Without another word she leaped into my arms, her head resting against my chest as she let out all her emotions the only way she knew how. She cried.
"Oh god Angel... what did I do?"
"What is it Shelly, did he hurt you? Did he hurt Hayleigh? What happened?"
[/color]"Oh god Angel... what did I do?"
"What is it Shelly, did he hurt you? Did he hurt Hayleigh? What happened?"
She pulled her head away and seemed to consider what I had asked for a moment.
"No... He would never do that. Angel... I'm... I don't know how to say it."
"Shhhh. It's okay, tell me what happened."[/color]
I closed the door behind her and led her over to the bed, where she sat down. I took my place next to her. I only noticed now that her clothes were wet from the rain, a black tank top and a pair of jeans. I pulled the covers up and wrapped them around her shoulders. She smiled at me then looked away again.
My heart was pounding in my chest. Something happened between her and AJ, something terrible, the very something I'd been waiting ever so patiently for. But seeing her like this makes me regret waiting so long.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said
Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
The sad scene replays
Of you walking away
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shell, you can talk to me, it's okay."
"I know... It's... well.."
"Start from the beginning and work your way to now."
"Reborn... It all started at Reborn, when Adam Knite cheated AJ out of the World title. After that night AJ was never the same again. He... He stopped eating with us, he stopped sleeping with me, he stopped being the person I thought I was in love with..."[/color]
She can't see, but with my left hand I "choke" a near by pillow, squeezing a little tighter with every word.
"He became cold, distant, his eyes were like glass. All I ever saw him do was train and train and train. He hasn't touched me since then, he hasn't spoken to me since then... He... He..."
"Became me?"[/color]
My words are cold, hollow, I tried to regain my composure.
"No... It was worse. You always snapped out of it when Hayleigh was around, or when we were finally alone together... AJ never snapped out of it. And now that he's hurt, now that his title shot has been taken away... I... I don't even know him anymore. It's like... It's like I don't even exist to him now."[/color]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time and again
She repeats lets be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends,
I must confess
I try to let go, but I know
Well never end til were dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust
My body aches from mustakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I shake my head and try to stifle the laugh thats egging it's way up my throat, but I can't contain it.
"Heh...hehee....hahehahehehehahahahahaha...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Why are you laughing, it's not funny, what the hell is wrong with you Angel?"
"hahahahaha...me?...hahahahah... Whats wrong with me?...hahahahahaha... COMING FROM THE WOMEN WHO HAD SEX WITH MY GREATEST RIVAL!?.... hahahahaha... I'M JUST FRIGGIN DUCKY!!!!"[/b][/color]
She looks horrified as I fall forward on the floor, laughing, side splitting laughter... Oh god it hurts so good...
"I hurt Angel, I need someone to talk to, and I come to you, the one person I know I can trust to listen and care about me, and you laugh and insult me?"
I stop laughing, the humor has left me, I only glare at her now.
"You told me you hated me, you told me I made you miserable, you told me to leave."
I stand up.
"You told me you wanted some time alone, you told me you and he were friends, you told me he was everything I could never be."
I take a step and she gets up off the bed.
"Then you told me you loved him."
With each step she gets closer to the wall until her back is against it.
"And now that it turns out that he is exactly like me, if not worse, you come crying back to me for help, like I'm just supposed to feel sorry for you?"
I grab her by both shoulders and shove her against the wall.
"WHY SHOULD I EVEN CARE!"[/color]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Now theres nothing we trust
How could this be happening to me
I'm lying when I say, trust me
I cant believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BECAUSE I STILL LOVE YOU!"[/color]
What? She pushes both my arms away before I know whats happening, wrapping herself tightly around my chest she starts kissing me, on the mouth, the neck.
"I love you Angel *kisses* I always loved you * kisses* I'm sorry. What I did, it was all a terrible mistake. Please forgive me."
"I forgive you."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely nothing we trust
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kris, I'm tired of the same old song and dance out of you. I say your weak, you tell me your not, I say your not as good as you once were, you say you are, I go out to the ring and prove to you that everything I say is truth, and all you can think to do is cast meaningless and idle threats at me, doing all you can to assure yourself that you live up to the hype.
You don't Kris. You never have. Your hype is nothing more or less than shallow words based around uninformed opinions of ignorant fools who can only dream of the day they exist within the shadow of greatness.
Basically Kris, you will never be as good as you think you are.
Forget all your "rage" about your poor wife, forget all the "hatred" you feel towards Burns and I, it's time you moved on Kris. You've been out matched, you've been out classed, and Sunday your going to be out gunned when you get in the ring with us.
I don't care about your Xtreme title reign, I don't care how hard core you think you were, I don't care about your pretty little brief case covered in pink butterflies and fire, I just don't care about you anymore Kris.
I came, I saw and I kicked your ass every time we got in the ring together. I'm done with you. There is nothing left to prove. Picture Perfect, our dominance of the tag team division continues while the Perfect Freaks sink right back in the mediocrity you climbed out of.
And you brother.
I put you six feet in the Earth, not to kill you, not to rid nCw of you, not to make this match easier, I did it to free you Nero. The hold of our Father on you was suffocating you, stifling you, and turning you into nothing more than a pup humping my leg for attention.
But now your free brother. You can go anywhere, you can do anything, and you can do it for you and no one else.
Your welcome.
However, it breaks my heart to see that you have decided to use your freedom to continue this feud, to bring closure to the quest that has been your life. You'd think after having been a slave for so long you would want to go out and actually experience all you've missed out on.
But no, you'd much rather finish what Father started. You need closure, I understand that, but more so, you need to know which of the two of us is better.
The words of our father still haunt you, they still torment you. I'm the gold standard for which your entire life is based, and it drives you mad brother, I get it, and I'm sorry. But sacrificing your freedom so you can prove to dear old dad that your better than me isn't the greatest idea in the world.
Your tough, resourceful, and scare the hell out of allot of people, but the one thing you aren't and the one thing you will never be is better than me brother. You think Father trained you to defeat me? No brother, Father trained you to make me better. You were created to be my greatest challenge, and here you are.
I gave you your freedom so we could avoid this moment, because we are family Nero, and I know in time we could be true brothers. But you need to satisfy your ego. I'm sorry you've chosen this path, I'm sorry you can't move on with your life, I'm sorry that you've been nothing but a tool, father's play thing from the moment you came into this world, but most of all...
I'm sorry for what I'm going to do to you Sunday. I hope one day you'll be able to forgive me as I have forgiven you.
