Chapter 22

Once David and Rachel made it out of bed and showered, they made their way to the arena, they had a small photo shoot with Evolution and their Manager Rachel of course, and then Monday Night Raw.

Rachel was walking around back stage in a grey pin stripped skirt that came to mid-thigh with grey 2½ inch heeled knee high boots, and a Grey pin stripped button up vest that matched her skirt, and let a couple of inches of bare mid-drift show...Her hair was down hugging the curves of her body.

Rachel was going over the small script for her that night when someone bumped into her and she dropped the script...She didn't think anything about it, until a big hand held it out to give it back to her and a rough southern accented voice said, "Sorry about that."

Rachel's head snapped up as she looked into the familiar eyes of Mark Callaway as she cussed under breath not realizing it had already been 6 months, and he was off of suspension...Rachel swallowed hard and suddenly felt all her courage sinking to the bottom of her knee high boots.

Mark looked down and saw her hands physically shaking...and noticed her bottom jaw was quivering...Mark's empty hand came up in defense and he started to say something to her, when she snapped around and took off running down the hallway...'To Evolution's dressing room no doubt' Mark thought.

Mark noticed he still had her script in his hand and knew he had to go give it to her and clear the air with her and David...once he'd gone through the Anger Management classes for a month, he suddenly realized most of his anger came from drinking so much, so while attending the anger management he went to alcoholics anonymous. He wasn't cured, but he was on the road to recovery.

Mark knew that in order for him to have that kind of a physical effect on Rachel, he had to of scared the shit out of her pretty good...He just couldn't remember what he'd done to her, cause when he attacked her those months ago, he was pretty alcoholed up.

He'd gotten an ear full from his daughter about getting help and also had several talks with her boyfriend MJ, cause he'd been through the same thing cause his father was an alcoholic...so MJ was telling him how his drinking was effecting his daughters life...about how she was watching him go down in flames and as hard as she tried there was nothing she couldn't do to help him. After watching his Kitten cry about it, he finally woke up and got serious help.

David was sitting in Evolution's dressing room with Ric, Randy and Paul, when Rachel walked in and tried to act like nothing was wrong and sat next to David. He could tell immediately by how she was ringing her hands, something was wrong.

David pulled her over and could feel her body shaking and said, "Rachel what's wrong?" Rachel said, "Oh, nothing I just ran into an old friend." Randy could tell the red head was shaken and said, "Do all you're old friends scare the shit out of you?" Rachel said, "Well, when they are 6'10", 300 lbs of muscle, and have put me in the hospital once before...then yes...yes they do."

Paul cringed and said, "Shit I forgot Callaway is back...You saw him didn't you?" Rachel nodded unable to keep the tears from falling...David said, "Don't worry Rach, he's not going to hurt you ever again, I promised you he wouldn't and he won't." Paul said, "He didn't hurt you or talk to you did he?" Rachel said, "I couldn't tell you, I wasn't paying attention, I was just thinking of hauling ass."

David hugged Rachel to him as she tried to calm down.
