Chapter 22: "Good For You"
Jolene Milford's POV

- - -

I'm washing dishes when I hear a knock on my front door. The moment the sound reaches my ears, a large grin spreads across my face. Dallas and Kim have made it!

"Hey, Joli! Let us in!" Dally calls with a laugh while I sit some dishes back down in the sink and dry off my hands.

"I'm coming! Hold on!" I chuckle as I carefully scurry to the door. It feels so good to be able to move on my own, without any sort of cast or brace.

I open up the door and the moment Kimberly lays eyes on me, she pulls me in for a big hug. I don't hesitate at all to return the gesture as laughter comes from both of our chests. God, I've missed her!

"Hey, don't forget about me, girl!" Dallas jokes. The moment Kimberly and I part, Dallas wraps his arms around my shoulders and brings me in closer to his chest. I hug him as tightly as I can before he coughs and lets me go. "I forget how tightly you can hug someone. I guess that means you've missed me?"

"I've honestly missed the two of you more than I could ever explain. It's so damn nice to see you in person again." I smile as I step back and give the couple enough room to come inside. Dallas picks their bags up from the ground and carries them in behind Kim. I shut the door before Dally pipes in.

"We've missed you too, Joli. Hey, your guest room is down that way, isn't it?" He asks, pointing in the right direction. I nod and he gives me a grin before heading to put their things down.

"How's it feel to finally be up and moving?" Kim smiles at me as she sits down on my couch. "It's honestly just so nice to be able to see you on your feet again."

"Isn't it, though? I'd nearly forgotten how nice it was to be able to walk without any kind of support. I can't say I'm not the slightest bit worried about it, though, because I am. I have this irrational fear that I'm going to go to stand up and my ankle is going to snap again." I admit as I shudder and take a seat in my recliner.

"You'll feel like that for a few days, but I promise it'll fade. Your ankle is completely fine." I know she's right, but it still feels so weird. "You'll be back running around the ring in no time."

"God, I hope so. Bischoff said if everything keeps up, I should be back in a couple of weeks." I smile and Kim lets out an excited squeal.

"Really?! That's great!" She cheers.

"Holy shit, that soon? That's awesome, sis!" Dallas claps loudly as he walks back into the room, a wide grin upon his lips. "Maybe now Scott and Kevin won't look so damn dreary all the time."

"Page!" Kim scolds while I look between the two of them with a raised brow. "Be nice!"

"What? You know I'm right, babe. The two look like they've lost a piece of themselves with Jolene gone. I think it'll be good for all of them to get back together."

"Has it really been that bad?" I ask Kim as Dallas sits down beside of her.

"No." Kim glares at Dallas as he laughs. "They've obviously missed you, but they've not been as down as someone likes to think."

"I just call it like I see it, babe." Dallas smirks. "I just call it like I see it."

I swear, I've missed these two goofs. Dallas and Kim really are two the kindest people that I've ever been lucky enough to call my friend. I just hope that Dally really is just being a little bit of an ass, and that Scott and Kev really haven't been too upset while I've been gone. Surely they'd tell me, right?
