Thanks For The Memories
Chapter 6
Shawn rang the doorbell and knocked on the door, impatiently rocking back and forth as he waited for Trish to answer. He glanced over at Danny, the poor soul who nearly got his face pounded in by Paul not even two days before their journey to Canada to speak to Trish in person. Shawn felt sorry he had to drag Danny into this, but he figured there was something about Danny that Trish had to have liked in order for her to ask him for help.
Shawn also felt bad for leaving Paul behind to deal with his father in law. Macey's future was a hell of a lot more important.
The door opened to reveal a very beautiful looking Trish Stratus. Shawn had a problem keeping his jaw attached to the rest of his face… Did she even know he was going to be there too? Or was she just expecting Danny?
"Hey there, hun!" Shawn shouted, regaining his composure.
Trish smiled at him and gave him a hug.
"Well hello, Shawn! It's always nice to see you!" She stated, ushering him into the house.
"Hi Trish." Danny greeted.
Oh, Danny… You shy, shy little boy… Did I teach you nothing? Shawn thought as he slid into the house. He turned in time to see Danny lean over to give Trish a kiss on the cheek. She smiled brilliantly at him when he stood up straight again.
Shawn stared, wide eyed.
…You sly dog, you…
"Hi yourself, Danny."
Trish ushered Danny in and shut the door behind herself as she walked back in. She walked over to where Shawn and Danny were standing.
"How's life treating you?" Shawn asked, trying to ease the semi-awkward tension he felt.
"Just fine, thanks. Do you guys want anything to drink?" Trish asked.
"No thank you." Danny replied.
"I'm fine, thanks. I was wondering if we could get down to business." Shawn stated.
Trish shrugged her shoulders.
"Sure! Let's take a seat on the couch."
Shawn sat down on one couch and watched as Danny sat on the other. Trish looked back and forth between the men twice, then sat down next to Danny and pulled his arm around her shoulders. Shawn raised a confused eyebrow, but let it slide when he saw Danny narrow his eyes at him.
"So… I think it would be great if you spoke to my little sister Macey. You remember her, right?"
"Yes, I do. She's so sweet! Why do I need to talk to her?" Trish asked.
"Because she has a new boyfriend." Shawn grumbled.
"Oh, really? Is it someone I know?" Trish asked, leaning her head on Danny's shoulder.
Shawn felt afraid to tell her… It was something he failed to mention on the phone. Not only for his sake, but for Dan's sake, as well.
"Yes, sadly. It is." Shawn replied.
Trish looked up at Danny and pouted.
"It's not you, right?" She asked.
Shawn tried to ignore the sadness in her voice. Was there something going on between those two?
"No, sugar. Of course not." Danny replied.
Trish smiled and put her head back on Danny's shoulder.
"Good. I'd have to hurt the both of you."
"In all seriousness, Trish… It's Shane." Shawn stated, unable to keep it in any longer.
He watched as Trish's left hand balled into a fist. She sat up like she was going to pounce on Shawn and kill him.
"What the hell did you just say?" She shouted.
Shawn backed as far away from her as he could go.
"I… I said my little sister Macey is… Dating Shane." Shawn repeated, grabbing a pillow and putting it in front of his face.
Trish would have punched something if Danny hadn't pulled her back to him.
"I'm going to kill that son of a bitch! Why does he think he can get with ANY girl he wants? You know what he does? He dates them to get back at someone, then he fucks them, probably impregnates them and then DUMPS them when something better comes along. I can't believe he's going to this level. Your sister, Shawn? Your little sister? That prick! He should probably die of AIDS." Trish shouted.
"You know what they say, Trish. Bad things happen to good people." Danny stated, holding her tight.
"And Shane is the worst they can come. That fucking sleaze ball." Trish grumbled, wrapping her left arm around Dan's chest to keep herself calm.
Shawn sighed.
"I'm sorry I had to bring up bad times with you, Trish… But would you mind talking about it?" Shawn asked.
"What do you want to know?" Trish replied.
"Anything that could help me get my sister away from him as soon as possible…"
"That's going to be tough, Shawn. I didn't listen to anyone when I started dating Shane. He was so sweet… You know, the absolute gentleman. Buy you presents for no reason whatsoever. Treat you like a queen when you're feeling down. But… God forbid you don't want to do something when he tells you to do it… He goes absolutely nuts. And the break up is just… Like hell freezing over. It's honestly the worst thing I've ever gone though in my life. Thank God I had amazing friends like Danny to help me."
Trish smiled sweetly at Danny, who returned the gesture. Shawn was damn convinced there was something between the two. But he didn't press the situation. He didn't want to press his luck. One wrong question and Dan could end up in a hell of a lot of pain.
"Trish… Would you mind talking to Macey for me? It would mean everything in the world to me if you could try to convince her to get away from Shane." Shawn stated.
Trish looked back at Shawn and sighed.
"Shawn, I'd love to talk to your sister. You know how I am; I'm always willing to help out a friend in need. But sometimes people need to realize they need help and seek it themselves. You know what I mean? You can't fix something that's not broken."
"I know, Trish. But if we don't step in soon, Macey's heart will be broken into pieces." Shawn replied.
"I understand that, honey. But… You can't always be there to protect her from everything. Macey has to learn Shane is bad for her on her own. I mean, if you can convince her to talk to me, I'll be more than happy to do so… But… Until then, I guess there's nothing else I can do for you." Trish stated.
Shawn sighed and smiled his thanks.
"I'm sure I'll be able to convince her to talk to you, Trish. She did always have a soft spot for you… And, since nobody knows about your relationship with Shane, I guess you can mention it and gradually get her to realize he's all wrong for her." Shawn smiled evilly, making Danny and Trish raise a concerned eyebrow.
"I'll do whatever I can, Shawn. You know that. But don't get your hopes up."
A/N: For once, I'm writing a cutesy relationship that makes me 'awwwwh' instead of 'ohGodgross'! It's so exciting. What is going on between Trish and Danny? Stay tuned to find out!
QueenofQueens – Yeah, I have no idea who the hell "Maryn" is or where she came from. I hope she comes back, though. Maybe she can explain why some of my valuables have gone missing.
Marrymebrandon – Shane makes me sick in general in this story. I can tell I'm NOT going to be a fan of writing him at all, which makes me sad because I actually do like the guy... If you can believe that.
Devin, KityKat-1, Kennedy2006 – Yeah, Shane is a two-faced prick. I think we've all encountered one of those in our lives. How much longer will he have Macey under his spell, though? Only time will tell, and I can guarantee all hell will break loose when he meets up with Shawn.
Oh, and I've decided Trish and Danny are going to become main characters in this shindig. Hope y'all don't mind.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
