Don't own Rob, Dawn, or Stacy... they own themselves... Damnit...
Missed Chances: Chapter 9
Dawn sat quietly in one of the waiting room chairs, her head in her hands. She couldn't believe what had happened minutes ago. She had kissed Rob. And then, Rob had kissed her back. She was so confused, she was starting to feel dizzy. She slowly turned around, looking at the entrance to the hospital. Rob had exited the building that way moments ago. He was probably on his way back to Stacy now. He was probably going to tell her exactly what happened, then beg for her to forgive him. Things just never worked her way. Maybe she should go apologize to Rob. Say it was all a mistake. The only problem was, she wasn't sorry... and she didn't think it was all a mistake. She had meant everything she had said, and she was happy that she'd gotten the nerve to kiss him. If only Rob felt the same way.
"What are you thinking, Rob?" She questioned out loud, wishing she knew.
*~*~*
Rob sighed as he sat in his seat on the plane. He'd quickly went back to the airport and asked for a plane ticket back to Toronto. Luckily, the next plane to Toronto was leaving right as he bought his ticket. So, he had just gotten right on the plane and sat down. Now, he was on his way back to Toronto, still not sure of what to do. He couldn't believe that he and Dawn had kissed. Not once, but twice. And the worst part was that he'd enjoyed it. He wasn't *allowed* to enjoy it; he had a girlfriend. A beautiful, sweet girlfriend. Stacy was his girlfriend, not Dawn. But... then why couldn't he stop thinking about Dawn? Dawn was supposed to be a part of his past, well, at least until she had debuted on Smackdown. He hadn't seen that coming. And now that Dawn was back, things were so complicated. He loved Stacy with all his heart, but there was just something about Dawn. Maybe the best idea would be to tell Stacy exactly what had happened. But, then he risked losing her. Stacy had been hurt so many times before by her boyfriends, and Rob didn't want to be added to that list. He had never cheated on one of his girlfriends before, so why did he do it?
"Ugh... I fucked up," He muttered to himself, as he rested his head on the window of the plane. He reached into his wallet and pulled out a picture of him and Stacy a Christmas party in 2001. They were so happy. She was sitting his lap, kissing him on the cheek. He wished they could go back to those days.
"Excuse me, sir."
Looking away from the picture, Rob glanced over to see a little boy standing in the aisle next to his seat. "Yes?" Rob questioned.
"Could I please have your autograph? I'm a *big* fan of yours."
Smiling, Rob nodded and took the pen and paper from the boy and quickly signed his name. "There ya go."
The boy grinned. "Thank you. Um... my sister wanted me to ask you a question..."
"What's the question?"
"She wanted me to ask you which Diva you thought was the prettiest."
Rob's eyes widened slightly at the question. He'd never really thought about. But, of course his answer was obvious. "The prettiest Diva in the WWE is... Dawn Marie."
*~*~*
Wiping the tears that fought to fall from her eyes, Stacy Keibler wandered around the hallway of the hotel she was staying at. All this stuff with Rob was finally getting to her. Things had been perfect until Dawn Marie came along. She didn't want to be so resentful of the pretty brunette, but she couldn't help it. Dawn had done something to get Rob's attention, and Stacy was actually jealous. Rob was *her* boyfriend, not Dawn's. Dawn had no right butting in on their relationship. "Btich," She muttered, taking a deep breath.
"Stace?" A familiar voice questioned. "Are you okay?"
Turning around, Stacy nodded. "I'm fine, Andrew."
Andrew Martin didn't look so sure. "You've been crying, something has to be wrong."
Sighing, Stacy met Andrew's eyes, seeing the concern in them. "I'm... I'm okay. Just some things on my mnd."
"Like what?" The tall Canadian questioned, reaching out to lightly touch Stacy's arm. "You look really upset... I just wanna help."
"It's just... Rob and Dawn. I think there's something going on between them. Rob denied it when I asked him about it, but I don't know if I believe him. He went all the way to New Jersey because Dawn's parents got into an accident. He rushed down there. I told him it wasn't a good idea, but he didn't care. My opinion didn't matter to him."
Andrew shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe what Rob had done. Here was Stacy, his girlfriend, crying in the middle of a hallway. All because of him. Rob should be there to comfort her, but where was he? In New Jersey with Dawn Marie. He could kill the little asshole. "Stacy, I'm so sorry. You don't deserve to be treated this way."
Stacy gave him a skeptical look, remembering how Andrew had treated her the same, or even worse, when they had been together. "Maybe not, but I've treated this way for so long, it's become a way of life for me."
"Well, it shouldn't be. I treated you horribly when we were together, and I'm sorry. You deserved better than me, I thought you had that with Rob. I guess I was wrong."
"Me too," Stacy agreed. "But, I'll be okay, I guess."
Sighing, Andrew lightly took hold of Stacy's arm, pulling her towards him. When she was close enough, he wrapped his large arms around her small frame, holding her tightly.
Normally, Stacy would've objected... she didn't trust Andrew very much. But at that moment, the affection was welcomed and the comfort was needed. She wrapped her small arms around his waist, resting her head on his shoulder as she let herself cry.
"It's okay, Stace," Andrew consoled, sighing. "It's okay."
*~*~*
Dawn Marie looked up at the clock in the waiting room of the hospital; noticing that it was nearly three in the morning. She was so tired, but she couldn't go to sleep. There was so much on her mind. The doctors had told her that her parents would be okay, but they needed to keep them in the hospital for a few more days. They had told her that she could go back to Toronto, but she didn't think it was the best idea. She would just meet up with everyone at their next stop, New York City. She wasn't that far away.
As she curled herself up in one of the chairs, a blanket over top of her, Dawn closed her eyes and thought back to the first night her and Rob had met. She had already known who he was, so she was excited to meet him. He was a little cocky, but still sweet. She had started developing feelings for him that night. Unfortunately, she'd waited too long to tell him, and now he had someone else. Someone prettier, and nicer, and someone just *not* her. She was nothing compared to Stacy. Never had been, never would be. And Rob knew it. Feeling tears in her eyes, Dawn wiped them away quickly, and tried to go to sleep.
*~*~*
Rob quickly jumped out of his car, running into the hotel. He needed to get to Stacy. He needed to tell her the conclusion he'd come to on the plane. It was serious, and she needed to hear it. He quickly ran down the hallway, looking for Stacy's room. He stopped before he got there, though, noticing two people standing before him. It was Stacy and Andrew Martin. And Stacy was in Andrew's arms. "Stacy..."
Jumping, Stacy pulled away from Andrew and turned to face Rob. The look on her face nearly broke Rob's heart, but what he was about to say needed to be said.
"What do you want?" Andrew questioned, anger obvious in his voice.
Ignoring the tall man, Rob kept his gaze on Stacy. "Stacy, we need to talk."
Stacy gave Rob a confused look. "I..."
"It's really important," He interrupted. He was determined to get this out tonight, before he lost his nerve. "Can we please go back to our room to talk?"
Sighing, Stacy nodded slowly. She watched as Rob walked past her and Andrew, heading straight for there room. She had a feeling that whatever he had to say wouldn't be good. She gave Andrew one last look before walking past him to the room.
