The next morning Matt was making his bed, already dressed, as Amy awoke. She squinted her eyes adjusting to the light now filling the room, before stepping off the couch. "Mmm, how long you been up?" she asked while stretching.

" ' bout and hour" he responded " I didn't want to wake you, I feel bad enough you have to put up with me for a two hour drive" he chuckled.

"Its no problem" He sent her a look "Really its not" she laughed.

Matt looked at her, and pointed to his gym shorts hanging from her hips "Nice look" he joked.

"Shut up" she swatted him on the arm "That nose looks really cute Hardy"

"Hey!" Matt exclaimed

"Two could play at this game" Amy chuckled.

Matt shook his head jokingly as he packed his bag. Things were going better than he thought they would, he was still of course, really angry about what happened at Wrestlemania, but he couldn't do anything about that now, not until he was able to go back to work.

As the two begin driving back to North Carolina they decided to pick out some music to listen to.

"Just like old times" Matt said as he shoved a Pearl Jam cd into Amy's cd player.

She smiled at him as 'Nothing Man' began to play over her speakers "You know I havent listened to them in such a long time…truth be told its been kind of hard to, they always remind me of you" she said with a small smile.

"Ill take that as a complement" Matt replied.

The two had been on the road for a while and tensions were low. Matt was surprised by this, yet pleased at the same time…this was after all how he wanted thing to be…normal.

As the two listened in silence for sometime, Amy found herself curious, as Matt was never silent for too long. She glanced over at the passenger seat of her car. She shook her head and smiled, she couldn't believe he was asleep. Moments later she heard a slight beeping from inside her car, she knew it was Matt's cell.

Reaching around the cup holder where she had last saw it, she picked it up, it read :Ashley.

A pang of jealously went running through her. Matt dated Ashley about a year after the two had broken up, and while Amy thought she was a pretty cool person, it didn't matter. It was still a girl that Matt had been with that wasnt her. She felt like a young stupid girl in highschool who held grudges over her ex's latest lovers.

She looked at Matt slumped over asleep in the seat next to her, his head against the glass of the car window. Something had been coming over her over the past day or so. She didn't know what it was, but she really missed being with him, just moments like this that always seem to matter the most. The comfortable moments when it was just the two of them, driving home or to the next city or arena, always just made her feel close to the man that she had loved.

The end to their relationship, while it was ultimately her own actions that caused it, still didn't feel right to her. It was like no other she had ever been involved with.

It was like the last few pages were torn out of her favorite book, the story ending abruptly, which you never knowing how it was actually supposed to all finish up.

She never had to end things with a man that she still was in love with.

As he began to stir from his spot she shook herself from her own thoughts.

"Hey, Ashely called" she said while knudging him in the arm.

He picked up his phone, while rubbing his eyes with his free hand. "Yeah, what did she say?

"Oh, I didnt answer it" Amy replied, shaking her head.

He nodded his own as well as he called her back. "Hey what's up bunny?" He asked while laughing.

Amy smirked Matt was just as cheesy as ever - making a joke about Ashley's posing for Playboy magzine.

"Eh, Im okay…IM on my way back home" Matt paused "…yeah Amy is giving me a ride back….yeah that's the one….No, No its fine, really, don't worry…seriously" He stressed. Amy was now growing more and more annoying by the second, as the conversation was obviously cedntered around her. "Yeahh I do feel better, thanks!…Ill give you a call in a few days"

"Shes a cool girl " matt stated while hanging up the phone.

Amy grunted as she kept her eyes on the road.

Matt stared at her waiting a few seconds for her to say something, finally he gave up "Something up?"

"No" Amy replued

"Come on" he chuckled "I know you better than that red"

"She annoys me" Amy replied flatly, and Matt eyed her like she was crazy.

"How could she annoyed you?" He laughed, making light of the situation "She's never bothered you"

"I don't know, shes just--honestly, I think theyre trying to play her off as a watered down version of Lita, shes all "punk"", she emphasized that with finger quotes. "The only difference between she and I is that the bimbo posed for playboy "

At hearing this Matt wipped his head at her " Bimbo!?" Matt yelled "She never cheated on me"

That was a low blow.

Amy, angered that he would bring this up, shook her head and slammed her fists into the stearing wheel "Dammit Matt" she mumbled.

He looked at her for a second and then placed his glace back on the road.

The two road in silence for a good hour or so.

Matt finally broke this "So how's the band going?"

She looked at him and then back at the highway stretched out in front of her "Good" she simply replied.

Matt was now willing to try anything, seeing as she wasn't going to talk openly. "You know I always respected you"

Amy looked at him confused though her guard wasn't down yet "Matt…what??"

He cut her off "For not posing for playtboy" Matt remembered the countless amounts of times they had contacted the redhead "Plus, I didn't want my girlfriend in playboy"

Amy was about to say something but Matt continued "I know Ashley did it and she and I were still dating when she agreed to it, but lets face it I know there wasn't a future there"

Amy smiled at this, afterall it was what she had been waiting to hear since Ashley had been first brought up.

Amy nodded her head, showing that she got what he meant "The cds should be out this summer" she said…she was now ready to speak with them, so she turned things back to their pervious topic.

Silently as the two conversed, she wondered if things would ever be the same as they yes to be.
