Tracy was feeling somewhat better after talking with Ric. Though she had to ask herself whether or not her dad was her true love because once you find it it's hard to let go and move on.
Then again who knows. She figured that she would just live her life and let whatever happens happen. Now at the bridal place she walked in. She saw Charlotte with a pretty blond, a women with reddish orange hair and a woman with brown hair.
"Hey Tracy! Okay girls this is Tracy Bautista. She and I have been buddies from way back when. Our fathers rolled together and that's how we got started. Tracy this is Becky Lynch, Carmella, and Bayley. Though Sasha Banks used to be with us but she is so in with Kevin Owens she forgot about me so it's just us," said Charlotte.
"Hey guys," said Tracy as Bayley ran over and hugged her. Tracy just hugged her back. She could tell this woman was a hugger and wore her heart on her sleeve. I sounded like a possible good friend to her.
"Aww Bayley is a sweetheart. She is like this so just accept it. Okay we are waiting on one person and she is running late. Guys Tracy is my maid of honor and we are waiting on Renee. She and I have become close since I moved into the compound so I asked her to be one of my bridesmaids. I hope you don't mind," said Charlotte.
"I do not. You, Z, and Renee are the only ones who know everything about me. Well I gave a lot up that night I cooked pizza's," said Tracy.
"Well I am glad to be friends with all of you. Young it's about damn time you came here. What did you lose track of time in between the sheets with Dean?" Charlotte teased.
"Oh shut up! Hey Tracy. Are you doing okay with everything?" the short haired blond asked as she hugged her also.
"Just going day by day. That's all I can do," said Tracy.
"Well we are here for you. Also I miss you. I really wish you would move home, but I understand that you want to live with your mother to be there for her," said Renee.
"I'm never moving back to the compound. Without Roman there is no need for me to ever live there again so when I do move out I will get my own apartment or move in with my friends John and Nicole or even Brianna and Zack. Never again will I live there," said Tracy.
"Okay okay lets just start looking for dresses. I have a few ideas for mine and then we'll look at yours," said Charlotte. No one else said anything as Charlotte began to pick out a few dresses to try on.
They always say that the brides take for ever to find the one but Charlotte was the exception to the rule. Her fifth dress was the one. It was an a line backless dress with v neck front that showed just the barest hint of cleavage. It had a long train and when Charlotte came out she looked like a goddess.
"That is the one. Get it girl," said Carmella.
"I have to agree with that one," said Becky.
"Beautiful," said Renee.
"Princess Charlotte Flair," said Bayely.
"It's beautiful and that is the one for you," Tracy said wiping a tear. "Forgive me everyone anything can bring tears to my eyes now days," she added.
"Okay girls the colors are going to be teal. I will let you get whatever dress you want as long as it teal with some exceptions. No long sleeves. It's going to be a June wedding in Florida so it's going to be hot. Another thing is nothing too low cut. Otherwise there is a lot to choose from ladies," said Charlotte.
They all were looking at the color and they had so many dresses to choose from. Though the ladies were glad that Charlotte was giving them leeway due to the fact everyone had a different build, style, and budget.
Tracy caught sight of one that would have been perfect if she was with Roman still, or the bar was going. Since it wasn't either she decided to shy away from it. Picking out another that was in more her budget she went into the dressing room and tried it on. It didn't look right on her.
Sighing she found another one and tried it on and it was the same thing. She was broken out of her thoughts by Renee.
"Why not try the one you were looking at and then shoved away? What's wrong with that one?" Renee asked.
"It's over my budget. My mom could help but since I went off on her I cannot ask her. Besides she just started working again," said Tracy.
"Get it, I'll pay for it. Just try it on," said Charlotte. Handing over the dress in her size she pointed to the dressing room. "Lets see it. It's my day and if that's the dress for you you are getting it no matter what. I know you are hesitant about spending so much, but I'll pay for half. Don't argue with me I insist," she added.
"Damn Miss Flair soon to bee Reigns has spoken. Give it up girl once she sets her mind on something she doesn't give up," said Carmella.
"So we going out tonight?" asked Becky.
"I'm thinking lets get a dinner and then hit Electrify for some dancing and have a girls night out. Tracy your ass is going also. The entire bridal party throwing down tonight and don't even try to talk yourself out of this," said Charlotte.
"Sounds good. You know I talked to your dad. He found me at the beach and he gave me some good advice. I'm going to take to an extent. I am never getting into another relationship again, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop going out. I will go out, hang with my friends, and get my business going. I will never forget Roman. Ever, but I will not stop living my life," said Tracy.
"Sweetie love is a wonderful thing. Why give up on it? Sorry just being nosey," said Becky.
"Okay if you lost Stephen how would you take it? Would you date right away or would you never date again?" asked Tracy.
"Well I would be devastated and stay single for a while. A year or two, but I wouldn't rule out love again. You see love comes at you at any age and any time and you cannot stop it. You were hell bent on not giving Roman the time of day and yet he broke past your defenses. It will happen again. It doesn't matter if you are almost nineteen or in your sixties, or just lost a lover. It sneaks up on you," said Charlotte.
"What if you lost Matt? Would you be saying the same thing as me?" asked Tracy.
"I see your point, but the way I see it he would want me to be happy. Matt told me something that Roman said to Matt, Jey, and Dean that day. I was asked not to repeat it but I will say that all Roman wants is for you to be happy," said Charlotte.
"Wow this shit is getting deep," Bayely said as she came around and hugged Tracy. "You are a wonderful woman and deserve someone to love you and treat you right. Though don't rush it, run from it, or force it. Just let it happen. You are such a nice person and I can see why Charlotte put up with your ass for so many years. Actually its more like you putting up with Charlotte's ass," she joked.
"Funny!" Charlotte exclaimed as everyone laughed as they picked out and tried on shoes to go with their dresses.
"You guys are so fun and I'm enjoying myself spending time with you all. Ney Ney you were the first one who befriended me when I had to move out of my parents house, and then Char you have been by besty through it all. And the rest of you I am so glad I met you," said Tracy.
"Well how about we blow this popsicle stand and turn our dresses in to be altered and head over to Tracy's mom's house and get ready for dinner and dancing," said Charlotte. "Oh I love you my bestie," said Charlotte.
"Love you to Naturegirl!" said Tracy.
"Oh shut up!"
Several hours later the group pulled up into the parking lot of Electrify. Tracy was driving the Navigator, her mom said she could borrow it to take her friends out, Charlotte was riding shotgun, Renee was behind Charlotte, Carmella was behind Tracy, and Bayely and Becky were in the very back.
"Okay lets hope this is a drama free night unlike the last time I was here," said Tracy.
"What happened last time?" asked Carmella as she sent a text to her boyfriend Big Cass or Cass and Bayely sent one to Baron Corben her boyfriend.
"Well I thought Sasha was going to fight Roman and he totally scared the shit out of me that night," said Tracy as they walked to the front of the line. Once again just like last time they were able to get in. Walking up to the bar they all ordered drinks accept Tracy who ordered just a straight Diet Cherrie Coke.
After the ladies got their drinks they headed to the dance floor. Tracy trusted this club enough to dance with the girls and when the song Timber by Pitbull came on she just let herself move to the music. She felt someone decide to push himself flush against her backside.
"How about you back off mister!" Tracy snapped at the guy.
"Why baby! That ass has it going on," the man said.
"Finn! Back off bro or I will knock the hell out of you," Becky snapped.
"Is there a problem?" Jey Fatu said coming on the scene and blocking Tracy from Finn.
"My brother is a dumbass so sorry about that. He is harmless though," said Becky.
"Are you okay?" asked Jey.
"I'm fine. He just startled me," said Tracy.
"Alright. Listen you are a sweet girl and I am so sorry for that one night. I was a dick and it killed me that I left bruises on you," Jey said hugging her.
"It's in the past and I am over and I have forgotten about it," said Tracy.
"I still feel bad sweetheart," said Jey as he hugged her again and walked away.
"Wow this is just some night," said Charlotte. "Hey Becky tell your brother that if he wants to keep is testicles in tact and your head screwed on tight tell him to watch his hands because even though Tracy is now single there are a lot of people looking out for him," she snapped.
Tracy wasn't paying any attention. She saw two people that she wanted to confront and knock the shit out of ever since she was kidnapped and taken to Nashville. Storming over to the pool table she looked right at the couple.
"You know what I thought you were my friend but you are nothing but a backstabbing bitch. And you, no wonder Brianna filed for divorce because you are nothing but a money hungry asshole!" Tracy snapped.
"Tracy I'm sorry. Bryan said that he could get me away from Cory if I helped him. I'm sorry," Paige said.
"And I needed the money and since I'm the only one left in the family I had to do something," said Bryan.
"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHITS!" Tracy yelled swinging a pool stick and hitting Bryan over the head breaking it. Then she swung and hit Paige in the face knocking her down.
"AUSTIN FIGHT!" Dwayne yelled as Austin, Bossman, and Andrew Martin came and separated them.
"PAIGE AND BRYING FUCKED UP MY LIFE! I LOST MY DAD AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THEM. FUCKING ASSHOLES. I WILL FUCKING BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU!" Tracy screamed.
"Calm it down!" Dwayne said walking over. "You two get the hell out and you are no longer allowed in here," he said.
"Get to stepping bitches. Sweetie its okay. Just calm down. Look I'll drive back home," said Carmella.
"What happened sweetie?" asked Charlotte running over with Becky, Renee, and Bayely.
"Paige and Bryan set me up for being kidnapped to Nashville," said Tracy.
"Alright you are staying at the compound tonight and don't even argue. You have the all of us and face it it's your home now despite what all is happening. Tracy was just on the verge of a mental breakdown. Renee grabbed the keys and lifted the middle seat and set Tracy up front between her and Charlotte. Since Renee didn't like to drink at clubs she drove.
"Well Bayely and Carmella can share Tracy's room with her and Becky you can get the guest room if that's alright," said Charlotte.
"Actually could you drop me at home. I no offense but I just don't like staying way from home," said Becky. "Though I'll ride with my brother," she said getting out of the car and rushing over to him.
"What the fuck was that about?" Carmella asked not being afraid to voice a concern or an opinion.
"She fears the Shield and that's why she is afraid to stay at the compound," said Charlotte.
"You know what I have nothing to fear from them because for one I have never nor would I ever do shit to them and two they do not abuse innocent women. I have no problem crashing there," said Carmella.
"Slumber party!" Bayely said.
"At least it's a California king in the room I stay in," said Tracy. Charlotte smiled seeing Tracy slowly coming out of her shell. Though she doubted that she would turn around in one night. This thing with Belinda and Shawn really threw her through a loop and was thankful that her dad talked to her.
A/N: I don't see Paige and Bryan living much longer. Hope you enjoy!
