It had been two weeks since the night Matt's mind was flooded with thoughts of his past. He hadn't thought about it, or her, much since then.
He was hanging out at Jeff's with he and Shane. It was one of those lucky times when the Raw and Smackdown schedules meshed with one another and so they were all finally getting to spend time with one another. It was early afternoon and The three were hanging out deciding what they were going to do with their evening when Shannon came busting through Jeff's front door.
"What the hell Shan?" Shane asked confused as to why he entered in the way he did.
Shannon sat down on the couch next to Jeff avoiding Matt's glance "I ran into Amy earlier"
Matt's head shot up, peaked in interest at what his friend had to say.
"Yeah, what did she want?" questioned Jeff.
Jeff was the one who took what Amy did the worst, after Matt of course. Its not that they still weren't 'friends', because after all Matt even spoke to her from time to time, but he felt just as betrayed as his brother. Amy was his best friend, and she let them all down. He just couldn't forgive her.
"I guess she's playing a show tonight at a club in Raleigh. " replied Shannon " She told me about it, and said to bring friends" Shannon paused and chuckled "…and that's you"
"No." Said Jeff as he stood up to head to his kitchen, trying to blow off the situation.
"Why not man, itll be fun" Shane spoke up from the spot his was laying in on the floor, he was always up for going out.
Jeff turned around, his eyes fixed on Matt, trying to send a signal to the other two. Matt then noticed what his brother was doing, and began to laugh.
"Come on Jeff, its been two years….she and I have worked together since then, we're still friends." Matt said, partly trying to convince himself that have was 100 okay with seeing her right now.
Jeff slowly nodded his head thinking about what his brother had to say "We'll all right then" he said pausing…if his brother could do it, then he could too "Besides itll be cool to hear her music live"
"Yeah " Shannon nodded "So its settled we're going?"
Everyone nodded their head and agreed.
"Cool, their set starts at seven, so uhh we should probably leave in a few hours"
The four discussed their evenings plans and their upcoming matches at wrestle mania for a little while until Matt got up from his spot on the couch.
"Ehh guys, Im going to go get ready, I'll meet you all back here in about an hour or so?" Matt told them all before heading over to his house.
Once inside his house he quickly got ready to jump in the shower.
His mind then began to race. He didn't understand how he could be excited and nervous about seeing someone that he was still incredibly angry with. Its just one of those situations that sticks with you for life. You could get over it and move on…but it is something that you never forget.
He could never forget.
Still he was excited to see her. Amy always had so much passion, and he really couldn't wait to see her performing on stage. Though she has always been happy wrestling, music was something she had wanted to do for a long time, and Matt was excited to finally see her get her shot.
He really hadn't talked to her in a couple weeks however, seeing as they were both very busy in the past few weeks He hadn't seen her in even longer, it had been about a month or so.
The situation was all so awkward. Matt wanted to make it work, at this point in his life, he figured that they should be friends. Even though he was upset about what she did to him, he didn't want to throw away everything.
It was just so hard being friends with someone, when you had the relationship that the two of them shared.
Once out of the shower with a towel around his waste, Matt walked his dripping body into his room where he picked out his outfit.
He wanted to look good, part of him still wanted her to see what she was missing out on. After much debate he put on a black button down shirt with dark jeans. He walked over to the mirror on the back of his door and put his hair in a tight ponytail, his usual routine on the back of his head. He decided to wear a grey skull cap. Touching his beard he made sure his face was shaved in just the right manner, as he grinned at himself in the mirror.
Once the four reached the club Shane and Jeff waited up by the stage, the two always eager for a good show. Shannon went his own way to linger in the crowd, finally settling into an area where a group of young girls were. Matt chuckled to himself at the sight of this.
As the members of the band, minus Amy, started to pile onto the stage Matt walked over and took a seat at the bar. Moments after there she was.
As much as Matt wanted to hate her, he couldn't help but grin at the sight of her. She was so in her element, and Matt saw a fire in her eyes that he hadn't seen in a long time. The crowd really seemed to be into her too. He didn't want to admit it…but he was really happy for her, proud as well.
About an hour later their set ended, Matt stood up to cheer for her, after all it was the respectable thing to do. Shane came running over to him to inform him that Shannon had met a girl and wanted to stay a little while longer. Matt decided to wait it out by the bar. He wasn't in the mood to meet some random bar girl tonight, so he decided to sit and enjoy a few beers while everyone else hung out.
"Matt hey!" Amy stated a huge grin on her face from the crowds feedback.
Matt was caught off guard "Hey" he said, taken back as Amy took a seat next to him at the bar.
"Howd you like the show?" She questioned. In the seconds weighting for his answer Amy took a good look at her former boyfriend, for the first time since it all happened. She too was trying to rebuild the friendship, but it was a battle with Matt. She knew him better than anyone and expected the roller coaster of emotions that he would show towards her. One day he would be kind, sweet and friendly, like he was making an actual attempt to make things civil between the two of them, and the next it seemed like he was finding out about the affair all over again. Deep down, she didn't blame him for how he felt.
"It was good" Matt replied genuinely, nudging her on the shoulder.
Matt opinion meant a lot of Amy even still to this day, he always told it how it was and was hard to impress. "Really?" she questioned , laughing she continued"You can be honest with me, you know that"
Matt shot her a grin "Yeah really, I like how intimate you are with the crowd"
"Thanks, and hey!, big Wrestlemania match coming up right? I think a few of the guys in the band and I are going to go"
"Yeah" Matt's eyes lit up, like they always did when anyone asked about wrestling, he took a sip of his beer and then turned his attention back to the redhead next to him "I'm really excited about it. I've been really annoyed through the way I was brought back, I mean I don't know, I though I would have a lot more going on, know what I mean?" Amy nodded and Matt continued " I just hope this is my chance, Vince hasn't even told us who is going to win yet"
"Yeah it's a big deal, I remember when they had Adam win-" Amy stopped and noticed Matt's boyish grin disappear, realizing what she had just done she quickly tried to fix it "It's a huge deal though, and the winner usually does win the championship…you've been working so hard all these years…Vince needs to throw you a bone"
"Tell me about it" Matt agreed rolling his eyes
Time flew as the two caught up on each other's lives…..
"….Shane was so drunk he started hitting on Jeff from behind" The two laughed as Matt finished one of his stories.
"This was really good Matt, Im glad we got to talk like this." Amy said sending him a smile.
Matt felt a sense of relief, glad that they had spent all this time together, proving that things could at least be semi normal "Yeah me too I-"
Before Matt could finish, a drunkin Jeff came over "What are you doing talking to her?" he questioned Matt as if Amy wasn't sitting right there
Matt shot him a look but Jeff kept on going " fucking whore" he mumbled.
At this point Amy stood up and threw her drink in Jeff's face. Matt couldn't believe what had just taken place in front of him, as Amy stormed off.
"Jeff what the hell what that?"
"I was putting her in her place" Jeff slurred.
Matt shook his head, he thought he was finally making progress with making things normal again, trying to forget what happened, when Jeff went and screwed things up. He grabbed Jeff by the arm and rounded up the others and left.
They would definitely have a lot to talk about the next day.
