Hope ya enjoy! Keep reviewing! ----------------------------------------------------------:----------------- -------------------------------------------- After Raw went off the air, Stacy, Lita, and Trish went out to grab a bite of dinner. Trish was still kind of bummed about not being able to talk to Chris after his match. She truly didn't mean to cause him to lose; she just wanted to make sure Jazz didn't. She was extremely pissed off that Teddy Long put his hands on her. No man in his right mind would ever do that to a woman. Obviously he wasn't. As Trish was starring off into space, Lita and Stacy went out on the dance floor and were having a fun time. Trish's good friend, Rob Van Dam walked in and sat down next to her.

"Hey Trish, what's up?" Rob asked the beautiful blond. Obviously she didn't see him sitting there next to her. "Hello, earth to Trish, are you in there?" He waved his hand in front of her face, and snapped out of her trance.

"Yeah, sorry. Hi Rob. Sorry about you not winning last night. It was a great match." Trish gave Rob the, 'I'm sorry' eyes, and he just shrugged her off.

"Nah, its alright. How are you holdin' up. I saw what went on between you and Chris earlier. I still think he's up to something. I mean, come on, he saved you two times, and then this week, he leaves the arena before you even have a chance to talk to him. I honestly think that now, he's playing with yo---."

"Rob, thanks for trying to come to a conclusion, but I don't know anymore. I talked to him before the show, and he didn't seem like it was that way. Well, I really didn't talk to him, I kind of just, it's hard to explain." Trish sighed and took a sip of her drink. Stace and Lita came back from the dance floor and spied Rob sitting with Trish.

"Hi Rob," both the girls exclaimed. They looked kind of worn out, like they were tired. They asked Trish to join them, but she said she was too beat, after being in a fight with Jazz two times that night. They told her she needed to get over it, and just come have some fun, but she just ignored them, and began thinking once again, about Chris...

----------------------------------------------------------------:----------- -------------------------------------------------------

Christian sitting at the bar as Chris came back from the bathroom. He had two girls on either arm, and asked Chris if he wanted one.

"Maybe later C. I'm just, kind of tired. I'm going to head back to the hotel, so I'll see you later. Bye" He started walking off and Christian just starred in amazement.

"Alright C-Man, I'll talk to you later." And at that, Chris disappeared in the crowd. He walked out to his rental, and got in. 'Why did I even come out tonight? I knew I wasn't going to have any fun. I shouldn't even have listened to Christian. Trish is not a broad. She's a gentle and caring person, and she knows how to be respectful. Unlike that assclown, who of course, is always thinking of himself.' He started up the engine, and drove back to the hotel. Once he got there he found Stone Cold Steve Austin on his ATV. 'He's always on that thing. I don't see why the board...' And that was it. He knew what Trish meant by wanting him to change. When she wanted him to change. He was one of the main people who wanted Steve Austin off of Raw, and Trish knew it. That's what he had to do. He had to prove to her, that he has changed. But how would he do that? Didn't he prove that each time he came down to save her? Well obviously Christian was right about one thing. She was just trying to get back at him.Or was she? Was she really trying to ruin his match? 'Damn, this is so hard. Why can't it just go back to the way it was before she found out about the bet?'

----------------------------------------------------------------------:----- ----------------------------------------------------------------
: The Next Morning: Trish picked up her cell phone to check her messages the next morning. She had a few on there so she decided to listen.

"Hi Trish, its Lita. I'm just calling to tell ya that Stace and I are going shopping around the city before that signing I have later tonight. Well, call me back if you wanna come. Talk to ya later girlie."

She deleted that one and made a mental note to call Lita back. She did want to go shopping, and yesterday was kind of an off day. So why not go out and buy a pair of shoes? She did owe it to herself. She'd been so depressed lately that she hadn't had the chance to get out for once. The signing last night she had at midnight, could've gone a lot better than it did. She stayed with Stone Cold pretty much the entire time. She was not even looking at Chris at all, so why did she have to be next him. Then she heard the next message on her phone, and was kind of taken aback...

"Umm, hey Trish. Its Chris. Look about last night during Raw. The reason I came down to save you is because I couldn't stand to see anyone hurt you. Not like its compared to what I did, but nobody should even lay a finger on you. Anyways, next week, I really want to talk to you, so if you don't mind, come find me, or I'll find you, or we'll find each other. Oh and Trish..." Before he could finish, the message cut him off. 'Great, now I won't know what else he needed. Damn phone.' She threw it down without even listening to the rest of them. She took a 1/2 hour shower, and then went out with Lita and Stacy.

When she got to the mall, Stacy gave her a hug. "Wow, you're looking a lot better than you did last night. Feel as good as you look?" Trish flashed her pearly whites at Stace, and just sighed.

"Don't I wish I felt as good as I look. I feel 10 times worse than I did last night. He called me ya know. He asked me to meet him somewhere next week to talk. But I don't know."

"Wait!" Stacy got this really confused look on her face. "Didn't you talk to him when I told you to last night Trish?"

"Well, I tried, but he wasn't there. I have no idea where he went, and right now I don't care. I don't even want to think about that, I just want to have a girls day out, and buy new shoes. Is that a crime?"

"Nope, not at all," Lita finally chimed in. She'd been quite ever since Trish had gotten there, and finally she spoke up. Trish just laughed at her, and then the three went to work, hitting every store in the mall...

°Kind of got stuck, but hey, I pulled through! Next chapter will be up either Monday before Raw, or Sunday.you decide!
