*** Hey there everyone. I know it's been a long time since I've updated and I've only written one other story. But I finally got time to write a chapter and I promise not to let so much time pass before I post the next chapter!!! Okay, this chapter is called "These Wings". I hope you enjoy it! And I hope you review it too!!! ***

// Love was always letting me down
You know what I mean //

"Hey Torrie," Andrew Martin said as he nudged the woman next to him gently. "You okay?"

Torrie looked up at Test and smiled. "Of course, everything is great Test."

"You can call me Andrew," Test said.

"Oh yeah," Torrie said, laughing self-consciously. "I'm fine though. Really."

"Are you sure?" Test asked. "Because this bar is kind of lame tonight. If you want to go that would be fine with me."

"You sure?" Torrie asked.

'I wouldn't have offered if I minded at all," Test said. Torrie smiled up at him gratefully.

// The man of my dreams
Should knock me off my feet //

"You've been spending a lot of time with our boy Test recently," Stephanie said when she saw Torrie in the hall the next evening.

"Yeah, so?" Torrie asked. She had a strong dislike for the owner of ECW, but if she was honest, she didn't really know the woman. "You still have a thing for him?"

"No," Stephanie said. "You just don't seem to act like someone who has found someone to love."

"What do you mean?" Torrie asked.

"I know what it's like to be in love," Stephanie said. "Or at least, I'm learning. You aren't."

"Does this conversation have a point?" Torrie asked impatiently.

"I know Shane asked you to try and keep Test happy," Stephanie sighed. "Don't listen to Shane. If you don't have a thing for Test, then don't string him along."

"Why do you care?" Torrie asked.

"Because he's already been treated like crap twice," Stephanie said. "And you should have a chance to fall in love. Everyone should."

// Like you're doing now boy
Now you figured out boy, how boy //

"Hey," Sean said as he bumped into Torrie in the lobby of the hotel they were staying in.

"Hi Sean," Torrie said. She ducked her head to hide a blush. She had been thinking of him a lot since her conversation with Stephanie.

"Where's your boyfriend?" Sean asked, not bothering to hide his disdain.

"Boyfriend?" Torrie asked in shock. "I don't have a boyfriend."

"What about Test?" Sean asked.

"Andrew and I are friends," Torrie said. "He's a great guy, but there's no chemistry between us."

"Could've fooled me," Sean said.

"Well," Torrie said. "Nothing I could really do about that, now. Is there?"

// How did you reach down inside and
Find a butterfly, I'm a butterfly
Learning how to fly //

"What's up with you?" Stacy asked as Torrie walked into the room they were sharing. "You're whistling."

"Yeah," Torrie said happily. "I am."

"Any reason?" Stacy asked.

"Hm, I ran into someone downstairs," Torrie said. "I've got a date tonight."

"You and Test go out all the time," Stacy said.

"Test and I decided we weren't working about three days ago," Torrie said.

"So who are you going out with?" Stacy asked.

"Sean O'Haire," Torrie said happily.

// These wings they fly away, hide away
I want to hide away
These wings they fly away, high away
I want to hide away, oh. //

"You look great," Sean said, when he picked up Torrie two nights later.

"Thanks," Torrie said. "You don't look bad yourself."

"Thank you," Sean said.

"Can I ask you a question real quick?" Torrie asked, pulling her jacket on with some assistance from Sean.

"Of course," Sean said.

"Would you mind if we don't move so quickly this time?" Torrie asked. "I mean, I really think we could have something special and I want to really get to know you."

"That would be great Tor," Sean said. "I think taking it slow would be a good idea."

"Really?" Torrie asked.

"Is it so hard to believe I can be a gentleman?" Sean asked.

// Hard-every day was so hard
Now don't they go by //

"One whole month," Sean said, "and you haven't just stopped seeing me without any explanation."

"Can you stop with that already?" Torrie asked. "I was confused at the time."

"What were you confused about?" Sean asked. "We had a great time, I thought."

"We did," Torrie sighed. "Someone asked me to give someone else a chance. He put it in a way that made it almost impossible to refuse."

"What are you talking about?" Sean asked.

"Shane asked me to go out with Test," Torrie said.

"What?" Sean asked. Torrie knew she had made a mistake. "Did he threaten your job?"

"No Sean," Torrie said. "It wasn't like that. Test is a rising star and Shane thought we would like each other. It was a nudge."

Torrie watched helplessly as Sean stormed out of her dressing room.

// Like riding a slide
Get to the end, fly off into the night boy, night
Everything is so right boy right //

"Don't ever tell Torrie she has to go out with someone ever again!" Sean yelled as he stormed into Shane's office moments later.

"Calm down man," Shane said, holding his hands up to ward off a possible attack from one of his promising young wrestlers. "What are you talking about?"

"When you told her to go out with Test," Sean said, barely containing his fury. "You can't do shit like that Shane. I love her."

"If I had known that I never would have SUGGESTED that she go out with Andrew," Shane said. "But I didn't tell her to go out with Test."

"Just," Sean said, trying to find words to get his point across. "Don't do it again."

"Fine," Shane said. "I'm a little busy."

"Fine," Sean said.

// Now I could just circle the moon and
Bring it back to you
Bring it back to you
There's nothing I can't do. //

"Hey," Torrie said, coming up behind Sean in his locker room. She laid her hands on his shoulders and began to gently massage his tense muscles.

When Sean didn't respond, Torrie walked around and crouched in front of him. "Hey, look, about what happened. I'm sorry."

"You should've said no," Sean said.

"I know I should've," Torrie said. "But you have to understand. I was scared. I was afraid of falling for you Sean. I've never been in love and it's scary."

"How do I trust you Torrie?" Sean asked.

"Because I'm someone else now," Torrie said. "Being with you has changed me."

"What?" Sean asked.

"I love you Sean," Torrie said.

// These wings they fly away, hide away
I want to hide away
These wings they fly away, high away
I want to hide away, oh. //

"Jericho!" Stephanie squealed as the blond man tickled around her abdomen. "Stop it!"

"You really want me to stop?" Jericho asked, as he leaned over and lightly kissed her lips. He jumped back as Torrie walked into the room they were in. "I'll see you later."

"I never thought you and Jericho would be together," Torrie commented after Jericho had left the room.

"Me neither," Stephanie said. "You want to know a secret?"

"Sure," Torrie said.

"We aren't technically together," Stephanie said. "I convinced him to help me out with getting a measure of revenge against Rob."

"You've been hanging out together for four months," Torrie said.

"We're being convincing," Stephanie shrugged.

"You're in love with him," Torrie marveled. "You should tell him."

"Maybe," Stephanie said.

// Like you're doing now boy
Now you figured it how boy, how boy
How did you reach down inside and
Find a butterfly, I'm a butterfly //

"What were you doing in Stephanie's dressing room?" Stacy asked.

"Thanking her for something she said awhile ago," Torrie said. "She really helped me out."

"I thought you thought she was a bitch," Stacy said.

"She's changed, or I've changed or something," Torrie answered. "Maybe Jericho brings out the best in her."

"Or maybe Sean brings out the best in you," Stacy commented.

"That's definitely a possibility," Torrie agreed.

// Watch me fly
These wings they fly away, hide away
I want to hide away
These wings they fly away, high away
I want to hide away, oh. //

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me," Torrie told Sean later that night.

"I could've told you that," Sean said, grinning down at her.

"You're such an egotistical arrogant wonderful man," Torrie said.

"Thank you," Sean said. "Hey Tor."

"Yeah?" Torrie asked.

"I love you."

*** Okay, it might have been a little lame. If you couldn't tell, I'm wrapping things up now. One plot line down...five to go! PLEASE take the time and write a review! I'll love you forever. ***
