Ch.1 Remembering A Tragedy
Tressa Berman was sitting in the limo, playing with her hair, which she always did when she was nervous. She was on her way to Raw. A place she had been dreaming to be since she was a little girl. All her friends would always want to go to Disney Land. But not Tressa she wanted to go to a wrestling show, which was her Disney Land.
Her family and friends always supported her. They knew she had the drive and the passion to succeed. Her dad and Sister were both wrestling fans. Every Monday and Friday nights, the 3 of them would get some popcorn and sit together and watch wrestling.
Even though her mom wasn't really a wrestling fan, she always wanted Tressa to follow her dreams. At first she couldn't stand the thought of her girl getting beat up for a living, but when she saw her in that ring, she saw how much it meant to Tressa. She just had a hard time accepting it, considering she would be traveling a lot and wouldn't be able to see her very much. Kelly was going to school to be a nurse. She was proud of both her girls. But she thought, turning on the TV and seeing her daughter? That would be amazing.
When Tressa was training, she went a couple times to watch her. She always looked so beautiful, the way she did her makeup and the outifts she wore. Seeing the big smile on her face whenever she won a match, she could tell how much she loved it. The last time her mom watched, she looked at her with the referee holding her hand high, she smiled and she could tell her mom was proud of her…but that was the last time she saw her…
Tressa's class was finally going to have a big show. She was so excited and nervous at the same time. What made her feel better was knowing her family was going to be there to see her and support her. But only her dad and sister walked through the door in her locker room…
"Hey you guys, I'm so glad you made it" She yelled with excitement, running over and hugging them both, noticing that something was wrong. They never cracked a smile or anything, you could always tell with Kelly when there was something wrong. She always looked down at the ground, not making eye contact. Her dad was looking at her like he had bad news to tell her. "Where's mom?"
"Tressa, you better sit down" he said, pointing to the bench. She sat down and could feel tears coming, her dad sat down beside her, trying to think of what to say, and how to say it.
"Mom had to go to work when we were leaving" He paused, looking at Kelly, who was standing by the door, still looking at the ground not wanting Tressa to see her cry. "So, she told us to go ahead, and she would come when she was done work."
"Great! You had me worried, dad. And you Kelly" Walking over, putting her arm around her blonde haired sister. "You really had me going, standing over here, looking like you're all depressed. I love how you guys put on a show so I won't be so nervous." She smiled, looking at their still tear filled faces.
"Does it look like we're joking, Tressa?" Kelly argued. "She's not coming!" She added, eyes filling up with tears.
"What do you mean?" She yelled, "Wha…What happened?
"She's gone, honey" her dad cried, walking over to her, pulling her into a hug. "She was in a car accident. Some idiot drunk driver ran a red light. The doctor said she never had a chance."
There was a knock at the door, a head poked in "You're on in 10 minutes" He said, leaving.
Tressa grabbed a glass and threw it at the door. The sound of glass shattering made Kelly jump, and cry even more. She knew she didn't want to tell her now… before her match.
"How the hell am I going to go out there now?" she cried, falling to her knees in tears. "How could this happen???"
Kelly walked over to her dad "Dad, let me talk to her, please" Kelly whispered.
He nodded, walking over to Tressa, he kissed her forehead "I love you, honey" he said, before leaving the room.
Kelly walked over and put an arm around her sister "Tress, you have to go out there. You have to do it for mom"
"But she's not here, Kel. I need her here." She cried.
"I know, but she would want you to go out there and show everyone what you're made of. This is your dream, hun! We were so blessed to have a mom that believed in us." She lifted Tressa's chin so she was looking at her. "She was so proud of you, I even got a little jealous because you were all she would talk about." She smiled.
"I know" she whispered. "But now I can't help thinking it's my fault that she's gone!"
"Why would you even think that?" She asked, in shock.
"Doesn't that show you how much you meant to her?" She grabbed her, looking seriously at her. "She was on her way to see her daughter in her first big show. You have other fans out there waiting for you, your teacher, who thinks your one of his best students. Dad was in such a rush to get here, he is sitting out there alone, depressed about losing the love of his life. You have to go out there for dad too."
"Okay, I'll go out there, and do my best" She smiled, hugging her sister.
Kelly opened the door, turned around to her sister "By the way, I forgot to mention your number 1 fan"
"Whos that?"
"Me! Go kick some ass, Sis." She added, before leaving the room.
Tressa walked out to the curtain. Standing there thinking about her mom, she heard her music play. She took a deep breath and muttered "This is for you mom" before walking through the curtain.
