Linda was sitting in her car at the parking lot of a Raw event. Raw had one more hour left until it ended and Linda knew she would have to make her presence known soon, especially to the one person that has been nothing but supportive of her. She was back where she had so many memories, not all good, but there were a few. She remembered buying out her contract like it was yesterday, just to come back to it. This time it was going to be different because she wanted it to be different. No more getting unnoticed, no more being stupid, no more being naïve, and most of all, no more being weak.

She finally found the strength to open her door and now she was in front of the backstage entrance. She was lucky no one was there, because she lost her courage of walking in. Was she really ready to come back to all this? She was snapped back to reality when the door was opened. She almost got hit if she didn't step back. Now there was no way she was going to be able to back out. Someone was going to see her, but who?

He was a little tired of being in the locker room and thought of leaving outside to get some fresh air. His head was hurting and he was anticipating the time Raw would end. He was about to open the door when he remembered that fans might be out there. He wasn't in a mood to add more to his headache. He poked his head out and saw someone who looked familiar. He seen her before but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Linda stood there looking into blue eyes. She watched him scrunch up his face trying to think of who she was. She did in fact change her look, she wasn't a blonde anymore, she was a brunette now. Her hair was now shorter and layered instead of her usual curls. She changed her whole attire. She didn't dress in her laid back clothes anymore; she now looked sophisticated, preppy, and independent. She wasn't surprised that he didn't recognize her; after all they weren't ever the best of friends. She figured that she would help him out and tell him who she was.

"Hey Shawn."

"Hey."

"I'm Linda, remember me?"

His memory seems to have come back after she said her name, "Yeah…Yeah, you were a diva here. Too bad you bought out your contract. The locker seemed dead after you left."

"Well, I'm here now."

"Are you becoming a diva again?"

"No, it's not like that. I'm done with that. That's in the past. I'm just here visiting."

"o0o…well it was nice to see you again."

"Yeah…right back at you."

Linda was walking away when Shawn's voice stopped her, "Your new look looks nice. I hope you can stay out of trouble."

She turned around and smiled. She waved goodbye and was on her way down the halls. She knew she might get caught for "breaking in" since she didn't have a backstage pass, but she had to be here. She stopped at a door and looked at the name plate. She stood outside his locker room door just staring at the name plate. It has been a year since they've seen each other. She wondered if he would be able to recognize her. She stood there wondering if she was ready to really go back to all this. Was she ready to face her past? She sighed and found the courage to knock on the door. The door opened and Linda held her breath.

She let her breath go, "Hey John."

John stood frozen at the door. He was in shock. He never ever thought that Linda would be back here. Sure they have talked on the phone sometimes, but he never thought that Linda would ever muster up enough courage to come to Raw especially with Randy here. He was glad to see her there, but what if she got hurt again?

Linda stood there. John's eyes gave away all the information she needed to answer the few questions she had running through her head. He did recognize her. After she changed her look and everything, he still knew it was her. You would always be able to recognize the person you love right?

John finally got over his shock and hugged her, "Hey, I missed you a lot."

"I missed you too. It feels weird to be back here. It seems like I left here 20 years ago. It all looks different now. Of course we're at a different arena, but the vibe is different."

"Well, everything changes, nothing stays the same."

"Yeah, you're probably right."

There was a small moment of silence before Linda said, "How is he?"

John was surprised, "The guy does the worst thing possible to you and didn't even chase after you remember? And here you are asking how he is?" There was a brief pause before he said, "Do you still love him?"

Linda looked down, "He did hurt me. You know I'll never be able to forget that. It's embedded into my head. You saw what I was about to do before I left." She let two tear drops fall and said, "You ask me if I still love him. My answer is that there is a piece of me that will always love him whether I want to or not. You can't choose the person you fall in love with. I just so happened to pick the wrong one."

John felt bad for her; she was a person who would always make a person think hard after what she says. He was left to think and so was Randy after John had taken Linda away. "He's been okay; he had a brief relationship with Stacy. He might have moved on and he might have not. The only way you'll know for sure is if you go and see him. But Linda, if you do, do it on your own time. Don't rush it. I'd hate to see you hurt again."

She turned and left but stopped at the door, "I'd hate to be hurt again."
