Chapter 2: the Nightmares continue(RP #2 FF vs NBC)

[Knucks]

A little boy sits playing in his room. He has a monster truck toy. Some cheap imitation grave digga toy. He is running over some small cars and laughing as he makes people.screaming for help. The rug he is on has at least 15 cars that the monster truck has crashed and killed the people inside. He brings in a cop car and ambulance… smashes them as the truck drives over it the little boy giggles.

Boy: Die...Die...HAHAHA…Please dont Kill Me… HAHAHA die… DIE!

The boy walks out of his room and he grabs a Lunchable and juice box. He closes the fridge and walks towards the couch. He sits down on the couch and next to him is someone with a blanket. The boy opens his juice box and starts making a pizza out of the items in the kit.

Boy: mom this is the last food item in the fridge and I know you don't feel good. I hope you feel better soon since you caught this cold last month.

The boy lifts up the blanket and a dead woman sits on the couch under it. The little boy puts the juice box in her mouth and squirts some of the drink into her mouth. It goes everywhere.

Boy: good job mom you drank a lot of juice, that time.

The boy continues to sit with his mom. He turns on the tv but the cable bill wasn't paid. The static on the screen doesn't seem to faze him. He grabs the last pizza from the lunch table and puts it in her mouth. While he tries to close her mouth her neck snaps and her head falls down.

Some maggots start to crawl out of her body and the little boy starts the vacuum and sucks them up. While doing it a big section of her hair comes undone. The boy pulls it out of the vacuum and he starts trying to put it back together. The hair just falls off… he grabs some tape from the drawer and tapes it back in place. He covers his mom and shuts the tv off.

Boy: rest mom… rest I will go play in my room and keep it quiet so I don't disturb you.

The boy walks to his room and shuts the door.

****************
It was another cold cloudy and windy day in the Windy City. The scene opens up and Knucks apartment is in the background and you hear a scream and the lights flicker on and we see knucks sitting up in bed. His face is covered in sweat. He rolls out of bed and walks to the kitchen.

Dressed in a white tank top and black shorts, He turns on the sink. The water runs and he splashes water onto his face. He opens the fridge and grabs a cold beer. He cracks the beer as he shakes a little in the process.

Knucks: damn it these nightmares need to go. Why won't this stop? After all these years...why is it haunting me now. My mother's death was tragic but it wasn't like that at all…

Just then Candy walks out of the bedroom wearing a tiny black robe. She walks over and runs her hands on the back of knucks. He turns and hugs her and they kiss quickly and knucks returns to drinking his beer.

Candy: what is it, baby?

Knucks: it’s nothing...

Candy: well it has to be something?

Knucks: I just had a dream about my mother again... I failed to save her again. And this time it was worse than the actual day.

Candy: knucky baby you couldn’t have saved your mom... she chose to put the needle in her arm...

Knucks: shut the fuck up... don’t speak about my mother... she was a great woman... leave me the fuck alone. Don't touch me

Knucks wasn’t going to listen to some stripper tell him he couldn’t save his mom. Knucks opens the window and climbs out on the fire escape and he sits out in the cold night air.

Knucks voice over: my mother laid on this floor in this apartment with a needle stuck in her arm. The dirty heroine would lead to her demise. If I haven’t gone to sleep that night I would have been able to stop her. She didn’t use the demon juice when I was awake. I let my guard down and I lost my mom.

Knucks body was shaking in the cold night air. But he didn’t seem to notice... he was breathing and it looked like smoke coming from his mouth. He looked down at the alley way as his dreads fell over his face.

Knucks voice over: it was times like this that I turned to violence it calmed the thoughts in my head... it made me forget for a minute... it made me feel good to cause pain and hurt. Instead of the one receiving the pain.

Knucks sat back again and laid against the apartment building as he continued to look out side. Not sure exactly how long he stayed out but when he came back in Candy was asleep in his bed and Jessie was walking through the room. She was walking to the bathroom is some skimpy panties and a tank top.

Knucks couldn’t help but stare... he so badly wanted to taste the forbidden fruit but he knew it would cause problems. He was freezing from being outside... he wanted to do things to this girl... he wanted to make her his for the moment. But he had Candy and he still was in love with poison.


Knucks sat on the couch and he heard the bathroom door open. They made eye contact and Jessie came over to check on knucks. She touched his arm and it felt like ice. She grabbed a heavy blanket and she covered him and slid under with him. She jumped when his cold body touched hers.

Jessie: Anthony you need to go see a doctor... you need to get something so you can sleep... I am worried about you.

Knucks was listing but he couldn’t respond... he was so cold and he knew she was right. He needed to get something to sleep... but knucks didn’t want any drugs in his body. But he was going to need to sleep soon.

Knucks: so cold...

Jessie pressed her warm body against knucks and though he was freezing she cared about him. Knucks wanted to grab her and have the time of his life while his candy slept in his bed. In his head once more he was fighting the desires he had. He wanted to remove her panties and eat the forbidden fruit… he was still freezing but the thoughts in his head was warming him up and make something else go up as well. He shifted under the blanket and his hand touched her thigh. She jumped his hand was mid thigh and she startled him when he startled her and his hand trailed up her leg. They boke look at each other they wanted it… they knew the other person wanted it as well. Knucks stood up and walked to the bathroom. He Needed to get away.

******************
Knucks was at the gym later that morning. As he was working out like he does for every match coming up. At the end of the day, Knucks wanted to be 100% ready because he wanted to win every match… and this one was no different at all. All the talk all the behind scene drama to get a match where Filth Factory could take on another feds top team. This was the moment that Filth Factory proves to the world it is elite.

Kevin Masters was watching him workout and was reviewing some footage on his tablet. As the owner of Masters School of Wrestling he wanted his top client to win this match. It would be great for the Chicago based wrestling school. He also just wanted to see this young man seceded after all the shit that has gone down in Knucks life.

Kevin: these guys have been around a while I really hope you're not overlooking these guys. I know your confident but you also look a little off. Is something wrong with you or did something happen?

Knucks: yeah I am good... look I am ready to face these guys. We have been facing the best of the RSW and now we are facing the best of the Network or something. However, really at the end of the day it all comes down to Filth Factory is the greatest tag team ever.

Kevin didn’t want to pry but this wasn’t the same guy he had in his home on Christmas Day... this was a much darker looking knucks. Kevin left him to finish working out… but he was worried about Knucks. From a business and personal standpoint.

Knucks continued to bench press and grunt as he threw up more weight... Greg was spotting him and pushing him to go harder. Knucks always like to work hard when he had time to recover before a match. His arms felt like rubber as he threw the bar up one last time.

Greg: damn boy you are killing it today...

Killing it no knucks was just trying to forget. In his head, he kept seeing flashes of the needle sticking out of his mom's arm. He hated that thought so if he pushed himself hard enough it would pass... for a moment or two.

Greg: Poison was saying she had a great day with you on Christmas... I know Kevin had good things to say as well.

Knucks stopped what he was doing when he heard Poison name he truly missed her. Knucks hadn’t heard from her after he tucked her in her bed and didn’t sleep with her. He knew it was the alcohol that was making her act that way towards him. But if she said it was a good time with knucks to Greg who was like an uncle to her... maybe she was having second guesses.

Kevin returned to the gym area and called for knucks to hit the ring. A longtime friend of Kevin’s was coming to work with him.

Kevin: knucks this is my good friend mike “the murderer” Johnston. He is a true giant in the ring. He is 7 foot 2 and 415 lbs. he isn’t a beanstalk like Your opponent is but it will be good for you to work with someone big again.

Knucks: well I have faced Shane Mitchell 3 times now and he is a giant stick as well

Knucks didn’t care if someone was bigger hell he loved kicking a tall man's knee and making them drop down to their knees and deliver one hell of an uppercut to the jaw. Big tall guys. Have long reached but they also have bigger targets and they don’t move as fast.

Knucks and mike worked out in the ring for a long while and again knucks was able to block images of his mother’s death. But it wasn't enough facing this guy in a training match he needed something more.

He finished training and he jumped in the shower in the locker room. He steps out with his Awoken hoody and blue jeans on. His dreads are down as he walks towards the office but he stops. He looks up at the glass wondering if poison is in her office. The glass was a two-way mirror he could not see in.

On the other side stood poison. She had on one of her under armor jackets with black leggings on. She has her headset on as she talks on the phone… She smiles down at knucks she knows he can't see her. She doesn't notice that her fiance has just walked in. He coughs and she turns she hugs him.

Meanwhile downstairs knucks says fuck it and starts climbing the stairs. In his head, he is trying to figure out what to say. He turns and sees poison and Scotty making out. She stops kissing and sees knucks turn away.

*****************
It was an hour later or 10 beers depending on how you want to judge the time. Knucks was drunk as he walked through the neighborhood. He needs to piss but he also didn't want to freeze his dick off. Knucks lit up what looked to be a home-rolled cigarette. He slammed another beer and he was in heaven.

He walked for what felt like hours. His phone was back in the gym locker room. No way he was going back. Not to see them fucking.

Knucks voice over: it was that moment that I pictured them together. A hand reaches up and grabs the messy bun on top of the head... then a hand on the tight skinny leg jeans holding tight onto the ass of the pants. The removal of the extra small shirt that was so tight… and then I started to think what skinny jean man bun would be doing to poison. I hated Scotty he was not a real man. Just because he had a steady job in the music industry a big house well 2 from what I heard. His own jet… just because he has his own jet doesn't mean he should use it… fuck that douchebag, trying to show off and impress Poison. But when did dressing in your grandma shirt and jeans so tight we can tell if you are circumcised or not made you a man. And having feminine looking hair when the fuck did that become cool? Sometimes I wish I was older this generation that I am forced to grow up with is full of odd mother fuckers.

Knucks reached his apartment building and it was time to head in. he slowly opened the door and walked up the steps. He got to the door and listened to make sure the girls were not fighting. He opened the door and both Candy and Jessie were looking at him.
Knucks: What?

Candy: Where is your phone?

Jessie: I just got it from the gym… but they said you left hours ago.

Candy: And your drunk… was you with Poison?

Jessie: nah I ran into her and Scottie at the gym… Kevin went in and got me your phone and bag.

Knucks: whatever I don’t care so what I am drunk?

Jessie: well you were supposed to be at the airport 10 minutes ago to make sure you had time for your flight.

Candy: Flight?

Jessie: yeah he and Salem have an interview with the news station as well as he has a meeting set up to go over Awoken things as well. But that don't matter because TSA isn't going to let an underage drunk man to board the jet.

Candy: Now what? I guess we cancel it.

Jessie: or we drive?

Knucks: yeah let's do that it's like 7 hours drive only… let’s go.

*********************************************

The three of them packed up bags… well, knucks sat drinking beer… but the two ladies actually got along for a minute as they packed and grabbed the items they needed. Both them relieved that Poison and Scotty were together and that meant Knucks was not with her. It was a mess this triangle of love Knucks was in… one that he fucks… one that he loves but has never fucked… and one he dreams of fucking all day long. But each girl was so different… but both of these girls were jealous of each other and most of Poison. They finished packing and Knucks was walking out the door.

Jessie: Did you go pee?

Knucks: I am not a child…

Candy: go pee… we don’t need you to need to go before we make it to the truck.

Knucks turns and walks to the bathroom and he stands in the bathroom looking at the mirror.

Knucks: THe fuck they think I am a child…I know if I have to piss.

He doesn't piss and he just flushes the toilet and walks out. He grabs the bags and they start out the door. The cold air hits… and then Knucks realizes he needed to piss… he gets to the parking ramp and they reach the truck. He is about to piss himself as he tosses the bags in the truck. The two girls climb in the front of the truck.

Knucks: I am going to check the lights and tires.

He gets behind the truck and takes a piss. He finishes and walks back to the truck. He opens the back seat and climbs in.

Candy: you didn't piss when we told you to did you?

Jessie: I told her that I bet you were going to do that… I guess I was right.

Knucks: what the fuck… you two are supposed to hate each other and now you both are acting like your my moms..

Jessie: so did you pee or did you just look at yourself in the mirror?

Knucks: That is crazy how did you know…

Candy: I told you… us ladies always know… I know all your deep dark secrets.

Knucks was a lot of beers into the day and he normally would have blown that off… but did she know that while she was sleeping that he rubbed one out thinking about Poison… and that after Jessie at with him on the couch he jerked one off in the shower. So much was going on and so little time to fix it. Knucks knew he needed to sleep off of his drunkenness. He closed his eyes as they pulled out of the parking ramp and started to head East. The two girls are talking as Knucks fell asleep and yet another nightmare would reach him. The next few hours passed as knucks slept. The girls are still talking like ladies do.
