Tonight, we're in Houston for Hell in a Cell, this is the first time I've been back since Emma's death. Liv and I skipped Raw and Smackdown for the funeral. We got to the arena a little bit later than normal today and as soon as I walked in I was met with so much love from everyone. Triple H and Stephanie pull Liv and I aside to talk to us for a moment.

Triple H: I just want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. If you need anything please let me know.

Oliver: Thanks, you did enough by letting Gionna take time off to be with me. It's been so much easier having her by my side through all of this.

Liv: This whole thing has been rough for the both of us but we're hanging in there.

Stephanie: All you can do is be there for each other. You'll pull through this guys it's going to be hard but if anyone can do it I know the two of you can.

Oliver: Thanks Steph.

Triple H: Are you going to be okay to compete tonight?

Oliver: Yeah, I know Emma would want me to keep going so that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to compete against one of my best friends so it'll be a lot easier.

Triple H: Well go get ready for tonight. I just wanted to let you know that we're here for you if you need anything.

Liv: Thank you so much.

After Liv and I left Triple H's office we were walking down the hall and we saw Leah and Jackson walking towards us. I started to tense up a little bit and Liv tried to calm me down a little. Jackson walks over to me and he gets right in my face and the next thing I know he brings me in for a hug.

Jackson: I'm so sorry for your loss Oliver. I've done a lot of thinking over the past week and I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I've put you through that was wrong of me to do you were my best friend.

Oliver: Thank you. I'm not saying everything will go back to normal but I'm willing to keep the past behind us and start rebuilding our relationship. Life is too short to hold a grudge over something stupid. What do you say?

I stick my hand out to shake Jackson's hand and he accepts it and we shook hands and hugged, then Leah hugged me.

Leah: I'm so sorry Oliver. She was such a sweet girl when I found out my heart broke.

Oliver: Thanks guys.

Leah: How are you two holding up?

Oliver: It's hard but with Gionna by my side it's a lot easier to handle.

Leah: I'm glad that you two have each other. I really am happy for the two of you. You're in my prayers Oliver.

Oliver: Thanks Leah.

Jackson: Go out there tonight and make Emma proud of her dad.

Oliver: I will.

Jackson: I'm rooting for you Ollie.

Liv: Well we have to get ready, thank you guys. I'm glad all of that is finally behind you now.

We walked away from Jackson and Leah and went over to catering to meet up with everyone before we got ready.

Oliver: You know, I'm actually glad that I made up with them. I felt a huge weight being lifted off of me just then.

Liv: I'm glad that you have that closure now.

We caught up with our friends and then we got ready for the show. I went and got changed into my gear and got ready for the show, I got special gear for tonight to honor Emma. Sasha's husband came through for me and made me some pretty bad ass pink and baby blue gear because those were Emma's two favorite colors and on my knee pad I have a rose to represent her middle name. I did my pre match ritual I found an equipment box and I sat there with my hood up listening to music while I taped my writs up. I just happened to look up and started to smile when I saw Liv skipping towards me. She came over and hopped right onto the box and sat next to me and gave me a kiss.
