Is This It: IV
Options

..:: There’s an eerie silence in our house. It’s not something I’m quite fond of, to be honest. Usually Samantha is watching television or I’m downstairs in my basement watching television but there is an uneasy air here today. Been like this ever since Scorpio and Myself reunited. Almost like everything is on stand still, while my stock is rising. ::..

..:: I really don’t like it. ::..


Sam looks up from her book and sees me messing with my phone. She sighs to get my attention but I don’t look up. I’m too busy looking up the stats from the Ravens victory over the Titans on my phone. She sighs louder and my eyes peer up to her position.

“You need something?”

“Yeah. Come over here and sit with me”

She says and I keep eye contact with her for a second and then look back at my phone.

“In a second…”

I say and glance back at my phone. I can hear book closing and I see her getting up out of the corner of my eye.

“What are you doing?”

“I haven’t seen you in days and you won’t even spend time with me?”

She spits out and I immediately close my phone and look at her.

..:: Well, here we go again. ::..

“I’m spending time with you. I don’t see you making any effort reading that smut of yours.”

“You call sitting across the room from each other spending time with each other? Do you Johnny?”

“It’s better than nothing, right? I could be out living the rock star life with Scorpio, or I could be anywhere in the world but I’m here with you”

I retort but I see it’s much to her dismay. Her eyes dart around the room as she shakes her head.

“It’s better than nothing’. I swear, every time you’re out on the road you come home different. Every single time”

She says and I just think to myself that this started over me not sitting next to her on the couch. What would we do then? I’d mess with my phone and she’d continue reading her book. I swear, sometimes…

“What are you getting so upset about Sam? You want to go out to dinner? You want to go to Paris for the night? You can have anything you want and yet you’re complaining about spending time with each other.”

“You think this is about whatever I want and wherever I want to go? No, Johnny, this is about the time we’re not spending together. This is about you going back on the road. What will happen when our little girls are born? Are you going to leave me with three children? Are you going to run off with Scorpio every chance you get? Are you not going to spend time with your family?”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

I say and I can see her start to cry. Her crying never helps the situation and she turns her back to me. I get up from my chair and walk over to her. I gently put my hands on her shoulders and she violently jerks away from me.

“What the hell did I do wrong?”

“All I want is for you to spend time with me before our world is shaken. I want you to be there for me when I’m cold or when I need love. I don’t feel that anymore”

She says and my heart drops into my shoes. Could this be the end? Is this it? Her back tenses up as she wipes tears from her face.

“What do you feel?”

“I feel you’re drifting away. I feel you’re not here for me when I need you. You’re always too busy or you’re always away with your job or out playing Bromance with Scorpio. I just… hate…it”

And with that the tears start falling like emotional waterfalls. I place my arms around her and rest my hands on her stomach, feeling my lifeblood in her.

“Samantha, I will always be here for you. I do what I do to make a better life for you, don’t you understand this? I would never do anything to hurt you. I would never do anything to make you feel isolated. I’m doing this to provide for the three new members of the family. You realize this, right? And Scorpio means no harm, hell if anything these three can finally have a Uncle to look up to, unlike my piss head brother Tails.”

I say and I feel her hands rest on top of mine.

“I just feel alone. I just want you to realize that”

She says and removes my hands from her stomach. Without another word she walks up the spiral staircase upstairs. I stand in the living room contemplating if I should go up there and chase her or leave her to think about what I said. I walk into the kitchen feeling what she is feeling.

Alone.

To the girl that can't forgive me

“What a way to ring in the new year. Bobby Azula, the witness himself coming to the rescue of Matt Marvel. Would be full of shit if I said I expected it. But then again I would be full of shit if I said I expected anything from Bobby Azula.”

“Other then mid card success that is.”

“Bobby we’ve done this dance before, and you came up short on the waltz, remember. I sure do. Then again that victory over you was the beginning of my Era of Dominance. Since I defeated you Azula, I’ve been on a streak of a lifetime. A winning streak that some are comparing to the Cav’s 20 straight home victories.”

“And just like that Streaks still going strong, so will mine.”

“Bobby, I’m not sure what you hoped to prove coming out last week in the aid of Matt Marvel. I don’t know if you saw it as a leap into the spotlight or if you and Matt have finally decided to come out togther. But it doesn’t really matter. The end result come Vital Signs will be the same as it was a few weeks past.”

“A End Result for you, and a Victory for me.”

“But the past is the past right Bobby? Lets take a good look at you know, High Impact shows off a new look and your standing there with Two useless championships. Your standing there with your masses of loyal Azula fans behind you. I mean look at you Azula, you‘ve come a long way since Barley Legal haven‘t yea?”

“Wait you were a mid card champion there to. I guess nothings change really.”

“Come on Azula, Can you actually look in the mirror and call yourself a true champion? I don’t know who’s jerking you off, but don’t get all laid back on me.”

“Listen Maybe we should forget about what happened at Vital Signs last week. It’s clear you were jumping into the deep end of the pool before you realized you don’t know how to swim. You can’t serious believe that because you played Superman during Vital signs that you belong in the main event. Listen Kid, the word is quickly spreading, everyone is starting to realize that you taking on a push you’re ass isn‘t ready for. Maybe Deka believes you‘ll ‘show me the light‘ but we all saw how that ended for are GM. Let’s sit for a moment and talk. You can’t cut it in the main event. You couldn‘t cut it back in Barley Legal and you haven‘t been able to handle success here, I mean why else would you be aiding Matt, rather then kicking him while he‘s down.”

“Listen Bobby, this is going to be the easiest victory of my fucking weak and pathetic career. To be blunt, I plan on pissing on everything you have ever accomplished thus far. On both titles you currently hold. Your own name is where I’m aiming my dick Azula”

“ Do you actually think your going to walk away un harmed after ruining a historic moment for DoA? DoA has finally come togther, AGAIN. Some people have been dying to see this. And you ruined it on impulse. You’re so quick to attack Bobby, but have you ever thought about taking it easy and just plan ahead? Take a second to think about the reaction to your decisions? You had to believe that by you saving Matt, you voluntary punched your own death certificate. To say the least Bobby, you beat yourself on this one.”

“And we all get to Witness your down fall”

“You’re the underdog in this one Bobby. We’re going to enter Vital Signs and the balls will be on my court and you damn well know this. I’m a whole other game then anyone you have come to face.”

“But you already knew this from are last meeting.”

“I’m not here to test my skills against you. No, definitely not. I can care less about you getting into my feud with Matt, really you just saved Matt from another lose at my hand.”

“And to think I though you would be something special back in BLWA. Boy was I wrong.”
