This time of the year was never really the best time for me, all I could remember was a bunch of yelling, fighting, and drunk people running around causing a lot of chaos. But I wanted this year to be different, even though I wasn't able to spend Christmas with my parents, being around my close friends was always good for me.My mind was more focused on this match, then being focused on Christmas. I mean yes of course this is the time we celebrate the legacy and life of Jesus, but at this time I felt like I had more important issues at hand. I believe, I may not be a strong believer, but I do believe.I couldn't help but prepare myself for this match coming up, I was getting closer and closer to the Tag Team Titles and I knew that it would feel good to finally hold gold again, it may not be the title I wanted or expected but it was good enough. It's funny because a lot of people sit back and make comments and jokes about my sexual orientation, or how I present myself or what I went through during my time growing up and believe me my life was chaotic, but I never let it get the best of me.That's exactly why I'm the person I am today, I respect myself more now then I ever did because I put up with a lot of shit and I survived a lot of shit. There are so many demons in my past that it would take some time to get rid of them all, but If I continued moving in the right direction then I know that some day, I guess you would be able to say I could live a drama-free life.Location: Philadelphia, PA

Sean's Condo.
The scene opens up outside Sean's condo, Sean is shown standing on the outside smoking a cigarette and messing around with his phone. He looks up and notices a lady walking towards him, someone he hasn't seen a while. He slides his phone back into his pocket and walks toward the woman.
Sean: Wow, I cannot believe my eyes. [Smiles] Star, how have you been?
Star was a really good friend of mine, I wouldn't say "was." because we still are friends, maybe not as close as we use to. I hadn't spoken to Star since the federation she ran went under, nothing to bad, but I guess the finances and contracts wasn't in order so we were shut down, once the company went down, then I did to. I know for a fact she probably lost a good investment with the whole company, but at the end of the day Star is a strong woman, very responsible and it's always a good vibe when she comes around.Star reaches in Sean's hand grabbing the cigarette and tosses it to the ground, she smiles as the two embrace.
Star: I really don't want to smell like cigarette smoke when I go home.
Sean: [Smiles] It's fine girl, I remember you wasn't to cool about the whole cigarette thing, but don't worry I am trying to quit.
Star: You say that every time I see you.
Sean: And you never judged me.
Star: It's not my place to judge you Sean, you make your own decisions and own mistakes. But I know in due time you will finally realize that cigarettes will kill you, and in the whole wrestling atmosphere, smoking cigarettes is not good for you.
Star reminded me Mercedes, a wonderful person, but more of a mother figure.Star: So I hear you have a big match coming up?
Sean: How do you know?
Star: Well first, how about we go inside, its like 38 degrees out here and you know I do not like cold weather.
Sean smiles as he reaches for Star's hand, the two make their way inside his building and head for the elevator. She hits the 5th floor and the elevator doors closes behind him and up they go.
Location:Inside Sean's Condo
Sean opens the front door, allowing Star to walk in first, he makes his way over to the kitchen and lays his phone down on the counter. He turns and reaches for a glass out of the sink, fixing both him and Star a drink.
Sean: Don't worry, I made yours light.
Star looks at Sean and then at the cup.
Star: Is that alcohol? Sean? It's only 4:37!
Sean: It's not what you think Star, I've really slowed down on my drinking. I just haven't seen you in such a long time and I really would like to you know, have a little fun.
Star shrugs her shoulders reaching for the glass.
Star: Okay listen, we can take two shots and that's it.
Sean smiles and sits down on the couch beside Star, he turns and places his iPhone in the dock and plays some music.
Sean: I won't get you to drunk, I know your a mother now so of course we can't have you showing up at home drunk out your mind.
Star: It's been done before, but believe me I'm a far more better parent I am now then I was before.
Sean: Nothing was wrong with you before, I've always thought you were a good parent.
Star: I mean I'm not saying I was bad, but I don't think I was the greatest. But enough about me, how have you been? You gotta speed me up to what's going on and who your seeing and, I don't know, whatever else you want to tell me.
It made me feel good to sit here and talk to Star, we always haven't been the best of friends, but we got along and always cordial to each other. We both had our issues and in some way we dealt with them. I think Star was more upset with me because of how I lived my life, and don't get me wrong she had every right to be upset with me because during that time. I was heavy into drugs, especially cocaine and then my drinking was outrageous.
People always say I wanted attention, I just wanted someone to notice me. But it was never that, it was more of me screaming for help, screaming for someone to keep me from going down such a destructive path.
I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me either, I know the mistakes I've made and I know the consequences I have to deal with for those actions and that's fine. I never blamed anyone else for my issues other then myself and some of the family that caused them for me.
Fuck feeling sorry for me, I never wanted people to do that. These males wrestlers feel like just because I choose to lay down with a man instead of a woman, that it makes me a punk, it makes me a sissy, or I'm not good enough to lace these boots up and go kick some ass, but that's not the issue and it will never be the issue.
During my time in PDW, GXW, and even here. I've proven a lot of what I'm capable of, and I continue to do so. The opponents I'm up against in this match, have no idea what their in store for and honestly I'm not giving out any free passes, and I damn sure won't take it easy on anyone.
These are not threats, but more me saying how I feel, and most definitely speaking the truth. Back in GXW, I went a long time being undefeated and I plan on doing the same here in SCW, I guess the underdog wins again.
Tired of being beat by a Queer huh? I guess I should make that into a T-Shirt line or something, these people are so worried about my sexual orientation and whose dick I'm taking down my throat, instead of worrying about how their going to pin me or my partner and win this match.
All I know is, at the end of the day. The Tag Titles are mine and after I prove to everyone else and myself I'm capable of winning these titles, my next target is definitely the World Championship.2 Hours LaterLocation:Philadelphia, PA

Sean's Condo
The scene opens back up in Sean's condo, inside Sean is shown laying on the couch, Star makes her way out of the bathroom and back into the living room where Sean is sitting.
Star: I can't believe I let you talk me into smoking a blunt with you, I swear you are a bad influence. [Star giggles] But I still love you though.
Sean: You know you needed it, I haven't heard to much of what's been going on in your life but I know for a fact you needed that. You look so stressed, so I wanted to make sure before you went home that you felt.. [Pauses] nice!
Star: I feel real nice right now, I couldn't really hang and smoke the whole thing. I would leave that for you because you are the pro at getting high!
Sean laughs.
Sean: Since your back in Philly, we really need to hang out more.
Star nods.
Star: That would be nice, I really don't keep up to much with a lot of people that wrestled in PDW or even the friends I had made outside of the company, but I am happy that we were able to stay in contact.
Sean: You know where I live, I'm here in Philadelphia now and I should be here next year to but I plan on moving back to Los Angeles real soon.
Star: I am proud of you Sean, I remember back in PDW when you would come to the arena high and drunk out of your mind. Sometimes we would have to cancel your matches because you were to drunk to wrestle, but I never lost faith in you and I am so happy to see you doing better today.
Sean: If it wasn't for you, Synn, and Mercedes, I would probably be dead.
Star: I'm only a phone call away, remember that.
Star walks up to Sean kissing him on the cheek, she smiles as she heads for the door. She turns and waves to Sean one last time before walking out closing the door behind her.
It really felt good to have the opportunity to sit back and hang out with Star, she helped me through a lot when I was having my ups and down, especially when I was having issues with my family.
I owe Star a lot, but she never approached me about repaying anything, whether it was money or just favors that she went out her way to do for me. I have a family outside of this wrestling world and even if they aren't immediate or biological family, their family to me.
Without Star, Synn, and even Mercedes I don't know where I would be in this world right now, hell who knows if I would even be alive today.Knock... Knock
Sean turns and looks at the door, he jumps up from the couch and makes his way to the door and opens it.
: Can I come in?
Sean mouth drops and his eyes widen as he stands in the door way. He moves to the side as Brandon (His Younger Brother) walks through the door, the scene fades to black.
