xXx 2004 Phil brooks/CM Punk xXx

I needed to talk to Skylar and I wasn't going to take no for an answer. I knew Samoa Joe had business to attend to down in town, so he would be gone for a couple of hours. It presented the perfect opportunity for me to sneak off and spend some time with her. Licking over my lips, I walked out of my room and looked down the hallway. The coast was clear so I walked straight to Samoa Joe room and went inside. I could hear the shower running so I knew she was inside.

I sat down on the edge of the bed and waited for her. I knew she wasn't going to be too happy with me being in the room, but I couldn't fucking help it. Right now I could not stand her being mad at me. She was slowly turning into my everything; my reason to fucking breathe, so her being mad at me was not something I could tolerate for a minute longer.

She walked out looking rather shocked that I was in the room. She bit down on her bottom lip slightly before she walked over to the vanity Samoa Joe had got for her and sat down. I watched as she began pushing the comb teeth through her long hair, removing the tangles from shampooing it. I allowed her to finish combing her hair before I said a word.

"Can we just fucking talk?" I groaned, slightly disturbed. I wanted things between us to be good, and since Homicide had tried to fuck her, everything had just been wrong.

"What do we have to talk about?" She asked, turning around so she could look at me.

"Why are you acting like this?" I questioned, quite dumb founded on why she was so distant lately.

"I'm not acting like anything," She said, basically biting my head off.

I narrowed my eyes, "Stop with the fucking games!" I yelled, "Just fucking tell me what I did!"

"Why don't you just go back to Kelly, Punk?"

I sighed loudly, knowing instantly what this was about. Skylar was feeling insecure because I had brought Kelly in. Not only had the girl been sleeping in the same bed as me, but Samoa Joe had fucked her. It was obvious that Skylar was a little annoyed with the new girl, however there was nothing I could do about it. I had fucking brought her in to help us out. She was a decoy, a distraction for Samoa Joe. I didn't want her. She was not what I found attractive in the least, though Skykar didn't seem to understand that.

"You're fucking jealous," I groaned, "I told you she was just a decoy!"

"Obviously, it's not fucking working," She hissed, shaking her head, "This was just a bad idea."

"What was a bad idea?" I asked, confused.

"You and I. . . whatever we are, or were."

I was a bit stunned when she said that, not really knowing what to say or how to act. I bit down on my bottom lip, wondering if she was trying to call off what we had together. Was everything blowing up in my face? Had I lost the girl I had been working for? I didn't quite understand what the fuck was going on. I would give anything to be able to read her mind because right now she was confusing the fucking shit out of me.

"What the hell are you saying, Savannah?" I questioned, standing up.

"I'm saying whatever we had is off," She looked up at me, "I can't do this anymore, Syn. I can't handle the sneaking around and shit. It's just better if we--"

"Fuck off," I told her, disappearing out of the room in a fit of anger.

I could not fucking believe she was willing to end things with me just like that. We hadn't even had a real chance to have a relationship and she was already tossing everything out the door. She didn't fucking want me to begin with if she was going to let everything go just like that. I hadn't been so pissed in my entire fucking life. I didn't understand why she wanted to stop seeing me, unless of course there was something she wasn't telling me. I could understand her being a little jealous over Veronica but I was breaking my fucking neck to spend time with her.

I walked downstairs to grab something from the refrigerator when Shadows walked in. I turned around to look at him and furrowed my brows together when I saw him with a smug expression on his face. I didn't care enough to ask him what was going on. I could fucking care less about what he had to smile about. He had probably fucked Veronica again for all I knew.

"I don't think I'll be needing to borrow your girl anymore, Syn," He told me.

I couldn't help but to be curious now that he had said that. I didn't know exactly what he was implying, or why he wouldn't want Veronica anymore unless of course he was getting the sex somewhere else. I licked over my lips, wetting them a bit, as I leaned against the counter and looked over at him. The smug expression on his face never faded as he placed something down on the table before turning around to look at me once again.

"What are you saying?" I asked him, pretending not to really care, "You find some other bitch to fuck?"

"Yep," He smirked, as he opened a bag to reveal a huge box of condoms, "Savannah is finally coming around," He told me, "We had a really good talk last night, and then it went a bit further."

Several different things were going through my mind right now. I had quickly realized she didn't break off things with me because of Veronica, instead it was because of Shadows. She wanted to fucking be with him. It all made sense now. They had a good talk, things went further, and now she didn't want to be with me, and he no longer wanted Veronica. This shit had totally fucking backfired on me. Savannah had turned out to be a backstabbing slut.

"Oh, well congratulations," I said bitterly.

I was going to get the fuck out of this house for awhile. I wasn't going to stand around and watch her get all fucking lovey dovey with a man who she couldn't stand last week. I wasn't going to fucking protect her from anyone. If Vengeance or anyone else got near her, then she was by herself. I was fucking done with her. Done with everything she and I could have ever fucking had.

"Hey Shads," I said, before I turned to walk up the stairs, "I'm going to go away for about a week. Keep a close eye on Veronica for me, alright?" I told him, not really giving a shit, but figuring I could keep her safe.

Veronica was an innocent ploy in this game of lies and deceit. She was only brought in to help me get with Savannah, though now she wasn't needed for that. However, I knew I couldn't just toss her back out on the streets or else that would look extremely suspicious since the house seemed to believe I was head over heels in love with this girl.

"Oh, I'll keep a good eye on her," He smirked.

I knew what that smirk meant and I could honestly give a fuck less. For all I cared he could fuck Savannah and Veronica both at the same time, because as of right now I was fucking finished. I didn't give a shit what happened to her. I just knew I didn't want to be involved with someone who would turn on me so quickly. Savannah was by herself now, and I really doubted she could survive without me.

I passed her in the hallway on the way to get my stuff. I really didn't care what I packed because if I needed something then I would only be out in town and could easily come and get it. When I walked out of my room she gave me a confused look. I didn't even bother saying anything to her as I walked out of the house with my suitcase in my hand.
