::Elijah is seen in a dimly lit room, phone in hand::
Bonnie:.......but Elijah, you have to come! It's moms funeral! Dads getting worse too!
Elijah: But.....I can't...... I'm...I'm so close Bonnie..... I ca-can't just leave now!
Bonnie: Oh god Elijah, you can't just not come to your own mothers funeral because of some stupid championshi-
Elijah: It's not stupid!
Tears start to flow down Elijah's cheeks.
Elijah: ......... my dream Bonnie.... It's not stupid an-and I'm so close. I can't...... my dream.....c-close.
Bonnie: You know Elijah? You just make me sick sometimes. Everything has to be about you aaallll the time huh? We always thought that sending you down there could change you, just a little bit. But nooooo you proved us all wrong again. Youre still the same! You were like this then, youre like this now! You're still the selfish, self-centered, ego-brain, assh**e you always were!
Bonnie pauses. Her breathing can be heard from the other line. It's so heavy, its like she could have a heart attack anytime now. She was also sniffing, sign that she was starting to cry. But Bonnie stayed strong and manages to recollect herself.
Bonnie: (with a weak laugh) It makes me wonder how dad managed to keep up with you. You were always his favorite. *sniff* He always believed in you. And mom..... even though you two never got along well, she always loved you. I know it didn't show because she was always drunk the whole time, and you hated that....... but she always talked about you. She was always bugging me and asking "Did Elijah call from the states yet?" when I said yes she goes on and asks how you were doing and if your alright.
*sniff*
Bonnie: And when I tell her "Why can't you go and ask him yourself?" she would frown and cry herself to sleep.
*sniff*
Bonnie: It always pained me to see her like that.
Bonnie hestitates for a bit.
Bonnie: She....... she was ashamed of herself Elijah..... She always thought that you were ashamed of her and how you hated it so bad that she was your mom. She hated herself for being how she was with you back then..... how she alwas thought she could've done a better job raising you. (with a weak laugh) She always cursed the man who invented the gin.
They both laughed.
Bonnie: Elijah, mom would love it if you showed up....... me and dad too. *sniff* Dad..... dad's getting worse Elijah, I don't think he has much time left.... So please, I'm asking you as a sister..... please come back.
Elijah wipes a tear off his cheek as Haylie comes in through a door and warns Elijah that they're gonna be late for the press conference. Elijah nods and says something on the phone, then hangs up.
:Fade out:
:Fade in:
Elijah is standing behind a podium with the GCW logo. Hundreds of cameras flash as they take a picture of Elijah, looking worse for wear. Elijah's eyes were a pale red and he kept sniffing every five seconds. He gives off a fake smile every so often.
Reporter 1: So how do you feel about your match with David Hilt?
Elijah: uhm..... yeah *sniff* I think Hilt is a ver very serious competitor and *sniff* he deserves to be in the match with..... um..... oh, with me. *fake smile*
Reporter 2: It's a high stakes match, What have you done to get yourself ready for the match?
Elijah: hmm good question. *sniff* I'm..... I did some push-ups the other day and uhm..... yeah. *fake smile*
The crowd laughs and so does David Hilt, who can be seen sitting in the stage with some other GCW wrestlers, awaiting their turn to speak.
Reporter 3: (one of the serious people who didn't laugh) Hmm, you don't seem to be taking the match seriously Mr. Cage. Is there anything wrong that you need to tell the public?
Elijah: Let me think........ no. *no fake smiles this time*
3 minutes to the PC.......
Elijah:....... I'm gonna win that match. Not even Hilt can stop me now, nosiree. *sniff* I'm going to do anything to get that title around my waste. *sniff* Even if it means breaking off my own limb.
Elijah starts to point his finger to David Hilt, who is wearing his signature sunglasses. Hilt manages to keep a coy and calm look.
Elijah: You can't stop me now.... oh no.... *laughs and then shifts his finger to the crowd* I will win that match!! If I don't, then.........
Elijah's confident and self-assured look shifts into oblivion.
Elijah: If I don't.......I-If I do-don't......uhm......
He looks down, then looks up again, then walks off the room followed by Haylie and Ted, leaving a room full of confused people.
