The street outside a club. It looks like rain, but just a drizzle for now. A man in a ripped Armani shirt sits slouched against a wall, his lips dried out, his cracked phone in his hand. His mouth up, open, as if waiting for water from the sky. A woman in a black trenchcoat walks up to him. She kneels down next to the man and tenderly puts a hand on his shoulder. Raine: Mark....Mark, it's me. Mark jolts up see Raine and scurries away like scared cat. Cannon: What're...you-where did you come froooom. His words are slurring, his eyes are glazed over. Raine can tell it's more than alcohol tonight. Cannon: I need-home. Wha.... He tries to stand and topples over, he breaks the fall and opens up a bandage on his hand. Blood gushes over the concrete. Mark giggles. Cannon: Heh. I put a nail through that one. Raine: Yeah, I saw. I wondered if that was all just fancy camera tricks. Guess it wasn't. She takes a roll of gauze out of her purse and starts to wrap it around the hand. Mark flinches at her touch, but lets her go about her work. Cannon: Had...to make a point. I can't...won't let the Holld douche take my title. He laughs at his own joke. Cannon: He he. Holland douche. HOLLAND DOUCHE! WHAT'RE YOU LOOKIN' AT? He yells to a couple passing by on the sidewalk. Cannon: YEAH THIS IS A CHAMPION RIGHT HERE! YOU BETTER FUCKING RUN! Raine: Why don't I get you home, Mark. Cannon: How did you find me? Raine: You called me. Cannon: No I didn't. Raine: Yes. You did. She picks up the broken phone and holds it to his face. Raine: See? Last call to "Sister Hate Stupid Bitch." Nice to see you're keeping your contacts organized. Mark stares at the broken screen, trying to comprehend it. Raine: You told me you couldn't stand. That you smoked a joint that might've been laced with something. Then you told me Season 4 of Lost was underrated and hung up. Cannon: Just go. I'm a god, now. Remember? I don't need you. I don't need Johnny. I don't need anyone to beat the shit out of Erik Holland. He tries to stand again and stumbles. He tries not to let the embarrassment show on his face. Raine: I miss you Mark. I'm so...I am so lonely. We're the only family we've got, Mark. There's no one else. Just the stupid, fuck-up Cannons agains the world. I miss that. I need old you to come back, I need- Cannon: Old me? People keep talking about him. People keep talking about "Old me" like I turned into someone different. He stares at Raine, who is holding back tears. Cannon: Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't know I had this inside me. Raine: You're off your pills and you fell off the wagon- Cannon: I have always been a cruel person, Raine. The only difference is that I woke up. I realized being a nice guy, being a good little faggot wasn't gonna get me anywhere. I woke up and realized that honor wasn't going to pay the bills. So yeah....I fucked over Johnny. I destroyed my relationship with Brittany. I broke off with you....And wanna know what's funny? My first match after I fire you...and I become a Champ. Now what does that say? Raine slaps him and it almost sends him reeling into the brick wall. Cannon: You just can't admit that losing my sobriety was the best thing to happen to- Raine: You coward. Cannon: Excuse me? Raine: You're afraid to get sober. Because you know the second you start thinking with a clear head, you'll regret everything you've done. Cannon: Fuck off. Raine: Tell me you regret nothing. Cannon: I regret nothing. Raine: Look me in the eye and tell me you regret nothing! Cannon: You first. The siblings stare each other down. A few drops of rain fall on Mark's face. Cannon: You wanna talk to me about honor and family. Why don't you repeat what you said to me two years ago? Huh? Why don't we give that a shot!? Raine: Mark...I... Cannon: Two years ago. What did you tell me!? Raine: I was angry....you were losing.... Cannon: So? Raine: So...I said you weren't good enough. Cannon: And? Raine: And...and that you were a loser. Cannon: And!? Raine: And....that I was ashamed to be your sister. Cannon: There it is. There's the truth. Raine: I'd take every word back if I could. Mark leans against the brick wall. He puts his hand down on the concrete and forces himself up. It's a Herculean effort but he gets himself on his own two, shaking legs. He stands up as tall as he can. Cannon: I didn't do what I did because I'm a bad person, Raine. I just got sick of it. Sick of being a trampled loser. Before I got this belt, I was living out of my car. I was eating canned tuna for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was looking up at the stars wondering how I could join them....Now I'm somebody...even if they boo and jeer when they hear my name....at least it's something. At least I'm somebody. For Erik, this belt is another thing to brag about at parties. For me...this belt is the sky telling me I really can fly. It's a middle finger to everyone whose ever called me a loser- Raine: Mark...no, I- Cannon: Now when I look at the sky, all I see are lights exploding. And I'm one of them, Raine. I'm finally one of them. And I'm not gonna let any straight boy...not Johnny...not Erik....nobody's gonna take that away from me. Mark turns around as the rain starts. Cannon: Bye, Raine. Maybe one day you'll be my sister again. Raine does nothing as she watches her brother slouch into the downpour. |
