My Brother's Keeper
Introduction
Shawn's POV, "Twenty years ago five men met for the first time and created a bond that could never be broken. But now things have changed and we've all grown up into fathers and husbands. But we still have that strong bond, not only as friends but as brothers. This is the story how we almost fell apart at the seams and realized that if we don't learn how to forgive each other for the past that it could cost us more than a twenty year friendship but one of our friends lives as well." As Shawn looked over at his best friend, he realized how he ended up in the hospital.
Shawn was in tears as he knew that this whole thing was his fault. Paul was caught in the line of fire, and was forced to choose who his friends were. Shawn held his head in his hands as he thought about how they ended up here. It all started about two months ago, it was a week before Wrestlemania and Paul was trying hard to choose who to induct him into the hall of fame. Shawn had already asked to be the person to do it, since Paul had inducted him a few years ago. But Paul was trying hard to choose between Shawn and Kevin two men who were very close to him. They all had known each other for so long, they were practically brothers.
So finally Paul decided to tell them who he had chosen, so he thought he should tell them over lunch after the press conference. They decided to eat at Joe's Diner, as they took a seat at a booth, Paul thought about how Kevin would react when he told him that he had chosen Shawn to be the one to induct him into the hall of fame.
"So Paul who did you choose?" Kevin asked him smiling big. Paul took a deep breath and smiled back, Kevin was like an older brother to him since him and Sean were the youngest in the group. Kevin took them both under his wing after Shawn had to leave for personal reasons. He treated them both like brothers and was always there for them no matter what. Even when he and Shawn had that huge fight after the Montreal screw job, Kevin was the one who stood up for him in his defense. But in the end he had known Shawn a lot longer and after they made up and talked, they're friendship became stronger.
Finally coming out of his thoughts Paul nodded, "Yeah I made my choice and it's Shawn!" Paul told him. "Really?" Shawn asked. Paul nodded, "Yeah! I want you to induct me into the hall of fame Saturday would you do the honor of doing that for me?" Paul asked him. Shawn nodded, "Yes I would love to do that buddy!" Shawn told him smiling.
Paul nodded as he looked over at Kevin who was still quiet, "Are you okay about me choosing Shawn instead of you big Kev?" Paul asked the big man. Without saying a word Kevin nodded as their lunch came. Paul and Shawn talked about what Shawn would say in his introduction speech, while Kevin just watched with hate in his eyes but made sure his friends didn't notice.
After they ate Paul paid the bill and headed towards the arena. They walked outside to the car, but stopped when they noticed Kevin was still quiet! "Kevin are you sure you're okay with this?" Paul asked him. Kevin avoided eye contact, out of all of them Paul was the only one who knew when Kevin was lying to them.
Kevin just looked at him and smiled, "Yeah buddy! I'm fine really, I'm happy for you! Shawn was a good choice!" Kevin told him walking away from him.
"Wait where are you going? We rode here together." Shawn asked him. "I'll walk! I need the exercise, I'll meet you two at the arena!" Kevin told them leaving. Shawn looked over at Paul, who shrugged. "He'll be fine! Come on let's go!" Paul told him getting into the hummer. Shawn nodded as he looked back once more at Kevin and got into the passenger side.
Awhile later Paul and Shawn had just arrived at the arena, where their wives met them at the door. "Hey boys! Where's Kevin?" Stephanie asked them. Paul looked over at Shawn, then back at his wife, "He decided to walk back, he should be here in a few minutes." Paul told her. Stephanie looked at him confused and so did Rebecca, "Really? That's two blocks!" She told him. Rebecca nodded, "Yeah what would make him walk in this weather?" Rebecca asked him.
Paul shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, he claimed he needed the exercise." He told them. "Oh okay then, well who did you choose to induct you into the hall of fame?" Steph asked him. "Shawn!" He told her. "Wow that's great news, just try not to make him cry Shawn when you do the speech!" Rebecca told her husband.
Shawn nodded smiling, "Don't worry, I won't!" He told her.
