Secrets

I nervously pulled my suitcase behind me as I walked towards the superstar entrance to the arena. It'd been a while since I'd been back and being here always gave me anxiety. I never truly felt like I fit in anywhere except when I was with Jon, Colby and Joe. I passed by the trucks and smiled seeing Jon's face on the side. I took a deep breath and slowly blew it out as I made my way into the bustling back area. I found the ladies locker room and set my stuff down and sighed. It always felt like I was starting all over again as the new girl whenever I came back from being gone. It was probably my own insecurities getting in the way

"Oh look who decided to grace us with her presence again"

I rolled my eyes, sighed and tried to ignore the snarky comment coming from Danielle. She always did know how to spoil a good mood.

"What? Too good to talk to us? We just wondered what you were doing here. I mean...I thought you were at home getting fat and playing a mommy dearest."

"Well, you thought wrong. It was always my intention to come back. Don't you have some random superstar to fuck? I mean...I thought that's what you're good at so that's what you'd be doing"

She turned up her nose and flung her hair over her shoulder as she walked by and muttered

"Yeah. Your husband"

"What was that?"

"What? I didn't say anything."

I grabbed my phone and marched out of the room. I didn't need to deal with her shit right now. I had my own issues...like finding my husband and checking on my daughter. I wandered for a while before hearing an excited squeal that made me smile. I turned around and saw April heading towards me excitedly.

"Angieeeeeeeee!!!!!!" 

She ran at me and practically tackled me to the floor. I hugged her back with a huge grin on my face. I had missed her so much. We both were just so busy that we never got to talk or see each other as often as we'd like.

"April!! You haven't called me or anything!!! What is going on?? I miss you!!!"

"Oh I'm so sorry Angie! Phil and I have just been so busy and you know how work is too. I always mean to call. Plus you know YOU could call me too!"  She said playfully pushing me

I laughed and hugged her again. I put my phone in my pocket and sat on one of the giant production crates and talked with my best friend as if we'd never been apart.

"There's my gorgeous wife!"

I giggled and blushed as Jon came over and kissed me

"Where have you been?"

"I went to find you and ran into someone so we've been talking."

"I see that. Check on Bailey?"

"Not yet. Hey...can I hang out in your locker room? I can't deal with Danielle."

"Of course Angie. I don't know why you bothered going in the ladies locker room anyway. Plus...I mean...plug your ears April...we could..."

He smirked and chuckled a little as April made a gagging face. He helped me down from the crate and pulled me in for a hug. I smiled and sighed as I embraced the hug. Why did moments like this feel so unreal?  He leaned against the crate and I turned around as he wrapped his arms around my shoulders. We stood and talked to April for a little longer before he took my hand and walked me back to the ladies locker room to pick up my stuff. I pecked his lips before quickly going inside.

"I'm going to prove that Angie is still in love with Colby."

I heard talking from the bathroom and I went over and stood outside the door to listen

"Seriously. I'm telling you she's still in love with him. I'll do whatever it takes to prove it. Before she and Jon got re-married we were sleeping around together again. I just...."

"Honestly Danielle...I think you just need to let it go. Like just ignore her and forget about Jon. It's not like you can't find someone else."

"What do you mean let it go? She doesn't deserve a guy like Jon..."

"I honestly don't want any part of this Danielle. I'm serious. You know even after everything I've done to Angie she's always been really nice to me. She and Jon are married and I think that you just need to get a life"

"Whatever Eva!"

I quickly went back over to my stuff and wiped the tears that were pooling up in my eyes. Was Danielle telling the truth? Were they sleeping together while we were engaged? I didn't want to believe it but she sounded so sure like she was telling the truth. I collected my things, took one last look in the mirror and opened the door and walked out.

"There you are! What took so long??"

I half smiled and sniffled a little "Sorry...no reason"

I started walking towards his locker room when he grabbed my arm to stop me. I could never hide anything from him. It was virtually impossible to get one over on him

"Ang? What's wrong? What happened in there?"

I pulled my arm away and just stared into his eyes looking for the answers to my questions, but I wasn't finding them. He was concerned and maybe had every right to be.

"Nothing Jon."

"Liar"

I shook my head "I don't want to talk about it. Lets go so we can check on Bailey."
