Ken's match was one of the first of the night, so now an hour later, Madison sat on the couch in Kevin's locker room, as he got ready for his match. Madison stood silently, walking to the door, just grasping the door knob before Kevin spoke "Where are you going May-May?" Madison stopped, glaring over to Kevin "I'm going for a walk." Kevin eyed her suspiciously when Madison spoke angrily "Get over it Bubba! I'm sure Ken has moved on, can I just go get some air?" The anger towards Kevin still apparent in her voice, as he spoke sternly "Do me a favor and lose the attitude on that walk too?" Madison rolled her eyes as she stormed out of the locker room.
Madison didn't know where she was going, but she had to get away from Kevin. She walked through the hallways, making her way towards the gym. Walking into the dark gym, as she hit the light switch, the small gym quickly illuminating. Memories flooded her brain, this was the first place she actually met Ken. Sighing, Madison climbed onto the bench, laying down. Resting her head on her hands as she laid back, her mind processing all the events in her life, more specifically the recent ones involving Ken. She sat that way for awhile, just thinking, the sound of the door to the gym opening, shook her from her thoughts, as she sat up, looking at the man who just walked into the gym.
There in the doorway of the gym stood Ken, a slight smile on his lips as he reached and took out his ipod earbuds. Madison sat still, she knew she should leave, but a big part of her missed Kin, and that was the part keeping her there. Ken walked into the gym, sitting at a machine across from Madison, silence filled the gym, as Ken began lifting the weights on the machine, Madison nervously fidgeting with her fingers. Finally, Madison spoke, breaking the awkward silence, noticing the bruise on his shoulder "Is your shoulder ok? I saw the hit you took from Abyss last week." Ken smiled, before letting the weights drop back onto the machine "You saw my match?" he asked, smiling. Madison blushed "Yeah, you looked good out there." She spoke, avoiding all eye contact with Ken, as she looked down at the ground. An awkward silence filling the room momentarily before Ken spoke frankly "I miss you." Madison looking up from the ground, her eyes meeting his, as the smile on his face grew wider, before continuing "I miss you. Everything about you. I miss spending time with you, I miss being around you…I just…I miss you." He spoke honestly, running his hand over his face. Madison didn't know what to say, her eyes never leaving his, her mind racing through what just happened, she knew she missed him, but here he was telling her how much he missed her?
Silence once again filled the room, Ken starring into Madison's eyes, when he spoke suddenly "Guess I should get out of here, before your brother comes down here and kills me for being so close to you." he said sarcastically, standing and heading to the door. Ken just got to the door when Madison spoke "I miss you too." Ken stopping in his tracks, turning to look back to Madison, her eyes immediately connecting with his, her shaky voice continuing "I miss you so much. When I saw you on TV, I thought about what it would have been like to experience that with you. I miss talking with you, your sarcastic remarks that always make me laugh…" she began to ramble "Hell, I even miss your ego and cocky replies to everything I say. Dammit, I miss you Ken."
She's never seen Ken Kennedy blush, but he turned a slight shade of pink during her ramble, as he walked back into the gym sitting next to her on the bench. Leaning forward resting his forearms on his knees, his head turned back looking at Madison as she leaned back on the bench, her hands holding her up, when Ken spoke "So what do we do about this?" Madison sighed as she answered "Nothing we can do I guess." Ken sitting up, leaning back on his hands, mocking Madison's position, when he spoke "We can NOT listen to Kevin." Ken spoke, emphasizing the last part. Madison looked skeptic as she spoke "Yeah cause that worked so good last time." Ken chuckled before speaking "I'm serious. He's just your brother, not the law of the land for Christ's Sake." Madison spoke honestly "I don't know, he got really mad…" Ken standing up, the frustration on his face as he spoke 'You're gonna just give up on us, cause of Kevin?" Madison stayed silent as Ken continued "You're a grown woman Madison! He can't control you!" Ken finished exasperatedly. Madison finally spoke softly, " I know…" glancing at her cell, seeing 1 new text from Kevin, asking where she was, Madison jumped to her feet "I gotta go!" hurrying out of the room, getting to the doorway when Ken called out to her "Madison?"
Looking back to Ken, when he spoke "I'm sorry for telling Kevin." Madison smirked slightly before responding "It's fine, no one should to keep their feelings secret." She spoke calmly, when Ken spoke "I'd be willing to, as long as those feelings were shared with you!" he spoke, a slight smile crossing his lips. Madison blushed when Ken finished "Just think about it ok?" Madison nodded, before leaving Ken in the gym, heading back to Kevin's locker room.
Walking in, closing the locker room door, hearing Kevin's voice boom through the room, as he yelled out from the shower area "May-May is that you?" Madison sighed, plopping down on the couch, as she yelled back "Yeah Bubba, I'm back" His voice coming back through the rooms "Where'd you go?" Madison rolling her eyes, yelling back "a walk Bubba. Geez, next time just follow me with a GPS." Madison scoffed, hearing Kevin laugh out loud in the shower area. Madison's mind thinking about what Ken spoke about, she didn't like disobeying her brother, he always seemed to know what was best for her, she missed Ken all the same. Her mind was confused, and she didn't know what the right answer was.
