Yes, I know MyBizTheMiz is doing something like this too. It was her idea and I asked for permission so no yelling at me :P
Sorry if you're sick of my suckish song fics, blame my Mikey for getting me addicted to writing them.
Anyway enjoy.
Pairing: Dolph/Drew
Song: Never Again - Nickelback
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run
When you see him clenching his hands
She's just a woman
Never again
Drew sat in his hotel room, just minding his own business, watching the television. That's when the bloodcurdling screams start. Those screams…
Drew shakes his head. Goddamnit, he's going to kill Bryan fucking Danielson.
He slowly stood and walked down the hall as the screams got progressively louder. How did no one else hear? Did they just not care?
"I'm coming Nick. Just hold on a bit longer." He whispered to himself, roughly pounding on Bryan and Dolph's room.
"Keep quiet!" Bryan's gruff voice shouted, then a second later he swung the door open. "What do you want McIntyre?" He scoffed.
"Um, Vince wants to talk to Nick and he sent me to come get him." Drew lied.
"Fine. Take him." Bryan rolled his eyes. "Nick you're wanted!" He shouted.
Drew fought a gasp as Nick came into view. His face was bloody, pink and bruised. He walked towards Drew with a trembling lower lip.
Without another word, Bryan shoved Nick out the door and slammed it shut. Drew immediately took Nick in his arms.
"Shhh, it's okay." He cooed.
I hear her scream, from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, go back to bed
"So wh-why does Vince want m-me?" Nick stammered, wincing as he roughly fisted away tears.
"He doesn't." Drew whispered. "I couldn't help myself. I knew what he was doing to you. I had to stop him."
"Drew, just go back to bed." Nick cried.
Drew scooped Nick up into his arms and carried him back to his room.
"Nick…" Drew shook his head as he laid Nick on the bed.
He walked to the kitchen and got Nick a bag of ice. He sat down beside him and held the ice to his left cheek which looked the worst.
"Nick you have to tell someone. Other than me. I can only do so much."
"I… I deserved it." Nick croaked.
"No. No you didn't. I don't care what you did, it's not alright for him to hit you."
"I'm fine Drew." Nick said firmly. "I can take care of myself."
"Nick… what if he goes too far one day?"
Nick simply sighed in response.
I'm terrified that she'll wind up
Dead in his hands
She's just a woman
Never again
Been there before
But not like this
Seen it before
But not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never again
Drew took care of Nick for a while, then Nick insisted on going back to Bryan.
"Fine, but Nick please tell me if he does anything worse."
Nick nodded but he didn't plan on it.
Drew walked him back to his room. He had a really bad limp.
"God, you're such a wimp Nick." Bryan scoffed as he watched Nick hobble around. "I barely even touched you."
"I think my leg's b-broken." Nick winced.
"God, drama queen much? But fine, I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow."
Nick nods and lays down in the bed beside Bryan.
Hoping, praying that Drew would come save him. He knew he'd told him not to but when he was with Drew was the only time he didn't fear for his life.
The next morning, Nick is woken up by Bryan yelling at him to get the fuck out of bed. He has a doctor's appointment.
Nick whimpers but nods. The spot on his leg that he thought was broken is now a bit swollen. He cringes as it throbs and clutches it.
"Oh quit being a puss and let's go." Bryan tosses Nick his jacket and is already out the door and on his way to the car by the time Nick has the strength to stand.
Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you
She wants the truth
It's right out there
In the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin' just as sweet as he can
Never again
They arrive at the doctor's office and Nick is taken to a room while Bryan sits in the waiting room.
"Oh, this looks bad." The nurse makes a face as she examines Nick's leg.
"What happened to it?"
"I… fell." Nick lies.
She raises a brow skeptically.
"I'm a nurse, I know these kind of breaks don't happen from a bad fall. It's usually intentional."
"Well that's how it happened." Nick says, staring off into space.
She sighs.
"Well, it looks like it's a pretty clean break so shouldn't take too long to fix." Nick nods and is taken to get a cast placed on his leg.
"Costing me too much money Nemeth." Bryan growls as he hands over the cash for the cast.
"S-sorry." Nick stammers, he's still in unbearable pain.
Bryan has a match tonight. Nick hobbles over to Drew's room with his crutches.
Drew gasps as he opens the door.
"Nick… he broke your leg?"
Nick nods and buries his head in Drew's chest, soaking the tank top he's wearing with tears.
"Nick you have to do something."
"I-I can't. He'll just go to jail for a few years but then he'll get out and come f-find me." Nick sobs.
Drew pulls him inside and shuts the door with his foot.
"Shhh, it's alright. I'm here now."
"But you'll be g-gone soon and I'll be alone with him again."
Seen it before
But not like this
Been there before
But not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never again
Drew frowns, he knows this is true.
He stands and decides he is going to give Bryan a piece of his mind.
"Come on." He takes Nick's hand and they walk back to he and Bryan's room.
They wait on the bed.
Soon Bryan walks in.
"What the fuck are you doing in my room McIntyre?"
Drew stands and begins shouting at the top of his lungs.
Father's a name
You haven't earned yet
You're just a child
With a temper
Haven't you heard
"Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure
He sums it all up with a hard right hook and walks out the door, warning him to never touch Nick again.
The second Drew leaves Bryan turns to Nick, fury clear in his eyes.
"Why the hell was he in our room in the first place? Why does he know? Stop trying to make people fucking pity you!" Bryan spits, throwing a punch at Nick.
He's drunk again
It's time to fight
Same old shit
Just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Nick has had enough.
He's sick of being abused.
He scrambles out of Bryan's reach and slams open the drawer where they keep the guns.
He grabs one and holds it protectively in front of himself.
Bryan immediately pauses and for once he is the one in fear of his life.
"B-baby, c'mon. You don't wanna do that." He says backing away slowly.
"Oh I don't?" Nick laughed, aiming the gun at Bryan's heart.
"Baby come on, let's talk about this. Just put down the gun."
"Oh I don't think so."
Nick clenches his eyes shut and pulls the trigger. He hears the sickening splatter of blood as Bryan's body falls to the ground.
Tonight she'll find out
How fucking tough is this man
Pulls the trigger
Just as fast as she can
Never again
Drew hears the gun shot and panics. He immediately runs down the hall and slams open the door. He gasps when he sees the bloody mess on the floor. Bryan lays in a heap. He looks up and sees Nick, gun resting in his shaking hands.
They lock eyes and the tears begin pouring. Nick collapses in Drew's arms.
"He's gone. He's finally g-gone." Nick sobs, clutching to Drew's shirt.
