round one

Adie POV

                  I shouldn't be here...i don't even know if i'm as good as i used to be

A: *sigh*...this is it

                  I used to come here back when my anger issues were basically out of control. A pin could drop at the wrong time and i'd leave a hole in a wall...i park my car, walk in and someone tries to stop me. All i have to do is look at them

Bouncer: a-adie rider! right this way ma'am. I've heard how much damage you used to do-

A: they still talk bout me huh? 

B: oh course you're THE-

A: oh God don't call me by my fighter name i made that was i was younger and drunk...er- 

                I walk into the place and see the good ol cage with people round it drinking, betting, taking hits, you name it it's all here...and in the cage

                 I walk up to the table and my old boss remembers me...

A: hey mr. ralph-

MR: well i be darned...miss adie rider it's good to see ya again *shakes hand* lemme guess...need to blow off some steam? you'll be up next i'm sure no one will mind...you okay with going up with Lexi?

                        She's still here? i mean i know she's a good fighter but like...really?

MR: you left she's been the top dog...that'll change quick i'm sure

                         I head into the locker room and change into my sleeveless hoodie, wrap my knuckles in bandages since i forgot to pack my gloves...

Announcer: NOW I'D LIKE YOU ALL TO PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR A OLD FRIEND YOU MAY REMEMBER...THE ONE

                     I walk thru the hall to the entrance

Announcer: THE ONLY

                     I walk up to the cage and people start to see me and scream...it's too loud damn it this was a bad idea-

Announcer: WRECKIN RIDER!

                        That was SUCH a stupid name what WAS i thinking back then-

Gabbie POV

                          I should probably go get groceries now...yeah i'ma do that. I grab my purse, get in my car and drive to ralphs. I grab a buggy and head down the usual path i take to grab stuff. Eggs, bread, chicken, veggies. Then i get the stuff Adie would normally get like beans, avocado, white rice...some snacks. That should be fine...OH toilet paper...now it's fine. I check out and as i'm heading to my car some fans spot me and one of their friends slightly pushing them over...they seem shy

G: hey

E: h-hi i'm evelyn i-i'm a big fan i was um wondering if i could get a pic...with you? 

G: yeah of course! 

                       I hold the phone, by request, and take a selfie with them

E: thanks

G: no problem

E: so um if it's not rude to ask...

G: hm?

E: well we...yanno the fandom...have kinda been wondering...well we figure she's with you we just wonder...where adie is...if that's okay to ask

                        Oh I should probably tell the fans adie is okay...psychically anyway
