all mistakes are mine, Enjoy.
The memories haunted him. Each night brought whispers from the past. It seems they've come to destroy his sanity, even the ice tonic won't sooth the voices, it only feeds them. The cold class sits nicely on his table, taunting him, 'one last drink, it can help you.' He knows they are lies. "I love you Cody," his eyes snap shut "Just keep holding my hand and you'll be fine," He grabs for his drink, the ice clicks against the class-its mock laughter. "I'll never leave you baby,"Cody can practically feel Ted's warm breath again, nuzzling his ear. Shamefully he can feel his body react. He drains the drink and pours another "why not?" he says out loud 'yeah, why not,' the voices echo back. Cody smiles the only friends he has live in his mind. "Thanks for the permission," he laughs 'no problem.' The alcohol slowly, nicely takes its effect. The voices, the whispers dull down to a buzz "sweet, sweet bliss," Cody mumbles before his eyes shut.
"Cody, look you can't continue like this,"
"The fuck I can't,"
"are you letting him win?"
"go fuck yourself Husky,"
"Ted didn't love you, why would he anyway?"
"I said shut the fuck up!"
"No one will,"
Cody's eyes snap open before they squeeze tightly together again. The sunlight practically burns his eyes and an equally painful headache throbs behind his eyes. "Fuck," he says or tires, his throat is dry. Cody slowly sits up hoping to keep the nausea down. It doesn't work and he makes a bee line towards the bathroom. This moans echo against the tile wall, finally he stops. Cody flushes before pressing his forehead against the cool porcelain bowl. He feels better, till his eyes land on the floor length mirror, the image of a lonely, pathetic man greets him. "That can't not be me," he says 'oh but it is, take a nice long look,' Cody shakes his head, big mistake the room starts to spin. When the room finally stops moving around and Cody feels it safe, he gets up. He brushes his hair and teeth, flosses all that bullshit before he walks out into the room. From the dresser he sees his phone flash, slowly he makes his way over, 3 missed calls and ten texts. "Jesus," he mumbles Husky's name fills his inbox 'ted didn't love you,' Cody closes his eyes "it was only a dream," he tries to convince himself 'or was it?' "No, no he's not cruel," 'you sure?' "Yeah." He calls husky but barely pays attention "flight leaves in 2 hours, they'll meet up at the lobby in 1." He sits down on his bed, the dream from last night slowly making its way back. Husky would never talk to him like that or would he? All this thinking makes his head hurt more. 'Have a drink, it wouldn't hurt,' "Can you feel this headache? No thanks," but his eyes land on the bottle 'go for it.'
Husky sighs as he sees Cody stumble towards him. "Hey bud!" Cody smiles and Husky tries to return it "Dude, not again," Cody's smile vanishes. "What are you talking about?" the younger man gestures towards Cody "look man you can't continue like this," Cody goes stiff 'see, it's all real.' "Shut the fuck up Husky!" Husky looks away hurt "look I'm just saying-" "What, that Ted didn't love me?" Cody harsh voice interrupts. Husky's eyes widen "n-no man, I didn't even-" his voice fades away. 'He's lying Cody, all lies,' "look Cody lets just go and pray that they let you on the plane." Cody narrows his eyes but says nothing else. The trip to the airport is tense and silent, Husky itches to call Ted but he'll have to wait on that. With their disguises they make their way inside. Husky goes over to the NXT roster. "Whats up with him?" Kaval asks pointing to the Pro Husky just shrugs, he's not to entirely sure himself.
The plane ride is boring but it's a good thing they have alcohol and with a flash of perfect teeth, it comes to him at a nice steady pace. The flight attendant has been won over and it really wasn't hard. The wonderful buzz starts to appear as well as the voices, they're are soft hum at first not yet understandable. A few more drinks later and they become whispers but there are so many this time. It's like he is in a crowded room rather then a quiet airplane. Cody shuts his eyes and takes a deep breath, suddenly he's become tired. Against his will he can feel his body go slack and the darkness engulfs him.
Cody watches has Ted's back arches off the bed, his blue eyes widen and his heart stops for a moment. "Teddy?" the older man doesn't bother to turn around. "What are you doing here?" Maryse sneers Cody narrows his eyes "I'm just leaving," the woman smiles "good me and Teddy bear are not done." Cody winces at her nick name for Ted "call me later Codes," Ted mumbles "now leave." Cody turns around but not before he hears Ted tell Maryse he loves her and only her, Cody feels his heart clench and his stomach drops. He feels his lungs tighten, he starts to gasp for air.
Cody jolts awake he's still gasping for air "Woah, Cody you okay?" Husky's voice sounds so far away and distant. "I-I think so," Cody gaps out, Husky smiles "our plane lands in 20 minutes, think you'll make it?" Cody laughs "maybe," 'sure you will.' Cody frowns "here you are Sir," the flight attendant from before sets a bottle of Jack down. Cody gladly reaches for it but his eyes wander over to Husky's disapproving face. "Actually," he suddenly says "no thanks," she blinks in surprise "oh, okay anything else then?" Cody nods "water please," 'what are you doing?' Cody shakes his head 'you needed that!' Cody covers his ears 'that wont work boy.' The young man feels a cold chill run down his spine, that was an entirely new voice. 'Drink, you'll feel better' a strong urge racks his body, its a good thing the plane is about to land. He gulps down his water, trying to concentrate but the voices are filling up his mind. Cody leaves the plane in a hurry, not bothering to wait for husky, he grabs a rental and takes off towards his hotel. Right now he needs to be alone, Cody's cell phone rings but he ignores it, 'do it, do it,' the voices chant. Inside, the room being to spin "fuck!" he screams out "stop!" but visions of Ted and Maryse invade his thoughts. "Why are you doing this to me!" 'to teach you,' Cody's eyes start to sting 'that life, is such a terrible fate, now go on Cody.' The young man sniffs but a smile appears on his face 'no more pain Codes,' The voices die down as he walks towards the window. He looks out, watching the lights of another nameless city shine bright, he punches the window smashing it open. Blood runs down his tan knuckles and he swears he's broken his wrist but he doesn't care. Finally the window is open wide enough so he can sit, finally Cody feels he can breathe, Finally he'll be free. Cody sits on the ledge of the window, the cool breeze brushing at his face softly. Slowly he scoots himself closer to the brim, his fingers clutching the sides. 'Go for it,' Cody finally slides himself completely out the window.
THE END.
