Use one quote from a movie, and Lauren goes ape. How hilarious this is. I can see you are just as tempermental as I am.
You know what your problem is ? Your WAY too uptight about things. I can't even look at you straight in the eye without you getting offended by it, its quite ridiculous if you ask me.
Consider yourself Lauren to be one of the lucky ones... to have a family I mean. Even though it may only be yourself & your daughter. At LEAST thats ten times better then being alone.
Put yourself into my shoes for five minutes and you will understand. Cause sometimes, its not all about the ego or about being the best. Although, those are the things that keep me motivated from killing myself.
Brandon turns his back and takes 2-3 steps away from Lauren.
I've never told anyone, but..
...
...
I have no family !
No wife.. no children... no brothers or sisters.... not even parents.
To make a long story short. Lets just say I had a rather fucked up childhood. That people like you could never begin to comprehend.
Wrestling... being the very best in the industry. Struggling to keep my dream alive. Is what drives me to keep going each and every day. Gives me a purpose in life, ya know.
Brandon clinches his fist, holding it high in the air as he turns back around to face Lauren. Tears begin to appear in his eyes.
Do you know what it likes Lauren ? To wonder through life, not knowing where or how your own brother and sister are doing ? Are they living a good life ? Were they taken care of by there adopted families ?
Questions that I may never be able to answer. Lost feelings that I keep buried inside. It burns me up everyday of my life just thinking about it.
I tried looking them up, but to no such luck. The only thing I know about them is that after... the incident.. we were all seperated. Myself, Markus, and Amanda. According to my adoptive parents. The authorities felt it was best to split us up. Me and my brother were the first to be adopted when I was around two years old. Then later on, my younger sister was adopted.
But wait a second. According to Brandon Payne's official biography. He lived a happy and normal life ?
Guess you can't believe everything you read in the papers huh ? When I got older and first turned pro. I purprosly made up a ficitional story about how I lived a good life and achieved the 'american dream' of becoming a professional wrestler.
When in reality.. that could be no further from the truth.
Other then knowing there names. I don't know anything about my brother or sister. Hell... I barely even remember my own biological parents.
Don't you see Lauren ?
I could never love anyone else besides myself.
Because if I do. I'm afraid I'll lose them.. just like my parents. And I cannot afford for lightning to strike twice.
Brandon wiped the tears away from his eyes. All along, the egotisticle, hot-headed, and cold hearted Brandon Payne was battling with demons that no person could ever begin to imagine. In the end, Payne became the way he is based on his tragedy. The bitterness, hate, and anger was all a result of a horrible tragedy that he kept buried inside his heart for years and years. |

Don't fall for it Lauren it is a trick
Lauren moves closer to Brandon, and she pulls down the strap to her top to reveal a scar something she was self conscious about. Never revealed it to anyone other than Logan and Angel... She makes Brandon take a look at it
"Yeah, I may have came from a rich background... But my life hasn't been at all easy Brandon. This scar was when my own father thought I should be punished, what father takes a blade to a 14 year old girl to punish them? I'm not perfect and I don't profess to be... saying that I have had an easy life because I am not an orphan, because my parents never split up... Do you know how hard it is to watch your mother take beating after beating from a drunken pig? His excuse pain killers and alcohol, the two best friends of a professional wrestler. I've got to be the only woman that doesn't scream from the rooftop that she is a second generation wrestler why? Because I am better than my father ever was, I wouldn't beat my child
Brandon your life was hard and yes it must have screwed with your head... I'm sorry that you see the world differently... I saw you as a nice guy and that was my mistake. Just think there is two sides to every story, I can only say that growing up with two parents wasn't a cake walk either. I can't even begin to imagine what it is like to be an orphan, I don't know if your life has been harder than mine or not. Having a daughter that I don't even know where she is isn't ten times better than having no one, like you said with your sisters I wonder what she is doing every second. I made a mistake I didn't challenge the court order... Everybody makes mistakes even you"
Lauren walks over to Brandon and lifts her hand
Don't do it Lauren
ever-so gently Lauren places her hand on his cheek, feeling the course hairs on it
"I understand it's hard letting people in but it's something that sometime, somewhere you'll have to do. There are better ways of protecting yourself than being an ass to everyone who cares for you"
Lauren kisses him on the cheek
Sucker, he has you right where he wants you Lauren
"Good night Brandon... and if you look me in the eye I won't get offended... Since tonight you looked just about everywhere else and that didn't offend me...
Take care"

I guess it was my mistake to tell you... I thought you were the only one that would care. Seems like I was also wrong about you. One thing I can see we do have in common is that our families both fucked us over. Yet here we are not really doing anything about it.
For me, there is still a glimmer of hope. I honestly gave up looking for them a few years back before I became a pro wrestler full time. Now, with my career somewhat winding down. Maybe its time for me to continue my search ?
If I could at least find one of them by years end. I can be satisfied with that. It doesn't matter to me about the way they look or act. I just want to know that they are okay and doing fine. Thats all that matters to me at this point.
In a way.. its been a dream of mine. To one day be reunited with my family. My parents may be gone, but there is hope for me to be with my brother and sister once again. I wonder if they have any kids ? Who knows, I could be an uncle and not know about it. What if something happened to either one of them ? Questions that will continue to lie unanswered until I can find them both.
Lauren... go do as you please. I can't allow you to get involved with this. If something happens to you... I... oh... nevermind.
Brandon calmly thinks to himself:
If anything happens to you Lauren. I could never forgive myself. I can't risk it. Then again, you are strong. I'm sure you could handle yourself. But... if you are killed or hurt badly... I don't even want to think about the consequences it would play on myself and your daughter. |

"For once Brandon you were actually right, I do care... but you have to let me in a little, you need to trust me... I know from what others have told you that might be hard but you trusted them and took their word without even knowing me... My ex-husband's views of me are bound to be warped. I have to fight for my daughter I don't want her to remain with that psycho but I have to go through the courts just to find them
I understand that you are a survivor, aren't we all? But being a survivor is a lonely thing, especially the way you are going about it. Sometimes you need people and even you will admit this eventually Brandon. I'm not trying to hurt you but advise you, if you keep pushing away you'll find you'll have more enemies and that isn't something you need right now... I'll help you find them... My safety is not your concern I'm a big girl even if I don't always act that way
Here is something to get you started"Lauren pulls out her phone and some paper, moving over to the phone box for enough shelter to write. She looks in her phone for a number, and she writes it down and another one, she folds it up and moves over and holds it out to Brandon
"Here is a number for a private investigator I know... he owes me a favor so say you are a friend of Lauren Kennedy and he won't charge you. The other number is mine... call me when you are ready to roll... my car arrives in the morning... and remember it can't rain all the time"The barefaced cheek of the woman using the same quote that she scolded him for using...  |

Brandon takes the paper out of her hand and begins to look at the number. Then replies:
Well Lauren.. consider this your first step into possibly entering my 'circle of trust'. A circle that VERY FEW people even exist in.
To be honest, what Logan said about you during our time elsewhere. He wasn't actually being negative really.
He spoke of good things about you. You know, if I didn't know any better. I'd say a part of him still loves you. Sure, there was some negative comments he said about you. But most of them was out of anger and jealously. I really don't think he meant everything. But thats just my opinion.
However... there was one thing that he did say about you. That I have to admit is most definitely true...
You are a bit on the annoying side are you ??
Brandon says with a cocky, arrogant smirk as he continues on.
You know, perhaps I COULD use you in this little investigation.
Just for the little things.. like carrying my luggage around, taking care of my phones calls and business arrangements, doing my laundry, fixing my meals, gosh... I could go on and on.
What was Lauren to him ? His new servant ? (laughs)
If you think I'm joking around.. you better think again. I mean, I AM an Elite of course. The best of the best, and nothing less !
IF... and this is a BIG if. We ever 'got together' in a relationship. You'll have to learn to do three things:
1. Love
2. Honor
and most improtantly...
3. OBEY !
Gee, you think Mr. Payne could be a little less egotistic sometimes. Especially around the ladies. But who knows, perhaps once he settles down. He may actually change..
...
...
NAH !
So, Lauren. This 'contact' of yours. Do you really believe this person could help me ? This better not be a fluke. I don't have time for little games.
And yeah... I may just call you tomorrow morning. Any particular time ? |

Lauren smiles as she goes back to the phone to write another number, and she hands Brandon the paper
"Meals fixed, but I don't do luggage carrying or laundry unless you want to wear clothes that have shrunk? Logan probably should have told you that I wasn't the model wife in that respect. Phone calls sure I'll make sure that you don't get booked in a match that'll get you hurt since you are winding down that young career of yours... I thought I was old at 26 but I guess by your standards I must be ancient"
She says with a smile as she just copied the number for the pizza place across the street, then she thinks about the circle of trust deal
I won't say anything about that
"Oh he is good, if he can't find the person you are looking for then it means that they never existed. You can call me around 10, after I have been to the gym, this conversation has made me feel out of shape... Chunky indeed I say... As for the OBEY part? We'll just see how that works out for ya sweetcheeks"
Just then a taxi arrived, must have been one ordered for somebody
"Well, I guess I'd better get going, got a long walk ahead of me... and I have no umbrella" |

Yeah... you've been saying goodbye to me like 3-4 times now. I didn't think you'd ever leave  . But hey, its understandable. All ladies like to flock around me for as long as they can.
As for this number. Yeah.. I guess could give the pizza guy a call later. I'd might order me some food later before I head off to bed.
Brandon smiles at Lauren as he puts the paper in his front pocket.Nice try Lauren. But your forgetting I've been in New York for a pretty good while. I could recognize this number blindfolded. Me and a few of my older TNB alum's about a year ago used to get pizza from here all the time (laughs).
As for the other stuff. To be honest, I was mostly kidding. I just wanted to see what your reaction would be. I have to say, Lauren, your WAY too easy.... in a dumb, gullible sorta way.
Anyways, have a nice night Sweetheart. I'll see you around . |

Lauren turns and begins to walk away, the rain falling harder now and her hair holding nearly all that fell. Felt rather heavy on her shoulders as she walked, part of her thought Brandon would have walked her home. After all New York had a reputation, not that Lauren couldn't handle herself it was she rather liked playing the damsel in distress. Now she knew that Brandon wasn't a typical knight in shining armour, maybe more bullish
"I thought there might have been some hope for him"
Lauren shrugs her shoulders as she continues her walk
"Men" |

LAUREN ! WAIT UP !!!
Brandon comes running to Lauren.
Damn you walk fast (laughs). Do you care if I walk you home ? Its just that... well... it is New York ya know. You can get mugged, shot at, or anything could happen to you. Its not safe walking home by yourself. Also, I thought you were getting a cab ? |

Michael looks on as Brandon and Lauren leave the bar. Mike just shrugs as he orders a beer. He pays for it and chugs it down. He stands up and walks out of the bar. Looking on as Brandon and Lauren walk down the side walk. He simply scoffs. Seemingly being forgetting that he was even there. He turns and walks the opposite way. Walking into the darkness. |

"I don't have the money for a cab, I seem to have misplaced my purse... and after those words I feel kind of chunky so maybe the walk will do me good, as for this being a bad place I can only confess I am a little scared to walk alone. I suppose I'll get used to it. BUT you didn't hear me say that OK?"Lauren had her pride too ;D I think there is hope for him yet |

The taxi driver came out.
Taxi Driver: Hey, are you two Lauren Blayze and Brandon Payne? A guy named James Bowen called a taxi for the both of you. Don't worry, he already paid the tab.

*Hmph* How very smart of that guy. See Lauren, it pays to put people down sometimes.
So, shall we continue walking or take the cab Lauren ? Either way is fine. |

James stepped out of nowhere.
James: You're wrong, Brandon. The reason why I called a cab for you two, is because I don't want to hear something the next day about two wrestlers jailed for a DUI or about one or two wrestlers killed in a car accident, because one or both were drunk. I've lost a lot of fellow wrestlers, because of it. Don't make the same mistake.
James then walked away to his car to go home.

Looks like we've got ourselves a guardian angel Lauren (sarcasm). *Hmph* Piss off kid. I'm an Elite ! There's no way anything bad could EVER happen to me. Now Lauren on the other hand.. thats a different story. You might be able to impress her by showing that you care. But me, bah ! I live on my strength alone. There's no way that I could ever be taken down by a insolent little pest on the streets.
Here's your lesson for tonight, Mr. Bowen:
Lesson #1 kid: Worrying about others is for the weak !
So Jimmy Jam Garvin, thanks... but no thanks for your help. Don't worry about me. I'm sure I could handle myself.
*Brandon looks down at his watch, which reads 2:30 am*Shouldn't you be in bed, kid ? Its WAAAAAAY past your bedtime. I'm sure momma & poppa Bowen are going to be worried about you  .
What an asshole. All Bowen tried to do was offer help to BP. But because of his self-centered, egotistical, prideful self. Payne shot down Bowen's offer. Would Lauren do the same ?
She probably won't she's too weak. |

. But hey, its understandable. All ladies like to flock around me for as long as they can.
