Hardy D. Jackson once said, “Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.” Lately, people have been saying I haven’t been true to myself so to say. After visiting Punisher in Atlanta, it got me thinking more about it more than ever. I wasn’t going to admit that he was right. Right now, I can’t admit that he’s right.
This match has to happen at this point. There is no turning back on it. I am not the type of person that backs out of his word. I challenged Bombtrack to this match and for the sake of the fans, it is going to happen. I have no ulterior motives about this match. I am doing it because it is the right thing to do for the sake of the company. At least that’s what I am telling myself these last few days…
I just need to talk to someone who feels as much hatred towards Bombtrack as I do. It is the only way I can get the thoughts of Punisher out of my head. I can’t let him be right. Not this close to the match. I can’t let anything change going into the Challenger Series.
December 5, 2011 Boston, MA
I hadn’t been back in Boston long and as soon as I got back into town, I headed towards Brooke’s apartment. I knew if anyone understood what I was going through, it would be her. After all, Bombtrack had attempted to bury her alive a few months ago. She might possibly hate him more than I do.
I got to her apartment and she wasn’t home yet. I had called her on the way and she told me where to find the key. Once inside, I took a look around the place. Brooke was a private person. I had known her for several months and yet I had never been inside her apartment. I took it as an honor to even make it inside.
It was pretty boring being in here alone. If I messed with anything, she would flip out and I don’t feel like dealing with any of that at the moment. I had worse things on my mind. Still, I could look and not touch. The living room was boring. She didn’t have good movies and nothing really stood out.
I checked my watch. It would still be a few more minutes before she got home. I walked inside her bedroom and took a look. Again, there was nothing really fascinating. I made my way inside her closet and I saw a manila envelope on one of the shelves. I reached for it and found something interesting. It read my name on the cover.
I opened the envelope and it was a video that said “Please Watch.” Why would Brooke have a video that I’m supposed to watch? I took the video and headed back towards the living room. I placed the disc into the DVD player and Rachel’s face popped up on the screen. I was taken back immediately. I paused the video for a second, just looking at her face. It seemed like it had been forever. I took a second before pressing play.
The video opened up with Rachel coming into view after adjusting the camera. Instantly, we know that she has been crying. She is struggling with words to say.
Rachel Cohen: I was going to wait and talk to you in person yet I knew that if I looked into your eyes, I would never be able to say what I have to say.
Again, she is struggling with words and more tears are coming down her eyes.
Rachel Cohen: We always thought that we were meant to be together, but the truth is that we were fooling ourselves. I need you, but you need to seem wrestling more. And I understand that. You have had a rough year. As long as I am with you, you will never be able to succeed how you always imagined.
She reaches for several tissues wiping her face off.
Rachel Cohen: Please, don’t come after me. I want you to always remember one thing. I love you more than anything and I always will, more than you will ever know.
She looks into the camera a few more seconds before the camera fades to black.
I sat there speechless when I heard the door open. Brooke walked in and immediately saw Rachel on the screen. She stopped everything she was doing as I stood up from the couch.
Jimmy Helmsley: What the hell is this?
Brooke Cooper: Where did you find that?
Jimmy Helmsley: In your closet.
Brooke Cooper: You were in my closet? What the hell?
Jimmy Helmsley: I was bored waiting on you. That’s not the point right now though. Why do you have a video from Rachel that was meant for me?
She didn’t respond right away. She was hiding something.
Jimmy Helmsley: She has been gone for almost six months and you have let me think this entire time that she left without saying goodbye. I always wondered why she wouldn’t have said goodbye. It wasn’t like her. And all this time you knew what she had done. Who the hell do you think you are?
Brooke Cooper: I know you’re upset about all of this, but please listen when I tell you I did this for your own good. If you would have seen this video, you would have been devastated. I have heard the stories of when Rachel left you last time. I didn’t want for you to have to go through that again.
Jimmy Helmsley: So you just took it upon yourself to decide what is best for me? You don’t have any right to choose what I can and cannot handle. I have lived my life for the past six months thinking she just walked out on me. I have wondered this entire time what I did wrong. How could I have fixed it? When in reality, she left because she thought it was best for me. She was looking out for me.
Brooke Cooper: And that’s exactly what I tried doing for you. I’m sorry. I messed up. I thought it would help.
Jimmy Helmsley: It’s funny. A few days ago I was told this whole thing with Bombtrack was about Rachel. I didn’t want to admit it, but after hearing this, it makes me sense. Every time I looked at Bombtrack, I saw Rachel and the fact that she walked out. I blamed myself. I blamed myself. Out of all the people I should have been blaming, I never thought it would be you. I thought I could trust you.
Brooke Cooper: You can trust me. I’m still the same person.
Jimmy Helmsley: No, you aren’t, you’re an entirely different person to me now.
I started walking towards the door before looking back at her.
Jimmy Helmsley: I’m going to fight Bombtrack at Challenger Series because I already vowed I would. After that, I’m done with it. I’m done with you. I’m not fighting other people’s battles anymore. It hasn’t gotten me anywhere.
Brooke Cooper: Please don’t walk out on me, Jimmy. You’re my best friend. You’re all I’ve got.
I stood there for a second, staring at the door.
Brooke Cooper: I’m still here. She’s gone. Please realize that.
Jimmy Helmsley: Yeah, the difference is that she wouldn’t have lied to me. You altered the past six months of my life. I don’t think that’s something I can forgive.
With that, I walked out the door and didn’t look back at her. It’s funny how one moment can change the way you have looked at everything in your life. Bombtrack may be a piece of shit, but he’s not the one I should truly be mad at. I wish I could have known this earlier, because now I have to go into the six pack challenge a tired man. I don’t know if I’ll be able to recover enough in time. Looking back at Brooke’s door, I could hear tears coming from the other side. I leaned down on the ground and sat there for a second. The one person I thought I could trust turned out to be the least trustful of everyone. Isn't life funny?
