A/N - I can't believe this chapter 11, my longest fic to date. I have the
perfect ending (well for them it may not be) and I'm eager to get it done
so I will probably doing quite long updates from now on. Hope you are still
enjoying the story, its fun to write but even more fun if I know you like
it, so tell me when you've finished, with a little review. (Yeap, I have no
shame)
The next time I saw Glen was three hours later. He looked slightly more placated but only a little. "Where have you been?" I asked worried. "To see Mark."
"Oh! How is he?"
"He's coping, I think. He says he can't see you yet, he'll phone when he's ready"
"Glen, why did you say 'again' when you were talking about Hunter earlier?" I still remembered his strange outburst and was not going to let it go. "It's a long story"
"I have nothing better to do"
"Fine! You may have noticed Mark and Hunter don't really like each other. This was for no particular reason, they never hit it off and have disliked each other since Hunter debuted. In the interests of business they put this aside but then it came to a head.
After this years Royal Rumble Sara was there and they were going to go out by themselves to celebrate, but Mark was quite tired so he was gonna go to the locker room party then back to a hotel to sleep. This really upset Sara."
"Why? All he wanted to do was sleep"
"She didn't see it that way. She thought that, if he wanted to go out with his mates instead then bedstead of out with her, then he had a problem with her. Admittedly this wasn't the first thing they had, though I'm sure you knew this."
I nodded but really I hadn't a clue. Mark and Sara's relationship was off bounds in our conversations. I always thought it was because he didn't want to upset me but it could have been just a sore spot. Glen misconstrued the look on my face and quickly said "It wasn't you, don't worry, it had nothing to do with you. It was them, I'm sure you know all about it but.anyway Sara was giving him the cold shoulder all night, and when he left she threw a fit and insisted on staying"
I thought back, I could remember him looking glum so I'd gone to speak to him but he'd just said nothing and left moments later. I thought he was in a bad mood with me at the time but eventually I put it down to fatigue.
"I'm not sure on the details from here on but I'll tell you what I know. I tried to speak to her but she didn't want to know. She was with Hunter Steph and Chris and they were pouring drinks down her like god knows. Well actually Hunter was, I think Steph and Chris didn't notice. When I left her and Hunter were in a corner alone, and she was more than worse for wear. They left quite soon after and left together, I'm sure you can work out what happened." "She slept with him? The bitch!"
"Yeah well, Anyway that wasn't the only time. I don't think there was ever an actual number but it was enough to shatter Mark. Hunter told him in the end and Sara had to pick up the pieces. She tried to back track but in the end she told him it was just sex. I think that hurt him more than if it meant something. Many would call him a hypocrite but he really loves you and feels there is more to you and him than that. The fact it meant nothing devastated him, it really killed him but he worked through it, I don't think he ever forgave her for it but he put it behind them. Seeing Hunter do it again would have brought it all back and I think he feels now he's lost you both to his worst enemy. And that's why he was so devastated. You need to tell him he hasn't lost you, tell him you love him and just do your best."
I looked at Glen, tears pricking the back of my eyes. Poor Mark, poor poor baby. Glen looked over at me. "When you said what happened, what did you mean about the history between you and Hunter?" "Huh?"
Glen's voice hardened a little as he repeated his question "What's the history with you and Hunter"
"Oh ermm."
"Trish?"
"When I first came, before I'd even met Mark, Hunter came on to me but ignored it. Then I realised that I could use him to my advantage. I played him through the year, teasing him but never following through and it worked. I never slept with him Glen I swear, I just enjoyed pissing him off. When I found out that Mark hated him I enjoyed it even more, but then when I realised how much he hated him I stopped. I ignored him and kept out of his way. I couldn't stand the idea of hurting poor Mark by getting the wrong idea. When we actually got together, I told Hunter to leave me alone or I'd have him for sexual harassment. He's kept out of my way since then thankfully. I definitely didn't expect what happened. It took me by surprise, and scared me to be honest" For a moment I thought Glen didn't believe me so I repeated "I swear I didn't sleep with him. EVER"
Glen ran his hands through his hair and sighed "I know Trish, I believe you. I just.I think I should see Mark before you do, but we should leave it, maybe until RAW" I nodded feeling I couldn't last that long. I'd die without hearing his voice.
Three days later I was still dying to hear his voice but I had managed to keep to my promise to Glen that I'd wait. It hadn't stopped me spending every minute wanting to hear him on the phone, praying he would want to talk to me. But I never expected my wish to come true.
"Hello?" I was sat on the sofa, painting my toenails a blood red. I picked up the phone on reflex and propped it between my shoulder and head. At the sound of the voice on the other end I dropped the bottle of varnish so it begun to spill red all over the floor. "Trish? We need to talk" He didn't sound happy but he didn't sound angry, so that was good? No, he sounded upset and depressed so I guess it wasn't. "Yeah I know" "Well, can we meet?" "Of course"
A/N - So will he forgive her? Only I know and I won't tell unless I get some nice reviews so hit that button people! (Told you, shameless)
