AN: Hey everyone thanks for reviewing my stories; I appreciate every review
I got. I'm sooooooooooooo sorry this took so long to update but it's been a
crazy couple of weeks but I'm finally able to get back on my computer and
write and (sigh) it feels good. Anyway I hope you like this next chapter.
Chapter three is almost done, I'll update faster this time, promise (.
(PS I don't own anything, I think I've made that clear (; but I used 'Again' by Lenny Kravitz in both stories and I know that song wasn't even out back then but thanks for pretending. That's all, enjoy.)
Chapter Two
Reminiscing
"Amy?" Matt asked disbelieving. She smiled nervously at him and nodded her head. In an instant Matt and Jeff were out of their seats; Matt crushing Amy to him as she laughed, throwing her arms around him. When Matt finally released her Jeff was next. "I can't believe it.it's been so long." He said when he let go of her. "You guys know each other?" Chris asked. "Yeah, we met about." Amy paused to think for a minute. "Eight years ago." She finished. Cindy smacked her arm causing Amy to break eye contact with Matt. "Ow, what was that for?" she asked rubbing her arm. "You never told me that. No wonder you're so obsessed with wrestling." Cindy replied as Amy glared at her. "Oh, sorry, I uh. I mean. So how'd you guys meet?" she asked trying to change the subject. Amy glanced back at Matt and Jeff as Cindy pulled her down to sit. "My family moved to North Carolina for the summer when I was fifteen. I moved in next door to them. The first day we met, Matt almost broke my arm." Amy replied teasingly with a small smile on her face. "Hey, you ran into me, said so yourself, remember?" he teased back, chuckling. "I just said that so my brother didn't kill you." Amy replied. "Right." Matt said laughingly.
Except for Jeff, who laughed along with them, the rest of the table looked totally lost. "So, you live here now?" he asked and Amy turned to him, nodding. "Yeah, for a while." She replied. "What have you been up to?" Matt asked. "Oh.not much. Went to Mexico about a month ago." She replied. "Yeah? See any wrestling matches?" Matt asked curiously. "Yeah tons. That was pretty much the reason I went down." She said as Cindy passed her another beer. Ignoring her earlier decision not to have another drink, Amy took a healthy swallow from the offered beer, finally feeling her still sore muscles ease a little. "So," Amy began, a wide smile spreading over her face. "I see you made it to the WWF. Like I always said you would." She said earning chuckles from both Matt and Jeff. "Yup, yup, was there any doubt?" Jeff asked mock-conceitedly and Amy laughed in response. "I seem to remember a few times."
The conversation went on like that for the next few hours. Often, the others would go off to do various things leaving Matt, Jeff and Amy to reminisce of the short time they had spent together that summer eight years ago. At one point, Jeff went off to the bathroom, leaving Matt and Amy to themselves and for the second time that night an uncomfortable silence passed over them. "So." Matt started lamely. "Why'd you stop writing?" Matt blurted out the question he had been wanting to ask all night. Amy looked surprised at first then her features softened and she looked down at her hands. "I.I didn't want to. When my mom broke up with Dave she didn't think it was 'Healthy' for me to keep writing to you. I stilled tried to, but she caught me every time. When your guys letters came, she. she burned them. I didn't even get a chance to read any." Amy said glaring angrily down at her hands at the memory.
Matt sat shocked at her reply. He had met her mother a few times that summer but he hadn't really gotten to know her. He reached over and took her hand in his and when she finally met his gaze her eye had softened again. "I'm sorry Matt." She said sadly. He gave he a reassuring smile and said, "It's alright Ames, you didn't have any control over it. I'm not mad, I never was". Amy smiled back up at him just as 'Again' by Lenny Kravitz came from the dance floor. Matt and Amy smiled at each other before Matt stood up and offered her his hand. She took it happily and he led them out onto the dance floor; passing Jeff on the way as he gave Matt a secret wink.
"How long are you guys in town for?" Amy asked Matt as he unconsciously pulled her closer. "We have to be in Bethesda tomorrow, Burke on Sunday and KY by Monday." Matt replied. Amy sighed in disappointment as she laid her head on his shoulder letting the music bring her back in time.
I've been searching for you
I heard a cry within my soul
I've never had a yearning quite like this before
Know that you are walking right through my door
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
"Déjà vu" Amy said smiling slightly against Matt's neck. "I missed you Ames." Matt replied as they swayed back and forth to the music. "I missed you too Matt. I'm sorry I stopped writing. I should have tried harder.." Amy trailed off as Matt shushed her gently. "It's okay Amy, we're here now, like I said we would be. together again." Matt smiled at her as she laughed softly. "Were you always this corny Mattie?" she teased lightly and he laughed in return.
A sacred gift of heaven
For better worse, wherever
And I would never let somebody break you down
Until you cried, never
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
At every time I've always known
That you where there, upon your throne
A lonely queen without her king
I longed for you, my love forever
"Do you want to come watch Smackdown tomorrow? You can come backstage with us and hang out in our locker room when we have our match." Matt asked hopefully. "That sounds awesome." Amy replied excitedly. Amy pulled back slightly to look him in the face again, pushing his hair back out of his eyes. She smiled up at him, shaking her head as he gave her a questioning look. "You haven't changed a bit Matthew Hardy." She paused as her smile widened. "I'm glad." She added hugging him closer to her again. He chuckled good naturedly as his arms tighten around her. "I was thinking the same thing about you, Kid."
All of my life
Where have you been

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
They reluctantly let each other go when the song ended and headed back to the table where Jeff and Benoit where in a heated argument over who would win in a match between Chyna and Xena. As they slipped back into their seats, Amy noticed Jason talking quite closely with a blonde at the bar. "I guess he got over me." Amy joked gesturing towards Jason. Matt turned to look at his friend and laughed along with Amy. "Yeah, he bounces back pretty quick I guess.." He trailed off as a thought struck him.
"Hey Amy? If Jay told you we were here, why didn't you come over right away?" Matt asked curiously. "I was going to. Then I thought about it and. I don't know, wouldn't it be kind of weird if I did? I was afraid you'd think I just came over cuz your famous now and everything and. I don't know. Now I sound kinda dumb." Amy replied a little lamely and Matt laughed. "No, I understand. I think." he said, making her laugh too.
Just then Cindy and Chris came back to the table, both swaying slightly. "You ready to go?" Cindy asked, her words slurring together and Amy felt her throat tighten up. "Now?" she asked looking over to Matt and Jeff and seeing the same expression of dread on their faces. "Yeah, I have to be at work early tomorrow, remember?" Cindy replied. "Yeah, I remember. Give me a minute though, okay?" she asked and Cindy nodded as Chris and Benoit followed her away from the table, leaving Matt, Jeff and Amy alone.
"So I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow then." Amy said after a minute, not really knowing what to say. "Yeah, uh, here's my cell phone number." Matt said writing it on a napkin. Amy took it from his hands and stared at it for a second before smiling back up at them. "We have to be at the arena around three, so. you can call and we'll pick you up if you want to." He added and she nodded. "What time do you want me to call?" she asked her hazel eyes looking from Matt to Jeff and back. "Well, call around twelve if you want to come get something to eat before hand, or just call at like two." Jeff replied as Cindy called for Amy to hurry. "Okay." She said simply and hugged Jeff. "See you guys." She added as she stepped over to hug Matt, lingering a little longer. "Bye Lita" Jeff called when she was half way to the door. Amy chuckled and waved before joining Cindy.
