Last chapter!

See You Again

Eve had a good feeling about the next couple of months.

"I told you I'd make this belt look good." Eve smiled, as she approached Matt Hardy backstage, with the Divas title slung over her shoulder.

"I've gotta say, I'm impressed, Torres." Matt nodded his approval, giving Eve a high five.

"I still can't really believe it." Eve looked down at the belt in disbelief, reliving every minute of pinning Maryse after a picture perfect moonsault.

"And you're United States champion." Eve pointed to Matt's belt. "We're belt buddies."

Six months had passed since the 'Phil-Incident', it had so gently been named, and it seemed almost everything had come together for Eve.

Months of hard rehabilitation had paid off, as Eve had become the WWE Divas champion, defeating Maryse for the belt she so badly coveted. Not only that, but it seemed most of her relationships – Kelly, Maria and Matt - had been salvaged.

"And where is the hottest Divas Champion on the face of the earth?" Eve turned around and saw Randy coming down the hallway towards her, closely followed by a grinning Kelly.

"Is Maryse stood behind me?" Eve said sarcastically, before giving Randy a kiss.

"Very funny." Kelly smiled, before pulling off her – unexpected – boyfriend, Matt Hardy. Turns out Kelly had a thing for Matt for quite some time...

"I'm so proud of you." Randy kissed the top of Eve's head affectionately. "You did real well."

"Thanks." Eve rested her head on Randy's shoulder; however there was something far away about the smile on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"I just got this call from the police station..."

Eve hadn't wanted to come back to this Chicago police station after all that had happened, however when she got a call saying that Phil saying he was ready to talk to her; she had to confront her fears.

"Are you okay?" Randy said, holding Eve's hand as they walked inside together.

"Nervous." Eve laughed slightly. "Really nervous."

"Do you need me to come in with you?" Randy asked.

"No, it's fine." Eve gave Randy a kiss. "You just wait here." She pointed to the waiting area, before approaching the reception desk. "I'm Eve Torres, I'm here to..."

"Welcome back, Eve." Detective Lisa Greene, who worked on Phil's case, approached Eve, and shook her hand politely. "It's great that you could come."

"I couldn't not." Eve shrugged.

"He really wanted to see you." Lisa said gently. "He needed to see you. He insisted upon it."

"Okay. How is he?"

"Getting better?" Lisa winced, as if she weren't sure what to say. "I think it would be best if you saw for yourself."

Sitting in front of Phil, Eve found it difficult to believe she was looking at the same person. The grey clothing did him no favours, but that wasn't the problem. He looked tired, as if prison had deprived him of sleep. His eyes had sunk back into his head, and his hair was unwashed and scrappy looking.

"Thanks for coming." Phil's voice was soft, as if he didn't want to scare her.

"That's okay." Eve replied, looking across the table at him. "I'm glad you called."

"So, how are you? How's life?"

"I'm good, and life's... good." Eve smiled. "I'm Divas champion now."

"Congratulations." Phil did sound genuinely happy for her. "And you're still with Randy?"

"Yes." Eve's voice dropped.

"When's the wedding?" Phil asked out of the blue.

"What?" Eve gripped the edge of the table.

"Eve, you have a huge diamond ring on your wedding finger. I'm not an idiot."

Realising she'd forgotten to take off her engagement ring, Eve instantly cursed herself.

"So when's the wedding?"

"In four months." Eve played with the ring on her finger, adjusting it slightly.

"You're happy with him?"

Eve nodded.

"That's all that matters." Phil shrugged. "All the time I was with you, I never wanted you to be unhappy."

"So how're you?" Eve realised that might not have been the wisest question to ask.

"I've lost most of my friends, I've lost you, and I even lost Maria. The only good news is that I've already served six months of my sentence." Phil tried to sound positive. "I've got another six, before I'm being transferred to a secure unit."

"Time's passed quickly."

"Tell me about it." Phil laughed slightly. "I'm already thinking about life outside of this place?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, the WWE definitely isn't letting me back in, so I'm keeping my options open."

"I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's not your fault." Phil reached out and touched her hand, to which she subconsciously flinched from. "Sorry, too soon."

"A little." Eve winced.

"I'm the one that should be sorry." Phil raised his eyebrows. "I did some shady stuff. Some stuff no-one should be put through."

"But it's not your fault, it's the I.V.D." Eve said.

Phil stood up, to which the officer in the corner of the room made a break for him, however Phil shrugged him off. "It's okay; I'm not going to do anything."

Phil got down on his knees in front of Eve, and looked her right in the eyes.

"Listen, I'm really glad you came today, but the main reason I wanted to talk to you was to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Eve furrowed her brow.

"If I'm gonna get over this I.V.D, I can't see you anymore." Phil explained.

"But... I can help you." Eve tried to say, but she didn't know how.

"The only way you can help is by leaving me alone to deal with this myself. I can't see you anymore."

An awkward silence filled the room, as Phil got up, and sat back down in his chair and put his head in his hands.

"Do you want me to go?" Eve eventually asked.

"I think that would be for the best." The officer stepped forward.

"Okay." Eve stood up, and walked towards the door, before turning back to look at Phil. "I'll always love you, Phil. No matter what, all I've ever wanted is the best. For you, and for me."

The late afternoon sun was shining down, as Eve walked out towards the parking lot, hand in hand with Randy.

"Are you okay?" Randy linked both of his hands into Eve's, stopping outside his car.

Eve nodded, but didn't say anything.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Randy asked.

Eve shook her head. "Not yet. Maybe later."

"Okay." Randy nodded slowly. "What do you want to do now?"

"Shall we go for a walk?" Eve suggested. "Some fresh air wouldn't go amiss right now."

"Okay." Randy smiled, as they walked out of the parking lot together. "I'm always here for you, Eve. You know that, right?"

"Isn't that what the engagement ring's for?" Eve grinned.

"No, I just got that in a Christmas cracker." Randy laughed, pulling Eve in under his arm. "Just kidding."

"You know what? I honestly wouldn't care if it was."

Eve snuggled into his chest, and as they walked the long street together, Eve let the warm sun from the sky beat down onto her face, allowing her to bring out a smile that was once so rare, and is now so regular.
