I find myself in the gardens of this fucking hospital, being taken out for some fresh air like cattle being taken out for pasture.
"It's been a week since I lost my title and it still hurts to think about it, I've yet to say it out loud. I'm a miserable piece of shit at the moment, don't want to eat and don't want to see anyone and I'm quickly becoming a shell of my former self. The only positive is having to spend some quality time with that beautiful nurse. I know she gets paid to treat me well and take care of me, but the way she smiles and looks at me, it’s very flirtatious and if I didn’t have so much shit going on in my life I would indulge the possibility of romance."
Xavier: But that has never been me.
I say out loud to no one in particular, maybe that squirrel over there staring at me as if I owe it something.
Xavier: I got no nuts for you…
Squirrel doesn’t even blink…
Xavier: That nurse on the other hand…
Real mature there X…
Nurse: I have a name you know?
"Oh shit! She’s one sneaky little minx, didn’t feel her coming behind me. "
I try to turn then remember I have this damn neck brace on and immediately feel a jolt of pain go up and down my body.
Xavier: Ow…
Nurse: Are you OK?
"Just peachy…"
Xavier: Sorry, I didn’t hear you coming Nurse Pride.
Nurse Pride: Please, call me Roxanne.
Xavier: OK Roxanne… Hey your name has an X on it, like mine.
"Seriously? What are you? 5? Not even a 5-year-old would make that comment, moron."
Roxanne: Um, yes. But don’t forget the a and the e.
She gives me a gratuitous smile.
" Great, she probably thinks I’m mentally retarded now. "
Xavier: Oh I won’t…
"I should go hang myself. "
Roxanne: Are you up for visitors today?
Xavier: I don’t know, is not like anyone is coming.
Roxanne: Well that’s because you haven’t let anyone come, there have been plenty of attempts from friends, family and even people from that place you work at.
Xavier: Just haven’t felt up for it you know? What is there to say that wasn’t said the previous month I was in here. I’m tired of people feeling sorry for me.
Roxanne: I don’t think anyone feels sorry for you, they just care about you and want to see you get better.. soon. Like the person who is here now to see you…
Xavier: Who is it?
Roxanne: His name is… Gio Santana?
"CHOLO!!!!"
Xavier: Um, yeah, I guess let him in.
Nurse: Great! I’ll go get him.
I quickly spin the wheelchair around to watch her walk away.
"I’m a dog, I know."
Xavier: Woof.
"Dude, what the fuck?! "
She turns around and smiles at me.
" Oh she naughty…. "
I turn the chair back around to face the pond and notice the damn squirrel still looking at me.
Xavier: STOP JUDGING ME DAMN YOU!
Cholo: So you talking to animals now? We really need to get you out of here amigo.
I spin the chair back around and smile as I see the man that’s quickly becoming my best friend.
"I thought I had one already but haven’t heard from that guy in forever. Fuck him, Cholo is cool. "
Xavier: What up kid?! What you been up to?!
Cholo: Oh you know, same-o, same-o, signing up for cruises and shit.
Xavier: A cruise? Damn, maybe that’s what I need, some R&R to fully recover.
Cholo: Well this is a wrestling cruise.
Xavier: Oh word? That sounds like fun, I should sign up!
Cholo: Normally I would say yeah, go for it, it is for charity after all and a lot of good causes are involved.
Xavier: That’s cool, but why normally? You don’t want me to sign up? When is it? I should be out of this damn chair by then and I got nothing going on… as sad of a statement as that is.
Cholo: Normally if you didn’t have nothing going on, but you do have something going on.
Xavier: Cholo I got nothing going on, look at me, stuck to this damn chair.
Cholo: Oh lo contrario mi hermano, did you watch the return of Massacre last night?
Xavier: Nah, they don’t let me watch anything that would potentially stress me out.
Cholo: Hmm, I can see that, and while yeah, maybe it will stress you out, I think this will actually motivate you more. Check it out…
He takes out his phone and shows me a YouTube clip of what went down between General Manager Marcus Welsh, Louis Pohl and Crash Rodriguez at Massacre.
"Ain’t that a bitch.. "
Cholo: So what do you think?
Xavier: What do I think about getting handed a consolation title match? I wish I could have won the Paradigm title like I was supposed to, at Under the Light and normally I would turn it down but watching what you just showed me.. Man, how do you say it, fuck those pooh-toes?
Cholo: Putos, but close enough.
Xavier: Yeah well fuck them, if they think that they are just going to get a title handed to them when Outcast and myself nearly killed each other for both titles, nah son, that ain’t happening on my watch.
Cholo: So what are you going to do?
Xavier: I think I’m about to kick this rehab into hyper speed and I’m going to need you to get me to Key West in time for the next Massacre.
Cholo: That’s what I’m talking about.
Xavier: Roux Paul can hold on to the title for this week, but next week, I’m coming for that ass.
Cholo: His name is Lou Pohl, though I don't think Roux Paul would mind if you came for that ass, but that's a whole different story.
Xavier: You lost me...
Cholo: Never mind, you think you going to get clear in a week though?
Xavier: Whether I do or not is irrelevant Cholo, next Monday, I’m coming to Massacre.
Cholo smiles and nods at me in approval. I turn and see the Squirrel still there.
Xavier: Hey Cholo, you got an apple?
Cholo: Always…
He hands me a green apple and while PETA may have a problem with this, I quickly chuck it at the squirrel, knocking it down and likely out!
Xavier: Yeah! Take that nutcracker!!
"So worth it."
Cholo: You know that was a fake squirrel right? Garden deco? Like a gnome?
Xavier: Of course I knew that man..
"Still worth it. "
