he cameras busted to life to a dark and gloomy day. The cloud held buckles of rain just waiting for the right moment to dump them out. A soft warm breeze blew and rustled the trees. Cody Carson stood in front of his apartment door, leaning over the balcony, thinking to himself. He had a confused look on his face as his unbuttoned shirt flapping in the gentle breeze. He was in a pair of smiley face boxers, an old bent up and ripped belt with lightning bolts on it. His old worn and ripped up jeans looked like they had been washed; for once. He’s emerald green eyes where in a confused straight, looking like he was questioning something. His face was emotionless, but he eyes showed that something was bugging him. He dropped his other elbow onto the railing and just stared into blankness. The door beside his opened and Carmen Dumas, wearing a white shirt that showed off her newly pierced belly button. Her thong was showing and it was yellow. Her pants where an old pair of Cody’s that she still had from back at their old place. She wore a belt, more for show then to hold her pants up but it kinda held then where she wanted then. She didn’t have any make up on, but she still looked stunning and would shut any man up if she walked by them. She fumbled with her keys and then looked at Cody. Her faces wrinkled up, seeing him in this state of confusion. She walked over and leaned on the railing with him. He didn’t look at her at all.
“So, what’s wrong?” She asked almost touching his back but pulling her hand away.
“Nothing.” HE said, still not looking at her. He fought with himself to just not give in to her, to not look at her and see how bare he felt.
“Don‘t bull shit me Cody Carson.” She said with a smirk. “I was engaged to you don‘t forget.”
“Yeah, you where…” Cody said, without a hint of sarcasm.
“Cody,” Carmen said, her voice suddenly changing to soft. “I… We…”
Cody scoffed and looked at the sky. “Don‘t worry about it.”
“Why won‘t you look at me?”
Cody paused for a minute, thinking. “I don‘t want to look at you.”
Carmen looked at him puzzled and then looked herself up and down. “Hell honey, if I was a normal man, I would want to look at me? Not to be conceded.”
“I‘m not a normal man Carmen.” Cody said still refusing to look at her.
“Damn it Cody, You almost killed your best friend.”
Cody spun around to look at her now. His face in a glare the scared her. He advanced on her, Grabbing her and slamming her into the door of his apartment, walking through, still holding her but the arms and slams her into the wall as tears well up in her eyes. “Don‘t you dare tell me right from wrong. Seth deserved everything he got and more. That’s son of a bitch ruined my life.”
“Look at yourself Cody. Listen to your…” Carmen stopped and he let her go he grabbed his head and groaned as he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a beer. “What‘s happening to you Cody? ”
Again he refuses to look at her. “Nothing, Don‘t worry about it.”
Carmen storms up to him shaking her head. She grabs him and pushes him against the counter. “I do worry about it.” She touches his cheek and slides her hand down his rippling abs. “I don‘t want your to get hurt or to hurt anyone.”
“Your one to talk.” Cody mumbled.
Carmen looked at him blankly, deserving that shot. She nodded and then turned to walk out. As she left Carson standing there. After a couple of seconds Cody spun of the counter and walked out after her, He quickly jumped over the railing, not even thinking, he landed almost on top of her. Carmen jumped back and fell onto her ass as Cody Hobbled up to one foot, Fighting through the pain as Carmen got up Carson grabbed her and pushed her against the metal bars surrounding the pool. She looked at him as they laced their fingers together, Cody leaned in to kiss her and just before their lips meet, and elderly lady baring a cane screamed at them. “Get a room your young wipper snappers.” Cody turns to look at her and smirks.
“Yes Mrs. Anderson.” Cody turned back to Carmen who was biting her bottom lip. “Carmen, I apologies, I‘ve been a dick. Will you take me back?”
“Yes Cody. Now kiss me you fool.” The two start to make out and then suddenly we are back in Carson apartment. Cody is still standing there against the counter. He shook his head to get the day dream out of his mind and then rolled off the counter and walked to the door. Carmen was climbing into a car with a brown haired man and Cody just glared. He turned around and punched the wall as hard as he could, backing some of it off but busting his hand open. He squeezed his fist and watched the blood trickle down his hand and onto his arm.
“Not so tough without a ball bat eh?” Came a females voice from behind him.
Cody refuses to look at his friend and Carmen sister. “ I‘m sorry Jalie… But what’s done is done.”
“You’re just as bad as him for fuck sakes. Only, Seth didn‘t try to make your head part of a car.” Jalie was furious. Almost debating the best way to kill Carson.
“If you don‘t want to say here, then its cool… Not like anyone wants to be around me, a second rate champion and a third rate man.” Cody walked back into the apartment and into the kitchen opening his beer and taking a couple of swigs.
“What the hell are you talking about?” She asked walking in and shutting the door.
Cody again would not turn and look at her. “Seth is right, he deserves the title more then me, You deserve a better partner then me. there is no way in fucking hell I can walk into a match with 6 of the greatest AWA superstars and walk out with the world title on my waist,” Cody Paused “I kinda hope they kill me.” He mumbled the last part but Jalie caught it.
“No you don‘t.”
“Yes I fucking do. Seth is my fucking brother, and he hates me, he wants my head on a silver platter. Alex hates me, Everyone in this match is going to go straight for my head. And Plus I got to defend my… Our tag team titles against rick and Mike. The bastards that screwed me only a week ago. So, if you do think I want to die, give me a good reason why?”
“My…”
“Your sister, she hates my guts, that’s why she is running off with some brown haired goof…”
“Chill dude.”
“No, you know what, fuck this, I‘m out of here.” Cody throw the bottle and it broke against the wall, as he stormed out past Jalie, the rain started to fall and the wind picked up. HE turned and jumped down the steps, until he hit the bottom. He jumped into his truck and sped off.

The cameras fade into the sounds of police sirens. I know, Cody Carson is getting arrested again right? Wrong. The cameras slowly fade into a section off part with yellow police tape. A red truck was destroyed, as was a black one. Cody Carson is being put onto an orange back board, they lift him up and put him onto the stretcher. The other driver is put in hand cuffs and tossed into the back of a cruiser, despite his truck taking the worst of the damage, he looked pretty ok.
“He can up positive for Marijuana, Myth and his Blood alcohol count was .9 No wonders he’s not hurt. ” The officer who pushed the scrawny guy into the cruiser said.
“What about him?” The rookie cop asked, as he pointed to Carson.
“HE was clean.” The cop said as the man wrote something down. “He looks formulary… I think I have seen him before.”
“You ever watch the AWA net work?” The younger cop asked, not looking up from the paper.
“Yeah, its awesome to see guys beat the shit out of each other and it all be real, like UFC only better.”
“Well, that’s the world champion.”
“That’s not Cody Carson.” The cop smiled. “Stop fucking with my brain.”
“Sergeant, He was just in a car accident, He’s not going to look the same.”
The sergeant squinted at Carson and then his eyes widened. “It is him.”
The ambulance attendant hit the back of the bus and it drive off with Carson inside.
