Summary: Claudio leaves for WWE, but where does that leave Chris?
You might think I was being selfish or childish in my actions, but I wasn't. I've pouted and screamed and sulked more times than I can remember in your presence, but I only ever did it to get your attention. Oh sure I might have been doing it partly for the crowd's heat, but I always knew you'd comfort me if I did it. We were partners, at one time we held three sets of belts around our waists and over our shoulders. We were a team.
"Go get 'em, Chris," You'd say in my ear and I was ready.
"Don't worry about it, we all lose. They're cheaters anyway," You'd reassure me like you were talking to a toddler. I could have been offended, but I saw the way your features softened when I was around, and I knew you weren't doing it on purpose.Because somehow whenever you were around I lost my hard exterior, I was no longer the big mouthed trash talking heel I played every night in the ring. I was yours, and I had no need for that attitude around you because you truly knew me. Your arms would envelope me and I'd simply lean into your broad chest, forgetting speech for the one moment to let my heart decide my actions.
"You know I'd never leave you, Chris." You'd whisper into my hair,closing your eyes for a moment.
I'd just smile and nod. I don't know why you always felt you needed to tell me that. I was content in the moment, and I knew we'd be together.
You are standing in front of me, just like any other time, but this time my heart is breaking. I could feel it, as soon as those words left your lips. My stomach lurched, my heart sank, my mouth went dry and all I could do was look at you, pleading with you silently. Let this be a joke, oh god please let this be a joke. Your eyes told me the truth though, as much as I wanted to deny it.
"I'm sorry...Chris I'm really sorry...but-"
Your explanation faded into the background as my eyes stung. You're sorry. No, no you're not sorry. If you were feeling that bad you wouldn't be doing this in the first place would you? You wouldn't be doing this to me. To us. I don't care if you call me selfish, because that's what I am. You're mine and I'm yours, and you never said it would be any other way and I believed you. You belong to me, I don't want you to go. I don't want them to have you.
You can call me childish. But you look in my eyes and see I'm still the only one for you. Please. Please don't go. Please don't..Leave me here. Alone. I love you.
Claudio...
