"Why do you do this to yourself Alex?
Why do you come out here time after time after time and say the same things?
Who you are can't beat me?
But who you were could?
Same song...
Same dance...
I'm over it...
I'm not doubting you Alex.
I've never doubted your abilities as a wrestler.
But there has to come a time when even you realize that the things you say are just words.
...LIES...
To make yourself feel better...
To build yourself up...
Add a little heat to this already burning inferno...
If you need to change who you are...
To beat me...
You've already lost...
Cite the past...
Remind everyone of what we did...
I don't care...
I don't hide it...
What the Revolution did...
Was make you stand up...
Was make you fight for something...
I don't need a reason to destroy things Alex...
That's who I am...
That's my Legacy."

{ Shelly stood up, she did what she had come here to do and now it was time to leave. She stopped when she reached the door, papers in hand and turned back to look at Angel who was sitting forward, resting his elbows on his knees. }
"Were there ever any good times?"

"Were there ever any good times?"
{ Angel looked up, a little surprised by her question, but it wasn't one he hadn't considered many times himself. }
"I know of at least one..."[/color]
***February 15th, 2006***
{ Shelly's water broke at about 3:30 am, she nudged Angel and told him "It's time." }
I wasn't even sure what to do, yeah you go over stuff like this in your head... but this was for real.[/color]
{ Angel grabbed her single bag, she had already made her way out to their car. He rushed down the steps and out the door, nearly forgetting to lock it. }
This was it, this was the moment that would change our life's forever, we were going to be parents![/color]
{ He jumped in the car and they were off. The hospital was only one town away from where they lived, it would only take ten minutes to get there. However, there was one thing they had forgotten. }
She didn't have a name.[/color]
I think Angel was the one who said "Hayleigh" half way to the hospital.[/color]
I always loved that name.[/color]
{ Shelly gave birth to Hayleigh Jane Blake at 4:35 pm that afternoon. She was 8 pounds and 5 ounces, 20 and one half inch long. }
She was the absolute most beautiful baby I had ever laid eyes on.[/color]
It was a struggle to look away.[/color]
{ Angel and Shelly posed for their first picture with Hayleigh at about 6 pm that evening, the Blake family was all smiles with their little miracle tightly gripping one of each of their fingers in her hands. }
Without a doubt the happiest moment of my life.

"All I've ever wanted was your best...
But you always had to make it personal...
You always had to go too far...
I'm not a dishonorable man...
If you want my respect...
It's yours to earn...
But what you've done?
What your now sorry for doing?
I cannot forgive that Alex...
I cannot turn my back now and just say 'ok' because your sorry...
You chose to be who you are...
You chose to walk this path...
You chose to carry things this far...
I asked you two months ago to give her back...
I pleaded with you...
I begged you...
And what did you do Alex?
Twisted that knife until it broke...
So do not come out here crying to me about not liking who you are...
BOO HOO!
Guess what kid?
What your just realizing is what everyone has been telling you for years...
There is no difference between AJ Phoenix and Alex Jones...
You are a cocky, arrogant, selfish bastard who only cares about himself...
You see something you want...
You try to take it...
By any means necessary...
Denying that fact is lying to yourself...
I know who you are..
I know what your capable of...
And I know giving up Hayleigh was the right thing to do...
When I asked the first time...
Now...
Your afraid...
Like all the others...
You remember the Death Cage...
The hatred in my eyes...
The pain as I ripped your flesh from your bones...
You know this is for keeps...
You know there will not be a next time for you...
So now you back peddle...
Now you play Mr. Nice Guy...
Sorry Alex...
But I tried to play nice with you before...
Now...
Now I just want to see you dead."[/b]

***Present Day***
{ Shelly smiled at Angel before waving goodbye one final time and stepping out the front door of their former home. Angel leaned back into the couch and rubbed his face, still not believing it was real. }
I've told myself this is what I wanted for so long... I spent days and nights imagining what it would be like to finally have Shelly out of my life forever... but now that that moment has come and gone... now that I can finally begin a new life with Tara without worrying about Shelly... I'm suddenly not sure...
{ Angel lets out a deep sigh as he slumps forward again back to his previous position. }
You tell yourself your tired of someone... That your sick of their baggage... That your better off without them... We were together for eight years... Eight years... That's not a fly by night relationship... there had to be something... Some reason we stayed together that long... And even now as I sit here... I can't think of a single reasons besides Hayleigh.
{ He looks over to the book shelf where most of their family photos are, he focus' on the one of them from the hospital. }
Could she really be the only reason we put up with each other for that long? Could that little bundle of love truly be the single representation of our connection? I think about Tara and I feel a lighting bolt run up and down my spine, my heart starts to pound in my chest and sweat begins to form in my palms. I think of Shelly and I feel...
{ Angel stands up and walks across the room to a picture of just Angel and Shelly, the two of them smiling and embracing for the camera. The picture of true love. }
I feel nothing.
{ With his right hand he places the picture face down... }
---------------
"You want to be my equal?
You want to prove something to the world?
You do it in a wrestling ring...
Not with MY daughter...
I don't care who is better...
And as far as I'm concerned we were never equals...
I...
Am...
Become...
Death...
And you will be my victim..."
The end.
