A/N: This is not in any sort of chronological Smackdown order. (Since this is still the same night as the last chapter, but in Torrie's in monologue she'll be talking about stuff that happened in the weeks after the first chapters. Still kinda with me? For example, like when Rico was looking up her geisha outfit...
*cuddles Rico* Bad! She's Billy's! Bad! I'm in the Rico fan club! I've been a member since November! ^__^
Also, thanks to everyone that has reviewed! Lots of love!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven had been gone for more then a couple of minutes and Torrie was left alone with her thoughts. And that was one place she didn't want to be at that particular moment.
What am I going to do? she thought anxiously to herself. Outside right now, I have two men fighting over me, and I can't go out and take a peek, because I know I'd more likely end up running into the fight and getting involved. I have two overprotective friends who try the best that they can to protect me and keep me safe. Obviously, Molly had no idea that I was going to bring Tajiri with me, and she was just innocently trying to put me and Billy together again.
Raven is out there trying to find Molly, and he swore to himself that he would protect me and he wouldn't want to see me get hurt. And of course, Billy is out there. Hopefully he's not out there getting his ass whooped. Especially since the reason he went out was to protect my honor.
And then there is finally Tajiri. God. I don't know what to think of him anymore. When we first started going out, he was kind and sweet and loved me. And now I'm not so sure anymore.
First he got extremely and insanely jealous when Billy came back to the WWF after his surgery. When it was announced that Billy would be on Smackdown with us, Tajiri almost broke a table in the hotel room, that's how mad he was. And then of course, the match before Billy's and his match, when Billy walked over to say that the past was the past and all, Tajiri got jealous when we hugged and made me kiss him for good luck. And then it went really down hill. From wearing the very ugly geisha outfit, to him mentally abusing me in the ring. And then when that filthy and slimily Rico guy. He tried to look up my geisha outfit and when I smacked Rico, Tajiri yelled at me. ME! I didn't do anything! That Rico guy, who I thought was like Billy and Chuck -- very, 'Eww! It's a girl!' kinda guys, -- did!
The last time that someone had done that, Tajiri got very mad at the guy, but not at me. But, not this time. This time he was mad at me.
Sigh. The last time was when he was in a match with that scary freak, Goldust and Rob Van Dam saved me. Goldust was trying to touch my legs (What? Do all these guys think I'm Stacy Kielber, or something?! My legs really aren't that nice... I swear!) and he ran down and saved me. And a couple other times the Hurricane saved me. This was when he was still good friends with Molly, so I guess he didn't want to hear her yell at him if he didn't. But, that was all right, because Tajiri still thanked him many times.
That was back when I knew Tajiri. Now he's so distant. And the sad thing is, I don't think I even care anymore about him.
Torrie thought sadly to herself and leaned back on the dirty bathroom mirror and sighed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The door slams open, but Torrie doesn't look up.
"Yo! Girl!" a deep, yet female voice call out.
Torrie looks up and gasps a little, "Jackie?"
The short Texan nods, "Tha one 'nd only!"
"What are you doing in?" Torrie asks. Why would Jackie be here? I mean, she's nice to me and all, but why would she come in here seemingly looking for me?
"Well, me 'nd Bradshaw came here to celebrate me kickin' that little Crash's ass all da way back to his trailer park in Moble. 'nd Bradshaw found himself with some leggy blond, so I decided it was my time to go. 'nd jist as I was leavin' I saw muh favorite Holly, Miss Molly go walkin' by wit a frightened look. Well, more frightened den usual... So, I went up to her, and ask what had happened, and she told me about Billy and Tajiri. 'nd as much as I love a good bar fight as the next guy, I figured I should come in here and get you. Raven found his Molly, and I found you. And Billy done found himself with a bloody nose."
Torrie gasped, and Jackie gave her a sympathetic look. "Don't you worry your pretty little head about Billy. He's a tough boy. 'nd 'sides, Tajiri found himself even worst. He found himself face down on the ground. So, do ya wanna git outta this dump?"
"Yes, please, ma'am." Torrie said, a little intimated by the much stronger and tougher woman in front of her.
"Ah, don't call me ma'am. Now ya make me sound like I was my mama." Jackie said smiling at the obviously frightened girl. "Come on." she said as she led Torrie out of the bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jackie and Torrie walked out of the bathroom, and Torrie couldn't help but gasp. Torrie surveyed the, now empty scene. Bar stools and chairs were turned over. There was a lot of broken glass, and even a couple broken tables. And someone had punched a hole into the wall behind the bar. Torrie had to walk around a guy who was knocked out, face first on the ground. Since no one was in the bar, it was also eerily quiet. Torrie figured they had probably all ran out or were fighting outside in the parking lot.
~~~~~~~~Outside~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Molly was pacing back and forth behind the crowd of people.
Where is Jackie and Torrie? It's getting really bad out here. First Billy and Tajiri started fighting and now a bunch of scary, and much bigger guys then my boyfriend are fighting off to the side. And this stupid crowd of people yelling, "Kill 'em" sure isn't helping much. It feels like I'm in a ECW audience and the action's in the crowd.
Then Molly looked around, for the one hundredth time, and she saw a halo of blond hair, and next to that was a loud voice telling people to, 'Move outta da way' before they 'git a cap up da ass!'
"Jackie! Torrie! Over here!" Molly yelled and gestured with her hands.
Torrie made eye contact with Molly and tapped Jackie on the shoulder to point out where Molly and Raven were standing.
"Hey! How are they?" Torrie asked breathlessly as she ran over.
"They're both kinda bleeding, but so far no one has been killed ....yet." Molly said and reached over and squeezed Torrie's hand. Torrie smiled uncertainly at her friend, since she knew Molly was trying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven was off to the side, watching the fight. He was really proud of how well Billy was holding his own in the fight. He stood straight with his arms folded across his chest, silently watching as the crowd around him got louder and rowdier.
Some idiot had thrown a rusty metal chain at Billy's head, and now Tajiri had caught it, and was using it to choke the life out of Billy.
Raven looked behind him make sure that his three girls, Molly, Torrie, and Jackie, were still standing off to the side away from the fights, and then he ran right into the middle of the brawl. He wasn't really thinking, but all he knew was that he had to get that chain off Billy's neck.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Torrie was busying talking to Jackie and Molly about leaving, when she looked up, "Hey Molly. Where'd Raven go?"
Molly looked up and around, "Uh oh. I have no clue...."
"He probably went to go get some punches in!" Jackie said cheerfully.
Molly and Torrie turned to glare at her.
"What?" Jackie asked shrugging.
"Oh my God!" Molly gasped. All three turned to see Raven coming out of the crowd with a bloodied and battered Billy in his arms.
Around Billy's neck were bright, ugly, red welts and he was coughing forcefully. And it also looked like he couldn't stand on his own.
Torrie ran over and grabbed Billy's shoulder, and helped Raven carry him. Jackie ran behind the three of them and held Billy up from the back. Molly had ran ahead to go start the car.
The crowd started booing, and throwing bottles, fruits, or anything they could get their hands on at the defenseless group.
Soon, sirens were heard in the background and the crowd quickly dispersed. But, not before the group of Jackie, Billy, Torrie, and Raven were covered in muck, beer, and other unidentifiable liquids.
Torrie was so concerned for Billy, that she never even thought to turn around and look where Tajiri was. But, Raven did. And all Raven saw, was a man who looked like he was still out for vengeance.
Raven shook his head. This is far from over, he thought to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group got to the car, and Molly moved into the back, Jackie sat in the front passenger side, Raven was the navigator. And Torrie sat in the back with Billy in her arms.
"Billy. Oh, honey I'm so sorry." she whispered into his ear as she stroked his hair.
Billy tried to talk to her, but found that having chains wrapped around your throat and then pulled very tightly, kind of messed up your voice. He took Torrie's hand and gently kissed her knuckles and her palm to reassure her.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." She kept on muttering and then lowered herself on his chest. He smiled and wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders and started rubbing gentle circles on her back. He grimaced a little at the pain of moving his arm, but then smiled as she slowly stopped crying.
"...I...love...you...." Billy told her, his voice raspy and rough sounding.
She got up off of him, and looked straight into his eyes. She smiled and kissed him gently on his lips. "I love you too, Billy. I'm so sorry I didn't see it before."
Molly, Jackie, and Raven all smiled silently to themselves. Each one them were glad that the two kids had finally realized they were really meant for each other.
