Light In The Darkness

17 - Apologies

Windham and I decided not to tell people about us yet. Partially because we wanted to mess with everyone a little but mostly we wanted to see how my rant had affected our co-workers. I had told Abby that I hadn't been able to find her brother after our conversation under that staircase. Windham and I hated to keep it from her but we both knew Abby wouldn't be able to keep this a secret.

I hadn't even told Camila anything.

A week had passed like this and I was checking the match card when Abby joined me "Could you please come with me?"

"Why? Is something wrong Abby?" I asked her.

"The guys and I want to apologise." She answered. "We are so sorry."

"You already apologised Abbs, and I'm not that mad at Adam, Jon or Joseph either."

"So just at my brother then." She concluded.

"It was just more hurtful coming from him." I shrugged like we weren't already somewhat together.

"Can't you really come talk to him?" Abby pouted, which made it pretty hard to keep my mouth shut.

"I'll think about it okay? Now what do we have to do tonight?"

Later that day I was sitting by myself in catering, I had come in to get something to eat when it was still pretty empty in catering. Now there were slowly people coming in.

I looked up from my food as someone sat down next to me, it was Jonathan. 

"Hey, Im Jonathan." He said as he held out his hand to me. I was a bit sceptical but shook his hand anyway.

"Look, you were right." He started. "Im sorry, I should have introduced myself like this to you when you started."

"Well then, it's nice to meet you Jonathan. Im Harmony." I relaxed a little now I knew why he had sit down with me. "And I accept your apology. That's very big of you so thank you. I should apologise as well though, I know I'm not the easiest person."

"Well then, how about we all start over?"

I looked at Jonathan in confusement "We all?"

Jonathan pointed behind us and I turned to see a lot of my co workers there."We all wanted to apologise."

"And hopefully start over. I'm Leati." Leati stepped up to me.

"Well I would like that very much." I nodded as I shook his hand. "As far as I'm concerned its water under the bridge. And I do really apologise as well. Especially since I judged all of you in my rant last week even though some of you did sit down with me not long after I started."

With apologies accepted all around we all sat down again. Now speaking more freely with each other and more accepting towards each other as well. Most of the people here weren't so bad after all and I had to admit that maybe I had done the right thing with ranting last week. The whole vibe backstage had shifted.

"So can I ask you something?" Jonathan asked me

"Course, what's up?" I replied before popping another fry into my mouth.

"Why aren't you and Windham together exactly?" 

"Still on that subject?" I asked sternly but of course I was only messing with him.

"Sorry it's just that everyone can see how you both look at each other. Whether you realise it or not, you two are head over heels for each other."

"Well first of all in my case that would be head over sneakers, I would never wear heels. Abby tried making me wear them but couldn't exactly force me in the end. Second, I have realised that on my part for weeks now."

"Yeah you two aren't very subtle about it. But why aren't you two together then?" 

"You aren't going to drop this, are you?" I asked him with a chuckle.

"Nope so you better answer.." Just as jon was saying that my phone rang.

I decided to take the call in catering this time, I had ranted about being yourself off screen instead of a character so I should be doing the same.

"Hello?" I answered, already knowing who it would be

"Hi mommy." Levi's voice sounded through my phone. Oh how dearly I missed him.

"Hey baby, how was school today? Did you have fun?" I asked him. School was the biggest reason why he couldn't be with me on the road.

"Yes very much! I took a picture of you and aunty with me and everyone wanted to look at it." He sounded very proud of getting so much attention. "Oh and guess what Miss. Lee told us that it was almost time for a break."

"That's great baby, maybe you could come see me during the break." I said hopeful as it would be great to see him again.

"No mommy, Aunty Lola promised I could spend all of the break with you."

"Even better." I decided. "You can meet all your favorite wrestlers when you're here."

"Yay! I'll see you then mommy. Aunty Lola wants to speak to you now. Love you."

Lola and I spoke of his break, when it would start and when it would end. He would be here next week and be able to stay for two weeks after that.

I ended the call and put my phone back in my pocket before facing Jon again "Sorry, my son called."

"Oh yeah I heard you mention him in that interview you did."

"I did, his name is Levi and he is 4 years old. He is the sweetest little boy, although as his mom I'm probably biased about it. He will come join me next week during his school break."

"That's fun, I guess we will all meet him then." 

I nodded and got up "Guess I'll have to give my team a heads up. Levi will probably want to see them again."

"You should, and while you're at it. Just get together with him already."

I knocked on the Wyatt family team locker room door, I knew I didn't have to but I hadn't been here in a week cause I had pretended to still be mad at Windham.

Abby opened the door and immediately pulled me inside once she saw it was me.

"Took you long enough." 

"Calm down Abbs, just came to let you guys know Levi is coming to Join us next week during his school break."

"Sounds great. So you're really not mad at us anymore? Jon asked

"Course Im not mad anymore, I was never really that mad at you guys anyway. How could I really get mad at my brothers and sister after all." I smiled at them.

"Even my brother?" Abby asked hopeful

"No I don't see him as a brother." I saw Abby's face fall at my words "Would be weird to date someone I see as a brother after all."
