Disclaimer: I don't anything!

She heard the booming cheers and yells from her audience as they gave her a full encore.

Amy nodded her head with a smile as she spoke into her microphone "Thanks for coming! Glad you enjoyed it! Goodnight!"

It was another successful performance with her band and she couldn't have been any more satisfied with the feedback from the crowd. Although the club was rather small, she couldn't help but feel in her comfort zone. It was a completely different environment than being in front of thousands of people in an arena. It had calmed her nerves a bit knowing the majority of the crowd had the same interest with music. Most of them didn't even know that she was a former wrestler. Which for her, made it that much easier for her transition into a normal life.

She hadn't talked about the WWE since she left. While she felt that it was a chapter in her life that was unforgettable, she knew in her heart that it was something she could not do forever. Ever since the infamous storyline with her, Adam, and Matt her desire wasn't nearly as strong as used to be. Perhaps a little sad that most fans betrayed her and the constant name calling when they didn't even know the full story.

Interviewers tried to get her comments concerning the relationship with her and Adam. Each time she commented that she would not speak of her personal life ever again. Some interviewers were complete assholes about it some ignored it and continued with a different topic.

Adam and her were indeed close that it surprised her with how much they had in common with one another. When they finally did start dating after the incident she knew that it was not going to be easy at first with the constant lampooning against them both. It only got worse when they did make their relationship public on screen to the point where she had to talk to him about it.

He always understood and it comforted her that he cared for her so deeply. Telling her on the nights she wanted to cry that he was always going to be there for her. That he would never turn his back on something so important in his life.

She smiled at the memories as she packed up her remaining stuff into her duffel bag. The club becoming an eerie empty room as the smell of smoke and alcohol engulfed the air.

She wondered what Adam was doing now. She didn't find any interest in watching wrestling since she retired, so she hadn't paid attention too much of what Adam was up to these days. Although they had kept in touch mostly on the phone because of his constant schedule, it was a struggle to keep up with a relationship. She and Adam knew it, so they decided it was best if they stuck as friends.

"Yeah," she murmured to herself not realizing that one of her band mates began talking to her.

"Yo Ames, you got a phone call. Your cell phone was lying on the ground." He said as he handed it to her.

"Thanks," she replied before opening the small silver phone to realize to who was calling at this hour.

It was Adam.

Adam hesitated at first as he began to look at the numbers on the phone. Was it really the best idea to call her at this hour of the night? She could possibly be in bed and knowing her, she had a pretty deep temper when it came to her lack of sleep. Scratching his head he began to think up numerous conversation starters each one tackier than the last. He sighed as he raked his hands through his blonde hair and without really thinking he then pressed the speed dial contacting her number.

'Shit' he thought to himself.

He could hear the other line ringing and he felt the rapid thudding deep within his chest. His breaths becoming short and labored. He found it quite unusual for his sudden nervousness; "I've talked to Amy on the phone all the time." He murmured to himself. The phone continued to ring, the dial tone repeating itself more than once. He could hang up the phone right now if he could but his hand refused to move.

"Hello?" came the female voice.

Adam coughed, "Hey!" he said enthusiastically.

"Hey! What's going on?" Amy asked smiling as she twirled a finger through her hair.

"Nothing much, just… thought I'd give you a call."

Amy laughed, "You do know what time it is right?"

"Hope I didn't bother your sleep."

"Nonsense! I'm glad to hear you Adam, how you been?"

"Well I've been pretty good… Um, I've been busy." He lied.

"Cool, I'm sure you've been busy icing up some pain huh?" she joked and Adam laughed a little nervously.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. How's the band?"

"Actually we've just finished a little concert not too long ago. But we've been great. We've been traveling a lot, it's nothing like traveling with the WWE though. Compared to what we're doing – sleeping in cars, driving all night, eating tuna, I've realized that traveling with WWE was top notch!"

Adam chuckled, "Hey I'd say traveling like that is pretty awesome. I could probably handle it."

"Really now?"

"Yeah. I've done it before, I'm sure I can do it again." He replied. He knew he's been through a lot worse when he was training in the Indies before he made it into the WWE. He's told numerous horror stories with Amy during the time they were together. And Amy was always amazed with each spoken word.

"Oh man I would've been depressed if I traveled like you had back then."

"Don't worry, I was depressed and I had no life." Adam joked.

Amy laughed, as there was a pause of silence between the two, not knowing what she was supposed to say next she asked the only thing that popped into her mind.

"How is everyone?"

"They're good, I guess. I haven't really talked to them a whole lot lately."

Amy arched a brow at that. "Oh."

There was another long pause of silence before Adam decided to break it.

"Amy, I'm assuming you haven't been watching Smackdown as of late huh?" Adam asked.

She only laughed, "Okay I am guilty of this. I haven't really been able to sadly. I've been so busy."

"No it's okay, you haven't been really missing much anyways."

"What do you mean? You're top dog of the company now! Tell me what's been going Adam. I'd really like to catch up."

"Well I-"

"Did you win a championship?"

"No-"

"Won the Royal Rumble?"

"No but-"

"Oh let me guess. You and Christian reunited!"

"Listen-"

"Adam! Tell me what's going on-"

"I've retired, Amy."

Amy's eyes grew wide with surprise on the other line, an audible gasp escaping from her lips.

"What?"

"I'm done with wrestling. For good."

Amy grew worried, "But WWE was your life."

"It was but I felt that it was just my time to move on with other things."

"Adam I-"

"Amy don't feel sorry for me. I've made my decision and I think it's the smartest thing I've made since then. I've accomplished a lot and I'm pretty happy with what I had. There are so many other guys that haven't had their chance yet. I was lucky enough to have mine when I was still young. Besides, there's a part of my life that I haven't experienced quite yet and I want to be able to experience it when I still have my time."

Amy only smiled at his answer and it warmed her heart hearing it, the familiar relation to the feeling was clear to her.

"I understand what you mean. So what have you been doing and what are you going to do next?"

Adam only smiled.

"Which is the reason why I called. Amy, when and where is your next show?"
