The days leading up to Heatwave had been long and jammed full. Between the different autograph and photography sessions mixed in with media days and working out it was tough to find any alone time. The former dual champion Alex Cross sat on the couch in his hotel suite looking out the large window, lost in his thoughts. It was amazing how far he had come over the past year, unfortunately not everything that changed had been good. He couldn't help but think back to how things had gone since the last time he sat in this hotel suite. Did he handle them like he should? What could he have done differently? What should he have done differently?
I've got to talk this out with someone because it's driving me crazy.
He had seen the latest string of promos hitting the GZG airwaves especially the ones surrounding Lady Munin and the Dread King. It was bad enough that he had to watch them but word had also gotten to him from outside sources. That perhaps their was more going on between the two than they might be letting on. Alex dug into the pocket of his khaki shorts and pulled out his cellphone. It didn't take him long to find the number he wanted.
*Ring Ring*
Hello?
Jimmy?
Do you have any idea what time it is over here dude? It's almost one am and I finally got the kids in bed.
I just needed someone to talk to and you were the first name that I could think of.
Fine. Just give me a minute okay?
A whispered voice could be heard over the phone.
Who's that?
A friend from work. Just go back to sleep I'm gonna take this outside so I don't wake anyone.
Alex ran a hand through his hair as he let out a sigh.
Alright, so what's going on that it couldn't wait until the sun came up?
Have you been keeping up with GZW since you left?
Honestly I haven't. I watch the occasional show and catch a few promos here and their but for the most part no. Why?
To put it bluntly Munin left me and I think the reality is starting to set in.
Last we talked things were going great for you two. You'd bought a ring and planned on popping the question during a trip to Japan. What happened?
I've become obsessed with winning the World Title. Not only that but destroying Leon in the process. It's about the only thing I can think about right now. I eat, sleep and shit nothing but destroying Leon and becoming the champion. It's starting to affect my life.
I'm not so far out of the loop to not know you've got your match at Heatwave for the title. But let me ask you something. Is it worth it?
What do you mean?
Come on Alex. You had a great thing going with Munin. Is winning the title really worth pissing all that away? I mean lets be honest for a minute. Let's say you win the title at Heatwave. How long do you think that title will bring you pleasure? How long do you think you'll be able to hold on to it before someone else comes along and knocks you off your high horse? Then what? You gonna obsess over beating them and winning the title back? It's a never ending cycle. At least with Munin you know that no matter what she loves you.
Obviously not Jimmy she fucking walked out on me when I needed her the most! I didn't need her to be condescending, I didn't need her to make demands or back me into a corner. I needed her to be supporting!
Listen to yourself for a minute Alex. You openly admitted that all you think about is Leon and that title which leads me to believe you've got no time for Munin. When was the last time you spoke, went out on a date or just sat on the couch and watched television? How long has it been Alex?
What's your point Jimmy?
My point? She left you not because you needed her but because you're acting like you don't need her. You're acting like a fucking baby. You want my advice? Man the fuck up! You need to learn how to separate your two lives. You need to be Alex Cross the wrestler but when you walk through that curtain you need to be Alex Cross the loving boyfriend. You can't be both and be happy.
I don't know why I even bothered calling you Jimmy. It's not like you know where I'm coming from. Thanks for nothing buddy.
Without another word he ended the call and threw the phone onto the nearby bed. He leaned forward resting his elbows and his knees and running his fingers through his hair.
I need some fresh air. I've got to get out of here.
He grabbed his phone as he headed out the door slamming it behind him.
