Chapter 1-
Everything felt so surreal to me as I looked around the locker room. Was this really happening? I haven't wrestled in 5 years. I ran my fingers along the smooth lockers. I'm sure I had the biggest grin you could possibly have on my face. I didn't think I would do this again. I told myself I wouldn't do this again. Especially not after everything that happened before I left. I jumped slightly whenever Stephanie entered the room.
"Hey Kelly! So I just got done talking to costume, and they have everything ready to go for Mania. You are welcome to hang backstage and say hello to everyone. You can stop by Headquarters next Monday to get your official script", Stephanie said to me.
"Oh wow okay. Yes that will be perfect. Sorry I was just soaking all this in. I haven't experienced this in so long" I replied back to Stephanie.
"Well honestly I am super thrilled to have you back. You are a fan favorite, and I know everyone is going to be ecstatic to see you back in that ring. Well make yourself at home, if you need anything please don't hesitate to shoot me a text" Stephanie informed me before leaving the room.
I made my way outside the locker room. I may have been hiding out. My stomach has what feels like a million butterflies in it. This fucking place just brings back so many memories. Good and bad. I broke my promise to myself. I said don't come back. This place is poison, and yet here I am. About to make my return to Wrestlemania. The biggest show of the year.
Immediately I am picked up by strong arms and twirled around. When I'm set back down I turn around and see one of my only true friends I had made. Big Show. I literally throw my arms around his enormous body, and I can feel myself tearing up. It's so nice to see a friendly face.
"Holy shit! Am I glad to see you. I feel like I am about to vomit!" I tell Show.
"No I'm glad to see you! Is this the big surprise you wanted to tell me? That you are fucking coming back. What the fuck. I can't believe it." Show hugs me yet again.
"You know I said I would never do this again. This place is so volatile, but I felt like I needed one last run for my fans. I wouldn't be where I am today without them. So here I am sucking it up for them." I reply.
"If anyone tries to fucking mess with you this time I'll put a fucking stop to it and you know that. A lot of the roster has changed as well. Don't worry pretty girl. The Big Show has your back." I immediately start laughing and crying at the same time when he tells me this. It feels so good to know I have an ally on my side. You need it when it comes to the WWE. The fucking cliques and the gossip will eat you alive if you don't.
I hug Show and make my way to the viewing room. A lot of the roster hangs out there when the live shows are going on. I feel sick to my stomach and run to the bathroom. I thought I could do this. I look at myself in the mirror. I look pale. I look scared. I am. Suddenly memories start flooding my head. I run to a stall and vomit. I can't do this.
