Matt, Jeff, Amy, Rebecca, Adam and Jay sat in complete silence, waiting for
something to happen. All six of them felt completely helpless and useless,
two feelings they had gotten used to feeling. Jeff, Amy, Rebecca and Jay
left the room for various reasons until only Adam and Matt remained. An
uncomfortable silence hung in the air and neither man knew what to say.
Eventually, Matt broke the ice, mentioning one thing they defiantly both
had in common.
"Are you looking forward to going back to work?" Matt inquired.
"Yeah," Adam answered simply. He didn't know what else to say, he was so used to his replies and comments to Matt being short and simple but something somewhere was telling him to make an effort. "At least then this whole mess will be over and we can gain some normality. As normal as travelling the country gets!" he joked.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Matt agreed. It's amazing really; any of the guys in the locker room could start a conversation about wrestling, it didn't matter if they hated each other or if they'd never spoke before. You had to love wrestling to be in the business and that love, the fire that burns within was something shared by all the employees of the WWE.
"What's going to happen with Dan when things get back to normal? Kel isn't around any more to take care of Dan," Adam inquired mentioning two more things both him and Matt had in common . their love for Danielle and her deceased mother Kelly.
"I don't know. I hadn't thought about it. We can hardly bring her on the road. It's no life for an eight year old and Kelly wouldn't want it either as she quit wrestling to raise Dan," Matt answered honestly.
Matt and Adam sat in silence both thinking hard about Danielle's future living arrangements when Amy and Rebecca walked into the room.
"What are you thinking about?" Amy asked when seeing the look of concentration on both of their faces.
"What's going to happen to Danielle when we're all on the -" Adam began to reply until his hazel eyes locked on Rebecca. He knew it was a great idea as soon as it entered his head and he knew he wouldn't have to run it over with Matt because he'd love it too. "Becca?" Adam questioned angelically.
"What do you want?" the brunette asked suspiciously as Matt realised what Adam wanted.
"We were just talking about what was going to happen to Danielle when we're on the road," Adam stated. He didn't need to say any more as Rebecca guessed what was coming next.
"And you want me to look after her?" she asked. She knew Adam to well and could read him like a book.
"Erm, yeah," Adam replied, shocked that Rebecca seemed to dislike the idea so much.
"You don't have to if you don't want to," Matt added quickly.
"No, I'd love to," Rebecca said smiling at the two men.
Adam jumped up and hugged his friend. Rebecca giggled. "I really believe you then," Adam told her.
"Yeah, I know," the hug broke up and Rebecca stood looking at Adam. "You know I love Dan, she's a great kid and I'll be privileged to look after her when you guys are on the road."
As soon as that was said there was a knock on the door followed by the door bell ringing.
"Are you looking forward to going back to work?" Matt inquired.
"Yeah," Adam answered simply. He didn't know what else to say, he was so used to his replies and comments to Matt being short and simple but something somewhere was telling him to make an effort.
