CHAPTER 31
**************************************************************************** ****************
~*ThE nExT cOuPlE oF wEeKs*~
Over the next couple of weeks, Amy had been meeting up with Joey casually. She found herself really enjoying spending time with him. They went out to movies, dinner and walks. He gave her small presents when picking her up, a flower or two, or candy. They were all really cute, sweet gestures that Amy couldn't help but wait for the next date to see what she got next, or what he was up to.
Amy had found herself smiling a lot more over the couple of weeks spent with Joey. Something about him...made her start to feel again inside. She didn't know what it was, but around him...she started to feel more and more like herself again. Time would only tell how deep this was really going to go.
Matt on the other hand, over the next couple of weeks, had started doubting the ease of making her fall in love with him. Things seemed far fetched and complex, even for him. He seemed lost and constantly wandering about. His friendly charm started to rub off as he isolated himself from everyone once again. Day by day, he started to drift farther and farther apart. Not only from work and his friends, but from himself. He no longer knew what to do or where to go.
He looked at the calendar hanging on the wall and saw that it was now almost 2 months since they broke up, and nothing seemed the same. He didn't even think he could go a day without her in his life, now he had gone 2 months.
The thought itself frightened Matt as he reflected on how hard those 2 months had been. He hadn't seen her once during that time frame, and he started to think he forgot things he promised he wouldn't forget. Her smile, her laugh. It was all like an empty echo ringing through his head, all slightly fuzzy.
The hunt for him to win back her heart looked inevitable, given time. But how could that be, if Matt himself didn't even see it anymore? He didn't want to sulk in his own tears day in and day out anymore. The aspect of waiting around *hoping* that one day she'll see how much she meant to him, seemed too unrealistic. He didn't want to be a failure, but he didn't want to try anymore. He had to face reality, she was gone.
G-O-N-E.
Gone.
**************************************************************************** ****************
"Matt, you sure you don't want to come out tonight?" John [Cena] asked as he knocked on the door, pressing his ear up against the door for an answer. John looked at the other men waiting in the hall, Eddie [Guerrero], Chris, Adam and Jay. "Matt?" He heard shuffling before Matt opened the door groggily.
"Where you guys going?" Matt asked scratching the back of his head.
The other men looked at each other slowly. They usually went to ask Matt knowing full well he'd say no. But this time was different.
"Well?" He asked impatiently.
"Uh, we going bowling homes." Eddie replied.
"Yeah, beer, pizza. The usual Hardy. You up for it?" Jay asked fixing the collar on his leather jacket.
"Sure." Matt said grabbing his zip-up navy blue and white sweater. He locked his door as he headed to the elevators the other men slowly following behind.
"What's going on?" John whispered to Chris. "Thought you said he never comes."
"He doesn't. I don't know what's going on." Chris whispered back.
They got into two rental cars as they drove down the streets of Florida where Adam and Jay resided.
~*~*~
The guys drank and ate while talking about mindless guy stuff. Sports, cars, music, etc. Matt actually got into the conversations without missing a beat. Whether or not he was faking it was another question.
"So...how's things?" Chris asked Matt as the other guys engulfed into another conversation about football.
"Great. Why?" Matt asked taking another slice of pizza.
"Well, y'know..." Chris said shrugging his shoulders.
"Yeah, I'm fine man. No worries." Matt responded casually.
Shrugging it off, Chris joined the rest of the guys in their conversation alongside Matt.
The night progressed nicely as all the men got along, catching up on old times. It was guy's night out, and couldn't have gone better.
Walking through the doors, Adam looked up and frowned when he recognized who it was.
"Oh, hey Adam!" The tall man yelled as he approached the group of wrestlers with his own group of friends.
"Shit, we gotta get out of here." Adam mumbled to John.
John looked confused.
"Yeah, sorry man. We were just leaving." Adam said 'sadly' as he got up and grabbed his jacket.
John went along, soon after the rest of the guys followed, except for Matt.
"Since when were we leaving?" Matt asked confused.
He didn't want to go back just yet. He was just starting to enjoy himself, for the first time in weeks.
"Well...uh..." Adam started.
"We have to get up early tomorrow. If we don't, we won't be able to use the gym." John finished quickly.
"We can still go." Matt protested. "Now sit your asses back down." Matt joked and the other men followed.
"Hey, yeah, well I don't think we've met." The man greeted offering his hand.
"Hey, I'm Matt."
"Hey, I'm Joey."
