Torn In Limbo

Wounded

Dante Martin's POV

After that call with Weslyn, he felt as if his heart has been stomped on. Her words echoing in his head

'I only became friends with you just so that I could get close to Tyler'

'I never cared for you'

Echoing repeatedly while he sat there, feeling mopey. He felt a tear run down from his eye while he was in his hotel room alone.

Soon he heard a knock at the door as Dante wiped away his tears and got up from the chair "Coming..." He called out, walking over to the door and opens it.

Darius stood "Hey bro. I was wondering if you would want to come to a bar and grill because Brian invited us to have a guys night out. So I know for a fact that you haven't ate yet" (referring to Brian Pillman Jr)

Dante sighs softly as he was feeling down plus wasn't sure if he wanted to go out.

"I don't know bro........."

"The bar and grill isn't that far. It's just across the street."

Dante was all distraught and hurt while his mind was on Weslyn as Darius took a careful look.

"Hey? Are you alright?....."

Dante looks over at Darius with a frown "Not exactly.....No....."

Darius wasn't the one who like seeing his brother in a funk, it's rare that his young brother gets into a gloomy mood as he gently pats his shoulder "Come to the bar and grill with me and Brian......We could talk about it there...Okay?" He said comforting his brother.

In response, Dante nodded then went grabbing his phone and goes to head out with his brother Darius and goes to meet up with Brian then made their way out the hotel and over to the bar and grill.

At the bar and grill.

The 3 men were all seated at a private booth where nobody can bother them, except for the waitress. They already had their orders on the table and some beers while Darius and Brian glanced over.

"So bro. What happened tonight that got you feeling so down? Darius asked.

Dante took a sip of his beer then sets it down "Ohh boy........Where to begin.......Well originally I planned to head out to eat with Weslyn-"

"Wait....Weslyn Garcia? The backstage interviewer?" Brian chimed in asking.

Dante nodded as Brian lightly inhales and looking at him impressively "She's one hell of a looker. I'll give you this, you sure know how to pick 'em" he raised his glass a bit then took a sip.

"Yeah. Anyway....I originally planned on eating out with Weslyn and instead of bumping into her, Skye bumped into me....."

Brian was tuned into the story so far "Your ex girlfriend? Ah man....That's gotta be awkward for you......"

Dante picked up his fork and began playing with his food "No, not really.......I mean it's nice seeing Skye and all, we're just good friends now. So we chatted for few and when I was done talking to her, I searched around for Weslyn but that's when I realized she left. So later, which is not long ago. I reached to her on the phone and.......She said that hanging out with me isn't good for her and that she's a bad example for me........Weslyn decided to want to go be with Tyler again....."

"Tyler??" Darius and Brian said simultaneously with shock.

This confuses Darius as he asked "Wait a minute......What do you mean again?...."

"Since last year, Weslyn and Tyler have been 'hooking up' which I guess that's how she see's it as.........I didn't find out until one night I caught her kissing him.......So fast forwarding around the 18th of January, she decided to stop seeing him because the guy charged at me.....Darius got to witness that"

Darius turned to Brian "Yeahh...I did actually....Tyler was all over him.....He was pissed because he lost at the tug of war game...."

"Maaan that is crazy........" Brian comments

Dante sighs picking up his drink "And get this........She only became friends with me is to get close to Tyler.........I think that's the main reason why she joined AEW in the first place......." Then took a chug of his beer.

Brian shook his head while hearing all this was intense. "That has got to be one of the biggest low blow that I ever heard........Crazy shit.......Sorry about that, dude....."

Darius lightly stroked his hair "That's messed up...........But I have a feeling......That deep down.......She's had a change of heart..........."

Dante gazed over at his bro "What do you mean change of heart?.........."

Darius was usually the guy to be up front about things but he felt that is wasn't in his place to tell his brother about it so he puts the topic aside.

"Nevermind.....Let's just enjoy the meal and talk about something else. It's not healthy to be thinking of negative things for a long time"

Dante wanted to know what his brother meant by it but he decided to leave it alone and try his best to eat as much as he could even though he wasn't very hungry.

Brian and Darius would do most of the talking while eating as Dante also talked for a few but mostly listened.

After eating at the bar and grill with Darius and Brian, Dante was once again in his hotel room. Dante lied on his side while having his phone in hand, looking at a picture of him and Weslyn, smiling together during one of their hangouts. The more he stared at the picture, the more broken down he felt while he thought in his head.

'Was all this even real?............I just can't believe she would do this to me............I've been nothing but good to her...............I liked her...........'

He tried to catch some sleep but his night was pretty much restless while all he could do was mope in sadness.
