Lost Confused Unkind
Chapter 111
I stared at Jeff as he stood on the ring post bobbing his head to the music, arms spread wide. 'Please God no!' I thought to myself. Then Dwayne's music started, the now familiar helicopter video playing on the Titan Tron & my heart pounded in my throat as I waited for him to appear at the top of the ramp. Someone touched my arm & I almost jumped out of my seat! It was only Betty taking her seat beside me to watch the last match. I forced a smile at her & she squeezed my arm & grinned.
"You ok?"
"Yes fine!" I smiled the best I could but I really didn't want to take my eyes off the ring for a second! Steve was up to something, God knows what he was going to do or why he was going to do it but I felt sick to my stomach! I watched Dwayne strut down to the ring amidst screaming girls & booing guys & without even realising it I crossed my fingers & almost prayed for them to just get through the match!
"So who do ya wana win this one then?" Betty grinned!
"Huh? Oh erm...I don't mind!"
The match started, all the while I nervously scanned around the ring looking for some sign that Steve was about to do something stupid! I couldn't relax & I couldn't concentrate until I knew where he was! What the hell was he doing in England anyway? Surely he hadn't travelled all this way just to torment me? The last time we'd spoken he'd tried to appologise so why would he be out to get me now? It didn't make any sense! My mind whirred, all I could see was faces everywhere but none of them his! Where the fuck was he?
I glanced back at the match that everyone else was enjoying, they were both laid out in the ring. Jeff pulled himself up by the ropes & staggered over to Dwayne, pulling him up to his feet. Dwayne shoved Jeff into the ropes and as he bounced back towards him Dwayne ran with him to the opposite side of the ring, making to have the momento roll Jeff right over the top. without warning as both their weight hit the ropes the top one came away, just snapped somehow! It all happened so fast! Both of them tumbled to the outside of the ring as the crowd gasped! Jeff hit the floor chest first, he seemed to bounce off the thin mat he hit it that hard! Dwayne, well I couldn't see him properly! His feet seemed to be tangled up in the ropes with the rest of his body hanging outsideof the ring! Everyone stood up for a better view, a sense of panick welled up inside of me as I almost screamed out loud! I leaned past Betty & Sasha & grabbed Adam's arm.
"Was that suposed to happen?" I shouted. The look on Adam's face was the only answer I needed! Jeff started to roll around, clutching at his ribs, his face contorted in agony. I glanced up at the Titan Tron, Dwayne wasn't moving at all. His body lay limp, his head on the mat, feet still entwined in the ropes. "Get up Dwayne!" I whispered to myself. Paramedics & other officials ran down to them & I wanted to run too! I needed to be down there with them! I Was forcing my legs not to move! This was being broadcast live to God knows how many countries, hell my own brother, my sister & her kids were in this audience somewhere, sitting waiting to meet up with their heros after the show! I couldn't go to them, I just had to watch helplessly from my seat like the other 20 thousand people that were holding their breath in this arena!
They finally freed Dwayne's feet from the ropes, got both of them onto stretchers & raced out at an alarming rate back up the ramp & through the Titan Tron. That was all I needed to see! I shoved Betty & Sasha out of the way as I clumsily tried to run but Adam stopped me.
"Move Adam!" I yelled at him & Sasha grabbed my arm.
"Wait! Bec listen! Let Adam come with you! We'll meet you in a few minutes ok? Now go! Go on!"
"Whatever! Just get out of my way!" I shoved past him but he grabbed my arm.
"Slow down! Don't panick! Not out here ok?" He was right! It wouldn't look good , damn this business! I slowed down, Adam still holding onto my arm as we went as fast as we dared to the backstage area. Once behind the curtain I ran, my legs just went on their own & I couldn't stop! Adam was close behind me with his hand on my back as we ran towards the crowd of people that surrounded the 2 gurneys.
"WOAH!" I felt like I'd hit a brick wall! "Stop there!"
"Steve what's goin on?" Adam said as he bumped into me & I almost went into Austin again!
"We don't know but you two runnin up there isn't gonna help anyone ok"
"Please! I have to see them are they ok?"
"Theparamedics are working on them now I don't know anything!" I tried to shove past him but he held his arms out to the side to stop me as he mouthed something to Adam.
"LET GO OF ME!" I yelled and struggled to get by him.
"Bec!" Adam touched my shoulder.
"I just want to see them!" Tears welled up in my eyes & I started to lash out at the arm that was stopping me from getting to the two guys I cared most about in the whole world!
"What's goin on? Hey!" Shawn grabbed me & Steve let me go as I fell into his arms. "Calm down! Come on!"
"I just wanna see them Shawn are they ok? What?"
"They are taking them to the hospital. Jeff could have broken ribs, he'll be ok! Come on!" he stroked my hair & tried to calm me down as tears flowed down my cheeks.
"JAY!" I heard Adam yell & Jay ran over to us. "What's goin on man?"
"I dunno dude! I can't find anything out!"
"Do you have a rental?" Jay shook his head.
"I have a car! Come on!" Shawn grabbed my hand & Jay & Adam ran behind us.
"Steve tell the girls to wait at the hotel with Chris!" Adam yelled at Austin as we ran out into the parking lot!
Shawn Michaels missed his calling in life, he should have been an Indy Car driver! No sooner, it seemed, that we had got into the car than we were getting out again at the hospital! The two ambulances had left before us & I still hadn't even had a glimpse of Jeff or Dwayne!
Shawn & Jay went to the reception desk as I stood with Adam totally bewildered.
"Adam what the hell happened? I've never seen that happen before!"
"That's because it doesn't!"
"Jesus!:" I Looked down at my hands, I was shaking uncontrolably & as I held them out to view them Adam took them in his and squeezed them tightly. "Adam what do you know?" He looked down at our hands locked together. "Adam please!"
"Ok...." he licked his lips, "Dwayne's not good!"
"Oh God!"
"He went over the top & smacked his head on the floor hard Bec....I mean VERY hard ok? I saw it!"
"Adam no!" Tears streamed down my face.
"All Austin said to me back there was it's not looking good ok? I swear that's all I know!"
"This isn't happening!" Adam took me in his arms & held me as I cried. I burried my head into his chest & he tightened his grip around my back as he leaned his head on top of mine.
"Is he gonna die Adam?"
He sighed, "I can't tell you sweetheart! I don't know!"
