Chapter 33
It was Sunday again and time for another Sunday Night Heat to commence. I wasn't involved with the show, but would be on the Monday following it. I had gone through countless practices and a dress-rehearsal, but I was still on the nervous side. I didn't have to do any speaking or anything, just walk down the ramp and act my part. These thoughts ran through my mind as I sat backstage in the dressing room, watching pre-match rituals.
"Maria, we're heading down to the ramp, are you coming?" Matt asked from his position in front of the mirror where he was pouring water over himself.
"Maria?" He asked again when I did not respond..
"Huh?" I asked, faintly hearing his voice in the background of my thoughts.
"Maria, come here, everything is going to be fine, don't worry about tomorrow night." Matt said, sensing what I was thinking about.
He came up and gave me a big wet hug. I laughed getting soaked.
"I know, I know, now, lets get out there shall we?" I asked, feeling a little better.
"Yeah lets go." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked to meet the others backstage.
Their entrance music started and match begun. I didn't watch the match, but headed back to the dressing room to relax in silence. Twenty minutes passed and the crew burst through the door, sweaty and exhausted.
"Maria, you didn't watch?" Was Matt's first question.
"No, sorry, I needed some quiet time to think about things." I replied, still upset about tomorrow nights events and the fact that a week later Matt would be kissing Amy.
"I understand, when I'm through changing, do you want to go talk?" He asked, still breathing quite heavily.
"Yeah that sounds good." I smiled.
"So, guys how'd it go?" I asked Amy and Jeff who were starting to peel their attire from their tired bodies.
"Good, the match went well." Jeff replied. Amy nodded.
I surveyed the situation. All three of them looked extremely tense and mad at each other.
"Did I miss something you all look upset?" I asked, studying their cross faces.
"No." They all bluntly replied. Amy, Jeff and Matt all headed in separate directions to change and I was left in the changing area alone again.
