Eternity (AEW)

Chapter Two

"Sawyer, Nova, wake up!" Veronica whispered, trying to shake her friends awake. "Mmm, five more minutes," Sawyer mumbled, almost inaudibly. "C'mon! We're here!" Nova cracked her eyes open, looking out the window of the plane, admiring the sunrise. Veronica finally managed to shake Sawyer fully awake, getting a low groan in return.

Sawyer looked out the window, hiding a mesmerized expression with a snarky comment, "I cannot believe you guys just woke me up to look at the sunrise." Veronica rolled her eyes at her friend's sarcastic response, turning to look out the window the rest of the flight. "Did you stay up all night?" Nova asked, stretching out the places she could. "No, I was asleep until about 5, then woke up because of the butterflies in my stomach," Veronica replied, smiling right after it. Sawyer turned to look at her, "The flight attendant gave you coffee didn't she?"

Veronica reached to hide the coffee cup that was given to her, "No, not at all."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now landing in Jacksonville, Florida."

Sawyer, Nova, and Veronica all got up and stretched their legs. They picked up their belongings and made their way out of the plane, meeting up with Warhorse in the lobby. "Are you ready for your big night?" Veronica asked. Sawyer was still half asleep so she walked slower than the rest of the group. "I got it all under control, but you guys have to do good- or you could never get a call from Tony Khan again." "Well, thanks for the support, Jake," Nova said with a bit of sarcasm. "Don't worry you guys got this," Jake assured them. They all waited for their uber, so they could get dropped off at their hotel near Daily's Place.

"This bathroom is bigger than my apartment," Veronica said as she admired the fancy room they were staying in. "These small shampoo bottles are going to only cover an inch of my hair - I'm going to the front desk to see if they got any more," Sawyer complained, as she closed the hotel door and made her way into the elevator.

She pushed the first-floor button, and as the doors opened she was met with a muscular friend. "Sawyer? Is that you?" Wardlow asked, as he almost dropped the bottle of water he was holding. He just got done working out and was making his way back to his room. "Huh? OH- Hey...Michael." Sawyer awkwardly shuffled around him, trying to avoid his stare. "I haven't seen you in a while. Do you maybe want to go get lunch-" but the elevator doors closed cutting him off. Sawyer leaned onto the wall letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She wasn't ready to fully start talking to Wardlow again like nothing happened.

Sawyer pulled out her phone to Nova, almost dropping it from shaking.

Dude, you will not believe who was just in the elevator

...Who? I'm not a mind reader.

-_-

Tell me!

Michael. Fucking. Wardlow.

What are the chances?

Omg! Did you say anything to him?

Barely! He tried saying something but the doors closed. GOSH, it was sooo awkward :(

HA! See what happens when you avoid your problems?

🖕🖕🖕

"You won't believe what Sawyer just texted me." Nova laughed as she handed Veronica her phone. Veronica came over to read the messages, also making her laugh. "I knew it would be sooner or later they saw each other." Veronica jokes. "When did Tony and Kenny say we needed to head to the arena?" Nova asked. "At least by 5, Kenny had assured me last night before we got on the plane."
