"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed for seven days." -- Hebrews 11:30

..:: Scene One || Hotel Room || 2:56 AM ::..

I finally made it back to me hotel room with Katy. I couldnta believe how long the taxi ride was. I was ready to go and I was hoping she was ready to go as well. I opened the door and turned on the light. She was leaning on me, almost to the point to where I was carrying her. She was really wasted. I walked her gently over to the bed and sat her down on it. She immediately fell on it and laid down. I reached into my pockets emptying them of my wallet, cigarettes, lighter and what not. I placed them on the TV stand and turned back to her. She was up at the top of the bed now, her head laid softly on the pillow.

"Oh God I think I'm going to be sick."

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Nah lass. Ya can't be sick. We're suppose to have fun tonight remember?"

I took off my shirt and crawled into bed with her.

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Now come here. Me got sumething I wanna show ya. Uhh, Katy?"

I tried to move her around but she was out like a light. She had passed out. Wonderful, just my luck.

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Oh come on Katy. Don't leave me hangin' like this. wake up."

It was no use, she was out cold. I shook my head and sighed. It always happens to me.

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Ya American women are such teases ya know that? Ya don't have what it takes to hold ya own booze."

I got off the bed and preceded to take off Katy's shoes. After they were off I flung them to the side of the bed. I covered her up and went back over to the TV stand to get my cigarettes and lighter. With them in my hand I went out onto the balcony of my hotel room.

The wind was blowing a little which created a nice breeze. I sighed before leaning my arms on the banister and looking out over the city of Phoniex. There was a lot on me mind. I hadn't talked to anyone about it, but the things danglin' on me mind were takin' a tow. I had to pull meself together if I expected to have any luck in this upcoming match. I drew in a deep breath and released it feeling the air escape my heavy lungs.

Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
Then fade away
But if I never do nothing
I'll get you back some day

"Joshua was sent by God to conquer Canaan. He had faith in God and his own abilities. I'm like Joshua ya see. I have faith in my own abilities and I know I am gonna win this match. Jericho ya can't say the same thing. Ya don't really have faith in yaself or else ya would be a bigger name in the wrestlin' business. Ya always question yaself and that questionin' yaself is what is gonna get ya beat come Monday. I'm like Joshua because I'm standin' at the walls Of Jericho and I know they are gonna come tumblin' down. God gave Joshua the battle plan and in faith he acted. He marched around the city walls seven times then gave the battle cry. And the walls came crashin' down. Just like ya walls are gonna come crashin' down on Monday Chris. After forty years of wandering in the wilderness Joshua lead him and his people to victory. A victory many thought wouldn't happen but it did. Still today many question it but I don't. I'm always believe a tale about sumeone who acted with faith in their abilities and confidence and defeated the foes. Many people have counted me out in this match because I don't have the experience that ya do Chris, but I say nah, it doesn't matter. Because what I don't have in experience I make up fer in heart and soul. Ya heart and soul have been crushed and ya light has been put out. That's why ya haven't been anything to anyone for a very long time. Ya still aren't gonna be anything to anyone after I'm through with ya. Like the walls Chris, ya are gonna come crashin' down to ya doom."

Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
And all around your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the danger
It holds in the pain

I took a cigarette from the smashed package and popped it in me mouth. I lit the tip and took a few long draws.

"Jericho was believed to be the biggest city in it's day. That represents ya ego Chris. See no one has more ego than Chris Jericho. Ya are always thinkin' ya are gonna come out on top because in the past ya have. I commend ya fella. In the past ya have been pretty impressive but ya see that is the past and I'm the future. Come Monday the future is gonna over take the past and crush it down to nothin'. Jericho was also known as a cultural center. A lot of people passed through Jericho. A lot of people have passed through you Jericho but that doesn't make any difference. See I may not be as experienced as ya but I've still got the talent. I've got more talent in my little finger than ya have got in all ya pathetic worthless body. Ya may try to get me in the Walls of Jericho but that won't help ya any because I am better equipped at takin' more pain than ya could ever realize. I'm the Joshua to your Walls Jericho and I will be successful in beating you for the one, two, three."

Sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"When ya returned ya started out sayin' months ago ya were the face of Monday Night Raw. Well so much has changed since the months ya have been gone Jericho. Ya see now I am the face of Monday Night Raw and ya are just a lost memory. Like the stones of the Walls Of Jericho lyin' on the ground forgotten ya have been forgotten. Me honestly don't know why ya are so fixated on DX when ya have bigger fish to fry and that bigger fish is me. Ya got under the skin of DX and that's fine. I don't understand why ya are so worried and worked up over the past. Well, I guess I kinda understand. The past is the only crutch ya have to lean on. If it weren't for ya past successes then ya wouldn't be anything to this sport at all. DX got the best of ya a few months ago and I am gonna get the best of ya this comin' Monday. But unlike with DX ya won't be havin' any room to redeem yaself. Just like Evan Bourne I am gonna take great pride in beatin' ya arse in less than five minutes and send ya packing back to the dressin' room like a injured animal."

And some things are over
Some things go on
And part of me you carry
Part of me is gone
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

"When I do beat ya ya are gonna have a hard time returning to that half arsed excuse for a rock band ya have too. Ya I know all about that. See I've listened to ya music and it's lackin' a lot Chris. I notice the recent sales fer ya last Fozzy album were a bit down. Wonder why that is? Oh I know, it's because ya suck. Ya sucked at being a hockey player, ya suck at being a rock star and ya suck at being a wrestler. I know, I know, ya are gonna come up with how ya have won so many titles back in the day but Chris we've already been over this. Ya are a has been. No one and I mean no one wants to see ya anymore. I'm gonna be doing all the parasites, as ya like to call them, a favor and crush ya big mouth once and fer all."

"I realize ya don't quite like the McMahons', but ya are indebted to them because they made ya what ya are today. Nobody lad made me who I am today except meself. While ya were back here in the United States being handed title after title because ya played backstage politics and were the "go to" guy, I was in Ireland kicking everyone's arse that dared to get in my way. Ya not gonna be any different Chris. When all is said and done I'm gonna be the on with their hand raises in victory and ya are just gonna be the grim on the bottom of my shoe."

Baby you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
They fall down

I finished my cigarette and flicked it off the balcony onto the sidewalk below. I hesitated before gonna back into me hotel room, peerin' over the city. The subject of Tab was beginnin' to flood my mind again and I knew I couldnta let it. She was gone and I had to find it in meself to move on. Katy was gonna be of no good use to me tonight so I had to find someone to talk to. Someone to share these raging feelings with. I shook my head, falling back on my own personal strength, and walked back into my hotel room.

I found Katy sitting up on the bed with her hand across her mouth.

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Ah ya are awake lass. I thought ya passed out on me."

katy
"I don't feel so well. Maybe I should go home."

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Why don't ya stay lass? Ya've had a lot to drink and ya need to sleep it off."

katy
"You're not going to bother me are you?"

I laughed.

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Bother ya? How would I bother ya? I'm not gonna bother ya. I'll just let ya sleep."

katy
"Okay. Good night Sheamus."

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Good night Katy."

She pulled her small body back into the bed and covered herself up. I stood there watching her for a brief second with my arms crossed. It would be so easy to wake her up and mess with her but I hadn't the heart to do so. I was lonely, but I wasn't that lonely. I shook my head and walked over to the opposite bed. I took a seat on the edge and pulled out my flip cell phone. I flipped it open and put in Candice Michelle's number. I waited for what seemed like an eternity before she picked up.

'the celtic warrior' sheamus
"Candice? Hey lass, it's Sheamus....No, nothing's wrong really....Well I just thought I could talk to ya for a little bit....How about ya get dressed and come over here and talk to me for a little bit....What? No I'm not tryin' to get ya in bed. I just wanted someone to talk to is all...Come on lass, I'm worried about my match and ya me manager ya should be worried too...Alright...it's room 509...great, I'll see ya in a bit then....bye."

I flipped the phone shut and laid down on the bed and stared at the ceilin'.
