Washington, D.C.

Alexander Remington had made it to D.C. early, unusual for him to do on the week of a match, as he would normally be one to fly in just a couple of nights prior, and that was it. Most of his business was conducted back at his Los Angeles home, but he and Tiffani had arranged for an earlier arrival just to spend time together after their new relationship had began.

But as luck would have it, Tiffani overslept, and Remington, being the morning person that he was, decided to go for a jolly old stroll through the city. It was then that someone caught his eye.

"Fancy seeing you here," he said coldly to the individual, not really giving any sign as to what he was exactly thinking of said person at the moment.

TBC: Anyone

The person he was speaking to was Jaci Sovereign. She was out for her morning run, part of her normal routine but she didn't expect it to lead her to her ex boyfriend. She may not have ended things in the right way but she really didn't have any other choice so you could say this situation was just a little more then awkward especially since he has purposely been bashing her on twitter. The least he could do was be mature about the situation but then again it was Remington.

Letting out an already annoyed breath, she rolled her eyes as she begin to look through her song files for her mp3 player.

Jaci: Dido

She said raising her eyebrows as she continued on what she was doing ignoring his very presence.

TBCB: Remington

Alex cracked a smile, quite alright to ignore the pleasantries. This was a woman who left him with a note. He wasn't exactly looking to rekindle a friendship or any bullshit like that. Yet, he felt awkward about this situation - the first real time he had seen Jaci since the infamous breakup, save for a momentary notice from ads showing her return to the world of professional wrestling, conveniently enough as a member of the company he was now the champion of.

"You know Jaci..."

He paused, shaking his head, straightening his tie as he cleared his throat, looking around him at others who were passing them by on the sidewalks as they stood there in the midst of it all.

Shaking his head, he simply said, "...forget about it..."

Looking over at him she was shocked. Was he truly speechless? was he really going to let this go. Shaking her head she took one of the ear pieces out of her ear and let it hang on her shoulder as she looked over at him with eyebrows raised.

Jaci: That's it?

she said a bit amused as she laughed slightly.

Jaci: So you can passively aggressively bash me on twitter, but when we are face to face you can't say anything at all? I mean really? I guess it's just easier for you to say things when your not staring the person directly in the face, that way you don't have to have a connection, or feel remorse when you see the pain in their face. The least you can do is be mature about the situation.

Honesty she did think more of him, it wasn't like she was going around town trying to run a smear campaign on him every where she went. Putting the ear piece back in her ear she began to walk away from him.

Jaci stopped in her tracks and listened to Remington. Was she being a hypocrite? maybe on some level but it wasn't what he thought. Turning around she walked back to face him to stare him in the eyes if he wanted to have a little arguing match then fine

Jaci: When was it a good time for me to talk to you Remi? Was it when you were training? obsessing over getting back in the ring? or maybe a good time would be while you were obsessing over getting Stygian back in the ring. Lets face it, the only time I could have talked to you is if I made an appointment first. Unlike you Remington, we don't all get magically better so while you were focusing on getting your career back on track I was going to the doctor day in and day out. I NEEDED YOU THERE.

Tears began to form in her eyes just thinking how alone she felt going to those doctors appointments. One after another, after another.

Jaci: But... I knew your wrestling career was important to you and maybe if I would have said something things would have been different but I didn't so that's on me but being the man that you are, and knowing how much you loved me... I hoped for one second you could have looked at me and saw the pain I was going through...you were you just to damn focused.

Shaking her head she wiped the tears of her cheeks.

Jaci: Now your with some one that I trusted you with. Do you even realize how much that hurts me? what that makes me think? I know in my heart you wouldn't have cheated on me, but the way you guys are it makes me wonder and the more I think about it the more things add up in my head...

Running her tongue over her pearly whites she looks up taking a deep breathe...

Jaci: I'm glad your happy Remi, like I have always said, you out of any one deserves happiness and I hope you finally found it. As for me coming to IWF? Why don't you ask your boss about that one cause I didn't come here to bother you, or to try and fuck your life up... I would think you would know me better then that.

Jaci just stared at him in disbelieve, was he really going to ask her to marry him? Or was this his way of just hurting her even more? Making it seem like it was all her fault, that she missed out on the life she wanted.

She wanted to say something but the words seemed to escape her as her head begin to throb and the scenery around her began to spin. Closing her eyes this is not what she wanted to happen, especially in front of him. Shaking her head, she tried to snap her self out of the dizzy spell but it was no use as she began to hear her heart begin to beat faster.

Jaci: I... I ca... I can't do this right now...

As she went to walk away, she stumbled slightly causing her to catch her self on a near by post. She began to feel the warmth of her blood as it began to come out her nose cause her to nonchalantly wipe it away.

Jaci: Now I know how you felt...

She said with a sort of un-easy chuckle.

Jaci: Cause all I have to live for is wrestling

walking away from him as best she could at this point, she was never going to bring up that this was all happening to her because of him, because of what he did to her. Cash flowing her through a chair and for some reason she forgave him and even gave him a chance to be apart of her life. But things change. People change...

He watched as she tried to walk away, leaning on the post as she stumbled, struggling to do what should be a simple task like that. Alex, despite his hardened heart could not help but notice.

"You know, I'll never forgive myself for what I did to you that night," he stated, shrugging his shoulders, reaching into his coat pocket as he pulled out a carton of cigarettes; a vice that he rarely gave in to as he slipped one stick into his mouth. "I was in a bad place then; I wasn't thinking clearly at all. And for some reason, I believed someone as they told me that it would be the right thing to do - as they justified the reasons why dropping you like that would be the way to move forward with my life and with my career."

He sighed, lighting the cigarette as he slowly inhaled, breathing the smoke back out slowly.

"I am over you Jaci, and it took me a long time to admit that fact. A long time. Countless shrinks; countless days and weeks and months of thinking about you constantly, staring at my phone in hopes you would call me just one time to tell me how you were doing. Maybe it's not easy for you to hear this now, but I did care about you. I guess I just never was good at showing it...Not good enough apparently."

He looked away for a moment.

"I am happy with Tiffani. I can't say it's love because frankly, we've only been seeing each other for a couple of weeks now, but at the very least I am happy with her right now. What we had...it was real, but I guess in the end some people just aren't meant to be together. There was always something in the way - something that always came between you and I ever being happy together. But I did love you, and while I may be over the fact that we aren't together anymore, I'll never forgive myself either for whatever I did to ruin that."

Alex, unable to look upon Jaci any longer, turned as he was going to walk away, but he couldn't bring himself to doing so. Though Jaci could not see it, his back turned to her, he closed his eyes as he sighed, taking another awkward puff from his cigarette.

Alex was going to walk away; was going to leave and hope to never cross paths with the woman he once loved, but now was the source of so much heartache and bad memories - not fully of her own fault, but nevertheless, it was awkward as would be expected under such circumstances. But he glanced over his shoulder one last time, expecting to see her faded into the distance after not hearing a reply, but instead, he saw her lying on the ground, motionless.

For a moment he stood there, stunned, almost as though he didn't know what to do - his ex girlfriend lying on the sidewalk without anyone even paying her any mind, as though it were normal for people to just lay on the sidewalk. Everything seemed to be moving about him in slow-motion - the people walking past him blurred as he focused on his fallen ex, turned completely facing her now as he looked down at her.

"What the fuck am I doing," he finally muttered to himself as he reached into his pocket, pulling out his cell phone and dialing 911, speaking to the lady on the other end, telling her where they were and what had happened, waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

"Family or friend?" the medic on the scene asked Alex, shaking off his temporary daze as he looked at the man.

"Just a friend..."

"Want to ride along?"

End.
