Chapter 21
DAVE'S POV
I stood awaiting the news of my family. Dr. Glee was walking towards me and his face was so unreadable I just needed to know.
"Excuse me Mr. Bautista your wife is going to be fine, I am sorry I didn't get to you sooner I had to inform someone else of their loss" said Dr. Glee.
"And the baby?" questioned Dave afraid of the answer
"Perfectly healthy, although I must warn you Elizabeth has some cuts and bruises, but she will be fine" said Dr. Glee.
My heart jumped with joy as the doctor told me my family was fine. I looked up at Stephanie, Ric and Paul. They were staring at me so I went over to them finally.
"She's fine and the baby is fine" I told them and I heard them all sigh with relief.
"That's great Dave" said Paul.
"Yeah how are you Paul?" I asked.
"Good." said Paul.
And he did. He had a cast on his left arm, a cut across his forehead, and a bandage on his left ankle. He was lucky he got out alive.
END DAVE'S POV
"You know the media is going to be all over this" said Stephanie.
"Yeah I doubt your dad is going to be happy" said Ric.
"Oh trust me my father is already mad" said Stephanie.
"I better go" said Dave.
"Aren't you going to see Elizabeth" asked Stephanie.
"I will just not yet" said Dave.
"But Dave" started Stephanie but watch as Dave left.
Paul looked at his friend and knew what was going on. He thought he brought the one woman he finally truly loved pain and he didn't want to do that anymore.
"He needs space Steph" said Paul.
He walked over to the nurses desk and asked to see Elizabeth.
"Room195" said the nurse.
So Paul walked down to her room and took a deep breathe and opened the door.
"Elizabeth?" said Paul.
"Dave?" said Elizabeth as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"No I'm sorry Liz, he isn't here yet" said Paul.
"Oh" said Elizabeth.
"How are you?" asked Paul.
"Okay" said Elizabeth.
"You're a horrible liar" said Paul.
"I'm in a little pain" said Elizabeth.
"And I'm guessing it's not because of the accident" said Paul as he pulled up a seat by her bed.
"Why isn't Dave here?" asked Elizabeth.
To Paul she looked like a lost child and she was. He felt pain looking at the fragile girl before him.
"He went to get some fresh air the guy has been here worried out of his mind about you" said Paul.
"Oh I'm sorry to make him worry" said Elizabeth
"Well Dave was over worried about you, he took it to the next level really. He really cares about you and loves you very much remember that when the deal is over" said Paul.
"You know?" asked Elizabeth.
"I'm his best friend Liz" said Paul.
"I wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon, even before the baby I couldn't leave him because I fell in love with him" said Elizabeth.
"Yeah well don't stop loving him." said Paul.
"What do you mean" asked Elizabeth.
"Just keep loving him and remember he loves you" said Paul as he got up to leave.
He left Elizabeth thinking about his cryptic words. What did they mean?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave walked out of the hospital tears in his eyes. He was going to walk out on her, he needed to walk out on her if he didn't he would just cause her and the baby more pain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 weeks had passed and Dave hadn't come to see Elizabeth at all. Paul's words finally dawned on her that it meant he was leaving. The pain her heart felt was unbearable, it felt worst then when she knew her mom had died. She knew that she was now truly broken, if anything else happened to her she knew she would lose it.
"Liz it's time" said Paul as he showed her the wheel chair.
She was leaving, going home but where was home for her know?
"Your going to be with me" said Stephanie as though she was reading her mind.
Elizabeth looked up at Stephanie and just nodded not uttering a word. Stephanie could see that Elizabeth was truly broken.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile
Dave sat in his office drinking another bottle of Jack Daniels, it was the only thing that could stop the pain he felt. He stared at the picture of him and Elizabeth. She was so beautiful, and so full of life, he just felt that he kept draining her of that. He couldn't believe he left her either but somewhere he thought it was a good idea, now he was regretting it.
The phone rang and he noticed Paul's cell phone come up.
"Hello?" asked Dave.
"Dave, she's back at our house" said Paul.
"How is she?" asked Dave.
"The honest truth broken that her husband left her" said Paul.
"Look you know I only caused her pain" said Dave.
"But man she's pregnant with your kid" said Paul.
"She's better off without me" said Dave.
"No she needs her husband. Dave she won't eat and it's affecting the baby" said Paul.
"I can't do it" said Dave
"Be a man and come over here and tell her you love her" said Paul.
"I can't" said Dave
"You're a coward" said Paul as he hit the end button.
Dave held the phone as the dial tone now rang in his ears. She deserved more, better, not him, she would never deserve a man like him because she was so much more.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months passed and Elizabeth started to get a little bit better she started eating again for the baby and working out with Paul. She was trying to get her life back on track.
Meanwhile Dave had moved to Smackdown with the World Heavy Weight Championship Belt. The Evolution story line was finally all played out and now he was flying solo on Smackdown.
He regretted his decision everyday and wanted to tell Elizabeth that he loved her and needed her but he couldn't do it. He was a coward just like Paul said months before but he couldn't see her face.
"Hey Dave telephone" said Rey.
"Thanks" said Dave.
"Hey" said Paul. Through it all Paul understood Dave but hated him for leaving Elizabeth, but he stayed friends with because he was his best friend.
"Hi. Is everything alright?" asked Dave, immediatley worried about Elizabeth and the baby.
He had 6 months to think about his life and his wife's life. Of course he wanted to be apart of his child's life but he messed up. He was scared, confused, nervous. He still stood behind the fact that he only caused her pain but he wanted to see the baby and her. He terribly missed her.
"Fine everything is fine. I wanted to let you know Elizabeth has a date tonight" said Paul
"Why are you telling me?" asked Dave.
"To see if you still have feelings for her man" said Paul.
"Of course I have feelings for her, but I screwed up she would never take me back" said Dave.
"She still loves you. Steph and I hear her crying all night long" said Paul.
"Paul you know, listen I got to go" said Dave as he hung up the phone. He pushed her away, and now she was dating someone else. He couldn't blame her but the fact that some other man was going to touch her the way he touched her made his blood boil.
"Dave your on in 5" said Rey.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elizabeth was putting the finishing touches on her outfit when Paul knocked on the door.
"Hey Liz Carlito is here" said Paul.
"Thanks Paul" said Elizabeth.
"You look pretty" said Paul.
She was wearing a black halter dress which ended at her knees. She was around 7 months pregnant and was shocked when Carlito asked her out. She felt disgusting and yet he told her she was beautiful it made her feel good.
"Hi Carlito" said Elizabeth as she slowly walked down the steps.
"Hello Beautiful" said Carlito. He didn't care that she was pregnant she was still beautiful in his eyes.
His words made her cheeks turn a little red.
"These are for you" said Carlito as he handed her a bouquet of Lilies, which were the flowers of her birth month.
"Lilies" said Elizabeth.
"For your birth month" said Carlito.
Elizabeth gasped a little at the thought. He cared so much to get the flowers of her birth month
"Thank you" said Elizabeth.
"And might I say you look stunning" said Carlito as he took her hand and lead her to his car.
He took her to a Mexican restaurant seeing that she was in the mood for Mexican. They ordered and then talked a little, then the food came, they ate and talked more. Then Carlito took her to a comedy club where Elizabeth had never laughed so much in her life. She was having a ball but there was something missing, she had no spark with him. It felt to her that he was just a friend and nothing more. After the club Carlito took her back to Paul's house.
"I had a really good time" said Carlito.
"So did I" said Elizabeth.
"But I'm sensing a but in here" said Carlito.
"It didn't feel right" said Elizabeth.
"Yeah I know but I had a great time." said Carlito
"Me too but I can only see you as a friend that is if you want to be one" said Elizabeth.
"I would love that. Goodnight Liz" said Carlito.
"Goodnight Carlito" said Elizabeth as she kissed him on the cheek and walked towards the house.
"Lizzy how did it go?" asked Steph as she came down.
"It was nice but we both view each other as friends. Let's face it Steph I'm only going to want Dave" said Elizabeth.
Stephanie felt bad for her friend but also knew she was right. Elizabeth never looked at any other man the way she looked at Dave.
"I'm sorry this happened to you" said Stephanie.
"I have to move on with my child Steph" said Elizabeth as tears started to run down her face.
"The only way to move on is to divorce him" said Stephanie.
"I know and I have to but I can't call a lawyer can you please do it?" asked Elizabeth.
"Of course" said Stephanie.
This was it, Elizabeth was taking back her life and no one was going to run it but her.
