The air was still and the night was quiet, a day of excitement has come to an end where everyone retired to bed. The watch vibrated as the alarm went off showing the time of exactly 2 in the morning. Jeff woke up startled, he sat up for a minute and looked at his watch wondering why the hell did he set the alarm for. The extreme one smacked his own forehead as he suddenly remembered his big plan ~The escape. Jeff quietly slipped out of bed and crept toward the outlet of his temporary prison, hoping the door that separates him from the world outside would not be locked. He placed both hands onto the door handle and tried his luck, a relieving "click" come to his ears as he pulled the door ajar carefully. Nobody was in sight. Good! Luck was definitely on his side tonight. Without further hesitation, Jeff ventured out and headed straight to the exit of the unit and in less than 15 seconds he was out and going. Jeff couldn't moved fast as he's ribs aching and head pounding, he swear to himself that he wouldn't going to ride his bike in rainy day again. As he traded on aimlessly passing by numberless doors of unit just like the one he came out from, his heart pounded harder against his chest. The Hardy continued searching for the way out desperately, he didn't know what else to do, where to go or who to seek help from. He knew staying here wouldn't help, especially with these people who didn't even trust him. Who blame them? He was a complete stranger in this world. "What are you doing?" came a voice right behind him. Jeff swilled around, and found himself face to face with the girl whom they called Geena. "I..." should he attack her? He hesitated. "Going somewhere, Jeff?" she asked calmly, looking at him straight in the eyes. "I can't stay here, I need to go." Jeff answered briefly as he started to back away from her. "Stay where you are, you are in no condition to go anywhere." his unusual behavior caused her to advance closer. "No!, you stay where you are! Don't make me hurt you." he warned. "You are Jeff Hardy aren't you? Matt's brother." "What made you say that?" Jeff looked at her with astonishment. "Let me help you, we can settle this together." she pleaded with hope. "You can't help me." how he wished she could. "Don' judge that without giving me a chance. Look Jeff, don't injured yourself any further. You can go wherever you want after you are well, I promise I wouldn't say a word about this okay?" she reached out and took his hand. Jeff was surprised that he didn't refused her. "Matt wouldn't just let me go, he'll.." Geena cut him short before he could finished the sentence. "Relax, let me deal with him. Now back to bed!" she smiled "No Geena, I mean it." Jeff pulled back suddenly. "Why?" "Cause... I.. I just have to." he couldn't find any excuse at all. Geena was silence for a second. "Then I'll go with you, but you must promise to come back with me. Besides, you can't get out of here without my help." she said with confidence. Jeff just stood there, too surprise to respond. "Deal?" she threw her hand out and gave Jeff a cheeky smile. "Deal!" said Jeff as he shook her hand firmly and this marked the beginning of an amazing friendship.
