Author's Notes- Wow, of all the fics for me to update, I've picked the one I've seemed to have the most trouble writing. Funny, huh? Oh well, here's the new chapter for this fic, I hope you all enjoy it and I plan on getting another one out there soon. I think for the moment I might be recuperating from a sever case of writer's block so if you like any of my other fics, expect updates of them soon.

Ok, I'd like to take a moment to thank Citcat, huntersgirl, LilStephy27, Exist2Inspire, Latisha C., and Ashley S for taking their time to review the last chapter. Sorry it took me so long to get this one out there. Hope you all like what's to come.

And for everyone else out there, please review. Also, should fanfiction.net go down, or if you just want to read some more fics by me and my friends, go to . It's my fan fiction site and will generally get my fics before ff.net does. I'm also taking new authors so if you'd like to let me host your fics on my site, that's great. Check it out and tell me what you think.

She Couldn't Possibly Ignore

"So come on girl dish," Trish said giddily, "how was your date with Chris?"

"Yeah, we want details girl!" Amy laughed.

"Well," Stephanie started with a smile, "he showed up right on time and took me out to this really nice restaurant in the city. There was a little bit of dancing, and a lot of talking. He was the perfect gentleman and didn't even try to kiss me when he dropped me off at my door. He just kissed my hand and said he'd talk to me today about going out again. It would have been the prefect night if Paul hadn't..."

"Paul?" Amy looked at Stephanie confused; she hadn't mentioned anything about Paul over the phone last night. "What does he have to do with your night with Chris?"

"He showed up to my room right before Chris did. He had these pathetic looking carnations and tried to say he was sorry and he wanted me to come back to him. He even used one of Shawn's old pick up lines about 'it's never too late for love.' He was a little shocked when Chris showed up too. I just couldn't believe he thought all he had to do was give me some flowers, say a bad pick up line and I'd be jelly in his hands." Stephanie rolled her eyes at the thought of Paul.

"What a jackass." Trish said shaking her head.

"He still doesn't even understand why we broke up." Stephanie sighed as she turned the monitor on her desk on showing her what was happening in the ring during this house show. Paul's music hit as she frowned turning back to her friends.

"So," Trish started with a girlish smile, "do you like Chris?" Stephanie just laughed as Amy rolled her eyes.

"Hmm Trish, maybe we should pass him a note in math class and ask him if he likes her or likes-likes her too." Amy laughed at her friend as she reached for her purse.

"As a matter of fact, I already did that." Trish pulled a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Stephanie who was in shock.

"Trish, I was joking, we don't even have a math class to pass a note in." Amy stared at Trish not quite knowing what to think; perhaps the Canadians were only the ones that were this weird.

"I'll have you know," Trish said crossing her arms in front of her indignantly, "that I passed him that note during Vince's meeting earlier today."

"As if I should have expected any less." Amy laughed while looking to Stephanie. "So, what does it say?"

"Well, it says, 'Chris, do you like Stephanie? Check yes or no.'" Stephanie shook her head as she looked at the paper.

"You have got to be kidding me." Amy took the small pink page from her and her jaw dropped as she read. "You actually wrote this?!"

"Yes, I couldn't think of a better way of wording it," Trish giggled, "besides, there's more."

"Oh right, after he checked yes you wrote, 'Do you like her or like-like her? Check appropriate box.'" Amy laughed as Stephanie buried her hands in her face shaking her head.

"Once again, you find a better way at wording those kinds of things!"

"Never leave the dirty work to a blond." Amy laughed. "But hey Steph, he checked that he like-likes you."

"I saw that," Stephanie mumbled from inside her hands.

"So, do you like-like him?" Amy asked laughing at how juvenile she thought she sounded.

"You know," she said raising her head, "I think I do."

"That's great!" Trish squealed. "Only one problem."

"What's that," Amy asked looking confused.

"Paul wants Steph in the ring right now." Trish pointed to the monitor where Paul was standing loudly asking for Stephanie to join him. Trish and Amy exchanged confused looks as Stephanie just rolled her eyes and left her office going towards the ring.

"We really need to sort this whole thing out, and I need to talk to you so please Stephanie, come out here and..." Paul was cut off by Stephanie's music as she slowly walked down the makeshift ramp for the night.

"What do you want Paul?" Stephanie asked as the crowed roared in delight at the thought of a confrontation between these two.

"To talk," Paul smiled sweetly as she glared at him.

"Then we can do that backstage, there's no reason to do this out here in front of everyone else." Stephanie was starting to get annoyed.

"But I had to do this out here, I had to tell you that," Paul took a deep breath and continued, "I love you. I do, I really mean it, I love you Steph. I need you and these last few days have been hell without you."

"Paul, really let's discuss this backstage." Stephanie reached out and pulled on his arm to get him out of the ring but Paul grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"No, Stephanie, I want to tell you now, tell the world, that I love you. I need you. Please come back to me." Paul got on his knees and looked up at her with sad eyes as the crowd just went "Awwww."

"Why did I leave you Paul?" Stephanie asked him as he looked at her confused, if he was going to try and trap her in front of all these people she could do the same to him. "If you expect me to believe you then why did I leave you in the first place?"

"Because you don't think I care about you as much as you care for me, because I don't show you enough," Paul said standing up as Stephanie pulled her hand from his.

"You don't get it!" Stephanie yelled. "That's part of it but a very small part. You need to see the big picture of why I left you or all of this means nothing to me."

"But Stephanie," Paul yelled running after her as she got out of the ring.

"Save it, take some time and think Paul," She started, "then talk to me." And with that Stephanie walked out of the ring and left Paul standing in the midst of a very confused crowd. His plan had obviously backfired.
