appreciate them! Please continue to read and review! Thanks again!**
Dave looked to Trish with tears in his eyes, "I'll get help." He said softly.
Trish held him as he cried. "Look, I'll get things squared away. I'll take the girls while you're gone. I'll talk to Vince and Steph, and I'll." Trish started to explain when Dave cut her off.
"You don't have to do this. I don't want to make this any harder on you than it already is." Dave said to her.
"I want to do this, I want to help you. I don't mind, honest." Trish said to him.
Dave hung his head, "I've been such an awful person. Trish, I'm sorry." He said holding her hands.
Trish's eyes filled with tears, "Dave, I."
But Dave cut her off again, "Trish, I don't want to drag you down through this. You're right, you have the baby to think of, and all I've ever done to you is bring you pain. I want you to know that you don't have to be afraid to break up with me."
Trish couldn't believe her ears, "Dave, maybe you didn't hear me earlier. If you're willing to own up to your mistakes and go and seek help then I will be in your corner. I'm not going to leave you if you're willing to change. If you're willing to kick the drugs and the booze then I'm not going to leave you. I will be right by your side to see you through it."
Dave stood up and yelled at her, "Why would you do that? Why would you put your own life on hold just for me? The one who has done nothing but hurt you." Dave took his arm and cleared the nightstand with it. He was so frustrated with fighting his demons and hurting the ones that he loved.
Brock couldn't take it anymore, he didn't know if Trish was getting beat up in there or not. As he started pounding on the door he heard Trish yell back at him, "Because I love you. Damn it Dave I love you. You have made me happy. And even though we have had more than our share of problems, I love you."
Dave stood there shocked. She still loved him. She wanted to be there for him. Trish got up and opened the door, "We're ok." She said to whoever was on the other side. Dave heard her laugh a little, "No, I'm fine. Nothing's going on, but thank you." And she shut the door. "Who was that?" He asked nervously.
"Brock has the room on that side of yours and he thought that I was getting put through the wall so I had to let him know that I'm ok. That's all." Trish replied quietly. She went over to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Dave, you tell me what I need to do to help you through this and I will."
Dave hugged her back and sighed. "Well, I want to go somewhere for treatment, obviously doing it while still living at home won't cut it, especially because of the withdrawl. I think that I would like to go somewhere in Virginia. I would like to be close to Ashley."
Trish nodded, "Ok, I'll bring you there and then the girls and I will be on the Raw tour."
"No," Dave replied. "I don't want you to have to see me there. I'll go on my own, no stops, no drugs. I'll go straight to Ashley's and have her take me. Especially if you're ok with having the girls, I don't need them to see it either."
"Dave, what do you want me to tell the girls? What do you want me to tell Angie?" Trish asked gently. She knew that it was going to be touchy.
"I don't want to lie and I don't want people to walk on egg shells around me. I'm not afraid of them knowing the truth. Same with Vince and Stephanie, just the simple, honest to God truth." Dave replied without any hesitation.
Trish nodded. She knew where he was coming from. If she didn't tell the girls the truth, there would be so much speculation and rumors that it would only hurt worse.
"I'm going to call Ashley, would you mind giving me a couple of minutes?" Dave asked.
"On one condition." Trish said walking towards the bed. "Only if you let me take those." She pointed to his needle and the contents of the case.
Dave nodded, "That's fine. I don't want to see them."
Trish went over and carefully picked it up and put everything inside the case and walked into the hallway.
Dave sat down and called Ashley. "Hello, this is Ashley." She answered.
"I really need your help Ash." Dave said through tears.
"What's going on?" Ashley asked. "And where the hell have you been? I've been trying to get ahold of you for almost a month."
Dave took a deep breath, "I fucked up big time." Was all he said.
"Alright, what happened?" Ashley asked again.
"Look, I'm going to give you the summary and I'll give you details when and if you pick me up." Dave started.
"I'll do whatever you need, now tell me what's going on." Ashley replied.
"I've been drinking again, and I've been doing other things too." Dave said quietly.
"Other things? Like what?" Ashley exclaimed.
"I've been doing coke, heroin, crack, pot." Dave started listing.
"Ok, I've been way out of the loop here. Where do I pick you up and what are we doing?" Ashley asked Dave. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"The airport, I'm flying in. I want to go to a program close to you." Dave said to her.
"You've got it. Call me with the times and I'll be there." Ashley said and she hung up the phone before she started asking him questions that he didn't seem ready to answer yet.
Dave hung up the phone and started crying. He packed his things up. He knew that he needed to get out of there before he seen Jamal again. His body was already starting to get shaky because it needed more and he couldn't play the game anymore.
**Sorry so short, but the next chapter will be much better! How will Trish break the news to everyone? How will they react? How will Dave do in treatment? Any ideas or thoughts or anything, please share! Please continue to read and review! Thanks for all of your support!!**
