How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 53

*Jeff*

I don't remember much of what happened after the nurses gave me that sedative. All's I remember is that Matt came back over and asked me what had happened.

"I had another nightmare..." I whispered. "Morgan killed me again. This time she gave me the 'Kiss of Death'."

Matt looked at me before sitting down next to me. "Jeff..."

"Matt," I said, sitting up and looking at him. "I know what you're going to say and as much as I would love to try and control these nightmares, I really cant."

Matt looked me in the eye and grabbed my shoulders. "But you know, deep down, that she would never hurt you."

"I know that," I said. "But I also don't."

On Sunday, at the preshow, me, Matt and Ryah walked in. Ryah had a look on her face that said that she was out for blood. I didn't know who or what she was looking out for, but I knew she was out for blood.

Later, we stood around talking for a few minutes, when Morgan and Velvet walked up to us. Well, I didn't really know that Morgan and Velvet were behind me until Morgan grabbed my arm and swung me around gently.

"Hey," she said softly, her eyes full of concern. "Are you okay? Why did you flip out at the hospital?'

Oh boy, did I not want to have this conversation with her. Morgan has blamed herself for so much that if I told her why I flipped out, she'd probably blame herself again.

"I had another nightmare," I said looking at her. Morgan leaned her head to the side.

"Do you want to tell me about it?" she asked me, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"N-Not really, I'd rather not relive it."

"Can you at least tell me who was in the dream?" she asked me.

"It was you and me, but you killed me again," I said softly looking down.

Morgan looked at Velvet before nodding to Ryah. Velvet grabbed her arm and led her away from us and suddenly there was just us two. Morgan turned back to me and smiled softly.

"Okay, you know that I would never kill you, right? I could never pull myself to do that. So, however you're getting these nightmares," she said as she put her hands on my shoulders. The warmness of her hands gave me a safe feeling. "I just need you to understand that I will never ever ever even go as far as to even try to kill you. You need to try and get that out of your head okay, because I don't want you freaking out every time you see me."

When she said, tears found their way to my eyes and I turned my head so that way she didn't have to see me crying again. I think I've already worried her enough when I cried last night. She didn't seem to mind as she wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me.

"Jeff, chill. Its okay, don't cry alright? I'm not even mad at you," she said as she hugged me tighter.

"I'm sorry," I said. Why? I don't really know. It wasn't my fault I was having those dreams.

"Its not your fault. Its nobody's fault, alright? So, just chill out. Everything is alright," she told me as she let go of me and backed up a little. I responded back with a smile which she returned.

"Alright, well, I'll see you later, okay?"

"Okay," turning my head slightly, wiping some tears from my eyes and walking off.

*Ryah*

"Yea, its Morgan's fault that Jeff is passing out," I told Taryn as we walked down the hall. "I mean the dreams are about where she kills him. Not the other way around."

"That's no surprise there," Taryn said, twirling her blonde hair. "I heard she threatened to kill Ethan and then held a knife up to Jeff's neck."

"She did. I was there," I said grabbing a bottle of water. "Now, this information cannot get back to the Hardys. If they find out, then I'm dead."

Pretty soon, Taryn sent a mass text to everyone about what I said and that I had said it, on the basis that I was a witness. Once everyone got the text. I left to go find Matt, he was standing there talking to someone on the phone and I walked up to him. He hung up the phone and we started chatting for a while before Morgan came up to us, a mask of red clouding her features.

"Alright, I cant take it! Are you serious?!" she shouted and I just rolled my eyes.

"You're making big drama,' I said as I pointed at her.

"Seriously? So you think what you're doing is okay?! I'm sick and tired of it!" I shouted. Matt looked between us trying to figure out what was going on.

"Tired of what?" I asked simply.

"Of the disrespect! Stop disrespecting me! Stop. Disrespecting. Me. Stop talking to other people when I'm out here doing what I have to do embarrassing me in front of other people! Just stop!" she shouted.

"I'm just telling them the truth," I said smirking.

"Stop disrespecting me! Just stop!" she screamed at me.

Matt, deciding that he had heard enough, grabbed Morgan by the arms and pulled her back.

"Morgan, stop, you need to calm down," he said softly to her. She glared at him before walking off to go calm herself down. Once she was gone, Matt turned to me.

"What the hell were you two talking about?" Ryah said.

"Oh Matt," I said smirking at him. "Don't worry about that."

A little while later, I was talking with Jeff. He didn't know about my outburst earlier today with Morgan. Suddenly, I looked into his deep green eyes and some powerful force came in and pulled me towards him. He looked nervous to do so. Just as I made contact, someone pushed me out of the way. What the hell?

I looked back to see Morgan kissing Jeff and my anger boiled. Not wanting to cause any more drama today, I walked off and left them alone.

*Jeff*

Morgan shoved Ryah away and planted a kiss on my lips. I was shocked at first and Morgan started to pull away, that is, before I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her with all the passion that I had. I saw that Ryah had walked away and I didn't really care any.

"Jeff?" she said breaking the kiss and looking up at me. "Before I go any further, do you blame me for you falling out?"

"No," I said. "I let a stupid dream scare me, and that's what made me pass out."

"But I held up a knife to your neck, and that's what made you pass out," she said looking away.

Just as she did for me, I put my arms around her smaller frame and held her there in a hug. "There is no way that these dreams were your fault? Who told you this?"

She teared up at this. "E-Eddie told me that Ryah told everyone that I had made you pass out," I said. I knew she wasn't going to make nice with Morgan, I just knew it. However, it still shocked me for some reason.

"Sweetheart," I said tucking a piece of hair behind her head. "You are not to blame."
