THE NEXT MORNING-Trish's P.O.V.
Trish, Stacy and Torrie all stayed at Trish's house while Steph, Amy and Lillian had already booked a hotel room. Trish woke up and decided to make breakfast for the girls. She walked downstairs and seen Randy's shoes by the door. She smiled a little and headed to the kitchen.
Torrie came downstairs shortly after and found Trish in the kitchen. "Morning." Torrie said sleepily.
"Morning. Thought I would make you guys some breakfast before you have to leave." Trish said pouring Torrie a cup of coffee.
"You are so thoughtful." Torrie said accepting the cup from her.
Torrie started helping Trish get everything ready, "Trish, I have a question for you, and if you don't want to answer it, it's ok."
Trish looked at her, "What's up?"
"Well, tonight is Dave's return, so I'm probably going to see him. Do you want me to tell him anything from you?" Torrie asked cautiously.
Trish looked out the window, she slowly took a deep breath, "Well, if you see him, tell him I wish him well."
"How are you doing?" Torrie asked after she squeezed Trish's shoulder.
"Honestly, sometimes it's hard to tell. I still miss him more than ever." Trish started, "But please don't say a word."
Torrie shook her head, "I won't tell him anything you don't want him to know."
"Then just tell him that I wish him well and congratulations." Trish said. She wiped her eyes a little and went back to fixing breakfast.
Torrie couldn't get over what Trish was going through. She wished there was something she could do for her.
Soon Stacy came downstairs talking to Randy and Melissa. "Perfect timing guys, breakfast is served!" Trish exclaimed.
That's when Torrie realized that Trish had been masking her feelings for Dave. She didn't show people the hurt unless they truly asked about it or unless she trusted them. She couldn't see her opening up like this to Steph or some of the girls that she wasn't as close to.
Everyone sat down at the table and ate their breakfast. They talked with Randy and Melissa about what had been going on with them. Then Trish looked at the clock, "Guys, we've gotta go if I'm going to get you to the airport on time."
The girls jumped up and ran upstairs. They came back down and hugged Randy and Melissa and everyone rubbed Melissa's tummy. They piled into Trish's SUV and they were off.
They got to the airport and through security just as they were beginning to announce the boarding for Torrie's flight. They hugged and Torrie whispered in Trish's ear that she would tell him.
They waved to Torrie and walked down to Stacy's gate. They found two empty seats and sat down. "So, are you excited for your return?"
Trish smiled and nodded, "Yeah I am. I feel ready, I'm actually glad it wasn't earlier because I really feel like I can make an impact with my return."
"Good, we're ready to have you back on Raw. We give Brock a hard time because he doesn't get to run around with you like he used to."
Trish smiled, "Yeah, but he's still on the phone with me all the time."
The girls laughed. Stacy looked at her, "Do you ever regret not starting a relationship with Brock?"
Trish shook her head, "I never regretted it, but for a time I pondered if I did the right thing or not. I mean, Brock's been there for me through everything, but I think that if it was meant to be, then something would have brought us together. I'm very lucky to have him as such a great friend and if that's all we'll ever be, then I'm ok with it and so is he. Besides, him and Nicole have been doing great, and if they can get everything to work out and stay a family, then that's what I would like to see."
"Wow, you are such a good person Trish. Dave and Brock don't know what they're missing out on." Stacy commented.
They heard the announcement for boarding ring out over the PA. Stacy and Trish stood up and Trish walked her to the gate. They hugged, and Stacy left. Trish waved and headed back for the car.
Dave arrived at the arena shortly after 10:00 a.m. Since the taping was live, they didn't require them to be at the arena until noon, but Dave wanted to get there early. He walked in and headed towards the gym. He walked in and no one else was there. He set his workout bag down and began his workout regime.
Soon, D-Von Dudley walked into the gym. "Dave my brotha how are you doing?"
Dave laughed and turned around, "D-Von, I'm doing good, how are you doing?"
"Well, I'm doing good, but I must say that we have missed you around here." D-Von commented and walked over and shook his hand. "Are you ready for tonight?"
"More than ever." Dave said with a smile.
The two started catching up while working out. Soon the gym was filling up with the Smackdown stars. Everyone came over and greeted Dave and congratulated him on his return.
One of the stagehands came in and announced 15 minutes till the meeting, so everyone filed off to their locker rooms and showered up and prepared for the meeting.
On his way to the ring, he felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked and it was Brock. "Good to see ya back."
"Thanks, it's good to be back." Dave said to him. They hadn't spoken since the day of Angie's accident.
"Guess what?" Brock said to Dave.
"What?" Dave responded. He knew that they had been best friends before, but it was hard to look at him knowing that he was with Trish.
"Nicole gave me a portable DVD player as a surprise when I was home. I had told her that I wanted one, and she went out and got it. This thing is so sweet. Now we can watch movies on the bus." Brock said with a big smile.
Dave looked at him with a confused look, "That's great. How's the picture on that?"
"The picture is actually pretty good." Brock said.
"So you're back with Nicole?" Dave asked as they climbed in the ring.
"Yeah, yesterday was our 3 month anniversary of getting back together. Things are going really well this time, maybe we worked out all of our problems."
"So when did you and Trish break up?" Dave asked instantly regretting that it was out loud.
Brock laughed, "Dude, Trish and I have never dated. We've always been just friends." He didn't feel that Dave needed more details.
"Oh, I knew that." Dave said trying to shuff it off.
Brock laughed and patted him on the back while making a mental note to tell Trish that he thought they were dating.
Vince conducted the meeting and welcomed Dave back. He passed out the schedule and Dave seen that they were starting a feud between him and John Cena, which would result with a match at the pay-per-view. He hadn't gotten to know him all that well, so he made sure to find him in the crowd so he could talk to him a bit.
After the meeting was done, Dave felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and it was Torrie. He and Torrie had gotten to know each other since Trish and her were friends, and they all ran around together. "Hey Tor."
"Welcome back Dave." Torrie said with a smile.
"Thanks, good to see you." He said smiling back.
Terri called her over, "I've gotta run, I'll catch up with you later." Torrie said and ran off.
The rest of the day went off without a hitch. Dave met up with Cena and found that they had a lot in common and when it came to Dave interfering in the match, the in-ring intensity these two showed was phenomenal.
Trish was at home, her and Melissa always watched wrestling together. When Dave came down, Trish's eyes lit up. He looked great. His timing was on, and the rage between him and Cena was intense. Whenever Dave was on, Melissa noticed that Trish watched closely. It was like she felt like she could connect with him through the television.
After the match, Dave was headed back to the locker room, he felt great. He had so much adrenaline pumping through him he could bounce off of the ceiling. He heard a female's voice behind him that said, "Great return."
He turned around and it was Jackie Gayda. "Thanks, I'm sorry we haven't met yet. I'm Dave Bautista." He said holding out his hand.
She accepted it, "I'm Jackie Gayda. Nice to officially meet you."
Brock seen the two of them in the hallway, and he didn't really like her, "Hey Dave, there you are. I need to talk to you about something." He said to him.
"Looks like I've gotta run. It's been nice meeting you." Dave said and he turned and headed towards Brock.
"Oh we'll meet again, hopefully in my bed." Jackie said under her breath as she headed to the ladies' locker room.
"Dude, stay away from her, she is nothing but trouble." Brock said to him.
"What are you talking about? We were just introducing ourselves, she can't be that bad." Dave responded.
"No, she's bad news. She's all over any man that has legs back here. She knows that I'm with Nicole, but she's constantly all over me. She's all over Shelton, and anyone who lets her get close to them." Brock advised.
"I see, she's one of those." Dave said nodding.
"Yeah she is, do you want to go out and grab a bite to eat. We could catch up on old times?" Brock inquired.
"Sounds good. Find me when you're match is over." Dave said to Brock and headed towards the showers.
Dave climbed in the shower and let the hot water fall over him. All he could think about was how stupid he was. Trish and Brock NEVER dated. That means that they weren't dating when he thought that they were, and he had been holding a grudge for no reason. "How could I have been so stupid, I should have called her." Dave thought to himself. He knew what he had to do, he had to talk to Torrie.
He quickly got out of the shower. He threw on a pair of wind pants and grabbed a t-shirt to throw on and headed down to the divas' locker room. He threw the shirt over his shoulder and knocked on the door.
Nidia answered the door. She got a big smile, "Welcome back Dave!"
He smiled, "Thanks, is Torrie here?"
"Yeah, I'll get her." Nidia said turning around, "Torrie, you've got someone looking for you."
"Tell Peter I'll be ready in a minute." Torrie called. "I have to find Dave before I can go."
Nidia laughed, "You guys are good." She said to Dave. "Dave's the one that is here for you."
Torrie hit herself in the forehead. "I'll be right there." Soon Torrie appeared "Hey, what's up?"
"Well apparently you were going to look for me to?" He said with a laugh, "But I was wondering if I could talk to you about something."
Sensing it had to do with Trish, she decided to use a cover up, "Yeah, I wanted to tell you that you looked great tonight, and I bet that you and Cena will have a great match on Sunday."
"Thanks, mind if we go somewhere more private?" Dave asked.
"No problem, I know just where to go." Torrie said. She took him to a room that was not being used tonight. "What's up?"
"Torrie, I want to ask you something. And if you don't want to, I understand," Dave asked.
"You can ask me anything." Torrie said patting his leg.
"Have you seen Trish lately?"
Trish nodded her head, "Yeah, actually I just seen her."
"How's she doing?"
Torrie thought back to what Trish had said. "Well, she's doing good. She's antsy to come back though."
Dave smiled. Just as he was about to say something, Torrie looked at him, "And, she told me to tell you that she wishes you well and congratulations on your return."
Dave nodded his head. "Well, if you see her, tell her I'm doing fine." He got up and started pacing, "And if you want to, tell her I think of her from time to time."
Torrie nodded, "I can tell her anything you want me to tell her."
Dave could feel himself growing lonesome thinking about her. God he missed her so much. "Tell her that I hope that she's also doing well, and that.No, just tell her that."
"So I'm able to tell her that you're fine, you think of her from time to time and that you hope she's doing well." Torrie reiterated.
Dave nodded.
"Alright, I will do that."
"Thanks Torrie." Dave said and walked off. He couldn't believe that Trish asked about him. It made him feel a little better for not being over her yet.
