Regan's POV:
Life was still the same, difficult. Jay and I hadn't spoken since our last confrontation, but we continued to work the angle for Vince. I was relieved when Vince told me that my match tonight was against Victoria in a number one contenders match. Jay, thankfully, had the night off. Since the fight, Shane and I had stopped going to Smackdown tapings. Torrie was there with Jay. I didn't want to see either of them.
Life outside of work was good. Randy and I had been seeing each other for a month. We went out to clubs a lot after work. I think Shane is worried about me. He's always asleep in my hotel room when I get back. He's more like an older brother, or even a father when it comes to me and dating. I don't know what Randy thinks of Shane and me; he never says anything about us. Maybe he has learned from Jay's mistakes.
My friends seem to like Randy. We all go out together once in awhile. My girls, Trish, Amy, Gail, and Stacy and Randy's guys, Charlie Haas, John Cena, Andrew Martin (who happens to be good friends with Jay) and Brock Lesner. John and I get along real well, he is so funny and so much like his on-screen character. Sometimes I think he wishes I wasn't seeing Randy, if you catch my drift. Speaking of crushes, I think Shane has one on Trish. When he wakes me up the morning after he always asks about her, who she danced with, if she had fun, if she got to her room all right. I asked him if he liked her last week. He got quiet, and then he changed the subject.
It's really awkward being around Andrew though. I know he probably tells Jay what I've been up to. Andrew is rather cold with me. He'd rather dance with Stacy and drink. That's his business.
I finished stretching for my match. Where was Shane? I hadn't seen him all day, which was unusual. I decided to search for him. I rounded the corner and nearly ran into Andrew. "Sorry, Andrew, I'm looking for Shane. Have you seen him?"
He raised his eyebrow. "Shane? So, maybe what Jay says is true. You like Shane."
"Of course I do!" I snapped. "Shane is my best friend."
He laughed. "Yeah "best friends"." He proceeded past me. "With benefits." I didn't have time to put up with Andrew and his stupidity. I needed to find Shane. I managed to find his locker room.
"Shane?" I knocked on the door. No answer. The door was unlocked, so I entered. "Shane?" He was sitting on the floor next to a piece of paper. I sat down next to him. "Shane? What's wrong?" He pointed to the paper on the floor by his feet. I picked it up. "Oh, Shane! I'm sorry."
"I knew this day would come. But I just wasn't ready for it."
"Shane, it will be okay."
"Okay! My marriage is officially over! I am officially a divorced man!" He hung his head.
"Do you want me to stay with you tonight. I can see Randy any night."
"No, I already messed up one relationship for you. I'd hate to mess up another."
I lifted Shane's head and looked into his eyes. "Shane, what happened between Jay and I was not your fault. Please stop blaming yourself for that."
"You wouldn't mind?"
"No, and if Randy minds, then he isn't the guy for me. I'll go tell him."
Randy's POV
"You and Shane?"
"Yeah." Regan looked at me with her emerald eyes. "His divorce is final. I think he's going to have a tough time with this. I just want to help him."
"Okay, but I claim you all night tomorrow. Deal?"
Regan smiled and threw her arms around me. "Randy, you are wonderful." She planted a kiss on my lips. "Thank you, it's a deal."
"Now, don't you have a match to win?" We kissed once more and I saw her out of the Evolution locker room. "That damn McMahon!" I punched my locker leaving a dent. He's officially single ten minutes and already my girlfriend is choosing him over me. Maybe all the things I had heard about the two of them were true. Snap out of it Orton, you sound like Jay. That was not who I wanted to sound like. Not if I wanted to keep Regan around.
At least now I knew what Jay had been through. Jay had been acting weird the past few weeks. Very distant. He didn't hang out with Chris or Andrew much. I had spoken to Torrie a few days ago. She said that her and Jay barely went out. She still thinks that Jay loves Regan, but I told her it wasn't true. He told her he never did. Why would he lie? I wasn't worried about Jay; I was worried about Shane.
