How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 20

*Matt*

So, me and Jeff were looking for Morgan and we passed Brooke, who was staring down the hall, holding her face for some reason. We walked down many hallways and along the way I was flipping out.

"Where is she? I know she's somewhere!" I was half mad/half concerned at Morgan, which showed in my voice.

"She's gotta be back here somewhere!" Jeff said back to me. I went to say something else, but then we heard a voice being cleared. We turned our heads to see Morgan standing there with a blank look on her face and we walked up to her as she walked into the lighting of the incredibly dark hallway.

"Morgan!" I said throwing my hands up into the air. I just didn't understand her anymore and I really didn't know how much more I could take from her. "What the hell was that out there?!"

She didn't answer me, instead she stared at us with the same blank face she wore as she attacked all of us in the ring.

"...Morgan..." Jeff started looking at her in the eyes. I crossed my arms in a stern manner. As much as I didn't want to make Morgan run again, I didn't know what she wanted anymore. "Why did you suddenly attack Matt and push me?"

"..." she was silent and I was getting frustrated.

"Morgan, this isn't funny!" I said, getting angrier by the second.

"..."

"What did we do to you to deserve that?" I asked her walking up to her.

"Are you mad at us?" Jeff asked from behind me and I didn't know how he wasn't getting ticked at this. Probably because he's screwed up with her about a bunch of times. If anything, he looked and sounded confused. I rolled my eyes and I took Morgan by the shoulders and held her up against the wall. I knew Jeff wanted to tell me not to, but he knew better than to mess with me when I'm pissed.

"Morgan! Answer us! Say something, dammit!" I shouted in her face. She then smirked and giggled, and followed that up with a death glare in my direction. I suddenly got nervous and moved to let her go.

"Wrong. Move." she said to me before grabbing me by the shoulders and kicking me in the stomach so hard, I fell back with the force of the blow. Jeff fortunately caught me and then turned his attention to Morgan.

"Morgan what are you doing, I thought you loved..."

"You thought I loved you?" Morgan finished for Jeff, who looked confused that she kicked me over. "I do, but..."

"But what?" I heard Jeff say as I got up, both of us having questioning looks in our eyes. Morgan shook her head and seemed to have searched her brain for an answer.

"...You...you wouldn't understand, okay?" she said looking away from us. "Its something even I, myself, cant explain."

Its not that hard to explain, Morgan. I cant keep watching you two put each other through this, so either you love him or you don't. And if you do, then come up with a good reason that you cant be around us. I'm sick of seeing this happening, because you change looks and attitudes, and Jeff...well, I don't know what the hell goes on in his head, but still I know he's hurting when you don't tell him that you love him. Of course I refrained from saying all of this out loud to Morgan because I didn't want her to run causing Jeff to get pissed at me again.

During that thought, Morgan said that shed see us at the preshow, and walked off. Jeff shook his head and walked back to the locker room and I was standing there alone.

*Jeff*

I made it seem like I was going back to the locker room, but when Matt wasn't looking I turned the corner and headed for Ethan's locker room. I opened the door and slipped inside, knowing exactly what he wanted me to do. I just hoped Matt didn't hate me afterwards for what I was gonna do come Wednesday.
