Sorry it's been so long! Here are a few chapters to make up for it. Review please!!!
~About an hour Later~
"So, now we should probably get you two to the gym and introduce you to everyone."
"Lead the way." Rebecca said enthusiastically.
"As far as I've been told, there are a few people who are just meeting us at the first taping, but everyone else should be here." Matt said, pushing open the door to the gym.
"Oh," Rebecca started.
"My," Devin continued.
"God!" They finished, their eyes falling on someone neither girl thought they'd ever see again.
Devin immediately turned to her friend, hoping to get her out of the gym before she broke down.
"What is he doing here?" Rebecca asked helplessly. "He shouldn't be here!"
"Shh. It's alright." Devin soothed, rubbing circles on Rebecca's back. "Is there somewhere we can go, Matt?" She asked desperately.
"Yeah. Uh this- this way." He said, leading them back to his locker room. "I, uh. I don't mean to pry or anything, but who is she talking about?" Matt asked, not really expecting an answer.
"Her ex. He nearly killed her, but did absolutely no jail time for it." Devin explained, seeing Rebecca's face blanch completely.
"Who- who would do that?" He demanded, slipping over his words in his shock.
"Mark Calaway."
Matt blinked several times, trying to process what he'd been told.
He knew Mark plenty, and he always seemed like a decent enough guy. Certainly not someone who would try to hurt anyone else.
"Wh...you wanna roll that by me again?" he asked.
Devin looked at him, trying to tell him with her eyes that she'd talk to him later when Rebecca wasn't in pieces in front of them.
Matt nodded, sitting next to Rebecca and laying his arm over her shoulder in an attempt to console her.
It was all she could do to not become a hyper-ventilating mess. She tried to hold on to her composure, but she could feel it slipping.
"Devin," she pleaded in a whisper, "I need to get out of here."
She nodded, helping Rebecca up from the chair.
"Matt, would you please let Mr. Long know that Rebecca got sick and I took her back to the hotel? We'll be back tomorrow once she's been through some serious preparations."
He nodded, not knowing what to say.
Devin led Rebecca out of the building and to their car to take her back to the hotel.
