Chapter 84

Aaron and Ashley only kissed for a few minutes. Then they went back to having fun at the party. However, Evelyn approached her younger brother and her friend. She didn't give them a hard time. She just wondered. There was nothing Aaron and Ashley could really do with a relationship. All though, they planned on keeping in touch more.

Which they did.

However, six weeks later in August, Evelyn and Andy said their good-byes as he and Trevor were all moved out to Orlando for them to start their dreams of becoming WWE Superstars. The two were prepared to spend as many years as necessary in NXT before going up to the main roster. But they made a promise to each other that they would do it together and keep each other in check. Best friends turned brothers.

Andy was happy to be out in Orlando with Trevor. But he had hated saying good-bye to his little brother and Evelyn the most.

"God damn it," Andy said as he sat in the living room of the house Colby had bought especially for him and Trevor to stay in.

"It'll be all right," Colby said, comforting Andy. He had gone to Orlando with Andy and Trevor to get them all settled in.

"How did you do it, Colby?" Andy asked.

"You just do," Colby replied. "You just do what you came out here to do. It was that way when I was FCW. But once I was on the main roster and traveling around I missed my ex-fiancée like you miss Evie now. It is going to be that way. But you won't go without talking to her. I know she'll be texting you nonstop and everything. But give it a shot with being out here. Try to focus. I know you can do it. And I'll get Evie out here as much as I can to see you."

"Thanks, Colby."

"No problem."

Colby gave Andy a hug as he would his own son.

Back in Moline, though, Evelyn was upset. Mercedes offered as comfort to her daughter as she could. Evelyn was truly upset and it was the strongest she had ever been in her eighteen years.

"It'll be all right, sweetheart," Mercedes said. "You'll be okay and he'll be okay. Your dad is going to make sure of that. As well as Uncle Fergal and Aunt Becky. And we'll get you out to Orlando as much as we can."

"I know," Evelyn replied. "But just knowing I won't see him for a while sucks."

"I know that myself. Baby, I was the way Andy is right now. I was upset to leave people behind in Boston to go to Tampa and then to Orlando once the Performance Center was open. Every single person that has come through the Performance Center has left people behind one way or another.

"Andy loves you very much. You are his biggest supporter and have helped him in some way get to where he is to becoming a WWE Superstar. Or at least an NXT Superstar. But Andy loves you for you and not because Seth Rollins is your father. Yes, he was first interested in you for being our daughter. But he saw there was more to you than just being Seth Rollins's daughter. You are Evelyn Lopez. A girl who loved to sing and wanted to be in color guard when she got into high school.

"You two have an interest in music. That's one thing you have in common other than wrestling. You just got to find things to focus on day by day. You have to take one day at time. And before you know it you'll be seeing him."

"It might not be until Thanksgiving when I can see him," Evelyn said. "I'll have school and march band stuff."

"Well, it won't be too hard to write a note to get you excused one Friday to get away for the weekend and miss that following Monday of school as well. You'll have a four-day weekend in Orlando with Andy. We'll figure out a weekend to do it later. We might go with October.

"You just work hard in school by keeping those grades up and giving a great performance for marching band. You are the captain after all. But impress your coach and band director, so you can sneak away just for a weekend."

"It's not hard with the coach and band director, Mom. And I am excited for my senior year. I can't wait to experience everything with Mona, Liza, and the rest of my friends. Plus, I want to get into colleges. I really want to get into University of Central Florida to be out in Orlando."

"I know, baby. Your dad and I will do what we can on our end if there is anything we can do."

"Thanks, Mom," Evelyn said, hugging her.

"You're welcome, sweetie," Mercedes replied.

"Evie?" A voice asked.

Mercedes and Evelyn looked over into the doorway of Evelyn's bedroom. Valerie stood in the doorway.

"Are you still sad about Andy leaving?" Valerie asked.

"Not so much anymore," Evelyn said. She got up from her bed and scooped her baby sister into her arms. "Mom and I had a nice talk and she helped me not to be so upset. But you want to know something else?"

"What?"

"You make everyone so much better too!"

"I do?!"

"Yes, you do," Mercedes said, getting up from the bed. "You brighten up everyone's day, baby girl. And you'll brighten up Daddy's day the moment he gets home for Orlando."

"When will that be?"

"Just a few days," Evelyn commented.

"When can we go to Disney again, Mommy?"

"Soon, baby," Mercedes laughed.

"How about we play dress up?" Evelyn suggested.

"Yeah!" Valerie squealed.

"Okay, you go grab stuff from your room and come back in here. And we'll dress up and I'll put a little makeup on you. The usual."

"Yay!"

"Go," Evelyn said, placing her baby sister down on her feet.

Valerie quickly ran from the room.

"See it'll be all right, Evie," Mercedes said.

Evelyn nodded her head at her mom. "Yes, I'll focus on stuff here. Then we talk to Andy I can tell him everything going on here and he can tell me everything going on there. I know I'll be hearing a lot of great stories."

"Oh, you will. Training and everything can be grueling. But it is worth it in the end. I always talked to my mom at the end of the day and that helped me. I'm sure Andy will be talking to you a lot at the end of the day. Now have fun with your little sister."

"I will."

Mercedes smiled. She gave Evelyn a quick kiss on the cheek and left the room. Valerie quickly came running back into the room.
