Reason 3

Chapter 11: Deja vu

Run.

That was the first thing that came to mind for Trish. Right now she was looking like an idiot. She hadn't said a word or moved since Candice told her the "good" news.

"Trish?"

She knew that voice, very well. Blinking her eyes repeatedly - the first move she's made - Trish swallowed the huge lump in her throat. Finally looking up towards the man that was saying her name. Looking into Jeff's eyes...she couldn't read them. He just wore a blank expression on his face.

"Co...co...congratulations." Trish choked out.

With that said, Trish did what her mind told her and quickly ran away, quickly trying to make it back to her hotel room. She heard Jeff call her name a few times but she didn't bother to stop. She just needed to be left alone.

Banging on her hotel door repeatedly, Trish felt the tears starting to drop. Then finally Maria opened the door.

"Trish, what's wrong?"

Running past the redhead, Trish ran towards her bed and collapsed on it.

"Trish, what's wrong?" that time it was Torrie's voice.

"You can tell me, you told me so." Trish cried.

"Wait, what? He said he didn't feel the same way?" Torrie asked.

"I never got to tell him," Trish cried, her mascara dripping down her face. "And I definitely know he does not feel the same way."

"You don't know that." Maria calmly said.

"Yes I do!" Trish raised her voice. "Jeff proposed to Candice. I'm such an idiot."

Normally the two Divas would clam Trish down and disagree but they were in shock right now. They were both speechless after the news.

"Jeff...pro...proposed to...Candice?" Maria stuttered, still in shock.

"Yea." Trish muttered before running away and locking herself in the bathroom.

"Wow." Torrie whispered.

"Wow." Maria agreed.

X-O-X-O

After the night Trish had, all she did was mope around the next day, and stayed in her hotel room. To say she was depressed, would be an understatement.

But her best friends, Torrie and Maria, refused for her to go on like this. That's why they were dragging her out of the room and to go clubbing with them. The WWE Superstars had V.I.P. treatment tonight and they were going to be the only ones in the club, so it should be a way to keep her mind off of the engagement....or so they thought.

"This is so stupid." Trish mumbled while getting out of the backseat of the car. "If all the WWE superstars are going to be here then you know Candice and Jeff will too."

"That's a possibility but it's a huge club, we'll help you just stay away from them." Torrie said sportively, while locking the rental car.

"Exactly and besides it's not like they will be the center of attention tonight." Maria said once they were entering the club.

"I guess your right." Trish sighed and entered the club, but stopped dead in her tracks. "What the..."

"I guess I'm wrong." Maria whispered.

"You think!" Trish yelled.

Yes, Maria was way wrong. 'Cause once they were in the club, there were pink balloons everywhere and a huge sign was on the wall, and in big bold letters read, CONGRATULATIONS CANDICE, and then in small tiny letters next to it read, and Jeff. But that wasn't even the worst part, Candice was sitting in a huge chair and everyone was around her, and she was showing off her ring.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Trish muttered. "Ok, I'm leaving!" Trish yelled and started going to the nearest exit.

"Oh no you don't!" Torrie yelled and grabbed her back into the club. "Just stay for a little bit."

"Fine." Trish replied stubbornly. "But I'm going to the bar and I'm buying a huge drink! Yea, and you girls can't stop me!"

"Alright, we'll meet you there in a second." Maria yelled at Trish who was almost at the bar already.

"Should we go and congratulate Candice?" Torrie said sarcastically.

"I guess." Maria shrugged. "Ready to put our fake faces on?"

"You bet." Torrie rolled her eyes and followed Maria. "I know I like pink but don't you think this is a bit too much?"

"Uh, yea!" Maria giggled and then the girls pushed themselves through the crowd of people and reached to where Candice was sitting with a bored looking Jeff on one side of her and Layla on the next.

"Torrie! Maria!" Candice squealed and went and gave the girls hugs. "I'm engaged! Well, Jeff and I are engaged but all that matters is that I'm engaged!"

"Congratulations!" Both girls replied, with the best fake smiles they can give.

"Aw, thank you!" Candice giggled. "Don't you love the sign and all the balloons? Layla did it, it's so fabulous, don't you think?"

"Totally." Maria replied sarcastically. Luckily for her the sarcasm was not noticed by Candice.

"Oh, you have to look at my ring! Isn't it gorgeous?" Candice giggled and placed her hand out in front of the two girls.

Maria grabbed her hand and looked at the engagement ring. "Oh, it's beautiful!" Maria smiled.

"Candi it is...it's..." Torrie stopped and looked at the ring. Squinting her eyes to look at it better, Torrie felt like she was having a sense of deja vu. The ring looked....familiar?

"Well what do you think?" Candice asked.

"It's gorgeous." Torrie smiled. "Where did Jeff buy it?"

"Oh, I asked but he wouldn't tell me." Candice said while she stared at her ring.

Torrie nodded and looked at it again. It was definitely familiar but she just didn't know where she knew it from.

X-O-X-O

Trish had only been in the club for 30 minutes and already she had about 5 shots of tequila and a couple of other alcoholic beverages. She had only one mission for tonight and that was to get drunk.

"Here you go Ms." the bartender said to Trish and put down a drink in front of her.

"Oh, thanks!" Trish giggled and took a sip of the drink. "But I didn't order this."

"Right, that gentlemen in the booth over there requested it for you." The bartender winked and then went back to helping the other customers.

Smiling, Trish turned around to see who this man was. "Damn it." Trish mumbled after seeing that it was Randy Orton who was in fact sitting in the booth with about 3 slutty looking woman sitting next to him practically forcing themselves on him. After making eye contact with the blonde Randy smirked and then blew her a kiss.

"I hate my life." Trish mumbled and put her head down on the bar.

But soon Trish felt the presence of someone sitting down next to her. "Hey."

Picking her head up, Trish formed a tiny smile. "Well hello yourself." Trish said and then took a huge sip of her drink.

"Are you trying to get drunk?" Ashley giggled.

"Maybe..." Trish giggled. "What are you doing here? I would think you would be with Matt...or Candice." Trish rolled her eyes at the last name.

"Yea but I wanted to see how you were. I knew you probably weren't doing so good after the uh... news." Ashley replied.

Taking another sip of her drink, Trish shrugged. "Why would you care?"

"Believe it or not I do care about you, Trish. I'm worried." Ashley honestly replied.

"Ashley, just tell me you told me so." Trish scoffed. "Remember fairy tales don't exist, your the one who told me that."

"I know, I'm sorry. I do feel bad though, if that helps."

"I guess." Trish shrugged. "Sorry, I think I'm drunk already."

Ashley giggled, "It's fine, Trish. Is it ok if I stay here with you though?"

"Sure, if you want to be with a depressing idiot."

"Your not an idiot-"

"Yes I am!" Trish cut her off. "Ash, who the hell was I to think that Jeff would just dump Candice, for me? He obviously loves her or else he wouldn't of proposed. I'm so stupid for believing that he felt the same way about me and that we would get back together. I'm an idiot."

"An idiot that's in love." Ashley smiled. "Now I know that I've been a bitch to you for the past few weeks but Trish I was just defending Jeff and Candice. But I just want you to know that I believe that you guys are meant to be together."

"Well how does it feel?" Trish asked and took another sip of her drink.

"How does what feel?" Ashley asked while taking the drink away from her.

"To know that your the only one who believes that." Trish sighed. "I used believe that but not anymore." Trish took another sip of her almost gone drink. "Jeff and me will never be together."

"Come here, you." Ashely sighed and gave Trish a hug. "It's going to be ok."

"No, it's not." Trish cried and put her head on Ashley's shoulder. "It's not going to be ok."

And Trish honestly believed that. It was over between Jeff and her. They would never be together. She had to move on now. It's over.

"Hey girls!" Maria, with Torrie by her side, happily greeted the two divas. "Everything ok?"

"Uh...it will be. Eventually." Ashley responded with a small smile.

"Maria, can I talk to you?" Torrie asked and pulled Maria into a deserted spot of the club.

"What's wrong?" Maria asked once Torrie stopped.

Torrie sighed. "Did Candice's ring.... like reminded you of something?"

"No." Maria shrugged. "I mean it's a beautiful ring but I've never seen it before. Why have you?"

"I'm not sure. I just, it's just something about that ring....I don't know but I know I've seen it before." Torrie replied and lightly bit the bottom of her lips.

"Well even if you did see it before it's no big deal. It's not like the ring means anything." Maria shrugged. "Now come on let's go back and make sure Trish is ok."

"Um...you go. I think I'm just going to stay here for a little bit, alright?" Torrie asked.

"If you want." Maria looked around. "It doesn't look like much fun here though."

"Yea, but I just need to think about something."

"Alright, have fun!" Maria giggled and ran off to go back to Trish.

Sitting down at the small booth, Torrie placed her head into her hands and thought about Candice's ring.

"Why does that ring look so familiar?" Torrie asked herself.

X-O-X-O

John Cena pushed himself through all the people in the crowded club. There were many people trying to start a conversation with the former champion but he wasn't up for it. He was searching for his girlfriend, whom he had not seen for a few hours. He basically only saw her for a second when she first got there. Now he had no idea where she was.

After another minute of searching and he finally found the Diva sitting by herself with a confused expression on her face. She looked like she was in deep thought about something.

"There you are!" John exclaimed, before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "What's up?"

"Hey..." Torrie muttered not even looking at John.

Playfully rolling his eyes at his girlfriend, John put his hand in front of her face and did his signature "You-can't-see-me" with his hand.

"Stop, I'm here." Torrie lightly chuckled and pushed his hand out of her face.

"You were staring into space." John laughed. "I haven't seen you all night. What's wrong?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Torrie replied, "Nothing."

Again John rolled his eyes since his girlfriend wasn't in much of a conversation mood. John looked around the club and stopped at seeing Candice, Jeff by her side, showing off her ring to random strangers.

"I can't believe Jeff and Candice are engaged-"

"I know! It's so weird!" Torrie cut him off. Apparently now she was in a conversation mood. "But you know what, for some strange reason I've seen that ring before..."

"You probably saw it before on your many, many, many shopping trips!" John laughed and a took a sip of his drink.

Ignoring his comment, Torrie shook her head. "No. This is different. It's like there's a story behind it and I...I..."

And that's when it finally hit her...

"So Jeffy, thank you so much for inviting me!" Torrie proudly said as she got out of the rental car.

Jeff rolled his eyes and loudly slammed the car door. "For the last time I did not invite you! You just overheard my conversation with Matt and then you invited yourself, hence the reason I found you hiding in the backseat of the car!"

Torrie slowly nodded, "That is correct but lets forget those details!" Torrie giggled and hooked her arm with Jeff's. "What matters is that I am here on this special day to help you pick out an engagement ring for my best friend!"

"I thought I was your best friend." Jeff said while they walked towards the small building.

"Your so gullible!" Torrie smirked.

"Thanks babe." Jeff sarcastically said and opened the door of the building for Torrie.

An hour had passed and they were still in the jewelry store. They probably looked over a hundred rings and if Jeff liked it, Torrie refused and made him look at a different ring.

"You know it's my ring, shouldn't I get the final say?" Jeff grumpily said.

"Well...No." Torrie said in a serious tone before getting distracted by another ring. "Oh look at this one! Pretty..."

Rolling his eyes at his friend's obnoxious behavior he walked to her and looked at what she was looking at.

"Actually that is pretty... Wait Torrie, look at the price!" Jeff yelled looking at the 6 figure number.

"And your point is?" Torrie asked.

"Uh....that's way too much....um how about something cheaper like....this one!" Jeff pointed to a different ring. Looking at the ring he was pointing at, Torrie look appalled and placed her hands over her chest.

"Jeff! It's for Trish not a damn hillbilly!"

"Wow, I feel bad for the man that ends up with you." Jeff muttered.

"Hey!" Torrie yelled and playfully smacked his arm.

"Wait, that reminds um a little birdie, otherwise known as John Cena, told me that you guy's have a date tonight...is this true?"

"I...uh...don't know what your talking about." Torrie blushed and awkwardly scratched the back of her neck.

"Uh-huh, sure." Jeff sarcastically said while a nerdy smile was placed on his face.

"I'm walking away, Jeffy." Torrie quickly said and walked away from her friend to look at more rings.

"Whatever." Jeff sighed and put his head down on the counter. After closing his eyes for a few seconds, Jeff lifted his head after seeing a ring through the glass-counter. "Excuse me, Miss?" Jeff called for the clerk who had been helping them. "Can I see that ring please?"

"Sure!" The perky clerk said and gently picked up the ring Jeff was interested in. "It's a beautiful ring and it's actually one of a kind. This is the only ring made like this."

Jeff lightly chuckled, "That reminds me of Trish." he smiled. "It's beautiful like her too."

"Let me see! Let me see!" Torrie ran towards Jeff, then finally smiled at his choice of a ring. "Now that is a beautiful ring! And look at the price, it's perfect. I love it!"

Jeff nodded. "Me too. It's the one...just like Trish."

Torrie slowly shook her head after finally realizing where she knew that ring from. It was Trish's. Jeff proposed to Candice with Trish's ring.

"Jeff Hardy, you are one stupid man." Torrie mumbled to herself.
