Stephanie shut the wooden door behind
her; she dropped her black duffel bag in front of the door, as she made
her way into the living room. If she wasn't in such a horrible mood because
of how things went between her and Kurt, she would find it funny that Shane
still came here for the summer. When they had been little kids Vince and
Linda had always brought them to this cabin, and now here they were 20
something years later and Shane was still going to the same cabin. "I intend
to." Stephanie said, as she walked into the furnished kitchen. Stephanie
looked around the cabin; it had a feel to... a homey feel to it. She had
always loved this place when she had been a little girl, her and Shane
would spend hours sitting in front of the fireplace telling each other
stories of the future that they would make up on the top of their heads
while Vince read a book and Linda cooked.
Shane shook his head at his sister's
odd behavior, in the car she had been quiet as a mouse and now she was
miss observe everything. "Marissa will be sorry she missed you, she went
home for the winter, her father has come down with an illness and she had
to fly home right away."
Stephanie tore herself away from
all of her thoughts and smiled sadly at Shane. "Oh that is horrible, I
hope everything will turn out okay."
Shane nodded. "They always do in
her family, it's our family that tends to not get better." Shane walked
into the kitchen, brushing past Stephanie slightly as he made his way over
to the cream colored refrigerator, he grabbed a can of Pepsi and popped
the top open.
"True, our family is quite different
from everybody else." Stephanie commented, as she grabbed a can of Pepsi
as well, she popped the top open and took a sip. "We stab each other in
the back, lie to one another... it's just one whole scandal after another
in the McMahon family."
Shane looked at Stephanie intently,
hearing the truth in Stephanie's sarcasm. It was horrible in their family;
their family hurt each other day after day and felt no remorse afterwards.
That was how the McMahon family worked, they hurt each other and didn't
offer no apology afterwards, because remorse wasn't something that they
felt. Shane hadn't been able to feel remorse towards anything until recently,
but now he felt more remorse then he thought he could bear; He felt remorse
for not reaching out to Stephanie sooner, he felt remorse for letting the
distance tear them apart, he felt remorse for not being the older brother
he was born to be. But most of all he felt remorse for letting himself
believe the lies Stephanie told him, all the times he had called her over
the phone and swore he had heard her crying and when she said it was nothing...
he felt remorse for believing it. He felt remorse for letting himself think
that the makeup and the screeching was who Stephanie was... Stephanie wasn't
the screeching princess in the ring, Stephanie was just Stephanie. She
had a feel to her, there was just something about her.
"You can go change in your bed clothes
or whatever in the bathroom, it's pretty late, the drive took longer then
I had expected it to." Shane pointed towards the bathroom.
"I know where the bathroom is Shane,
I used to come here in the summer too you know?" Stephanie walked over
and grabbed her black duffel bag.
"I thought you would have forgotten,"
Shane said quietly, he hadn't really expected to say the words, he was
just thinking them.
Stephanie turned around, once she
heard Shane's soft voice, she was already halfway to the bathroom when
Shane's voice entered her head. "How could I forget?" Stephanie asked,
her voice just as quiet as Shane's had been.
Shane shook his head, taking a sip
of his soda. "You and Hunter go to a lot of places, real expensive and
fancy places, why would a stupid cabin be planted in your memory?" Shane
closed his eyes.
"It's not stupid, I spent my life
here..." Stephanie sighed and walked into the bathroom leaving Shane alone
in the living room of the cabin.
[ Raw Is War Arena – Tulsa, Oklahoma
]
Andrew paced back and forth in his
locker-room, his long blonde hair slicked back in a ponytail, his eyebrows
knitted in concentration. He was already in his ring gear, but his mind
was nowhere ready for the match he would have to fight tonight. Tonight
Andrew was going to have to fight Albert in a table match; it was declared
Vince had it in for him. Vince fully knew the history between Albert and
Andrew and he knew that this would bring up bad memories, and Andrew knew
for a fact that was why Vince was doing it.
Albert had at one time been Andrew's
friend... but that was before he had betrayed him. Andrew had never seen
the betrayal coming, but of course he never did see the betrayals coming.
First it had been Stephanie, and then once he thought he was in the cool
zone, safe from any surprises, he had gotten the shit beat out of him by
Albert and Trish's betrayal followed shortly behind Albert's.
Andrew was sick of this... why was
he the one that always got hurt by the people he cared about? Andrew had
never asked to be the target of everybody's betrayals, but somehow he was...
"You're up Test." A crewman said,
walking past Andrew's room.
Andrew nodded, grabbing his black
tanktop, he slipped it over his head as he walked out the door and towards
the ring. He didn't want to fight Albert tonight but that didn't mean he
wouldn't... and WHEN he won tonight, he would have to make a mental
note to throw it in Vince's face.
[ Hunter's Locker-room ]
Hunter paced in his locker-room,
his eyes with a determined look in them, he had just gotten the news from
Vince that Test was matched up to be in a table match against Albert.
This was the perfect time to prove
to Vince that he was mature enough to continue be the man that would make
Stephanie happy. Vince wanted the war between him and Andrew to stop before
Stephanie could come back, and tonight would be the first step to stop
the war. Hunter didn't like Andrew, but to get Stephanie back he would
have to make some sacrifices... plus what Andrew had said to him had freaked
him out.
Was Stephanie going to leave him?
God Hunter couldn't even begin to
imagine his life without Stephanie. Hunter, despite what everybody said
about him had fallen for Stephanie McMahon. So in a way Hunter was exactly
like Andrew, both of them loved her, hell both of them still love her...
now it was just up to which one she would choose.
Hunter had a feeling that he wouldn't
be the one walking away with Stephanie. Hunter had the horrible feeling
that Andrew's feelings for Stephanie weren't totally one sided. Was Andrew
right? Was Hunter just the revenge guy? Was Andrew the guy she loved? Was
Andrew the guy she still loves?
"Shit," Hunter hissed out underneath
his breath, he picked up his jacket and ran out of his locker-room, his
plan was already late in happening already.
[ Back at the cabin ]
Shane looked up when he heard footsteps
coming out of the bathroom, but what he saw took his breath away. It was
Stephanie, but without all the makeup. She was wearing a football jersey
shirt and sweatpants, her brown hair was in a ponytail... she looked stunning,
she finally looked like his little sister.
"What do I look awful?" Stephanie
asked looking down at her clothes. "Not Armani I know but we're in the
middle of the forest in a cabin we haven't been to since we were 16, so
I thought fancy lingerie was a big no since you're my brother and all."
Stephanie smiled, walking over to where Shane was; she sat down next to
him.
"Well thank you for the consideration,
I would feel a little uncomfortable." Shane smirked, turning to her. "You
look beautiful."
Stephanie blushed, playing with a
loose strand of her hair, which had fallen out of her ponytail. "Thanks
for whisking me off and bringing me here, it's just what I needed. Things
are so bad lately, the Hunter and Andrew thing and then what happened between
me and Kurt..."
"Which was?" Shane asked, smiling.
"Kurt came to me, telling me how
Hunter was all bad for me and how I deserved better and I turned on him.
I think I really hurt his feelings, he told me when I got back not even
to bother calling him. Not being friends with Kurt feels bad, Kurt has
been my best friend when I needed one... he brings a lot of sanity in my
life, even though at one time he had tried to break my marriage apart.
Kurt is my best friend, and I think I lost him... because of Hunter." Stephanie
frowned.
"Is Hunter worth it Steph? I mean
is he really worth it? Losing Kurt as your friend seems to really bother
you, and Hunter wouldn't even care..." Shane stopped.
"He probably wouldn't. Hunter doesn't
like me hanging out with Kurt, he says Kurt is all bad for me." Stephanie
rolled her eyes.
"How about the other way around Steph?
I hate to say this, but I agree with Kurt. Hunter is wrong for you, he
always has been, I know you wanted revenge on me and dad, but that revenge
has happened... you don't have to stay with Hunter." Shane looked into
Stephanie's eyes, locking into her brown eyes.
Stephanie sighed. "Because if I leave
Hunter, I'll be kicked out of the family."
Shane shook his head. "Is that why
you have stuck with Hunter for so long? Steph, dad loves you more then
life, he would never do that to you."
"But he did it to you." Stephanie
pointed out.
"He doesn't love me the way he loves
you. Steph you are daddy's little girl, he adores the ground you walk on.
Dad always wanted a girl; he just got me first. Everything you have ever
done dad supported you in, I was just the son that he occasionally talked
to." Shane smiled sadly.
"Dad loves you." Stephanie grabbed
Shane's hand. "I love you."
Shane smiled; the sad look was off
of his face. "I love you too Stephanie, that is why I am trying to make
you see that you have to make a choice. Whatever choice you make I will
be right by you... but I just want you to make the right one."
Stephanie nodded. "I will."
[ Raw Is War – Test VS. Albert
– Table Match ]
Andrew laid on his back, trying
to catch his breath; he had forgotten how strong Albert really was, and
the fact that X-Pac and Justin Credible were sneaking moves in when the
ref wasn't looking, was not helping matters at all. Andrew did NOT
want to lose to Albert, after everything that they had been through, Andrew
wanted to come out on top, but he doubted that he would... Albert was just
too damn strong for him.
"It looks like Test is going to
lose this match..." JR's voice paraded in Andrew's ear.
Usually Andrew would be pissed off
to hear something like that, but right now all he could think about was
the pain. He had gotten the bronco buster by X-Pac, a german suplex by
Justin Credible, and a body slam off of the top turnbuckle by Albert.
"This does not look good for Test.
This has been a hectic week for Test. First his war with Big Show and then
his war with Triple H... and Stephanie's injury seems to have affected
him as well." Michael Cole replied, speaking into his headset.
Andrew groaned as he felt himself
being lifted by Albert, this was it... he was going through a table...
this was going to hurt like hell. Andrew squirmed a bit, hoping that he
would be able to counter the move, but Albert's hold on him was too strong.
He was going through that wooden table one way or the other... there was
no way out of this.
"Albert is setting Test up for
the slam through the table... it looks like this is the end..." JR
said warily.
Andrew felt himself being lifted
up even higher, damn it Albert was going to make this as torturous as possible.
"Oh wait! What the –-- Triple
H is running towards the ring!" Michael Cole said shocked.
Hunter slid into the ring and kicked
Albert in the face, making Albert drop Andrew. Hunter kicked Albert in
the face one more time, making Albert fall to the mat floor, Hunter set
Albert up for the pedigree, once he did the move Hunter slid back out of
the ring, attacking X-Pac and Justin Credible.
Andrew pushed himself up, he took
a deep breath and picked up Albert; He hoisted Albert in the air and threw
him through the table, winning the match.
"I can't believe this! Test was
going to go through that table but Triple H interfered in the match, costing
Albert the lose, and Test the win!" JR exclaimed.
"What is going on? What was Triple
H thinking?" Michael Cole shook his head.
Andrew rolled out of the ring once
the bell rung indicating that Andrew had won the match; Andrew looked over
at Hunter who was making his way over. "What the hell was that?!" Andrew
exclaimed as him and Triple H ran backstage.
"I helped you win the match." Hunter
stated.
"Yeah I know, but why?" Andrew turned
to Hunter, raising his eyebrow.
"Because I don't want to lose Steph."
Hunter said before walking away.
[ Vince's Office ]
Vince stared at the image of his
soon to be ex-wife, still shocked that she was standing in his office.
"So Linda, what the hell do you want? To make more demands on how to run
my company? Or how to raise my daughter? Because I already got that from
Shane, and I don't need to hear it twice."
Linda shook her head. "Hear me out
Vince, because that young woman you call your daughter, just happens to
be my daughter as well. She used to love me; she used to be proud to call
me her mother, until you made her choose. Vince... you made my daughter
choose sides..."
Vince shook his head. "And she chose
me."
"Of course she did Vince, you're
her father, her favorite parent, she's your baby girl. Who else would she
have chosen? Me? Please. Hell would have frozen over before she chose me
over you. But one thing will always be certain, I love that girl to death,
and I always will." Linda planted her hands on her hips, giving Vince a
look.
"I love Stephanie too, I always have."
Vince stood up.
"Then treat her right, she is going
to make a decision and Vince stand by her no matter what choice she makes."
Linda shook her head and left Vince's office before he could say anything
in response.
It had taken a lot of guts on her
part to even go to Vince and demand something of him, Vince had broken
her heart and her spirit at one time. But there was one thing more important
then what happened between her and Vince in the past and that was their
daughter. THEIR daughter... Linda smiled, as much as she hated Vince...
they did make two wonderful things... Shane and Stephanie. Shane and Stephanie
were the only things that would ever keep Linda and Vince tied together
no matter what, Shane and Stephanie were the reason they stayed together
so long.
[ Back at the cabin ]
Shane threw in another log on the
fire; he looked at the flames for a second, a little mesmerized by it for
a few seconds. "I love the fire." Shane muttered.
Stephanie looked up from the notebook
she was writing, and smirked. "You always have, I always thought you would
grow up to be a pyromaniac."
Shane turned around laughing. "What
are you writing?" Shane asked walking back over to Stephanie.
Stephanie scooted over so Shane could
sit down next to her. "A letter."
"To who?" Shane asked, once he sat
down next to Stephanie.
"To Hunter and Andrew. I think first
off I need to write what I am feeling before I actually tell them, letters
are easy, they don't have to see your emotions in a letter, all they have
to do is read the words." Stephanie looked down at the paper.
"Have you written anything yet?"
Shane looked over Stephanie's shoulder.
"No, it's hard. I mean how do you
write a letter that is two years overdue?" Stephanie looked at Shane, looking
for an answer.
"The best way you can. I'll leave
you alone to write your letter." Shane pushed himself up; he kissed Stephanie
on the forehead before disappearing into the back room of the cabin.
Stephanie watched Shane go to the
back room of the cabin, she watched the spot that he was for a few seconds
before adverting her eyes back down to her notebook, she knew she had to
do this but writing what she wanted to say to the two men in her life felt
so hard to do.
Stephanie picked up the pencil again,
determined to write this letter, she HAD to. Stephanie couldn't
hide behind the lies anymore, she needed the truth to come out, and even
if that meant being kicked out of the family... at least she would have
Shane by her side no matter what. "I'll write Hunter's first." Stephanie
muttered.
[ Hunter's hotel room ]
Hunter walked up to the clerk, and
smiled at him. "Do I have any calls or mail?"
The clerk behind the desk looked
up nodding. "In fact you do Mr. Helmsley, a letter from Stephanie McMahon,
your wife."
Hunter smiled instantly when the
clerk told him he had a letter from Stephanie, but what he didn't understand
was how it got here. Stephanie was at least a day away in postage wise,
unless Shane had driven all the way here just to deliver the letter, and
if so why didn't Shane stick around? "Thanks." Hunter said absentmindedly
as he walked away with the letter in his hand; he didn't like the feeling
he was getting from the letter.
Hunter pushed the hotel door open
and walked into his hotel, shutting the door behind him, he looked down
at the face of the letter. He stared at the name she put on as the returning
address:
Stephanie McMahon
She had used her maiden name, without
the "Helmsley" added to the end of it, she never did that anymore.
Something was up, and Hunter could feel it, he was getting a really bad
feeling about this letter. Why had Shane come all this way to give him
a letter? And why not give it to him in person? Hunter sighed, and opened
up the letter, he took the letter out and began reading it:
Dear Hunter,
Hey it's Steph, but you probably
already guessed that by now. You're probably asking yourself why... or
how this letter got to you and so fast. I had Shane drive to the hotel
I knew you were at, so you would get this letter immediately, so that is
how it got to you so fast, but for the why question....
Hunter, lately I have been thinking....
Thinking about the reason why I married you, I know what that reason is...
I needed revenge. I needed revenge on my father and my brother for the
stuff they put me through, I needed that revenge so badly, and you were
the only person I could get that revenge with. I left everything that was
going to be my perfect life and I ran away with you...
It's been one hell of a ride Hunter
Hearst Helmsley. But like all fun and exciting rides, they must come to
an end, and then you have to face the reality that it was just a ride...
Hunter, for two long years I have
stayed by your side doing what you asked me to do with no questions asked.
I was your supporter when you needed it, I was your sidekick in crime when
your buddies weren't there for you, and I was the bitch when you needed
me to be that. I betrayed my family so many times because it was what you
wanted, but I'm sick of it, sick of it all Hunter.
I'm not the desperate woman that
came to you begging for your help, I'm not the lost little girl anymore,
I'm not the backstabber I once was.
I have grown, especially in this
past week... and that injury on Smackdown has made me see everything crystal
clear.
Hunter you are a terrific man,
you really are, you're just not the man that is perfect for me. I need
someone who I can be myself with; I need to be with someone who doesn't
freak out when I want to hang out with Kurt Angle. I need to be with someone
who can see that I'm not just a McMahon... but that I am Stephanie.
Stephanie. That one word symbolizes
me.
I'm strong, I'm beautiful, and
I'm a fighter.
I'm not a princess, I'm not a
bitch, and I'm NOT a slut.
Nor have I ever been a "slut",
that word is such a crude thing to say, the most horrible thing you can
call a female and I know that you have never thought of me that way, but
when I'm with you that is what I am.
I may have lost my best friend
because of you, would you care? Have you ever? You've isolated me Hunter,
and now it's my time to breathe. It's time for me to start thinking for
me... it's over Hunter.
I know that this is the right
decision, even if it does hurt you. You can't make me love you... I love
you Hunter, just not the way you love me, the way you want me to love you.
I love you as my best friend... of course after Kurt; you are my friend
Hunter. You stood by me when everybody else hated me, even when I was having
problems with my dad, you were there. I appreciate the time we had with
each other; it will be two years I will never forget.
This would the part where I said
I wasted two years of my life being married to you, but I haven't wasted
anything. Because those two years were everything to me, you made me into
someone Hunter, and for that I will always remember you as the man that
showed me who I was.
Goodbye Hunter.
Love,
Stephanie McMahon
P.S. Call me when you need a friend,
I'll be there.
Hunter stared at the letter in shock,
he had just lost Stephanie, he had just lost the woman he loved.
[ Andrew's hotel room ]
Andrew walked up the clerk behind
the desk; he smiled warmly at the middle-aged man. "Hey Arnold, do I have
any mail?" Andrew pushed the hair out of his eyes.
Arnold looked up and smiled at Andrew,
Arnold grabbed a letter and looked at it for a few seconds, Arnold had
got to know Andrew in the past two years, and he knew that this letter
would mean something to Andrew. "Hey Andrew, yeah actually you do have
a letter, from Stephanie."
Andrew's eyes widened a bit in shock
and stayed that way for a few seconds, before actually grabbing the letter
from Arnold. "Stephanie?" Andrew asked confused.
"Yes, Shane McMahon came by earlier
and dropped it off with a letter also for Hunter. Shane seemed in a hurry
but he said for me to tell you to read that letter, and that the contents
of that letter was very urgent."
Andrew frowned. "So it's from Shane."
Arnold instantly recognized the disappointment
in Andrew's voice. "No from Stephanie, Shane was just dropping it off,
Mr. Helmsley picked his up about 10 minutes ago."
Andrew nodded, holding the letter,
it was probably just a stupid letter saying that Stephanie never loved
him. "Thanks, I'll go put this in the trash can right away."
Arnold reached for Andrew's arm,
grabbing his attention. "Shane said it was VERY urgent for you to
read that letter, you might as well check it out."
Andrew shrugged. "Yeah fine, talk
to you later Arnold." Andrew walked off.
Andrew swiped his key card, opening
his hotel room up; he shut the door behind him, throwing the letter on
his bed. Andrew walked into the bathroom peeling out of his tight shirt,
and kicking his black boots off; Andrew grabbed a t-shirt and some sweats
and changed into them.
It had been a long day, after he
had beat Albert in the table match with a little help from Hunter, he had
a run in with Trish, and the two exchanged a few insults... him calling
her a slut, and her slapping the hell out of him before stalking off in
her high heeled boots... probably going to find Steve Blackman. After the
Trish incident Andrew had run into Kane and The Undertaker and made the
mistake of brining up Sara, which seemed to infuriate both of the tall
men, he had to hightail it out of the arena before the two extremely tall
brothers kicked his ass. He had then went to get some dinner and bumped
into Linda and Mick Foley, who had chatted his ear off, and then after
dinner he had finally gotten to the hotel to find out he had a letter from
Stephanie waiting for him.
"Let's see what dear little Steph
had to say." Andrew muttered as he walked out of the bathroom and over
to his bed, where the letter still was. Andrew picked up the letter, turning
it over in his hands, examining it. "Here goes nothing..." Andrew opened
the envelope and pulled the letter out, devouring the text of the letter:
Dear Andrew,
I know I am the last one you ever
expected to write you a letter, but saying the things that are in my heart
are easier on a piece of paper then in person.
There are so many unspoken words
between us, so many things that should have been done that weren't. So
many "I'm sorry's" that you never got from me. There were so many times
that we called each other names, instead of actually saying what needed
to be said.
Let's see; let me start with an
explanation. I know you think you know why I left you at the altar, but
you need to hear the whole truth from me... you deserve that much.
My father and my brother put me
through hell, I was so innocent back then and everybody in the WWF thought
they could take advantage of me because of that. My father enlisted me
into all of his conflict with Steve and Shane literally handed me over
to The Undertaker without a second thought. Back then Mark was so scary,
I was just a scared young woman who was being forced to marry a man that
I didn't love, Mark had scared me so bad... and all I wanted was to be
with you and not in the middle of a black wedding ritual... when Steve
came and saved me, it was like I was seeing an angel... haha Stone Cold
Steve Austin a angel... I know it's hilarious. But he was to me, he saved
me when I needed a savior the most, but even though he saved me, the nightmare
wasn't over.
Night after night, I had nightmares
of what happened, I was so scared, and as much as I wanted to tell you...
I couldn't find it in my heart to. It wasn't because I didn't trust you,
or that I didn't love you... maybe I never told you about my nightmares,
because I loved you too much to make you see what happened.
My need to get revenge on Shane
and daddy became overbearing; all I can think about was getting revenge
because they hurt me so badly. So when you were out of town doing a signing,
I went to Hunter. He was hanging out with X-Pac and Chyna, it was when
Hunter was with Chyna, and I asked if I could speak with him. Hunter and
I went to his locker-room so we could be alone and I asked him if he could
help me get revenge on my dad and Shane. Hunter instantly agreed and we
came up with the plan of us getting married, knowing that it would hurt
dad and Shane in the worst way. Hunter was so devious from the beginning,
he knew everything to do and how to do it, and I just followed along.
My need for revenge was so powerful
that I couldn't see anything past it, to get what I wanted I had to look
past love, I had to let you go. It hurt me like crazy Andrew, it really
did, but I was in a bad place back then, like I said revenge was all that
mattered.
I know I hurt you and I'm sorry,
I'm sorry that you had to feel pain because of what I did, you never deserved
to be hurt. I never planned to hurt you, but in the end I did, didn't I?
Because you loved me, and I stabbed you in the back.
Two years have passed since my
fatal decision, and now I am faced with another...
You and Hunter... you two are
probably the hardest choices I will ever have to make. Because you two...
both of you... have been such an influence on me, and in the best ways.
But I can't keep going on like this, it's draining the age out of me...
it's killing me...
Shane says I need to make a choice,
and he's completely right. I can't keep prolonging my choice, hoping that
I won't have to make one...
Life isn't that easy... it's hard
and it's everyday, but I know I can do it, I know now that I am capable
of doing something on my own.
See Hunter changed me, he made
me see the person who I was to be... and forever will be... but you Andrew
Martin, completed me. You came in my life and filled that void, that empty
space inside of me... you made me open my heart up to love.
You probably never knew this...
but I LOVE you Andrew, I always have, and yes always will. See years
can go by and we may never see each other again after you read this letter,
but my love for you will always be true. It will never go away, because
some loves NEVER go away, even though sometimes you pray for them
to so you can go on with your life... but the real type of loves stay around
forever.
For the first time in my life,
I am seeing things for what they really are...
I am NOT a slut. I never
was, was I? You hear it so many times, you start to believe it...
Am I slut Andrew? Please you are
the only that can tell me. I need to hear your voice tell me that you think
that I am worthy of your attention... please I need to know that I'm not
who everybody thinks I am...
Andrew, upon reading this letter,
you may hate me or love me, whatever choice you make is up to you...
I've already made my choice...
my heart belongs to you.
Love,
Stephanie McMahon
Andrew stared down at the letter
he had just finished reading, his eyes with a soft look in them. Had Stephanie
really wrote this? Was he really reading this letter? A letter with so
much emotion and beauty in it, that it made him want to call her up and
tell her how much he loved her?
He never knew that Stephanie McMahon
felt all those things, and that she could write them down. He had expected
a letter saying how Hunter rocked her world, and she didn't ever want him
near her again... but instead he got a letter that had so much raw emotion
that it was almost unbearable to read without breaking down.
If all the WWF fans read this letter,
they would regret what they said about Stephanie...
Hell, he regretted what he said about
Stephanie... but what was he going to do about it now?
