I sat at home in my wheelchair and looked around me, I realized that it would be a long time until I would return to the ring, and there was only one person who I could count on to be there for me and comfort me. I called up Candice and she had rushed over, she had told me before that she knew it was too dangerous for me to be in the ring again, because of my back.
You see, Candice and I, we've been friends since we were kids, she and I even went out for a while, but that ended because of her father, Vince getting in the way, but we're still best friends, and whenever we need each other, we're there for one another, and she was there for me when I was being carried out of the arena in the stretcher, she was in the hospital by my side, after what Hunter had done to me.
Candice knocked on the door and I quickly unlocked it, she opened the door, shut it behind her and gave me a hug, "Doing any better Shawn?" she asked me with a sweet smile, she always had a great smile. I nodded a bit, "Yea, could be better, but then again, things just got better now that your here" I gave her a warm smile and we went into the living room.
"Shawn, after what HHH did to you, I am so close to wanting to go out on RAW and challenge him myself, I want to get my hands on him and just..." I took her by the hand, "Don't worry about it, whats going on with Hunter and I, that's between him and me, it has nothing to do with you" I reassured her. She looked off to the side, "Shawn, I wish there was something I could do to help you" her blue eyes light up and she sighed, "Candice, nothing could make me happier then for you to accompany me for a while" "How about when you start to get better then I can help you train so you can get back into that ring and end HHH's career for good" she smirked, I could see how her and her sister resemble each other now and then, they both smirk the same way and they both have that look in their eyes when they crave revenge, and I know Candice wants revenge on Hunter. She cared about me deeply, and I have never cared about anyone as much as her other then Hunter.
"Candice, would you mind staying here for a while, you don't have to, but I could really use the company and like you said, I know this may sound pathetic, but when I am able to get out of this wheelchair I want you to help me, because your the only one I can trust" I smiled. She thought for a moment then spoke, "Alright Shawn, I'll stay with you until your all healed up and ready to go back" she stood up and then I watched as she headed for the door, "I just need to get a few things and then I'll be back" with that she left to go home and get her clothes, etc. And when she came back, she was prepared to help me through my rehabilitation.
*--------* 6 months later *--------*
I couldn't believe it had already been 6 months! Since Candice worked for her sister, Stephanie, she explained to Steph about how she wanted to help me through rehab, and Steph agreed reluctantly, since Candice was one of the top divas in her fed. Candice had done a lot for me the past 6 months, she had reminded me to take my pain pill/medication that would help me heal faster, she would even give me a massage now and then. Which I was very thankful for. I am finally able to walk now, even though it's difficult, and Candice has been helping with whatever she could do possible.
Candice walked over to me, "Ok, time for our walking exercises." she smiled, I shook my head, "Not today." she gave me a look of concern, "are you alright?" she asked, "yea, I'm fine, I just don't feel like doing the exercises today" I said in an annoyed tone. "Shawn, you don't have to be all bitchy about it. God. I just wanted to help you" she said getting a little frustrated herself. "If you want to help me then go away" I said. She looked at me with a hurtful expression, "Fine!" she said then ran upstairs to her bedroom. "Candice!" I called out, "Candice, look, I'm sorry! I'm just not in a good mood today" I explained. I heard the shower running and thought maybe she hadn't heard me since she was getting ready for bed, it was around 9:30 on a Tuesday, but she usually doesn't go to sleep until 11. I tried to stand up but I felt a great deal of pain.
I felt so bad for yelling at Candice, I didn't want to hurt her feelings, I know how sensitive she is. I pretty much had to drag myself up the stairs until I had finally reached the door, I threw myself onto the chair and sat down for a moment feeling a sharp pain throughout my back. Candice walked out in a towel and she ran over to me, "Shawn! What the hell were you thinking? You weren't suppose to be going up the stairs for about 4 more months!" she shrieked. I looked up at her, "I had to apologize for earlier. I felt really bad about yelling at you, I know you were only trying to help, and I'm sorry." I said holding my back in pain. She helped me over to the bed and helped me lay down, she didn't even want to bother trying to help me down that stairs, knowing that I would just hurt myself. She walked over to her dresser and put on her night gown, I looked over at her not being able to help myself I looked her up and down a bit until she turned around, she walked over to me and sat by my side, "Shawn, you didn't have to drag yourself all the way up here just to apologize." she said in a calm tone. I pulled her down towards me until she was laying next to me, I stroked her cheek and smiled, "I never want to hurt you Candice" I whispered.
I pulled her into a hug then as we were cheek to cheek she softly pulled away, I put one arm around her waist gently then kissed her intensely. As we broke the kiss she looked into my eyes, "Shawn, I thought you didn't..." I kissed her gently on the lips this time then looked into her eyes, "I have always had feelings for you Candice, I've been in love with you since I meet you!" I explained with a coy smile. "Shawn, we've known each other since the first grade!" she laughed. "yea, well, you were he only girl who I would ever chase around the playground" I laughed a little myself after tellin her that, she just smiled, "Shawn, your so amusing its ridiculous." she laughed. I playfully kissed her again, this time passionately, wanting to show her how much she means to me. She helped me take off my shirt and shorts, revealing my heart boxers and at first we playfully kissed, I would kiss everything on her- her nose, her lips, her neck, her shoulder blade, you name it, I kissed it. She was so giggly that it was just too adorable to miss. Her long brown hair flowed down past her shoulders as I began to slip off her nightgown. After I threw it on the floor I scanned her body with my eyes and smirked. "What is it?" she asked in a soft tone, wondering if something was wrong with her, "Nothing, your just so perfect" I smiled, before kissing her once more. I pulled the sheet over us then took off my boxers, revealing my huge erection, then I slide with complete ease into her womanhood, making her moan with delight as I rocked back and forth gently, "Shawn......" she moaned gently, "I love you Candice..." I said, before kissing her soft lips. "I love you too" she replied with a hungry smile. I still felt a lot of pain in my back, but I was too wrapped up in the pleasure I was feeling right now to even think about my pain, everything seemed to be going right.
*-The Next Morning-*
When I woke up it was 7am, my back ached horribly, I looked over to the side of me and Candice wasn't there then I sat up and groaned in pain, I heard footsteps coming from downstairs, running up to where I am; Candice opened the door and rushed up to me with a glass of milk and my medication. I smiled and took the pill then drank it down with the orange juice. She sat next to me and looked out at the window, I scooted closer to her and wrapped my arms around her, I kissed her shoulder then let go of her for a minute, I reached into my dresser and pulled out the ring I have been wanting to give to her for a long time. She turned to me and saw the ring, I placed it on her finger and smiled, "Candice, will you marry me?"
She paused for a moment and thought about it, then nodded, "yes, Shawn, I will marry you" a tear rolled down her cheek. I placed the ring all the way on her finger then we embraced, I pulled her on top of me and kissed her neck, biting it playfully and rubbing her hips gently. She helped me up and attempted to help me downstairs, onto my wheelchair then we went to my training room. The next 7 months were hard, but it got easier for me to walk, even run, and it's all because of Candice, if it weren't for her, I would be screwed, I wouldn't even be able to show my face at the WWE arena ever again. I still have about 3 more months before I'm able to wrestle again, but I've been training hard, and I'm able to uh, do stuff more often if ya know what I mean. Jr laughed a bit then smiled, "Well, I can't wait to see you back Shawn, and I hope that you and Candice are happy together." JR shook my hand, the interview was over, Candice stood up and shook his hand also and then she turned to me, "By the way Shawn, I'm pregnant."
