THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
Donovan Street is not a very well-liked man, he doesn’t have scruples and would do anything to hurt others just so he can get justice in his own eyes for Kennedy, his baby sister and Trinity, his twin. For Donovan though the road to EMERGE has been quite the bumpy and arduous journey, always looking for a chance to hurt those that he feels has poisoned his baby sister, even tried to split them apart. Donovan Street is not names “The Ripper” for nothing and that is exactly what he did to Sabrina Bello at the last Invasion in Miami. Sabrina was a woman that idolized and adored Kennedy, she even praised her publicly any chance she had. Sabrina had an admiration for the gorgeous Street and wanted to in many ways capture the same success, even to the point where she would find the chance to team or be close though many years ago, Kennedy tried to help Sabrina and like many times over, she just walked away without warning to the point Kennedy was left disappointed and sometimes confused. She eventually gave up on Sabrina but had it always in her mind that Sabrina still had the potential to be somebody in the business.
Donovan had watched this, waited patiently and found the right moment to attack and punish Bello, defeating her and finally pounding the last nail in her coffin. That was one of many he had targets on, and it would be a matter of time before they became more apparent. Now Donovan saw the chance to become the EMERGE Champion. Not able to join SCW due to the bad rap he carried after abusing his sister and spending 14 months on house arrest for doing so, a light sentence thanks to his parents and family who didn’t want Donovan to be in prison, making him worse.
During that time though, right before he was arrested, Donovan Street had concocted a plan to drug and kidnap Kennedy. He created a nice Plexiglass room with all the amenities for his sister in the basement so he could watch her and make sure that she didn’t get into any trouble. The Problem was the minute he went into her house, he caught someone else, Charis Kensington, thinking she was Kennedy Street, even looking like her.
After realizing that was not his sister, he didn’t know what to do, there was no way that he was going to release her. This was not the way he wanted it to go down but now found himself stuck, scratching his head and wondering what was next.
In time though it became much easier.
Now that he is out, there was one man that invited him over for dinner. He wanted to talk to Donovan, the man that the elder Street continued to call out due to his relationship with Kennedy, that being….
Simon Lyman.
Surprised that Lyman invited him over to talk, Donovan decided to take him on the offer.
Simon Lyman Home
Malibu, CA.
Three Weeks Ago
Donovan wore jeans and a button up shirt untucked, loafers with a beer in hand. Simon slowly walked out, flipping the two steaks over on the grill and sipping his beer as well. Simon glared over at Donovan who was watching Simon….
Simon: “Medium rare?”
Donovan: “Yeah, mid rare.”
Simon: “Butter on the corn?”
Donovan: “Extra butter, please.”
Simon: “Polite? I like it. I told you when I offered to do this that we could have a good meal and talk, right?”
Donovan: “I think we both know that if you could kick my ass in the ring, you would. Sometimes Simon, I don’t get you though, always trying to be this hero and shit yet when it comes time to look at me and see who I really am, even Kennedy who ruined your marriage with Lexi, I have to wonder just how genuine it is. Personally mate, I think it’s a fucking act.”
Simon chuckles and shakes his head….
Simon: How long have we known each other, huh Donnie? I loved your sister; I still love Trinity and will always. I am glad she found happiness with Lucas Knight, that brings me joy knowing that Angelina, your niece has a father figure besides her old man, and you know what she really needs? Her Uncle Donovan who at one point had a great relationship with until you decided to start beating Kennedy up.
Donovan: “Is that what you think, Simon? That I beat Kennedy up after what she did mate? When she literally embarrassed the entire family back in 2010 laying almost naked in the middle of the ring unconscious? She was a joke and it wasn’t until I gave her tough love which changed Kennedy and you damn well know it. Look what she became and even this past year, she started to show signs of 2010, luckily her movie career called, and she stepped away, she needed to. I love my sister, I love my niece but unfortunately Simon, my family shunned me, they think I am some brute and the people who poisoned Kennedy’s mind are the ones to blame. They turned her against me.”
Simon: “No Donnie, you turned her against you. She always admired you, she always thought the world of you. Then you became this overbearing, overprotective asshole who wouldn’t allow her to live her life. Look at her now, she is married….’
Donovan chuckles and shakes his head….
Donovan: “She married a fucking pussy. Her daughter Is the bastard child of Damian Angel. Kennedy hasn’t exactly made a good life for herself.”
Simon: “You think so, she is happy, Donnie. She is living the life she always wanted.”
Donovan: “No mate, YOU are who she always wanted, and you bloody know it. This is why I have always hated your fucking guts. I saw it the first day you ever came over on Christmas Eve and met the family. I saw how she looked at you, how she compares every single man to who you are, mate. For a long time, you were the man she measured every other one of her relationships with. I still think she loves you because you can do no wrong.”
Simon: “I don’t believe that, Kennedy is very happy where she is and far as I am concerned, she is only going to be happier with her time away from the ring. I wish you would stop to see it that way, Donovan, to see how far she has come. Why can’t you? Why are you so damn overprotective? Kennedy can defend herself; she is a great wrestler who has only gotten better the last seven years. The SCW did wonders for her after NEWA continuously kept holding her down. I would think you should be proud. Instead you assault her, and she almost wins Taking Hold of the Flame a few days later, what does that say about her resilience. ALL the Street’s Donnie, even you. You’re a smart man that has his heart in the wrong place. Kennedy is a good woman that loves her husband, child and family, if you just took the time to see it, then none of this would be happening.”
Simon turns and takes the steaks off, then the grilled corn, he had two baked potatoes waiting as well, serving up Donovan who is looking up at him with his green eyes, shaking his head again, thinking of his sisters, what is best for both of them. He sees what Simon is trying to do, plea with him, try to get him to change his stance with Kennedy but for Donovan it is hard. He sits back, staring at the plate, then his eyes shift up to Simon….
Donovan: “You have an answer for everything, it is easy for you to stand there and take this moral ground. I know that it is not easy for me to take the same moral ground, I think your morality is farfetched and even transparent. You are only saying this because you love my sister and if you had your way, she would be in your arms right now and not you running off to New Orleans to “Train” or going out with stupid little twenty year old’s who’s maturity level reaches that of a middle school kid. Simon, you are lying to yourself and me. There is a connection there between you two and it sickens me, mate. I can never be her brother long as she sees you in this light. Simon, look at me….”
Simon and Donovan’s eyes connect, they both stare each other down as Donovan continues to speak….
Simon: “… I am looking at you Donovan.”
Donovan: “Good…. Kennedy and I will never be brother and sister long as she see that you are her savior. Forget this Jon Knots wanker for a moment, we both know she settled. If you love Kennedy and you care about her marriage and relationship with the family and especially me, then you will let her go. Walk away, let her live that life you talk so highly of. Don’t you see it, mate? Don’t you understand it? All you have to do is walk away….. but I know you won’t.”
Simon: “I can’t. You are going to lose her forever if you haven’t already. You are so worried about me, Donnie? Worry about you. She is practically done with you Donovan. You have hurt her enough and honestly; I am sick of it too.”
Donovan: “Then what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? The only reason I have lost my sister is because she sees these people around her as friends, their word is gospel but I am no idiot and I know that you have done some shit that if she found out, would hurt her so bad, she would leave and never talk to you again.”
Simon: “Now, you are the one showing all of this false hope, Donovan.”
Donovan starts to laugh….
Donovan: “Do you want me out of her life? Do you want me to stop this hunt of her friends and those that turned her against me. What do you think would happen if I took a trip to New Orleans and beat the shit out of Amy Chastaine? Break her other knee, then make her beg me for mercy, maybe even have her suck my cock…..”
Simon jerked, grabbing the fork and ramming it next to Donovan’s hand. The Ripper smirked and sat back, he started to laugh, grabbing his knife and fork, cutting into the steak and taking a bite….
Donovan: “I give you credit mate; you cook a damn good steak.”
Simon sighs and pulls his fork back, regretting he had his emotions get the better of him. Looking up at Donovan chewing the steak, he smirks, pointing at Simon with his fork….
Donovan: “A man is never that protective over a woman unless he is fucking her. I ain’t going to make assumption but you know damn well how devastated Kennedy would be if that were true. She could never get in your pants, but her former tag team partner, could? Can you imagine mate, how she would take that.”
Simon: “If it were true.”
Donovan: “Wow, you are going to lie right to my face, eh? Maybe this is the beginning of the true form that is Simon Lyman. Let me tell you something, Simon, you’re a lot of things mate, I never took you for a liar.”
Simon: “I am not a liar and enjoy your steak.”
Donovan: “You’re not? Then fine, I will make a deal with you, Simon. I promise, I give you my word that I will never touch her again, matter of fact I will walk away from her life unless she asks me to come back. How does that sound, Simon?”
Simon: “Okay, and what do I have to do?”
Donovan: “Yours is simple, see, I don’t think that you can lie to Kennedy on her face, compelled t tell truth. So sit there and tell her the truth about everything that you have done since you walked into her life. Leave no stone unturned and if your relationship is strong like you claim? Then it will weather the storm and you two can then have the relationship you’ve always wanted. Why did Cailey leave you? What happened when you allowed my sister to get choked out and embarrassed on National TV? What happened during that time with Kennedy and Trinity? What about your training in New Orleans, was it more than that? See, personally I don’t give a fuck what you do in your spare time, but I will be damned if you think that I will sit around and watch you lie to my sisters face, mate. So, what do you say?”
Simon shakes his head….
Simon: “No.”
Donovan’s eyes widen, he then takes a deep breath and looks away annoyed. Finally he turns back to Simon who takes a bite from his steak…..
Donovan: “No? Then I have my answer, you obviously have something to hide. I can’t prove it, it’s your conscience you gotta live with and knowing you Simon, that only goes so far before it will finally break. Too bad really, that’s okay though…. Steak was good.”
The elder Street chugs the beer and finishes his steak, he then stands up and starts to walk away….
Simon: “You don’t have to go.”
Donovan: “I know, but I am.”
Simon: “Why?”
Donovan: “Because I had the sudden urge to break your back and I won’t do that to a man who can’t defend himself like he used to. Be the man you preach, tell Kennedy the truth of who you really are, she deserves it more than anyone. Don’t deceive her anymore. She doesn’t need that especially after the pedestal she’s put you on.”
He turns to walk away…..
Simon: “Donovan…. I think we both know I am not the hero she thinks I am.”
Donovan: “Yeah…. We do. Thanks for the steak.”
Simon: “Anytime.”
Without another word said, Donovan Street walks out of Simon's home and into his car. He takes out his cellphone and hits stop on the record. The last thing he wants is for Kennedy to continue looking at the people who she thinks are her friends and family as nothing more than those who have taken advantage of her. Maybe Donovan will get his wish….
Or have it blow up in his face.
SCENE FADES
REC:
“A chance for an EMERGE Championship. That is something I never thought possible, sitting at home a year ago. Sabrina Bello was a woman that was self-entitled, she was never going to amount to anything. Obsessed with my sister, all she ever wanted was to be Kennedy Street. In time though things change, and I found the perfect opportunity to bring her down and send that bitch packing. And now I team with he SPIRIT Champion, YUYO and some kid named Jake Shelley. I don’t like either of them and if I had my say, I would Curb Stomp them into fucking hell. For now, though, I need these two wankers, so I can punch my ticket into the Pyramid. I think what is going on here, is a turf war, on one side you have the EMERGE Roster and on the other you have The Unforgiven.
I don’t take sides, I’m my own man.
I could easily claim that I fight for this company, but I would be lying. See, instead I will tell you the truth, if this company fell to the Unforgiven? I would still be right here with the same stance still wrestling and holding Championships. I will never be the type of man that cares about attrition. Danny Darko, been a long time, mate. Last time I saw you was in the SWA days. I get it, Vanilla Skyy was taken down. I always had a soft spot for Vee, her pussy always smelled like Cucumber Melon. Oh Danny, the early days of Skyy were memorable, it was a shame seeing her unconscious with a toe tag. Not like I never seen it before, she used to always be unconscious in my bed after I fucked the hell out of her, sans the toe tag. You’re an angry man that wants revenge but honestly mate, only way you’re getting that is by getting past me, the Anime Cartoon Character and some boring rookie punk.
Look at the bright side, you have a beautiful model that I think of a hundred different ways to make her scream and some cute blonde that came in a house of fire, trained by that cunt, Amy Chastaine and Simon Lyman, it’s no wonder she sucks. I’m coming for more than just a win, I am coming for more than just a message….
I am coming to rip someone apart and do it without any remorse. I could have it anyway I want and there is nothing that will stop me. Life is genuine, these heroes you paint aren’t heroes, they are caricatures from the figment of your bloody imagination.
And now they are going to be cast to the wayside as I continue on my path to immortality. Then and only then do I want to hear any of you question my motives. My sister is off to Hollywood, my other is off trying to secure this little group of women. There are fights to be won and NONE of them, yes NONE of them will end until I say so.
Pick your sides, take your flag and wave it high for when the smoke clears, and this little tournament is over? Don’t say I didn’t tell you so…..
But I told you so.
And then let’s see how much respect you really have for a man that will win this all.
Doing it all for Kennedy.”
