"So how are you feeling?" John questioned, cocking an eyebrow at her as he cut up some bacon. They were eating breakfast in the restaurant in the hotel they'd stayed in last night. It was a popular hotel, most of the other Smackdown superstars were also staying there, he'd noticed as he glanced around it, catching sight of RVD flirting with Michelle McCool, while Rey sat by idly and laughed. Jackie, sitting across the table from him, sighed. She poked absent-mindedly at her fluffy pancakes.
"I guess I'm okay." She speared a piece that had broken away with her fork and chewed slowly on it. Once she swallowed, she narrowed her hazel eyes at her plate. "I don't feel any different, you know? I just feel... neutral. It's like I'm forcing myself to walk around and act normal because I'm alive." He bit his lip painfully. "It's just... so weird." He nodded. He hadn't been through anything like this before, but the best he could do for Jackie was to sympathasize and just try and be there for her.
"Hey, you guys." a voice piped up. They both looked up and saw Torrie standing there with Eddie Guerrero. The pair were quite good friends and it was rumoured between some that they secretly dated each other, but they both heavily denied it. Plus he had seen Torrie out with some other guys the past few weeks and Eddie had been seen with some of the Diva Search girls earlier that week. Torrie took a seat beside Cena, Eddie found a place next to Jackie. "Jackie, hey holmes!" he grinned, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "Hi," she answered glumly. His cheeky expression softened immensely, he placed his hand on top of hers, now resting gently on the table.
"I know what's it's like to go through times like these..." he winced as he remembered his drug addiction, "... I just want you to know, holmes, that I feel for you." He wrapped an arm around her neck. He smirked at John and Torrie, who were eyeing him curiously from across the table. They wanted to know what the heck he was up to here. "That's so sweet, Eddie.." Suddenly her voice cracked, changed, then she spat bitterly. "But there's two people who don't."
All of them looked up toward the restaurant door, where two people were entering. One woman, one man, their arms wrapped tightly around each other's waists. They had huge smiles on their faces as they walked through the restaurant. Charlie and Dawn. Dawn and Charlie. Something might have been possibly blossoming between them, more than just an affair. As they walked past the tables, tables where other WWE superstars sat, where fans sat and more, they got hissed at. Joy narrowed her eyes dangerously at Dawn as she passed, muttering "Skank," quietly under her breath. Dawn just shot her a spiteful look back.
As they walked past Jackie and John's table, Torrie glared furiously at Dawn, they had quite a history together - first she was stealing other people's fathers, now she was stealing other people's fianceé's. It was no secret that they hated each other and were quite possibly each other's worst enemies. "Talk about a slut of the century," Torrie smirked at Dawn, who stopped right beside her, Charlie's hand now entertwined with hers. "Look who's talking, Whorrie, do you honestly want me to list all the people you've dated since you got here? Because the list would start here and go out the door." She and Charlie cackled loudly, but were cut off in mid-laugh when Eddie shot up from his seat. By now the whole restaurant had fallen silent and everyone wondered what was going to happen between the wrestlers.
"Hey mamacita, I'd be quiet if I were you." he said through gritted teeth. But Dawn barrelled onward, "And look at the other, erm, woman we have over here... Miss Jackie Gayda, the woman who looks like a man, much less can keep one." Jackie breathed in all the air she could, then let it out all in one go. For a moment, no one said anything and all they could hear was silence.
"Shut up, Dawn."
That came from Jackie, she was breathing kind of heavily and her head was bowed. Dawn opened her mouth to speak once more, but Charlie gripped her tightly by the wrist and steered her gently away from the table without a word. It was then and only then that Jackie dropped her head completely, burying her face in her hands. Eddie immediately patted her gently on the shoulder, comforting her.
"Jackie, it's gonna be okay. Don't even let Dawn cross your mind, or Charlie for that matter, okay, holmes? He's obviously not the right guy for you. The right guy is somewhere out there, he's just waiting very patiently for you."
Eddie's eyes met John's.
