Remembering them

AN: Before I begin this, I only ask that everyone who reads this takes a moment of silence in memory of Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit.

...

Thank you. This will be from Dean Malenko's point of view. This chapter takes place two days before Eddie Guerrero's death on November 13, 2005. This is also a request from .98.

Also I do not own any Names, songs, or anything like that. The song "Over and Over" is by three days grace and The song "Hurt" is by Johnny Cash.

RIP Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit.

DEAN'S POV (Friday November 11, 2005)

I sat in my own locker room. I was tired and beaten. I just won a match and I was sweating. I never had to fight like that in my whole life. I couldn't even remember who I had the match with, I was beaten so bad. I packed my bags and throw them in a corner. I was about to go and take a nice hot shower but there was a knock at the door

"Come in!" I yelled as I sat down on a nearby bench. I looked at the door. My good friend, Eddie Guerrero, walked in and smiled at me. I smiled back but I couldn't shake the feeling...

"Hey, Dean!" Eddie yelled happily. I just smiled like I didn't think anything was wrong.

"Hey,Eddie. What's up?" I asked as happily as Eddie was.

"Nothing. Oh, And I saw your match with Scott Hall. You did great, Man." Eddie stated. "The way you ended the match with a Boston Crab, Wow just wow."

"Thanks dude. So what you doing tonight?" I questioned my friend. Eddie just shrugged.

"I don't know, Man. How about we go out for a drink?" Eddie questioned. I shook my head no.

"No thanks, Eddie. That stuff ain't good for you." I stated. "Eddie, maybe you should just go home to Vicki and relex."

"Yeah, I guess." Eddie told me. He turned to leave but I stopped him.

"Hey,Eddie, wait a second." I yelled. Eddie stopped and looked back to me. "Are...You alright?"

"Yeah never better." Eddie told me and walked out of my locker room. I shook my head. I knew he wasn't okay. Something was wrong and I knew it beacuse Vicki came to me and asked me to look over him. She said that she was acting out of character.

I sighed. I had to watch over my friend. Starting today I was going to watch over my friend. I took my shower, changed, and went back to the hotel.

(Saturday November 12,2005)

Ever since Vicki called me about Eddie, I been talking with Chavo alot more lately. Since I couldn't be with Eddie all the time, Chavo looks after him aswell.

Today, Chavo came to me and gave me a small update. He said that Eddie was working on Cardiovascular exercises every day as of late. Also he told me to try to get Eddie to see a doctor. I agreed and called Eddie, Telling him to meet me in the park. I was there for about an hour before Eddie got there.

"Hey Eddie!" I yelled happily. I was glad here came, I needed to talk to him.

"Hey. So what's up?" Eddie asked. He sat down on a bench and looked up at me.

"We really need to talk." I stated, getting serious. I sat down next Eddie and Sighed. Eddie raised an eyebrow. He looked really confused.

"You're not breaking up with me, are you." Eddie joked. It was just like him to try to lighten the mood with a joke like that. But this wasn't a joking matter, this was serious.

"Eddie. This isn't a joking matter. I what I need to talk to you about is that your family is worried about. I am too. You been acting out of character lately and it's scaring Vicki. She asked me to make sure you're okay and to get you to go to see a doctor." I confessed to Eddie, who was shocked.

"Dean, I'm fine. There is no need to worry about me. I don't need to see a doctor. You don't need to look after me. I am fine." Eddie stated. Eddie got up from the bench and walked away not saying another word. I sighed and digged in my pocket for my cellphone. I found it after a second or two. I called Vicki.

"Hello?"

"Vicki, It's me Dean."

"Hello, Dean. Please tell me that you got Eddie to see someone."

"Sorry. I tried and Eddie just said "Don't worry" walked off."

"Oh dear. *pause* Hold on Dean, I'm getting another call."

I wait for about ten minutes. Vicki must have been talking to Eddie or Chavo or a Mcmahon. One of the three. I just hope it was Eddie or Chavo.

"Dean?"

"Yeah Vicki."

"That was Chavo. He said don't worry about Eddie because He's with him."

"Alright. But Vicki, I have one question."

"What is it?"

"When did Eddie start acting this way?"

"I just picked it up this week. He didn't seem as healthy as he always is."

"Okay Vicki, I'll try again tomorrow, If I don't see him again today."

"Thank you. Goodbye."

"Bye."

I hung up and put my cell phone in my back pocket. I sighed. I had no Idea what to do. Maybe I just need to sit here and think about everything.

"I feel it everyday it's all the same. It brings me down but I'm the one to blame"

I pulled out my cellphone again. And just to my luck, Vince Mcmahon was the one calling. I could answer it or I could let it ring. I need my job so I answered the phone. I stayed on the thing for three hours talking about my matches and job. Plus I had to have a one on one meeting with Vince tomorrow.

After I got off the phone. I went back to my room and called Chavo. I told him to watch Eddie for the rest of today and all of tomorrow because I had a meeting with Vince that starts at 3:00 am. Chavo said he understands and that he would do it. After my talk with Chavo ended. I layed down to take a nap so I could be up early and be there on time, Because like Vince would say if I was late "Time is Money!".

(Sunday November 13,2005)

I woke up, Took a shower, got dressed and headed to WWE HQ. I had to Meet Vince to today and I was 20 minutes early. I took the elevator up to the tenth floor. I walked down hall to Vince Office. I walked inside and I was five minutes early, and to Vince that was a big deal.

"Hello, Sir." I said, standing up because Vince didn't say I could sit down. Okay our boss is a bit crazy but I need my job, I got a family to feed.

"Malenko, Your five minutes early. I like that. Sit down please." Vince told me. I sat down like he asked. For the whole day we sat there talking about the rookies, My matches, and looking at numbers. By the time we were down, It was time for me to get to the arena. I left and rode down there. I didn't have to stop because I had my Ring gear in the back seat of my car. By the Time i got there i only had ten minutes to change and get ready. After I had change I rushed and left all my other stuff in my locker room.

After my match had ended I came back to my locker room. I grabed my cell phone. I had three missed calls and a text message. I looked at the missed calls first. They were all from Chavo. Then I looked at the Text.

The text said: "Dean! Dean, Where are you? I sent Eddie to Vicki because Vince needed me. I just called Vicki and she said she hadn't seen him. Do you know where he is?". It was from Chavo.

I called Chavo right away. Chavo answered the phone and in the background I heard Vicki crying. Chavo told me they were at the hospital. Chavo also said Eddie was gone. I dropped my cell phone and fell to my knees. It was my fault. I could have forced Eddie to go see a doctor. I could have told Vince that I needed to leave early. I could of done something.

I picked up my phone and told Chavo and Vicki was so sorry for their loss. Vicki thanked me for caring and told me she would called me later about the funeral. Vicki cryed even harder after see said the word "Funeral.". I felt even worst about ever thing. I told Vicki was sorry once more and we said our Goodbyes. I hung up and throw my phone across the room. I was never gonna forget Eduardo Gory Guerrero Llanes, I was alway going to remember him.

AN: That's the end of my chapter one. Next is going about Chris Benoit. I know about the way him and his family died and I won't be speaking on that in great detail but I will speak more on how they lived to show repect.
