Don't own Rob, Dawn, or Stacy... they own themselves... Damnit...
Missed Chances: Chapter 10
Shutting the door behind Stacy, Rob ran through what he wanted to say. He knew what needed to be said, but he also knew it was going to be very hard to do. He watched as Stacy carefully sat down on the bed, a curious look on her face. She was obviously upset, and Rob didn't blame her. Things had just been so confusing lately, and he felt so bad, but yet, he didn't. "Stace," He began, reading to tell her everything.
Stacy looked up, her eyes were red and puffy. It was obvious that she had been crying. And that only made Rob feel worse.
"I, uh... I need to talk to you about stuff. Us."
Stacy's eyes widened slightly, she was obviously kind of worried about what Rob had to say. But, she said nothing, instead listening closely, waiting for what Rob would say next.
"Well okay, about the going to see Dawn thing, I'm sorry. She was just really upset and I wanted to help her. But, now I realize that it was a bad idea."
Still, Stacy said nothing. She just watched Rob closely, listening to hear what else had to say.
"See, while I was there, I did something stupid. I um... kissed Dawn."
Stacy's hazel eyes widened even more. "You did what?" She questioned in a very low voice.
Rob wasn't sure if she actually wanted him to repeat himself. "I... uh... I kissed her. It was an accident..."
"How the fuck was it an accident?" Stacy yelled, jumping up. "You don't accidentally kiss someone! I told you not to go! I told you that you should just leave her alone, but did you listen to me? Of course not. When do you ever? I'm supposed to be your fucking girlfriend, Rob. Not just someone you leave behind when you find someone hotter, when you find a new fuck. Is that what I am? Someone to fuck? You just got into this relationship because you felt bad for me, right?"
"No, Stacy, calm down," Rob replied, trying to keep calm himself. "It was an accident. Dawn was upset, and she was confused, and so was I. We were talking about ECW stuff... our past."
"Oh."
"It just happened. I didn't even think about it. We were talking, and the next thing I knew, we were kissing. But, then I pulled away from her and I left. I came right here. I just... I'm so confused right now."
"Why did you kiss her? It wasn't just a heat of the moment thing. I know it. You've had feelings for her for years now. Were you just acting on them? Doing what you'd been wanting to do for years?"
Looking into Stacy's eyes, Rob couldn't lie to her. He *had* had feelings for Dawn for years. And he had wondered what it would like to kiss her again. But, their kiss earlier that night had honestly been a mistake. He hadn't meant for it to happen. Now, Stacy was infuriated, and he didn't know what to do. Actually, come to think of it, he did.
"Look. Stacy, calm down. No matter what you think, I didn't mean to kiss Dawn. I never meant to hurt you."
"Bullshit," Stacy spat back, the look in her eyes unlike Rob had ever seen. "You've had feelings for her since before we met. Even while we were dating, I know you thought about her all the time. But, I assumed, that since she wasn't around, sooner or later you'd focus on me and only me. But, I was wrong obviously. I never meant anything to you. It was all about that whore all along."
"Hey!" Rob yelled, the look on his face showing complete and utter shock. He had never seen Stacy this angry in his entire life. She had always been the sweet one. He'd only heard her raise her voice on rare occasions. And, this seemed to be one of them. "You have no reason to say those things about Dawn. She has never done anything to you."
"Oh, no," Stacy said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "She's just made my life a living hell since she got here. No big thing."
Sighing, Rob rubbed his hands over his face. This was a battle he was losing. No matter what he said to Stacy, she didn't seem to care. "She didn't do any of this on purpose. She didn't want to hurt you."
"Well, for someone who didn't try, she sure did a hell of a job."
"Stacy, stop it," Rob said, a serious expression on his face. She needed to calm down.
"No!" She yelled back, shaking her head. "I think I have the right to be pissed off! You, my boyfriend, just told me that you kissed another woman! A woman, I might add, that you've been in love with for years! Why the fuck did you even date me? Honestly."
"I... I was, I *am* in love with you."
"You're such a fucking liar," She spat back again. "I don't know who you're trying to convince, Rob; me or you. But, I don't think either of us actually believe it."
"Stacy..."
"No, just stop. I don't need to hear anymore of your lies. If you want to be with Dawn, just go to her."
"What?" Rob asked, thinking he might've heard her wrong.
"I know you heard me," She said, her voice lowering again. "If you care about Dawn so fucking much, go to her. Go be with her. Have a happy fucking life."
Rob sat still, not going anywhere. He had expected Stacy to be mad, hell, he had expected her to throw things at him even, but not this. He hadn't expected any of what was happening. He stared down at his hands, catching sight of his watch. He glanced at the time, and noticed that it was after four in the morning. What if people heard their yelling?
A small sniffle caused Rob to look up. Only then did he notice that Stacy was crying. She had been trying to hold it in since Rob had showed up. But, now it had become too much. Her whole life was bascially unravelling in front of her, and she didn't know how to stop it.
Rob felt a pang in his heart. Guilt and sympathy. He wanted so badly to just hold Stacy in his arms and make everything better. But, part of him said that there was no way he could do that anymore. Things would never be the same with them again. He had ruined it when he'd kissed Dawn. Hell, he'd fucked everything up before it had even started. He'd been in love with Dawn when he'd started dating Stacy. But he thought that maybe someone as great as Stacy would be able to make him forget about Dawn. But, she didn't. He should've just ended the relationship when he had realized that no one could make him change his feelings for Dawn. He should've ended it so Stacy could have found someone else... someone better. But, he didn't. He ruined it all. Now, the two women he cared about most in life probably both hated him. And, he had caused it all. Damn him.
"Stacy," He said quietly, his voice dripping with shame and regret.
Stacy didn't even acknowledge Rob's presence. She was tired of it, tired of him. She had put up with him for years, holding onto the hope that one day he'd forget about Dawn and move on to her. But, it had never happened, and now she knew it never would. Rob was madly in love with Dawn, and she was just a way for him to get his mind off of Dawn. It had never worked, though.
"Stacy," Rob repeated.
Stacy slowly lifted her head the slightest bit, looking right past Rob.
"Stace, I, I'm sorry..."
"I don't care," Stacy replied, the hurt clearly written on her face. "You're not sorry, or you wouldn't have done it."
"Stacy, please," He said again, rubbing his eyes. He was tired, but he couldn't give up. He was so confused. Stacy was right, yet, she was wrong. He *had* been in love with Dawn since before he'd met Stacy, but when he had met Stacy, he'd fallen for her as well. She was gorgeous, sweet, and just about the best person he'd ever met. He couldn't deny his feelings for either woman. They were both so important to him, and now he risked the chance of losing them both. Now, the important questions was, which did he care about more? Was it Stacy, the one he'd been with for over two years? They had never had a fight, besides the one the were having now, and they'd always gotten along so well. He was so comfortable with Stacy, and she was the same with her. But, then there was Dawn. Dawn was funny, sweet, gorgeous, all just like Stacy. But, the two were complete opposites. Dawn was more feisty than Stacy, and harder to get. Stacy was always sweet, never trying to hurt other people's feelings. Dawn didn't care as much what people thought about her. The fact that they were both alike, but both different confused Rob. He didn't know what he wanted. But, he needed to decide right away. "Stacy, I love you..."
Stacy met Rob's eyes for a second, trying to find out if he was serious. It was obvious that she didn't believe him.
"Whether or not you believe me, I truly love you. But, I'm so confused right now. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to hurt anyone."
"Well, you did," Stacy replied. "And I can't deal with it anymore."
"What?" Rob asked, hoping she didn't mean what he thought she meant.
"I can't deal with this anymore," She repeated. "Pick one of us."
Rob's eyes widened. "I... I don't know if I can."
"Well, then that's your decision," Stacy told him, tears welling in her eyes again. Without saying another word, she grabbed her jacket and left the room.
Rob sat on the bed, a few stray tears running down his face as he stared into space.
*~*~*~*~*
Quickly, Stacy made her way out of the hotel. Once she was outside, she reached into her coat pocket and took her cell phone out, dialing a number.
Once she heard the person on the other line pick up the phone, Stacy started crying.
"Andrew? It's Stacy. I uh... I think Rob and I just broke up."
