"Mr Hardy? …Mr Hardy?" The nurse tapped him on the shoulder, waking him up.
He had been laying in the hospital bed for about an hour at this point, the first half of which he spent drifting in and out of consciousness. A doctor was supposed to come in and see him shortly, after having the answers to some of the tests they were conducted on him.
Matt hadn't remembered much of what had happened in the match, just the unscripted violence of Edge, to which he assumed landed him in this place. He had no idea what was wrong with him, but his head and face was killing him.
He finally opened his eyes to face the nurse.
"Mr. Hardy, there is a young woman out there asking about you, is it okay if we bring her in" The nurse who was hanging in front of him asked.
Matt cleared his throat "Uhh yeah" he said confused
Moments later she appeared at the door "Matt?" She asked slowly, he hands immediately raised up to her face covering her mouth in shock.
She couldn't stand to look at him lying there in that hospital bed. He had all kinds of wires attached to him, she didn't even know where they were all leading to. His face was covered in bandages and was slightly bruised in spots already, and his ribs were rapped.
She walked over to him and touched his face making note of the stitches on his cheek and forehead. Her heart melted.
He couldn't believe that she was standing there "Amy?"
She slowly nodded her head biting her lip "Is it okay if Im here?" Matt nodded in response as Amy took a seat in the empty chair next to the bed.
They sat in silence for moments, neither knowing what to say.
"So um, how do you feel?" She aksed, the answer was obvious, but she saw it as an easy ice breaker.
"Like shit" Matt said blankly.
She frowned at him weakly.
"What happened?" he asked "I don't remember much…I was supposed to win, and then…I don't even know" He tried to rack his brain but it was no use.
"Vince booked you to win?" Amy exclaimed excitedly, as Matt nodded as head. "Oh wow Matt, that's huge!" She then looked at the state his was in before her, and saw that none of that mattered now "Well, what happened, I don't know…you were climbing the ladder, to win Im assuming, and then Adam came and pushed the ladder over. Then he proceeded to pound you with it, first in the ribs" she said while tracing the bandage on his middle "And then he began to hit you in the face. After that he…" Amy put her head down for a moment, obviously bothered by what she was about to say next "He dragged you outside the ring, and got one of the sledge hammers that they have Triple H use, and began to hit you with it just as security came out to take him away." She paused "The medics came out to take care of you, and once I saw that it wasn't part of the show, I had to leave…I had to see how you were."
Her eyes were honest as she looked deep into his. For this one moment Matt forgot all about what happened two years ago.
"Do they know whats wrong with you?" Amy spoke breaking their trance, she could only guess by the look of his face, but she didn't know what he knew.
Matt shook his head "Im waiting any minute for someone to come in."
"Adam's and asshole " Amy mumbled
Matt looked over at her, suddenly drawn back to the past "Tell me about it."
Amy looked down, it stung. Before she could say anything, a doctor appeared in the room.
"How are you feeling?" The doctor questions as he eyed over Matts information.
"Wonderful" Matt joked sarcastically.
"Well Mr. Hardy, we have the results of your tests…but before I can begin that, out of privacy, I have to ask that your visitor leaves" He paused "Unless shes some sort of family"
Amy went to stand up, but Matt placed his hand on her leg, not letting her.
"Shes my girlfriend" he lied.
The doctor nodded letting her know that it was okay for her to stay " Well Mr. Hardy, you suffered a small concussion. More than that the cartilage around your ribs is damaged, so its going to be tender for a few days, itll probably be difficult to walk. "
Matt nodded, minor discomfort, but nothing huge, he thought.
"We had to put a total of 15 stitches on your forehead." The doctor continued " You have ended up with a broken nose however, so we're going to prepare you for surgery in about an hour" he explained.
Matt and the doctor discussed his injurys for a while before he left, leaving Matt and Amy alone again.
"You know, it looked a lot worse than it is" Amy explained
Nodding "Yeah, I just don't want to have to stay here all day" he laughed.
Amy smiled, but had to address something that was on her mind "Matt, why did you say I was your girlfriend?"
"That was the only way they would let you stay" Matt explained "I figured I owed it to you to know what was wrong with me, since you came all the way down here" He smiled.
"Matt, I was so worried about you" she cupped his cheek with her hand, her eyes started to well up " It looked so bad out there--"
"shh" Matt cut her off "Everyone is okay"
She looked down, "I know, I know, I just never say anyone get beat that aggressively, when it wasn't in the script…I think someone huge had happened" She paused "I want to fix things. Matt, I know I screwed up, and I hurt you…"
Matt avoided her eyes.
"…We cant keep up their awkward game. I want to be friends…and not like what we claim we are now." She paused " I cant not have you in my life. Tonight was a wake up call…"
Matt reached over and held her hand as slow tears rolled down her cheeks, she tried her best to hide it. "Im glad youre here" he said quietly.
Amy nodded.
The two sat like that for what seemed like forever until a nurse appeared at the door, explaining that they would need to take him into for preoperation.
