"Hi, what can I get for you?" The curly-red-headed waitress asked Becca and Taby.
"Umm I'll have the breakfast special please." Taby answered.
"How would you like your eggs?"
"Scrambled and, ah, instead of the sausage can I just have bacon please."
"Sure and what kind of toast?"
"White please. And to drink I'll just have an orange juice."
"Small or large?"
"Small, thank you."
"And how about you?" The waitress asked as she turned to take Becca's order.
"I'll just have a coffee thanks."
"Ok," She smiled, "I'll be right back with your drinks."
"Thank you." They answered her in unison.
Becca was about to ask Taby where she wanted to hang out today when she froze at the look on her face. She looked confused.
"I thought that you were starving."
"I was, but now my stomach is a little queasy."
"Still? I thought that you said that it was nothing and you're still feeling nauseous. Becca is there something wrong?"
Becca so did not want to talk about this right now because she knew where Taby was going to bring this conversation. She even contemplated the explanation herself, but refused for it to be true so she just went on ignoring it and that's what she planned to do for as long as she could.
"Look Taby, I said it was nothing and it's nothing ok? So what do you feel like doing after this?" She asked trying to change the subject quickly.
"How about we take you to see a doctor?" She asked casually.
"Nice try, Captain Obvious, but we are so not going to a doctor. I don't need to see one."
"Becca, how many times have you heard your patients say that there is nothing wrong with them?"
"All the time. But what does—"
"Exactly and how many of those times has there really been something wrong with them?"
Becca hated it when Taby trapped her like this. There was just no way in hell that she was going to go to a doctor. Even though Taby was most likely right, Becca just refused to admit it.
"See, I'm right. So we are going after breakfast."
"No we aren't."
"But what if you're p—"
"I'M NOT! And will you please not say that so loud!" Becca hissed.
"Oh my God!" Taby said with a look of realization on her face.
"What?"
"You think you are, don't you?"
"Think I'm what?" Becca asked confused.
"Do you really want me to say it?"
Becca realized what Taby was talking about. "No I do not think I am. Now can we just please drop this?"
"I won't stop talking about this until you go see a doctor."
Becca was about to talk when the waitress had come with their drinks. "Here you go. Your food should be done shortly." She told Taby.
"Thanks." She answered and looked back to Becca. "Now, are you going or am I going to have to keep begging you all day? And don't think I'll be discreet in front of people…"
Becca was getting really annoyed now. As much as she loved Taby she just wished that she would drop it.
"Hun, I know you care, but please I'll go when I'm ready, ok?" She said dishonestly just to get Taby off her ass.
The waitress came back quickly and dropped Taby's food off. "Enjoy." She said cheerfully and walked away after Taby thanked her.
Taby took a bite of her bacon and continued to needle Becca. "You're lying to the wrong person. Don't forget that I know you better than you know yourself."
"And I've always hated that about you." Becca joked.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't think that joking around is going to make me forget the matter at hand. We are going to the doctor's after I eat."
"Look, I didn't want to do this, but you give me no choice. If you want to keep talking about this then I'll be forced to talk about John. I know it's a low blow, but, Hun, I really need you to let me handle this myself."
Becca officially despised herself right now for even mentioning his name to her, but what other choice did she have? Taby just wouldn't give up and Becca did not want to talk about this any further and knowing Taby's persistent personality Becca just had to.
Taby had a void expression as she continued to eat and talk like nothing was going to disturb her. "Becca blackmailing me with something so stupid will not stop me from taking you to a doctor's today."
Becca loved Taby, but this was it. If Taby was going to talk about this in front of people then Becca had a solution: avoid Taby and everyone else today. And as if her stomach knew that she needed an exit excuse, her insides churned and she knew what that meant. So, she got up and looked at Taby.
"Thanks for breakfast and I'll see you whenever you get back to the room." She said and left without waiting for Taby to react or respond.
Becca walked quickly up the stairs and opened her room door. Once she was in and the door was shut she ran into the bathroom and lifted up the toilet seat. After she finished, she flushed the toilet and brushed her teeth and went to lie down on her bed.
'Please God, if there is any luck at all in my life; please don't let it be true. If what Taby thinks is true just please make it go away!' She desperately thought.
Becca decided to watch TV to take her mind off of things. She grabbed the remote from the night stand and flipped it to E! where Keeping Up With The Kardashians was showing.
John finished with his last rep and sat up from the weight bench. Well, obviously working himself to death was not going to help his guilt. After Randy had left his room John had decided to head to the gym for a workout and he's been down here ever since. Now that the gruesome workout was over he was pissed that it did nothing to take his mind off of what he did to Taby. How the hell could he cheat on the woman he loved with some whore at a club?! It was beyond him to even guess at this point. John got up and wiped himself down with a towel and hung it around his neck.
He walked out of the gym and into the lobby and the sight before him made him actually want to cry some more. How's that for a fucking sissy!? A grown man; a wrestler for God's sake, crying over a woman. And John Cena of all people…a man who used to sleep around almost as much as Randy did. Taby was sitting on a couch in the lobby reading a magazine. John figured that some more groveling couldn't hurt…even if she didn't want to talk to him or see him he was fine as long as she would just listen.
John walked up to her and sat down. She barely even blinked at his existence. But he couldn't blame her after what he did.
"Ah, Taby?" He said cautiously.
Taby looked up with no emotion in her eyes and stared at him. "Oh, hey John." She said and looked back down to the magazine.
John was very confused now. She just talked to him like he was some stranger that she just met and was being all polite to. John scratched his head and continued.
"I was, um, well, I was wondering if we could maybe talk."
She looked back up at him and put the magazine down. "Sure. What about? Work? Sports? The weather?"
"Uh no. I was wondering if we could talk about this morning and what you saw…"
"We already talked about that, John. Remember?"
"Yes, but I didn't get a chance to explain…"
"Oh, there's no need. You did me a favor remember? Now I can live my life and move on. So, is there anything else because I was just about to go to my room."
"I know you hate me but—"
"I don't hate you, John. I'm just busy. So if you're done…"
"Taby, don't be like that. Talk to me! I know I hurt you, please just don't act like there was nothing between us."
"Of course there wasn't nothing. We dated and we liked each other and we broke up. It happens and life moves on and so should we."
"I know I hurt you and I don't want to move on because I—"
"We can't change what happens in the past, we just have to live with it, ok? And you didn't hurt me I was just shocked that you were capable of doing something like that because I thought you were…well I thought you were different, but it just happened to turn out that all men are exactly alike. They will cheat no matter what."
"But I'm really not like that and you know it!"
"John what I knew was a lie. You aren't the man I thought you were. Now let's just forget about it and move on, ok?"
"I don't want to and I don't want you to either! Taby I love you! And I know you feel the same way!"
"The sooner you realize that it's over John, the better, ok? Now I really have to go."
"Didn't you hear me? I said I love you!"
"No you don't…and I don't either. You cheating was meant to happen. It just means that we weren't meant to be together."
"Don't say that! I do love you and we are meant to be together. I just made a mistake. Please don't end it over that."
Taby smiled tightly and got up to leave. "How could you forget already John?"
"Forget what?" He asked confused.
"It wasn't me who ended it." She said calmly and walked away to the elevator.
Jeff was all packed and ready to go. Since he had two days off this week he had decided that those two days would be spent apologizing to Rachael. He headed down stairs to hand in his key card to the desk clerk. After he did that he went in search of Cody Rhodes. He figured that if anyone knew the Orton's address it was him or his father. It must've been Jeff's lucky day because in the lobby, returning from what looked like the gym was none other than Cody. Before he could get to the elevators, Jeff caught up with him.
"Yo, Cody! Wait up!" He yelled as he jogged over to him.
"Hey, man. What's up?" Cody asked once Jeff had reached him.
"Nothin' really. You?"
"Just getting' back from my work out. Looks like you're leaving. Where to?" Cody asked referring to Jeff's luggage.
"It's funny you should mention that because that's why I was looking for you."
"You might wanna fill in the blanks…I'm a little confused."
"You know how I'm dating Orton's sister?"
Cody laughed. "Who doesn't know? After that whole locker room fiasco pretty much everyone found out."
"Ah, yes. Good times." Jeff joked. "But anyways I wanted to ask you something."
"Shoot."
"You know their address?"
"Who? Randy's old man?"
"Yeah. I was thinkin' of visiting Rachael while I have my days off."
"Aw well isn't that just cute." Cody joked.
"Ok, ok. You've had your fun. Now do you know it or not?"
"Yeah, they've lived in the same house since Randy was little."
After Cody had given him the directions to the house, Jeff took a cab to the airport and waited for the plane to board. While he waited he decided to call Rachael's phone one more time to see if she would pick up, even though he knew that she wouldn't. And surprise surprise….she didn't answer. Well, it was only a matter of time before he saw her so he figured that he could be patient and wait until then to see her.
Before he knew it the plane began to board and people started to file on. Thank God he was flying first class because that meant that he was one of the first to get on.
"Ugh finally!" Sam said.
"I know! It took freakin forever for the damn plane to board!" Lexi said as she and Sam made their way over to their seats.
Sam did not waste any time as soon as she got up. The first thing she did was shower and when she was getting out Lexi had come in and began to get ready herself. Sam was too preoccupied earlier to ask Lexi for the details of her night, but now since she was finally getting away from the most horrible vacation ever she was relaxed enough to talk about it.
"So, Lex, we never did talk about your night. I take it you and John hit it off?"
"Did we ever! I tell you he is one incredible motherfucker in bed! I swear! And a gentleman too. He actually used a condom without me asking him. That is a definite change from the losers I'm used to sleeping with."
"Wow. That's great! So did his loser girlfriend find out?"
Lexi laughed. "She did more than find out. She walked in and found us in bed this morning."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, it was great. But damn she was pissed. If you thought you could swear when you're angry, then you never met this chick!"
"Really?"
Lexi nodded her head. "Mhmm. So how did it go with you and lover boy? Was he as drunk as his friend?" Lexi asked eagerly.
Sam froze at the thought of last night. She had always been so strong when it came to holding herself together, but this was threatening to make her lose it. She was always able to ignore Randy's hurtful rejections, but last night's was more than a rejection; it was a slap in the face and it stung like all hell. Letting go of your first love was never easy and that's what Sam was starting to do; she was beginning the process of getting crushed by her first love. It was too bad that she was too naïve to notice it any earlier because she could've saved her heart from being torn apart right now.
Sam's silence and watery eyes gave her away to her best friend and she could care less right now.
"Oh my God. Sam what happened? Are you ok?" She asked concerned.
"Nothing. I'm fine."
"Samantha Jasmine Fisher I know you too well and I know that it's not just nothing. Now tell me what happened."
"Last night made me realize how much of a jerk Randy really is. I can't believe that I thought I loved him for so long."
"Didn't you realize that he was a jerk those millions of times that he cheated on you?" Lexi asked.
Sam glared at her. "Thanks for bringing that up Lexi. You're such a great friend." She replied sarcastically.
"I'm sorry. But really I tried to tell you that he was a jerk. He even tried getting with me and you thought it was my fault and you never forgave me until he left."
"I know, I know. I'm such an idiot for that. But no more. I'll forget about him and move on. Besides he's with that slut anyhow and I just hope he hurts her as much as he hurt me."
"Yeah me too. So do wanna talk about what happened?"
"Honestly I just wanna forget all about it. Wake me up when we're there, ok?" Sam said.
"Ok." Lexi replied.
Before she knew it, Sam had drifted off to sleep while Lexi listened to her iPod.
As soon as Jake had woken up that morning he showered and dressed as quickly as he could so he could see Rachael. Now, he was wolfing down breakfast and as soon as he was done he got up from the table and headed for the front door before his mother could ask him where he was going. She was upstairs and he wanted to leave before he got all nervous in front of her while she asked questions. But of course with his luck he was too slow because right as he was opening the door she descended down the stairs.
"Morning baby. Did you enjoy breakfast?" She asked cheerfully.
"Ah, yeah, mom I did. But, um Imma go out real quick, ok?"
"Where to?"
"No where special." He lied. "Just out. You know it's been so long since I've been home I just wanna go out and reminisce."
"Would you like some company?"
"Maybe next time. I just need some alone time right now."
"Jake, you do know that eventually we need to decide if we are going to the funeral or not. I don't mean to push you, but I know you're having a hard time and I just don't want this to be a burden on you for the rest of your life."
Jake cringed. "Mhmm sure I know. Later, ok." He said quickly before the conversation got any further.
He definitely did not want to think about that fucking bastard right now and he sure as hell knew that he didn't want to go to the funeral, but his mother had this idea that if he went it would be closure. And as much as he loved his mother he just didn't want to go. Now he was stuck and everything was just so complicated. But whatever that's something he would think about later. Because now was all about Rachael and no one else.
Jake opened the door to leave.
"Oh and Jakey, one more thing before you leave."
"Mom, we can talk about the funeral later."
"No, no, it's not that."
"What is it?" He asked impatiently.
"Your sister called late last night and left a message. She said she's coming here to see you."
"Ok then. I'll see ya mom."
"Bye baby."
Jake shut the door behind him and began to walk down the street. As he walked further along he became more and more nervous and excited. He had no idea what he wanted to say to her. All he knew was that he wanted to see her. He finally came to the house that was holding the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He saw that she was still alone and slowly walked up the drive way.
Finally he reached the door and rang the doorbell. He waited patiently and couldn't wait to see the surprise etched onto that beautiful face when she saw him. He rang the doorbell twice more and almost melted as he heard the sound of her beautiful voice muffled through the door.
"I'm coming! Jeez, relax."
Jake could barely contain the excitement as he saw the door handle turn and the door open only to reveal the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.
"Hey Rachy, miss me?" He smiled.
