Yes, fuck it! It seems like since I failed to retain my Undisputed Championship at X-Fest I've become a recluse...well besides constantly having the shit kicked out of me, though what I did to Flawless last week half made up for it. That's why I've decided to arrive early in Portland to get ready for an unquestionably important match. How important you ask? Important enough that I'm drinking coffee...and I fucking HATE coffee! Ok...I mean it does have some whiskey in it, which helps and is probably why I'm actually drinking it. Nothing cures a headache like an Irish coffee, and I'm not sure if it's more from my hangover or watching Jaime Flawless promos on a loop...his voice though, like nails on a goddamn chalk board. As I stare off, probably falling asleep from watching said promos, I hear something behind me that causes my head to jerk. That's when I see...

Eva trying her best to move past without her heels making too much noise. Busted. She looks at Howell then back at the screen before looking at him again.
Eva And to think you were the one who saved me from that back in the day.

My face is full of surprise, because I did not expect to see Eva around these parts again. I'm sure I hid that reaction as well as Hillary hid her deleted e-mails...hey-oh! Relax Trumpophobes, I'm voting for Vermin Supreme...he's promising a free pony for everyone; fucking right! Anyway...
Howell: Well you know, I'm the saving people type of guy...
Politifact would probably say that is "mostly false" but I've done my fair share at least. Why is politics on the brain? It's the fucking coffee I swear...
Howell: You look...better.
Brendan, use your words. Better? Jesus...ok this one I'm going to blame on the Flawless promos.

Eva Better?
She shook her head softly.
Eva Better enough to be back here sure. I'm working through my issues.
She says.
Eva It's been a long time since we spoke.

I give her a nod, agreeing on all accounts.
Howell: Right, better than the last time I saw you, that's for fucking sure. When you were trying to...
My brain kicks in at the right moment, as I stop myself short and try not to bring it up since who knows what that will bring out.
Howell: But yeah it's been a while...not like you had a reason to want to talk to someone who did what I did.
Again, not getting specific, since how do you remind someone that you intentionally broke their neck? Back in the days when I was a MUCH bigger prick.

Eva swollowed probably through nerves as she thought things through. She then actually points at the vacant seat next to him.
Eva Do you mind?
When he shows no objection she goes and sits down.
Eva I'm not going to commit suicide. Over Alex Andrews? He's not even worth that. Don't get me wrong the thought crossed my mind but now... No. And to say I can sit here with the man who almost paralysed me, speaks volumes.

I look at her seated next to me and back at the screen...even if it is causing me to want to claw out my eyeballs.
Howell: Yeah well, it's funny because Alex and I get along pretty fucking good again, even after everything that went down. That can give you some hope that one day the two of you might be cool as well...
Probably not any time soon, but stranger things have happened...I mean like she said she is sitting with the guy who tried to make sure she could never walk again. Ok, can't take anymore Flawless, as I turn off the screen and turn back towards Eva.
Howell: I was surprised when I saw you, but I'm even more surprised that you're sitting here. You sure you're good?

Eva I heard you and Alex were good again. Maybe one day me and him could be good too. Maybe..
She says acknowledging the comment.
Eva And I'm good. Seriously everyone seems to think I'm going to fall apart at a moments notice.
Eva says looking at the now blank TV screen.
Eva I'm not. Anyway, despite everything I'm kinda glad to see you.

Once again my face shows some surprise.
Howell: You're kinda glad to see me?
I scratch my head, trying to take that full statement in.
Howell: I'm not saying you're crazy or anything, but...why?

Eva I realised something. Back when you did what you did to me I threw all the blame at you. When in reality I should have blamed Alex for not doing a good enough job in protecting me.
She shrugged.
Eva And you've had to deal with addictions in the past right?
She asked in a much smaller voice now.

Howell: You can't blame Alex for what happened, because honestly no one is going to stop me when my mind is set on something. I did it, so it's on me and no one else...period. I can't take it back, but I'm sorry that it happened...it's definitely one of the more fucked up things I've done.
The most fucked up really, at least if we're only talking about in the XHW. I let out a deep breath.
Howell: Addiction? I've dealt with plenty of that and still do on a daily basis...it's not something that's ever just in the past. There are some that will never go away, but I just think those are just some of the things that make me who I am.

Eva heard what he said about Alex but she didn't accept it. She didn't voice an objection about it either, her mind was made up on that one but she wasn't about to re-live the past. She finally speaks again quietly.
Eva How do you deal with it? ... And can you help me?
She asked and it was a big ask and from him of all people.

I scratch the back of my head, as dealing with my personal flaws isn't something I actively think about.
Howell: How do I deal with it? I don't know, I mean there are some good addictions...like being addicted to the adrenaline I get out in the ring. Focusing on that kind of shit kinda helps me forget about wanting the bad stuff.
Not that all my addictions are good, but the worst ones have started to dissipate. Besides alcohol, fucking love that shit.
Howell: I'm not sure I'm the best person to help you, but...it's the least I can do.
It's like asking a guy with no legs to go run a marathon, but hey, I've had tougher asks.

Eva You're probably not the best person to help me but...
She stops talking, looking at the blank screen again. It goes on for a few moments before she kicks herself out of it and speaks again.
Eva I've not got anyone else to ask.
Eva turns back to him.

Howell: The only one...well, better than nothing I guess...barely.
I flash a smile, as I show I can be self deprecating at times, though this one is probably true.
Howell: It'd help if you stopped acting so depressive and weren't staring at that blank screen so often. You should go kick someone's ass...that's always helped me!
Hold on, back up...I forgot my audience for a moment.
Howell: Again, this is why I'm bad at this kind of thing...but maybe think about something positive? Shit, I don't know but there has to be something, right?
