| �Matthew Moore Hardy, you are hereby sentenced to four years imprisonment.� Christian sat in the dock as sentence was passed, his hand moved up to cover his mouth, he turned and fell onto Jeff�s shoulder and sobbed. Jeff showed no emotion as his brother was taken down from the stand. With one last look at his brother and lover, Matt disappeared behind a door with the police escort. �Oh my god Jeff� Christian whispered, Jeff looked down at the man beside him, and patted his arm, saying nothing. He watched silently as the court room slowly emptied. He didn�t want to leave, he didn�t want to stay. He resigned himself to his fate and stood up. Christian looked up at him in question. Jeff spoke for the first time that day. �We need to leave� Christian nodded and stood up leaning on Jeff�s arm for support. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: �Get in the van boy� instructed the police officer, Matt climbed into the secure van without protest. He sat down in bewilderment, he was Matt Hardy, he shouldn�t be in prison. �Come on, make room, there are other prisoners boy� the large surly guard shoved Matt further into the van �yeahyeah, I�m moving� Matt said quietly and shifted up the van. He started straight ahead as another man joined him int ehc onfined space. The doors banged behind them as a police officer climbed in. The large red-head grinned �Well boys you�d better introduce yourselves, you�re gonna be sharing this van for the next hour, and prison for the next few years� the guard laughed at his own dire attempt of humour. Matt glanced to the side of him and saw his companion, he nodded his head in greeting, the other man looked down at the floor. The guard laughed once more �He�s Matt� he announced, pointing a grubby finger �and he�s�what�s your name boy, stupid name wasn�t it?� The blonde haiired man looked up �my name is Edge� he said quietly �See what I mean?!� cried the guard �Stupid fucking name to call someone!� Matt looked over to the man he now knew as Edge, he was still looking down at the floor. The men arrived at the prison, and were led to their cells by another guard. He was tall with long blonde hair and seemed friendly enough �Right then boys, I�m Chris� he greeted �but you guys�ll have to call me Mr. Jericho. Right then� he looked down and scanned the piece of paper on his clipboard �which one of you is Edge?� he asked not looking up �I am� replied Edge quietly. Mr. Jericho looked up and smiled �Right then, follow me, I�ll introuce you to your cell mate� Mr. Jericho walked away briskly and Matt and Edge followed in silence. Jericho stopped suddenly at a metal door. �Right then, Edge, here you go� Mr. Jericho unlocked the door and gestured for him to enter. Edge walked in and looked around the cell. �And�don�t go on the top bunk, that�s Benn�s�.he don�t like people interfering with him� smiled Jericho. Edge�s face fell. Jericho smiled �Don�t worry Junior, I�m sure he�ll like you, you seem quiet enough. Just keep it that way.� He added with a serious look �Come on Mr.Hardy, you�re next� Jericho suddenly turned and left, Matt looked into Edge�s cell and smiled a small smile at his companion, Edge looked at him and then around his meagre surroundings once more �Come ON Mr. Hardy, we haven�t got all day!� called Jericho. Matt looked in the direction of Jericho and hastily made his way to the guard. �Follow me� Jericho instructed. A little while later, two floors up, Jericho stopped at another, apparently, identical, solid grey metal door. �This is your cell� announced Jericho swinging the door open �in you go� Matt wandered into the cell, and turned to look at Jericho. Jericho smiled �See you downstairs at dinner� and with that, he left. Matt stood in the cell for a minute. He put his few belongings on the bottom bunk of the bed, and took a moment to take in his surroundings. The walls were a bare concrete, there was a modest bunk, two small cabinets, a toilet, a sink and a small mirror, a few personal items, apparently belonging to his cell mate.. He sat down on the bed and wondered when he�d be able to call Christian and Jeff. Suddenly the door banged open. Matt jumped up in fear. �Who the fuck are you?� asked a large blonde haired man. �I�m..I��stammered Matt �Spit it out, what�s your fucking name?� �Matt Hardy, sir� he replied �Hmm. Matt?� the man asked, he jumped up onto the top bunk and closed his eyes, Matt stared at him, unsure of what to do next. �What?!� the man asked shortly, looking through slanted eyes at the dark young man. �Uhh�what�s.. your name sir?� �Hmm� I think I like you calling me sir. You can call me that� smirked the man as he closed his eyes again. Matt�s mouth gaped open, he quietly sat down on the bed and looked down at his things. Suddenly a face appeared over the side of the bed �So then kid, what you in for?� Matt looked down. The man continued �You know, I can always find out. I don�t HAVE to ask you.� Matt looked up �I was caught with drugs.� He whispered �Which type?� asked the man sounding deeply unimpressed �Heroine� admitted Matt The man regarded Matt for a moment �What the fuck is a lttle boy like you doing with drugs like that?� he asked �Huh? I wasn�t taking them sir� .At that, the man smiled, Matt continued �I just had them on me� �That doesn�t answer my question� �Well, it�s a long story� said Matt �Oh, and were do you think you�re going so soon?� asked the man in a friendly voice Matt looked up shocked at first, and then smiled despite hiself �Ahh, fuck it, I don�t wanna hear your sob story. I�m tired� Matt nodded, and the man laid back down on his bed. �So then?� asked Matt breaking the silence �What?� �Ummm�� �Murder.� replied the man knowing the question that was coming. Matt�s eyes widened in fear �don�t worry son, I ain�t gonna kill you, I�m out in three years. Don�t wanna fuck that up.� Matt sighed in relief and then started again �uuhhh..� �What is it now?�.you know I could change my mind about fucking up my sentence� the man warned �oh�uhh. I only wanted to ask. What�s your name. I don�t want to have to call you sir.� Matt�s apparent bravery impressed the man, �My name�s Hunter, you can call me that� Matt nodded his head. He laid down on his bed, an uncomfortable silence filled the room. �Hunter!� cried a man. Hunter rolled over in his bed �What the fuck do you want Benny?� asked Hunter shortly Benoit smiled �I got me a new playmate�this one�s called Edge� Benoit turned and looked behind him �come here Edge!� Matt perked up slightly at the sound of his name. Edge emerged from around the corner. �Ain�t he pretty?� asked Chris, trailing his hand over Edge�s chin. Hunter looked up, �Oh yeh sure�real pretty� he said with disinterest. Chris smiled �hey looks like you got yourself one too.� pointed out Chris noticing Matt for the first time. �Fuck off Benn� replied Hunter �Awww�.don�t Hunty like his new toy?� teased Benny �I�ll play with him if you like� said Benoit moving forward to Matt �Me, Edge �n� him could have some fun.� Hunter suddenly jumped down from his bed �Fuck off Benn� he said dangerously. Chris grinned �oh well, Edge�ll have to do� he said grabbing Edge�s arm Edge eye�s widened in fear. �You leave him alone as well Benn. He�s only young, try playing with someone your own age� said Hunter warningly Chris stepped closer to Hunter �oh, you mean like you?� he asked running a finger down Hunter�s arm a leering look in his eye. Hunter grabbed Chris� arm and twisted it tightly. �No�try Glenn�he�ll fucking teach you a leson you won�t forget. Oh no�he�s done that already hasn�t he big man?� sneered Hunter Chris� eyes narrowed and he yanked his arm away from Hunter and stalked out of the cell. Hunter watched him leave and jumped up onto his bunk. �He won�t touch you now now son� he said to Edge �If does, tell me� Edge nodded quickly, a loud bell rang. Matt and Edge looked at each other in confusion. Hunter sat up �Come on� he said cheerily �Dinner� |
