Summary:
What if you never got to say goodbye? If you never got to tell someone how you felt? Never got to say I'm Sorry? The collapse of a steal cage during a match that had gone beyond work leaves two wrestlers seriously injured. Will they be able to make amens before its too late???
REY REY'S DREAM/ FLASH BACK (6 months earlier)
The banging on the door woke me up my head was pounding as I heard the door open. There was slight gasp before someone punched me,
"YOU BASTARD!" Billy screamed before walking off. I tried to remember the night before but it was all a blur of alcohol and dancing. Eventually I sat up and looked around the room, lying beside me was Billy's wife Torrie. Then it all came back,
THE NIGHT BEFORE
"Come on Rey Rey" Torrie begged,
"No I just want to go back to the hotel and get some sleep"
"Don't be a party pooper, you've been like this all week"
"I miss my family"
"And I miss Billy, so we got to stop ourselves mopping"
"Fine, just one drink"
"And a dance"
"Ok one drink and one dance" I sighed giving in. Torrie and I changed and met outside my hotel room to head to the nightclub. A few hours and a lot of drinks later we returned to Torrie's room and crashed. That was how Billy found us curled up together sound asleep.
THAT MORNING
Eventually I found Billy and tried to explain to him that nothing had happened but Torrie and already told him we had slept together after I put the moves on her.
"Rey I know you've been crushing on her for ages but I'm your best friend"
"Billy we went out for a few drinks when we came back she invited me in for some coffee and put the moves on me but we didn't do anything. No matter how much I was crushing I wouldn't touch my best friend's girl"
"You calling Torrie a liar then"
"If she said we slept together then yes," I replied receiving another punch in the face,
"I forgave Torrie cause she was honest with me and said it was your fault. I can't believe you are lying and then said Torrie lied. You know how much I hate that"
"I'M NOT LYING"
"I can't believe you. I love Torrie; She loves me she'd never lie to me! If you can't be honest then we can't be friends" Billy said walking off.
BACK TO THE PRESENT
I woke up with a start causing pain to rush through my body. I could remember that fight as though it was yesterday and no matter how hard I'd tried to explain the truth to Billy the angrier he got. Then Billy made the deal if I lost the Steal Cage match he was going to tell my wife. Once I woke up my wife came back beside the bed,
"What's wrong Rey Rey?" She asked,
"Billy" Was all I managed to say,
"He's fine I told you that earlier"
"No… he… he…"
"He what sweetie?"
"Listen… to… me"
"Billy needs to listen to you?"
"No… you…"
"I need to listen?"
"Yes… Don't… listen… to… Billy."
"Don't listen about what?"
"I… didn't… sleep… with… Torrie"
"YOU WHAT?"
"Torrie… needs… to… to… to…"
"To what?"
"Tell… Billy"
"Tell Billy what?"
"We… didn't… sleep… together," I said before not being able to breathe.
"What's wrong Rey Rey?" My wife asked worriedly but I couldn't talk and was slowly turning blue.
"Ok hang on, I'll get the doctor." She said rushing out of the room….
BILLY'S POV
"Rey's awake," Torrie said as she walked in the room,
"Why do I care?"
"He's your friend"
"WAS! He WAS my friend"
"Sweetie don't you think your being stupid"
"He lied to me, he called you a liar. You know my feelings on lying"
"You know he might die"
"So?"
"You need to make amens before it's to late"
"He needs to tell the truth, if he told the truth that would be ok" I replied closing my eyes slightly,
"You ok honey?"
"My backs sore"
'Want me to get someone?"
"No, it will be fine"
"Rey's kids want to see you"
"Why?"
"Cause to them you're their Uncle Billy"
"Fine, bring them in" I said sighing, Torrie stood up and went outside to get Rey's to kids,
"UNCLE BILLY" His youngest cried rushing to me,
"Hey kiddos, how you doing?"
"Good… Dad's awake" His eldest replied looking down,
"He'll be ok buddy"
"Yea I know"
"Then act more confident"
"Its hard. You were awake heaps before dad and you're heaps better than him"
"He has different injuries"
"Hey kids?" Torrie said,
"Yes?"
"Your mom wants you to go back upstairs now"
"Ok… Bye Uncle Billy"
"See ya kiddos"
What if you never got to say goodbye? If you never got to tell someone how you felt? Never got to say I'm Sorry? The collapse of a steal cage during a match that had gone beyond work leaves two wrestlers seriously injured. Will they be able to make amens before its too late???
