Their eyes met and her breath caught in her throat.
Madison couldn't pull away. She wanted to turn her head, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. His eyes were full of hurt and surprise.
"Are you going to go talk to him?" Melina asked, taking a seat next to the small brunette, breaking her from her thoughts.
"No." Maddie shook her head, trying to distract herself by looking at Eve's photos again. She heard footsteps getting closer to her and she knew it was Evan. Before he could reach the table, Madison excused herself, claiming she needed to go to the bathroom. When Evan reached the table that the girls were sitting at, he sighed.
"She's avoiding you."
"No, she's running away." Evan almost scowled. The girls looked at each other confused, but let it go when Evan walked away from the table.

Madison quickened her pace when she walked out of catering. Sweat building up on her forehead from being so nervous. That had been too close. She turned a few corners and burst into Jake's locker room.
"He's here." she whispered and he nodded. Slowly Maddie walked over to the bench as Jake walked over to the door, locking it before walking back over to the small girl.
"I know. I saw him."
"He called it off. He didn't go through with it."
"I've realised." Jake said coldly.
"What's the matter, Jake?" Maddie asked, turning her head to the tall blond.
"I shouldn't have brought you here. I shoulda known he woulda called it off. Its what he does."
"Jake, that's what I do." she reminded him of her running away lifestyle.
"Evan wasn't even one hundred percent sure about getting hitched in the first place. I shoulda known as soon as you showed up it'd be called off."
"Don't blame yourself. I should be working. Not hanging out here. It's as much my fault for saying yes." Madison tried to get him to stop blaming himself. But stopped when he shrugged, it obviously wasn't working.

After Raw, back at the hotel, Evan and Taryn were talking. Taryn had come to visit him because ECW and Smackdown weren't too far from each other.
"It is going to happen, right? I know you said it would. But I really need to know when." Taryn said to her fiancé, who smiled lightly.
"It's going to happen Taryn. I promise. I'm not sure when. But it is going to happen. I don't know when, I don't know where. But it will." he put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him. Taryn sighed, obviously not happy with his answer. What she wanted, was for him to say that they would be getting married tomorrow. She knew she wasn't going to get that answer, but that would have helped her sleep.

Maddie couldn't take it. She couldn't stand being in the same hotel as Evan, so she took the Red-eye home. She slept the majority of the flight, dreaming of Evan the whole time. Until it turned into a nightmare where Evan and her never spoke again. Evan got married to Taryn, and Madison didn't know why, but she got married to Jake. That part confused her the most, but she let it go. She wanted nothing but to forget about it, about everything.
She stepped off the plane, and through security to collect her luggage and get back home. It was early morning, and she just wanted to get some proper rest. But as soon as she stepped into her house she began to cry. She missed him. Never, in her whole life, had she missed someone so much. So, that's a lie, she missed her father even never having met him. But this came very close. Throwing some clothes into a backpack, she exited her house again. Quickly she got in her car and drove to her former best friends house.
Fumbling with the keys, Madison opened the door to Evan Bourne's home. She breathed in the familiar smell, and smiled. This was home. She slipped off her shoes, and took off her jacket, hanging it over the couch as she got further into the house. With a quick look around, shaking her head at the mess, Maddie walked towards Evan's bedroom. She knew he wasn't there, she knew he wasn't going to be back for a couple of weeks. She would be gone the next day. For now, she just wanted to spend the night in his room. Where she felt safe, where she felt she belonged.
