Chapter Sixty-Eight: Dave's P.O.V.

I didn't want to be there. I wanted to be at home, wallowing in my own self pity about Jessie moving on and going out with Adam Copeland. But instead, I was at a house show in Jacksonville, Florida, getting ready for my match with Chris Jericho. I took my time getting on my boots and headed down to catering.

And there she was. Sitting with him, laughing and having a good time. Jessie's smile still lit up the room. My attention was diverted from Jessie when a hand was placed on my shoulder. I turned around to see Paul and Ric behind me.

"Come on, big man. Let's go sit down," Paul told me. I nodded and followed them to an empty table. "Dave, man, you need to get over her, it's been over two months. She's clearly gotten over you, not to mention that you deserve way better."

"I know, H. Just leave me alone about it," I answered. I was seriously tired of hearing all of this. Mainly because I knew it was true and that I did need to get over her. I just didn't want to.

"No, I won't. Dave, you're our friend, we care about you and want what's best for you. And what's best for you right now is to go out with us tonight and find some hot woman for you."

I sighed to myself. Finding a girl tonight wouldn't help me forget about Jessie, but it would take my mind off of her for at least one night. "Fine, I'll go."

"Great, big man, you won't regret it," Paul smiled, getting up from the table, Ric following suit, leaving me by myself.

I glanced back over at the table Jessie was sitting at. Randy and Stacy had joined her and Adam. 'That could've been me' I thought to myself, looking at Adam with envy. 'If only I hadn't listened to Paul and done that to her, I would be the one sitting at the table with her, Randy and Stacy, having a good laugh. My arm around her waist instead of his, but no. I screwed up and this is the consequence. Her moving on and never talking to me again.'

I got up from the table and walked out of catering and down the hall to meet up with Jericho and discuss our match.
