Raw's 15th Anniversary

He had seen her name on the list, She was scheduled for tonight. When he had read her name he couldn't help himself, but smile. He knew she loved it out there, but she was a head writer now and it wasn't important to her to write herself into the show. He hadn't seen her since the night he left the business. She had to know he was back, she just had to. Vince wouldn't not tell her, or wouldn't he. She was the head writer ,but sometimes the kept things from the writers, but she always knew everything and everyone. He shook his head for even thinking that Vince would do that.

He walked down the hallways and traced his hand on the white walls. He knew almost every arena by the back of his hand. He had left this business for reason no one knows. He never said why he just simply announced his two weeks and for those last two weeks he kept to himself and barley said words to anyone. He thought he was done, he was going to pursue his music career and see what else was out there, even thought he knew deep down there was nothing more to be found. He didn't come back for the fans, the fame or the money he came back for one reason, one reason being her. He barley kept in touch with her because that's what he thought she wanted.

He jumped as he felt two small hands and legs wrap around his back. He balanced himself as he heard a laugh that could always cheer him up. He grabbed behind me and took hold of the blonde and brought her in front of him.

"Hello baby" She whispered.

He Laughed as he called "baby".

"Hello Sweet's". He saw her smile.

"What? You think I'd forget our nicknames for each other". He quietly said as if it no one knew about them.

Trish embraced him into a hug. " I've missed you, it feels like forever".

"Well its no my fault sweets, Your the one who went away on your getaway vacation and left our friendship at baggage claim" He as he grabbed her waist and gently pulled her away from him.

She punched him lightly. " You know that I had to go, and I think your the one who told me I had to go". She watched him shake his head. He was the one who had told her to take a vacation and live outside the ropes. His train of thought was interrupted as he heard her talking about tonight.

"..But yeah Amy called and said she was coming back for the 15th anniversary and she said that you where coming and I couldn't not give up on seeing my best friend". Trish saw that he was in another place , but just kept going knowing he would snap back into the conversation, Before he could respond the two where interrupted.

" Well if it isn't the dynamic Due reunited Chris Jericho and Trish Stratus" They both turned their head innocently and laughed as they saw Shane McMahon.

Shane suddenly wished he had just walked by as he saw the looks upon their faces. " Don't tell me, Don't tell me anything n I don't want to know and don't want to take in any part of your shenanigans god help us. I think for the first time in my life I'm scared of what you to can do together".

Their laughs echoed off the quite walls as Shane hugged Trish and gave Chris a handshake. He saw the look in his eyes and it was the same look he had seen in his eyes the day he quit, the day he left.

" guy's it was really nice to see you, but there is so much to do for tonight I've got so much to go over and I have to go meet up with Steph and go over everything that's going on tonight. I'll catch you two after the show though." Shane shook his head as he saw how Chris was attempting not to smirk at the sound of her name.

"Bye Shane" Chris and Trish said in unison. Trish heard Chris let out a deep sigh, knowing she was going to have to be the one to say something first.

"So you hear that Baby" She said as she watched his head hang low staring down at their feet. She watched as he looked up. His icy blues where far from empty, but for once Trish couldn't see past them and it made her heart sink.

"What's that Sweet's".

"Stephanie McMahon is in the building". Trish hesitated a little, but she covered it up fast by letting our a quiet laugh, knowing if he heard the hesitation it in his voice he wouldn't be himself. The truth was he hadn't been himself in what seemed like forever. She had to be strong for him because no one else knew. Trish was the only one who knew that Stephanie was why he left. He shook his head as he saw Trish's lips start to curl up into a devious smile.

Chris closed his eyes and took a deep breathe." Sweet's no"

"What I didn't even say anything" Trish said raising her eyebrows

Chris rolled his eyes." I know, but I know what your thinking"

"I hate how much you know me sometimes ".

Trish turned quite as they started to walk down the hall ,both knowing they wanted to go to catering.

" So baby, what the hell happened to your locks" She said running her hand through what was left of his blonde hair. He simply shook his head as the entered catering and then there she was more beautiful then he had left her. he felt his heard drop and his stomach turn.

" Sweet's I forgot my cell phone I'll see you in a bit" he said so fast Trish could barley understand him and had no time to question him as she watched him run back to his locker room.

She turned her head , but sighed as she only saw Trish. She thought she had felt him in the room. She knew she needed and wanted to talk to him.

Trish saw Stephanie head whipped back and look to see if Chris was there .Trish waved as Stephanie smiled. Trish knew Chris and Stephanie's past and Trish loved Stephanie , but after what she had done to Chris she had lost a little respect for her. She walked over to her and hugged her. She knew she could smell Chris's on her and knew it was going to make her weak in the knees. Stephanie also knew Chris and Trish's past and how they are best friends and never seem to be apart. Trish had kept in touch with Stephanie , but she never told Chris.

Both pulled out chairs to an empty table and say down. Trish watched as Stephanie took the cap off her water bottle.

" So Steph how have you bee".

" How is he?"

Trish was taken back on how fast Stephanie brought up Chris.

Trish licked her lips and let out a sigh as she was trying to think of the right way to word things but the truth was she didn't have a response to her . " Steph honestly I don't know. The last time I talked to him was when he dropped me off at the airport before I headed to Italy". She saw the look of shock on her face and couldn't help , but turn into a smile.

" I know, I know, no one believes us. Not a single person believes that we could last this long apart". They looked at each other and couldn't stop laughing. Everyone turned their head to see who was laughing , but then shook their heads knowing the two women would probably be laughing for a few hours.

Stephanie looked down at her watch "Trish I've got to go get ready I 'm actually in the show tonight. I'll catch up with you after the show, I've missed you". She slid her chair out as she saw Trish stand up. Stephanie arched her eyebrows a little, but then smiled as Trish hugged her for good luck. As she hugged Stephanie she whispered something that would hit Stephanie hard and change everything.

" He misses you.'


She turned the corner glancing down at tonight's script going over the little details trying to shake off what Trish had told her. She felt her heart drop. There he was , he sat there on the equipment crate leading against the wall. She couldn't help, but stare. He looked good, to good. She cursed as she noticed his long locks where gone. The same ones she used to twirl around her finger lying on his bare chest listening to him breathe. She knew she had to talk to him sooner or later it had been, 'no' she thought to herself it couldn't have been a year. She looked down to the floor as if it had the answers. It had been almost a year since they had last talked. he hadn't called or wrote, nothing and that's what hurt her the most. She gulped in her last breathe as she saw him starts to stir and open his eyes.

"Stephanie We're on in five" Shane Shouted down the hallway. She shot him a look back down that same narrow hallway and saw him question her look, but if he knew who was around the corner he would understand.

He smirked as he heard her name, but then remembered he had just heard her name meaning she was close. He look to his left and to his right and in that instant he fell for her all over gain, but he had never stopped. He watched her turn and walk way not even looking at him. Had She been watching me? Chris asked himself. And before he could do anything he did something that neither of the two would assume he would. He called out her name. The cold and emptiness of his voice bounced off the white walls and almost made her stop dead in her track, but she heard his footsteps getting closer and picked up her pace and headed to the gorilla. She told herself that she couldn't see him , not now.

He ran a hand through his hair as he heard her music start to play. And he kept telling himself that's why she didn't stop and turn around to him after he called out her name. He eases up as he felt her small hands on his back again as the made their way to his waist as she rested her head on his back.

"Baby, you never came back and I was all alone, ok I cant lie I wasn't ".

He felt her laugh into his back but, he just stood there and didn't move he just breathed deeply.

"Sorry Sweet's I was on my way back, but saw that unoccupied spot over there and couldn't help myself and rest me eyes."

She felt the loneliness coming off of him. She pulled away and stood next to him and placed her hand in his. He looked over and gave her the only smile he could. They walked hand in hand to his locker room. Trish turned on the TV and then lied down on the leather coach placing her head on Chris's lap. They sat their in silence until they both witnessed something that everyone saw. There in the middle of the ring was Stephanie kissing Hunter. But it wasn't just a kiss, it was a kiss she wrote in.


He Stood up so fast Trish almost went flying across the room. He punched the wall not even wincing at the pain. He had just witnessed a kiss between one of the people he loves and one who he hates with a passion. Not only did she write the kiss in, but she looked up at the camera as soon as she put her lips to his as if she knew he was watching and debating if she should have went through with it. He hated her smile afterwards, he hated that she used to smile the same exact way after they kissed. Trish had seen Chris like this before , but this was far worse. She stood against the wall watching him destroy the locker room. She closed her eyes, this was all to much for her and the only person who knew why was doing it. She licked her lips and slid down the wall until she met the floor. She felt the cold wall on the small of her back as her head rested against it.

"How fucking dare she, who the does she think she is, I mean Hunter of all fucking people. After everything they went through , what we went though, this is just so fucked up and". He stopped as he heard a whimper escape his best friends lips. He looked at her curled up into herself against the wall and took in the turmoil he had just made. He walked over to her and knelt down in front of her and saw her tense up as she felt his breathe on her skin. He closed his eyes and shook his head. He let out a deep sigh letting her know he was coming down to sit next to her on the floor. He went to put his arm around her, but he quickly pulled it back.

"Sweet's, I'm sorry I , it's just that and , god listen to me talk. Sweets look at me". He ran his hand over the back of neck as he saw no response from her. He watched as she tried to hold in tears and whimpers. Her back moving ever so slightly. He took a hold of her gently and brought her to him. Her face now laying on his chest.

"Trish, I'm sorry I really am, and I'm more sorry for breaking the promise I told you I'd keep" He whispers running his hands though her hair. She looked up slightly taken back by him calling her Trish, but even more by the look of tears in his eyes. She knew those where probably for Stephanie, but she knew it was a sign of something.

"Can we just sit here like this" She asked so quietly he could barley hear her, but knew what she had said. He hated himself the look he saw in her eyes broke his heart even more. He nodded his head as she laid back down to and rested herself against his chest. They sat there in silence as he still couldn't get the sight of Hunter and Stephanie out of his head. He cursed under his breathe and tensed up. If Trish hadn't been in the room he probably would have ran and confronted her at the gorilla. The confrontation he would have like to have is going to happen sooner then he thought.
