RPF (sports) Matt Hardy/Jeff Hardy On the road again...
At home, Matt could only watch as his little brother hurt himself. There was nothing he could do, not when Jeff could closed the door on him, or had his girlfriend answer the phone to say he was fine, just sleeping (off another near overdose). He could only stand back, wait for the fallout, and then clean up another mess.
But when they were on the road again, together as they had been since childhood, it was different. There, Matt could hold his brother tightly while he shook. There, he could stroke the fried hair and run his finger over the cracked lips. He would kiss the tears away until Jeff responded in kind, uniting them again.
