Eve's POV
Matt had been gone for almost a month after telling me he was taking time off. I had missed him a lot all the way through the time he was gone and I was working. Only occasionally did he call, but for some reason Matt had always sounded weak and sick but told me not to worry.
That was pretty difficult to do when I didn't have my friend around to help me.
I was lucky that for a few weeks we would be in the New York/ New Jersey area. I decided it would be best to pay a surprise visit to Matt. I was sure he would have been super happy from me going over to see him.
I had found out where his home was and quickly made my way to where he resided. When I had arrived, his car was parked in the driveway and I parked behind him; I was sure he wouldn't mind.
"Matt?" I asked as I rapped my knuckles against the wooden front door of his home. I tried again when there was no answer, and again once more. I began to get worried; Matt was most likely home, but wasn't answering me.
"He couldn't have found someone else?" I knew that entering without permission was never really a good idea, but I needed to see what was going on.
"Matt, are you here?" My voice had almost echoed when I walked through his home. I had reached the end of the hallway I was walking in when I saw there was a door in front of me that was opened slightly with a light on.
"Matthew?" Whispering just seemed to be appropriate for the situation. I entered and jumped so far back, I ended up fitting the wall behind me.
There in the bed was Matt, below the covers and sleeping. His face was extremely pale and thin, with dark circles under his eyes and dry lips. I didn't know what to do at the sight I was faced with as I stayed in the position I was in; that was when Matt had started to wake up.
His eyes opened slowly and he groaned as his body turned so he was on his side.
"What are you doing here, Eve?" Matt's voice was croaky as he spoke. I finally moved from the wall over to his bed, where I sat beside him.
"I was worried about you? What's going on with you?" My hand found his cheek and I finally felt how much his face had thinned out.
"My cancer has come back. The McMahon's saw it before I could, that's why I had to have time off."
