[Ryan Cooke]

Good luck to both!

[demetrius]

I'm lost on a road
Don't know which way to go
I'm losing my mind
Losing control of the wheel
And I'm swerving
On and off the road

I'm lost on a road
But survival is a must
Don't know who I can trust
I'm livin in a rush
I don't understand the fuss
My brain is bout to bust.

I think I'm losin it
I might be losin it
I just might lose
Am I losin my mind?
And I'm so confused I don't know what to do
And I need a clue before I run out of time
Am I losin it?
Am I losin it?
I think I'm losin
I'm losin my mind
Am I losin it?
Am I losin it?
I think I'm losin
I'm losin my mind

“They say that family has the strongest bond but it is clear to me that, that isn't completely true my brother in law a man that has been a mentor for a few years now turned his back on me at the PPW January 4th show. It was supposed to be a night to remember, “The Main Attraction” Demetrius Burrell was going to make history and be claimed as the first ever PPW champion, I was close I could feel it I was right there. It was down to JJ Halme and myself I had doubts if I could over power his size but I kept fighting and then for some reason Halme decided to kick me in the groin causing himself to get dq'd, and yours truly to be declared the winner and the first ever PPW Champion. Or at least that's what I thought, Derek had something else in mind which led to him announcing that C.J. Rowell was also in the match Rowell came down to the ring when I was down and out. He hit me with a spine buster and then a half nelson suplex, and the rest is history he is the champion and I am stuck questioning anything and everything that Derek Shanahan has ever said to me.”

(We open to a shot of Demetrius sitting on his couch with an ice pack on his neck. Clearly still feeling the effects from the Scramble Six, he reaches over to the table that is in front of him and grabs an un opened Coors Light, he gingerly opens the bottle then slowly brings it to his mouth taking a nice long drink.)

“I can't believe that this is actually happening. I didn't want to believe any of the doubts I had about Derek but he gave me all the answers I needed this past Sunday.”

(Demetrius reaches back and inches the ice pack towards the right a little, he then takes another swig of his beer.)

“I never in a million years thought that he would do something like this. I understand how much Derek loves shock value and how he likes to shake things up a bit by why fuck over family, What is going through that head of yours Derek?

(Demetrius sets his beer back on the table, he then takes his right hand and reaches into his pocket pulling out his cell phone he flips it open and scrolls through his contacts until he comes to the number of one Derek Shanahan, he pauses for a moment and then lets out a huge sigh.)

“He knew damn well what he was doing and he knew that I would want to talk to him. I've been blowing his phone up non stop since the show and nothing. Maybe just maybe this time will be different.”

(Demetrius clicks the talk button which makes his phone dial Derek's number. He places the phone to his ear and waits to see if he Derek will actually man up and answer this time.)

“Come on Derek be a man and answer your motha fuckin phone.”

(Demetrius waits for a few moments before he flips his phone shut he then throws it on the table. A loud crash is heard which causes Tasha to peak her out of the bed room.)

“Will you quite down I finally got the baby to sleep?”

(Demetrius turns and looks at his wife and just nods, she steps out of the room and closes the door quietly behind her. She then walks over to Demetrius and sits down, She looks at the two un opened beer bottles and the 4 that are already drunken and turns to Demetrius.)

“Babe, it's only Four in the after noon and your already drinking?”

(Demetrius reaches forward and grabs his beer he started on he takes it all down and puts the empty bottle next to the other ones he has already polished off and then grabs another opening the beer and taking a sip.)

“Does that answer your question?”

(Tasha frowns and then leans back on the couch she puts her hand on Demetrius's lap and then lets out a sigh.)

“Listen Dee, I understand that your upset but drinking isn't going to....”

(Demetrius cuts Tasha off as he takes another sip of his beer)

“Heh, Upset doesn't describe it. I'm fucking pissed.”

(Tasha frowns again as she clears her throat she reaches over to grab one of the unopened beers and Demetrius grabs her hand and shakes his head no.)

“There are more in the frig if you want one.”

(Tasha removes Demetrius's hand from her wrist and then inter twines her hand with his, she brings Demetrius's hand to her lips then gently kisses it.)

“Hun, you heard what Derek said it was a contract that he acquired with the company.”

“That's fucking bullshit!”

(Demetrius says with anger and hatred in his voice.)

“When the hell have we ever known your brother to be this sneaky about something?”

(Tasha takes her free hand and rubs her eyes.)

“Never babe.”

“Exactly what I'm saying, he has always been straight forward about everything.”

(Demetrius downs his beer and then with his free hand grabs another full one.)

“You know he wouldn't have done it babe if there wasn't a good reason behind everything. You have to have faith in him. My brother is one of the most honest people I know.”

(Demetrius rolls his eyes then lets out a sigh.)

“I used to think that babe but now he is nothing more then a puppet, and no better then the dirt under my shoes.”

(Tasha pulls her hand from Demetrius and then slaps him in the face, he just shrugs it off and opens his beer and takes a sip of it.)

“Why would you say something like that? He is still my brother.”

“Yeah, and I'm sorry you have to life your life knowing that your brother is a lying piece of shit that is being controlled by an another asshole.”

(Tasha clearly fighting tears back lets them begin to flow. Demetrius looks at her and frowns he tries to wipe them away but she pulls away from him.)

“There has to be a logical reason for all of this Demetrius. I know my brother he would never do anything to hurt you on purpose, it had to be something he had to do babe I swear.”

(Demetrius tries again to wipe the tears off of Tasha's cheek and she let's him this time, he sets his beer down on the table then reaches over and grabs Tasha's hands interlocking her's with his.)

“I understand that, but why couldn't he just came out at the start of the show and announced that Rowell was going to be added into the mix? So that he had to be out there as long of the rest of us that earned our spot. Instead of last fucking minute when I should have been declared the winner and was already beaten up by wrestling five other guys. It makes no god damn sense to me at all.”

(Tasha nods)

“I can see your point.”

“I mean it is what it is babe, but it just isn't right he isn't acting like himself and I need to get to the bottom of it. The Derek I used to know would have been glad and honored to have me as his first champion. Instead of pulling some bullshit like this.”

(Tasha simply nods again.)

“Have you tried calling him and setting up a meeting to talk face to face or anything?”

(Demetrius sighs)

“Yeah but he isn't answering my calls, and you know I went looking for him after the show, but he was already gone. He is trying to avoid me, which he has good reason to, Cause if and when I do see him I don't know what I am going to do Natasha I really don't.”

(The flood gates open once again as Tasha begins to cry Demetrius lets go of her hands and wraps his arm around her bringing his wife close to him Tasha places her head on Demetrius's chest and begins to cry harder.)

“I really don't want you and my brother fighting Demetrius I really don't you guys are so close.”

(Demetrius leans down a little kissing Tasha on the head.)

“I don't want to fight with Derek either Tasha he is like family to me. He is Ciana's god father, and not only that I asked him for permission to marry you. I just don't think I could ever trust him again.”

“Please don't say that.”

(Tasha blurts out as the tears become heavier.)

“I'm sorry but if I don't get a good explanation for what he did. Then all bets are off babe, I can't let myself be walked over anymore. If your brother doesn't talk to me like a man then all bets are off and I'm going to declare war and beat an explanation out of him.”

“I guess you have to do what you have to do, but if you guys go to war I want no part of it.”

“I wouldn't ask you to be apart of it, if it does happen Tasha I know you love us both and I don't want to see you torn apart from this.”

(Demetrius takes a deep breath.)

“I feel like I am in the Alliance again were it was nothing but ass kissers and politics and I refuse to deal with that this time around. If he doesn't come to me babe then I'll go to him. I promise that I'll try to be clear headed about all of it but if I don't hear what I want to hear then I have to do what is needed to be done.

“I understand Dee I just hate all of this.”

(Demetrius leans down once again and kisses Tasha on the head one more time.)

“I don't like it either.”
