Friends (1/1)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I understand better than she does I think, we can nevr just be friends. We've been passionate enemies, uneasy allies, we've ignored and mocked each other, hell, I've even thrown a pie in her face. But the fact of the matter is that we can never be friends, business associates, nothing. I suppose it's all or nothing, but the truth is for me it'll end up being nothing. Because you see, she's still in love with Hunter. She can't see it, Vince can't see it, Hunter himself can't see it, I'm the only one who can. And why you might ask, well, the answer will tell you a lot about me. It's so simple really. I know, when no one else does, that Stephanie McMahon is still in love with Hunter Hearst Helmsley because I've been watching her since I got here, to the federation I mean. I think that I've done more watching than anyone else in the federation, period. I've watched her every movement. I know everything there is to know about her. If she ever found out I have no doubt that I'd be brought up on stalking charges. But right now it's all worth it, I'm working with Stephanie, not to insult her, she's in my corner, she'll be cheering me on at Wrestlemania.
Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania, the biggest pay-per-view event in out business. And if everything holds together I'll be in the main event. Everyone will be there to see me, get my ass kicked no doubt. And I have a feeling that Steph'll ditch me for her estranged husband, handing him my titles as a reconciliation gift. Sure the fans will love me again, but what does that do me when I don't have my belts and Steph's left me for Hunter, again. I don't understand it. She's been with Kurt, Shane and ECW, Vince, and who knows who else and she always goes back to Hunter. In the end it's always Hunter this, or Hunter that. Even now. Look at the reason that she's teaming up with me, to get back at Hunter. Her world revolves around Hunter, and it hurts me to watch it. But at least it only hurts me, or it only hurt me until recently, until Hunter discovered her deception and embarassed her at the alter. And then she screwed him at No Way Out, she wanted to send her friend Kurt to face me at Wrestlemania, ans she would have been in HIS corner, not mine. But Flair ruined that for her, just to get back at Vince, in some way, I think. It all comes down to Flair versus Vince in this business. But that doesn't matter to me, not in the least. Because you see, Flair has given me an opportunity that until now I've only dreamed about. I'm working with Stephanie McMahon, the woman I love. She doesn't know, however, and if you tell her I think I'm goin got have to rip your tongue out and deny everything you've ever said.
I've tried everything to get her attention, absolutely eveything that I could think of. I insulted her at every turn, and it did get her attention, and Hunter's too. After all, she's his ticket to the power of the McMahon name, and make no mistake, she'd do anything for him, even now. But it seems Hunter doesn't want the power anymore, and he doesn't want Stephanie either. And she's bitter that he's finally left her, when I've seen it coming for such a long time. But then I see more than the average person, at least when it comes to Stephanie. Like I've told you before, she's my obsession, she's my passion, my reason for livivng. She's my everything, and if she knew that I imagine she'd yank my heart out and crush it beneath her bootheel. I'm just a pawn to her, nothing more. I mean nothing to her, and sahe means everything to me. Sometimes, I admit, if only to myself, how stupid she makes me feel. Her, with her money and her power, and me, with nothing, except what I can earn. And earned them I have, no matter what everyone else says.
And I don't care what she says, what she does until Wrestlemania. She's my partner, maybe she;ll begin to understand exactly who Chris Jericho is. But if she thinks that she's going to screw me over and give my belts, the belts I've earned, earned the same way Austin earned his last Wrestlemania, then she's sadly mistaken. If she thinks that she can flounce into my life and leave with my belts I'll just have to show her differently. No one screws Chris Jericho, not anymore. I've been screwed over enough in this lifetime, I won't let it happen again, not even by someone who means as much to me as Stephanie McMahon. She doesn't know how well I understand her, how well I can read her. That's because she doesn't know how much I've watched her, how much I know about her. And if I have to, as a last resort, I'll use that knowledge to destroy her. I understand better than anyone else, Steph and I, we can never be just friends. I understand better than they do, Steph and I can never be friends, we're both passionate people, too passionate to be friends. I understand better than anyone else in the world, Steph and I aren't friends, we won't be just friends net week, we won't even be friends next week. I'm just someone else she has to step on to achieve her goal, getting Hunter back, and that's reason we can never be friends. Steph and I aren't made to be friends, and soon she'll know it as I do, soon she'll see it, even as I do now. Steph and I won't be friends because Steph and I can't be friends.
