CenaCandiceFan4Life & ShannonxMoore'sxLoverx- Thanks for all the reviews and I hoped that you enjoyed the story.
Taylor POV
The day that Jeff was arrested was a horrible day, but the next day was the worst day of my life. I didn't think that it could or would get any worst, but it did. I was at home when Matt showed up at the door. He was upset and I knew that something else was wrong. I pulled him in a hug without any questions.
"Taylor, come on." He said and we sat down on the couch. Matt never told me anything while I was sitting down so I knew that something was definitely wrong.
"What is it, Matty?" I asked him and he took a deep breath.
"Taylor, Jeff committed suicide this afternoon." Matt said and I went numb. I couldn't fell anything because it hurt too badly. I looked at Matt and he pulled me to him as I started to bawl. I wanted it to be Jeff holding me, but I knew that I would never be in his arms again.
Shannon POV
The world came crashing down when I found out that one of my best friends had killed himself. I felt worse for Taylor because I knew that she truly loved him. I let Matt tell her the news because I couldn't tell her. I was at the shop when Julie told me; I lost it. I was so tired. I didn't know what to do or what to think. Jeff had been my best friend since I was little and I had always thought that we would all grow old in North Carolina.
Matt POV
I had a hard enough time taking the news that my little brother had killed himself, but when I had to tell Taylor, it only got worse. I just held her as she bawled and screamed. I knew that she loved both of us, but she and Jeff had a special connection.
I was holding her when she finally gave up and fell asleep. I hadn't given her the letter that Jeff had written her and I hadn't opened mine yet. He had written us all one and he left a suicide note. The suicide note was just like Jeff; simple and complex at the same time.
I put Taylor in her bed and just laid beside her. We needed each other right now and I eventually fell asleep.
Taylor POV
I woke up with Matt curled up beside me; I was hoping it was a bad dream, but I knew it wasn't. I got up and Matt woke up when I started to move. I just hugged him.
"I want to see Shan." I whispered and he nodded. We drove to Shannon's house and he was as upset as we were. Julie just hugged me when we walked in; Matt pulled Shannon into a hug.
"Have you read your letter yet?" Shan asked me as I hugged him.
"No, she doesn't have it yet." Matt said as he handed it to me.
"I will read it when I'm ready." I told him and he nodded.
Shannon POV
The next few days were hard; Matt and Taylor clung to each other for support. Gil was holding up pretty well and Shane was very upset. The funeral was a party for Jeff and the entire wrestling world showed up for it. We did it like we thought Jeff would want it. Matt, Taylor, Shane, and myself all got tattoo on our wrist in memory of Jeff. We all wanted to remember him and we knew that life would be the same without him, but we would move on with him in our memories.
1 Year Later
Taylor POV
I still had days when it was hard to get up knowing that Jeff wasn't there. Matt and I had gotten closer and I was now living in Jeff's old house. He had left everything to me because he knew that I wouldn't let him memories die. I had also started a charity in Jeff's memory for people who needed to get clean and suicide prevention.
I was now living for myself with Jeff's memory and for my little boy. I had found out that I was pregnant a few weeks after Jeff's death. I would always have a piece of Jeff and I was happy with that. Matt and I had gotten closer and he was helping me with my son. I was as happy as I could be and when I finally read my letter from Jeff it gave me some closure.
I still miss Jeff every day, but when my son does something that is just like his dad I can't help but smile. I am making it and I will be ok. I am just glad that Jeff doesn't suffer anymore and that he doesn't have to deal with any pressures. I still love him and I always will.
