Back At It. Back on my WINNING shit.

I Choose To Be Happy.

That’s all I wanted to be was happy, but everything happening in my life at the moment wasn’t making me happy. It was so many issues happening personally in my life that was fucking my focus all up when it came to competing in the ring.

I had issues with my sister still, and even though we kept it more private now we still had our issues.

Issues with Shark, Shark and I may have came to a mutual agreement about how we feel about each other, but there’s still that tension there, that history between us and I mean right now its just up in the air right now, I didn’t want anymore problems with him just as he didn’t want anymore problems with me.

But Anthony was the root behind the whole issue with Shark anyway, Anthony was apart of my team, he was family and at the end of the day my loyalty is to him.

Just like my loyalty is my sister.

But where was her loyalty?

It was all one big cluster fuck and I didn’t know what to do about the situation. King was mad at me because I was hanging around Shark, but it was never anything personal. It was professional, it was a way to figure out what I was doing wrong with all my recent losses, I needed to figure out how I could improve and get better at this sport.

But let’s not forget about the problems thrown at me from my family, I mean my dad putting me in a situation where I’m meeting my biological mother for the first time, it was a scary feeling, it was fucking with me.

Really, really fucking with me.

I reached out to Sharon, but with her job and being busy like she was, I knew it would be time before I heard back from her. And plus from what I hear, she was dodging me anyway, not because she didn’t want anything to do with me, but because she felt bad, she felt bad that shit hid this secret for so long and the way I found out about it.

Wasn’t the best way, Jade was released from the hospital and my dad claims he’s trying to get a mandatory rehabilitation order against her, he’s trying to help her release the demons inside of her, well that’s what he tells me but who knows what his motives we’re behind the ordeal.

All I know is he wanted me to meet with her again, and I said I would.

Bad fucking mistake of my life.

The Meeting
Three Days Ago
Boston, Massachusetts
Wal Mart - Parking Lot Area
The scene opens up in the middle of a Walmart parking lot, but more secluded in the back area of the parking lot, a black BMW pulls up with London inside, he parks the car next to the black town car his father and mother was inside. He puts the gear in park, and sits back in his seat, exhaling and then taking another deep breath, he opens the driver door and steps out.

London:
Okay, I’m here.

Jerome:
I’ll wait in the car.

Jerome opens the door to the town car and steps inside, leaving Jade and London on the outside talking.

Jade:
I came to support you baby boy, I wanted to see you wrestle so Jerome said I could come.

London:
Did the hospital give you permission?

Jade:
They released me, it was a slight overdose honey, nothing to be worried about.

London:
I don’t even know why I’m sitting here even talking to you about your overdoses or whatever else you have going on in your life because it doesn’t really matter, if your looking for money then your looking in the wrong place. I have no reason to help you, I don’t know you.

Harsh right?

Hell yeah it was a little harsh but who the fuck did this woman think she was coming at me with the sweet talk, calling me honey and baby boy like you she raised me from the fucking womb. This whole meeting was pointless because I cut Jerome on financially a couple months back, I don’t know why he thought bringing this woman into my life after all these years would change anything.

I still wasn’t giving them shit.

Part of me wanted to feel bad for this lady because she came across as someone who was really going through it, but the anger I had towards the whole situation prevented me from feeling any sympathy. I didn’t even want to engage in this meeting because I knew It would throw me off balance against Young.

So why am I entertaining the whole idea?

Because fucking Brooklyn asked me too, she told me I needed answers, answers now but in the back of my head I really didn’t care. My mother known to me was Sharon Carter, I’m a Carter, I’m nothing else.

Jade:
I don’t expect for you to like me, hell you don’t even know me, all I ask for is a chance. I’m trying to get better on my own and actually be in your life, you may be older now, but your still my baby boy and I want to be a better mom too you.

London:
It’s a little too late for that, I think it’s nice that Jerome flew you all the way out here to try and butter me up and make me feel bad for you, but I don’t. I just don’t fucking feel bad at all, I read up about you and how you use to run a successful business, you let the drugs, the alcohol mess that up and that man.

London points toward Jerome in the car and then looks back at Jade.

London:
You use to be a woman someone could look up too and now -

Jade interrupts.

Jade:
If you came here to degrade me and make me feel worst then I already do, then fine. I will give you the satisfaction too do so, but that doesn’t mean I will sit around and take it. (Coughs) I’ve reached out numerous times even before my drug addiction and I tried to be a better parent too you, but that man and that bitch wouldn’t allow me too, they kept me from seeing you and that drove me to a deeper addiction.

Jade paused as she started to choke up a little, the tears begin to form in her eyes and she couldn’t talk, she walked over to the car and leaned against it.

Jade:
I’m going through withdraws right now, but I still made the effort to get on a flight and fly out to see you, to support you and to show you I wanted to be apart of your life again, and you won’t even give me that chance.

London stood there speechless, he didn’t know what to say, how to react. He was already angry and the words that Jade were speaking, he didn’t want to hear. He turned and climbed back into the drivers side of his rental and back up out of the space and onto the road, he sped off leaving his father and Jade in the parking lot area as the scene fades to black.

Boston, Massachusetts
Anthony’s Hotel Room


The scene opens up with London leaving Anthony’s hotel room, and in a hurry. With bag in hand, London presses the 1 button on the elevator and rides it down to the bottom, the doors open and he makes his way out almost knocking over two people, he didn’t care though, not with the mindset he was in. London made his way through the doors and handed the valet his sticker, he waited a couple minutes before the valet finally reached him with his rental, London hopped in, throwing his bag in the backseat and drove off out of the hotel entrance lot and onto the road heading back towards The Four Seasons, where Brooklyn was staying. He placed his Bluetooth in his ear and asked Siri to dial Brooklyn’s number, the phone rings for a couple seconds and Brooklyn picks up.

Brooklyn:
You okay?

London:
You knew with me calling, I wouldn’t be okay. I’m not okay, after the meeting I had with Jade and Jerome earlier, to now just leaving Anthony’s place, you could say I was a nervous wreck.

Brooklyn:
I feel responsible for it, I thought meeting up with Jade and Jerome would kind of help you, maybe bring a little peace to mind if you guys had an opportunity to talk about it but I guess I was wrong.

London:
I blame myself for even going.

Brooklyn:
What happened with Anthony?

What didn’t happen with that nigga? every time I would see him, he would give me some excuse of why he couldn’t be with me. I’ve dealt with straight but curious boys, and that’s exactly what he is, or who knows what he is but if he doesn’t want me then I suggest he stop making me think he does.

I know I only added pressure to Anthony, especially since he was going through things with Anna but I didn’t know how else to go about the situation. I needed him, I wanted him and the more and more he would deny his love for me would only make me want him more.

I felt like he was a challenge, a challenge I didn’t mind going against, it would have been a tough challenge but fuck that I’m a big boy, I can handle that.

Or at least I thought I could.

My mind was telling me it would have been easy, but it was my heart that was numb, it was my heart that was suffering because I wanted to give Anthony so much more, I wanted him to be so much more but the title, this win, his ego was becoming way to much for him, and ME.

London:
I’m becoming way to attached, and I’m only fooling myself.

Brooklyn:
I’m sorry bro.

London:
It was something I only wished for but knew deep down inside it would never come true. I don’t know what type of games Anthony is trying to play, but I throw my hands in the air, I’m done with the whole situation.

Brooklyn:
And Mafia?

London:
Who knows what will happens, it seems like ever since he won the title, he doesn’t need MAFIA anymore.

BEEP …. BEEP

London looks down at his phone and notices the phone number that is beeping in, he hangs up with Brooklyn and clicks over to find Sharon on the find talking in the distance, when she realizes that London finally picks up the phone, she speaks.

The Phone Call

Sharon:
Son?

London:
Yes?

Sharon:
Jerome called me and told me what happened, I never wanted you to find out this way and I told myself that when I return from Japan that I would have sat you down and told you everything myself, forgive me, and forgive me for never telling you.

In reality I pictured the conversation to go another way, I never expected it to go this way. I wasn’t so much mad at Sharon because I knew as a mother, as a parent, as a adult she was only trying to protect me and how it would affect me growing up. That was heavy stuff to just drop on a teen, and being the age I am now, I guess they all felt it was time for me know.

So now, I wasn’t mad.

Sharon:
I wish you would have found out another way, so I apologize on behalf of your father, he can be a jackass at times.

London:
I’m not even mad at you because I know you only did it to protect me, but you’re my mother, no one else.

Sharon:
I will always be your mother, I’m the one who raised you. You are always welcomed in my home and in my life, and even with the circumstances at hand, things will not change.

London:
It feels good to hear that, because at a moment I was lost.

Sharon:
Who wouldn’t be to have news like that dropped on them so unexpectedly. But I assure you things will only get better from here, now that the truth is out, people can stop walking around on egg shells and finally live life, but its your decision now if you decide to have a life with Jade.

London finally reaches The Four Seasons, he pulls up to the front and hands the keys to the valet, he reaches for the bags out the backseat and grabs the number from valet, he chats a little more with his mom before hanging the phone up and hopping on the elevator, the doors close and the scene fades to black.

Carter Speaks



Young, a person from my past, matter of fact my shadow, just weeks ago you we’re begging for some advice, for some help. Who knew what your motives we’re behind the whole conversation, but you came to me. It was an opportunity for you to even share the same ring with me, let alone be on the same team.

Who are you though?

And where did you come from? I don’t know where all this animosity is coming from, this anger because in the promos you dropped it seemed like you’ve had a lot of hatred towards me, hatred that has built up over time.

But that doesn’t matter now.

I’m sitting back saying maybe I shouldn’t come off cocky this time around, maybe I shouldn’t try and hype up what may be another loss for me. Because these last couple matches haven’t been easy, let alone victorious for me.

But at TTTT, that will change. This is like another warm up match for me, something I can practice with until I get another opportunity to compete for something huge, something big. When I first stepped foot in NLWF, I was a beast and a young dude with a plan, a plan to take this federation by storm and perform unbelievable stunts.

Believe me, that won’t change and yes it still is a work in progress. I haven’t given up, loosing to Shark won’t stop me from trying to be the best I can be, even loosing to the Trailer Park Crew wasn’t a big insult on my career because believe me when I say this.

I will bounce the fuck back.

Winning the tag team titles wasn’t meant for me at this time, but that’s definitely something to think about in the future but first I have to address Young, the same man who thinks he’ll gain a victory over me. I’ve had enough time to sit back, get my head in the right mindset and TRAIN MY ASS off daily in the gyms, spending hours with Shark, dealing with the training he put me through, oh I’m definitely to take this match by storm.

You saw the chaos I brought in my match with Shark, yeah I lost, but I took that loss harder then any before. I didn’t want to give up, and I fought until I couldn’t fight anymore and I’ll bring the same AGGRESSION at TTTT, Young get your training up friend, because if you bring what you brought at Pride then you definitely won’t succeed.

I blame you for the loss at Pride, I blame you for why we weren’t crowned Tag Team Champions, but that’s okay though because I knew being teamed with you would be a waste of time, you dropped the ball on that one and you have a nerve trying to say I’m hiding out, I’m being secretive, but where we’re you before Pride?

That jus won’t fly this time around man, you can call me disgusting, a piece of a shit, but all that won’t matter come TTTT, I have a motherfucking problem with people who cross me the wrong way and you happen to be one of them. I’ve lost enough blood and sweat in this company alone to know where I stand at, and where I stand is above you, I’m bigger then you are man, you just came out of no where flapping your gums but not backing up shit. I gave up on you because I knew you couldn’t carry the weight as my tag partner, so now I’m happy the match didn’t go as we wanted it because you’ve would have been a shitty ass tag partner.

Listen here, I’m brought pain to the word Massacre, when I get that bat in hand you better duck for cover, because I swing with a Vengeance and at TTTT Young will be the first fuck face to feel the new me, the wrath coming from the New London Carter.

The one thing I can say Shark taught me was to be a BADASS, not to let people walk over me and to fight like I’m fighting for my motherfucking life and TTTT that will be what I’m fighting for, I won’t go down easy.

Trust Me when I say that too, I WON’T GO DOWN EASY, I’m not a easy Target, but except I’m a nigga with a fucking grudge against anyone who try and bring me down.

Shine bright Young, I hope your career takes off, but at TTTT I won’t be the person that helps you with that boost, sit back and let the big dogs handle this, and while I move on and win titles, you’ll still behind, standing in my shadow with a “FUCK FACE” wondering why you couldn’t walk in my shoes.

I’m Champion material, I was walking around backstage having people scared to look my way, and I got too caught up in the hype, I won’t lie. The fact that I was dominating and then had MAFIA behind me dominating I got way to caught up in that life, that hype.

The same hype you have going for yourself at the moment, except the hype you have isn’t from winning any matches, but instead its “HOPEFUL” hype, hopefully you’ll be able to take this win and let your ego run wild after it.

I have a point to prove to myself, and myself alone. I have to prove that I still have what it takes to be in this business and I won’t let Shark, Hostyle Jones, Trailer Hart or anyone else at that stop me from climbing this ladder.

If King can beat Shark and win a title in a short period of time, then so can I.

Young, I suggest you lace your boots up tight, say your prayers for the rest of the night and hope to defeat me. But I won’t hold back on you, I’ll let it all out, all the frustration, all the training, all the fight I have in me to win.

My mind is set, I’m waiting on you, I’m waiting for you, I’m waiting boy.

Boston, Massachusetts
Backstage Area
TTTT

The scene opens up backstage, London arrives and heads toward his locker room, he walks pass others including Shark and Brooklyn who are standing on the side chatting it up, Brooklyn calls for London to stop but he ignores her as he walks up to Anthony’s door, he starts to knock but the doors open and Anthony and him meet.

Anthony:
You coming in?

London nods as he walks inside, Anthony closes the door behind him, Anthony turns and faces London staring him in his face.

Anthony:
So you ready to talk ?

London:
There’s really nothing to talk about, your right, maybe friends is all we should be, I don’t want to mess up everything good happening with us right now.

Anthony:
Well I’m happy you finally came to terms with it.

London:
I been came to terms with it, you were the one having problems coming to terms with it, and still is.

Anthony:
What the fuck you talking about London?

London:
I’m talking about the fact that you want me, you secretly want me and you won’t admit it. I don’t know what’s happening in your life right now, but I won’t sit around and play your lovers fool, you know what went down with us and its eating at you rig-

Before London could finish, Anthony grabs a hold of London’s neck forcing him against the door, even on the outside Brooklyn and Shark could hear the commotion, Brooklyn stood there staring at the door, wondering what was going on. On the inside, Anthony was still pressing London against the door, hands gripped around his neck.

Anthony:
You don’t want problems with London, I promise you that. I swear you and Brooklyn are so stuck up Shark’s ass that you really don’t see what’s going on around you, we came in this bitch as MAFIA, we started a movement and now I think you two are softening up a little, I mean what the fuck, WE MAFIA nigga, MAFIA all day.

London:
I can’t ( Coughs ) fucking breathe Anthony, LET …………me ……………..FUCKING ………..GOOOO

Anthony:
I need to know you have my fucking back, I NEED TO KNOW MAFIA HAS MY FUCKING BACK.

Anthony shakes London up a bit.

Anthony:
ANSWER ME NOW!

London shakes his head yes, Anthony releases the hold and London drops to the floor, he grabs his neck and starts to caress it as he stands to his feet facing Anthony.

London:
What the fuck is wrong (Coughs) with you, you we’re just going to sit there and CHOKE ME THE FUCK OUT.

Anthony:
I need to know where your loyalty is at nigga, and it doesn’t seem like its MAFIA, you know what, get out my locker room because you fucking my vibe up right now, I need to focus on beating Shark’s ass out there and I can’t have this drama right now.

London:
Whatever Anthony.

Anthony:
After I win, we will discuss the future of MAFIA, the future of us.

London shakes his head in disgust, he makes he turns and opens the door walking out, Brooklyn notices her brother holding his neck and calls his name but London ignores her yells and walks off down the hall way.

I didn’t know what to do now, Anthony was over the top, his whole personality just switched in days and this title was the reason.

Fuck it, this makes me even more angry. I was livid, I was beyond pissed, that nigga put his hands on me, WE WASN’T IN NO FUCKING MATCH, but we was talking as friends, backstage.

I couldn’t believe it.

But it was on, it was on. All this frustration I had built up before TTTT was more EXTREME THEN EVER, Young was on the receiving end of one his worst BATTLES ever, he could blame King for the damage I was going to release on him, he can blame Shark, Jones, Hart, he could blame Jerome, even Jade drug addicted ass he could blame whoever he wanted, all of my enemies who could blame for the massacre he’s going to suffer, because I was fucking angry.

I wanted to walk back to his room and put my hands on him, I wanted to come across his face and show him that he couldn’t just treat me any way, but I would deal with him another time. I needed some time before this match to myself, I had to think, train a little more, it would get my mind of what was going on and put my mind back on the match.

Back on Young.

He thinks he’s ending my career at TTTT, but once I’m done with yours, you’ll be remembered as the dude whose career never took off.

Your dusty.

Trust me, the mindset I’m in now, especially after what just went down made this match even harder for Young.

Move back, it’s time to take my place back in this company and that’s at the top.
