 Chapter 1
What are you thankful for?
Thursday, November 25th 2010
Long Beach, California
It was the best meal of my entire life. I was once told that criminals on death row got to pick any last meal they wanted, before being put down. If I was in that situation, I would have Ashley remake our Thanksgiving dinner, just so I could enjoy it one last time before passing on.
Nick Ridicule
AMAZING!
We sit at kitchen counter, all of the food in the kitchen in front of us. A half eaten Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, all of it made by Ashley and that’s not even mentioning the appetizers she had made me throughout the course of the day. While I sat back and watched all the Rocky movies.
Ashley Matthews
Really, you enjoyed? I was so nervous you were going to hate everything.
I lean back in my chair and unbutton my pants. I was completely and totally stuffed, I couldn’t eat anymore if I tried.
Nick Ridicule
I wouldn’t have pigged out if it wasn’t the best meal I’ve ever had.
Ashley hugs me from her chair, then she grabs my plate and hers. She walks into the kitchen, pushing past the door and I watch her bring the plates to the sink.
Nick Ridicule
Thank you so much for making this day something special.
I get out of my chair and walk around the counter, then enter the kitchen. I join Ashley’s side in front of the sink and begin helping her do the dishes.
Ashley Matthews
You don’t have to help me, I can take care of them while you relax and watch TV.
Nick Ridicule
I would much rather stand here, help you clean up after you worked so hard all day, and talk about whatever you want to talk about.
I start to clean off a plate, running the sponge over it before rinsing it off. I hand the plate to Ashley, who dries it off and puts it on the counter, stacking it onto a plat she had previously washed.
Nick Ridicule
We can make clean up fun!
She giggles and I nudge her with my elbow as I wash a pan. Ashley nudges me back and I look at her with a smile.
Nick Ridicule
Love you!
I nudge her again and this time step to the side so she can’t nudge me back.
Ashley Matthews
Love you too!
She nudges me to the ribs with her elbow and we keep washing dishes.
Nick Ridicule
I enjoyed the video you made.
Ashley Matthews
We don’t have to talk about it. But just like the letter you sent me when I told you not to call me, I needed to make this video even though we agreed to drop it.
Nick Ridicule
Well, I’m glad you made it.
Ashley Matthews
Wait, really?
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, it was a really good reminder.
Ashley Matthews
That’s great!
We keep cleaning the dishes.
Nick Ridicule
So babe, where did you learn to cook like that? I mean, everything was tremendous. Those deviled eggs were to die for.
Ashley Matthews
I’m going to have to cook for you more often. We’re usually on the road so I never even think about getting food to make you.
Nick Ridicule
I would love it. I would much rather have you making my food than restaurants or room service.
Ashley Matthews
I’ll make you anything you want, whenever you want.
We continue to wash the dishes together.
Nick Ridicule
So… where did you learn to cook?
Ashley Matthews
Oh, right. Well, the Jameson’s used to force me to cook for them, clean for them. That’s pretty much all I was to them. Whenever I didn’t do something, or didn’t do something good enough they would hit me, or scream at me..
She never answered the question when I originally asked, but now I understood why. I turn off the sink and look at Ashley.
Nick Ridicule
They had no idea what they were missing by treating you that way. They had the most special and amazing person in the world living with them and they didn't even appreciate it. It's a real shame.
Ashley and I hug in the middle of the small kitchen.
Nick Ridicule
Thank you so much for spending today with me.
Ashley Matthews
I wouldn’t want to spend it with anyone else.
We continue to hug, until I feel her hand enter my back pocket. She pulls out her picture and looks at it.
Ashley Matthews
Awwww, you still carry this thing around?
Nick Ridicule
Always!
Ashley Matthews
What happened to it?
We both look at the picture, a burn mark on the lower right corner.
I remember exactly how it happened. I take the picture from Ashley, the put it on the fridge and put a magnet on it so it stays there. I hold out my hand and Ashley grabs it. I pull her out of the kitchen and we walk into the living room and have a seat on the coach.
Ashley Matthews
Story time?
Nick Ridicule
Yup.
Ashley Matthews
Yay!
Ashley snuggles up close to me on the couch, resting her head on my lap, putting my hand on her heart. She looks up at me as I sit back on the couch, looking down at her.
Nick Ridicule
Comfy?
Ashley Matthews
Yeah, I am.
Nick Ridicule
Ready for a story?
Ashley Matthews
I definitely am.
Nick Ridicule
It happened that day in Long Beach, the day you came for an unexpected visit. You told me not to talk to you, not to visit, pretty much to stop fighting for us, since I left Bad Company. So I sent you that letter and there you were at my front door…
Wedding Crashes: Creating another diversion
Sunday, October 24th 2010
Long Beach, California
My heart was racing as I saw you standing there. I could only imagine what was going through your head, after seeing my friend Arianny leaving here.
Ashley Matthews
What the FUCK, was that Mexican bitch doing coming out of your condo? You had sex with her, didn’t you?
Nick Ridicule
NO! All we did was talk, then she left!
That’s when I remembered I still had the picture of her in my hand. I tried to slip it into my pocket, without you noticing, but you were too aware.
Ashley Matthews
What the hell is that then?
You snatched the picture from my hand and looked at it.
Ashley Matthews
What the hell is this then?
I took the picture back and walked to the kitchen with It, quickly pushing through the door. You followed me though and kept trying to snatch the picture from me. I put it in a drawer and blocked it.
Nick Ridicule
Ashley please, you have to trust me.
Ashley Matthews
Trust you? After the last few months? After the cheating, the lying, and now this, I’m supposed to trust you?
I know things looked bad, but I tried to keep a good head about the whole thing, hoping you would come around.
Nick Ridicule
I know Ashley, but think about it, is any of the stuff that happened, really me? Would the Nick Ridicule you fell in love with last year, do any of the things you’ve watched me do over the last three months?
Ashley Matthews
No, you’ve completely changed..
Nick Ridicule
Well, now I’m asking you to see through this side of me, the same way I saw through this side of your dad. You just have to believe in me, no matter how hard it is, and trust that I know what I’m doing!
You had the most reluctant look on your face, not that I blame you.
Ashley Matthews
I’m here aren’t I?
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, and it had told me everything I need to know about you. You came after me for once, you decided not to run away from our problems and hide.
Ashley Matthews
I really want things to work out, but I’m not sure they ever will if you don’t join Bad Company… or if you lose to Bad Company at City of Evil next week, and have to retire. Is that your plan? Are you planning to lose on purpose?
Nick Ridicule
You’ll find out.
Ashley Matthews
I’m not going to watch, I told you I wouldn’t watch you be massacred!
Nick Ridicule
Good, don’t watch. Instead, lets make a date.
Ashley Matthews
A date?
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, how about after City of Evil we get together and talk. I’ll tell you all about my secret plan, everything you want to know.
Ashley Matthews
Really?
I nodded my head, but still you didn’t seem to believe me. I felt bad not being able to tell you everything, but I couldn’t risk you going to Bad Company with any info I gave you.
Ashley Matthews
Fine.. But I can’t see you or talk to you until this is over!
Nick Ridicule
I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t want you with me right now Ashley. I want you with the man you fell in love with and that’s just not me anymore. For now. But I promise you that if you can just make it to city of evil, hold that faith you have in me a little bit longer, everything will work out for the best.
You wrapped your arms around me, hugging me tight.
Ashley Matthews
I hope you’re right.
Nick Ridicule
I know I am.
That’s when I heard the drawer open. Before I could do or say anything, you had broken the hug, with the picture in your hand. You ran out of the kitchen and into the bedroom ,where I followed quickly. You stood at the foot of the bed as I made it to the bedroom door.
Nick Ridicule
What are you doing?
Ashley Matthews
Making sure you wait until City of Evil, just like me.
You began to rip the picture up into pieces, then the held the remains in your hands and blew them at me. I watched as all the pieces fell to the floor, then looked at you.
Nick Ridicule
Nicely done.
Ashley Matthews
Looks like she wont be getting a call!
Nick Ridicule
You know she’s the ring girl for the UFC right?
Ashley Matthews
Looks like I’m going to have to be at all your UFC fights then!
You stuck your tongue out at me, then walked out of the bedroom stepping on the pieces of torn picture on the floor. You walked past me and made a noise with your tongue as you past me by. I followed you out to the front door.
Nick Ridicule
You missed my debut against Tito…
Ashley Matthews
Did I? Or did you just not see me there?
You opened the front door to the condo and stood in the doorway, looking at me. The sun from outside lit up your face, making you look so beautiful.
Nick Ridicule
Well, you weren’t in the seat I had reserved for you. I looked over so many times before, during, and after the fight only to see Jason, KID, and Corey. I was sad.
Ashley Matthews
Just because I didn’t want you to know I was there supporting you, and because I didn’t want to sit with Jason, KID, and Corey, doesn’t mean I wasn’t there.
You gave me a clever look and it put a smile on my face.
Nick Ridicule
I know this is going to sound corny, but I could feel your presence there.
Ashley Matthews
No wonder you kicked so much ass.
Nick Ridicule
Ashley, I know things have been hard between us, but I want you to know this, and always know this. I love you more than anyone, always have and I always will.
You smiled, and even blushed a little bit. It was like somewhere down the line we forgot how much we mean to each other.
Ashley Matthews
I love you too. I can’t wait until this is all over, like you said.
We stood at the doorway, awkwardly waiting for the other to make a move. I stare at you, you stared back at me. You then moistened your lips with your tongue and that was all the sign I needed to move in. I lower my head down to kiss you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley sits up, taking her head off my lap, then scooting close to me. I wrap my arm around her and she wraps both her arms around me. She presses her face against my chest, over my heart.
Ashley Matthews
I remember that day, can you believe it has been a month?
Nick Ridicule
Wow, I didn’t even realize it, but you’re right.
Ashley Matthews
I guess you were right though, we’re back together, and even though the plan was stupid, things have never been better, right?
Nick Ridicule
Right. I’m as happy now as I’ve ever been.
Ashley Matthews
Me too. Keep going.
Nick Ridicule
Ok, where was I?
Ashley Matthews
You were about to kiss me.
I kiss Ashley. She giggles the entire time, until we finally pull apart.
Ashley Matthews
I meant in the story, but that’s ok.
I smile wide and continue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I could kiss you, my phone began to go off.
[I can't wait for you to shut me up]
[And make me hip like bad ass]
[I can't wait for you to shut me up]
[Shut it up]
I stopped only an inch away from your lips, then pulled back and reached into my pocket, pulling out my phone.
Nick Ridicule
One second, ok?
You nodded your head and I answered the phone.
Nick Ridicule
Hello?
Jason Hawk
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!? WE’RE STILL WAITING FOR YOU!
I had completely forgot about Jason and the rest of the Dark Knights waiting for me at the All Star Arena.
Nick Ridicule
I’ll be there soon, show some fucking patience.
Jason Hawk
HURRY UP! CALL ME WHEN YOU GET TO THE ARENA SO I KNOW WHERE AND WHEN TO MEET YOU!
Nick Ridicule
Why are you screaming?
Jason Hawk
BECAUSE YOU’RE STILL NOT HERE, SO YOU MUST NOT HAVE HEARD ME WHEN I TOLD YOU TO GET HERE AS SOON AS YOU CAN!
Nick Ridicule
As soon as I can, I haven’t been able to make it over there yet!
I hung up the phone on him and slipped it into my pocket.
Nick Ridicule
Fucking idiots.
Ashley Matthews
Let me guess, Jason or Corey?
I smiled at you, who was leaning against the front door.
Nick Ridicule
Jason.. They need me for some kind of meeting. Ashley, you know I didn’t start this group right? I wasn’t planning on leaving Bad Company.
Ashley Matthews
I’m not so sure about that, but why? Why would you leave Bad Company, to join the Douche Knights?
I laughed pretty hard. I had been calling them the Duck Knights or the Decoy Knights the entire time, but the Douche Knights were just as fitting.
Nick Ridicule
It was the only way to get my plan back on track. No matter which decision I made, I was going to let someone down…
Ashley Matthews
Well Nick… Maybe you should stop letting the wrong people down. Because if you do, eventually you wont be able to fix everything.
You were completely right. I assumed you were talking about yourself, all the times I had let you down in order to achieve something else. I made me feel bad, but I knew it would just be a matter of time before I was my old self again.
Ashley Matthews
Anyway, I should go home.
You kissed my cheek and waved goodbye to me, then stepped out of the condo and walked down the path. I looked around the apartment to see if I needed anything, but you were already so far ahead, that I just said fuck it and tried to catch up to you.
Nick Ridicule
Ashley, hold up a second.
I quickly caught up as you walked down the path.
Nick Ridicule
Do you need cab fare or anything?
Ashley Matthews
I’m fine, I rented a car for the time I was here. I have a flight to catch later tonight that will take me back home to Tennessee.
Nick Ridicule
Well, I’ll see you next week then?
Ashley Matthews
Yeah, right after City of Evil.
I didn’t know what else to say, or do.
Nick Ridicule
Bye Ashley.
We made it to the end of the walkway, where it broke off into two separate paths. One leading to the guest parking area, the other leading out to the main road.
Ashley Matthews
See you soon, Nick.
We gave each other a final glance, a final partial smile, then we went our separate ways. I could feel my throat starting to hurt, my eyes wanting to tear up, but I managed to hold it all back, stuff it down no matter how much I wanted to just break down.
Nick Ridicule
Just be strong a little while longer… you can make it…
I mumble to myself as I finally make it out to the main strip. I see a taxi driving by and I hold my arm up. It passes me by and as it does I see that he had customers already in the back. Eventually a cab stopped to pick me up and I got in.
Nick Ridicule
All Star Arena in LA.
He gave me a simple nod, reached over to start the fare, then drove much slower than any other car.
Nick Ridicule
Listen, I give good tips for getting me to my destination faster.
The language of the cab driver, cash. He sped up and managed to get me to the arena in no time, under ten dollars on the fare. I dropped a twenty dollar bill over the seat, then got out of the cab and walk to the arena. I have a seat on the steps outside the front of the arena, then I pull my phone out and call Jason.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley adjusted to my lap, throwing her legs over my legs, then scooting over until she’s on top of me. She kisses me, then pulls back and looks at me.
Ashley Matthews
I missed you so much the rest of that day. I wrote in my diary nonstop throughout the entire plane ride, then when I got home, I kept writing.
I look down, then I look at her.
Nick Ridicule
I read your diary once, you said I said some of the corniest things you’ve ever heard.
Her over joyous look, changes to a serious glance.
Ashley Matthews
You looked inside my diary?
Nick Ridicule
Just once! I’m sorry!
Ashley Matthews
It’s alright, I just wish you would have read something from one of the hundreds of other pages about you, instead of that.
Nick Ridicule
Well, maybe you should read me some of those pages sometime.
She sticks her tongue out at me and I return fire by sticking my tongue out at her. She moves in, licking my tongue before kissing me. She bites my tongue, then tries to suck it out of my mouth, before stopping and resting her head on my shoulder again.
Ashley Matthews
Keep going or we’ll end up doing something else and I’ll never find out how my picture got burnt.
I open my eyes and look at her, wishing she wouldn’t have stopped kissing me.
Nick Ridicule
Huh? Oh… Guess we’ll have dessert after story time.
I clear my throat, then continue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ummmmmm… Oh yeah, I called Jason up.
Nick Ridicule
Pick up you little shit..
Nothing but the dial tone, until eventually..
Jason Hawk
What’s up?
Nick Ridicule
Finally, how the hell are you going to call me several times, then not…
Jason Hawk
JOKES! This is the answering machine, you’ve reached the phone of the ONE, the ONLY, the KEY TO EXTRAORDINARY, JASON… BEEP!
I hang up before I have to leave a message, then I stare at my phone.
Nick Ridicule
Thefuck?
I press the talk button twice, redialing him.
Nick Ridicule
Pick up the phone you little fucker!
After a few dial tones, finally I got an answer.
Jason Hawk
What’s up?
Nick Ridicule
FINALLY! That has got to be the most annoying message recording I’ve….
Jason Hawk
JOKES! This is the answering machine, you’ve reached the phone of the ONE, the ONLY, the KEY TO EXTRAORDINARY, JASON… BEEP!
I put my face in my palm, trying not to get too annoyed. I decide to leave him a message, after taking a few breaths to calm myself.
Nick Ridicule
I’m here at the arena… WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!?
I hang up the phone and see several people staring at me as they walk by, a few people staring at me from a nearby bus stop. I put my phone on my lap, then run my hands through my unspiked hair. I pick up the phone and call Jason Hawk a third time.
Nick Ridicule
I’m going back home..
After a few more dial tones.
Jason Hawk
What’s up?
I stood up and started to walk toward the street. I was going to catch a cab back home, then go through with the plan by myself.
Jason Hawk
HELLO? ANYONE THERE!? Who the hell calls someone, then doesn’t say anything.
Turns out it wasn’t his answering machine this time.
Nick Ridicule
That has to be the most annoying answering message I’ve ever heard.
Jason Hawk
I’M THE UNDISPUTED ANNOYING CHAMPION! DUH!
I stop and watch as a cab drives down the road, stopping at a nearby red light.
Nick Ridicule
Where the hell are you? If you guys aren’t here in the next minute, I’m going back home.
That’s when Jason jumped on my back.
Jason Hawk
HERE I AM!
I hung up my phone as he slid off my back, then I put it into my pocket. I turned to look at him, an angry look on my face from having to deal with his overly annoying bullshit all day.
Nick Ridicule
Where is everyone?
Jason Hawk
Oh, we’re not really meeting at the arena, that was just something we had to tell you in order to take you to the real meeting spot.
Nick Ridicule
Real meeting spot?
Jason Hawk
THE KAT BOX!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley Matthews
The Kat Box? What the hell is that?
I look at Ashley as the story stops inside my head.
Nick Ridicule
Oh, uh.. Kat opened up her own club, it used to be the Legacy Bar. Then Aaron O’Shea took over and used the bar for CZW shows in Los Angeles. I guess he failed and it was put back on sale, Kat bought it with the money we made for KatatoNick and started a night club.
Ashley Matthews
Special her.
I laugh a little bit as Ashley crosses her arms and looks to the left, away from me.
Nick Ridicule
You’re not jealous are you?
Ashley Matthews
NO! Gross.. She was with Alison! You’re lucky I found it in my heart to ever forgive you!
I grind my teeth and shake my head, nodding. I take Ashley’s arm, pulling it away from her other one, then take her by the hand.
Nick Ridicule
You’re right, I am.
She turns and looks at me, a tear in her eye.
Ashley Matthews
I have nothing to be jealous about!
Nick Ridicule
You’re right, you’re perfect, Ashley. I’m sorry I ever forgot that.
I wipe the tear from her eye and she hugs me tight, placing her chin on my shoulder. She whispers into my ear.
Ashley Matthews
I’m not perfect…
Nick Ridicule
You are to me. That’s all that matters.
I hug her even tighter, so happy to have her with me.
Nick Ridicule
Do you want me to keep going?
She inhales, then wipes her eyes.
Ashley Matthews
Yeah, keep talking.
Ashley lays down and rests her head on my lap. I run my fingers through her hair, then tuck it behind her ear so I can see her face.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I reluctantly went with Jason to the Kat Box, where KID, Corey and Kat were all waiting. Jason drove us over and we went inside. I had only ever been to the Kat Box once, during the grand opening. Ashes of a Fallen Son played the KatatonNick CD.
Jason Hawk
Kat told me she couldn’t wait to see you. When are the two of you finally going to hook up?
Nick Ridicule
Never.
We walk to the door and the bouncer puts his hand in Jason’s chest.
Jason Hawk
Do you have to start shit with me every time I come here? YOU WATCHED ME LEAVE TEN MINUTES AGO! I TOLD YOU THAT I WAS GOING TO BRING NICK RIDICULE HERE!
The bouncher takes his hand off of Jason’s chest and opens the door. We walked by him and he held his hand up for me and gave me a high five.
“What‘s up Mr. Ridicule, how‘s it been going sir?”
Nick Ridicule
It’s been going. Slowly getting closer to where I need to be.
“That‘s good to hear, you seemed like a mess during the grand opening.”
Nick Ridicule
I was a mess.
“Good to see you doing better man!”
Jason Hawk
OH COME ON! You’re always an asshole to me, but you treat Nick here like he’s the owner of the place!
“You‘re a little piece of shit! An annoying little cracka who talks too much, and doesn‘t know when to shut the fuck up!”
Jason Hawk
FUCK YOU! I’m telling Kat on you! She’ll fire you and you’ll go back to “da hood” where you came from!
“FUCK YOU!”
I stepped between them, to keep the bouncer from eating Hawk.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley laughs hard.
Ashley Matthews
I would have paid to see that. Then burn the place to the ground.
Nick Ridicule
Damn Ashley, harsh.
Ashley Matthews
Just because you’re friends with her, doesn’t mean I have to be. Same goes for Hawk.
Nick Ridicule
I’m not too sure I’m friends with Hawk, or Kat for that matter. I’m trying to change my life back, in order to do that I need to be with people who are positive influences on me.
Ashley Matthews
I’m happy to hear that.
Nick Ridicule
You, Brandon and Anna are the best people I know.
Ashley Matthews
I’m still not completely over him lying to me in Bad Company.
Nick Ridicule
Ashley, we didn’t know you were going to be a part of Bad Company when the plan was made. Please, forgive and forget? Brandon is a good guy, one of the best.
Ashley Matthews
Fine.
Nick Ridicule
Great, I’ll continue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We entered the club after the short dispute between Jason and the bouncer.
Jason Hawk
So you’ve been here before?
Nick Ridicule
Yeah.
Jason Hawk
COOL BEANS!
I grabbed Jason by his shoulder, before we could step out onto the floor of the club.
Nick Ridicule
Why are you screaming so much?
Jason Hawk
We all got really stoned with Kat. She’s been talking about you the entire time, she loves you so much it’s hilarious. Ashley can’t BEAT THAT!
Nick Ridicule
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
We stepped out onto the club floor. Pink and purple lights shined down on everything. Logo’s for the Kat Box were everywhere, on practically everything. A black cat rubbing up against a stripper pole, classy logo.
Nick Ridicule
Where is everyone?
I look over to the stage where KID danced with one of the Kitty Kat girls. I look over to the bar where Corey Casey is having a drink. He lifted his glass to me, then turned back around in his chair.
Nick Ridicule
Where is Kat?
I feel someone jump up to my back, placing their hands over my eyes, blocking my view.
Katrina Costick
Guess who?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley Matthews
Bitch stole my game!
Nick Ridicule
EXACTLY!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I leaned forward, letting her slide to my shoulder, then I flipped her down, landing her on her feet in front of me. She quickly spun around and hugged me.
Nick Ridicule
Hi Kat.
Katrina Costick
It’s so good to see you.
She gave me a look, looking me up and down.
Katrina Costick
You look a lot better than the last time I saw you.
Nick Ridicule
Thanks.
Katrina Costick
Come to my office, I’ll smoke you out.
She grabs my hand and tries to pull me towards her office, but I stand firm. She stops and looks at me.
Nick Ridicule
No thanks, I don’t do that anymore.
Katrina Costick
Cut the self-righteous bullshit and come have a smoke with me in my office.
We have a stare down, interrupted by Jason who stares at the two of us.
Jason Hawk
Are you two gonna kiss?
Katrina Costick
I wish, but sadly it seems Nick Ridicule’s balls have left the building.
Jason Hawk
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BURN!!!!!!
KID jumps down from the stage onto the nearest table, then he flips off of it and lands near us.
The Notorious K.I.D
That was a serious burn!
I flip off KID, then Jason.
Nick Ridicule
Says the two guys who lost their girlfriends to other men. One of them to a guy in a wheelchair.
I look at KID.
The Notorious K.I.D
Why you gotta break balls?
Nick Ridicule
The other who lost his girl to the sex icon.
I look at Jason. He shakes his head and flips me off.
Jason Hawk
DON’T BRING TAYLOR INTO THIS!
Nick Ridicule
We all make mistakes..
I look at Kat, staring her full in the face. She smirked back at me, a devilish smile.
Nick Ridicule
I’m looking at mine.
The smirk is quickly removed from her face. She rolls her eyes and walks over to a table, then has a seat.
Katrina Costick
Whatever, have a seat, or are you too good for that too?
I sat down at the table with her, followed by KID and Jason who sat down with us. I look over to see Corey finish off a drink, then stand up. He walks over and joins us at the table, looking at me.
Corey Casey
We’ve got an idea for City of Evil.
Nick Ridicule
I’ve already got plans, not only that, but I have plans that the Dark Knights can help me with.
Corey Casey
Good, cause our idea for City of Evil was pretty lame.
Jason Hawk
HEY! I CAME UP WITH OUR PLAN FOR CITY OF EVIL!
KID looks at me.
The Notorious K.I.D
Like he said, lame!
Nick Ridicule
So you guys don’t have anything?
Corey Casey
Nope.
The Notorious K.I.D
We’ve got you!
Katrina Costick
That’s enough to beat anyone. You have superman on your side.
Kat stares across the table at me, penetrating me with her eyes. She smiles at me as I look back at her, until I break our glance to look at Corey. Before I can tell him anything, Jason is quick to jump in.
Jason Hawk
My plan was awesome! We go to City of Evil on horses, then we come out during the main event and break into the God’s Playground to help you out!
Corey Casey
That’s not even a plan at all, that’s just you saying random things.
I slam my fist down on the table, getting everyone’s attention.
Nick Ridicule
Biggie Mac is having his wedding the day before City of Evil. Everyone is going to be there, all of Bad Company.
Corey Casey
So…?
Nick Ridicule
So we’re going to invade the wedding, raise hell like the Dark Knights should do! Then we’re going to take his wife from him, and use her for a Live or Die Match.
Corey Casey
YES! I knew you wouldn’t make a match like a five on one inside God’s Playground, without having something huge planned!
Jason Hawk
You want us to kidnap his wife? Will we get to rough up his guests?
Nick Ridicule
You’ll be able to do whatever you want to do. Just as long as you get Anna, that’s the main goal.
Katrina Costick
What if she’s guarded? How are you going to separate the man from his wife?
Nick Ridicule
They’ll leave that to me. I think I create a diversion long enough for them to get her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley lifts her head from my lap and shifts around on the couch. She puts her feet on my lap and lays her head down on a pillow. She stretches out, fully extended on the couch.
Ashley Matthews
So no one knew that it was Anna and Brandon who came up with this plan?
Nick Ridicule
Nope, they thought it was me who came up with it. They had no idea that the night before I got a call from Brandon. We went over the plan several times before I even told the Dark Knights.
Ashley Matthews
Interesting. Keep going, and can you rub my feet?
She smiles wide at me and I begin to rub her feet.
Nick Ridicule
It’s the least I could do after you spent all day cooking for me.
I rub her feet making her moan.
Ashley Matthews
That feels so good. When you’re done with the story, it’ll be time for dessert.
We smile at each other. She winks at me and I continue to work on her feet, trying to remember where I left off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick Ridicule
If we have Anna, we’ll put her inside the chamber at City of Evil, Biggie will be forced to side with me to take down Bad Company, in order to protect his wife.
Corey Casey
Brilliant! You’ll win and take over the NLWF, then we’ll all be free again!
Jason Hawk
No more Bad Company to get in our way!
The Notorious K.I.D
FUCK YEAH!
I looked at all of them, eating out of the palm of my hand. They had no idea what was going to happen at City of Evil.
Katrina Costick
You’re lying.
I look at Kat, resting her chin on her fists, staring at me.
Nick Ridicule
What?
Katrina Costick
I’m not sure I can make it much clearer. YOU… ARE… LYING! About something, I’m not sure. What is it Nick? You gonna walk these guys into some kind of trap? You still a member of Bad Company, working undercover to destroy the Dark Knights from the inside?
She had no idea how close she was to knowing the truth.
Nick Ridicule
What the hell are you talking about?
Katrina Costick
I can always tell when you’re lying about something, I’m just not sure what you’re lying about right now.
Corey looks across the table at Jason and KID, giving them a concerned look.
Nick Ridicule
Listen I’m not part of Bad Company, I quit to help you idiots out! I could have just abandoned you all, taken the easy route!
Katrina Costick
What are you hiding then?
I stood up, putting my fists down on the table, leaning across, staring at her.
Nick Ridicule
NOTHING!
She stands up and walks around the table, touching Jason, then KID on the top of the head. She stands next to me and leans down on the table with me, looking at me.
Katrina Costick
Oh really? Then what is….
She quickly reaches into my back pocket and pulls out the picture of you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley Matthews
THAT BITCH!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick Ridicule
GIVE THAT BACK TO ME!
She runs around the table with it. I Try to chase after her, but Corey Casey grabs my shirt and pulls me down to my seat. I sit down and look at him, then at Kat who takes her seat, then shows everyone the picture.
Corey Casey
So… Are you a member of Bad Company or are you a Dark Knight?
Everyone around the table stared at me, it’s like they were all just waiting for me to tell them I was a member of Bad Company, trying to destroy them all.
Nick Ridicule
You want the truth?
I look at all the nodding heads.
Nick Ridicule
Neither. I’m not part of Bad Company and I’m not a part of the Dark Knights. But I do believe you guys deserve to be treated the way Bad Company is treating people who join them. I don’t think you should be outlawed or punished for being who you are.
I stand up and hold my hand out, wanting my picture back from Kat.
Nick Ridicule
Just trust me, after City of Evil you’ll all be free at last. Bad Company will be gone. The Dark Knights will be gone. We’ll be able to fight the world, the way we want to fight.
I stare at Kat, even though I was talking to the guys. She holds out the picture and I try to grab it, but she quickly pulls it away and stands up.
Katrina Costick
If you want your precious little picture back, you have to come and talk to me in my office.
I roll my eyes, then I nod my head. She smiles and turns around, then walks across the empty club floor to her office. It was still pretty early in the day, so the place wasn’t open yet. I go to walk around the table to follow her, but Corey stands up and grabs my shirt.
Corey Casey
If you screw me or any of us over, I’ll make sure I remove your head.
Nick Ridicule
When this is all over, you and everyone else is going to thank me. I guarantee it.
I push his hand away, then walk past him. I walk across the floor, following Kat who makes it to her office, opening the door, and disappearing inside. The place was pretty foggy from the smoke machines, or maybe from them smoking pot. I made it to her office and opened the door.
Katrina Costick
Nicky, Nicky, Nicky, what am I going to do with you?
Nick Ridicule
Give me back my picture of Ashley, I hope.
I enter her office and look at her, sitting on the front of her desk, her legs spread open. She was wearing a tight pair of jeans, but the way she was looking at me, told me her intentions pretty clearly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley Matthews
WHORE!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Katrina Costick
Sit down, tell me how you’ve been, lets smoke.
Nick Ridicule
I’ve been fine, working out, training nonstop. No thanks, I don’t do that anymore.
She spins around her desk, then scoots across and drops down into her chair.
Katrina Costick
I haven’t seen you in a couple weeks, I miss you.
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, well… You know how my life has been since August.
Katrina Costick
Ever since we made our little secret.
Nick Ridicule
Right. By the way, someone told me you’ve been hanging out with Jason a lot. You haven’t told him, have you?
Katrina Costick
I’m a girl of my word. I told you that I would never tell anyone, and I meant it. No matter how much I wish I could tell everyone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley Matthews
What secret? You mean that the two of you had sex?
I swallow hard, continuing to rub Ashley’s feet.
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, something like that. I’ll tell you when the story is done.
Ashley Matthews
Uh, ok.
A bit of worry takes over me. Ashley put herself out on the line by making that video, now I needed to do the same. I needed to tell her the secret I had been hiding. Just not yet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat down on the chair in front of her desk.
Nick Ridicule
Can I please have my picture back? Why are you always trying to start trouble?
Katrina Costick
I don’t ever start trouble, trouble always finds me.
Nick Ridicule
Regardless, you don’t have to be such an antagonist all the time. I remember when we first met, you were nothing like this.
Katrina Costick
And you were nothing like this! People change, it’s just a part of life. One that you can’t seem to ever get past. You changed, Ashley changed, now the two people who were so compatible last year, can’t even be in the same room together this year.
Nick Ridicule
You’re right, people change, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to change back, or change to improve yourself.
Katrina Costick
Or change to prove a point? Like you!?
Nick Ridicule
Listen, I don’t have to defend myself or any of the things I’ve done. Especially to you. Just give me what I’m after and I can leave.
Katrina Costick
Take what you’re after and leave, that does sound like you.
Nick Ridicule
You’re such a bitch sometimes!
Katrina Costick
Oh, is that so? The same can be said about you!
Nick Ridicule
I didn’t come in here to argue with you, I came in here to get my picture back.
Kat clears off her desk.
Katrina Costick
Make love to me on this table, and you can have your picture back.
I shake my head.
Nick Ridicule
Not a chance.
Katrina Costick
Such a boy scout. You’re not even with her anymore, yet she still has your balls!
I rolled my eyes, sitting back in the chair. She wasn’t going to sucker me into anything, especially with reverse psychology.
Katrina Costick
Now I have to think of something else I was, in exchange for your beloved picture of Ashley.
Nick Ridicule
What do you want? I’m not having sex with you, kissing you, or even hugging you. So you can just drop that bullshit right now.
She wasn’t happy about it, judging by the look on her face. But she managed to replace the look quickly, with that same evil grin.
Katrina Costick
Lets smoke, just like we used too. Just like the first day we met, remember?
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, I remember. I wish I could forget, I wish I could go back in time to tell Alison not to draft the former members Zombiehead to my show, but what’s done is done.
She opened her drawer and pulled out a bag of weed, dropping it on the table.
Katrina Costick
Don’t say such hurtful things. We all had some really great times together. The only thing that ever changed was you trying to involve Ashley in everything you do.
Nick Ridicule
Why the hell wouldn’t I involve Ashley?
Katrina Costick
Because she didn’t want to be a part of any of it. She didn’t want you hanging out with us. I mean, from the second she met us all, she judged us immediately.
Nick Ridicule
That’s not true.
Katrina Costick
It is, you just don’t view it that way.
Nick Ridicule
Take a look at everything I went through after meeting you all, then say that to me again. My music career put a huge strain on my already hurting relationship with Ashley! The drugs, the partying, the touring, none of that fixed anything, it just pulled the rug over it!
She opened the bag and pulled some weed out, then placed it on the table and began to break it apart with her fingers.
Katrina Costick
Tell you what, you smoke with me and I’ll give you your picture of Ashley back.
She pulled out a piece of rolling paper and set it down on the table. With her hand, she brushed the broken up buds into the joint, then lifted it, licked the top and rolled it.
Nick Ridicule
I smoke that joint with you and you’ll give me my picture back, I can leave?
Katrina Costick
Yup, just this one little joint. You know it’ll make you feel better too, you’re so uptight right now it’s hilarious. Just like the first day I set my eyes on you.
Such a pick up line if I’ve ever heard one. I roll my eyes, not letting her butter me up. Kat was the best at stroking anyone’s ego. She could make even the biggest loser in the world feel like something special. She holds out the join, but I shook my head.
Nick Ridicule
Ladies first.
I took the lighter, as she placed the joint in her mouth, then I ignited the flame, blazing the tip. She inhaled a few times, then blew smoke rings at me.
Katrina Costick
You’re such a good guy. I’ve really enjoyed watching you be a bad boy these last three months. Can you believe things happened the way that they have?
Nick Ridicule
Not really. I was expecting things to be a lot different. But I guess that’s why I do this. It’s the most unpredictable job and lifestyle in the world.
Katrina Costick
Here…
She takes another few puffs, then holds out the joint. I stare at it for a few seconds, then I reach out and take it from her hand. I bring it to my mouth and place it between my lips.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley Matthews
Such a bad influence on you! She always has been, that’s why I’m happy you said you weren’t friends with her anymore. With friends like that, who needs enemies?
Nick Ridicule
You’re right.
Ashley Matthews
She was always doing that too, always trying to create that separation to bring you off your center.
Nick Ridicule
Yeah.. Anyway. I had been detoxing and working out so hard without any drugs in my system for over a month, so as soon as I took a hit, I was FUCKED up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I took a few puffs, then immediately started to cough.
Katrina Costick
Awww, that’s so cute. Look at you choking, it’s like seeing you with virgin lungs all over again!
She laughed and joked, making funny of me who was ready to cough out a lung. I held up the joint, still coughing, then felt as she took it away from me. I leaned forward, resting my head on my arms on her desk. My eyes were tearing up and I’m sure I had Asian eyes.
Katrina Costick
The only time I ever saw you cough this much was the first time you smoked.
Nick Ridicule
Give me the picture back.
Katrina Costick
Yeah right! We still have half a joint to smoke. A deal is a deal, even with a dirty dealer.
I looked up at her through my watery, bloodshot eyes. She took another hit from the joint and held it out to me. I took it and quickly brought it to my mouth, then took a monster drag, bringing it down from the middle until only a roach remained.
Katrina Costick
Thunder lungs!
I exhaled it out and started to cough again. Kat took the remains of the join from my hand, holding up the small roach that was left. She took a couple puffs from it and dropped it into the ashtray.
Katrina Costick
How are you feeling? Loosening up a bit? Want me to get back on the table?
Nick Ridicule
I want my PICTURE!
I slammed my fist down on her desk, looking up at her, my eyes completely and totally blazed. I could feel it. I could only imagine how I must have looked.
Katrina Costick
Your eyes are redder than the devils dick..
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, and you would know that from experience.
Katrina Costick
Harsh, you have such a sharp tongue Nicky. Anyway, when am I going to see you again. We never hang out anymore.
Nick Ridicule
You’re not! As soon as I leave this office and leave this club, you’ll probably never see me again! Now just give me my fucking picture back so I can leave.
She stared at me, a dissatisfied look gracing her face. She stood up and pulled the picture out of her bra.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley Matthews
Gross! My picture was against her chest?
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, for a little bit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She held out the picture for me, but before I could grab it, she pulled it away again.
Nick Ridicule
Stop fucking doing that!
She grabbed the lighter from the table, then brought it to the picture. I stood up with my hand out, trying to calm her down, but it was already too late. She lit the flame and the picture began to burn. She dropped it into her trash bin next to the desk, then walked the other way, leaving her office.
Nick Ridicule
FUCKING BITCH!
I rushed over to the trash bin, grabbing the picture out of it. Using my fingers I put out the fire and managed to salvage the picture. I was still pissed off though. I flipped her desk over and began destroying everything inside her office. I finally finished tearing everything down inside, so I kicked the door down and stepped out onto the floor of the club.
Nick Ridicule
If I never see you again, it’ll be too soon.
I walked past Kat who was seated on the stage. She smiled as I walked past her, until I flipped her off.
Jason Hawk
Is it just me, or does the Kat Box smell like fish?
The Notorious K.I.D
You two sure were in there awhile!
Corey Casey
That’s where you’re wrong Hawk, the Kat Box doesn’t smell like fish. The Kat Box smells like PUSSY!
I flipped everyone off as I made my way to the front of the club.
Katrina Costick
Hey Nick…
I stopped before walking through the exit, then looked back to her.
Katrina Costick
Come again!
She winked and all the guys laughed. I shook my head and stepped out, then waited outside with the bouncer for the rest of the Douche Knights.

What are you thankful for?
Thursday, November 25th 2010
Long Beach, California
Nick Ridicule
I then took KID and Jason to learn Ninjutso, while Corey went to get some weapons and shit to bring to Canada. We all met up the next day, then invaded the wedding.
I stop rubbing Ashley’s foot, having spent a considerable amount of time on both of them.
Ashley Matthews
One question..
I look at her.
Ashley Matthews
What the hell is Ninjutso?
I laugh a little bit. She throws her legs off of me and takes a seat by my side.
Nick Ridicule
Ninja skill training. We learned the eighteen techniques of the ninja and got to train to with two real ninjas.
Ashley laughs hysterically, but I look at her seriously. She notices me not laughing.
Ashley Matthews
Oh you’re not joking.
Nick Ridicule
Nope.
Ashley Matthews
Well then, that’s pretty cool.
She gives me an innocent smile and stands up, then walks to the kitchen. I stand up and follower her, pushing past the kitchen door to see her take her picture of the fridge.
Nick Ridicule
What are you doing?
Ashley looks at the picture, then at me.
Ashley Matthews
I’m going to fix it.
She walks past me, leaving the kitchen, turning to go into the bedroom. I follow her and watch as she opens her purse. She digs around a bit, then pulls out some lipstick. She was already wearing some, but I guess she needed to freshen up.
Nick Ridicule
Ashley, what are you doing?
Ashley Matthews
Hold on a second, silly. You’re the one who preaches patience, right?
I stand and wait at the doorway of the room. Watching as she puts lipstick on. Ashley was such a naturally beautiful girl that she didn’t need to wear makeup. That made it a lot more special when she did decide to put any on. She finishes putting it on her lips, then rubs them together. She walks over to me, then stands in front of me.
Ashley Matthews
Watch…
Ashley kisses the picture, then pulls her lips off.
Ashley Matthews
Good as new. Right?
I stare at the picture. Her lips marking it. She made my favorite picture perfect again.
Nick Ridicule
You’re so amazing.
I move in to kiss her, but she stops me, putting her hands on my chest.
Ashley Matthews
Wait…
She kisses me on the cheek and pulls away, then giggles.
Ashley Matthews
Now you have on too.
Nick Ridicule
This has been one of the best days of my life.
Ashley Matthews
Really?
Nick Ridicule
Yeah, it’s been amazing, you’ve been amazing. I keep thinking I’m going to wake up and all of this would have been a dream.
Ashley Matthews
Can I tell you a secret?
I smile and nod. She leans in close to my ear and whispers.
Ashley Matthews
It’s not.
She pulls away from me and winks.
Ashley Matthews
You haven’t even tried my dessert.
I raise my eyebrows at her.
Nick Ridicule
Is it my favorite? Ashley pie?
I move in close, but she stops me with a hand to the chest. I bring my hand up to my mouth and split the fingers apart with my tongue, then lick around while I stare at her.
Ashley Matthews
Later, first, I really did make dessert.
My tongue slows down, then comes to a stop, resting down onto my hand. I pull it back into my mouth and shrugs my shoulders.
Nick Ridicule
What did you make? I’m sure I can eat some more… then some more.
Ashley grabs my hand and pulls me out of the bedroom. I look over my shoulder at the bed, but then go with her as she pulls me into the kitchen, then opens the fridge. She pulls out a pie then holds it in front of me, a big smile on her face. I laugh a little bit at the expression on her face, she looked so adorable with her ruby red lipstick, long brown curly hair, big wide blue eyes and a smile that could light up even the darkest year.
Nick Ridicule
I love you so much.
Ashley Matthews
Don’t you want to know what kind of pie it is?
Nick Ridicule
I’m too busy admiring the person who made it for me. The person who spent an entire day working hard to make a meaningless day, meaningful to me. You’re amazing. I love you so much.
I move in to kiss her but suddenly, someone begins to knock at the door.
*KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK*
I look over the kitchen counter towards the door as they knock again.
*KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK*
I look ahead of me at Ashley, only a few inches away from me. She bites her lower lip a bit, and has her eyebrows raised.
Ashley Matthews
I love you too. Why don’t you answer the door and I’ll cut you and I a piece of pie.
She winks at me, then turns around and places the pie on the counter.
Nick Ridicule
I want a kiss before I want a piece of pie!
*KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**
*KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK*
I point at Ashley as I back out of the kitchen. I walk towards the front door, still pointing at Ashley who can see me over the kitchen counter. She laughs and shakes her head as she takes a knife and cuts into the pie. I place my hand over the scar on my neck, then open the door. I shiver and look at the door, where the person continues to annoying pound away.
*KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK*
I swing the door open and look around.
Nick Ridicule
What, WHAT, what do you want?!?
I look down to see Jason standing on the small porch. He flashes a quick smile at me, then grabs my arm and tries to pull me out.
Nick Ridicule
THEFUCK off of me!
I push his hand away and he looks around nervously.
Nick Ridicule
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I hear Ashley call me from the kitchen.
Ashley Matthews
Who is it babe?
Nick Ridicule
It’s Hawk, I think he’s tweaking on something.
I look over my shoulder into the condo at Ashley.
Ashley Matthews
Ask him if he wants a piece of APPLE, it’s APPLE pie!
I smile and look at Jason who is still looking around, rubbing his arms. He starts to rub at his eyes, then he looks at me. It’s pretty obvious he’s on something, heroin is my guess. I shrug my shoulders, none of my business.
Nick Ridicule
Ashley wants to know if you want a piece of APPLE…!
I look over my shoulder into the condo at Ashley who laughs in the kitchen, then I look at Hawk again.
Nick Ridicule
Pie.
Jason shakes his head.
Jason Hawk
I really need to talk to you… It’s very very important!
Nick Ridicule
I’m busy, call me tomorrow.
Jason Hawk
No, you don’t understand! If I don’t tell you now, you might be in danger!
I grab Jason by his shirt and pull him in close to me.
Nick Ridicule
What the hell is wrong with you man? I help you out again, then you attack Brandon and I after FTW last week!
Jason Hawk
You’re what’s wrong with me!
Jason shoves me off of him.
Jason Hawk
Always.. Hogging up all the spotlight!
Nick Ridicule
You’re not making any sense, lay off the dope.
Jason Hawk
FUCK YOU!
Jason tries to flip me off but he holds up all his fingers. I face palm and look back inside the condo. Ashley is holding up two plates with pie on them. She places one of the plates down, and holds up her finger for me to hold on a second. She disappears out of sight, then reappears with a can of whip cream. She nods her head slowly at me as she shakes the whip cream, then goes to put it on the pie. She stops and looks up at me, then places the whip cream down and holds her finger up again.
Nick Ridicule
What is she gonna do this time?
She disappears out of sight again. I look at Jason, who is mumbling shit to himself. I turn back around to see Ashley holding up a pint of vanilla ice cream. She stands with her mouth agape as she looks at it, then at me. My mouth falls open from her amazing genius. She holds her hand up and I give her an air high five. I turn and look at Hawk again.
Nick Ridicule
Alright, see you next week in Moscow, take it easy.
Jason Hawk
That’s just like you. I try to come to you with a problem and you don’t give a shit!
I smirk at him.
Nick Ridicule
Look in the fucking mirror you little prick. You get, what you give. Where the fuck were you when I needed your help? Where were you when Bad Company was beating this shit out of me every single week! Do you know what that’s done to me? Do you know how much damage they did? Of course not, because the only person who matters to you, is you.
I flip Jason off.
Nick Ridicule
Take care of yourself, cause I'm not going to take care of you anymore!
I back away into the condo.
Jason Hawk
Dude, do you have lipstick on your face?
I slam the door in his face. Never again would I allow him to drag me down. Never again would his ego, his jealousy, get in the way of Ashley and I. I smile and turn around. Ashley scoots a big spoonful of ice cream onto the piece of pie, then she takes the whip cream and pours some on top.
Nick Ridicule
I’m back baby!
I walk over to the kitchen and push through the door, then walk over to her. I drop down a little bit and open my mouth. She shakes the whip cream and pours it into my mouth ,filling it up. I stand up and close my mouth, some of the whip cream seeping out onto my lips. Ashley grabs my shirt and pulls me down into a kiss, where she cleans the whip cream off my face.
Ashley Matthews
You got your kiss, now here is dessert.
Nick Ridicule
Part one of dessert, right?
Ashley Matthews
Of course, the second course of dessert will be your favorite…
Nick Ridicule
What’s it called?
I smile wide at her and she sighs with a smile, rolling her eyes at me.
Ashley Matthews
Ashley pie…
Nick Ridicule
SCORE!
She hands me my plate, ice and whip cream soaking the top of the homemade apple pie. She opens the drawer and grabs me a fork and a spoon.
Nick Ridicule
Hmmmm…. Which would you suggest?
Ashley Matthews
Ummm..
She gives me the spoon. I stand and wait for her to put the ice cream on her pie, then she pours whip cream on it. She pours some whip cream in her mouth, then looks at me with an eyebrow raised.
Ashley Matthews
I should save some of this for the second course.
I smile and we leave the kitchen to the living room, where we sit on the couch and eat. I dig in with my spoon and bring the first bite up to my mouth, a little bit of everything on it. I shovel it into my mouth and chew around. I close my eyes and smiles.
Nick Ridicule
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
I dig my spoon into it again, quickly getting some more to put in my mouth.
Ashley Matthews
Good?
Nick Ridicule
It’s the greatest apple pie ever! This has got to be the best dessert combo of all time!
Ashley Matthews
I should make you my double chocolate chip brownies, you’ll love them. Especially with ice cream on top.
Nick Ridicule
That does sound amazing!
We continue to eat our dessert. I look over to the clock to see what time it is.
[10:11PM]
Nick Ridicule
Do you want to tell me a story while we eat?
Ashley Matthews
I’m not a very good story teller, plus I don’t really have any stories to tell.
Nick Ridicule
Seventeen years of stuff before we met and you don’t have anything to tell me about yourself? Didn’t you used to sneak into the city to visit your friend? You have to have done something worth telling.
Ashley Matthews
I don’t really want to think about all of that stuff. I don’t want to think about the past at all…
We sit and eat some more, silent for a bit.
Ashley Matthews
What about that secret you wanted to tell me? You know, the one between you and Kat.
Nick Ridicule
You were right, I don’t want to think of the past at all either. Tell you another time?
Ashley Matthews
Whenever you want.
We keep eating.
Ashley Matthews
What did Hawk want? He’s really missing out on this pie.
Nick Ridicule
Good, more for me.
I stick my tongue out, then I take another bite.
Nick Ridicule
I’m not really sure what was up with him. He was acting weird, I think he’s been shooting dope.
Ashley Matthews
Gross.
I take a bite of just ice cream, then I put my plate down on the table in front of me and sit back. I look at Ashley with a partial smile, thinking about stuff.
Ashley Matthews
You don’t do that anymore, right?
Nick Ridicule
Of course not, that was a big mistake. I’ll never do it again.
Ashley Matthews
Good.
I watch her eat, then she sets her pie down on the table and looks at me.
Ashley Matthews
What’s it like? Is it like a stronger version of weed?
Nick Ridicule
No, it’s… hard to explain. It’s nothing like when we smoked pot on our honeymoon. It’s something else. The only way I could really describe the feeling, is it made me feel, the way you make me feel. It’s the Ashley Matthews drug.
Ashley Matthews
That doesn’t make me feel very good.
Nick Ridicule
It’s… It’s an amazing feeling. It’s takes all the pain away, takes all the feelings away. It just leaves you in this euphoric state of perfect. So good you feel like you could just fly away. Like nothing could hurt you. It made me feel like you made me feel, like superman.
Ashley Matthews
Oh.. Now I sort of feel like it’s my fault you were doing that all summer…
Nick Ridicule
Well, to be honest with you, I kind of was. But it was so much different every other time I did it. The first time I did it was at the Thailand Tournament of Death. When I was doing it over the summer touring, it didn’t give me that same high. It made me miserable. So I would do more, and mix it with other things to try to get that feeling back…
Ashley Matthews
I’m so sorry..
Nick Ridicule
Don’t be. I’m a big boy, I knew exactly what I was doing every time I shot up…
Ashley scoots close to me and hugs me tight. We sit holding each other for who knows how long. I let tears fall from my eyes, completely vulnerable. She hugs me even tighter, then she pulls away and kisses me. She has tears in her eyes just like me. I wipe hers away, while she wipes mine away and we kiss again. She moves on top of me, still kissing me.
Ashley Matthews
I never want us to be apart again.
She kisses me again and I stand up with her. She wraps her legs around me and I carry her to the bedroom. I drop her down onto the bed and start to kiss her again. She pulls her shirt off, then mine and we kiss some more.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK* *KNOCK**KNOCK*
Nick Ridicule
I’m going to punch Jason to the throat!
Ashley Matthews
Just ignore him, he’ll go away.
I kiss her again and we scoot up to the pillows. I rest her head down gently on it and kiss her some more.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK* *KNOCK**KNOCK*
Ashley Matthews
He’s killing the mood, Nick.
Nick Ridicule
I know, he’s trying to ruin the perfect day!
Ashley Matthews
Do you want to get up, or should I do it?
Nick Ridicule
I’ll do it, just wait in this exact position for me, don’t move!
Ashley freezes in her spot, not even blinking. I move my hand up and down in front of her face but she holds firm.
Nick Ridicule
Wow, you’re really good at that.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK**KNOCK**KNOCK* *KNOCK**KNOCK*
I move my hand up and down again, but she remains motionless. I walk away with a smile, leaving the room and turning to go to the front door. I open the front door and point.
Nick Ridicule
Listen you little….OH NO!
Before I can say anything else, or do anything else, I’m hit to the face by an aluminum bat. I fall down crashing through the glass table as Akkarat Chao-Khun-Sa and his brother Badinton Chao-Khun-Sa enter the condo. I push up on the broken glass and legsweep Badinton Chao-Khun-Sa, taking him down. I try to stand up, but feel the bat whack me to the back.
Akkarat Chao-Khun-Sa
You thought you could escape the Thailand Tournament of death, without finishing? Tisk, tisk, tournament champion. I though you had more sense than that.
The sound of Ashley screaming gets me up to my feet. I look at her standing in the hallway leading to the bedroom, looking at the two men who she had only seen twice before.
Nick Ridicule
ASHLEY RUN!!!
I run and tackle Akkarat Chao-Khun-Sa, then try to grab the bat out of his hand. Ashley runs past us, trying to get out of the condo. She screams again and I look to see that Badinton Chao-Khun-Sa grabbed her foot. Ashley kicks him to the face, then steps on his head and jumps over him, running outside the condo. I try to stand up, but Akkarat Chao-Khun-Sa pulls on the bat and I fall forward on top of him.
Nick Ridicule
YOU SON OF A BITCH!!
I unload with some serious punches into his face, until finally his grip on the bat is released. I stand up with the bat and feel something stab into my leg.
Nick Ridicule
FUCK!
I look down at Badinton Chao-Khun-Sa with a needle in his hand, stabbing me in the upper thigh. I begin to feel woozy. I take the bat and bash him to the face with it, spiking him with the head of the bat. I stomp Akkarat Chao-Khun-Sa, then I stagger out of the condo and fall down to the pathway. I look around at the world swirling around, seeing triple of everything.
Nick Ridicule
ASHLEY RUN!
I release one final scream as I crawl along the pathway, then fall face first down into the grass. It feels like I’m spinning, even though I lay motionless on the ground. I open my eyes and push up at the sound of Ashley screaming again. I look to see two men grabbing her, lifting her under her arms and by her feet, carrying her into a van.
Nick Ridicule
Get up… Get up… GET UP!!
I push up to my knees, then manage to somehow get up to my feet. I stagger around, then run as fast as I can towards the parking lot. I stagger and fall down to the ground, but tuck my head and roll. I get back up to my feet and keep running, swerving left and right as I do, trying my best to focus on the middle blur, not the two other blurs to the left and right.
I make it to the parking lot, just as the van pulls out, backing up. I run out in front of it, then hold my hand up, using the force face claw. The van turns its lights on and it drives at me. I close my eyes, my arm still extended with my hand out.
Nick Ridicule
What the fuck am I doing… the force face claw doesn’t work on vans… it works on faces…
I stagger around and bit then open up my eyes to see the fan just a few feet away. The van suddenly swerves and crashes into a parked car nearby.
Nick Ridicule
HOLY SHITBALLS!
I look at my hand, which has an eyeball in the middle of it. It winks at me then vanishes. I look around for it on my hand, then shake it off and walk toward the van.
Nick Ridicule
Ashley, are you ok?
I open the back door of the van, sliding it open. Ashley jumps out, a small cut on her head. She jumps into my arms, but my legs give out on me and she ends up tackling me to the ground.
Ashley Matthews
I’m fine, are you ok? What’s going on?
I try to catch my breath. My heart races, pounding inside my chest as hard as I’ve ever felt.
Nick Ridicule
They found us…
Ashley starts to get up. She stands on her feet and starts pulling my arm.
Ashley Matthews
They’re coming, you have to get up!
Nick Ridicule
Run, leave me! They’re after me, not you! Get out of here while you can! I’ll be fine.
Ashley turns around and starts to run, but she stops. She turns to look at me, laid out on the ground. He eyes fill up with tears and she runs back to me and drops down.
Ashley Matthews
Never.
My eyes fill up with tears and she lays her head on my chest.
Nick Ridicule
I love you so much.. Please, leave me… You have to get somewhere safe…
Ashley shakes her head on my chest. Suddenly she’s grabbed by her hair and pulled to her feet by Badinton Chao-Khun-Sa.
Badinton Chao-Khun-Sa
This the little bitch that got us shut down?
Akkarat Chao-Khun-Sa
That’s her.
Ashley slaps him across the face, then spits on his brother.
Ashley Matthews
Nick is going to kill the both of you!
Akkarat Chao-Khun-Sa
If he had done that in the first place, we wouldn’t be having this little problem, would we?
He bobs his head toward the van and Badinton Chao-Khun-Sa lifts Ashley and carries her over, tossing her into the back of it.
Nick Ridicule
Just take me… She has nothing to do with this…
He leans down, crouching just a few short feet away form me. I lay paralyzed on the parking lot floor, looking at him, a smug look of satisfaction plastered across his face.
Akkarat Chao-Khun-Sa
Take you? So you can escape again? So you can sneak in a cell phone to call for help? I don’t think so. Instead, we’ll be taking her with us back to the palace, where we’ll be awaiting your arrival. The Thailand tournament of death will have a final fight! You will fight my brother to the death!
He stand up and spit son me, returning the favor for Ashley spitting on him. I watch as he walks over the van.
Ashley Matthews
NICK SAVE ME!
I get one last look at her before he slides the back door of the van shut. He looks at me with a smile on his face, then opens the passenger door. He climbs up into the van, then winks at me and slams his door shut. The van drives away, leaving me in the parking lot. I try my best to sit up, but it’s no use.
Nick Ridicule
FUCK FUCK FUCK!
At this point I’m totally hysterical. The tears flow freely from my face, pouring out like a faucet. I let out a monstrous scream, then manage to sit up, then get to my hands and knees. I throws up on the ground in front of me, looking at pieces of apple pie, with other mixings from our amazing dinner. I stand on me feet and try to clear my eyes, hoping to see the van, but it’s long gone. They took her from me, all because I didn’t finish fighting in their tournament. I walk slowly back to the condo, my head hung, arms feeling like they’re one hundred pounds each. I enter the house and fall to my knees, then begin to cry again.
