Reason 3

Chapter 14: Team Trish

"Well this is fun..." Trish mumbled as she tapped the desk with her newly painted nails. Trish was dying of boredom. It was around noon and it was Saturday and here she was sitting at a desk in a boring plain hotel room all by herself. That was her fault of course but she didn't want to think about it.

Trish looked at the the clock, hoping time would of past, "Damn it!" She sighed as she saw only 3 minutes had past since the last time she checked. Trish sighed and ran her hands through her hair. It was a perfect Saturday but she couldn't enjoy it mainly because of the town she was in.

Cameron, North Carolina.

It's not like Trish hated it there, in fact it was one of her favorite places but now she couldn't stand it. She used to live there for four years before she moved back to Canada. This was the first time she had been there in years. Of course that was all thanks to Raw, where they would be having a show on Monday.

Trish tapped her foot and stared at her phone. She wished anyone would call her to see if they wanted to do something, even though Trish was ninety-nine percent positive she would turn them down. All thanks to this crappy place she was in. But still it would be nice to talk to someone.

Maria had went to the mall with Mickie James and Kelly Kelly. Maria asked her if she wanted to come but Trish declined cause she had been to that mall many times before with Jeff. She didn't want to be reminded of the past.

Then there was Torrie and of course she was with John Cena....as usual. They went out for the day, they asked her if she wanted to join them but again she declined, who knows where they were going and besides she didn't want to feel like the third wheel.

And Trish didn't know what Ashley was doing. Normally Trish would call her and see what she's up to but even though they have become friends again, it's just not like before.

Lastly but definitely least, there was Randy Orton. They were actually supposed to go on their date today but he called Trish last night and had to reschedule it for tomorrow instead since he had just gotten a call about a last minute autograph signing. She didn't even know where he was planning on taking her for their date, it was probably going to be somewhere with mirrors so he can stare at himself the whole time.

So there you have it, this is why Trish is in her misery right now, all alone.

"Kill me now..." Trish said as she laid her head down on the desk.

About a minute later though, their was a clicking noise coming from outside the door and a few seconds later the door opened.

"Trishy!" Trish's roommate greeted her in a bubbly voice as she waddled in with a ton of shopping bags.

"Hey Maria." Trish happily smiled as she stood up to greet her friend. "Did you have fun shopping with Mickie and Kelly?"

"Yes! It was awesome!" Maria giggled as she threw all of the bags onto her bed. "You know, I've shopped with Mickie before but never with Kelly. She is like a professional!"

"Even better then Torrie?" Trish raised an eyebrow.

"Way better!"

"Wow, I never thought someone would be a better shopper then Torrie!" Trish chuckled. "I'll have to go with you girls next time."

"Definitely, but you should of came today you would of had a lot of..." Maria trailed off once seeing Trish's mood turning sour. "Um...anyways, we were thinking about going to the movies. You have to come with."

"No thanks." Trish shrugged.

"What, no! I heard it a great movie theater with-"

"Oh, it is." Trish cut her off. "I've been there before....many years ago."

"Oh...I understand." Maria sighed. "But honey, just because you once lived here with Jeff does not mean that you can't enjoy your stay here."

"Too many memories. I don't want to go out and think about them."

Maria playfully rolled her eyes, "Fine! I'll give up while I'm behind." She giggled as she jumped onto Trish's bed. "I guess Kelly and Mickie will just have to go to the movies without me."

"No! No, your going with them. Don't let my misery effect you. You should go out and have fun."

"Trish, are you sure?"

"Yes." Trish smiled. "Now lets just change the subject....show me what you bought!"

"Oh ok! Yay!" Maria clapped her hands as she went to her bags. "Guess what, I got my outfit for the disaster wedding!"

"I love how we call it that!" Trish giggled but stopped once she saw Maria grab a bag that read 'Design Your Own T-Shirt'. "Wait, Mara did you buy a t-shirt?"

"Yes, I did." Maria nonchalantly replied.

"Ria, you can't wear a t-shirt to a wedding!" Trish yelled. "Your supposed to wear a dress or a skirt....or something."

"Relax, I can put it over my dress or I can wear a skirt with it." Maria simply replied, as Trish laughed at her friend. "Anyways, you know how there's a store in a mall where you can make your own t-shirts?"

"Yes..."

"Ok well I did that and...look!" Maria took out a white t-shirt, and with big black letters reads "TEAM TRISH".

"Oh my god!" Trish laughed. "Maria, your one of Jeff's best friends. I don't think he would appreciate you wearing that on his wedding day!"

"But....remember it's not a wedding....It's a disaster wedding, so I think it's alright." Maria winked.

"Oh, Maria you are one of a kind."

"Thank you!" Maria giggled. "But you haven't seen the best part...look at the back!"

Maria turned the t-shirt around to reveal a picture of Candice....with a big red X covering her face.

Trish's eyes widened and then she started to laugh uncontrollably, as she fell off the bed to roll on the floor.

Maria shrugs, "I told you that was the best part."

X-O-X-O

"Whoo! Yes baby, that's how we like it! Take that Jeffy!"

Jeff Hardy looked at the girl who was screaming and then towards her boyfriend, whom was winking at her.

"Dude...did you have to bring her?" Jeff groaned as he dribbled the basketball.

"Of course she's my own personal cheerleader...even if she is a little..." John trailed off as he tried to find the right word.

"Loud? Crazy? Insane? Obnoxious?" Jeff helped him out. "Any of those sound correct?"

"Um...all of the above...yea." John whispered before he turned around to smile at his girlfriend. "Your doing great babe!"

Torrie giggled as she shook the pair of pom-poms that were in her hands.

"Besides your the one who invited me over and you should know by now that we're a two for one deal." John chuckled as Jeff rolled his eyes.

"Hey! You girls better stop the talking and better start playing! I'm getting bored." Torrie whined before she got distracted by something else. "Hey - but how cute do I look in this outfit?" Torrie giggled as she spun around in her cheerleader uniform. Which she had just bought today for this special occasion.

"Adorable." Jeff sarcastically replied making John hit him with the basketball. "Ouch, dude! You know what, you and Torrie are made for each other....you both just love to hit me!"

"Let's just start playing." John laughed as he bounced the ball. "Now if I remember correctly I was winning by how many points?"

"Um who knows...let's just start over." Jeff replied with a shrug.

"No!" Torrie made her voice known. "My man was winning by 10 points!"

"Oh, yea your right!" John smirked. "Thanks babe!"

"Ugh...again I ask why did you bring her!" Jeff groaned.

John chuckled, "Hey Torrie might be insane when it comes to our basketball game but at least she's not planning a huge, pink wedding...like your insane fiancé."

"Oh god...please don't remind me. She just showed me the the suit she wants me to wear...it's pink!" Jeff rolled his eyes as John laughed. "Hey you shouldn't be laughing 'cause your going to be one of my groomsmen....your going to have to wear the pink suit too! Ha!"

"No!" John shook his head. "No way! Look your a man, just tell her no on the pink. It's not that hard."

"Believe me...it is." Jeff sighed. "I guess this is the price I have to pay for loving her."

"Uh-huh...sure." John rolled his eyes. "After all you two do love each other."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing." John quickly replied. "All I'm saying is when you supposedly love someone, you should be happy, right?"

"Well I am happy John." Jeff shot back.

"Sure. You seem...happy." John replied with the sarcasm clear.

"I don't want to hear this right now lets just get back to the game." Jeff bitterly said as he took back the basketball.

"Fine, but just remember you'll have to face this problem someday."

"I don't have a problem! Candice and I are fine. Were getting married, end of story."

"Sure, Candice loves you. You love Candice, everybody is happy. Whatever you need to tell yourself."

"John, I didn't invite you over to have you play Dr. Phil, so please let's just get back to what we should be doing." Jeff dribbled the ball and walked away.

"Alright." John shrugged and turned to face Torrie and mouthed, "I tried."

Torrie frowned as she sat down on the ground. She now wasn't in a cheerful mood.

X-O-X-O

Trish had a small smile on her face as she ended the dvd. She had missed the newest episode of One Tree Hill but luckily for her Maria taped it. That occupied about an hour of her time...but now what was she supposed to do?

Maria had recently left to go to the movies with Mickie and Kelly. So she was now alone again.

"Maybe I should see what Ash is doing." Trish mumbled to herself.

But her thoughts were soon cut off though as her phone started to ring. As she started to get excited Trish ran to pick up the device...only to groan a few seconds later after reading the name.

"Yes?"

"Hey Stratus....I would introduce myself but you already know who it is...right?"

"Yes Orton....I have caller I.D." Trish rolled her eyes. "What's up?"

"Well, I just wanted to confirm our date for tomorrow. Randy Orton will pick you up at at five, is that alright?"

"It's fine with Stratus." Trish laughed.

"Excellent. Bye beautiful."

"Bye..." Trish sighed and through the phone down on the bed.

She still wasn't sure whether or not this date was a good idea. Probably not but she just didn't care anymore.

Trish shrugged if off as she turned on the tv again but a minute later her cell phone rang again.

"Now what does he want?" Trish groaned as she picked up the phone. "Wait that's not Randy. Where have I seen this number before?" The number looked familiar to Trish but she just couldn't think of who it was. Eventually she answered, "Hello?"

"Ms. Stratus! Is that you?"

"...Yes." Trish replied. She still had no idea who it was, it was obviously an older man, with a southern accent.

"Well it is good to hear your voice, 'My young lady'!"

Trish softly smiled after hearing the man call her "My young lady". She now knew exactly who it was.

"Mr. Hardy?"

"My young lady! How many times have I told you? You have to call me Gil!"

Trish giggled, "Right sorry...I forgot."

"That is fine. So where are you?"

Trish looked around the room, "Um...in a hotel room."

"That is no place for my young lady to be in! I know your here in North Carolina. You have to visit!"

"I'd love to but I don't think I'm allowed to..."

"Nonsense! If your talking about those boys of mine or even that girl not wanting you to see me...well then to hell with them! I want to see my young lady!"

Trish laughed, "Um alright then. I can be there in half an hour."

"Great! I'll see you soon, my young lady!"

Trish giggled as she ended the call. It was good hearing Gilbert Hardy's voice again. And it was even better hearing him call her "My young lady". That always was his way of saying the daughter he never had. Cause the two of them did have a father-daughter like relationship.

But Trish just couldn't help but to wonder...why did he want to see her so badly?

X-O-X-O

"Thank you so much for having me over. The food was excellent, like always." Trish giggled as she sat opposite of Gilbert Hardy in his living room.

"Thanks, my young lady. I'm glad you came." Gilbert gave her a sincere smile.

Trish had been at the familiar house for almost two hours now. They had just been talking and catching up as he had cooked her dinner. It was a little awkward for her to be back in the house that she had been in numerous times before. Not much had changed, there was still the same fourniture, the same smell of the cinnamon candle burned in the house, and there was still the same family pictures all around the house.

Only there was one new picture. It actually took the place of another picture. The brown frame by the fireplace now holds a picture of Jeff and Candice, which it previously had a picture of Jeff and Trish.

"So, we've talked about me, we've talked about you...so now I think it's time to talk about my son and that girl."

Trish laughed, "Candice?"

"Candice..." He nodded. "Oh yes, Candice Michelle. Now don't get me wrong she is a sweet girl and I like her a lot. She's great with Jeff....but she's not my young lady."

"Um...I guess it just wasn't meant to be with Jeff and me-"

"Bullshit!" He cut her off, as Trish looked at him surprised. "The two of you are meant to be together. I don't care what you say or he says. You two will be together, cause from what I can tell, the two of you really do love each other."

"Jeff and Candice are engaged." Trish added as Gilbert rolled his eyes.

"I know, but my young lady, it will all work out." He stopped for a few seconds before he continued. "It's all in the eyes, Trish." Trish swallowed, he just said her name. In the past he only used it if he was really serious about something. "Looking into your eyes right now I can see that you still love Jeff. Whenever I say his name...your eyes sparkle. But I can also see the look of defeat, I can tell you don't have faith anymore. And from what you've been telling me it seems like you have given up. But Trish please don't give up. Cause I can honestly say, that I think Jeff hasn't yet. I believe he just is too afraid to admit it."

He smiled at Trish, whom didn't even blink. "Look, Jeff may be engaged to that girl....to Candice but I honestly believe that it won't be forever. Everything happens for a reason and everything will fall into place. It may take a week, it may take a few month, it can even take a year!" The enthusiasm in his voice was quite clear. "Just don't give up."

Trish didn't know what to say, she was lost for words. Finally she found her voice, "So is this why you invited me over? So you could tell me all this?"

"Yes. You always need someone to tell you the truth." Gilbert smiles but then moves closer to Trish and whispers, "But I also wanted to tell you that I'm rooting for you. I'm on Team Trish."

He winks at her before he leans back on the couch. Trish giggled and lightly smiled.

Trish now had a lot to think about. Maybe she had given up.

One thing was for sure though, that Trish never backed down from a fight. Right now Candice was in the lead...maybe not for long.

Alright, now there wasn't much to this chapter but basically just someone is finally telling Trish not to give up, cause she has lately. And another point to this chapter is that it's going to be like the last calm one because the next chapter there is going to be major DRAMA starting. So be prepaired for that!

Anyway, please REVIEW :D

Next Chapter: Because of a blizzard the electricity goes out, so everyone gathers together for the night and of course secrets get told.

P.S. I'm skipping Trish and Randy's date, but you'll find out how it went in the next chapter.
