Chap1: This Intensity Makes No Sense to Me

Shawn

We were beating them…getting our revenge, our revenge for Ric. Beating them to a bloody pulp… for Ric…We had 'em… we really did…and then you crumbled… through that table… and I felt like the world had plummeted under my feet… you looked shocked for a moment, the determined… you carried on…I honestly couldn't of been any more proud… we both knew what had happened….so did Randy and his fuck buddy for the moment… I was thrown temporarily back to the days of when my back was done in and my career was over for good… it was determination and grit to get those matches with Steve and Mark over… They'd questioned me, how tough I was…tested me… and even question how Texan I was… can you believe it? ... I showed them… didn't I?

Everyone had questioned you… how good you were…you've carried so much…and this happens… and we still come up on top…

Babe like I said I couldn't be anymore proud of you.

We'll get Randy back. Don't worry I'll make sure of it…oh and Edge too…that'll be sorted…it won't be pretty…

Just recover…and get back. Then we can celebrate the best way we know how.

You know I'd be praying for your recovery… do I really need to say I would?

Be safe babe… let me deal with the rest.I hope you let me deal with the rest…I don't want you to get hurt again. God please don't let him get hurt again.

Let love not weigh me down…let its weakness be my guide… let this intensity make perfect sense to me…Let love not weigh you down.

Hunter

"Mr Helmsly take it easy for a couple of days… don't want you getting hurt again eh champ?"

A grunt in reply was all that Dr Manifold got…

I want to be back in the ring…back with Shawn.

"Take it easy"

If he call me "Champ" one more time I'm gonna ram his stethoscope where the sun don't shine…it's really annoying… Ric is only allowed to call me that because it means something coming from your hero… it's like the passing of a torch…anybody else? It's annoying…simple as…God the two bitches are gonna pay for this… seriously pay…

Man I miss him… this aint fair!

In fact I'm gonna crazy without him… this is maddening…

He doesn't like me honestly…to him I'm just his best friend… and nothing more…

But me? I love him… he's great…he's strong, sexy and has a wicked sense of humour… he has a kind soul…a loyal soul… he's beautiful… there is no other word…

He's gorgeous… his grey/green eyes have a wicked glint… his face shows so much… and he's never afraid to show what he feels…his lips. Perfect. Body? Do I need to stress how hot he is?

He's my Honey and I can't do without him.

Still like I said… he doesn't even like me that way…

So…all that leaves is that…Those bitches are so gonna pay ten fold!

Wait till I get hold of them…just wait.

JUST WAIT!

Let love not cause me pain… Oh let love seem like a dream… my one regret…what I can't forget… oh don't let love cause you pain. Let beauty blind my vision…oh let it move me till I die…and the seeds of despair…all these fruits I share…let your beauty blind my vision.
