How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 3

*Matt*

Look, I know what you're thinking, "Matt's so bad for not helping out Morgan or her girls." Yes, I know, I know I screwed up. I screwed up my friendship with Morgan just because I didn't pull Vivian off of her daughters. I was in shock 1) because she actually could handle herself in a fight, and 2) she was actually beating up one of her hero's kids.

Maybe I should--no. I KNOW that I should have pulled them apart. I just didn't. I was frozen there in shock. I was pissed at Jeff though. He claims that he loves them girls so badly, but then he doesn't go and pull them off himself. Don't get me wrong, Alexis and Avril are two very talented girls and I know that me and Jeff would put our lives on the line if that meant they were safe. But Jeff had no reason to not pull his trainee/girlfriend off of them.

There was something amiss about Vivian. She drops in and immediately hooks up with Jeff, and for what reason. I knew there was no way in hell that she was trying to piss Morgan and the girls off, but something didn't seem right. She said that she wanted to go to her friend John's house when we could have very easily just taken her back to my place for the night and then taken her wherever she needed to go.

There was something not right and I needed to get to the bottom of it before someone got hurt.

*Jeff*

Vivian called the next morning and said that she was going to come over for a visit. Why in the early morning? She could have waited until later that day when I was more awake, but hey, whatever. This was the first easy sleep I got since this whole thing started.

I was feeling sick that morning, but I figured that I would be okay by tonight. I was up with terrible adominal pain and I chalked that up to the food I had the night before after we got Vivian to John's place. I figured that if I went to bed and slept that it would go away. Wrong. I woke up the next morning after Vivian's call and they were about 10 times worse. Again, chalked it up to the food and maybe even stress from dealing with what happened last night.

We talked and started making out and it got so heated, but the "pleasure" didnt last real long. I was feeling pain from that too. We ended it early and we just laid there until we fell asleep. Later that day, I woke up and felt something wet. I shot up and stumbled out of bed as I hobbled to the bathroom. I shut the door the behind me and immediately took off my boxers. What I saw was pretty scary for me to describe but I knew right then and there there was something wrong.

I called Matt and after 3 rings, he answered. "Hello?" he said groggily, clearly just had woken up from me calling him.

"Matt, you've gott take me to the hospital!" I said softly trying not to wake Vivian up. "There's something wrong."

"Okay," Matt said and hung up on me. I waited at the door for Matt for about 20 minutes and finally he came by and took me to the hospital. On the way, I told him about my discoveries.

"Jeff..." Matt said. "Who else has Vivian been with these last few days?"

"John," Jeff said. "Why?" Matt looked away from me back at the road, suddenly getting real silent. "Why, Matthew?"

"She might have given you an STD," he said, and I pailed. Oh my god...she could have been seeing someone on the side.

I shook that thought off, we wouldnt know until we got to the hospital. When we did, I told them that I needed testing done for an STD that I might have, but prayed that I didn't have. After about 20 minutes of hard testing, I sat in the waiting room with Matt. In all honestly, if I had an STD and Matt was right about Viv cheating, I dont know what I would do. Morgan would probably kill her if this got out and if I had it.

The doctor came out and told me what I didnt want to hear.

"Sir, you tested negative for everything except gonarreha."

My heart dropped in my chest and I wanted to go home and yank her out of bed and throw her out. But I couldnt--oh wait! She decieved me and as far as I was concerned, that was enough to gome home and throw her out.

On the way back home, I calmed down and told Matt to wait downstairs for a minute while I went to talk to Vivian. She was sitting on the bed reading a book that was in my nightstand. I crossed my arms and cleared my throat.

"Who is he?" I said simply. Vivian looked up, clearly confused on what I said.

"Who is who, Jeff?" she said putting the book down and staring at me. Those eyes were full of lust and concern, and right now I just wanted to hit her for even giving me this diease.

"Who did you sleep with?" I repeated myself, feeling angrier by the second. Vivian gasped and walked over to me.

"Jeff, what are you talking about babe? I didn't sleep with anyone! Trust me!" Vivian begged pathetically and I knew right then and there she was lying.

"Yea," I pushed past her and sat on the bed. "Then tell me why I have been feeling sick last night after I ate, and that our time was painful, and that I went to the hospital with Matt and tested positive for gonarreha?!" I screamed at her throwing the book she was reading at her. Well, not really at her.

"Maybe you got it from Morgan!"

"That's a bunch of bull," I said looking out the window. "The only guy she ever got that close to was me, and even then we didnt do much." I turned back to Vivian, who had a mixture of sadness and guilt in her eyes.

"Tomorrow, I'm getting a shot for this. But I want to know the truth and I want to know it now. Who the hell did you sleep with?"

Vivian looked like she was trapped and she sat down and tried to bury her head into my shoulder crying. I got up once she made contact and she hit the bed hard.

"Jeff...I'm so sorry...I-I cheated on my boyfriend, John, with you!" she screamed and I was taken back.

"Oh! So your good friend John was really a good friend wasnt he?" I said sarcastically. "God I cant believe I let another woman hurt me again, first Ryah, and now you! Actually, you played me this whole time and I didnt notice before. Well, Vivian MacRae, I'm not going to let you hurt me anymore. And I most certainly will be going to John's house and bringing this little detail up."

"No, Jeff, please!" she begged and I turned my back to her.

"Get the fuck out ho," I said and she walked out sadly. I layed myself out on my bed and let my thoughts consume me. It wasnt long before sleep consumed me as well. It was times like this when I wish I had stayed by Morgan's side...I missed her. I was tired of hurting her, and myself.
