Ring Ring Ring Time to wake up!

My dreamless night was awaken by the alarm clock. I didn't intend to sleep through the rest of the day plus a night. Everything was exactly the same when I woke up. I was in the exact same place—the couch—as when I went to sleep. I could tell I was a mess, the dry tears on my face made my face hard. Crying myself to sleep wasn't what I wanted to do, but it made me feel better.

10:10am? I've been asleep for 16 hours! I knew everyone was up—including Evan, the only one that really mattered except Maria. I ran to the mirror to check my appearance, and I did look like a mess. I grabbed the brush that was on my dresser and ran it threw my hair. I was low maintenance so after one stroke I looked descent. Nobody really studied my clothes, so I didn't bother changing them. And out the door I went.

My regular pace turned into a sprint for the elevator. I wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone.

"Watch it!" The familiar voice said. I couldn't think of the person from the top of my head, so my head immediately looked up to see who it was. I was surprised to see Cody Rhodes.

"Oh, sorry!" Was all I could say. I didn't want to make Cody mad because I knew where ever one member of Legacy was, the others were closely behind. Cody made a weird face I have never seen before. He is usually a calm person, but for once I saw a flash of anger shoot across his face.

"You want to know, what I could do to you?" He said, laughing a little at an inner thought. Where did that come from? It was so random, I mean, what did I do to him? I backed away a little with a look of fear on my face. He followed me until my back hit the wall; he had me trapped.

"Answer me! Do you know how much pain I could cause you? How much suffering, I could make you go through?" He threatened me, but I had no idea what for. His eyes narrowed at me, like he was planning his kill. I could imagine this all happening to someone else, and me watching. I probably looked like a helpless mouse and he looked like a cat about to pounce. I didn't know how to reply and Cody. He got frustrated more and more with the silence and put both of his arms against the wall, blocking any possible way for me to get away.

"God damn it Eve, answer me!" He said, face turning beat red. I didn't have an answer. My mind was racing with different thoughts; I just couldn't wait for this to be over.

"I'm not scared of you." I hated the words as soon as they came out. What a stupid thing to say—such a big lie. His dark look turned into a little smirk and my expression was still fear.

"Really? You're not scared of me? I highly doubt that. I could probably kill you if I wanted to." The words were true, but I don't know why he would want to. Again, why did this happen? What did I do to him? He wouldn't kill me for nothing, would he? Did I just pick the wrong time to see him or something? Where were Ted and Randy? I need help.

"I doubt you would kill me. I doubt you can kill me!" I lied again, and it was obvious to tell I wasn't thinking before I was saying. His smirk turned into a serious look.

"You want to bet?" He said, with a deep voice that didn't sound like his. He was pulling something out of his back pocket when the elevator ring made us both jump. He got off the wall; and backed away from me. I was still trembling because I realized it could have been Legacy. The door slowly opened and my heart pounded hard.
The door opened and there was only one man I was relieved to see—Evan Bourne. He saw me and Cody by the wall and immediately came to my rescue.

"What's going on Cody?" Evan said, going into protective mode. Cody laughed a little bit.

"Just having a conversation with your little girlfriend about the weather." He said, testing how far Evan would believe him.

Evan could tell Cody was lying by the way my face looked and the sweat coming from me. "Yeah, I thought so." Evan retorted, but Cody knew he was being sarcastic.

"See you around very soon, Eve." He said turning his back to me and Evan. "See you soon to, Evan. Oh wait….guess I won't be seeing you around soon. Well, have a good life in TNA, Evan." He said, laughing to himself--a smart ass laugh. After a few seconds he was out of sight. Evan turned to me, looking concerned.

"Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?" Evan said, hoping I was fine. My face must have looked weary or something.

"Yeah, I'm fine--don't worry." I said, reassuring. He looked me in the eyes, making everything better.

"Then what was that conversation about? What did he say to you?" Evan asked.

My memory was vivid, the words he said to me still echoed, sending chills down my spine. "Well, it was weird. I mean, I just bumped into him heading toward the elevator and I said sorry then he's like, I can kill you you know and I can cause you pain and suffering. It was the weirdest thing! I don't know why he said all of that stuff; it just came out of nowhere. Then you came before he was going to do something, and yeah." His expressions changed from anger to confusion to unreadable. I wish I could hear his thoughts, but I think it's better not to.

"What was he going to do?" Evan asked, anger hidden in his voice.

"I don't really know—and I'm happy I don't know." I said, trying to change the subject.

"Well as long as your okay…" he said, "But when I'm gone promise me you'll stay away from Legacy."

"Don't worry about that, I would never want to be hanging around them anyways." I said, assuring.

He sighed a sigh of relief and smiled "Good. Now today is our last day together, let's make it count. What do you want to do today?"

"Anything you want to do." I said sincerely and smiling. He paused into space, thinking of something to do.

"I have an idea, would you like to go to the beach with me?" He said, voice sounding hopeful.

"Sure! I'd love to." I said, happy.

"Then let's go. We don't need stuff to have fun, just you and me." He said, imagining it as he spoke. I followed him to the elevator. This time, we didn't run into anybody on the way. Nobody was even in the lobby, which surprised me. Evan led me to his car, so I assumed he was driving. He let me turn the station to any station I wanted. The music broke the silence in the car. The music was the only sound, he didn't talk and I didn't bother to. He was still deep in thought. Probably thinking about TNA. At least it wasn't a long ride, so the silence would only last so long.

When we got there, there were only few people on the beach. Instead of going to the beach, Evan led me to a walk path.

"Want to take a walk?" He said, hoping to avoid the fans.

"Sure." I said, willing to do anything with him. How could I say no? It was my last day with him. Knowing that kind of ruined the moment, but I had to put that behind us. If I didn't, it would ruin our whole day together.

We started walking together, and he held my hand. His hands were nice and warm. It made me feel safe inside, he always did. I loved being with him. Such a nice day, the sun showing but not so much where it would be burning.

"Are you going to miss me?" He said voice normal. I wish he would stop bringing it up. It's too early to talk about this—we have all day!

"You know I am, Evan. I love you." He smiled when I said it.

"I know. Don't get into any trouble when I'm gone. I know how you are."

"Yeah, I won't." I said, getting annoyed by the subject.

"Good." He said, voice getting lower. He was thinking too hard.

The walk was quieter then both of us wanted. We just didn't have much to say, I mean what was left? This was our last day together, and we only had 4 more hours together, he had to leave at 3:00pm for his flight to Denver. Our minds were racing. I just wanted to be in his presence. After the walk, we went on the beach. The light hot sand felt nice on my feet. Nobody came up to us and asked us for autographs or anything, so it was nice. There was an open blanket lying on the sand, so Evan and I sat on there. Our bodies laid next to each other, and our head stared at each other. His arms held me lightly. I was exactly where I wanted to be forever. I closed my eyes to savior to moment, and he closed his eyes to. I drifted asleep in his arms.

It was a peaceful sleep, no dreams, no interruptions, just perfection. Everything was always perfect with him. Time flew by faster than it ever has. I woke up to him nudging me.

"It's time to go." He said, still sleepy.

"What? It can't be!" I said, not moving, just wanting to sit there forever.

"Yes, it's 2:30. I need to be at the airport at 3. We need to go." He said, ruining the moment by moving.

"Okay." I said, doubting everything at that moment. Doubting him leaving, doubting everything.

We got up and walked off the beach. The last thing I remember is how nice the sand felt. It still felt like I was dreaming, but this time it was a nightmare.

The airport was the worst part. I helped him with his suitcases, and he didn't talk to me once. He didn't look at me either. I guess he was trying to make this easier for me, but it didn't work. Everyone was staring at us as we walked to the plane. The song "Thunder" was stuck in my head, and it made the moment a lot more emotional. I held his hand for what would be one of the last times for a long time. I never wanted to let go. It was a pretty long walk to the plane, and it was better that way. Every second counted now with Evan. I knew it was the last seconds that would be playing on 'repeat' in my mind for the next year.

The walk eventually ended. We had about two minutes to say goodbye. I gave him the bag I was carrying for him, and he set it down by the others—right next to him.

He looked at me, not knowing the right way to close this, "Well….I guess this is kind of it." His voice sounded confused, but we both knew what was going on.

"Yeah." I said, sad. "I really don't want you to leave." I said, but I knew the statement wouldn't change anything. He already knew what I thought about him leaving.

"I know, I know. But trust me; it will be a fast year." He said, lying, but trying to reassure me.

I had to look like I believed him, even thou he probably knew I didn't. "Yeah, I know." I looked down "But I still don't half to like you leaving."

He smiled "I know. I'm going to miss you soooooo much." He grabbed my hand when he said it and traced the marks on them.

"I'm going to miss you more then you will miss me." I said, it wasn't so post to be a joke, but it came out like that. I looked back to see his expression, and it was a smile.

"Eve, you have no clue…." He said. The sentence didn't sound right, but I knew what he meant.

---Everyone on the first class to Denver flight, please aboard the plane---

He rolled his eyes at the words the speaker said, and I sighed lightly. He gave my hand a quick squeeze, and we both smiled at each other, trying to hide the sorrow. That's so Evan. Trying to make a joke out of a sad situation. I loved him.

"Well, I guess I got to go now." He said, obviously trying to make this a slow goodbye but it was kind of hard to do that.

"Yeah. Never forget me, Evan. I'll be waiting right here for you." I said, telling the truth. Looking deep into his eyes, sparkling from the lights.

"Just remember to keep your promise to me. There are no other girls that compare to you. I would never be with anyone but you." He said, serious.

I wanted to cry, but it would ruin the moment. I just held in the tears and my heart that wanted to come out. "I love you. I always did, and always will." I said, not knowing anything else to top the sweet things he could say.

He laughed a little, "I love you more."

----Last call for first class. Get on board!!!----

"You better get going!" I sounded worried, so he wouldn't miss his flight.

He smiled, "I know, I know. Just be safe, Eve. You will see me soon. It will pass. Gosh, I better stop talking!"I smiled and he leaned in to kiss me. It was a kiss with lots of emotion. I could see all our times pass before my eyes, and see what I was going to be missing. With all its glory—it had to end, even if I didn't want it to. He pulled away and I watched him pick up his stuff.

"Be safe." Was all I could say, my voice getting lost.

"I will, you be safe. And stay away from Legacy." He said, not looking at me but picking up his luggage, checking his plane ticket, etc. He looked at me quickly when he had all luggage in his hand.

"I will, I will." I promised. There was no point of him even saying that. I would never be hanging around Legacy, and if I did they would kill me first.

"I love you. I'm going to miss you. See you…." He said, already walking into the plane. I could tell he didn't want to leave now—but as he said it would work out in the end. Everything does.

"Love you more…." I said, almost in a whisper. He couldn't hear me, but he knew it already. He turned back to smile; then he was out of sight. I sat on the bench by the plane for a few minutes, waiting for everyone to aboard it. It took about 13 minutes; but eventually, the plane took off. I had to see it. It was the last memory I had of Evan, except the kiss and the smile. It would scar my mind until the next time I really saw him in person.

The tears slowly came out. That's when I knew I had to head back to the hotel; before anyone saw me and asked what was wrong. I didn't want to talk about today. I was defiantly going to put today behind me as much as I could.

The car was silent, mostly in deep thought about him and my future here without him. It was going to be easy—if I made it that way. Life is what you make it…right? That's what they say anyways. It didn't believe it. Life is how faith makes it—like it or not.
