Chapter Thirty

One Year Later:

Z.

And there it was. E had finally sent Jessie the last letter of the alphabet. The last couple of letters had been sent out a bit farther apart than the others, and she had begun wondering if he'd forgotten that he was even doing it. Apparently not, though, as she had finally received Z.

Jessie didn't know what any of this meant, though, and honestly, she wouldn't be surprised if it meant nothing at all.

She slid her phone back into her pocket and looked back up at the crowded convention center in front of her. Comic-Con was in full swing.

"What was that?" Cheyenne asked, nodding toward Jessie's phone.

"It's just E." She rolled her eyes. "He's been sending me every letter of the alphabet, one at a time, very slowly."

"Oh." Cheyenne nodded. "What letter did he just send?"

"Z. Which means he's finally done."

"He's done?" Cheyenne asked. Jessie could tell she was trying not to smile.

"Yes?" Jessie replied, suspiciously. "Do you know something about this? Is he about to start sending me numbers or something?"

Cheyenne laughed. "No, he's not going to send you numbers or anything. But yes, I might know something about it."

"Do you know why he's been sending me letters?" Jessie asked.

"Yeah." She nodded. "But it's really not a big deal, I promise. He can tell you about it later."

"Okay..."

"Isn't he part of a panel right now with Austin and Kofi?" Cheyenne asked. "Is he texting you during that?"

"I don't know." Jessie shrugged. "I guess we'll see later if anyone recorded him texting on his phone instead of answering fan questions."

"It doesn't even matter," Cheyenne said. "So, c'mon, let's go find the Supernatural guys." She grabbed her friend's hand, dragging her through the convention center.

Austin had two panels that he was apart of back-to-back -- one with the other New Day guys, as well as a few other wrestlers, and one with some other YouTubers. Jessie had a different panel she was part of -- Women in Gaming -- that would start toward the end of Austin's second one. She had some time to kill and was doing that by exploring with Cheyenne.

And it had been on Cheyenne's bucket list to meet Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, so obviously they were gonna do it.

About two hours later, Jessie found herself sitting in a room at a long table, with three other female Twitch streamers on either side of her. A few of them she knew and had played with a couple of times (Sommerset and Shubble), while one other she had never met (KaraCorvus).

Seth had been a part of the same panel as The New Day, and once they had finished that up, Cheyenne had met up with him, so Jessie hadn't seen her in a while. But he's freaking Seth Rollins, so obviously she wasn't mad at her friend for ditching her.

The room was gradually filling up as it grew closer to time for everything to start. As far as Jessie understood, this was mostly going to be just a Q&A. Fans would ask questions either to all of them, or just one of them, or just a select few.

About a minute before it was set to start, Cheyenne and Seth walked in, taking a seat in the very back row. Jessie knew that Austin's last panel was still going on for about 10 or so minutes, but that he was coming once it ended. The plan was for everyone to hang out for the rest of the day.
