Amber's POV
I walked through the back entrance of tonights Arena and it was defently not what I expected. Of course I wasn't expecting everyone to pop out of hiding places and welcome me back or something like that, but I was defently curious to know what People thought and if they were happy to see me back. I know the fans would be, but I wasn't to sure about my co-workers. None of them was to be seen expect the backstage crew.
As I kept walking, I quickly found the board with the match card on. My name was nowhere to be seen, I wasn't in the Divas Match as well which was between Charlotte and Sasha Banks. I felt kinda frustrated now, so I just grabbed my bag and walked towards the Divas locker room.
I noticed that I may have arrived a little bit early as I found the Locker room completly empty. But who could blame me? My torn ACL cost me almost a year of action. I signed, cause I wasn't to sure about what to do. There was no reason for me to unpack or even get dressed when my name wasn't on the match card. So I decided to walk around Backstage for a little bit, it's better than doing nothing at all.
As I was walking around, I checked my phone inbetween but no Tweets, no messages nothing. I smiled at the Backstage workers that met my eyes. Being a part of the WWE wasn't always easy, either you were in a lot of trouble and chaos or you were just lonley and on your own. But I was used to this so I didn't care at all.
"Amber?" I jumped as I heard a all to familiar voice calling my name. I turned around to see Nick (aka. Dolph Ziggler) standing there, and he looked sort of shocked to see me. "Hey Nick." I said. Until now, I didn't really realized how much I actually missed my best friend, or better said former best friend. After I got injured and had to go back home we lost touch. I had to admit that it hurt, knowing he didn't care much, even when he was busy. I wasn't expecting him to call me every day but in this intire time one phone call would have been decent for a so called best friend.
It looked like he lost his words as he was just staring at me, I noticed that he still had his bag in his hands what meant that he just arrived. He was always one of the first to arrive. "You're back" I just smiled at him.
"I missed being in the ring so I wanted to get back as soon as possible. Nick just smiled as he was inspecting the ground not saying anything at all. I hated this awkward silence it was something I haven't experienced in months or even years, specially not with Nick. There was never seomething awkward between us like that.
"Well, you are looking really good." he said as he looked back up meeting my eyes again. "But of course you always do," Why does he have to make this even more awkward for me, I didn't really knew what to say. "And before I forget it, Vince wants to see you. I guess he has some things to disguss with you." I nodded and Nick just walked past me saying nothing. I looked after him, still amazed how quickly people and friendships still can change.
Then I made my way to Vince's office.
"There she is, the person I've been waiting for the whole day." Vince said with a smile as I enterd his office. I gave him a small smile, and sat down across from his desk. "How are you doing?"
"I'm actually doing really good, my knee is much better now. Thank you for asking." He nodded, but as his expression turned thoughtful I was worried about what was coming. "So the first thing is, that tonight Stephanie will officially welcome you back in the ring." - "Okay. And what about the Storyline?" I said. "Oh, right.. How would you feel about a romantic storyline?" Well that was defently not what I expected.
"Okay, well I guess it's not that bad I haven't done it before." - "You know changes are always good." Vince said. "We were thinking about You and Roman Reigns team up together." As he said the name, I was really suprised. Did Roman even like us Divas? Cause I think he doesn't like anyone. There was a time in WWE, where Roman was a really nice guy, someone great to work with but a bit before I got injured she changed from one night to another. He pushed everyone away, got mad really quickly, never came working out with us or getting lunch with us.
"Does Roman know about this? Or even approve of this?" I asked, cause I was sure he didn't.
"I mentioned the idea to him last week. Listen Amber, I'm really behinde this idea. It's going to be good for the both of you."
"Mr. McMahon, with all respect I'm not sure a-" I got cut off.
"I'm know you have your problems imagine this but please at least give it a chance. There isn't a reason, why this sould not work out at all. As I listend to him I knew there was no way I could change his mind, and I really don't wanna get in an argument with my boss on my first night back. That's the last thing I need, now that I have to deal with Roman.
"Alright." He smiled and we both stood up. "Make sure to catch up with the writers to see what exactly you are doing tonight. The plan is to let you guys start and end the show so don't you dare to mess this up." he said looking all serious but then started laughing. "Seriously, don't mess this up." he said as I walked out of his office. WOW, with his words the pressure on my shoulders just got more and more.
I just closed the door behinde me, as it opend again "And one more thing Amber, make sure you talk to Roman about your Segment once you found out what you're going to do." he said and I nodded, as he closed the door again I rolled my eyes and groaned annoyed.
I was a 1000% sure Roman want's nothing to do with me, and if I would be honest - I don't wanna talk to him either.
I really hope you guys like it, let me know what you think! - Requests are always open! ;)
