Brock sat there stiff as a board, not knowing if he should breathe or not. He didn't know what was going through her head about what happened last night. But he did know one thing, he was going to listen to see how she acted on the phone with Dave.
"How are the girls?" Dave asked her.
"Things are going ok. I can't say good, I can't say horrible, but I can say ok. Things are pretty touchy around here." Trish replied. Brock couldn't help but smirk when she used the term "touchy" with Dave.
"What do you mean?" Dave asked.
"Well, the girls aren't taking this well, and they're both reacting differently, so it's a matter of handling this one way with one and another way with the other. Jenni's sick with the flu right now and she's been really, really sick." Trish replied. No longer was she going to sugarcoat things for him.
"What about Aly? How's she doing?" Dave questioned.
"Aly's a whole 'nother story. She's really having a tough time. What hurt her the most is that you weren't the one to tell her. So I've been doing what I can to try and explain why you didn't, but that just doesn't matter to her. It's starting to sink in, but her whole attitude is different, her being is different, and you can tell that there's something brooding in her head, but she doesn't open up often, and when she does, she just lets it all go. Do you remember what this weekend is?" Trish asked.
"Um.Melissa's due date?"
"No, that's still a few weeks away." Trish replied.
"Then no I don't, what is it?"
"It's Aly's state meet for gymnastics. You were going to go with and be an assistant coach and she was so excited and so proud that you were going to be there to cheer her on." Trish replied with a slightly upset tone. She couldn't believe that he had forgotten something so important.
Dave gasped, "Oh my god, I totally forgot. Oh god, is how upset is she?"
"Honestly Dave, the girl is devastated. Her dreams were shattered. She was totally bawling and screaming. Dave, this is so hard on her. You were her hero, the immortal. She doesn't know what to think or what to believe anymore."
Dave felt so bad. He knew that he had screwed a lot of things up, but he also knew how important this was to Aly. "Maybe if I get out on a pass for the event." He started to ponder out loud.
"Dave I really don't think that would be a good idea. You haven't even been there that long, and trust me, she'll make a scene, and I don't think it would be good to do that in front of her friends. At least let this sink into her a little more. Jenni's more confused and concerned then she is upset. I didn't tell you, Aly and Jenni got into a HUGE fight yesterday."
"About what?"
"Jenni knew that Aly was having a hard time dealing with this, so she told Aly that she wanted them to come and talk to me together and get all of the unanswered questions out. Aly didn't want to think about it, let alone talk about it so they started yelling back and forth and Jenni yelled somethings at her that hit her pretty hard, so Aly yelled somethings back at Jenni and I had to go in there and referee them." Trish replied.
"What "things" were they saying to eachother?" Dave inquired.
"Dave, they were pretty harsh, I don't know if you want to hear them."
"Yes I want to hear them, I can handle it, what did they say to each other." Dave shot back. Going through the withdrawls made him temper on edge, and as much as he tried to hide it, it showed through once and awhile.
Trish could hear the temper in his voice and all it did was infuriate her more. She knew that she shouldn't be angry, but she couldn't help it. She was really starting to pick up on her feelings that she had been hiding, and she knew that they were probably starting to show through because of the night she had had with Brock. "Well Dave, Jenni told Aly that she was angry all of the time and she needed to talk to me about it. When Aly yelled at Jenni that she wasn't angry, Jenni looked at her and said that she was just like you, when you can't accept the truth, you go into denial and that's why Aly and Angie don't get along is because she's so much like you. So Aly got upset and told Jenni that the reason that her and you aren't close is because she is so much like Angie. She told her that just like Angie she thinks that she knows everything, and she nags and nags until finally the other person explodes. That made Jenni cry and Aly was crying and things got really loud and that's when I got involved."
Dave was stunned, he couldn't believe how much this was affecting him. He didn't know what to say.
"So as far as Aly's state meet is concerned, I took the weekend off and I'm taking her, and I'm going to do the assistant coaching and Angie is meeting us out there. Jenni was going to come to, but I don't know how well she'll be feeling today." Trish advised. "And Nattie has cut more teeth. She is getting so big and daring." She added.
Dave couldn't believe how things were without him. And he couldn't believe how much pain he was causing the girls. At this point he didn't even think about Trish or how she was doing with all of this.
"This morning Melissa has a doctor's appointment, so I have to take her in for that, then I come back and Randy is driving to the airport so he can bring my car back here because from there we fly out to Raw." Trish added. "How are you doing?"
"It's really hard. They're taking me off of the withdrawl medicine so that way I don't become addicted to that so it's really starting to come through. I've been going to group therapy and individual therapy and reading a lot and going through the AA and NA books for guidance." Dave replied. "But since you sound busy, I'll let you go and I'll talk to you later."
"Ok, take care." Trish barely got out before he hung up. Trish was so furious that when she hung up her phone she threw it to the floor. She turned so she wasn't facing Brock and started to cry.
Brock could tell that something was wrong, but he didn't know if the reality of what they did last night was what was wrong or if it was something Dave said. He slowly reached out and put his hand on Trish's shoulder, "Trish?"
Trish turned and put her face into his chest and started to cry. He held her close and rubbed her back. She didn't talk, all she did was cry and hold him. He rocked her a little but made sure to hold her.
"Trish, are you almost ready? We have to go in 15 minutes." Melissa said through the door.
Trish sniffled, as she opened her mouth to answer, she heard Brock reply, "She'll be ready by then."
Melissa's eyes opened wide and she ran into her room to tell Randy. Trish looked up to face him, "Thanks." She said quietly.
"Do you want to talk?" Brock asked her.
"Mind if I get ready while we talk?" Trish asked.
"Nope, not at all." He replied.
"What do you want to talk about?" Trish asked.
"Are you ok?"
Trish stopped and looked up at him and nodded, "Yes I'm ok. Let me make this a little easier, no I don't regret what happened last night. Actually, I don't know about you, but I quite enjoyed myself."
"I enjoyed it too. Trish, you know how I feel about you." Brock began to say to her when Trish held up her hand.
"Please, let me finish. I have to get this out," Trish interrupted. "I know that I put on this big, strong, stand by my man front, but I don't know how well it's going to work. Do you realize through that whole conversation, he never even asked how I was doing? How I felt? He didn't even thank me again for taking the girls, let alone having to go through their pain and suffering with them. I know that I told him that I would be there, and I think that for the girls' sake, I need to give it a shot, but then last night happened, and it made me realize a lot of things about myself, and I really need to think about this."
Brock nodded, "I totally understand, and I'm not going to rush you or push you." He gave her that big, shit-eating grin of his, "But, as wonderful as last night was, if you ever need anything, you let me know."
Trish smiled and playfully slugged him. "Studly. Now I know why I call you that. But seriously, I promise you that I will think about this and I will let you know where I stand."
"That's fine Trish, I'm in no rush. And I understand where you're coming from." Brock said to her and went and hugged her. "I'm going to put my clothes on now that you're almost dressed."
"Are you going to stay here while we go the doctor's?" Trish asked.
"Yeah, probably, why?"
"Could you do me a HUGE favor? Could you check on Jenni and see how she's feeling. That's what's going to depend on if she comes with or not." Trish replied.
"No prob. I'll take care of her."
Trish went over and kissed him one last time, "Thanks cowboy." And she went downstairs, "Missy, let's go."
**Well, how will the doctor's appointment go? What will they find out? What about the state meet? Let alone Trish and Brock? Please continue to read and review!! Thanks! And everyone stay safe this weekend!**
