His problems with women

"So....when did it start?"

"When did what start?"

"You and Tara?"

"I don't know, probably on the day I found her in my bed after Zoe slipped me a roofie, or on the same night that I was general manager for the day."

"I remember that. You did pretty alright....for a guy."

"Geez, thanks."

"I'm just saying."

"Well, anyways it started out simple. I mean as simple as anyone can get in this life. She tried to partner up with me."

"And naturally you refused. Tried to play the lone wolf" Casey teased.

"Yes...I did."

"How did that work out?"

"Not that well. Especially when she found me pass out after fucking Ashly Massaro. As part of the Sexperts plans to separate me from everyone."

"Ouch!"

"Yeah, but they underestimated Tara. Instead of giving up on me she chain me up to a chair and tried to play Truth and Dare, in order to find more about me.She wins I go on a date with her. If I win I get to leave after a one night stand."

"How did that go?"

Jack just looks at Casey with a glare.

"Oh right."

Jack sighs, "Look, I don't know what happened soon after the date I spilled my whole life story to her, our family, Kim, Zoe, Japan...."

"You told her about Japan? You won't even tell us about Japan."

"Yeah for good reason. Then after that everything went downhill after I beat Simone at that retired wrestler banquet. I mean you remember how we were when The Champions?"

"Yeah, you guys did pretty great. Some say you could put Riot and Thunder or the Dixie Chicks a run for their money. You two might've been the greatest Mix tag Team in history. What a shame Baroness put a stop to it before you could get the belt."

"Yeah a real shame. Then came my fake **** and the Masked Priest...."

"And a performance of a lifetime by Tara when she slam you into the ring after you showed everyone you were a live."

"Yeah...." Jack chuckles, "She did a good job at that."

"But she knew you were alive the entire time didn't she?"

"I don't know." Jack scoffs, "After I took down Baroness and saved the Sexperts. She was there waiting for me at the airport. Probably didn't help that she knew my other alias that I used before because there was sitting next to me on the plane. Saying that even **** couldn't get me away from her. from there we join the thousand mile high club and for the next three months in Tibet we got to 'know' each other, inside and out."

"How come we didn't see her when we came and got you?"

"She already left. She had to go back to the states as her vacation days were up and Tanya was going to have her head if she didn't show up back to work soon. And after I took down Mary and her little cult when she was Hera. We agree that we should spilt up, with all the enemies we had from defending the helpless. It only made sense."

Jack thinks about it for a second and says, "Actually that was my idea to split up. Tara would only agree to do it if we just pretended to disband The Champions while we secretly see each other privately after work. She wouldn't have it other way."

"Well that would explain why you join Mama's resistance against Chantz without being pushed into it. Mama told me after you rescue me from her how you join in no questions ask. Always thought it was strange that someone like you would do that without getting something in return."

"They hurt her....Chantz and her crew."

"She was in the hospital for a few days, wasn't she?"

Jack nods his head, "She was almost broken, she almost went back to being Red Tara afterwards, saying how she had the smell of Chantz in her hair and that Chantz is her mistress and that she serve her. That was something I couldn't stand for. So I join mom's merry band of freedom fighters alongside Aunt Becky that I was helping out at the time to sort through her 'issues' and broke Chantz in half. To show Tara that she wasn't all that strong, as she thought she was."

"So you do care for her, huh?"

"I don't know! Maybe." Jack scoffs, "It just that with Jessie I always had to watch over her, making sure she didn't get hurt. I mean only had that one night stand with her such so I could get into the league that's it. Afterwards everyone was saying how much I was in love with her."

"Were you?"

"I don't know, not really? I mean not at first. It was tiring with how much I had to watch her back, making sure she didn't get hurt and how she cling onto me. But then later after she got some training and got better. I sort of...."

"Fell for her?"

"Yeah, that's it."

"What about Tara, then? What do you feel about her?"

"Tara..." Jack scoffs, "Tara, she's a different story. With Tara I know she can take care of herself and that she is just as smart and crafty as me and when I do something she trusts me that I know what I'm doing. Instead of getting a big argument out of it, she just goes along with it. I mean with Jessie I feel scared and uncertain that some heel is going to take her and turn her into a monster again, or that she does something that pisses me off and she does it because she knows it pisses me off." Jack then starts to daydream, "But Tara I feel this strange feeling in me every time I see her. Some sort of bliss that makes me feel comfortable and relax. That just being with her, I know everything is going to be alright and I can put my guard down for once. Sometime I even have this strange look on my face I can't seem to shake off."

"Oh my god!" Casey laughs.

"What?" Jack snaps out of his daydream, "What is it?

"You don't know what that it?"

"No, I don't know." Jack says un-amuzed, "Please fill me in."

"That called being happy. You tell me you never been happy, before?"

Jack just look at his sister with a cold look.

Casey stops and looks stun, "Wow! Really?"

"Weren't you around when I was growing up?"

"Yeah..." Casey coughs a little bit, "Remind me to treat you to something nice for all the crap I pulled when we were kids...damn."

"Look, I don't know what that feeling is and I don't care. I don't like it"

"Why?"

"Because it makes me defenseless. I take my guard down then Simone, Tanya, or whoever will surely use that time when I'm at my weakest against me I will be a sitting duck. At least with Jessie I will always be on my guard."

"But you won't be happy..." Casey says calmly.

"But I'll be safe..." Jack replies calmly as well.

"But you won't be happy..." Casey raise her voice.

"But I'll be safe..." Jack raises his voice.

"But you won't be happy....!" Casey yells.

"But I'll be safe....!" Jack yells.

"Uhh...look, do whatever you want." Casey says in defeat, "Be miserable, or be happy. See if I care, I know I'll be hearing it from Mama soon enough."

Casey starts to get up before Jack stops, "Wait."

"What?"

"How did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Choose. Choose between Rochelle and that boyfriend of yours that you dated way back. How did you know which one you wanted to be with."

Casey sighs as she sits down, "You really want to know..."

"I do."

"No joke? Because I'll leave right now, if you don't want to hear it."

Jack takes her hand and says, "Please....sis I need your help. How did you choose?"

Casey exhales through her nose and says, "Okay, this is what I did..."
