The Way We Were
Opportunity

The sun was shining bright in the afternoon sky as Marty Scurll dashed through the front doors of WKPX. He was crossing the parking lot, heading toward his black Dodge Challenger, when a silver Mercedes sped into the lot. He threw his arms up in annoyance as the luxury car sped past him without even slowing down.

If Marty hadn't been in such a good mood he would have stormed over and given the driver a piece of his mind. Instead he crossed the lot and got into the driver's seat of his car. He was in far too good of a mood to let some pretentious moron get him down.

He turned the key in the ignition, bringing the engine to life. He turned up the radio before backing out of his parking space.

He turned left at the intersection. It was a short drive to his destination. He had just finished a meeting with his boss and had been given a new assignment, an assignment he was extremely excited about.

He was in route to Cuts and Curves to discuss the new assignment with his close friend Seth Rollins. Marty and Seth had been close in high school, but their friendship had only grown when Seth began to date, and later married, Marty's best friend Abigail Knight.. Seth was the owner of Cuts and Curves, the largest local gym. He turned left at the intersection, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel as he drove.

The parking lot of Cuts and Curves was packed, even in the mid afternoon. He parked in the first available space and jogged up to the front door, pulling it open for a woman carrying a rather large gym bag. She thanked him as she stepped inside.

He followed her through and let the door swing closed, stepping into the gym and looking around for his friend.

He spotted him in the corner, talking to two of the trainers he had hired to assist him. He waved to get his attention as he walked toward him. Seth smiled when he spotted him and finished giving his directions to the trainers before walking over to meet him.

"Hey Marty, I don't see a gym bag, so I am guessing you are not here to use the facility. What's up?"

Marty smiled and shook his head, "You got a minute, I have something I need to talk to you about."

"Sure, lets head to the office where it is quiet." Seth led the way across the gym and down a narrow hallway toward a group of offices and a break room. He stepped into the largest of the offices and waited for Marty to come in before closing the door. "What do you have to tell me. I am assuming it is good news, you can't hide your excitement." Seth sat down at his desk and motioned for him to sit down too.

Marty sat in the closest chair and smiled, "You're right. I just left a meeting with my boss and I have been given a new assignment."

"Alright, I'll bite, why are you so excited and what does it have to do with me?"

"Crossfit games. WKPX is going to sponsor the crossfit games this year and they want to hold the regional challenges here and I am going to cover them."

Seth leaned forward in his seat, a large smile spread across his face and he shook his head. "The Crossfit Games, here? Seriously?. . . .Sweet. How could I say no to an offer like that?"

"It is going to be great publicity. Especially since you are planning on expanding and making more gyms in the region. It is perfect. We can advertise your new gyms while covering the games." Marty leaned back in his chair.

"That would be amazing."

"The only problem is I am not the only one working on this project."

"Really, who else are you working with?" Seth frowned. There was always the possibility that Marty's coworker would not be as willing to add in advertising for the gym into the coverage of the games.

Marty shrugged. "I have no idea. It is the new head of marketing. I won't meet him until tomorrow. Hopefully he will go along with all of my ideas because I already have a ton of ideas to make this beneficial for both you and WKPX."

Seth smiled and nodded, "I am sure he will, you are great at what you do Graves, no reason for him to not go with your ideas."

"I bet Abby will be ecstatic. How does she feel about you expanding and creating the new gyms."

"I have mentioned it and she is, as always, being supportive. Although, I just heard from one of the property managers this morning and it looks like we are a go for the first of the new gyms."

"Wow, that is fantastic. Congratulations."

"Thanks. I can't wait to get home and tell Abby. Now, I have this amazing news to tell her about the crossfit games as well. Luckily she is already there for support. I don't know what I would do without her."

He smiled, "I know she is great. You're lucky to have her."

"Don't I know it." Seth laughed as he leaned back in his office chair.

He glanced at his watch and frowned, "I hate to do it, but I gotta run. I only took a half hour lunch today and I need to get back to the station. I'll talk to you later."

"See you later man. Thanks for driving over to tell me. It was good seeing you."

"You too. Tell Abby I said hi." Marty said as he crossed the room and opened the door.

"Will do."

He closed the door behind him and made his way down the hall and back outside to his car.

Hopefully, the new head of marketing would approve of all his ideas so he wouldn't let his friend down.

-x-x-x-

Abigail Knight-Rollins stepped into her boss's office. She had just been about to run to the diner down the street to grab her lunch order when her co-worker had informed her that the head nurse had wanted to see her.

Feeling anxious, she had quickly turned back to the office. Now, seated across from her boss, some of her tension had lifted. She highly doubted she was in any trouble, given the smile she had been greeted with.

"Abby. You applied for a traveling nurse's job a few weeks back?" Her boss, Stephanie, asked. Her blonde hair was clipped up atop her head and her warm brown eyes were flocked by crows feet. However, her face was wrinkle free and her smile radiated warmth.

Abigail nodded. Becoming a traveling nurse had been her dream since she was sixteen and she had decided she had wanted to follow in her father's footsteps in the medical field. She had been fascinated with travel her entire life and loved the idea of being able to travel to different places, learning different cultures and meeting new people, and the idea of doing that all while working in her desired field was the perfect option for her. However, she had put that dream on hold after her and her high-school sweetheart, Seth Rollins, had married during their senior year of college. Seth, who had received a dual major in exercise studies and business, had wanted to open his own gym. He had needed her there emotionally during the venture and they had needed the financial stability of her taking a local, full-time.

Now that his gym was successful and they were in a good place, she had decided to put in an application. She hadn't spoken to Seth, seeing she didn't know whether or not she would be offered a position or if she would take it if she was. She was just testing the waters, seeing if it was a viable option for her at this point in her life. If it was meant to be at that time.

"Yes. It is something I have always been interested in and now that the gym is doing so well I thought I would just put in my application and see what happens."

"Well, my dear, there are several open positions from hospitals in various states. Some are opening within the next two days, some are a week, 10 days, and two weeks." Her boss grabbed a file folder off the corner of her desk and held it out to her. "Of course, I would hate to see my best nurse go, but If you are interested in one of these positions I would suggest you move fast."

Abby took the file and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Stephanie. That means a lot to me. I will let you know what I decide in the next few days."

Stephanie nodded her head and opened another file on her desk, "You best hurry and go get your lunch before they need you for something. I am sorry to take up some of your lunch time."

"It's not a problem. I appreciate you telling me the news." Abby said as she stood up and left the office, closing the door behind her. She looked at the file folder in her hand and let out a deep breath.

She was, of course, extremely excited, but at the same she was rather nervous. What should she do?

What would Seth say? She hadn't even told him she was filling out an application.

She had a lot to think about and a lot to discuss with her husband.

-x-x-x-

Marty had just exited his favorite sandwich shop, Peppi's, when his cell phone rang. He grabbed the phone out of his pocket as he opened the door to his car. He slid into the driver's seat and glanced at the screen.

Abby

He smiled at the sight of his best friend's name and answered the phone. "Hey, what's up?" He held the phone against his ear as he turned the car on.

"Cor! I just got the most exciting news!" He could hear traffic in the background and knew the nurse must be on her lunch break.

"What news is that?" He switched to Bluetooth and dropped his phone into the center council. He placed the paper bag with the Peppi's logo on on it, on the passenger seat before shifting the car into drive and pulling out into the late afternoon traffic.

"Well, kind of on a whim, I filled out an application for a traveling nurse position a few weeks ago. Well, Steph just called me in to tell me there are quite a few openings I could apply for."

"Wow, Abby, that is awesome." Mart knew that it had always been Abby's dream to spend some time working as a traveling nurse. She had given up that dream, at least for a while, to support her husband. He knew all too well that sometimes love means sacrifice and had hoped that one day soon his friend would get the chance to fulfill her dream like Seth was fulfilling his. "What did Seth say?"

"I haven't told him yet. I am going to talk to him tonight. I am seriously considering it though. I mean some of these are not that far away and only for the short-term." Abby's excitement made him smile. "I am just worried about what Seth will say? What if he isn't okay with this?"

"It sounds like it will be an amazing experience for you, Abby. I am sure Seth will have an open-mind. He will want you to be happy. He loves you."

Abby let out a deep breath, "Thanks Marty, you're seriously the best friend anyone could ask for."

He chuckled, "I don't know Abby. You are pretty amazing yourself." He pulled into an empty parking space, but left the car running. He grabbed his bag and pulled out the sandwich he had bought for lunch. He half-unwrapped it and took a big bite.

"I certainly try. I feel bad bothering you at work though. I am sorry. I wasn't thinking, I was so excited."

Marty swallowed his food and took a sip of his drink, "Don't worry about it. I am on my lunch too."

"Well, that worked out rather nicely." Abby giggled. "It feels like we haven't talked in a while. I guess we have both been so busy with work!"

"It did and I know. We will have to all have dinner this weekend at my place. As long as you Seth have the time?"

"I have Saturday off. I am sure Seth can find the time too."

"Sweet, well that is settled. Have you heard from Ellie lately?"

Ellie Knight was Abby's twin sister. The two, while close, were polar opposites. Abby was energetic, athletic and outgoing while Ellie, whose full name was Janelle, was more introverted and creative. She had been Seth's best friend in high-school, the main reason that Abby and Seth hand met and eventually dated. She was also Marty's ex.

"I haven't talked to her since the last time you asked. She has been distant lately. She still calls and emails, but she doesn't talk a lot, only about her job and her apartment."

He sighed, "Well, I am glad she is doing alright then. I wish she was better about keeping in touch with us so we would know she is okay."

He could picture Abby right now, her black hair was probably up in a messy bun and she would be wearing a knowing smile on her face as she shook her head. She knew that he was not over Janelle, but she never gave him a hard time about it. Quite the contrary, she often expressed her desire that they would get back together. He knew Abby wanted her sister back home in Pittsburgh just as much as he did.

'I'm sorry, Marty, I know how much you miss her."

"It's okay Abby. I better get back to work, my lunch is almost up. Text me later and let me know if we are officially on for Saturday or not."

"Will do. Talk to you later."

"Later Abs." He hung up the phone and grabbed the remainder of his sandwich and drink and made his way back to the radio station. He took another bite of his sandwich after entering the elevator. He was glad the radio station was small and he didn't have to ride with anyone else on the elevator. After his discussion with Abby he wasn't really in the mood for small talk with his coworkers.

The fact of the matter was he wasn't over Ellie. He had tried to move on after she left. He had even gone on a few dates, but he just couldn't move past her. Every part of him believed they were meant to be together and he wished he had fought harder to make her stay when she said she was going to leave for Boston. It was still his biggest regret.

When the elevator reached the third floor where his studio was located he stepped out. The hallway was empty except for the secretary who must have just left the station manager's office. She gave him a smile and a quick hello before ducking onto the elevator he had just stepped off of.

His studio was in the third room on the left. He grabbed the keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door. He was about to step inside when the sound of heels on the tile floor caught his attention. He looked in the direction of the noise and his jaw dropped.

The woman exiting the station manager's office wore a charcoal gray pencil skirt, red blouse, and gray blazer. Her painted toenails were exposed through red peep-toe pumps. Her black hair framed her face in loose waves and her blue eyes widened in shock when they fell upon him.

"Ellie?" He was shocked. What was she doing there? Why hadn't she told anyone she was coming? "Wow, Elle, I can't believe it."

In an instant her shocked expression was gone. She straightened herself and smiled slightly. Marty, It's good to see you." She sounded formal, professional.

"What are you doing here?"

Janelle opened her mouth to respond-

"Fantastic!" His boss stepped out of his office smiling brightly. He was flanked by a tall, muscular man in a dark blue suit and brown loafers. "Graves, I see you have already met our new Head of Marketing! I was just coming to introduce you."

He stared blankly at his boss. The new head of what? He had to have heard him wrong. "I - I'm sorry?" Marty glanced back and forth between Janelle and his boss.

Ellie smiled weakly, "The new Head of Marketing. I suppose that means we will be working together quite often."

"Why don't I see you out?" His boss offered. "You two can talk and get better acquainted tomorrow. I am sure you have plenty of unpacking to do."

"Yes, that sounds like a god idea, come on Jen." The muscular man in the blue suit walked with their boss to the elevator.

Janelle lingered for a moment before following behind them. "I guess I will see you tomorrow, Marty." She said as she walked by.

He watched as the trio stepped onto the elevator, the two men talking amicably as the elevator doors slid closed.

He couldn't believe Elle was back in town. Why hadn't she called Abby to tell her? Why had she decided to leave her comfortable job in Boston?

And was that a diamond ring he saw on her finger?

[disclaimer] my bank account informs me that i still haven't had my big break yet.

[an] okay. That is where I am going to stop chapter one. I hope you all enjoyed it and will look forward to chapter two.
