…let me lose my voice, singing all my favorite songs
"If today's the day I die…" Cody Rhodes read in his mind. He stared at the piece of paper in front of him and shook his head. The paper was just handed to him by one random guy and Cody took it without even looking at it. He crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash bin.
"Hey Cody." his best friend, Megan Williams, greeted as she barged in his locker room.
"Hey, you're not supposed to be barging in some other people's locker room!" he reminded her.
"Sorry. But I just wanted to ask you something." the half-Filipina replied with a chuckle as she wore a smile on her face.
"What?" he asked.
"If today's the day you die, what would you do?" she asked the Georgia-native. Cody let out a sigh and asked his female friend, "You got that piece of paper, too. Didn't you?"
Megan nodded and smiled. "It's interesting, you know. I mean, your mind gets going because of these kinds of questions." she said to the older one.
Cody did not say anything and just stormed out of his locker room. As he got out, he immediately thought of the question. He got in his car and turned on the stereo. He did not bother to change the station, he just let it be. Suddenly, a song played on the radio.
Get out your guns, battle's begun
Are you a saint or a sinner?
If love's a fight then I shall die
With my heart on the trigger
He found himself humming to the tune and tapping his finger on the steering wheel. He got the car key from his jean pocket and started the ignition. He drove out of the arena's parking lot and made his way back to the hotel. All of a sudden, he felt his phone vibrate.
"So, have you thought of it?" Megan asked as soon as Cody picked up.
"I guess I have." Cody replied.
…let me stare up at the stars, 'cause it's where we all belong
Nick Nemeth, a.k.a. Dolph Ziggler let out a sigh as he reached backstage. He had barely thirty minutes to prepare for his date later tonight. He hurriedly ran to his locker room and took a shower immediately. As he was taking a shower, he heard his phone blast off the familiar ringtone. He finished off and grabbed his towel and then wrapped it around his waist. He finally picked up and said, "Babe, hello."
"Nick, where are you?" his girlfriend, Sienna Williams asked. He was a bit surprised that she's still calm despite Nick's tardiness.
"Still in the arena, babe. Hold on. I'm very sorry. It's just that, the match went on too long. I'll pick you up. Okay?"
"Okay babe. Love you."
"Love you too." Nick hung up and changed into a black shirt and designer jeans. He laced up his shoes and dashed out of his locker room, bag in hand. He got in his rental car and drove to her girlfriend's house.
Minutes later…
Nick clenched his fist and knocked on the wooden door. The door opened and Sienna, who was wearing a black mini-dress and black pumps, came into sight. "You look beautiful, babe." Nick leaned closer as he admired the lady in front of him. Sienna blushed and took Nick by the hand.
"On second thought, I don't wanna go out." Sienna blurted out.
Nick raised a brow, signifying her to continue. "I mean, I don't want to go somewhere fancy." she continued.
"Oh, I thought you did not want to go out because I was a bit late." Nick said, quoting what he said in his head. Sienna chuckled and pulled Nick inside. She led him to the back door that led to the garden. As they reached the garden, Nick asked, "What are we going to do?"
"I don't know. Maybe lay on the grass?" Sienna suggested.
"Grass sounds good." Nick agreed. Sienna took off her pumps and made the first move. Nick followed soon after.
"So, why didn't you want to go out?" Nick asked as he placed his hands under his head.
Sienna thought of it for a while. Her lips curved into a smile as she did so. Without turning her head, she replied "I just want to admire the stars."
Nick smiled as she said so, basically because his girlfriend has always a new idea of a date. Most of the girls he had been with always thought of a date as a moment in a fancy restaurant and him giving her a kiss on the cheeks, and another moment in God-knows-where. With Sienna, it was always different. Who in the world has thought of participating in a drag racing event for a date? Sienna did.
"Why do you admire stars so much?" he decided to ask.
"They're beautiful." Sienna immediately replied as her eyes were set on the twinkling dots of light that were up in the sky. "And it's where we all belong. You see that star right there?" she pointed a finger at one of those millions that were up in the night sky. "That's you. Heck, every star up there reminds me of you. So every time you're not here, I just look at those and just think of you."
Sorry for the length of this chapter. Next chapter's gonna be focused on the next stanza after the song's chorus so just review and suggest which superstars I should use on the next. Please review. (:
