Brock awoke to the sound of the doorbell. He stirred a little, and then rolled over to try to go back to sleep when the doorbell rang again. He heard someone run down the stairs to answer the door. Brock fixed his pillow and started to fall back to sleep when he heard Randy holler for Trish.
Trish stirred a little. Brock looked at her, she looked so peaceful lying there, "She sure wasn't that way last night." Brock thought to himself. He heard Randy holler for her again. Brock got up and pulled his boxers on and walked out of Trish's room.
Dave was shocked as he seen Brock leave Trish's room in just his boxers. He was crushed, he was too late. Why did he think that he would ever have a chance with her again? Dave looked at Randy, "Look, I've gotta go, I have to get down to Texas, just tell Trish that I .actually.never mind, I'll call her."
Randy turned to see what Dave had seen. He saw Brock coming down the stairs. He turned to Dave and nodded. "How about I let her know that you stopped by?"
Dave nodded his head and turned to head to the car. Brock got to the door, "Hey Dave." He called to him. "Where ya going? Why don't you stay and we can have breakfast and we can catch up on everything?" Brock had been so busy lately that he had lost touch with Trish and Dave.
Dave couldn't believe what he was hearing. Doesn't Brock realize what this is doing to him? "I can't, I have to get going, but I'll catch up with you later." Dave replied and got in his car and drove off.
Randy couldn't believe the way that Brock had responded to Dave either. Why would he want to rub it in his face that he's with Trish now and Dave isn't? Randy shook his head a little and headed back upstairs still trying to make sense of the whole thing.
Brock was downstairs, he decided to make Trish breakfast. He started cooking when he heard someone clear their throat. He looked up and saw Trish standing in the doorway. He smiled, "Good morning."
Trish smiled, "Good morning. You're phone rang, but I didn't want to answer it, so it went to your voicemail." She handed him his cell phone. "What are you doing?"
"I thought that I would surprise you by making you breakfast in bed, but you're up." Brock said to her, "So you have to go upstairs and go back to bed."
Trish laughed, "Are you going to make me?"
Brock stood there and then made a quick move to grab her. Trish shrieked and started to run upstairs. Brock chased her all the way to her room, he picked her up and playfully threw her on her bed. Then he jumped onto her bed next to her and started to tickle her. Trish was shrieking and gasping for breath. Brock went from tickling her feet to trying to tickle her on her sides. Trish gasped and cried out in pain. Brock stopped real quick, "Are you ok? I'm sorry?"
"It's ok, it's just that anything around my abdomen is really tender because of the radiation." Trish said panting. "Don't worry, it's ok."
Brock stood up, "I suppose now you're definitely too awake to go back to bed huh?"
Trish laughed and nodded, "Yeah I am, and you might want to go downstairs and check on your food because it smells like it's burning."
"Shit." Brock whispered and ran downstairs.
Trish started laughing and went to find something to wear for the day.
There was a tap on her door, "Come in." Trish called.
Melissa walked in, "Hey, what are you doing today?"
"Well, I have therapy, but other than that nothing until tonight, then I have my workout. What's up?"
"Just thought that maybe we could have a talk, about everything." Melissa said to her quietly.
"Sure, that's not a problem. How about, I pick you up at 2:00 p.m., we'll go grab lunch, and then we'll come back here and talk?" Trish suggested. "If I get done with the therapy earlier, then I'll call to make sure you're here."
"That sounds great, I have to take Randy to the airport at 12:00p.m. So if you get done early, just come back here." Melissa said with a smile. "Thanks Trish."
"Anytime kiddo." Trish said giving her a hug. Melissa hugged her back and went back to her room.
Trish walked downstairs to find a pouting Brock, "What happened?"
"I ruined our breakfast, do you want to run to the diner before I have to go?" He offered.
Trish smiled, "Sure, let me go tell Randy and Melissa."
"If you want, you can see if they want to come with." Brock called to her.
Trish got to Melissa's room and knocked on the door. Randy opened it. "Good morning! Do you guys want to come and get some breakfast with Brock and I?"
Randy looked at Melissa, "Are you hungry?"
Melissa laughed, "Am I ever not?"
Randy smiled and turned to Trish, "We'll be ready in 5 minutes."
Trish laughed and headed back downstairs.
Soon Randy and Melissa came downstairs, "We're all set." Melissa said. Everyone headed out to Trish's car. They all piled in and headed off to the diner.
They sat down, and figured out what they were going to order. They began to talk about all sorts of things when Randy looked at Trish, "So did Dave call you yet?"
Trish shook her head no and had a confused look on her face, "No, not yet this morning, why?"
"Well he came over this morning looking for you. Didn't Brock tell you?"
Brock hit his head with his hand, "Sorry, I forgot. Dave was over this morning, but he left."
"When was he here? Was everything ok?" Trish asked curiously.
"He looked like something might be wrong, and he was really quiet, but he said that he would call you and took off." Randy responded. He wondered if Brock intentionally didn't tell Trish that Dave was there.
"I'm going to go and call him. I left my phone in the car, excuse me for a moment." Trish said as she jumped up and went outside.
She grabbed her phone and called Dave. It took him 3 rings to answer, but finally she heard a sad, lonely voice answer, "Hello?"
"Dave, it's Trish. How are you?" Trish responded.
"I'm ok, how are you?" Dave replied still sounding sad.
"I'm ok. I was surprised to find out that you were over this morning and you didn't hang out. Is there something going on?"
"Yeah, yeah there is." He answered slowly. "I'm on my way to Virginia, and then Texas."
"Why, what's going on?" Trish asked concerned.
"Well, Angie was in a serious car accident and they don't know what her outcome is going to be. She's in intensive surgery right now. I have to get the girls and get down to the hospital."
"Oh my god Dave, I'm so sorry. Do you want me to come down there and help? Or if you want, I can take the girls if you'd like? Anything that I can do to help, please let me know." Trish said stunned.
"No, it's ok. You've got other things going on, you don't need to worry yourself with this. You stay up there and take care of things up there." Dave replied.
"Are you driving or flying?" Trish asked.
"I'm flying, I'm at the airport waiting for my flight." Dave replied.
"When is it?"
"Not for a couple hours, but I'm on stand-by in case someone doesn't show up for the flight ahead of mine." Dave replied. "Ashley called and got Aly out of school and I'm going to go and pick her and Nattie up and bring them to Texas so we can all be there. Jenni isn't taking this well, and she could use us."
"Dave, why are you bringing Nattie? If you're at the hospital, she's not going to have fun sitting there all day." Trish asked confused.
"Because I was supposed to pick up Nattie anyways because Ashley is going on a vacation and she's not bringing Nattie with." Dave responded.
"Why don't I take care of Natalie? That way you can be down there with the girls and you won't have to worry about her. I don't mind." Trish offered.
"No, that's ok, I can't ask you to do that. I'll work something out, I can always put her in day care if needed." Dave replied quickly. The last thing he wanted was her having to take care of Nattie now that she has a new boyfriend.
"Dave it's no problem, I promise. I mean, I understand where you're coming from, but I want you to know that I'm always willing to help. I'll always be there for you." Trish said to him. She was a little hurt that he didn't want her to watch Nattie for him.
"Thanks. I'll let you go, and I'll talk to you later." Dave said quickly.
"Ok, well take care, and I'll talk to you soon." Trish said. And she hung up the phone.
Dave hung up his phone, and had tears in his eyes. "I can't believe I lost her to my friend." He said to himself.
Trish went back in the restaurant, "Guys, I'm really sorry, but I need to go to the airport. Dave could really use someone right now. Angie was in a serious car accident and they don't know if she'll make it. I'm going to take a cab, you guys take my car. I'm going to surprise Dave, he could use it."
Everyone was stunned. Finally Melissa spoke, "Ok, I'll make sure the car makes it back to the house. And I'll make sure the boys get to their planes on time."
"Thanks Missy, I'm really sorry you guys." Trish turned to Brock, she kissed him on the cheek and held him, "Thank you for the wonderful night last night. I know that things didn't quite turn out the way you planned, but thank you very much."
Brock nodded his head, "It's my pleasure, and you know what I've always told you."
Trish nodded, "Yup, sure do. There's my cab, I'll talk to you guys later." And she ran off to the cab.
**Well, what's going to happen when Trish arrives at the airport? What will the confrontation between Trish and Dave be like? What in the world happened between Brock and Trish the night before?? Please continue to read and review!**
