DISCLAIMER: I DONT OWN JACK SHIT! NOTE: Ok there might be some mispellings in this chapter that's cause my computer is a piece of crap, and my spell checker isn't working, also I had half of this chapter typed up, but my computer screwed up and I couldn't get back to it, so I had to re-write it, I don't know if its as good as it was at first, I personally don't think it is cause re-writes are never as good as the originals, but yeah anyways here it is and I apologize for the long wait. DIRTY MAGIC CHAPTER 6

COMMON SENCE SETS IN

Steven looked over at the clock for the millionth time that hour, 8:24, it seemed that when it read 8:23 was hours ago when obviously it wasn't. He knew Victoria would come knocking at his door soon, she would have to know that it was him who took her drugs, and she had to notice they were gone. The fact that Victoria realized that 3 of the PCP pills were gone out of that film container told him that. It seems like she should of already knocked though, what could seriously be taking her so long?

Steven sighed at looked back at the clock once more, it was almost a force of habit now, 8:24, wow it hadn't changed. Steven stood up from where he was sitting on his bed took his wallet that was in his coat pocket and sat back down on his bed. Steven opened his wallet and flipped through the pictures he had in there, the first one was a picture of his parents, he smiled as he looked at the picture, every time they talked to him they mentioned how proud they were of him to of made it in the wrestling business and more recently how proud they were of him that he found a woman that he really loved. He flipped past that picture to the next, one of Victoria with him in a headlock while he exaggerated the pain that was flowing through his body. He remembered when that picture was taken, it was a nice while ago, long before Victoria was on the drugs, or at least he thought it was. He flipped past that picture and frowned at the next one. It was of him and Michael "Crash Holly" Lockwood, the picture was taken in the dead of winter just last year and both were embraced in a big hug trying to keep warm, he genuinely smiled at his friend, knowing that he would see him again one day and that hug would be from love and not because they were freezing, that is of course it was cold in heaven which he doubted. Steven then looked at the next picture, this one was of Victoria and a sick little boy whose last wish was granted by The Make A Wish Foundation, his last wish was to meet himself and Victoria. The kid touched Steven deeply and has kept his picture in his wallet ever since, unfortunately he died early in July of this year, the next picture made him frown followed by a smile again, This one was of himself and his friend Louie Spicoli, in the picture they were just giving each other dumbfounded looks for no reason what so ever back in his ECW days. Louie unfortunately died a year after the picture of a drug overdose himself. At that moment Steven realized just how many friends he had lost in the last few years, the last thing he wanted was to add Victoria's name to that list.

Stevens thinking was interrupted by a hard knock at the door.

"STEVEN OPEN THE DAMM DOOR RIGHT NOW!!!!!" Victoria yelled on the other in. Steven looked at the picture of him and Louie once more.

"I'm not going to let this happen again, I wont loose anyone else." Steven said quietly.

"STEVEN I KNOW YOUR IN THERE!!!!" Victoria yelled again snapping him out of his slight daze.

"Its open Victoria." Steven said putting his wallet in his pocket and looked up to see Victoria stomp in and slam his door shut.

"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT!?!" She yelled. Steven sighed, he wanted to stay calm, loosing his temper and getting into another argument wasn't needed at the moment. Steven stood up put his hands on Victoria's shoulders and got her to sit on his bed, for some reason Victoria felt calm with his gentle hands on her shoulders and sat there like he wanted. Steven then sat beside her on his bed and took her hand into his being thankful that she was for some reason letting him.

"Steven.....what did you do with it?" Victoria asked again much calmer this time.

"Victoria, I've thought about this a lot since last night, and I've been to hell and back, I've asked Eddie Guerrero for advice, I even went as far as getting Molly to help me by making sure she left your door unlocked today so I could go in there and get that junk. I never once thought that I would find all that I did."

"Steven I want it back, I need it!" Victoria said, Steven just replied by shacking his head.

"I cant let you have it back Victoria."

"BUT I NEED IT!!!"

"No you don't."

"YES I DO!!!!"

"Ok then fine humor me why do you need all of those drugs so badly."

"Because I'll die without it!"

"No you'll die if you keep using it!"

"No I wont!"

"Yes you will."

"No you don't understand, Its not like I take all of that stuff at once, I only take one thing at a time and in small doses, its ok you see." Victoria said, giving Steven the puppy dog eyes. That look was one that Steven could never resist, and he almost caved in at that moment but then remembered his wallet, he couldn't let Victoria be added to the list of people he loved that are now gone, especially when he could stop it.

"That doesn't make it any better Victoria. Listen you know we have annual drug tests in the WWE, you will be busted for using the stuff, then you'll loose your job. You don't want that do you?" Steven said, Victoria shook her head, indeed she didn't want that, this business was all she ever wanted to do.

"Steven you just don't understand! I need it to relax, without those pills I'll go completely insane."

"You know what's also good for relaxing? Way better then this crap your putting into your body?"

"What? And so help me if you say reading..."

"Well I was but not now I guess....but just take a nap, it does wonders."

"I tried that it doesn't work I'm way too stressed out!"

"Why are you so stressed out? What do you have that could possibly stress you out?"

"Its this dammed business!" Victoria said, squeezing Stevens hand.

"Victoria when did this start?"

"A while ago."

"How long ago?"

"It was after Wrestle Mania 19 this year." Victoria said sounding a little defeated & taking her hand out of Stevens. After that Steven at least knew when it started, maybe now he was getting somewhere.

"But why did you start then?" Steven asked taking her hand back into his own.

"I would like to think it would be obvious." Victoria said looking towards the ground now, trying to avoid Stevens eyes.

"Well I guess I'm pretty stupid then huh? Can you please enlighten me a little?" Steven said, Victoria sighed.

"That's when that stupid bitch Trish Stratus stole my women's championship from me!" Victoria said though her gritted teeth, while she squeezed Stevens hand tighter at the thought of Trish. All the while keeping her eyes focused on the ground.

"When you lost the women's championship?"

"Yes! Steven everything I ever wanted in life I got, that title was no different!"

"But Victoria you'll get another shot."

"That doesn't matter Steven! Don't you understand, I tried my best to keep that title and I couldn't do it, for the first time ever in my life my best wasn't good enough! For Christ's sake, Steven, what does that say about me!?" Victoria said raising her voice a little and finally looking Steven in the face again.

"Victoria it says your only human. You were going against Trish Stratus, & Jazz that night. Not to mention the fact that your knee was really bothering you then, you almost had to forfeit the title to get surgery done on it remember?" Steven said reminding her. Victoria shook her head.

"There is no excuse Steven. These drugs made my knee feel better & I got back on track for the women's title, I need them to get my title back Steven." Victoria said almost begging, Steven shook her head.

"No Victoria, you don't need them. Listen you won the women's title last time and kept it for months all without those drugs you so desperately need. Those drugs are if anything just one big hindrance to your chances of winning the title back." Steven said. Victoria turned away and started to look at the floor again. Steven then moved her head to be face to face with him again. "You know I'm right Victoria." Victoria didn't say anything and continued to just stare blankly at Steven, her lower lip quivering a little bit, the truth finally setting in on her.

"We'll beat this together ok Victoria, I'll help you get through this." Steven said putting a hand on Victoria's face. Victoria looked at Steven her eyes now starting to fill with tears and simply nodded.

"Ok Steven."
