My Immortal
Chapter 1
**Mild Language**
Glenn and I have been married for 3 years…I met him when I was just
barely 20 and right out of college…I’m 23 now of course…My husband is not any ordinary
man…he doesn’t have a normal job…he has a job that keeps us on the road for a
few weeks at a time…
Glenn is a professional wrestler for the WWE / World Wrestling
Entertainment, formerly known as the WWF / World Wrestling Federation…I met him
through the company…I was hired on as they Lead computer technician…Anytime
computers were not working up to par I would jump in and fix them as fast as I
could so the shows would go smoothly.
My name is Lori Jacobs. My husband Glenn Jacobs is better known to most
people as Kane…Glenn’s best friend is Mark Callaway again to most people he’s
known as Undertaker, which coincidentally Glenn plays Mark’s little brother on
camera…somehow as soon as I met Mark’s wife Sara…we instantly became best
friends also…funny cause we were the same age…and Mark is 5 years older then
Glenn…
If you don’t know much about them…let me give you a quick run down.
Mark and Glenn are both 6’10” and between 300-325lbs…both have excellent muscle
tone…one defiant thing about them both is Mark is a huge Tattoo person…he’s got
tattoos all over himself…he’s covered from Wrist to shoulder on both arms, plus
one across his stomach and one on the back of his neck…
When he married Sara we laughed at him cause he got her name across
the bottom of his throat and said it was the most painful son of a bitch he got
and it was a good thing her name wasn’t longer…Glenn doesn’t have any
tattoos…They both have long hair…Glenn’s is more of a brown with auburn
highlights, and is so curly…I love it…Mark’s is dark auburn and straighter…they
both have mustaches and go-tees…Mark has these amazing Emerald green eyes and
Glenn has the most unbelievable blue eye’s I’ve ever seen.
Sara is much like me…she’s 5’8” and I’m 5’10” She has long blonde
hair…which I always tease her cause every one knows she’s a bottled blonde…with
brown eyes…she has a couple of tattoos…one being Mark’s name on the back of her
neck…where her hair covers it up…as for me…I have red hair to the bottom of my
rear-end…blue eyes…and I have one tattoo on my lower back across my lumbar…it a
cartoon fireball, that has evil eyes and an evil toothy grin…I got it because
of Glenn’s character.
Before Glenn and I got married we spent most of our time in
Knoxville, Tennessee…but after we were married we had discussed it and we
bought a home in Houston Texas, about 30 minutes from Mark and Sara’s ranch
that was out in the country…most of the down time from work was spent with Mark
and Sara of course…
Today was no different then any other day off that we had. We were
in Glenn’s Bright red Ford Explorer and we were on our way over to Mark and
Sara’s…When we get back off the road…We usually stay in our house for about 3
days, catching up…if that’s what they call it now.
Chapter 2
**Same Warning**
Glenn leaned over and took my hand in his and said, “Glad to be home
baby?” I smiled and said, “Of course…I love being on the road with you…but I
also love being at home with you…you don’t have to be your character at home.”
Glenn said, “Hey…I didn’t hear any complaints coming from you last night while
I chased you around as Kane…” I couldn’t help but giggle…I said, “If memory
serves me correct, I laughed at you last night too…” Glenn smiled and said,
“Yea…but you was only laughing until I caught you…then you were screaming…”
I squeezed my thighs together and felt the delicious ache from our
love making the night before…though I don’t know if it can be considered making
love, because we were a little rougher on each other then usual…Maybe I should
call it just some good old fashioned fucking…of course we went at it about 6
times before we finally fell asleep…and then of course I was woken up this
morning by that familiar tingle between thighs…My eyes shot open and I looked
down and Glenn had his head buried between my thighs…all I could do was moan,
scream and hold onto the sheets.
Before we made the 30 minute journey to Mark and Sara’s Glenn pulled
into the drive-thru Starbucks…We were both in need of a coffee pick me up…Glenn
ordered his black coffee as usual…and then ordered my usual Mocha
Frappuccino…no whip cream…I smiled, I loved how he knew what I liked to drink
in the mornings to wake me up…I still couldn’t get the mental image of Glenn
out of my head from the night before…Naked as the day he was born chasing me
around the house, with only his Kane mask on…making grunting noises and using
his deep Kane voice…
A little giggle escaped my side of the explorer as we turned into
Mark and Sara’s drive way…Glenn said, “Okay…what are you thinking about baby?”
I smiled and said, “You wearing nothing but that Kane mask last night…” Glenn
said, “AH-HA…I knew you enjoyed it.” I laughed and said, “I never said, I
didn’t enjoy it…but you have to admit it babe…the big red machine in nothing
but his birthday suit and his work mask…I know a few female fans who’d give
their right and left arms for a picture of that.”
Glenn smiled and said, “Yea…remind me to take pictures next time…we
could make tons of money…maybe well get Mark and Sara in on the deal…only well
have Mark with nothing but his trench coat on.” I started laughing again as we
came to a dead stop in front of the house…and we grabbed the coffee and got
out…we walked around back, cause we knew they’d be on the back porch…
We walked up and Sara had the same exact thing on as me, tank top
and jeans shorts…I had sandals on, but she was a bare foot freak…she went every
where bare foot…Some how or another Mark and Glenn always managed to coordinate
also…Jean, boots and a t-shirt, their crazy ass manes pulled back in low pony
tails. We walked up and I handed Sara her coffee and Glenn handed Mark his…
I was still laughing at Glenn’s new merchandise scheme…Mark said,
“Jesus Glenn, what did you do to her?” I said, “Believe me Mark you don’t wanna
know.” Sara said, “Okay spill it.” Glenn said, “I just came up with an amazing
money making devise for merchandise and Lori is laughing at me about it…and it
was her idea.” I said, “I may have come up with the idea…but you gave me all
the inspiration I needed last night, this morning, and on the ride up the
driveway…thank you very much.”
Mark said, “So let’s here is…” I said, “On a sex rage last night…the
genius to your right and to my left…decided to chase me around the house
wearing nothing but his Kane mask.” By now Mark and Sara both were laughing their
asses off…Glenn said, “She didn’t complain…believe me.” I said, “Anyways, on
the way over here I joked and said, I knew a few female fans who would give
both their arms to have a picture of the big red machine in nothing but his
Mask…so he took it one step further and said he’s get you in on it Mark…only
you’d be wearing nothing but your trench coat that your fans are so attracted
to.”
Sara was rolling with laughter while Mark just shook his head at
Glenn and said, “Sara…don’t laugh at him…it’s a mental problem….we gotta get
your cat scanned boy.”
Chapter 3
**Same Warning**
Sara finally calmed down and said, “I don’t think it’s the trench
coat as much as it is what’s in it.” Mark said, “Sara, don’t encourage them.” I
said, “Hey…I was only kidding…I honestly think Glenn here was serious.” Glenn
said, “Ah, bite me all of you.” The 3 of us started laughing again…
I stood up and went over and stood behind Glenn and wrapped my arms
around his neck and said, “Awww…C’mon baby…we weren’t making fun of you...” Glenn
pushed my arms away and I couldn’t help but laugh more…I snaked my arms around
his neck again and kissed his ear and then tongued his ear…which almost caused
him to lose it…he pulled me around and sat me on his lap and said, “Okay…you’re
forgiven…but Mark don’t think a little tongue action in the ear is gonna get
you my forgiveness…”
Mark laughed and said, “I hope that was rhetorical…” Glenn said, “Of
course…cause if you stuck your tongue in my ear…I’d have to question your motives
for getting married to Sara.” Sara laughed and said, “Well…I kind of lured him
into the net…hook, line and sinker.” Mark said, “Please…I had you from the
moment I stepped out of the limo.” Sara scoffed and said, “Oh yes…it was your
ever so cool opening line of Hi…”
I couldn’t help but laugh…and said, “Wow…Smooth opener there Mark.”
Mark said, “What was I supposed to say…she was there with two little kids…I’m
pretty sure… ‘Hey if you’re not busy later would ya like to fuck’…isn’t a line
you’d want to use in the presence of kids…” I said, “Wow…Glenn why didn’t you
use that line on me? You realize it would have worked.” Mark and Sara started
laughing and Glenn was in a state of shock and said, “It took me forever to get
you to go out with me…Let alone to have sex with me.” I said, “Well see, if you
would have used that line…you would have gotten the answer you was looking for
faster…” Sara said, “How did he finally get you to go out with him?”
I said, “He used the frigged bitch approach…He figured because I
wouldn’t go out with him that I was being stuck up…and it finally took him
calling me a frigged bitch…for me to blow up at him…I called him everything
from a burnt asshole to a pigheaded jerk off…I didn’t know anyone in the
company that well…I wasn’t about to just jump into a car with someone I hardly
knew…He came back a few days later and apologize for the frigged bitch comment
and then I finally agreed to go to dinner with him…and it just escalated from
there…and we got married 4 weeks later.”
Mark said, “The shortest engagement period known to man.” I said,
“True…but so worth it…I haven’t been any happier since.” Glenn patted my hip
and said, “Yea…me either…well except for last night.” All four of us started
laughing again…and Mark said, “Yea…too bad we are going back on the road day
after tomorrow though…” I said, “I know…I won’t be coming with this time.” Sara
said, “Oh man…why not?” I said, “I’m on vacation for the next week…Vince’s
orders…said I work too hard to not get at least a week’s vacation…but I will be
joining you guys in
Sara said, “Good…I don’t know if I can handle these two
temperamental boys on my own…” Mark said, “I see no boys around here so I know
you ain’t talkin’ about me...” Sara said, “Of course I’m talking about you…who
else would I call a boy.” Mark looked over the rim of his sunglasses at Sara
and she started laughing…I couldn’t help but laugh with Sara…
So the day after next, I said my good-byes to Mark, Glenn and Sara
at the airport…Glenn had his arms wrapped around me and said, “I’m going to
miss you baby.” I said, “I know big man…I will see you in 7 days…I promise…the
time will totally fly by…You can call me every night, I swear I won’t go to bed
until I get a phone call from you.” Glenn said, “Okay…sounds like a good deal.”
They called for the passengers to board the flight…and Glenn leaned down and
gave me a really great lip lock…Sara came over and gave me a hug and Mark came
over and squeezed my shoulders and said, “We’ll see you in
I never realized it was the last time I’d ever see Glenn again.
Chapter 4
**Following chapters deal with death**
Vacation went fast. True to Glenn’s word, he called and said good
night to me every night and I we also had a few steamy phone sex
conversations…Hey man…Whatever gets me through to get back to my husband.
I was packing my suit case, getting ready for my flight that I would
be getting on in about 1 hour…I couldn’t wait to see Glenn…7 days is definitely
too much time in between our sex sessions…I was just about ready to pack my
shoes when the phone rang…I ran over hoping it was Glenn and answered it…
“Hello?” An unrecognizable male voice said, “Mrs. Lori Jacobs?” I
said, “Yes, May I ask whose calling?” The voice said, “Yes ma’am, my name is
Detective Mike Hutchinson…with the Michigan Police Department…You’re husband is
Glenn Jacobs correct?” I said, “Yes sir…” The Detective said, “Is there any way
you can get to
Detective Hutchinson said, “I’m not at liberty to say until you’re
here…so we can speak to you personally…I will be meeting you at the airport…I
hope you don’t mind.” I said, “No…I suppose not…my employer was supposed to
send a limo for me…but I’ll call and let him know I won’t be needing a car to
pick me up.” He said, “Ma’am, you’re employer has already been notified…I’ll
see you when you get to the airport.” I said my good-byes to the detective and
couldn’t imagine what was going on…I figured Glenn and Mark got into some sort
of fight and had been thrown in jail…Silly boys…as rough as Sara was…she was
probably sitting in jail rotting just like them.
Nothing could of prepared me for what I was about to find out once
I’d gotten to Michigan.
So I flew to Detroit Michigan…and Detective Hutchinson picked me up
like he said he would…we made small talk while he drove…we made a turn and He
drove out onto the pier that goes into Lake Michigan. When we stopped…I thought
I saw something sticking out of the water…as we got out of the car and walked
over...the image in the water became clearer. It was a wing off of an
airplane…I went pale as a ghost and my mind went totally blank…
I touched the detective’s arm and said, “Where is my husband
Detective?” Detective Hutchinson said, “I’m sorry Mrs. Jacobs…but you’re
husband drowned…along with 25 other passengers on the plane.” I immediately had
tears sliding down my cheeks and said, “No…you’re joking with me right…Glenn is
hiding somewhere and it’s all a big joke.” Detective Hutchinson said, “I’m
afraid not…Mrs. Jacobs…I’m sorry about your loss…we need you to identify the
body of your husband…”
I kept thinking it wasn’t true, until they walked me over to a table
that had a TV set up…they didn’t put the bodies in the same room…they had a
camera pan from the feet up and then got to the face…I couldn’t believe it…it
was Glenn…he looked so peaceful…A couple of minutes of me just standing there
looking at my husbands face…I couldn’t move…I was stuck to the spot. I suddenly
felt a hand on my arm. I looked over and it was Stephanie…Vince’s daughter…she
had the sniffles her eyes were puffy and red…
The detective said, “Mrs. Jacobs is that your husband?” He pointed
to the face on the TV…I blinked a couple of times and tears just streamed down
my face and I couldn’t speak…like someone took my voice away from me…I just
nodded…Stephanie said, “Yes…that is her husband.”
Chapter 5
Stephanie took my hand and led me out of the building…As soon as we
cleared the door, I felt like someone was pulling on my legs…and went to my
knees…I remember feeling the warm wood from the pier beneath my legs…My hands
covered my face and the sobs over took my whole body…Stephanie and Torrie (One
of the female wrestlers)…helped me up and sat me in the back of a fire
departments SUV tailgate…
Mark was standing near the edge of the pier in his soaking wet
clothes, with a blanket around him…he kept staring into the water…he was just
waiting for Sara to come back…he waited…he knew she was as stubborn as he was,
she’d walk out of the water and smack him for leaving her there…the tears
started sliding down his cheeks as the reality of everything that had happened
ran through his mind…as it caught up to him.
The plane started shaking and the pilot said they were having
problems…and they were going to try and make it to the Detroit airport…but the
plane started taking a nose dive…Mark, Glenn and Sara just sat as close to each
other as possible…When the Plane hit the water…it hit with such a force…the
emergency exit door popped off and freed Mark…he swam to the top and when Glenn
and Sara didn’t come up after him, he swam back down trying to free them…
Glenn’s seat belt had jammed and even with the strength of both of
them…they couldn’t break it, or even rip it…it wouldn’t budge a bit…Mark went
back to the top to get air and swam back down but Sara was already dead…the
coroner said the force that the plane hit the water was so strong that a few
passengers necks snaps in two killing them instantly…a few even had signs of
whiplash…Mark couldn’t do anything to help…and was forced to watch as his best
friend and his wife died…
Mark knew he’d have to call and talk to Lori and tell her what
happened…Kevin Nash and John Layfield (Bradshaw) had come over and were just
standing with him…they didn’t know what to do…when John finally spoke up and
said, “Mark, Lori’s here…she’s over with Stephanie and Torrie I think…You wanna
go and see her, talk to her…something?”
I had finally calmed down and said, “What about Mark and Sara?”
Torrie said, “Mark is okay…but Sara didn’t make it…I’m so sorry about all of
this Lori…” I couldn’t stop the tears from sliding down my cheeks…I was being
pretty quiet about all of it…I was looking down in my lap and noticed two big
black boots…I looked up and it was Mark…he looked like someone had ripped his
insides out…
I said, “Oh Mark…I’m so sorry.” Mark said, “I should be saying I’m
sorry…I couldn’t help him…I couldn’t do anything…” I said, “No…it’s not your
fault…Don’t even think that…”
Mark wrapped his arms around me and I couldn’t help but cry on his
chest…Mark picked me up and sat down and put me in his lap…I didn’t care that
he was getting my clothes wet or anything…we were just both trying to comfort
each other…we’d both lost our best friend…and my husband and his wife…
4 days later, we had a double funeral for both Glenn and Sara…we
actually found 4 plots side by side in the Houston Chapel Lawn Cemetery…For the
next couple of weeks, Mark and I never left each others sides…incase for any
reason the other needed something.
What am I to do with my life?
Chapter 6
After a couple of months, Mark decided the best thing for him was to
just go back on the road with the wrestling tour…he had to do something to keep
himself from going insane…
As for me, it didn’t matter where I sat, laid down or sleep in the
house…I could still hear, smell and feel Glenn every where I went…I even slept
outside one night on the back porch…but I just couldn’t sleep…I kept expecting
to see him walk through the door and sweep me away to the bedroom, like he did
every time he came home from being on the road when I wasn’t with him…
After forcing myself to live in that house for 3 months, I decided I
couldn’t do it anymore…I packed everything up and threw it all in a Storage
place in town…I put the house up for sale…
***
I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone…
***
I walked through out the house making sure I had packed every single
thing…then I looked up on the fire place and had forgotten to take down our 8 x
10 wedding photo…with Mark and Sara both in it with us…
***
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time can not erase
***
I pulled the picture down kissed it and placed it in my backpack and
then pulled the front door closed behind me…I knew leaving was the best thing
for me to do…I had to do something my sanity was slowly slipping away and I was
going to let the death of my husband and best friend kill me too…I got in my
Toyota RAV 4…I even sold Glenn’s explorer…I couldn’t handle driving it…it was
just something I had to give up…
***
When you’d cried I’d…wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d…fight away all of your fears
And I held your…hand through all of these years
But you still have…All of me…
***
I drove over to Mark place, I knew he’d be home…I called ahead of
time…he was in the drive way working on one of his bikes…and wiped his hands
off and came over and said, “I take it your leaving?” I said, “I have to Mark…I
can’t live in that house anymore…it’s not even a home without Glenn
there…Besides I’m taking some time off work Vince agreed it would probably be
for the best so he has a temp who’s going to be taking my place until I’m up
and ready to go.”
***
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts…my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away…all the sanity in me
***
Mark said, “So where are you gonna go?” I said, “My nana (grandma) lives
in Boston…I stayed with her while I was going to college…when she heard about
Glenn, she called and asked me to come stay with her until I can get back on my
feet…I don’t know how long I’m going to be gone…or how long it will take me…but
I’ll be back…and you’ve got my cell-phone number if you need anything…I’ll
always have it turned on…if not…then leave a message and I’ll be back to you…”
Mark said, “Yea…the same goes for you…don’t think for a second that I won’t be
there…I don’t care if you need a shoulder to cry on or a tissue to wipe your
eyes…you call me if you need me…”
***
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time can not erase
***
I smiled and said, “I will…You take care of your self…and if you need
to talk…I don’t care what time it is…just call me…I’ll always be ready to
listen…” Mark pulled me over and enveloped me into his arms…and we just held
each other for a good 10 or 15 minutes…and Mark kissed the top of my head and
said, “You better get going…I don’t want to driving at night…” I said,
“Okay…I’ll call you when I get there…” Mark nodded and helped me back in the
car…and watched as I left down the road…
One more stop…
***
When you’d cried I’d…wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d…fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have…All of me…
***
I pulled up to the cemetery gates and walked to the back and sat
between Glenn and Sara’s graves…
***
I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone
But though you’re still with me
I’ve been alone all along…
***
I said, “This is it you two…you have to take care of each other…and
please watch over Mark for me…I know he tries to look strong and brave in front
of me…but he’s a big mess on the inside like me…He’s the perfect teddy bear…it
doesn’t matter how much he’s hurting…if someone else is hurting just as bad,
he’s push all his pain aside to help you…no questions asked and no strings
attached…I’ll always be grateful you both came into my life…and you’ll forever
be in my heart…”
I stood on my knees and placed kisses on each other their grave
stone…Sara Beloved Wife and Best Friend…Glenn Beloved Husband and Best Friend…
I wiped my tears and walked back to my car and got in and drove
off…getting on the highway…destination Boston Massachusetts…I’m coming home
Nana.
***
When you’d cried I’d…wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d…fight away all of your fears
But I held your hand through all of these years
But you still…have…All of me…All of me…All of me…
***
Chapter 7
**Mild Language**
- - 2 Years Later - -
I never went back on the wrestling tour…I haven’t been back to
Houston in 2 years…Instead I started working at Titan Towers in Stamford,
Connecticut…Vince said he was happy I didn’t leave the company all together…he
knew it would take me a while to get back in the swing of things…and it did…I
didn’t even go back to work until a year after Glenn’s death…Even though I kept
in touch with Mark constantly…
Mark had started dating again…he stayed away from ring rats and
fans…he just couldn’t see himself wasting his time on people he just didn’t
know…he dated a few of the WWE diva’s to try and keep it around people he fully
knew and were friends with…but nothing really seemed to click.
I hadn’t even ventured to try dating again…it had only been 2 years
since Glenn’s death…I was 25 now…it wasn’t for lack of trying…I tried to go on
a couple of dates…but nothing worked…I’d get ready for the date and I’d get
cold feet an hour before it was supposed to happen and would end up canceling…
Mark and I were constantly on the phone…6 months after Glenn and
Sara’s deaths he finally opened up to me one night over the phone…he was laying
in bed in some hotel room after he’d taped Smackdown…and I was laying in bed at
my apt in Stamford…and we both got really quiet…I swore I could hear him
sniffling…and I just asked him to talk to me…it all came out…he was mad, angry,
pissed off, upset, sad…everything…he cried over the phone and it was at that
point I wished I was there to help ease his pain…
Mark got to yelling and carrying on about the whole thing so much
that I had started crying…and then he was trying to calm me down he hadn’t
meant to make me cry…he was just trying to get all his frustrations out…I think
that conversation made us both stronger people…it wasn’t easy dealing with all
of it…but we both knew we could turn to each other for comfort and support…I
never cried in front of or around anyone but Mark…and he’d only cried that once
on the phone with me…
Late one night, I was just getting home…when my mailman Teddy was
walking up to the door of my apt…I said, “Hey Teddy…how are you doing tonight?”
He said, “I’m doing just fine Miss Jacobs…I’ve got a postcard here for you…we
got a letter about it…it seems after you made your move from Houston to Boston
and then to here…it kept getting lost in the shuffle and well…the date on it is
September 21, 1998…” I said, “Does it say who it’s from?”
Teddy looked at it and said, “It just says ‘I love you…Glenn’…It’s a
beautiful picture…just a bunch of fluffy white clouds on a deep clear blue
sky…”
Teddy handed me the postcard…and I nearly took a nose dive…I was
pretty close to passing out…the date was 2 days before Glenn and Sara’s
Deaths…it was eerie…As Teddy walked away I walked into my apt…and was
immediately greeted by a soft furry little creature rubbing up against my
legs…I locked the door and then bent over and scoped up the fury black cat in
my arms and said, “You’re a handsome Devil what’s your name?” Furball meowed at
me and I couldn’t help but giggle…and said, “Yes…I know I’m late…and you’re
probably famished…What do ya say, I feed you and then I’ll go soak in a hot
tub?” Furball meowed again…and said, “Okay…it’s a deal.”
I sat the over plump cat on the kitchen counter and pulled down a
can of food…and opened it up and emptied the can into his glass bowl labeled
‘Million Dollar Cat’…I’d have to remember to call Stephanie later I hadn’t
talked to her in a couple of months since her and Paul’s wedding…
I went into the bathroom and ran my bubble bath and stripped my
uncomfortable work clothes and threw then around the room and eased my achy
frame into the warm lilac scented bath water…it felt so good…I couldn’t help
but stare at that postcard…I kept picking it up and looking at it…
Chapter 8
**Same Warning**
Furball pushed the door open and came over and sat on the edge of
the tub, batting at the bubbles…I said, “You better watch it, last time you did
that you ended up in here with me…good thing you’re de-clawed…I would have been
ripped to shreds.” Furball just stared at me…as if to say ‘Like I’d be dumb
enough to do that twice’…I reach other and petted my soft black ball of fur and
he was purring up a storm…I said, “Wow…full belly and you’re the lover all of a
sudden.”
When I got out of the tub…I pulled on my shorts and tank top…and ran
a comb through my hair to get the tangles out…I went out and was sitting on the
couch with that damn postcard staring at me from the coffee table…I finally
sighed heavy and turned the TV on…I stopped on CMT and noticed Mark Wills had a
new song and video out…I didn’t even see the name of the video…but I turned it
up so I could hear it…anything that man sings is heaven sent…
*****************************
They kissed goodbye at the terminal gate
She said, “You're gonna be late if you don't go”
He held her tight, said, “I'll be alright
And I'll call you tonight to let you know”
He bought a postcard, on the front it just said Heaven
With a picture of the ocean and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her and they told her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here
Wish you could see this place
Wish you were near
I wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice…it's paradise
It's summertime all year
And there's some folks we know
They say Hello
I miss you so
Wish you were here
She got a call that night but it wasn't from him
It didn't sink in right away,
“Ma'am the plane went down”
“Our crews have searched the ground”
“No survivors found” she heard him say
But somehow she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven
With a picture of the ocean and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loves and they told her
How he'd love her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here
Wish you could see this place
Wish you were near
I wish I could touch your face

Chapter 9
**Same Warning**
When the video was over I was crying…I wanted to call Mark…but I
kept getting his voice mail…I finally left a message…I knew I probably sounded
like an over emotionally insane female on his voice mail…but I needed to talk
to him about the post card and then that damn video…I finally cried myself to
sleep on the couch…I was tucked into a ball with a blanket over me…and Furball
was laying above my head, in my hair…
I was woke out of a sound sleep by the chirping of my damn cell
phone…I rolled around for a few seconds…and then reached over and snatched it
off the coffee table, I wasn’t fully awake yet, and my eyes couldn’t focus long
enough to see who it was on the caller id…I finally snapped the flip part of it
up and pushed the green button…at least I could decipher colors.
My groggy ass voice said, “What time is it?” Stephanie’s voice came
back with a well…its 2 am here…so I imagine its 3 or 4 there…” My eyes snapped
out and I jetted up into a sitting position on the couch and said,
“Stephanie…why in God’s name in all that is holy are you calling me at this
time of night?” Steph said, “There’s been an accident.” I jumped to my feet and
said, “Stephanie…I don’t wanna know about it…I can’t handle this…You know I
can’t…” I snapped my flip phone shut…hanging up on the call…
I could just feel the tears swelling in my eyes…I paced through my
apt…and kept trying Mark’s cell phone…Stephanie kept calling back but I
wouldn’t answer…I figured if she didn’t tell me…nothing was really wrong and it
was all a bad dream…I kept getting Mark’s voice mail…and started getting the
sick feeling in the pit of my stomach…Nothing could possibly happen to
make…he’s big and strong…and he’s a tough fighter…he can take anything…I know
he can…nothing bad would ever happen to him…
Glenn was big and strong, he was a tough fighter, he could take
anything…I didn’t think anything bad would ever happen to him…but it did…
No Mark is different…he survived the first time…he’s untouchable
now…nothing would or could hurt him…NOTHING…
Finally after debating with my mind for 10 minutes, I decided to go
for a jog…it’s 4 in the morning, and I’m going for a run…DAMN IT!
30 minutes later, I came back home and took a shower…when I walked
back into the living room…my cell-phone was sitting on the damn postcard…and it
was ringing again…Stephanie’s name as plain as daylight…I flipped my phone open
and didn’t even say anything…she could hear the TV on…and she said,
“Please…Lori…don’t hang up…” I said, “Stephanie…what ever it is you’ve just got
to tell me…well damn it…hurry up and say it…I can’t stand not knowing any
longer.”
Stephanie’s voice quivered a little and said, “He needs you.” I ran
my hand through my hair and said, “Don’t tell me…no please…do not do this to me
Steph…I don’t need to know…I don’t…FUCK! Who needs me?” Steph said, “Mark needs
you Lori…” I sat at my kitchen table and plopped my head in my hand and said,
“What the hell happened Steph…I just talked to him last night?” Steph said,
“Mark was in a car accident tonight…a drunk driver hit him going at least 120
in a corvette. Mark really didn’t sustain any injuries…but he’s got some brain
swelling, a super severe concussion…and he slipped into a coma…”
I said, “Oh Jesus…Stephanie…” Step said, “Listen…the doctor said him
being in a coma is the best thing for him right now…it will give him time for
everything to heal up properly…and also that once he’s fully healed inside and
out…he should wake up…” I said, “What if he doesn’t wake up? What if he never
wakes up again?” Steph said, “We’ll deal with that if and when it comes to
that…but Mark needs you right now…you know since Glenn and Sara died, you two
have been each others comfort zones…you’ve literally talked in the phone every
day and night for the last 2 years…when ever I see Mark he’s on the phone with
you…and when I’d come to visit you…you were constantly on the phone with
him…you need each other…and right now…he needs you.”
I said, “Okay…but you get to call and tell you’re dad I won’t be
coming back until things with Mark are better…” Steph said, “Dad knows
already…he knows you’d never just not show up for Mark…” I said, “Yea…Where are
you guys?” She said, “Chicago…I’ll have one of the boys pick you up from the
airport and bring you over to the hospital.” I said, “Okay…I’ll be there as
soon as I can…Steph stay with Mark, until I can get to him…please.” She said, “No
problem…”
We hung up and I started flying around the apt, getting things in
order…and called to have a friend of mine take care of my cat while I was
gone…and then I was gone…Flying to Chicago…to be with Mark…God please watch
over him until I can get to him…
Please.
Chapter 10
**Same Warning**
3 hours later, I was walking through the hospital with Paul Levesque
(Triple H…Stephanie’s husband)…He was trying to get me to talk to him…and I
wouldn’t budge…I just kept myself quiet…
Vince saw me and came over and touched my shoulder…I looked up at
him and he said, “How are you holding up Lori?” I said, “Only as good as can be
expected…Any change in Mark?” Vince just shook his head no…
I looked and Paul and said, “Take me to him.” Paul said, “Are you
sure honey?” I said, “Absolutely…he’d be there if it was me…So I am going to be
there for him…I do not care…what it takes…I will not lose another friend to
someone else’s stupidity.” Paul said, “Okay…c’mon, I’ll take you down to his
room…”
Paul walked me up to the ICU ward and into his room…Stephanie was
asleep…I said, “Go ahead and take her back to the hotel…I’m sure she needs the
sleep.” Paul kissed the top of my head and leaned over and scoped up
Stephanie…she automatically put her arms around his neck and snuggled against
his chest. Paul whispered, “If you need anything call…I’ll tell everyone to go
ahead and head back to the hotel for some rest.” I said, “That’s fine…” I
watched as Paul carried Steph down the hall…
A few minutes later a nurse came in and said, “You must be Lori
Jacobs…Mr. McMahon said, you’d be coming in…he also said to make you as
comfortable as possible…Is there anything I can get for you?” I smiled and
said, “Yes…I am…I’ll be here for the long hall…and no thanks I actually just
got here…but I’m fine for now. How long has he been in a coma?”
The nurse said, “For the last 5 hours…If there’s anything I can get
for you…my name is Felicia…I’ll try and help any way possible.” I smiled and
said, “Okay…thanks…and just keep with calling me Lori.” Felicia left…
I stood over Mark and it was hard to see him this way…They had a
breathing and heart monitor on him…his head was bandaged up…and the hospital
gown was about 4 times to small for him…I had to giggle a little…it was only covering
up his chest and arms…I couldn’t imagine what the hell was on underneath…I saw
all his clothes hanging in a make shift closet that the hospitals provide for
people who are there for long periods of time and his levis, socks and boots
were there…
the nurse told me the pitched his t-shirt cause the EMT’s shredded
it to get to him when the accident first happened…she said it took her and
another nurse to get his boots and jeans off once he slipped into the coma…
I could mentally picture these two short small ass nurses fighting
to take his clothes off…I should of asked if they video taped it for legal
purposes…I really could of used a laugh at that point…plus I could of used it
in black mail against Mark sometime down the road…I had to giggle again…
I sat next to the bed and was holding Mark’s hand in both of mine…I
couldn’t help but pray…I just wanted Mark to wake up…I fell asleep with my head
on his hand…
Chapter 11
**Same Warning**
In the morning…the nurse came in and I woke up…she said, “I’m sorry
honey I didn’t mean to wake you up…” I said, “No…it’s okay…I wanted to get up
anyway and see if I couldn’t get you to bring me a basin of warm water…I’m
going to wash off his face and hands…he’s got dried blood on him…I’m thinking
probably from the head trauma…”
The nurse said, “Sure honey…in fact I’ll ask one of the physical
therapy nurses to come in and give you a hand and you can actually sponge bathe
him if you’d like…” I said, “Sure…that’s fine…Also, as soon as Mr. McMahon gets
here…could you ask him to come up…I would like to speak to him…”
After I gave Mark his sponge bath…I sat and watched him…finally
about an hour later, Vince came in the room and said, “The nurse said you
wanted to see me?” I said, “Yea…” I stood up and Vince said, “How’s he doing?” I
said, “He was kind of restless during the early morning…but he seems to be
pretty peaceful now…”
Vince said, “So what’s up?” I took a deep breath and sighed heavy
and said, “I want to take Mark back to his home…I would rather he be
comfortable in his own bed, then having to sit in this stupid hospital bed…”
Vince said, “Are you sure?”
I said, “Vince, Look at him? He’s got a hospital gown on that’s
about 4 or 5 times too small for him, his feet are practically dangling over
the edge…he looks like a huge sleeping giant in a small ass bed…he should be in
his own bed…all I would have to do is change his IV bag and catheter bag…which
neither should be too difficult.”
Vince said, “You do realize that Mark doesn’t live in the same ranch
that him and Sara owned…” I was in a state of shock and said, “What?” Vince
nodded and said, “Yea…he took a couple of month off and put the ranch up for
sale…he lives on the other side of Houston now…still out in the country…he had
a whole new ranch built up…it’s actually a little bigger…and the horse have
more free rein over the stables and yard…You think you can handle it?” I smiled
and said, “Absolutely…I have to get him out of here…he just doesn’t look
comfortable.” Vince said, “Okay…I’ll go talk with the doctor and see what we
can do.” I said, “Thanks Vince.” Vince gave me a quick hug and left…while he
was gone a few of the guys came in to see Mark…and check on me…making sure I
was holding up ok.
Vince came back about an hour later…he said, “Okay…all the
arrangements have been made…they will air lift him and you to the hospital in
Houston, and then take him and you by ambulance to the ranch, then a nurse from
the Houston hospital will come by once a day to check on him, and bring you
daily supplies of bandages and IV, she’ll show you how to change IV’s and
catheter bags…She’ll move his IV needle once a month to a different place…it
can’t stay in one place or it will get infected…”
I said, “When are they going to move him?” Vince said, “First thing
in the morning.” I said, “Okay…thanks for everything Vince…” Vince kissed my
forehead and said, “You’re welcome hun…just keep in touch with us.” I smiled
and said, “I will.” And gave him a hug…And he took off to help get the
wrestlers all collected and let them know what was going on.
Chapter 12
**Same Warning**
The next morning, everything went as planned…after I got Mark
situated in his own bed with a pair of sweat pants on and a t-shirt…I went down
to the kitchen and made some soup…I pushed the comfortable overstuffed chair in
the room over next to Mark’s bed and plopped myself down in it and turned the
TV on…I had my feet propped on the bed…eating my soup and watching TV…watching
over Mark…
Day in and day out…I stayed there…I finally had enough and while the
nurse was there one day I asked if she’d stay for an extra couple of hours
cause I needed to get out before cabin fever set it…she sat down and watched
TV, while I left…
I went out and saddled one of the horses and decided a ride would
definitely be nice…I rode all over I even went down to the cemetery and
ventured back to Sara and Glenn’s graves…we obviously had our talk again and
then I rode back…
As I was straightening up the room later that night, I had gotten
accustomed to talking to Mark…even though it really got me no where.
I would talk to him, while I gave him his sponge baths, then I would
wash his hair and pull it back out of his face…sometimes I would put his
bandana and sunglasses on him…Of course that didn’t help the cause but I figured
if I didn’t treat him like he was dead he’d eventually just wake up…I would
shave around his go-tee and mustache…and kept talking to him during it too.
One month turned into two, then three, and 4…eventually 5…During the
fifth month we caught a break…he was fully healed…and now we were just waiting
for him to wake up…if he ever did…
While I was down stairs doing some thing one morning…I kept having
this feeling in the pit of my stomach…like I should be upstairs with Mark…I
thought no…I’m going up there, I’ll just be disappointed when I see he’s still
not up yet…
I had finally cleaned the whole downstairs and decided on cleaning
the upstairs the next day…I went up and took a shower and put some jeans and a
tank top on…I combed my hair and walked into Mark’s room and opened the
curtains to let some of the warmth and sun in the room…
As I was walking into the bathroom I thought I saw the lump in the
bed move his leg…I instantly froze…and then the leg moved again…the sleeping
giant was stirring…and finally a groan came out of him…I literally ran over and
jumped on the bed next to him…I sat on my feet and grabbed his hand…and kept
thinking…’please God let him wake up...please’…Mark’s body was slowly coming
alive…I leaned over and touched his forehead…and said, “Mark…open your eyes
please…please I have to see for myself that you’re okay.”
I had huge tears sliding down my cheeks, and Mark’s eyes slowly
fluttered open…his Emerald green orbs were staring back at me…and Mark said,
“Lori…where am I?” I smiled and said, “You’re at home…” Mark ran a hand down
his face trying to fully wake himself up and he said, “What are you doing here,
shouldn’t you be at work?” I said, “It doesn’t matter…The only thing that
matters is you’re awake…and I’m not leaving until you get better…”
Chapter 13
**Mild Language**
Mark thought he was delusional or something…maybe he was dying…oh
god…what if he had cancer…what the hell was Lori doing at…(Surveying the room…)
his house? Wait he was on the road…what the hell is going on…and why is Lori
crying? Mark felt her hand on his chest and laid his hand across hers and said,
“Lori…honey, what the hell is going on?”
I looked down at Mark and blinked and a fresh new batch of tears
started sliding down my cheeks…Mark reached up and tucked my hair behind my ear
and wiped my tears away and said, “Lori…calm down and talk to me.” I said,
“Mark…you got into a car accident…a drunk driver in a corvette doing close to
120…hit you head on in your rental car…you had a severe concussion and brain
swelling…you had a gash between your forehead and hair line…you slipped into a
coma…you’ve been in a come for nearly 6 months…They didn’t even think you was
going to survive the first night.”
Mark suddenly realized that he could be dead right now…and then the
realization that he could have been in a coma for the rest of his life hit
him…he then also realized why Lori was emotional…his heart nearly fell out of
his chest for her…the last thing he would ever want her to do would be to worry
about him.
Mark reached up and caressed my cheek and said, “Hon, how long have
you been here with me?” I said, “Since 5 hours after you slipped into a
coma…Steph called me and I sort of freaked out…went for a jog…and she called
back again and all she said was that you needed me. She knew out of every thing
she could of said, that was the one that would of made me respond the fastest.”
Mark said, “I’m sorry she scared you…but I’m also glad you came…”
I smiled and said, “I really didn’t have anything more important to
do…so hey…come hang out with a sleeping giant for 6 months…it’s all good…I got
a nice vacation out of the deal.” Mark said, “Gee, thanks Lori…” I giggled and
said, “Anytime.” Mark went to sit up and noticed a rather irritating pain
shooting through his groin…and groaned…I said, “Whoa…Are you okay…that didn’t
sound good.” Mark said, “Possibly because it didn’t feel good…did by any chance
my groin fall off in the accident.”
I busted up laughing and fell back onto the bed…and Mark said, “I’m
glad you find this so amusing…” I got up and said, “No…Your penis did not fall
off honey…you have a catheter in your…what did you think you wouldn’t pee while
you was in a coma?” Mark said, “How do I get that damn thing out?” I said, “You
want me to take it out?” Mark said, “I don’t know if I really want you getting
that personal with me…besides I don’t have any underwear on under there sweats
do I?” I smiled and said, “Well…no…it was easier to sponge bath you with out
having to mess with it…”
Mark said, “Okay…so you sponged bathed me?” I said, “Once…but it was
to get the blood off your face…the nurse that comes by every morning does it…So
you want me to take the catheter out or not?” Mark said, “I still have no
underwear on…” I smiled and said, “It’s okay…I haven’t worn any in years.” Mark
flushed when I said that to him and I laughed…and said, “Do not ask if you
don’t really want to know.”
Mark said, “I didn’t say anything…” I said, “Yea…you say that but
the look on your face said you had an ‘inquiring minds want to know’ look on
your face…I was waiting for you to ask…but figured I’d interject with my
statement.” Mark said, “It’s a probably good thing you did…I was so close to
asking too…” I laughed and said, “Let’s get you better before you go asking a
personal question like that.” Mark said, “Why?” I said, “Cause the answer just
might shock you.”
Mark laid down and I pulled the blanket back over him, cause I
really didn’t want to see him naked…at least not yet…I deflated the catheter
balloon and slowly pulled it out…and put it in the bathroom sink…I also took
the IV out of his hand…
Chapter 14
**Same Warning**
I called the nurse and told her to bring the on-call doctor with her
cause Mark had woken up.
Mark said, “I want to go to the bathroom…” I said, “C’mon…I’m gonna
follow you until you’re sure you’ve got your legs back fully…” I grabbed his
hips and walked behind him, steering him into the bathroom and closing the
door…I heard the biggest moan in my life…followed by what I figured to be
Niagara Falls in the bathroom…
When Mark felt her tiny hands on his hips…it did something to him…he
didn’t realize I much he’d missed being touched…Just touched nothing special…
Mark walked out of the bathroom and had brushed his hair and had it
pulled back…I said, “You wanna get dressed?” Mark said, “Not a bad idea…” I
said, “I’ll wait out in the hall, incase you need anything.” Mark said,
“Yes…Mother.” I gave him the finger and walked out, closing the door behind
me…I heard the door bell ring and through the door said, “Mark, I’m gonna get
the door…Are you gonna be okay?”
Mark said, “Jesus woman…I was in a coma…I’m not dead…go get the damn
door.”
I laughed as I walked down the stairs and let the nurse and the
doctor in…Mark walked down stairs and the doctor gave him a thorough check up,
and then took some blood to run a few tests and make sure everything was
alright…The doctor said, “I want you to come in for a Cardiogram…I want to make
sure that there’s nothing wrong with your heart before I release you to go back
to work.”
Mark was a little hesitant but I looked at him…and he finally agreed
and said he’d have me take him tomorrow…I smiled and mouthed ‘Thank you’. Mark
just nodded at me.
After the doctor and nurse left…I was standing in the kitchen
cutting up some vegetables…and also cooking chicken in the oven…Mark walked
into the kitchen and said, “You know, you’re a sneaky little shit.” I started
laughing and said, “Why am I a sneaky little shit?” Mark said, “Cause…I was
gonna protest about that stupid Cardio…whatever…but you had that look on your
face like I was gonna die…so I just decided to bite the bullet…” I said, “I
didn’t make you do anything…what ever you decided was your very own decision.”
Mark said, “You knew what you was doing when you gave me those sad
ass puppy dog eyes…and you know it.” I said, “I never…” And gave him the look
again…Mark said, “See…see…that’s the look…I knew it…you did it on purpose.” I
hopped up on the counter and said, “Of course I did silly…I don’t like worrying
about you…you’re supposed to be the untouchable one…nothing ever happens to
you…” Mark said, “Now…stop that shit you already know things happen to me…don’t
be silly girl.” I sat there in silence for a minute…Mark knew I’d been to
silent and he looked over and I had tears sliding down my cheeks…Mark walked
over and said, “What are the tears for darlin’?”
I jumped off the counter and walked away and stopped and said,
“Mark…What am I supposed to do? My parents have been dead for a few years
now…Glenn and Sara are both dead…I have a ton of other friends but Mark…you’re
my best friend…what am I supposed to do if something happens to you? I mean, Am
I being punished here…what did I do wrong for God to keep taking away everyone
I ever loved and cared about…I just don’t understand…My life is a complete
mess…”
Chapter 15
**Same Warning**
Mark stood there listening to the tiny brunettes rambling…Lori was
right…they were best friends…there was no one he spent more time on the phone
with then her…other then Sara when they got married…But why was Lori’s voice
crying asking the why questions breaking his heart…he knew he couldn’t answer
them…no one could…
No one could have predicted what was going to happen on the airplane
that day…Glenn and Sara were both excited to be seeing Lori again…but the
excited was ripped out of their hands as he watched his best friend drowned and
his wife die…and then stood by and watched as their bodies were pulled from the
plane still submerged in water…
Mark was suddenly overwhelmed by emotion…he wasn’t going to cry in
front of Lori…but he needed to calm her down…
He looked over where she was standing…and walked over and pulled me
in his arms…and just rubbed my back, trying to comfort me…Mark said, “Lori…you
didn’t do anything…it’s just the way life is sometimes…granted it’s not
fair…but you just have to roll with the punches…I didn’t mean to scare you…I’m
sorry.”
I was sniffling and said, “It’s not your fault…”
Mark said, “You’re life isn’t a total mess…you still have me…and
Paul & Stephanie, Vince & Linda, Torrie & Billy…You’re not
completely alone…I realize you’re not as close with them as you are with
me…but…I’m not always gonna be here ya know.” I said, “I know that Mark…I just
don’t want to think that far ahead of myself…I don’t even care what happens
next week…I just want to get you better and get things back to normal.”
Mark laughed and said, “What’s normal?”
I said, “Me…at work yelling at the computer and you on the road,
knowing exactly when to call me…or you being in some stupid hotel room…laying
in bed talking to me on the phone, while I’m in bed at my apt in Stamford…and
you always telling me which little shit tried to kick the crap out of you in
the ring…and you just being the only one who can make me forget what a shitty
ass day I had…and laugh my ass off and all the stories you tell me about what
went on during the shows that people don’t get to see…”
Mark said, “Are you ever going to come back on the road?” I said, “I
don’t know…I miss being on the road…and seeing everyone on a daily basis…I miss
not seeing you for 6 months to a year at a time…I realize talking on the phone
helps…but it’s not the same…I watch you and the other guys wrestle Mondays and
Thursdays…and constantly feel like I’m missing parts of myself…it’s like I have
a life that goes with me in Connecticut…but then when I’m around you…this fits
too…I can’t have everything I want…It doesn’t work like that..”
Mark said, “I have a good idea…After I get clearance from the doctor
to go back to work…why don’t you come with me…you love traveling and you know
Vince will let you do you’re work from the laptop like you was before.” I said,
“I don’t know.” Mark said, “At least think about it until I have to leave…you
don’t have to decide right now.” I smiled and said, “Okay…I’ll think about it.”
Mark said, “Good…” And kissed the top of my head.
The next morning I took Mark to the doctor’s office and they did the
cardiogram…his heart was in great condition…the doctor said from the blood
results everything was great…he was a little anemic because he’d been sleeping
for the last 6 months and not getting up to run around…but that as soon as he
fell back into a pattern…the anemia should pretty much be non-existent…and
released him to go back to work in a week.
Mark called Vince when we got back to the house…Vince told him he
was in no rush to throw him back into the ring…he gave Mark a month off to get
some gym time in and get back into shape…I smiled evilly…cause I said I’d help
bust Mark’s ass to get it back in shape. And that’s exactly what I did…and it
still left him time to smack around his punching bag in the garage…I was
relentless…
Chapter 16
**Mild Language**
A month later…Mark was packing to leave back on the wrestling
tour…and I was sitting on his bed…he said, “Are you sure you won’t reconsider?”
I smiled and said, “Nah…I’m just gonna go back home and pretty much get my life
back together…I mean you do realize I have a life outside of this state right?”
Mark smirked and said, “Smart ass…” I said, “When is you’re plane leaving?”
Mark said, “Noon tomorrow…what about yours?” I said, “7am...” Mark said, “I
should be up by then…I’ll take ya to the airport…” I said, “Nah…I already
ordered a cab...” Mark said, “Damn stubborn ass.”
I said, “Yea, well I learned from the best baby.” Mark said, “I am
not stubborn...” I said, “Sure…and I’m the Virgin Mary.” Mark said, “Oh no
you’re not…” I said, “Precisely…just like you’re as big a stubborn ass as me…”
Mark looked down at me and said, “Watch it woman.” I stuck my tongue out at him
as I took off out the door…the microwave beeped and the popcorn was done…
I was sitting on the couch in the living room, watching TV…when Mark
came in and as he sat down next to me…he shoved my entire body like 2 inches
over…I elbowed him and said, “Excuse you…You’re a pushy little thing aren’t
ya?” Mark smiled and said, “Hush up woman…This is my couch.” I said, “What did
you piss here to mark your territory?” Mark said, “No…but I can if you’d like.”
I said, “Hell no…but keep messing with me and I will…”
Mark laughed hard…and I just shook my head at him…
Suddenly…I looked up at him and he looked down at me at the same
time…Mark hooked his finger under my chin and pulled my head up a little and
brushed his lips against mine softly. Mark softly ran his tongue over my bottom
lip and I slowly opened my mouth and gave him access…Mark’s tongue snaked it’s
way into my mouth…and I let out a little moan against his tongue and lips…
Mark grabbed my hip and pulled me up and over and I sat straddled on
his lap…we didn’t break the kiss though…I could feel his hands all over my
body…His lips against mine was just comfortable…it felt so good…Marks lips left
mine, but he kissed down my jaw line, down the side of my neck…his hands slowly
traveled up my tank top and cupped both my breasts…In between kisses being
placed down my neck, Mark said, “I’ve been meaning to ask you something?” I
said, “What?” And exhaled hard…
Mark said, “That day in my room…when you took my catheter out…you
said you hadn’t worn panties in years…” I said, “Yea.” Almost losing t when the
tip of his tongue grazed the little spot behind my earlobe…Mark continued his
assault on my neck…and I could feel him sliding my nipples between his index
and middle fingers…and he squeezed a little…and said, “Well…I was just
wondering…how true that statement was…” I said, “Well…why don’t you find out
for yourself.”
Mark’s hands slowly felt my breasts as he captured my lips again,
and his hands slid down to my ass…then lower to the bottom of my jean
shorts…and then his hands slowly slid under the jean material, and I felt the
soft flesh of his hands come in contact with my panty less ass…His lips found
my neck again as I heard a groan come out of his mouth against my
throat…oops…he must of suddenly realized that the statement was true…I giggled
a little as I felt Mark caressing my ass…Mark removed his hands from my shirt
and pulled down one strap on my shirt and kissed all around my shoulder and
then replaced the strap back in place…then he moved to the other side and
repeated what he’d done on the other side…
Mark said, “You think we should move this to another room?” I said,
“Probably…” Mark said, “So…kitchen or bedroom?” I said, “Are you gonna cook me
or make love to me?” Mark said, “Actually I was thinking of slapping you on the
grill and making you hot and then make love to you.” I said, “Well…can we skip
the grill action…I’d rather spend the night making love to you…” Mark said,
“What a great idea…Are we really sure of what were getting ready to do?” I
said, “Probably not.” Mark said, “You think we’re going to regret this in the
morning?” I said, “Yea…for about 5 seconds…” Mark said, “It’s worth it…I can
take 5 minutes of regret after a night of making love to you.” I said, “Fully
agreed.”
Chapter 17
**S M U T WARNING**
Mark stood up with me in his arms and carried me up stairs to his
bedroom and closed the door…he laid me on the bed…
*****************************

*****************************
Mark laid next to me and started kissing my lips softly…all I could
do was surrender to him…I wanted it as much as he did…and at that point there
was no turning back…what ever the consequences were…we were willing to except
them…no matter what.
*****************************
I wanna know you that good!
Like no one knows you
Gonna reach way down deep in your mind
I wanna get you know you –
Wanna get to know
Wanna get to know you that good
*****************************
Mark kissed down over my material covered breasts…and lift my shit a
little and was kissing around my stomach and navel…while his hands were softly
caressing me in places I couldn’t imagine that could be caressed…like my waist,
hips…outer thighs…Just the feel of his big hands on me…was comforting…
*****************************
Gonna know you right through
You know I want to
So badly it hurts all the time
I wanna get to know you –
Wanna get to know
Wanna get to know you that good, Yeah

*****************************
Mark unbuttoned and unzipped my jean shorts and opened them and
kissed down on my lower abdomen…he slid his tongue over and kissed my left hip
and the slide his tongue over and kissed and caressed my right hip…
*****************************
Every feel of your fingers –

*****************************
He rolled me over onto my stomach…and was kissing the small of my
back…he pulled my shirt up and off and was running kisses up and down my
vertebrae…he came up to my shoulder and was kissed my shoulders, shoulder
blades and the back of my neck…
He had his arm around across the top of my chest from shoulder to
shoulder…I was kissing along his forearm…and just could feel the heat radiating
off his arm…and his hand that had slowly ran down my back and sides where my
ribs were…his hands had lightly brushed against my breasts…
Mark turned me back over onto my back, and I reached down and tugged
his t-shirt off…Mark started kissing my lips again, while caressing my breasts
and stomach…I was running my hands down his chest and gently pushed him over
onto his back and slowly kissed down his throat to his chest…I gave his nipples
a little tease when I slowly licked around them and then blew hot air onto
them…they perked up and Mark groaned from the back of his throat…I placed
feather light kisses down his sternum…and traced the tattoo on his 6-pak with
my tongue and lips…
I unbuttoned and unzipped Mark’s jeans and when I pulled them open I
could just see the head of Marks erection peaked out…I slowly ran my tongue
over head…and got a deep - DEEP moan from Mark…Mark’s erection was strained
against the material of his jeans…and he pulled his jeans off and the laid me
flat on my back and slowly pulled my shorts down my long legs and threw them in
the collecting pile of clothes on the floor…
*****************************
I wanna know you that good!
Like no one knows you
Gonna reach way down deep in your mind
I wanna get you know you –
Wanna get to know
Wanna get to know you that good Ohhh…
Oooo yea-yea Oooh...
Ohhh, I wanna know you that good
*****************************
Mark slowly crawled up my body and softly spread my legs with his
big hands…Mark looked into my eyes as if asking permission to go further…I just
nodded my approval…and Mark slowly started sliding his erection all the way
into my core…I couldn’t help but let out a ferrous moan…We both realized this
is exactly where we needed to be at that second…Once Mark was fully sheathed in
me, he kept still letting every part of my body adjust to him…he could tell by
how tight I was…I hadn’t had sex since Glenn’s death…and I could tell with as
hard and as swollen Mark’s erection was, he hadn’t had sex since Sara’s death
either…
Mark started slowly moving in and out of me…and I was holding on…I
was kissing Mark’s neck and ear and finally started begging him to go faster…it
was his undoing…he started slamming into me as hard and as fast as he could…he
pulled my knees up and gripped the back of my thighs and pushed them apart
further to stroke deeper into me…I was almost on the brink of insanity…
“Mmm…God Mark…you feel so good…Oh god….” “God Damn…Lori honey you’re so
tight…so feel so good wrapped around me…Mmm…God I wanna feel you cum so bad
baby…huh…you wanna cum for me baby girl?”
*****************************
Wanna know your emotions –
Wanna taste every tear
Wanna hear you breathin’
Feel what your feelin’
I wanna get to know
Know you that good!
*****************************
All I could do was moan and nod…cause he started thrusting as hard
and as deep into me as he could…my whole body was about to explode…I clamped my
eyes shut tight…and Mark leaned down and said, “Open you’re eyes baby I want
you to look me in the eyes when you cum…” I opened my eyes…we kept our eyes
locked on each other…and finally I started falling over the edge…My orgasm
raked through my body…and as soon as Mark felt my walls clamping down, milking
him as I cam…Mark growled out his release…Mark thrusted one last time, and cam
loud…I felt him slam so deep inside of me…I thought there was no way he’d find
his way out without a mining helmet…feeling him explode so deep into me…only
made me cum again…Mark rode me hard through both of my orgasms…
*****************************
Like no one knows you
Gonna reach way down deep in your mind
I wanna get to know you –
Wanna get to know
I wanna get to know you –
Wanna get to know
Wanna get to know you
To know you
Ohhh…Oooo
I wanna know you by heart
Oh, I wanna know you that good
*****************************
Chapter 18
**Mild Language**
Mark collapsed on the bed next to me…and we just laid there staring at each
other in silence until we both fell asleep…I was half asleep when I felt Mark
reach over and pull me into his arms…I as too far into Heaven to really care
that I had just made love to my best friend…I fell asleep.
Mark laid there holding Lori, he could smell the strawberry shampoo she used
for her hair…the smell was intoxicating…he could feel himself getting hard
again just from the scent of her…he couldn’t hardly believe he’d just made love
to his best friend…He didn’t know if he should feel good about it or not…was
their friendship over…was it just getting better…is what she really wanted…
Mark fell asleep…
We woke each other numerous times during the night to make love again…it was
just kind of one of those making love nights…we’d sleep like an hour in between
every time…We made love probably close to 7 times…
I woke up around 5:30…And slid out of bed as quietly as possible…and went to
take a shower…and get dressed…At 6…I walked in and set Mark’s alarm to wake him
up in time for his flight…and also left a note for him…I grabbed my suitcase
and cell phone and as soon as I walked out the front door the cab pulled up…I
put my bag in the car next to me…and the cab took me to the air port…
At 7…I was in the air on my way back home…
When Mark’s alarm went off he rolled over and saw the note on the pillow…he
grabbed it and it said:
**********************************
Absolutely NO Regrets! I enjoyed spending the night in a mans arms…the fact
that the arms belonged to my best friend made it that much more enjoyable…I
know things may never be the same between us again…but I can live with that…
It was definitely worth every minute, every touch and every single kiss…You
made me remember what it feels like to feel loved again and also what it feels
like to be a woman again…I haven’t had that in a really long time.
I know most fans don’t like the fact that you have a life outside of the
Undertaker…but the man outside of the Undertaker…Mark Callaway definitely
earned some brownie points with me last night…Thank you for everything Mark…I
love you.
Love, Lori
**********************************
Mark was almost moved to tears…then suddenly realized he was alone again…he
would be going back on the road…and would be alone again…damn…that’s what you
call real life…He got mad because Lori didn’t wake him up when she was
leaving…of course…with as hard as he was taking her being gone…she probably
took it just as hard leaving this morning…
He would make a mental note to call her when he got to his hotel room tonight…
Which he did…I saw the name on the called ID…and decided against answering for
once in my life…it would be the first time I didn’t answer the phone when Mark
called me…I just wanted to bask in the after glow of our love making the night
before…I really did love him with all my heart…the scary part was…I was falling
in love with him…There was nothing more that I wanted to do then answer the
phone and confess everything I was feeling…but I didn’t want to do it over the
phone…I wanted to be standing face to face…or in my case face to chest…and tell
him every feeling that was running through my veins…
I was sitting on my couch and leaned over and hit speaker phone to listen to my
voice mail which I KNOW he left. He said:
“Alright girl…this is the first time I’ve ever called and you haven’t
answered…there better be a damn good reason for it…I have to tell ya something
Lori…I love ya darlin’…This isn’t exactly the way I wanted to say it to you…but
I wanted to tell you before I lost my nerve…I love you…I mean…you see, what I
meant to say was…I’m in love with you…or rather falling in love with you…Jesus,
Mary and Joseph…I can’t believe I just said that to you on your voice mail…How
fuckin’ retarded do I sound now? Damn…don’t answer that question…”
He sighed heavy and continued, “You know you damn near had me crying in my own
bed this morning after I read that note you left me…but then I got pissed…I
should whip your ass for leaving without saying good-bye…can’t say as I blame
you though…I imagine leaving was a hard thing for you to do, probably as hard
as me having to come to the reality of you not being with me…I want you here
with me…and I need you here with me…by my side…I want you to be the first
person I see in the morning…and the last before I fall asleep… Listen Lori…I
don’t care what time it is when you get this message…Call me please…I’ve never
needed anything in my life…but Honestly Lori…I need you…”
And then he just hung up…
Chapter 19
**Same Warning**
I had tears sliding down my cheeks…I never realized Mark was feeling the same
way I was…God I just got back home…I’m crazy…I can’t believe I’m doing this…I
turned speaker phone back on and said, “Call Stephanie.”…My phone said,
“Calling Stephanie.” It rang a few hundred times and a voice said, “Lori….you
shit…what are you doing?” I said, “Trying to figure out where you guys are?”
Steph said, “We’re in Seattle…why what’s wrong? Are you looking for Mark?” I
said, “Nothing’s wrong…yes I’m looking for Mark…but I’m don’t want him
knowing…I’ll be there for Smackdown tomorrow night…probably after his match…”
Steph said, “What’s going on…you guys just left each other this morning…” I
said, “Steph…I’m in love with him…and I have to tell him face to face or I’ll
hate myself for the rest of my life…Please keep it to yourself…I wanna surprise
him.” Steph said, “Sure Lori…anything you want.” I said, “Thanks Steph…see you
tomorrow night.” She said, “Okay.” We hung up…and I pulled my laptop out and
found a flight to Seattle for the early morning…
The next morning I was on the flight and when I got to Seattle it was probably
around 5 pm…I got a rental car and headed over to the arena…which was about 45
minutes from the airport…a song came on the radio and for some reason it was
like my driving song to go after Mark…I turned the volume up loud and was
singing at the top of my lungs with the song…
Artist: Shania Twain
Album: Up!

*****************************
When I got to the arena…I walked in the back door and showed my ID…then I stopped
by the match schedules and noticed Mark was already in the ring…I walked down
and stood in the back just behind the titan tron curtains…
Mark won obviously…he didn’t even break a sweat…he walked through the
curtains…and saw me standing there with my hands in my back pockets…
Mark said, “I oughta bust your ass…I’ve been calling and calling…you had me
worried to death you know that right? Why didn’t you answer your phone girl?” I
said, “I had some thing I was thinking about…I mean you do realize I do have a
life of my own ya know.” Mark put his hands on his hips and said, “Are you
getting Sassy with me girl?” I said, “Of course…” Mark started to say something
when I held up my hand and cut him off…and said, “So…um…that message that you
left on my voice mail last night…I was wondering how much of that statement was
true?”
Mark said, “Come closer and find out for yourself.” I smiled and walked
closer…and Mark slid his arm around me and lifted me with one arm to be level
with him…and I wrapped my legs around his waist and he slid both hands under my
ass so I wouldn’t fall…I smiled and leaned over and kissed his lips…we stood in
the hallway kissing for a good 15 minutes…and when we pulled back I said, “I
love you Mark.” Mark smiled and said, “I love you too girl.”
Chapter 20
**Same Warning**
- -Fast Forward 4 Years- -
Mark and Lori were sitting on the back porch…Mark watching as the 4 year old
brunette twins who looked so much like their momma…then barreling out of no
where 2 year old Marcus JR…came running over and tackled the girls to the
ground…
I couldn’t help but look at the 3 some rolling around on the ground…I started
laughing, while sitting on Mark’s lap…and said, “Those are your children…they
have your genes…”
Mark said, “No ma’am…I’m only taking credit for Marcus…he’s the only one in the
bunch that looks like me…” I smiled and said, “He does that you’re eyes and
hair…and you’re brute strength…he just took down his sisters that out weigh him
by like 20 lbs each…what do you mean you’re only taking credit for
Marcus…you’re the one who knocked me up with the twins first and then poor
Marcus…you and him are the only boys…we’re one girl stronger then you…”
Mark said, “Okay fine…then started tonight we’re gonna start trying for another
boy…I want this to be an even sided house…me and the boys and you and the
girls…”
I smiled and Mark said, “What? What are you smiling about?” I said, “Oh…didn’t
I tell you?” Mark said, “No you never tell me anything.” I laughed and said,
“Well…we’ve already got a head start on baby number 4…so you better start
praying now it’s a boy…” Mark said, “Really?” I smiled and said, “Yup…I love
you Mark Callaway.” Mark said, “I love you Lori Callaway.”
We started kissing when Ashley, Alicia and Marcus came over and Ashley said,
“Eww…That’s gross mom.” Alicia said, “What does that taste like?” Marcus just
looked at us like we were insane…
Mark and I started laughing…Mark stood up and placed me on my feet and grabbed
my hand and we walked off into the back yard with the kids, playing running
around and have a good time…
We lived happily ever after…Mark, me, the girls Ashley and Alicia, Marcus
JR…and the last set of Twin boys…Jonathan and Joseph..
The End...
