There is nothing to Fear but Fear Itself

Breeze is alone, sitting in a cold dark room, there are 4 walls but no windows, he is gasping for air, for oxygen but there is none, it smells of dampness and moisture. Breeze sits there, it feels like eternity until light starts to come through in the shape of a door. The door opens and a woman walks through, the woman looks strikingly familiar, her blonde hair coming down over her beautiful face, her small figure looking stunning, she walks over to Breeze with an unearthly grace and sits down next to him. He looks full into her face, her blue eyes melting his heart and her fragrance lifting his spirits, he feels he should know her but he doesn’t. She smiles at him, and his heart almost bursts with joy, she has finally came to him, to be the light of his life, to save him from the darkness. Breeze hugs this woman, and notices the blue dolphin on her right shoulder. His eyes widen and he staggers back, he falls back, that same insane laughing echoing in the background, Hayley’s face a picture of pain and agony. Breeze falls back with a thud, he closes his eyes and when they are open he is alone again, this time his legs and feet feel numb, there is a fierce blizzard blowing around him. He calls out but no-one answers, no-one is there. The wind blows harder and in the wind he can hear echoes, echoes of his own voice, ‘I can’t live without you’, ‘I love you’, ‘I won’t let you leave’, he then hears Hayley’s voice, it is crying, wailing, a chilling sound that strikes at the very being of Breeze, he starts running and clawing his way through the snow, he gets to the bottom of a mountain, a huge mountain, he sees a glimmer at the top, he starts to climb up, then suddenly his is shooting upwards he stops at the top. The top of the mountain is completely flat and there is a full circle of ice, in the middle is Hayley, she is wearing a skimpy see-through white dress. Her blonde hair looking colourless and the blue tattoo of the dolphin looking gray on her shoulder. He hears her sobbing, he runs towards her, he looks behind him to see the ice melting, he takes one last dive and as the ice below him melts, he almost touches the dolphin but again drops through the ice. He looks up through the water and although Hayley’s face should be blurred it’s the same as always, she is crying, she drops her face and when she raises it she has an evil grin on her face and a wild look in her eyes, she starts to laugh hysterically, and it scared Breeze more than life itself

Breeze woke up, a sick feeling of unbearable loss in his stomach, he got up and didn’t bother changing from his t-shirt and boxers he had slept in, he walked downstairs. He heard Hayley’s voice, he walks into the kitchen to find Hayley and Lauren talking to each other, Breeze looks upon Hayley’s face and he almost become over flown with joy. He sits down at the table

Hayley: Hey honey

Breeze looks started

Breeze: Hey, what’s going on?

Hayley: I’ve forgiven you

Breeze: Have you?

Hayley: Yes, I’ve realized I can’t live without you

Hayley walk around the table and sits on Breeze lap, she starts to kiss him

Hayley: Let’s go upstairs

Breeze grins

They walk upstairs and once they enter the room they start making out. Hayley is beneath Breeze on the bed and Breeze is kissing her, she pulls away and he kisses her neck, she grins at him and then sticks her knee into Breeze’s groin

Hayley: I hope she was worth it…

It echoes around the room, Hayley gets up and leaves, the sight of the back of her now and from the hotel mingling and blurring together. Breeze standing in front of Hayley while she is driving the Mercedes comes into play, she drives straight at him and doesn’t swerve instead crashes into him, Breeze’s body flies into the air and drops, the same insane shrieking growing louder with each second…

Breeze sits up, he turns to find Lauren sitting on the chair next to his bed, he looks next to him and sees an empty half of the bed, he pinches himself and finds pain. He looks down at his hand and sees blood, he turns it over to find a scratch on the top of his hand, he looks into the other one and finds a bottle of vodka, empty. Lauren again hands him a cup of coffee, she is dressed as she usually is, sexy. He hasn’t had Hayley in a few days and suddenly feels very attractive to Lauren, he quickly dismisses the idea though

Lauren: Feeling better?

Breeze groans: Don’t tell me I did it again?

Lauren giggles: I’m afraid you did exactly the same as you did before

Breeze: Did I hit on you again?

Lauren: Let’s say a little

Breeze groans: Sorry

Lauren: It’s okay

Breeze: We didn’t sleep together, did we?

Breeze says it in a kind of hopeful way

Lauren laughs: Again no we didn’t

Breeze sighs

Lauren: And why such a great sigh?

Breeze: I was hoping we did

Lauren: Why is that?

Breeze: I was hoping Fudge could put me out of my misery

Lauren touches Breeze’s shoulder

Lauren: It’s not that bad

Breeze: It is, I saw her last night, you know

Lauren: I know

Breeze: How do you know?

Lauren: She phoned me about 15 minutes ago

Breeze: What did she say, what did she say?

Lauren: She asked if you were alright, and she told me what you did last night. Almost getting run over, that’s stupid James, how can you win her back if you’re dead? She also told me about the low blow; that must have hurt

Breeze: More than you can imagine, it was because she did it to me that hurt the most

Lauren: I’ll leave you now

Lauren walks out of the room

Breeze: Why do you haunt my dreams Hayley?

FADE OUT

Breeze sits staring at a picture of Hayley, he holds it in his hands while he listens to ‘Whisper’ by Evanescence

Lauren walks into the room

Lauren: I’m sure I’ve heard that track at least 15 times today

Breeze: It reminds me of Hayley

Lauren: Stop living in the past

Breeze: It’s all I have dammit

Lauren: I can understand w…

Breeze: I miss her Lauren, I miss the way she breathes, the way she looks, her smell, her blue eyes, her blonde hair, her figure, the way she chews the end of her hair when she gets nervous, the way she frowns when she’s angry, the way she holds onto me when she’s scared, I miss watching her perfect body sleep at night, I miss that feeling I get when we kiss, I miss her face, I miss that dolphin, that damn dolphin that’s constantly in front of me. She plagues my dreams, Lauren. I can’t sleep because I keep having nightmares, only one person could have stopped those nightmares and now she’s gone. I can’t live like this I’d rather die, and I would, if it wasn’t for the memories I still hold, so don’t come out with this bullshit about the past because it’s all I have, it’s all I have dammit and without it I would fall apart

Lauren: Breeze I’m sorry but Hayley’s here

Breeze: She’s what?

Lauren: She’s here

Breeze: Why?

Lauren: She’s come for her stuff

Breeze sighs

Breeze: I feel sick

Lauren moves out of the way to reveal Hayley, who must have heard everything he said

Breeze looks at her but she won’t return the gaze

Breeze: What is it with you, you take my eyes out and come back for my eyelashes

Hayley won’t even look at Breeze

Breeze goes to the drawers and pulls out a top, he goes to the CD player and takes out the evanescence CD, he holds the frame, the CD and the to in his left arm

Breeze: Take anything you want, take it all for all I care

Breeze walks past Hayley and Lauren and pushes the door out of his way almost taking it off its hinges

Breeze walks downstairs and into the living room, he sits there staring blankly out of the window while ‘Meteora’ by Linkin Park plays in the background. The tracks go by ‘Don’t Stay’, ‘Somewhere I belong’, ‘Lying From You’, ‘Hit the Floor’, ‘Easier To Run’, ‘Faint’, ‘Figure .09’, ‘Breaking the Habit’ as ‘From the Inside’ is playing Hayley walks into the room. Breeze looks up at her, his face showing pure resentment, painfully hiding his real feelings

Hayley: Will you carry the bag of stuff down for me

Breeze: Get the butler to do it

Hayley: He can’t lift it

Breeze: Get one of the maids to help him

Hayley: They’re all busy; you’re my last resort

Breeze sighs: Fine, where is it?

Hayley: Still in your room

Breeze: You mean our room

Hayley: Will you help or not?

Breeze: Why should I?

Hayley: Fine

Hayley goes to turn around

Breeze: Wait

Hayley: What?

Breeze: I’ll take the damn bag down, you must have a lot in it

Hayley: There is

Breeze walks upstairs and grabs the bag, he tries to lift it with one hand but barely gets it off the ground, he picks it up with both and starts to carry it downstairs

Breeze: Is this just full of cast iron weights?

Hayley: No

Breeze carries the bag to the outside of the mansion and awaits Hayley to open the boot, he throws it in with relief

Breeze: Where will you go?

Hayley: To my new apartment

Breeze: Where’s that?

Hayley: Don’t do this

Breeze: Whatever

Hayley: So, I’ll see you around

Breeze: You will?

Hayley: Don’t be like this

Breeze: Like what?

Hayley: We can still be friends

Breeze: Cut the bullshit, you know we can’t be anything if we’re not together. I couldn’t live with us being ‘friends’ and neither could you

Hayley sighs: Fine well I will still be seeing my brother and Lauren, so I’m sure we’ll meet again

Breeze: And then you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here. You've become a part of me. You'll always be my fear. I can't separate myself from what I've done, giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

Hayley: Linkin Park, nice

Breeze grins: I’ll always be right here cause I’m all that you’ve got

Hayley: Wrong, you’re all that I had, until next time James

Hayley gets in her Mercedes Benz, she drives down out of the huge gates with Breeze watching

Breeze: You will be mine before long Hayley, like it or not

FADE OUT

FADE IN

Breeze moves to the back where Lauren is sunbathing on a deck chair, he sits next to her on a deckchair, and looks out at the cloudless sky

Lauren: Feeling better?

Breeze: What do you think?

Lauren: You’ve got an interview soon

Breeze: I know, I’m leaving for the HWA arena soon, when is Ste back?

Lauren: I don’t know, all he said was that he will be back at Epiphany

Breeze: Is there any way you can get in contact with him?

Lauren: No, sorry

Breeze: The stupid bastard, he leaves right when I need him

Lauren: He wasn’t to know this was going to happen

Breeze: Well let’s just hope he’s back by Epiphany

Lauren: I’m sure he will

Breeze: Well I best be leaving now

Lauren: Okay, good luck see you tonight

Breeze: I will

Breeze walks out to the garage and opens it, he enters his Ferrari and drives to the HWA arena where Kristin Thomas will be interviewing him

FADE OUT

FADE IN

Breeze is sitting in his locker room; lay back on a black leather couch. He rests his head and sighs looking up at the ceiling. He is close to falling asleep but after a loud knock at the door his sleep is interrupted. He stands up and opens the door, Kristin is on the other side with camera man Dave by her side, she smiles at Breeze

Breeze: Welcome to my humble abode

Kristin laughs: So you in a rush today?

Breeze: Why did you ask that?

Kristin: You seemed to be in a rush last time we met

Breeze: I was trying to fix things with my girlfriend?

Kristin: Hayley?

Breeze nods his head

Kristin: Did you then?

Breeze: What?

Kristin: Fix things?

Breeze: Oh, I did but we’ve…

Kristin: Split up?

Breeze: Yeah

Kristin: Sorry, love never lasts

Breeze: I’d expect that from you

Kristin: I’m a realist, not a romantic

Breeze: You’re a cold-hearted journalist

Kristin: Think what you will, shall we begin?

Breeze: I’m sorry, I’m not myself at the moment

Kristin: It’s okay

Kristin nods at Dave and the camera starts rolling

Kristin: Breeze, this is your second pay per view since your return to the HWA and you’re also going against an opponent, who if you beat could give you your second title since your return, you won at the first pay per view can you win at your second?

Breeze: Who’s to say who can’t and can win, of course I can win. Anybody can defeat anyone, there’s always a chance, the important thing is the probability of this chance. The probability of St. Patrick beating Fudge is small whereas the probability of The Chosen One beating Eldorado is high, normally someone could guess who would win a match but this match is probably so close that no-one can tell confidently who will win, either myself or Anubis, I do though however believe I have an edge over him and I hopefully will win, if I don’t believe myself that I can win then how can I possibly defeat Bass Styles and become the new international champion?

Kristin: You can’t, have you any personal feelings towards Anubis, he is meant to be a decent guy?

Breeze: I can’t have any personal feelings towards him, he might no be an asshole, he might be a nice guy, but he’s still a scary guy, he’s still my opponent, he’s still 6 foot 6, 280lbs of pure muscle and the fact that he’s a ‘nice guy’ won’t matter when I’m up in the air as he hits the Outsider. Whether he’s a saint or the god damn devil he won’t be wanting to make friends with me, he’ll be wanting to kick my ass and to keep what’s dear to him

Kristin: What weight and height are you?

Breeze: I’m 6’ 5 and around 275lbs maybe a little more now

Kristin: So there’s nothing more than 2 centimeters and 5lbs between you two then

Breeze: It is

Kristin: Are you in any way scared of Anubis?

Breeze: I am scared of no-one in the HWA and I realize Anubis’s ability to wrestle as well as his immense power and the fact that he has won the HWA International Title and held onto it, but I want that title and I am going to try my best to win it

Kristin: Is your best good enough?

Breeze: I can only hope that it is

Kristin: Are you ready for Epiphany?

Breeze: I am ready for Epiphany, I am more than ready, ready for success, for this opportunity to be grasped, I am coming for that title and I will not be stopped, by Anubis. This is my time and his is over. He cannot stop the unstoppable and I will not rest at Epiphany until that titles is mine, until I make the pin 1…2…3 over his fallen body. I will do what it takes, I will go the distance and win this title. I want it a lot and Anubis is only a man. I have wrestled many people in my time and there has not been one who has been able to scare me, I go into this match with confidence, with promise, with hope. And my hope cannot be killed or decreased by anyone, and by anyone that’s including Anubis. I will strike him until he can be struck no further. I was listening to one of my favourite bands the other day and something caught me while I was listening to ‘Hit the floor’ by Linkin Park. One minute you're on top. Next you're not, watch it drop. Making your heart stop. Just before you hit the floor. One minute you're on top. Next you're not missed your shot. Making your heart stop. You think you've won. And then it’s all gone. This reminds me of exactly how I feel towards Anubis. And at the end of it I will tell him, ‘Now it’s all gone’ This will all be over before you know it Anubis, because I can’t be beaten off of you, you will realize that and come to terms with it, I hold you no ill grudge now and I will not whatever the results of Epiphany but that title will be mine whether you want it to be or not. Bring everything you can Anubis, we both haven’t had the best time outside the HWA but all that will go out of the window. It will be Breeze V Anubis and I’ll be bringing everything I have and I will be giving you all I can, see you at Epiphany Anubis where the question I have been wondering since our match was announced will be answered and I will finally know if you Anubis, the HWA International Champion can truly Feel My Hate!

Dave stops the camera recording, finishing the interview

Kristin: Thank you James, I appreciate you given me your time, you’re interviews always get good ratings, giving me more money

Breeze laughs

Breeze: And there was me thinking you actually like me

Kristin: Cold heartless people don’t know how to like

Breeze laughs and Kristin and Dave the cameraman leave the room

Breeze waits a little before leaving his room to travel to the parking lot

He walks out his room and down the hall, he sees Sett talking to a cleaner, he ignores him and continues to walk, almost at the parking lot doors

Sett: Breeze?

Breeze: What?

Sett: Where’s Fudge

Breeze: I don’t know

Sett: What the hell does that mean? You live with him for god’s sake

Breeze: Look I don’t know what he’s playing at myself, your talking to the wrong person, now if you’ll excuse me I have an empty bed and a night of pain and grief and I’m not talking about working out, so I’m sure you’ll understand I will burst if I don’t get there as soon as possible

Sett: What are you talking about? You have Hayley

Breeze: Whatever, till next time

Sett: Good luck at Epiphany

Breeze: Whatever

Breeze walks to his Ferrari and drives home to Fudge’s Mansion, he enters the living room and sits down on a chair exhausted. Lauren is lay on the couch eating Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Friends is on the television

Lauren: How did the interview go?

Breeze: It went alright, Fudge is not back I take it?

Lauren: I’m afraid not, he should be back soon though

Breeze: I hope so

Breeze gets up to leave

Lauren: Where are you going?

Breeze: I need to work out

Lauren: Are you sure you wouldn’t rather eat ice cream and watch Friends?

Breeze: I would, but I won’t be able to beat Anubis with tubs of ice creams and catchphrases from a TV sitcom

Lauren: Well have a good time

Breeze: I’ll try but I probably won’t succeed

Lauren laughs and Breeze walks upstairs to his room, he sticks some music on and starts to work out, after a very long and exhausting time Breeze takes a shower, he puts some boxer shorts on and gets into bed, almost become overwhelmed with grief he reaches down under the bed and pulls out a bottle of vodka, he looks at it and feels a compulsion to drink it, he suppresses that compulsion and throws the bottle against his the wall on the other side of the room, glass shattering down. To get drunk for a third night being so close to a huge match for his career would be stupid. He watches television for hours, waves of exhaustion sweeping over him, he tries not to fall asleep but he cannot stop the inevitable, he drifts off asleep. Breeze sleeps on the edge of being awake, a frightened face of Hayley comes before him and his eyes open quickly, he stands up and starts to walk around the room muttering ‘This is stupid’ over and over to himself. He picks up the phone next to his bed and phones Fudge’s mobile. There is no answer, he struggles very hard not to smash the phone against the wall. He has an idea, a wild one but he picks up the phone. He phones Hayley’s cell phone, he knows she would not answer him normally but maybe she thinks it will be Stephen or Lauren. He phones the cell phone ring…ring…ring …ring…ring…ring…ring he is about to put the phone down but hears Hayley’s voice.

Hayley: Lauren?

Breeze doesn’t speak but finally says something

Breeze: No, it’s uh… It’s James

Hayley: Well… hey I’m kind of busy right now

Breeze: Busy doing what? Drying your hair at 1 O’Clock in the morning?

Hayley: I don’t think I am ready to speak with you yet

Breeze: Please

Hayley: I’m sorry I can’t I…

Breeze: Don’t hang up on me Hayley, don’t hang up on me

Hayley: I’m sorry

Hayley hangs up the phone

Breeze: Hayley… Hayley

Breeze grabs the phone and throws it against the wall, he starts to punch and head butt the wall, he finally has let out enough anger and rolls back into bed, he drifts away again into a quite slumber

His dreams are not completely filled with horror but near the end of his slumber, the same dream of him drifting away from Hayley and falling into some unimaginable hole with only her face in agony and terror with a wild look in her eyes and her hysterical laughing that can be heard haunts him, he hears Fudge’s voice and wakes up, Fudge is sat next to him, he turns to Fudge but Fudge’s look towards him is one of hatred, Fudge’s eyes turn red, he starts to pound on Breeze’s head, Breeze’s blocks the punches but they come fast and there was no giving up, Fudge’s knuckles are soon bleeding. Fudge picks up Breeze and tosses him into the wall with little effort. He picks Breeze up and holds him against the wall he asks the question, ‘Why did you do it?, why did you sleep with Lauren?’ Breeze repeats ‘I didn’t’ but Fudge just continues to assault him, he throws him against the window and puts his head through it, the time a year ago when Fudge did this to Breeze when he found out Breeze was sleeping with Hayley, mingled with this time and merged with it. Last time Lauren was in the way to stop him but this time she wasn’t, Fudge threw Breeze and he fell but Fudge’s arm lashed out and with it Breeze remembers when he almost dropped a set of weights on himself and Hayley’s arm lashed out. Breeze looks up at Fudge and Hayley, both seeming to be there at the same time. They both look normal until their eyes turn red. Breeze’s eyes widen with fear as Fudge drops him from the window and the weights come crashing down onto his face. He falls, ‘James?’ repeating in the background. He shoots his head up from the bed sweating heavily and with a frightened look in his eyes.

Breeze looks ahead of him, he shakes his head. He sees Fudge at the doorway of his bedroom

Fudge: James?

Breeze: I didn’t do it

Fudge: Do what?

Breeze: Nothing, when did you get back?

Fudge: Last night

Breeze: Why didn’t you tell me?

Fudge: I came in but you were asleep

Breeze: What time did you get home at?

Fudge: Around 2am

Breeze: Okay

Fudge: I didn’t get to sleep till 3 though, it took Lauren a long time to fill me in on what’s happened since I left, a few days without me and you get lost. Hayley’s left you, you’re getting drunk and hitting on Lauren every night and you’re becoming an insomniac

Breeze: It’s all your fault

Fudge: I knew you were going to try and blame someone else for your mistakes

Breeze: My drink was spiked

Fudge: So what? You knew what you were doing while you were sleeping with someone else in that bed

Breeze: Fuck you, you’re the one that dragged me to that club in the first place

Fudge: You want to lose me as well, is that it? Because frankly I don’t think you could handle losing me as well as Hayley

Breeze: I did it before, didn’t I?

Fudge: But you can’t do it now and you god damn well know it, stop snapping at me I’m here to help

Breeze: Stephen?

Fudge: What have I told you about calling me my real name?

Breeze: Do you think I can get her back?

Fudge: I don’t know James, she is fragile and you must have really hurt her for her to leave

Breeze: Can you talk to her?

Fudge: You know nothing I will say to Hayley will change things

Breeze sighs: What have I done?

Fudge: What can I do for you?

Breeze: Win the World Championship for me

Fudge: I did the third win for you, I’ll do this one for you

Breeze grins

Breeze: Now can I take a shower and maybe get dressed without you watching before I come downstairs, or is that too much to ask?

Fudge laughs and leaves the room, Breeze takes a shower and gets dressed in a pair of black Nike pants, a white tank top and a white bandana, he puts on a pair of blue Nike TN’s and walks downstairs, he finds Fudge sitting on the dining table, staring into a glass of coke, he sits next to Fudge but Fudge doesn’t seem to notice

Breeze: Hey man

Fudge doesn’t move

Breeze (loud): Stephen?

Fudge: Huh, oh hi, how are you?

Breeze: Not good, you don’t look it either

Fudge: I’m just thinking

Breeze: About?

Fudge: Nothing important

Breeze: You mean you don’t want to talk about it

Fudge: Well…

Breeze: So where’s Lauren?

Fudge: Sunbathing

Breeze: Again?

Fudge: Yeah

Breeze: So have you heard from Hayley?

Fudge: Yeah

Breeze: When?

Fudge: About an hour ago

Breeze: And?

Fudge: She told me not to tell you anything, and I can’t I’m sorry okay but I’ve already lost one sister, I’m not losing another

Breeze: Your not still blaming yourself for Galaxy, it wasn’t your fault

Fudge: Don’t be stupid and stop lying we both know it was my fault

Breeze: Let’s drop this okay, I don’t want an argument, you know how easily wound up we can get with each other, you want to come out to the back, we could go in the pool, relax our muscles before our big matches, what do you say?

Fudge: Oh, I don’t know, I’m not in the mood

Breeze: At least come out in the back, soak up some of the sun

Fudge: Fine considering I won’t get any peace if I don’t

Breeze: I only asked

Fudge: You only nagged

Breeze takes a long breath and swallows his pride, he doesn’t answer Fudge back, knowing all too well the fist fights that they get into sometimes takes weeks for the bruises to heal.

Breeze: Coming?

Fudge: Well I don’t have any choice

Breeze sighs again and walks to the back, with Fudge closely behind him

Breeze immediately takes off his tank top and pants to reveal shorts, he dives into the pool as soon as he enters the huge back yard of the mansion.

Fudge sits next to Lauren on a deck chair, he looks at Breeze swimming around

Fudge: Look at him, he’s like a child

Lauren: What’s up your ass?

Fudge: Nothing

Lauren: Oh okay then, sure there isn’t

Breeze continues to swim, he eventually gets out

Fudge: I’m going to get a drink, do you want one?

Breeze: Just a glass bottle of coke

Fudge: Okay

Fudge gets up from the deck chair, he walks past Breeze buts stumbles on is weak right knee, he falls but Breeze catches him, he helps him onto his feet

Breeze: Is your knee troubling you?

Fudge pushes Breeze off of him

Fudge: I’m not a cripple, and no it’s not, it’s just a small stumble. Nothing more, it could have happened to anyone

Breeze: Alright, I’m not saying it is

Fudge: Yeah well, can I go get the cokes or are you going to question my health again

Breeze: No, you go get the drinks, I’m sure you can make it to the kitchen on your own

Fudge mutters something leaving Breeze grinning knowing that his cool way of taking it and his little comment probably annoyed Fudge enormously

Lauren: You shouldn’t do that to him

Breeze: Oh come on now, I’m joking

Lauren: This may not be the time for it

Breeze: If I don’t laugh very soon I’m going to end up crying

Lauren: Alright, just don’t wind him up, he needs his concentration

A few moments later Fudge walks out of the mansion with 3 glass bottles of coke, he hands one to James and one to Lauren and sits down on the deckchair, his right knee scarless from the result of no operations or surgery ever been performed on it, Breeze thinks about it for a bit

Breeze: Ste?

Fudge: Yeah?

Breeze: I think you should maybe finally get some surgery on that knee

Lauren: Don’t even go there James, you know how he gets and I’ve tried a hundred times, it’s no use

Fudge: James?

Breeze: Yeah?

Fudge: Why don’t you mind your own business

Breeze: But, surgery could completely repair it

Fudge: I don’t care, I will win without that crap, I’m not like some people

Breeze: You mean me?

Fudge: No, I didn’t say that

Breeze: You did anything but come out and say it, so what? I needed my elbow fixed, at least now I can wrestle with no problem, I’m not like some people

Fudge: My knee is fine okay, and it will stay that way, nothing you can say will make me have surgery on it, okay. I can wrestle with no problem at all, I can wrestle without any problem, I can wrestle better than anyone else, including you. So come and give me advise on ‘how to wrestle’ when you’re the 3 time HWA World Champion, or wait the 4 time World Champion

Breeze: If you didn’t mean so much to me I would jump on you now, but I don’t want to you to be less than 100% before Epiphany

Breeze dives back into the pool before Fudge can say anything. Fudge returns back to his seat next to Lauren, he talks to her while Breeze swims around in the cool water, while the sun above bathes them all in its golden light, both Breeze and Fudge anxious to start their matches which could give Breeze the International Title for the second time and Fudge the World Championship for the fourth, making him the only man ever to do it in the HWA, to make history

FADE OUT
