Still Can't Get Over You

Chapter 39

Knapp Arena;
H's POV;

Standing backstage my nerves were getting ready to get the better of me; as I thought about my fight with Victoria that was about to start. My thoughts were on Dylan; I hoped that she was ok. We had been watching from backstage and the thud in which her head had hit the metal flooring had tore through Shannon like nails on a chalk board and it had been no less hard for me to watch either.

"You ok baby?" Shannon asked me placing his hand to the small of my back.

"Mmhmm just worried about Dyl," I admitted clicking my fingers as I stretched.

"You and me both...but she will be fine; she has to be fine!" He replied stopping me from stretching out and holding me close. "Just be safe in that ring ok!?"

"Shannon I know..."

"Just promise me?" He pressed softly running his hand down the side of my face.

"I promise," I nodded as Victoria gave me a smile before she stepped out in to the arena as her entrance music started.

"Good...now get out there and kick some ass beautiful," He smiled sliding his hand in to mine as my entrance music started;

Why do you look at me when you hate me
Why should I look at you when you
make me hate you too
I sense a smell of retribution in the air
I don't even understand why the fuck
you even care
And I don't need your jealousy yeah
Why drag me down in your misery
And when you stare don't you think I feel it
But I'm gonna deal it back to you in spades
When I'm havin' fun ya know I can't conceal it
'Cause I know you'd never cut it in my game
Oh no
And when you're talkin' about a vasectomy
Yeah
I'll be writin' down your obituary
History

"And introducing the challenger from Santa Monica; LA weighing in at one hundred and forty pounds...H Evans!" The announcer called out my name as Shannon and I slapped hands with the fans on the way down to the ring where Victoria was waiting for me.

I had never worried about getting in the ring before but tonight I could feel my nerves working over time because I knew that my head wasn't really in what I was doing. Too much had happened and I was worried about my friend.

But I knew Dylan; she would want me focused, she would want me to get this win; which I was scheduled to do but it didn't make the prospect of getting in there any easier to deal with.

Sliding in to the ring, I moved to the turnbuckles and greeted the fans as Victoria moved around behind me. We had talked over the course of the past few days about this fight, so we both knew what to expect from one another and how to get the best out of the fight. I actually found that I liked the woman, she was easy to get along with despite her brash in your face character.

The bell rang and we were locked in a tight and strong head lock. Shannon was at the side of the ring; urging the audience to chant my name as I managed to twirl around and catch Victoria in a single head lock.

"...you have to wonder where H's head is in this fight tonight after all that has happened JR!" Mike Foley stated in the background as I worked to get the upper hand.

"You're right Mick; we watched earlier as H's best friend and sometime tag team partner took a nasty spear from the rated R superstar. EMT's loaded Dylan Moore in to a stretcher and she was escorted out of the building. There is no word on her condition as of yet other than she has been taken to the local ER!" JR announced before going back to talking about the match that I was fighting in at this moment.
