How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 9

*Matt*

After I got Jeff out of the hospital, I drove him back to his house house. I still wasn't thrilled that Jeff had slit his wrists like he did. But I wouldn't give him too much gruff over it, at least, not today. I had to go back to Impact Wrestling tomorrow so it was important to me that he stayed alive before I left, while I was gone, and after I came home. I wanted to give him so much shit for scaring me and Morgan like that. Oh! Morgan!

I picked up my cell phone and dialed Morgan's number while keeping my eyes on the road. I was superb at multitasking tonight.

"Is he out yet?" Morgan asked almost immediately after she picked up.

"Yes, they just released him. I'm taking him back to his place."

"Okay, I'll meet you there," she said before hanging up. I looked over at Jeff, who still wouldn't look at me.

"Don't worry," I said patting his leg. "Not going to give you shit tonight, maybe after I get back from the tapings though."

"Okay," he said, like he wasn't even listening.

I patted his leg again before we pulled up to his house. We got out and went inside and waited for Morgan. Once she got there she hugged Jeff and told him to not ever scare us like that again. I noticed that he was still having trouble looking at us, but that was to be expected. She told him that he could try to look at her. Once she did, I swore I saw her heart break.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd smack you. You know you scared the hell out of me and Matt right?" she questioned staring at him with all the comfort she could muster.

"Yes, and I'm sorry," he said back. I knew he wasn't initially going to cut himself but he did, and thought he had felt better.

She asked me if I wanted to say anything and I said no. I told her I was going to Impact tomorrow and she told me to take Jeff to get him out of the house. I was almost going to suggest her to go, but I knew she'd shoot that down quick. Besides I heard Morgan's kids were going to be starting, so it wasn't like he wouldn't have someone to talk to. I'm sure Morgan's friends were pissed at Jeff for breaking her heart again. She left and we watched a few movies before falling asleep on the couch.
