Exiled My Heart

 

Drew almost recklessly swung his car into the first parking spot he saw in front of the hotel,but remembered his promise to Heath and he also had this weird urge to see Edge now. He shook his head to clear it as he killed the engine,muttering to himself,"Wat 'as gatten into meh? I neh'd t' focus on Wade now...nat Eh’dge...even if 'e is quite...unique? Hah...rather attrah'cted t' 'im..." Drew smirked crookedly to himself as he got out of his car at the thought of the rather different looking Rated R Superstar,however,really liking Edge's alternative style.

Deciding to explore his newfound feelings later since he knew he left Edge flustered enough to remain curious,Drew made his way hurriedly into the hotel to make his way to the elevators and try to save his best friend from causing his own self destruction. Drew saw the number 3 flash in the elevator and shook slightly,he was frightened for once at what kind of condition he was going to find Wade in. The bell dinged and he was faced with room number 550 so he turned to the right, immediately seeing two figures huddled together in a heap towards the far end of the hallway. Drew sighed in slight sadness,"So...mus' beh Heath and Justin down dere...poor lil things...guess dere still loh'cked ow't..." He carefully approached them and saw with a sad smile on his face as he looked down at them,that they had fallen asleep in each other's arms,looking as though they had been crying. Before Drew could assess more,he heard a faint scream from within the room,along with the sound of something like glass breaking.

Drew again sighed in sadness,"Oh,Wade...yeh brake on th' owtsi'...wha' 'as ah'ready been broken on th' inside...eh,meh friend..? Wh'ell,yeh cah'nnot shut ah'll ow't....speh'cially meh...yeh know meh beh'tter den dat..." He smirked crookedly again at knowing that there was the very real possibility that when he went into that room,the Brit would either commence throwing stuff at him or would try to Wasteland him right out the goddamn window.

Drew,however,was more than willing to take that risk to save his best friend from himself. He took a deep breath and pulled a lock picker from his back pocket,muttering a jumbled prayer of,"If meh steps t' life end this day...leh't it nit beh in vain...t' save meh friend from 'imself...meh oh'nly last wish...last regret...wouh'd beh dat...I couh'dve 'ad th' chance t' tell mo ghra,Eh'dge...'ow I felt bout 'im...If this beh nit meh day t' end meh steps t' life...den I will tell 'im..."

That done,Drew did his best to concentrate on picking the lock and block out Wade's tormented screams from his ears. He felt the lock catch and knew he got it,smirking in victory. He eased the door open a crack and peeped in,still unsure about Wade's mental stability. Drew bit his lip to keep from crying out in fear at the sight of Wade curled up on the floor by the window, surrounded by the shards of what looked to be the remains of both the window and what used to be one of his favorite cups. Drew immediately crept in and shut the door softly behind him,re-locking it. He did not want Heath and Justin to walk in and see the man they looked up to as an almost father figure broken down like this. Drew knew that Wade did not like very many people to ever see his weaknesses, he was one of the very few allowed to even be this close to the former bare knuckle boxer and that was thanks to their past ties as The Empire in FCW.

Drew brushed aside the broken glass with his foot and silently knelt down next to his broken friend. His eyes carefully swept over Wade's body for any injury and only saw superficial cuts to his hands,glad with relief that there was none deeper. He noted with concern that Wade had gone into an eerie,catatonic silence and just laid his hand on his shoulder,murmuring softly to him,"Wade...it beh Drew...yeh know yeh kin nevar leck meh outta nowhere...I beh 'ere wit yeh now...it beh ok...I gat yeh...meh friend..." He saw Wade raise his head finally to look at him,dead eyes slightly sparking as he hoarsely whispered with fresh tears,"D...Drew...yah...cah'nt...see me...like this....yah cah'nt...pleah'se..." Drew gulped down tears,knowing he had to be strong for Wade and just held Wade's head up by his chin to continue to make him look at him,"I know...wat yeh mourn fer,Wade...wat yer 'eart yearh'ns fer...yeh miss Cena,doh'nt yeh? I 'eard from Eh'dge...an' I saw yeh wit 'is armban' t'...so,doh'nt lie t' meh,Wade...it be k' if yeh tell meh th' truth..."

He saw as Wade's eyes filled with tears again and he threw himself into his chest to sob out,"Goddah'mnit,Drew! I...I miss th' litteh bah'stard so...much!! I...I...I think...I loh've him,Drew...but...but...I cah'nt...do this...I CAH'NT!! 'E doh'nt feel th' sah'me fo' me! I'm jus' bein a bloody fool with a cah'se of wimp's dih'ease!" Drew sighed and wondered if he could get it through Wade's stubborn head that John was pining for him just as bad. Drew hugged his sobbing friend close and murmuring softly,"I know yeh do,Wade...and yehr nat a wimp nor a fool...now...'ow cah'n I perhaps coh'nvice yeh tha' Cena feels th' sah'me fo' yeh t'?" Wade looked up at him almost in anger,snapping out,"DOH'NT....TOY WITH ME LIKE THAT,DREW!! Aint no bloody wh'ay...ah'fter th' kinda arse...I've been t' 'im...that...'e loh'ves me...or misses my sorry arse..." Drew smirked,knowing Wade's anger was not really aimed at him,but mostly at Wade himself. He just murmured back softly,"Th' oh'nly wh'ay...t' git ovar yer fears,meh friend...is t' confrent them yehself...if neither meh,Eh’dge nor Orh’ton...kin convince yeh tha' Cena's missin yeh t'....then yeh gatta confrent 'im yerself when weh beh goin t' RAW..."

He felt as Wade instantly stiffened up in his arms,crying out,"I...I CAH'NT FAH'CE 'IM,DREW!!! DOH'NT YAH BLOODY UNDERSTAH'ND???" Drew sighed in mild frustration at Wade's stubbornness and grabbed Wade again to face him,shaking him slightly,"I 'ave nevar lied t' yeh,Wade...'nd I 'ave no reah'son t' now...Eh’dge told meh 'imself frem Orh'ton...dat...Cena...even kept yeh old Neh'xus stuff yeh gave 'im...and yeh know them two 're friends...'e beh missin yeh bad,Wade...otherwise...'e wouh'dntve kept 'em..." Wade looked at him with eyes sparking with slight hope,"'E...'e...did??...tha' meah'ns...'e saw my bloody noh'te t' 'im then...'e knows...'ow I feel bout 'im...I...told 'im...tha' 'es a pah'rt of me..." Drew smiled softly that Wade had already somewhat confessed to John in a unique way and murmured softly,"Then...leh'ts go seh 'im befere RAW starts,Wade...'e neh'ds yeh now,Wade...frem wat Orh'ton told Eh’dge...'e aint doin t' wh'ell either...go t' 'im,Wade and clah'im eah'ch other as yeh were meah'nt t' beh..."

Wade again looked up at him in fear,"J...John...c...cause of me...? Is...doin this too? I...did noh't know that...wh'ell...I shall be th' one...t' bloody fix him ah'gain...or ah't leah'st...mah'ybe...fix each other...yah...leh'ts go...I hope yah ah're all bloody right...or I will...Wastelah’nd yah all!" Drew nodded his head,"Ah'greed,meh friend...now...weh gatta wake up yehr litt'e crew...fell asleep...wah'itin on yeh ass!" Wade smiled sadly,"I was outta my mih'nd...was I noh't? Wh'ell...I geh't 'im bah'ck...fo' a litteh while ah't leah'st...so...there's that...me and John...cah'n woh'rk on us...lah'ter..." Drew hugged his friend and stood up,"Tha's 'ow yeh do it,Wade...Imma call...Eh’dge...e' beh worried sick bout me..I meh'an, yeh..." Wade stood up too and stared down his friend,"Oh,no yah dohn't,Drew...yah're blushin...th' bloody hell is goin on...? Yah 'ave a crush on Eh'dge,doh'nt yah??"

Wade smirked slightly as he saw Drew blush more heavily and proceeded to flip him off,"Feck off,Wade...yeh doh'nt 'ave t' teah'se meh....but...meh’be...I might'ave cah'lled 'im 'mo ghra' in meh nah'tive tongue...t' 'ide it frem 'im..." Wade looked at Drew in shock,"Drew...yah...cah'lled Eh'dge,'my loh've' in yahr Gaelic Irish...did yah noh't?" Drew turned his head away,murmuring out shyly,"Y...yeh,Wade...dat is wat I beh cah'llin 'im...dere's somethin bout 'im dat cah'lls t' meh,Wade...jus' like wit yeh and Cena...it beh th' sah'me ting..."

Now it was Wade's turn to blush as he thought about how much he seemed to crave John Cena,"I geh'uess yah goh't me there,Drew...yah bah'stard...eh'xploitin my weah'knesses...I oughta Wastelah'nd yahr arse fo' that...." Drew chuckled,"Heh...I jus' beh teh'llin th' truth,Wade...yeh know meh beh'tter...beh'sides...in tha' cah'se...den Eh'dge beh meh weah'kness t'..." Wade smiled softly and clapped Drew on the shoulder,"Veh'ry wh'ell then,Drew...leh't us both go and clah'im our loh'ves...leh'st we both suh'ffer moh're..." With that,Wade kicked aside the broken glass almost nonchalantly and disappeared into the bathroom. Drew shook his head in disbelief at his friend's weirdness while pulling his phone out,muttering,"Why I alweys beh th' one attrectin th' psychos??"
