You're Just A Sad Song With Nothing To Say

[Trent Townsend]

Forward:
{So he's went and made things personal. He has threatened my friends and he knew that was the one thing I feared the most. Why threatened them when I'm the one he has the problem with? Torrie was worried and now her worry has just cause. But no matter because at Ten I'm going to make sure he does't have the will to come after my friends. He's just upped the card and come Ten I'm bringing everything and more to the table. He won't know what hit him when I get threw with him.}

{I know he's all celebrating his first victory here in the WCF and I'm happy for him. I think everyone should deserve some gratitude for their effort. Of course, bringing in two STD infesting whores and drinking yourself to death isn't exactly the way to celebrate. He needs to take some pointers from me on how to celebrate. He isn't preparing properly for this match and his lack of effort is going to show when I pin his shoulders to the ring for the one, two, three.}

{Torrie worries because it's a hardcore match but I wouldn't have it any other way. I quite enjoy hardcore matches. That means I will be able to do whatever I want to Knox and there isn't a damn thing he can do about it. I'm going to give him the beating of his life come Ten. There's nothing standing in my way. Face it Knox you are nothing but an insect that needs to be squashed. An insect with the face of a saint yeah, a fucking saint Bernard.}

{Somehow we had ended up at Junction Bar even though I had frankly said I would much rather stay home and concentrate on my upcoming match. The patrients were talking among each other, drinking their drinks and smoking their cigarettes. A half lit cigarette was hanging out of my mouth and a drink was in my hand. I was completely uninterested in anything going on around me. The only thing I was focused on was Knox and his unappealing interview and very real threat. I drew in a deep breath from my cigarette and without removing it from my mouth I blew the smoke out. Torrie look over at me and rolled her eyes. She pulled the cigarette from my mouth and pushed it down into the astray.}

Torrie: "What is it?"

Trent: "Fucking Knox and his words. That man disgust me. Does he actually think he has a chance in hell of beating me at Ten?"

Torrie: "Yeah, I think he does. Trent we need to talk about this. This is getting serious. He threatened us for Christ sake."

Trent: "Torrie so help me God if he lays one finger on any of you all I will kill him. I will take his life."

{I meant every word of it too. I didn't want Torrie to worry but I knew she would. Mike and Marie haven't said much about Knox's interview but they heard what he said. They were playing it cool.}

Trent: "Knox says I'm not like the caged tiger but he is. Oh how wrong he is. See I am the only caged tiger this Federation has. I'm overwhelming in the ring and no one, not even the World Champion can put a damper on my winning streak. He thinks he can run around and do whatever the hell he wants but he's got a surprise coming to him. I'm going to put a stop to his little adventures. Going into the zoo, trying to prove he is a big bad ass dude. One of us is going down and I'll be damned sure it isn't going to be me."

"Then he insults my manhood because I didn't grant him a rematch when he ask for it. Why the hell should I grant him a rematch when he obviously isn't up to my standards. But it isn't necessary to argue over things he obviously doesn't understand. When he asked for a rematch I would have granted him one if he acted right and acted like a man about it. But no, the stupid fool had to break into my locker room just to get my attention. How stupid can someone be. I don't know what medication he takes to be so stupid but it is definitely working."

Torrie: "I can't believe he thought you weren't going to beat Death. It's obvious you had the guy beat."

Trent:"He said I should thank him for saving me from Death. I shouldn't be thanking him for shit. He screwed up my match and I'm so pissed about it. I'm going to take it out on him during the hardcore match. I'm going to use chairs, canes, tables and whatever else I can get my hands on to beat the hell out of that son of a bitch."

{I hated that idiot. He looked more and more like an idiot every time he opened his mouth. Didn't he realize that? He thinks I'll be the one not getting up after the match. He has another thing coming. I lit up another cigarette and took a long drink of my drink.}

Trent: "Then he says I had a hard time getting up from a chair shot. Well, who wouldn't have a hard time getting up from a chair shot, especially since it was an unexpected one. I guess it takes a real man to hit someone from behind. I guess you could call yourself a real man then Knox you unfortunate coward."

Torrie:"I don't know. I'm worried about this match and I'm not about to hide it. I'm worried about you and I'm worried about us."

Trent: "Don't worry Torrie. I know I can say that but you will worry anyway, but what can I do? I can't control what comes out of his mouth. Believe me I would if I could. Come Ten I'm going to shut him up for good and you can bet on that."

{We finished our drinks in relativity silence. We smoked a pack of cigarettes and other than the mild flirting we did Torrie and I sat apart like we were in two separate worlds. I wish there was something I could say to ease her worrying mind. But I knew there wasn't. She was there when Knox had broken into my locker room and she knew what Knox was capable of. I knew it all too well too. I was in the ring with him once and now with this hardcore match I couldn't help but wonder how different Knox was going to act.}

{We got back to the apartment rather late and the girls went straight to bed. I decided to stay up. I was drunk but I wanted a few more drinks before I went to sleep. I opened a beer and went out onto the balcony. I was quickly accompanied by Mike who had a beer in his hand as well. We drank in silence for a few minutes then he spoke up.}

Mike: "You think he was serious about coming after us?"

{I sighed. I didn't want to admit it to him because I didn't want his mind to worry either. But I couldn't lie to him. He was one of my best friends and I loved him more than anything.}

Trent: "Unfortunately, I think he wasn't kidding around. I think he was dead serious because you see he's deserpate now. A desperate man will do anything. He has to get this win or else he is going to lose face in front of the Federation. So in order to get this win he has to distract me as much as possible. But unfortunately for him his little plan isn't going to work. He isn't going to lay a finger on any of you because he isn't going to have the chance. I'm going to beat him to a bloody pulp at Ten and all that's going to remain is a shell of a man instead of a full man."

"I hate him. I hate how he buys everyone off. He should have been arrested that day he did that at he zoo but he paid the officer off and of course, he goes free. But he can't buy me off. He may as well not even try. I'm not phased by his money or his greed."

{Mike licked his lips and took another drink of his beer.}

Mike: "Are you afraid of him?"

Trent: "I've asked myself that question before. Many many times. But the answer is no. I'm not afraid of him. I'm not afraid of a joke. And that's what he is of course, a joke. When I'm done with him on Ten everyone is going to be pointing the finger and laughing at his broken bloody body because they will know who the true man is. And that's going to be me. So let me ask you the same thing. Are you afraid?"

Mike: "Not really. I heard what he said and it shocked me a little but I'm not afraid of him. I'm more afraid for the girls than for myself. But honestly, I don't think he'll try anything. Not with you around anyway."

Trent: "Yeah, as long as I'm around there's nothing to be worried about."

{We continued to drink our beers in silence until they were finished and we went promptly to bed.}
