~ I Tried So Hard ~

["The New Era Icon" David Calaz]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So close you could almost touch it, one hand on the gold only for it to be cruely whisked away from right under your nose.

Nothing you want more in life than to do someone proud. Make yourself feel good by making someone else feel good. Nothing could be done.

You can't erase the past, but you can learn from your mistakes and work toward the future.

Next time...will be my time.

A crash of waves hitting a set of rocks roars through the air and then slowly dies down, a small splash can be heard followed by a gulp, the camera pans down from the clear blue sky to a rocky beach, On the beach with his back to the camera sits Calaz, he has his top off and a large bandage is visible around his waist, as the camera moves around to the side of him he throws a rock into the sea, causing the same splashing noise from before, he sits for a while, every now and then picking up a rock and throwing it into the sea. Suddenly on his shoulders appear a set of feminine hands, they begin to massage slowly, Calaz whinges in pain but allows the hands to carry on.

Slowly the camera moves up the arms and reveals Becs, she smiles softly and leans in closer to Calaz softly whispering into his ear.

~ Becs ~
How you feeling today? Any better?

Slowly panning back to Calaz the camera catches a glimpse of Calaz throwing another rock into the sea. As he fully comes into shot he is still sighing and sulking. His actions are very carefree and lifeless.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
Physically I'm OK, but mentally I'm screwed, I was supposed to win that title at The Aftermath, for me, for you and more importantly for Jerry

Becs leans further forward taking her hands from his shoulders and slowly wrapping her forearms loosely around Calaz's neck, she rests her head on his broad shoulder.

~ Becs ~
You know what? I bet he's up there right now telling you to get off your ass and go train, You know damn well he would be proud of you no matter the outcome of that match. He always was and forever will be proud of you Dave.

Calaz grins and tilts his head toward Becs giving her a small kiss on the top of her head. They both smile and share a passionate hug while the camera returns to the sky still with the crashing of the waves echoing throughout the beach.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
Becs... I think your right...

The camera stays on the sky for a while until eventually fading to black.

[glow=LimeGreen,2,300]So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.

OOC: Only a small one, writers block of some sort, better next one I promise.
