Welcome to Gaia! ::

David walked around the back in his usual attire, the hood of his hoodie up and his head looking down to his feet. his head was filled with thoughts of Stacey and her well being

"Oh well they arn't very important. They are just rumors... but I've heard that someone has the hots for you, which I'm sure you already know. He's only worn them on his sleeve for months. But more importantly, someone told me they've been seeing you frisking it up with Vulture in the sauna." Edge said as he slipped his hand into his coat and held onto something, setting down the magazine, and sat up to face her. "Like I said just rumors. But its not like they dont sound like you."

"Stacey. I can understand you when you said you dont want to fight a war. I can understand you when you raise up the 'white flag.' And I can understand we needed to take a little time from each other, but you just suddenly go off and 'Open Trades' with other guys?" Edge growled to himself. "Stacey, did it ever occure to you that we might have been able to salvage what was left? Well whether or not it did doesnt matter. You've made your last mistake with me." Edge pulled out a small black box and opened it, setting it on the table. It was pointed at her, and was diamond ring. "This was for you. I got it for you shortly before I was hospitalized. I never got to give it to you. And theres no sense in not giving it to you now. Just, please Stacey, stay away from me. For your own good." Edge picked up his briefcase, and stormed out, leaving the ring there with her.

As Edge left she stared at the ring and muttered. "I did stay away...you found me." She looked up and saw the tail of his coat leave through the door. Almost n shock she wlaked over to the couch and sat down. Her eyes stared at the ring and hesitantly she picked it up. "Funny...this doesnt even break my heart." Stacey closed the ring box and set it back on the table. Leaning back in the couch she stared at it.

Stacey picked up the magazine that had been discarded. Unfortunetely Stacey dropped it and it fell open on the floor. Stacey reached down to pick it up when her eyes caught sight of the article.

Edge and Stacey- Three Strikes...She's Out?

Stacey stared down at the image of her and Edge and then she looked at the ringbox sitting on the table in front of her. Had Edge really implied that there might ahve been hope? "Oh..." Was once again all she could say. Suddenly her hand felt wet and she looked down to see another tear drop onto it.

Edge continued down the hall, thinking over what he just did. . .

And not once did he look back.

Not once did he second guess himself.

He knew that some how, some way, someone was going to find him out to be the bad guy in all this, but he knew better, and Stacey knew better. He sighed to himself and continued on. This had been Stacey's problem. And it was going to continue to be her problem.

Staceygot up. There really was no point in lounging around staring at a symbol of her past. Whatever chance there had been before was now certainly gone so she might as well try her best to move on.

Perhpas her heart did break because it had been torn to shreads before. The pain in her entire body however suggested that there was noneed to have a mended heart in order to feel how much of a mistake she hadmade.

There wasnt a point in dwelling on it either. Everything was said and done and now Stacey had to concentrate on getting a certain someone to trust her again since very few others would.

Stacey had found a new place to sit and think. It was on a bench near the entrance to the ring. In her hand was the diamond ring out of the box. Well actually it was on her finger and she was staring at it. Finally it became unbearable to look at and Staceyt ook of the ring and shoved it into her purse.
