Chapter 2

To: stephymc@aol.com From: chris2j@aol.com Subject: Re: I'm sorry..

The things we need to talk about shouldn't be done over the phone; I've just had my match if you were watching so I'm finished here. Please meet me somewhere, I really need to see you and don't say your not in the same state because I know you are. Please name the place and time and I'll be there, I need to see you. Love Chris xx



Chris sits back and looks at the message, it didn't sound too desperate. He reads it over again, satisfied with how it sounded he clicks on send and waits till the little flying envelope had disappeared. A hand on his shoulder makes him jump and look round at his tag partner Christian.

"What are you doing still here? Everyone's leaving" Christian says sitting down on the bench next to him and peering round to see the screen "So what's the latest on the Stephanie and Chris sage huh?" he asks nudging his friend in the arm. Chris smiles a little but doesn't take his eyes off the screen "It could never happen?"

"Already has man..But she wants me to call her, it seems that her and Hunter aren't getting back together after all. I told her that I wanted to meet with her and that the stuff we had to talk about couldn't really be done over the phone, I'm just waiting to see what she says" Chris says folding his arms behind his head and leaning against the lockers.

"And your just going to forgive her for ditching you for him and pretend like it never happened..You know that's screwed up Chris. Maybe you shouldn't even meet with her, Chris..She dumped you!..For Hunter!..Need I say anymore than that?" Christians says grabbing the laptop and pulling it out of the power supply.

"What the hell are you doing!" Chris snatches it from him "Don't you think I know she dumped me for him! I know all right! You don't have to rub it in..Yes I am going to forgive her because I care about her and no matter what she's done I told her right from the beginning that I would always be there for her and just because I feel this way about her isn't going to make me go against that! If she meets me and tells me she just wants to be friends with me then I'll deal with that..But I'd make sure I was the best damn friend she ever had!" Chris yells grabbing his bag and heading for the door.

"Chris I didn't mean it like that! I just think your making a mistake, where are you going!?" Christian shouts after him grabbing his own bag and running out the lockeroom after Chris. "I didn't mean to rub it in, I just don't want you to get your heart broken by her!" Chris stops walking and turns to him.

"The only way I am going to get my heart broken is by not being with her, you know what Hunter did to her! You know how he treats her and you know that we were happy together, Christian you're my friend and the only person we told that we were together. I trusted you not to tell anyone and now you have to show me that trust back..Trust me on this one and just let me have the benefit of the doubt and at least pretend that you are happy that there might be that slight chance I could be with her again!" Chris says "Now lets just out of here" He says walking towards the exit with Christian.

"Chris I'm sorry ok.." Christian mumbles as they walk out to the rental car "I didn't mean to make you angry, I just think that this isn't just Stephanie and you involved in this, if Hunter finds out.." Christian starts throwing his bag into the trunk of the car.

"If Hunter finds out..I'm a dead man, I know but that's the risk I've got to take. It's not that I'm not listening to you and listening to your advice, it's just that this is really important to me and I'd rather have my heart broken and know that she doesn't want me than to wonder what if..you get what I mean?" Chris replies climbing into the driver's side and pulling the keys out of his pocket.

"Yeah I understand..Just be careful" Christian climbs into the passenger side and they head off to the hotel that the Raw superstars had been booked into that night.
