Author's Note: Hey guys sorry it's taken a little bit longer for me to update. Between school and being sick I've had like no time what so ever. Anyways, I really need you guys to review so I know how I'm doing! So enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 4

"Another," Shawn said, slamming the empty shot glass on the bar. He hadn't had a drink in a long time, he forgot how much he enjoyed it. Alcohol makes all the feeling of pain go away, in fact it made all feelings go away.

"Shawn, man—don't you think you've had enough?" Hunter said trying to urge him away from the bar. Shawn shrugged him off and downed another shot of tequila. This was no good, he couldn't remember the last time Shawn rally drank. He was a mess.

"Hunter come have a shot, they taste so good," Shawn slurred, patting the stool next to him.

"Nah man I'm fine," he said sitting down next to him. "Look Shawn I know that you're hurting man but you gotta chill with the booze—it ain't gonna fix anything."

"Mm hmm, I can't feel a thing, it's pretty good."

"This is going to change anything, you're still gonna wake up in the morning and Sarah won't be there and you'll be hung over as fuck."

Shawn stopped drinking for a moment, the look of pain reappeared on his face. He remembered why he was drinking in the first place, she had left him. Left him for Orton, Randy freakin' Orton. That still didn't make any sense to him. She was the one that chased him; she pursued him, well sorta…

FLASHBACK

"C'mon Shawn, I'm telling you, just ask her out. What's the big deal?" Hunter badgered him. This was his new ongoing thing to do. Shawn appreciated the fact that Hunter wanted him to move on with his life, but Hunter needed to understand that he was completely set on being single.

"Look Hunter, I'm not like you. I'm not at that place anymore. I don't want to date anymore, that ship has sailed."

"I know that the divorce from Rebecca was hard man, but you can't just give up. You really want to spend the rest of your life alone? She's totally into you and you know it. So just ask her out, give her—and yourself—a thrill," he smirked.

"You know I'm not that guy anymore. It's not like women are lining up to date an over the hill wrestler. Not to mention I'm completely content on not dating anymore."

"I'm worry Shawn, but that's bullshit. No one wants to be alone. So why not test the waters? I know this girl is into you. Treat yourself to a little fun, since the divorce you either work or hang out in your hotel room."

"Why would she be interested in me? I'm twenty years older than her. I have nothing to offer her?"

"Well clearly you have something she wants. Don't you ever notice the way she looks at you? She looks at you like you're a god or something. She gets all shy and giddy like a little school girl. Obviously she's feeling for you, just do on one date with her. What's the harm in that? One date, that's all I'm asking."

Shawn let out a heavy sigh. This had to be a bad idea. Hunter's idea were always a bad thing. He had to admit that he was enjoying the fact that he was still considered to be attractive in someone's eyes.

"Okay, one date, but that's it."

"Way to suck it up man, now go give her a thrill and ask her out. I got a good feeling about this."

END OF FLASHBACK

Yeah good idea Hunter, it really paid out for him didn't? Shawn knew better and yet he still went along with it. Hunter may have been trying to do right thing, but he still got bit in the ass in the end. Sarah was supposed to be a one time thing, a date just to shut up Hunter for awhile. He never thought he would fall for her, she was so quiet and naïve, not really his type at all. But he remembered when he first asked her out, there was just something there…ahh screw it, he needed more tequila.

FLASHBACK

Shawn walked down the hallways trying to collect himself. He hadn't asked a woman out in years. This was ridiculous, why did he agree to this? Because Hunter was going to be a pain until he did this. He found himself in front of door to the women's lockerroom. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door before he chickened out.

Maria popped her head out. "Oh hey Shawn, what's up?"

"Hey Maria, is um…is Sarah around?"

Maria's smile turned in a little smirk, "yeah she's here, hold on a second." She disappeared back into the lockerroom.

A minute later Sarah emerged from the lockerrom, freshly showered from her match. He hair was damp and thrown up in a messy bun, her makeup was gone, as well as the flashy, revealing ring gear that was replaced with torn jeans and a Red Sox t-shirt. He never really noticed her natural beauty before.

"Um…hi Shawn, Maria said you um…wanted to see me?" Sarah asked. Shawn finally noticed what Hunter was talking about. She was nervous, or at least appeared to be, She bit her bottom lip and fiddled with her hands.

Shawn smiled a little but, "Uh yeah. I was wondering if you wanted to grab something to eat with me?" When she didn't respond right away Shawn got nervous. Maybe Hunter was wrong about her feeling towards him. H felt like he was in high school all over again.

"You want to go out to eat with me?" she finally asked.

"Yeah, there's this really good diner not to far from here that Hunter and I go to every time we're in town."

"So Hunter would be coming to?"

"No no no," he said quickly, maybe a too little quickly. Damn it, he didn't want to sound to anxious. "Um…no Hunter isn't coming, just the two of us."

"So…like a date?" she asked, nearly turning bright red in the process.

"Uh, yeah a date."

"Yeah that's be great, just give me a few minutes to get my stuff together." Her face was lit up, she looked as if she was glowing, absolutely radiant. Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.

END OF FLASHBACK

Shawn shook his head in attempts to get the memory out of his head. He didn't want to think about her. All he wanted to think about was finishing off the tequila bottle that was in front him.

A/N: Ok there's the chapter, there's a little back ground for you to start with, there will be more the chapters to come. I was going to say what Sarah's secret was but it's too early for that so you're gonna hafta wait and see. R AND R!
