Chapter 2:

Jay's POV:

As Trish Stratus headed through the curtain, I looked around. My partner was nowhere to be seen. Oh, well I thought to myself. It would probably be Gail Kim or Molly, someone Trish was having a feud with. I picked up my IC title and threw it over my shoulder. Being the IC Champion was.well.in the words of Edge.it reeked of awesomeness.

"You're up, Jay." I turned around and took one last look down the hall, hoping to see my partner. The only people I saw were Randy Orton and Andrew Martin (Test) looking at the latest issue of RAW Magazine. I guess I would just have to be surprised.

My music hit and I was no longer Jason Reso. I was CHRISTIAN! IC CHAMP! I had to go out and represent for my peeps, which pretty much consisted of screaming teenage girls. But, hey, they were my peeps and that's all that matters.

I burst through the curtains and headed down the ramp. From the ring Lilian Garcia announced, "Their opponents.first introducing the reigning WWE IC Champion..Christian!" Hearing this I threw my arms out as if to say, hey look at me, I am the greatest wrestler ever! The crowd was booing loudly as RVD and Trish were crowd favorites. I climbed in the ring and stepped up on the ring ropes. I held my title high in the air. The crowd booed louder and I played it up. I was still on the ropes when my partner's music hit. It sounded familiar, but I just could not place it. "And his partner, making her WWE debut.Regan Lawler!"

I almost fell off the ring ropes, but I managed to maintain my balance. I had to be dreaming. But when I looked up the ramp, there she was. The woman I had once loved, more than anything. The woman who had broken my heart and never so much as looked at me since. And now she was my tag team partner. It was all too much to believe. The crowd was cheering, having heard the name "Lawler." But my heart wasn't cheering at her return; it was breaking all over again.

Regan entered the ring and the two of us made eye contact for the first time in a year. Then she was speared by Trish and the match had started. My mind wasn't on moonsaults and DDTs, it was on the heartache I had been through the past year. All I could think of was her, Regan Lawler. My feelings were all jumbled inside. I didn't know how I should feel. I snapped back to reality as Regan was crawling across the ring towards me trying to make a tag. She reached out her hand and I leaned in to tag it. I felt chills as I felt her soft skin against my own. Snap out of it, I told myself angrily, you have match to fight!

We ended up winning the match, or should I say Regan won the match after hitting a Tornado DDT on Trish. She grabbed my hand afterwards and raised it in the air. It felt good to touch her again, to hold her hand. Regan abruptly dropped it and headed off to the back while I grabbed my IC title feeling very confused.

Regan's POV

I waved to the crowd as I headed back up the ramp. The match had been amazing. I realized how much I had missed wrestling. I was just grateful that Jay hadn't walked out of our match. He was more handsome then I had remembered. It was the new haircut. I still felt a spark when we touched, but I knew it was over. Jay and I were done a long time ago.

I walked back through the curtain and headed for my dressing room. Backstage everyone greeted me with congratulations on my first televised match.

"Great match!"

"Hey, Regan, nice job."

"Thanks" I called back to them. I rounded the corner where Shane was waiting. "How'd I do?"

"You were amazing!" Shane grabbed me and gave me a giant bear hug. "It has been so long since I've seen you in action."

I laughed. "Thanks Shane, your praise is the one that really matters to me."

"Hey, I am so sorry about what happened, them not tell you Jay was your partner. I'm sorry they made him your partner."

"Jay's a professional. He wouldn't do anything to ruin his career."

"Listen, I have to get ready, I'm cutting a promo in the ring with Eric Bischoff and Kane in about twenty minutes. I'll catch you later." Shane leaned in and gave me another bear hug. "You were awesome out there!"

"Thanks. Good luck!" I called after him. I turned to enter my locker room, but I was blocked by an angry blonde Playmate.

"You have a lot of nerve!"

Jay's POV

I headed back through the curtain, still feeling very confused. I hadn't thought that Regan would be back someday doing what she loved. My heart ached. It still hadn't healed. I had loved her and she threw it away for him. I hated him still to this day. When I saw him saunter into the building after Linda had gotten hurt, my blood boiled. He had caused all this. I knew this; Regan had been to naïve about the whole situation. Shane had been in love with her, he had separated from his wife to be with her, he had driven the wedge in between us. It was all Shane McMahon's fault.

"Jay!" I looked up to see my girlfriend walking towards me. She looked very angry. "Jay! Why are you and your ex-girlfriend having matches together!"

"Torrie, I don't know. I don't write the scripts."

"You still love her, don't you?"

"No. What makes you think that?"

Torrie crossed her arms and glared at me. "I saw the look on your face when she walked into that ring."

"Honey, I."

"You still love her! How could you want that, when you have me, a genuine Playboy Playmate! I don't understand Jay!"

I felt angry. Why was Torrie yelling at me? I hadn't planned the match. "If anyone planned this match it was her or Shane. Not me."

"Really." Torrie was gazing behind me now. I turned to look with her. There was Regan in the arms of one Shane McMahon. I knew it! I knew she had loved him and not me. Well, it looks like she had forgotten all about me. "I think I'll have a little talk with Miss Lawler." Torrie stalked off down the hall towards Regan. I headed to my locker room to mend my heart.

A/N: I know the pairing of Torrie and Jay is a little odd. As you can see, I don't really like Torrie very much. Sorry to any Torrie fans out there. R/R please. Thanks again for reading.
