Relapse

[Christian Carter]

[Outside his hotel in Philadelphia, Christian Carter is seen with a leather jacket on with the hood up. He carries around a glass bottle of alcohol. He shakes it and puts the last drop in his mouth before throwing the bottle against the wall and it shatters. He stumbles inside and walks to his room. He drops the card key and goes to pick it up. He almost falls over but holds himself on the wall to stabilize his balance. ]

“Sir are you okay?”



Christian Carter: Im fine get your hands off me

[Christian stands up and inserts the key into the door. He looks back at the worker who watches him enter his room. Carter slams the door in his face and walks to the table. He takes a new bottle of Jack Daniels and pops it open. He takes a swig and puts it back down on the table. He lays on the bed and starts to black out]

FLASHBACK:

Shelley: Stop... Come over here. It’s been a while.

~I walk over to her and she pulls me on top of her and begins kissing me again~

Shelley: I missed you Christian.

Jake Cage: Hey Christian, I forgot my... WOE HUBBA HUBBA!

Shelley: WHAT THE HELL!

~Shelley grabs a pillow and covers herself with it as Jake stands in the doorway with his eyes widened~

Christian Carter: Jake what the hell man!? Why are you still here?!

Shelley: Still here? He was here before?

Christian Carter: Yeah he was in here when we got here. He had a flood in his house, long story.

Shelley: He broke in to my house Christian? Are you serious? Why aren’t you mad about this?

Christian Carter: I don’t know.. Its Jake.

Jake Cage: Shelley listen.. I was ankle deep in poopy but if you just let me use your shower the smell will be gone..

Shelley: EW! Christian tell him to leave!

~I stand there staring at Jake laughing as I feel Shelley’s eyes burn a hole through my head~

Shelley: Umm Christian? Are you going to say anything?

Christian Carter: ha ha ha Jake you smell like a dumpster.

Jake Cage: dude it was horrible! My apartment is basically gone. It’s okay I saved my valuables. My lucky paper clip and a box of hot pockets.

Shelley: CHRISTIAN!? TELL HIM TO GET OUT NOW!

Christian Carter: My god I forgot much you can sound like nails on a chalk board when you yell.

Shelley: Are you kidding me right now Christian? You aren’t going to say anything to make him leave?

Christian Carter: Come on look at the guy! He’s covered in shit and smells like a horse. You gotta laugh at that.

Shelley: I don’t think it’s funny Christian. If you don’t make him leave than you leave too.

~I look at Jake and I look back at Shelley with her arms folded and a scowl on her face. Suddenly the face reminds me of the day she left and how careless she was when I needed her the most. I pick up my suit jacket and her eyes widen. ~

Shelley: you can’t be serious?

Christian Carter: Goodbye Shelley. This just isn’t meant to be anymore

[Carter wakes up with an immediate scowl on his face. He walks to the bathroom and splashes water on his face. He then sits down at the table and takes another swig of the Jack Daniels. He loads up his laptop and his webcam. He presses record and looks in to the camera]

Christian Carter: You know, I was going down the right path finally. I was clean I was sober. I was starting to finally love my life again. I was solid in the ring I wasnt fucking up. You know what ruined that? One man. Jake Cage.

[Carter stops and scratches his beard]

Christian Carter: The more I think of him and his stupidity the more I realize how he ruined my career. He ruined my wrestling career, he ruined my relationship with the girl who made me feel happy. Now the memory of his little gremlin soul haunts me and makes me want to hurt someone and hurt them bad. It just sucks that this week it’s Soul Shadow that will get hurt.

Christian Carter: you see, Last week at After Shock me and my slut partner Valentina Madison couldn’t get the job done against Phoenix Rising. We had the titles in our grasp but just like when shes surrounded by four black men in a dark alley, Valentina got caught on her back and we lost. Now Soul Shadow you have a sleeping giant to deal with. Last week you awoke him and this week I won’t stop until I see blood.

Christian Carter: You want to be the “man” you want to show off your new arm candy Aeryn Ashfield well good fucks sake. Isn’t that just well and dandy i’m so happy for you pal. Keep it backstage and leave the in ring wrestling to the real wrestlers. No one wants to see an old man kiss a piece of trailer park trash got it?

Christian Carter: i will shut you up this week and I will find someone to take your precious titles from you. Shadow…. You have no idea what you’re in for.

[Carter closes the web cam and uploads the video to youtube. He closes the laptop and grabs the bottle of Jack as he leaves the hotel room]
