Chapter 25
Matt sat there a long time, his mind was racing, the only good thing Matt could find about Jessica going away to New York for a few days was that at least she wouldn’t be going to the WWF show she was invited to. He sighed. Just then he heard his name being called. He picked his aching head up and turned to see Jeff walking towards him.
“Jeff.” Matt mumbled softly glancing at him and then looking away again.
“Matt dude, what’s wrong?” Jeff asked as he sat down next to Matt and patted his shoulder. Matt shrugged it away.
Neither of them spoke, and then Matt finally looked up at Jeff as he stared at him.
“Jeff, I have to tell Jessica, she has to know who I really am! But I don’t know how!” Matt whispered as he bit his lip and shook his head.
Jeff sighed, he knew Matt had to just be honest with her, but its something that is easier said then done. Jeff knew that, and he knew that Matt knew that. He knew that Matt was really stressed, and even though it hurt him to think about Jessica being with Matt, he hadn’t seen Matt this happy about someone in a long time.
Jeff took a deep breath and looked back to Matt’s weary dark brown eyes. “Matt as much as it hurts me to know you’re with her and I’m not, you…” Jeff said pausing as he pointed at Matt. “You have to keep trying! Tell her, don’t think about it just do it! Matt buddy promise me that you won’t stop trying!” Jeff said shaking Matt’s shoulder gently.
Matt stared at him for a long time.
Matt knew Jeff was right, he was always right. He sighed. As he stared at Jeff, someone he’d known for so long, and was like a brother to, he realized that he had to make this promise to him, because he really was trying to help him.
Matt tried grinning but he just cleared his throat and looked at Jeff. “Jeff I promise, I won’t stop trying!” Matt said softly pausing, “She’s gotta know the truth...”
