Confusion and Hurt
The Undertaker's love is tested.
Don't worry Kane, it'll be over
soon.
Those had been the last words Marcus
remembered saying... Don't worry Kane, it'll be over soon. Marcus
shifted his weight in the hospital bed uncomfortably, the bright rays of
the early morning sun entered the hospital room, waiting for Marcus to
open his eyes; As if on cue, a few seconds later, Marcus opened his eyes
slowly, he winced when he felt the bright sun light burn into his eyes,
he brought up his hand and shielded his eyes from the light, once his eyes
were comfortable to the lighting, Marcus removed his hand. Where was he?
Marcus tried to push himself up, but he stopped abruptly when he felt a
horrible pain throbbing throughout his whole back...
Triple H and Stone Cold Steve
Austin...
It was all coming back to him now,
his match... Kane's betrayal... him rushing out to protect Kane... Stone
Cold beating him with that damn chair...
Where's Kane?
Marcus, despite the pain in his back,
pushed himself up and looked around the hospital room, Kane was nowhere
to be found... probably in a different hospital room, Marcus thought
to himself. Marcus threw his legs over the hospital bed, he took in a few
deeps breaths and pushed himself out of the hospital bed, he grabbed a
robe and put it on over the hospital clothes; Marcus slowly walked to the
hospital room door and was about to walk out, but a doctor rushed up to
Marcus.
"No sir, you have to go back in the
bed, you shouldn't be up."
Marcus shook his head, and for the
first time felt the throbbing in his head.
Concussion, shit I wonder how
bad Kane got hurt...
"I have to see my brother Kane..."
The doctor shook his head and tried
to guide Marcus back to the hospital bed, but Marcus wrapped his hand around
the doctor's throat and lifted him up in the air, Marcus took in a deep
breath, and threw the doctor against the wall.
"Did you not hear me? I said I have
to see my brother Kane! Now where is he?"
Marcus let the doctor down and watched
him fall on the floor with a thud; Marcus waited for the doctor to tell
him where Kane was, but after a few minutes of silence, Marcus felt his
patience wearing thin.
"You think you know what pain is
right now? You'll have every clue what kind of pain I am capable of if
you don't tell me what hospital room my little brother is in."
The middle aged doctor wretched
in pain, but then he froze up when he saw the deadly look in Marcus's eyes,
he had heard stories about the two wrestlers, he had heard stories about
the brothers of destruction.
"Room 113..."
Marcus nodded and walked off, leaving
the injured doctor behind.
Room 113.
Marcus looked at the hospital room
number, he pushed his hair back and pushed the door open, he hesitated
for a second but then entered the hospital room, slowly. His eyes automatically
bounced over to where Kane was, Kane was lying in his hospital bed, his
mask was off. Marcus walked further into the room quietly, trying not to
wake Kane up, right now all he wanted to do was watch Kane sleep, he really
didn't feel like talking to Kane.
"Marcus?"
Marcus hissed underneath his breath
and walked all the way over to Kane's hospital bed and stared down at Kane.
Most of Kane's face was covered with his hair but even with all his hair
covering his face, Marcus could still see the scars, Marcus stared at them
for a second but then let out a cough.
"Yeah, I'm right here Kane. How
do you feel?"
Kane pushed himself up groggily
and groaned at the pain, he looked at Marcus and suddenly Kane remembered
why him and Marcus were in the hospital.
"Not to good, but I'll live."
Marcus nodded, absently.
"Don't you always?"
Kane nodded, but then instantly
regretted it once he felt the pain in his neck.
"Kane..."
Kane looked up at Marcus once he
heard his brother's voice, Kane looked into Marcus's eyes and saw the confusion
in his older brother's eyes, and along with the confusion there was hurt.
Kane wanted to lower his eyes but didn't because of the pain in his neck,
but the burning intensity in Marcus's eyes was getting to him.
"Yes?"
Marcus shook his head, remembering
where he was, and that Kane was in front of him, he had sort of blacked
out there for a second, Marcus sighed and sat down in a chair that was
next to Kane's hospital bed.
"Why?"
Why?
Kane had expected that much from
Marcus, Kane had wondered why he had done the things he did, he didn't
know how to answer Marcus's question. When Triple H and Stone Cold had
came to him and told him that Marcus was planning to betray him, for some
reason Kane had believed every word.
"I don't know."
Marcus sighed, he had expected to
get more of an elaborate answer from Kane. No he didn't expect, he needed
a more elaborate answer from Kane, he deserved that much.
"You don't know? How can you say
that to me Kane? 4 months Kane and then out of the blue you betray me like
this? Why did you even listen to Triple H and Stone Cold in the first place?"
Kane looked around, as if trying
to find a way out of this conversation, but there was no way out of this
one.
"I guess I'm just as stupid as everyone
says I am."
Both Kane and Marcus knew that was
a lie, Kane wasn't dumb, he never was.
"Don't bullshit me! You know you're
not dumb, so don't pull that shit with me. Just answer me straight."
Kane stared into Marcus's eyes.
"Because I believed it. You've betrayed
me before."
You've betrayed me before.
The words had came out of Kane's
mouth so coldly, the words had no compassion in them, just... no it wasn't
hatred... but more like sadness. The words out of Kane's mouth had such
a sadness to it, that it made Marcus want to drop the conversation, but
he couldn't... no he wouldn't drop the conversation. He needed to know
why Kane had believed the words, the lies, so easily, Kane wasn't dumb...
could Kane really believe that Marcus would so easily betray him? Was Kane
really that trusting? And if he was THAT trusting then why couldn't he
trust Marcus?
"That was before."
Marcus stated simply.
"I know."
Marcus pulled his chair closer to
Kane.
"Do you? Do you really know that
Kane? Because I don't think you do, I don't think you ever knew that. Because
if you did, then you would have never betrayed me, do you really think
that worse of me?"
Kane shook his head.
"I- It's complicated."
Marcus shook his head.
"Not that complicated. I'm your
brother and you don't trust me."
Kane pushed his hair back.
"Do you blame me?"
If Marcus hadn't been so determined
in reaching Kane, he would have been taken back by Kane's last comment.
"The past is the past Kane."
Kane swallowed.
"And the past always repeats itself."
Marcus slammed his fist down on
the table next to the hospital bed.
"Not this time damn it! I've worked
very hard to gain your trust back, and you just proved to me that everything
I have done in the past 4 months, have been worth nothing."
Kane bit down on his lip.
"No not worth nothing, it was worth
something..."
Marcus softened his gaze.
"Then why?"
Kane sighed.
"I-- I was wrong."
Marcus took in a deep breath.
"I don't know if you love me or
hate me more."
Kane lowered his eyes finally.
"Neither do I."
Marcus pushed his chair back at
Kane's words.
Neither do I.
He had survived a lot of Kane's words
before, but Kane's last words were the worst. They had felt like
someone was punching Marcus in the stomach, and as hard Marcus tried to
fight back against the attack, he couldn't. The words, those 3 little words,
were so powerful, and they had so much confusion in them but yet at the
same time, so much determination.
It was painfully obvious now... Kane
didn't trust him.
"Too bad little brother, too bad."
Marcus got up from the chair and
walked out of the hospital room sadly.
