#ooc Last of the KWI series. Will begin with Pride side here soon. 7 - Moment of Clarity Before Hellbound "I haven't been with no other man but you DeMarcus. I haven't been with any other man since you." I swear I wished she was lying even though I knew she wasn't the type to do so. I prayed upon hope beyond hope she acted like most of the women in world; loose, immoral, and nasty. Wrong I know. Unfortunately between the both of us I was the one that actually fit that description more. We could of had something and instead I basically pushed her aside for Nina. Talk about karma giving a swift kick in the softer regions, merely a week later Nina does the same to me for Bayani...and so on and so forth. JJ, Brazilian born and raised. A harsh upbringing leading to a very knowledgeable human being. Beautiful beyond compare and although many tease her for English being her second language what she lacks in full understanding she makes up in intellect. The intrigue for me began early with her ability to think outside the box and rationalize opinions that not too many would readily agree with. She wasn't a basic mind and that's what drawn me to her. We met at a party in Miami and we were inseparable from that point on. She went home to LA I begun my start here in Knoxville we saw each other whenever we could and started a relationship. Then things happened... Her family life became very...interesting to say the least. I honestly wasn't prepared nor willing to accept all that came with it. We tried working things out but our communication waned, then came Nina and well I slipped in my morals. I care but I don’t its a battle I deal with. I broke her heart and it was something I never fully forgave myself for being I know I'm a better man than that. Or at least I thought I was before that moment. She of course gave me a piece of her mind. Cursed me out, damned me, all deserving of course. We stopped talking and she went back to Brazil. ....returning...just about 3 months pregnant now. I had to try to shift my gears in the right motion. I still had my match with Lesley coming. Things were picking up with my modeling career. All systems were truly going and here I was being told I will become a father. Soon to be 23, nowhere near prepared for such a hit. I rushed to LA for a short time between my training. I made an appointment with JJ asked the doctor all the questions I could think of. Timeframe and all. She wasn't that type of girl and after what I've done to her, who am I to question. Fact was estimated point of conception fit right in with our relationship and we enjoyed those finer moments... A father...the hell do I do now? The vision I have set for myself long ago has changed drastically. After Hellbound The past events fly through my mind as I walk in the chilled air along the respected pathways along the field grounds around me. I look ahead toward the intended destination made for myself. My win at Hellbound was a huge boost. JJ and I talked...a lot. Brought a lot of things out to the forefront so much so she's trusting me to have us try again. It's made me extremely happy to know I am even able to get back in her good graces but she isn't the only person I've owed an apology to lately. The gravestone wasn't well kept at all. It seemed abandoned and it was a drastic change in the look for only a year but the words stood out all the same. Same as the day I stood over the scene as he was lowered into the dirt. It hurt as much as I tried to hide it, the only parent I ever known and wasn't even my blood. Dr Gerald Hanson Bist Born April 7, 1956 - Died Sept 20, 2013 'Leaders never die. They live on through their followers' And man did he have his fair share of them, myself included. Changed a lot of lives for the better. Saved a lot of lives. Saved mine. I should've been here a month ago. I can hear his dissatisfaction with me even if I haven't heard his voice in 365 days plus... "Afternoon sir." I say after clearing my scratchy throat. "I...apologize for not being here as promised. Its...hard seeing this. Unacceptable I know sir I know." I shake my head and sigh. Emotions are fickle. You must be stronger. He's probably turning in there seeing the man I've become. "I took your last advice. I'm doing something worthwhile. Taking a chance. So far it's proving beneficial indeed. You probably wouldn't be too into it but its working well for me." I nod smiling inside about my clean record. It's impressive, no one can say otherwise. I wouldn't hear them if they did. "I...have done a few things in your time here. Some I know you won't be proud of. I wasn't a man of my word. I betrayed a good woman and my morals. I've done what I can to prove my lesson learned. It just so happens this same beautiful woman is now pregnant with my child. I know this wasn't my plan either but as you said a road less traveled doesn't make it wrong." I had to stop. Just sitting here talking amongst the wind. It felt so odd. Hearing his voice in my head and not having him stand in front of me. "I...I am ready for many things in life sir. My matches, my photo shoots, kissing her goodnight. But a child? I don't have the best examples. Sir, you were a wonderful coach. A drill Sergeant keeping me on the straight and narrow. You enhanced my potential and I'll always be grateful. Father? The tenderness or proud like entity? I wouldn't know where to start. I don't want to be cold to my seed but at the same time I feel myself disattached from this entire thing. Its...its not comforting. I've felt warmth a few times since. JJ, my friend Jessica, Kenzie for a time, even Nina back when we spoke to each other. I guess that's what I can strive for when it comes to my child right? Warmth?" The howl of wind and brush of leaves is all that follows. "I just need some clarity. A moment where the fog clears and the goal is seen again. This change in direction isn't going to deter me but I will not be a dream to my child. I will not allow their mind to wonder as mine has all my life who they are. Clarity sir. My fear is clouding my destination...my place. I'm sorry if I disappoint sir but I need it really." Just a moment of clarity... "Have we all reached our moment of clarity?... is it even possible to attain such a thing?" Hellbound...a day where things became much more clear. Much more clear for me, for Les Grisham, for KWI as a whole. How did thing clear for me? Still undefeated. Not only do I belong here but I'm easily becoming one of the most sought after and competitive here. Looking back those many months, nearly a year ago matter of fact I can ask myself did I make the right decision. Did leaving that cushy easy job yet unsatisfying to come here prove its worth. I answer that with my current opportunity bestowed upon me. Yes...yes indeed. The odds were stacked against me and still I wasn't denied. I ended the match in a fashion that left no questions or doubts, dominant. Hellbound was a moment of clarity, I belong here. I'm a force here. I will attain greatness here. Hellbound opened more than my eyes. It opened Les Grisham's. It opened KWI's. Lesley realized his place. It takes more than coasting on the shoulders of others. The enlightenment he received, I only look to help all those who have lost their way. Those who don't know their position. Simply put...beneath me. I tell you what I see and show you why I see it. I prove in my actions why my opinion stands and why it should be seen as fact. No fear, no malcontent, purely a man wanting to reach the top of this mountain. At Hellbound, I explained and showed. At Aggregation, I do it again. We are once again at a KWI retooling. The lost of 'graduates' and others leading different paths leave us at another restart asking the same question I stated after Lightning In A Bottle. Who steps up? Who exerts dominance? Chen obviously shows faith in Zayn, Nero, and I or we wouldn't been main eventing Aggregation and thinking about all three of us are worthwhile choices... Well to an extent... Zayn. If he's smart he will approach this go round differently. He knows me now he knows my ability and respects it. He said he only had a partial respect for me. Whatever amount that is I guarantee it’s given to my ability. Not that respect is a measurement of victory anyway. Respect didn't stop me from choking out Lesley. Have you increased in skill since our last endeavor? You can just as easily take Dante's place this time around. What you told me on twitter has resonated with me slightly. I hope you aren't stupid to think that I am thick headed enough to prove myself unbeatable. Its simply ridiculous to have such a mindset. I will eventually lose Zayn, I am Gifted...not God. I shall tell you this, if you wrestle this Aggregation anything like you did in that tag match with Lesley against N.E.R.D. you won't be defeating me. Lesley carried you and well Hellbound really wasn't a sufficient challenge at all for you. Not a good deal when looking at me and The Glorious Leader on opposite sides of the ring. Nero Darling, respect is given for the hoodlum. Yes...you heard me right. She talks as though she hasn't been raised at all. Runs with that group of derelicts who fell into the wrestling industry instead of a federal penitentiary. Quoting absolute garbage along her twitter if she's not complaining about another loss. Even with all of that, she is ring worthy or she wouldn't be combating with Xander Shaw time and time again. Well until my rise that is. I remember the first loss was taken hard on you Nero. Understandable in concept but the mental breakdown that followed--it was far from glorious. This time around you seemed better overall kudos to you but my question is are you one more triple threat loss away from another Amanda Bynes moment. How resilient are you truly, leader? But...Then there's the motherhood. Something I now can't help but give credit to. Balancing this career and children. That..its...credit is due .... My clarity will not fade. I will learn that balance as well. How about this, you teach me how to balance kids and wrestling. I'll assist you in learning how to take a 3 count on your back. In determined fashion. This is the deciding match of KWI's future. This is our opportunity to getting back to the wrestling and out of the daytime soap opera its being labeled. Outsiders laugh among the establishment I call home as though quality doesn't course these hallways. Nero and Zayn, we start the new beginning off with a bang. With the model citizen of KWI being the clarity. KWI here is the moment. Gifted, I belong here, in this position. Number one contender… |
