*** Okay, this commences in the second part of the series. These next seven chapters will be from the POV of the people who are helping our divas out with their problems. So, hopefully this will be a little happier than the other part. I use "Recovering the Satellites" by Counting Crows. ***

// Gonna get back to basics

Guess I'll start it up again //

I never thought she and I would ever talk again, let alone depend on each other. But when she passed out into my arms, I really didn't have a choice. If she would let me help her then that was what I was going to do.

But the most important thing to me was helping her to realize who she really was, at the heart of herself. Before she came to the WWF she was a sweet girl who never would have chosen the path that she did. She just had to find that part of her again.

And I was willing to help her because that was the part of her that I loved. I always had loved that part of her. It was like she was a playful, almost innocent girl. But the girl who passed out was a jaded, unhappy woman.

// I'm falling' from the ceiling

You're falling from the sky now and then //

"Torrie," I whispered to her.

"Huh?" she asked, her eyes fluttering open.

"We need to get ready to go," I said, sitting down next to her on the bed. Stacy and I had brought her to my bedroom after she passed out. Her heartbeat had been steady and Edge had told us she really hadn't taken much in the way of drugs that night.

"Billy?" she asked in shock. "Why are you in my room?"

"Actually," I said, smiling just a little. "You're in my room. Stacy brought your stuff over so you can go ahead and change in the bathroom."

"Okay," Torrie said, nodding. "But you'll have to explain to me why I'm here later."

"I will," I promised.

// Maybe you were shot down in pieces

Maybe I slipped in between //

"I passed out?" Torrie asked, sounding horrified.

"Sure enough," I said, trying to keep my voice light. I had been scared to death when her face turned pale and she just stopped talking. I barely was able to catch her.

"Oh my God," she said, burying her face in her hands. She was riding with me to the airport in my rental car. "I can't believe I did that."

"Torrie, I know why you passed out," I said solemnly.

"Oh," Torrie said. She looked away from me, out of the window.

"I'm not disappointed or anything," I said. "I'm just scared for you."

"You don't need to be," Torrie said quietly.

"Yeah I do," I replied. "I want to help you."

// But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see

Just you and me //

"You want to help me?" Torrie asked in disbelief. "Do you remember that I'm the woman who turned on you?"

"Yeah," I said, nodding as I looked forward, trying not to think about the betrayal I had felt so deeply. "But I still care about you Tor."

"I don't deserve that from you," Torrie said. "I've done so much."

"You haven't done anything that can't be fixed," I said. "And I'd like to be there for you. I mean, if your boyfriend doesn't mind."

"Boyfriend?" Torrie asked.

"Tajiri," I said.

"Oh, we broke up," Torrie said. "Yesterday actually. It was one of the reasons I went out with Edge last night."

"Well then, will you let me help you?" I asked

// So why'd you come home to this sleepless town

It's a lifetime commitment

Recovering the satellites //

"What are you thinking about?" Torrie asked me later that night as we watched re-runs of old sitcoms on TV.

"You," I answered. "You're going to go through withdrawal Tor. I'll be here, but it's going to be hard."

"I know," Torrie said, nodding her head.

"But everything will be pretty good after you kick your habit," I said.

"There will still be urges Billy," Torrie said seriously, looking over at me. "I'll always crave. It will always be a possibility that I'll start taking again."

"I know," I said.

"Do you?" Torrie asked.

"If I don't," I said, "I will soon, huh?"

// All anybody really wants to know is...

When you gonna come down //

"How is she?" Stacy asked me as we waited for Torrie to come out of the restroom at the arena we were at for the night.

"She seems fine," I said. "But it's only been two days."

"I know," Stacy said. "I'm trying to get Vince to give you and Torrie a vacation."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah," Stacy shrugged. "She's always helped me when I needed it, I figured I should repay the favor if I could."

"You seem different though Stacy," I said to her. She did seem more mature and a little quieter than she had been while Torrie and I had been together.

"I guess I grew up," Stacy shrugged as if she was holding something back.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Hey, we have to worry about Torrie, not me," Stacy said.

// Your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays

And she watches as her babies drift violently away //

I woke up in the middle of the night to hear wretching noises from the bathroom. I got up and saw Torrie hunched over the toilet. I wet a washcloth and put it against her neck.

"Billy," she whispered.

"You okay sweetie?" I asked her.

"I feel so sick," she confessed. "But there is nothing else to throw up."

"I know," I said. "You want to take a bath?"

"No," Torrie said. "I want to sleep. I feel so cold."

"Okay," I said. I picked her up and carried her to one of the beds. I pulled the sheets over her and then put both of the comforters over her.

She was still shivering and I felt truly helpless for the first time in my life because I couldn't stop her pain.

// 'Til they see themselves in telescopes

Do you see yourself in me?

We're such crazy babies, little monkey //

"Okay, I did it," Stacy said as she came into the room. "Oh my God."

Torrie was bundled up in blankets. Her face was a sickly, pale color. She smiled weakly at Stacy. "Did what?"

"Oh yeah," Stacy said. "You and Billy have two weeks off courtesy of Mr. McMahon."

"Thank God," I said, sighing in relief. The last thing Torrie needed was for people to ask her what was wrong.

"Why?" Torrie asked.

"I told him you two just started going out again and that the road was starting to be a little much for you and I was afraid you would quit if you didn't get some time off," Stacy said. "And then Billy would go with you."

"You didn't do that sick perv any favors did you?" Torrie asked.

"No," Stacy said. "You worry about you for awhile, okay?"

// We're so fucked up, you and me

So why'd you come home to this faithless town //

"I can't do this!" Torrie yelled at me. "Stay the fuck away from me Billy!"

"Torrie," I said calmly. "You need to calm down."

"Don't tell me what to fucking do Billy," Torrie snarled. "You're such a damn momma hen."

"Is there something I can get for you Tor?" I asked.

"Yeah, coke," Torrie said. "And lots of it."

"Tor," I said.

"Just leave me alone," Torrie sighed.

// Where we make a lifetime commitment

To recovering the satellites

And all anybody really wants to know is...

When are you gonna come down //

"Hey," I whispered. Torrie was lying on the couch watching old TV shows. "Can I get you something?"

"I'm okay," Torrie said softly. "I'm sorry about all of the yelling I've been doing the past couple of days. I just feel so on edge."

"It's okay," I assured her. "You don't have to explain anything."

"I know I've said it before," Torrie said. "But thanks."

"Don't mention it," I said, sitting down on the floor next to her.

"Why are you helping me?" Torrie asked.

"We have a past that I can't ignore," I said quickly. I knew Torrie very well and I knew telling her that I was still in love with her would scare her. I already had an answer for that question, I knew she would ask it.

"Oh," she said, reverting her attention to the TV screen.

// She sees shooting stars and comet tails

She's got heaven in her eyes //

"Hey," Torrie said to me as she sat across from me at the table.

"You sound happy," I commented.

"Nice change, huh?" she asked.

"I like it myself," I said, shrugging.

"You've been really great Billy," Torrie said, looking at me in the eyes. "I'm not sure how I can ever repay you."

"Just, don't start again," I said.

"Easier said than done," Torrie said, fiddling with a fork that was on the table. "But I'm going to try my damnedest."

"Good," I said. "I think you can do it."

// She says I don't need to be an angel

But I'm nothing if I'm not this high

But we only stay in orbit

For a moment of time //

"How can you still believe in me after everything I've done to you Billy?" Torrie asked, finally looking up at me. Looking me in the eyes in a way she hadn't done since we had broken up.

"I just can," I shrugged.

"You're an amazing person," Torrie said, looking away. "I don't think I'd be able to forgive you if our roles were reversed."

"Torrie, you can't know until you're in the position to act," I said. "And you're the only woman I've ever loved. How could I really turn my back on you when you needed me. You never really need me while we were together. It was my chance to show you that someone cared about you."

She looked back up, tears glistening in her eyes. She reached her hand over and covered mine with it. "Thank you Billy."

"Aw Tor," I said. "You don't need to keep thanking me."

// And then you're everybody's satellite

I wish that you were mine //

"Well, good luck," Torrie said, standing by the door of my dressing room.

"You want to come?" I asked.

"You don't need me there," Torrie said, sticking her hands in the pockets of her blue jeans and looking extremely uncomfortable.

"But I want you out there," I said.

"Really?" she asked, her beautiful blue eyes lighting up in a way I hadn't seen in so long.

I grinned at her. "Of course I do."

She jumped towards me and hugged me. "Okay! I'm so excited! It'll be just like old times!"

// So why'd you come home to this angels town

It's a lifetime decision

Recovering the satellites //

The match I had was a pretty hard match, but I wouldn't remember much about it after a week or so. What I'll always remember is Torrie. She climbed into the ring after I got pinned and came to check on me. She stood over me like a shining angel.

"God you're an angel," I whispered.

"No, you are," Torrie said. "You're my angel."

"I guess we'll be angels to each other," I said. I sat up and slowly got to my feet. Torrie stood right next to me.

"That sounds like a plan," she finally said. "I know with you by my side I'll never do wrong. Well, too much wrong anyways."

"What?" I asked, not understanding what she was saying.

// Everybody really knows for sure...

That you're gonna come down //

She smiled softly and leaned in to place a light kiss on my lips. "I love you Billy. I always have and I always will. You make me who I am. At least on the good days."

"Torrie," I whispered, feeling stunned.

"Oh God, you don't feel the same," Torrie said, holding her hand in front of her mouth. "And I did this in the middle of the ring."

She turned to leave, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her back to me. "You just seem to have forgotten how to kiss," I said, before placing a kiss of my own on her lips.

"Billy?" she asked, sounding very confused after she pulled away.

"I've always loved you too Tor," I said. "I always will."

She grinned before pulling me into a tight embrace. "Promise to never let me lose you again."

"I promise," I said, holding her close.

// That you're gonna come down //
