Chapter 16:
Regan's POV
I opened my eyes; it was morning. Tonight I was to be in Cleveland for Raw. The thought of being there made my stomach churn. It would be the first time since the Christmas party I would see Jay. My stomach churned again and I gagged. Torrie Wilson, he married Torrie Wilson! The thought still seemed unbelievable. This time I tasted the bitter taste of vomit pressing its way up my throat. I rolled out of bed and to the bathroom. I'd been feeling pretty lousy since I had found out. All the stress in my life and now this to top it off.
I had come to an important decision the previous night. Shane had called to check on me, the sweetheart he was and I had told him straight out.
"I've come to a very important decision."
"What's that?"
"I'm giving up on men."
"You're what!"
"You heard me. I'm giving up on men."
"Forever?"
"I don't know. Maybe."
"Ohh."
"Don't sound so disappointed. You're not interested are you?"
I heard him give a small laugh over the phone. "No."
"Gee, thanks for boosting my confidence."
"Sorry. I meant me and you are friends, not a romantic couple."
It was my turn to laugh. "I know. I'm just teasing a little."
"Seriously though, are you really giving up men?"
"Yeah, I am. For a little while at least."
"Why?"
"Because it's not worth all the pain. That's all that ever happens. Either I cause them pain, or they cause me pain."
"For instance."
"My first boyfriend, Ryan in Jr. High. Cheated on me with my so- called best friend. That's what started the tread. I didn't date again for awhile. In more recent times, me and Jay. I hurt Jay by spend time with you. He hurt me by making me choose. Randy and I. I hurt Randy by spending time with Jay. He hurt me by making me choose. It's the same thing. I hurt me and I hurt them. Shane, I'm tired of playing with the fire and getting burned. I'm staying clear of any fire for awhile."
"That's really sad, Reg. I hate to hear you talk like this."
"I can't help what I feel. How was the rest of the party?"
"Not the same without you. But had fun."
"Did you and Trish dance?" His end of the line got quiet. "Hello? Shane?"
"Yeah, we did."
"And?" I said pressing for more information. "Come on Shane, it may make me feel better."
"We really had a great time together. Reg, I do think I like her."
I smiled for the first time in days. "That's great. Are you going to ask her out?"
He sighed. "I think so."
"I'm happy for you Shane. Listen, I gotta get some rest, so I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah. By the way, my dad what's to see you when you get in tomorrow? It's about your storyline."
"Thanks, Shane. Goodnight."
"Night, Reg. See you tomorrow."
I check my clock. Almost time to leave. I hurriedly changed and grabbed my bags. It was now or never.
"Evolution had expanded." Paul's (HHH) voice boomed across the arena. "We scoured this business from the bottom up. We looked for the wrestler that best defines what Evolution stands for. We stand for the best this business has to offer. And we have found the one person that fits this description. May I present the newest member of Evolution, Regan Lawler!"
Evolution music blasted throughout the venue and I came sauntering down to the ring, my best heel face on, the one that says, "I'm the best and you better believe it!" Randy and Batista held the ropes for me as I entered the ring. I walked up to Paul and Ric and shook both their hands. I took the microphone from Paul and put it to my lips. "Thank you, Hunter for that truthful introduction. What Hunter said is, well, it's true. I am the best there is today in women's wrestling. I've got it all. I've got the looks," I struck a "sexy" pose. I've got the brains. And I've been kicking all the Diva's asses since I got here. I am a second generation Superstar. This business is coursing through my veins as we speak. But there is one thing missing. That is a WWE Women's Championship. That's why, you Trish Stratus, you had better kiss your title good-bye because come next Monday Night, it will be around my waist." Threw my microphone down. Paul and Ric raised my hands as the Evolution music started again. We all headed up the ramp and to the backstage area. Randy took off, as did Batista.
"Good job out there Regan."
"Thanks Ric. Let me just say, it is a great honor to be working with both of you. You are such inspirations."
"Hey, it's nothing. Now, just keep delivering the heat and you'll be just fine." They left up the hall when Vince came jogging up after me.
"Regan, hope you're ready for some traveling?"
"Why?"
"Pack your bags, your flight for Tampa leaves tonight."
"Tampa?"
Vince smiled. "Yes, tomorrow night, you're invading Smackdown!"
