I'm tired so let's get right to it.
"I don't see how my presence would make you feel safe at all. After all I still hate your guts for what you did back then."
"Understandable. I realize now that my actions have cost me a big part of my life, my friends." Kelly was enforcing guilt into Evan's soul. Even more guilt than when he found out how his departure affected Tiffany. "I'm surprised that you still care enough to ask how I'm doing though."
"Well, I'm not totally unforgiving Evs,"
"Just stubborn."
"Shut it." Kelly snapped back at Evan. "I'm willing to forgive you, but not for the reason you might be thinking."
"Yeah I didn't think that Randy would be able to convince you to forgive this piece of trash known as Evan Bourne."
"Trust me Evan Randy is a bigger douche than you. Normally if Randy was still my friend he probably would've been able to convince me to. But I'm forgiving you for a more important reason."
"May I ask what that is?"
"It's because of my sister." Evan had a sense of realization. His memory was still a blur but he still remembered the stabbing at the office. The horrified look on Tiffany and Randy's faces before he collapsed and died only to reawaken. Instantly he felt a pain somewhere near his heart. He overheard the conversation between her and Randy and it wasn't a good one. The brothers had no idea them leaving would cause this much pain nor did they realize they would be gone for 10 years.
"I don't think...Tiffany has forgiven me so you really have no reason to do so."
"Don't give me that crap Evan. Don't go into Emo Bourne and inject yourself with some suspicious drug like the old highschool days. Tiffany already forgave you from the start. She was acting weirdly at home and with Kaitlyn's mouth it didn't take me long to find out which douchebags came back home."
"I don't see how that says anything about Tiffany forgiving me."
"She's always had a soft side for you Evan. She would never be able to stay mad at you or Randy. Her and I are very different for sisters."
"She's more friendly thats for sure."
"Haven't lost your sense of humor I see." She gave out a light chuckle. The first genuine one that Evan had heard in his 10 year absence. It was a nice reminder of the past to him. But that was all gone. There was no way of going back.
"But as I was saying Evan, Tiffany has always been more kind hearted than me thats why she accepted you guys back into her life so quickly. She's just trying to act stubborn and push it away as an act for me since I still hate Randy."
"You don't mean that."
"She's my sister Evan how could I no-"
"No I meant the line about Randy. You don't hate him kells, there's no way. You and Randy were best friends."
"Were Evan, now that's all gone. He threw away our friendship a long long time ago Evan."
"Will you ever forgive him?" Kelly stood there in silence. This she was not prepared for. She surely despised Randy for his selfish deed back then, and surely hated him. But like she said, she was a forgiving person. Could she really stay mad at him forever? She did have to admit to herself she was kinda happy Randy was back in town. All these questions and a sense of doubt started to form in her heart.
"Honestly Evan, I don't know. But this isnt the time to talk about that. I have a more serious matter at hand."
"By all means please explain it to me."
"Look when, you...died, Tiffany was horrified. She immediately bursts into tears when she saw you lying there dead. She was heartbroken that she caused your death."
"She didn't do anything."
"Yeah you know and I know she had no part in it she didn't send Swagger in to try to kill her. But, she feels guilty that she wasn't able to say she forgave you and all the other things she wanted to talk to you about, don't you see? Tiffany has never hated you one moment of her life. Never. All these years she's been trying to hide all the pain she felt when you left. It took a serious toll on her, on all of us. I admit too I was a complete mess when that happened so I blame part of her pain on me since I just shut down. But despite all the pain you caused her, I know that my sister never ever had a chance of hating you."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Evan, listen to me please." Kelly's tone became less harsh and more soft and friendly. Like it used to be when she confided to Evan about something serious.
"Tiffany has almost been a hollow being all these years. She tries to be happy with us, with me and Kaitlyn, but she isn't perfectly happy. I will tell you this in confidence that you won't reveal it and that you will do something about it."
"What is it?"
"Tiffany...I'm pretty sure that...she...loves you...more than a friend." Evan's face was painted with shock. Love? Tiffany loves me? He couldn't believe it. All those years, they were just best friends. He had no idea Tiffany had an unrequited love for him. Hell if he had noticed maybe something could've been done about it. He didn't know how he would've responded back then but he was even more confused now.
"I..." He was speechless, he didn't know how to respond. Now he finally noticed some hints. Only she cared as much as to get him counceling for his drug problem, only she payed enough attention to him to notice even his favorite things and activities to do, only she cared enough to tell Randy to stop when he was about to punt him. Everything was tying together slowly, bit by bit. He couldn't believe this.
"What are you going to do about this Evan? Do you love her back?" This statement caught him off guard even more. Did he really love Tiffany that way? Evan wasn't sure right now. He was still trying to process the fact that she loved him that way. How could he know if he felt mutual feelings? In honesty he felt more like an older protective brother to Tiffany. If anyone were to hurt Tiffany he would kick their ass. If anyone were to break her heart the same punishment; if Tiffany felt a deep pain he would hurt just watching her go through it. Was that what all those cliche Hollywood movies called love?
"Kelly, I...why didn;t you tell me this sooner?"
"Well you kinda died before I got to meet you so this is the first time I've gotten a chance to speak to you. But I need to know right now Evan, do you love her? Because if you don't you can't lead her on."Tiffany's face suddenly came to mind and he felt a pain in his heart as he imagined tears flowing from her eyes. His heart rate sped up a tad bit on the monitor.
"Whoa Evan are you alright?"
"Yeah fine, just my heart making a decision. I do love her. Not in a brotherly way either."
"Really?" A familiar face came from the doorway as Kaitlyn, John and Miz popped in uninvited. Kelly and Evan turned to face them with not so pleased looks on their faces.
"Kaitlyn Blank i thought I had raised you better than to eavesdrop."
"Well you did but the urge was too tempting. Teehee."
"She made us do it." Both Miz and John said at the same time. They already knew Kelly having seen her a few times on tour with Cody.
"Tattletales."
"Wow two grown men scared of a child, quality talent in the WWE's future." Evan joked from his bed.
"Be quiet lover boy. So about that confession, you seriously love her don;t you?"
"Yeah i do Miz."
"Well great because we have a plan."
"Kaitlyn Blank is this what you do instead of studying?"
"Yeah pretty much." Kaitlyn gave a nervous laugh and the guys started to laugh. "Alright we have a plan to get you and sis together Ev."
"Really now?"
"Yup, you want in Kelly?"
"Why do I need to be included?"
"Because it's like so important that you are. You want Tiffany to be happy right? Of course I am right."
"Ugh fine if its for Tiffany."
"Great I knew you would see it my way. Okay here's the deal."
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Whispered Kelly to Evan.
"Because its your sister we're talking about, the insane one."
"Good point."
