Trish Stratus stepped out of the rental car in Long Island New York on a
cold and snowy day. She looked around and saw a few fans standing there.
'Wow, they must really be loyal to be here to see me in this weather.' She
had to sign a few of their pictures, and when she was finally done, she
walked into the nice and toasty arena. She smiled, at the sight of her best
friend Lita and followed her to their locker room. Once they got there she
set down her bags, as Lita told her the plan for Raw later on that now.
"Well, you heard what he said last week. You know what he really feels for you, so why can't you just forgive him?"
"I'm not so sure, I mean, I still don't think that he's truthful. I can't explain it. Its hard to explain something about someone who you really care about, because, its just so confusing when you thought something else all along, ya know?" She sighed and then walked over to her bag to take out her wrestling gear for the night. She couldn't decide on which outfit to pick, so she just randomly chose one, and then hung it up.
"Trish, I think I know what your problem is. You just can't admit to yourself that he has truly changed. He's changed for you, girl. Just open your eyes and realize it." Lita looked over at Trish and saw that she had tears in her eyes. She walked over to her and gave her a hug. "Don't worry, you'll see what I mean, trust me."
"Thanks Lita. You're always there for me. God, you're the greatest. Let's go down to the cafeteria and get something to munch on before the show okay?"
"Sounds like a plan to me."
Lita and Trish grabbed a few bucks from each of their purses and left the locker room. They walked down the hall and ran into Lilian Garcia. And there she saw him standing there with Christian.
---------------------------------------------------------------:------------ --------------------------------------------
Chris was talking to Christian as he saw her walk up. It was just last week that he thought he had confessed his true love for her. Then he saw her catch his gaze, and she just turned away. 'Why must she continue to do this. She knows that it was all real. I do want to be apart of her life.'
"Dude, are you here? Its like you're lost or something. Did you hear a word of what I just said to you?"
"Yeah Christian, sorry. Just thinking about stuff. So anyways, about tonight. What's the plan?"
Christian continued talking to Chris, but he didn't care. He just sat there thinking about being with her. It was some of the best times he's ever spent with anyone in his entire life. He missed that. He missed being with her every night after the show, and every weekend. He also missed calling her on her phone, and even if she didn't answer, he missed hearing her voicemail. He missed every little moment of that. And he knew as hard as he tried it was going to take forever to get her back. Probably even longer. But no matter what, he was going to keep on trying. Until he got her back, he would stop at nothing. He needed to be with her, and thats what he was going to do.
"Hey Christian, I think I'm going to go for a little walk. Do you mind taking my bag to the locker room please?"
"No prob C-Man, I'll see you later." Christian patted him on the shoulder and then walked away. He was glad that he was finally away from him for once in the past week. He was just a tad annoying ever since the bet, and he knew that he had had enough. He just didn't know how to tell him that he was choosing Trish over him.
-------------------------------------------------------------:-------------- --------------------------------------------------
When they go to the cafeteria, Trish and Lita got some chips, and a few drinks. They spotted Stacy sitting all alone at the table, so they went and joined her. She looked a tad upset, so of course they asked her what was wrong.
"Hey Stacy, are you okay? You seem..." Trish started, but was interuppted by Stacy.
"I'm fine Trish. Its just that Test and I had a bit of an alltercation, and I really, don't wanna talk about it. Thanks anyways girls." Stacy started to get up from the table, but before she could walk away, Lita grabbed her by the arm.
"You're coming back to our locker room. And you're gonna be alright, okay? We'll make sure of that. Just come on."
The 2 blonds and redhead made their way back to the locker room. Trish spied Chris walking around in the hall, and told the girls she'd meet them there. She walked over to Chris, and started talking, but the words she was looking for just couldn't seem to come out.
"Chris, look, I saw what you had to say last week..and I don't know how to put this. You mean a lot to me, and you have for like awhile. But I don't know how to trust you Chris. I just, don't think I can right now. God, I'm acting so childish right now."
"Trish, its okay babe. I know that its gonna be hard to trust me for a long time, and I know how stupid I was to even make that bet in the first place. If you never trust me again, I truly understand. But everything I said last week was the truth. I want to be apart of your life." He brushed her hair back out of her face, and moved it behind her ear. "I want to be there for you. And I wanna be there after you have a great match. I honestly can't picture my life without you right now."
Trish pulled back away from him. Tears were starting to come to her eyes, and she couldn't look at him any longer. She turned away, but he pulled her back. She tugged away and then took off a fast pace down the hall. When she got to the locker room, she ran into the bathroom and sat there. Lita and Stacy tried coming in, but she told them that she would be out later.
-----------------------------------------------:---------------------------- ----------------------
He didn't understand why she had come to talk to him in the first place. He sighed, and ran his fingers through his hair. 'I don't understand what I have to do. She's making this harder than it already is.' He walked back down the hall and towards his locker room to get ready for Raw. It started in about 4 hours, but he needed to be ready. Just in case he needed to be there. Once he got there he found Christian on the phone with their boss, Eric Bischoff.
"Thanks Eric, you're the best. I'll see you in a few hours, man." Christian hung up the phone, and spotted Chris walking in. "Hey C-Man, you feel better? You were kind of out of it earlier."
"Yeah, just fine, just had to clear my mind. A lot of things have been running through my mind."
"Chris, you need to get over Trish. If she's playing hard to get, what's the sense in chasing a girl who doesn't want you. Move on, its about time to." He looked at Chris, and smiled. Chris gave him a dirty look and Christian knew that he wasn't about to give up on her.
"Christian you don't understand. I want to be with her more than anything. Obviously you've never felt like this for anyone, so what do you care? Is it a problem that I, Chris Jericho, am into someone more than myself?"
"Whoa, calm down man, don't get all defensive. I didn't know you cared that much."
"Obviously you don't know a lot about the way I'm feeling." Chris saw the confused look on Christians face, and rolled his eyes. "Look man, I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do anymore. She can't even look at me with a straight face anymore without tearing up. I can't believe I hurt her. Why did we have to be so immature to even start a bet? Are we that stupid?"
"Well, I got into this bet to win a dollar. That obviously isn't what you wanted after you're first kiss now is it? Look, I can see your unhappy, so I'm just gonna go talk to some people. I'll be back later. See ya."
Christian left the room and Chris just sat back on the couch. How could Christian be so naïve? He didn't care about anyone but himself. And it was gonna change, soon.
"Well, you heard what he said last week. You know what he really feels for you, so why can't you just forgive him?"
"I'm not so sure, I mean, I still don't think that he's truthful. I can't explain it.
