Meeting The Godfather She Never Knewand Favorite Wrestlers
Sapphire Mills use to think that her dad could never love her. Why else would she be single at twenty five? So when she met the godfather that she never knew after her father's death and meeting four of her favorite wrestlers that seem to know her father very well her life was turned upside down very quickly.
There was a knock on her door for the millionth time today and she slowly walked towards it hoping that it wasn't some more family shoving food into her hands and wishing her well. That isn't something she needed right now. "Yes can I help you?" She asked as she opened the door.
"Are you Sapphire Mills?" A very familiar voice asked her and she looked up to see Vince McMahon, Mark Callaway, Glen Jacobs, Dave Batista and Paul Levesque standing there looking at her with sad eyes.
"Yes that is me How can I help you Mr. McMahon?" She asked him as she opened the door and let them in.
"Your father was a very good friend to me and many of my superstars. We just wanted to come by and show you our respects. He was one of the best trainers I ever had." He said as they walked into the house.
Sapphire shut the door behind them and sighed. "I never knew him very well Mr. McMahon. But everyone that has says the same thing."
"When you were born he asked me to be your godfather. It was something that wasn't taken lightly. So I am here to help you with anything that you need." He said to her.
"What I need right now is to be able to grieve. I haven't had a moment to myself in days and honestly I have a lot to take in right now. I don't think that this is the time to ask me anything." She said as she walked past him.
"Your father was very proud of you my dear." He said to her.
"I wouldn't know he was never around to say it." She said as they all followed her into the kitchen.
"He told us how proud he was all the time." Glen said to her.
She turned and looked at him. "The one thing that I have never been able to get over was not having my father there when I needed him the most. He wasn't there when mom died. He wasn't there when I graduated from high school or college. He always sent me money thinking it would make it all better. You all had him when I only got to hear his voice twice a week. So I'm sorry if that doesn't mean anything. I have been on my own since I was 16."
"He was trying to make your life better." Vince said to her.
"No what would have made my life better is not having to look at a picture to remember what my father looks like. What would have made it better was to have him there when I tried to kill myself three times. When I needed someone to hold me and take away the pain. What would have made it better was if he was there when I got raped. But he wasn't, he never was. And even after that I love him so very much that it is killing me to know that I will never know him like you guys did, that I will never see him walk through that front door on his rare days off. To know that even now I will never have a father makes me want to take his place." She said to him.
Sapphire turned away from them so she didn't break down in front of them like she knows she was about to. "He never told me you were raped."
"That's because he never knew. No I didn't tell him because it didn't matter just like I didn't." She said in a whisper.
"You were his world." Dave said as he walked towards her.
"Don't touch me. Please just don't touch me." She said as she closed her eyes.
Dave put his hand down and looked at them. "What do you do for a living Sapphire?"
"I write." She said without thinking about it.
"How would you like to travel with us for a little while?" Vince asked her.
"No." She said as she lowered her head.
"I would really like it if you would. We can help you get to know your father the way we know him. Believe me Sapphire he loved you with all of his heart." He said as he walked towards her.
"Then why wasn't he here? Why wasn't he here when I needed him?" She asked him as tears started to slid down her cheeks.
"Because he thought you didn't need him." He said to her.
Sapphire's knees gave out and she felt arms wrap around her waist to help her stand and walk to a chair. When she sat down she leaned her head against the table and sighed. "Just because he didn't need me doesn't mean that I didn't need him."
Sapphire never got to hear what he had wanted to say because she passed out and almost fell out of the chair before Dave caught her. "Mark will you help me find her room?"
"Sure I got no problem with that." Mark said before they walked out of the room with Dave carrying her in his arms.
Vince looked at the other too and sighed. "Glen, give a call to Michael for me and tell him to get over here with the Hardy's we have a lot to do before she wakes up."
Glen nodded as he grabbed his cell and walked out of the room. Paul looked at him and he saw the sadness in his eyes that he knew was in his too. "Walter always told me that she was strong. That she didn't need him all the time. From what I see she still needs him."
"Then it's up to us to help her through this no matter what." Paul said to him.
"I know but I don't' think that she is going to like us very much." Vince said to him.
"No one likes at first but they all grow to love us. This is no different it will just take a little longer to get her to love us." Paul said to him as someone knocked on the front door.
"I'll get it." Vince said before he walked out of the room and down the hall.
When he opened the door a little old lady was standing there with a hand on her hip. "Where is my granddaughter?"
"She is asleep. She passed out in the kitchen." He told her.
"Finally decided to show your face here Vince?" The woman asked him.
"Mom?" He asked shocked.
"Don't act so surprised you were the one that told me I was too hard headed to die and it looks like I am proving you right." She said as she walked past him.
"How is she taking it?" She asked as she took off her jacket and put it next to the door on a stand.
"She is mad at him because it seems that he was never there for him and now he will never be able to be there for her." Vince said to her.
"Well, he missed a lot in her life." She said to him.
"Why didn't he bring her on the road with him?" He asked her.
"He didn't believe that was the right thing to do. She would have learned things that she shouldn't have and he knew that it was no place for his daughter to be raised." She said to him.
"So I heard that she is a writer." He said to her as they made their way into the living room.
"Yeah she has a series out called the Chosen Series. She is doing really well." She said as she sat down.
"The Chosen Series really? No wonder Walter gave us all a copy of her first book. She has some major fans in the WWE." He said as he sat down across from her.
"She is a big fan of yours too. She use to watch all of them just to be able to say that he father worked on them and why. Then she realized it was the reason she didn't have him with her. But she still has her favorites." The woman said to him as the others walked into the room.
"She is asleep and we put all the food away that was in the kitchen. Michael and the Hardys should be here soon." Glen said to him.
"Everyone I would like you to meet Walter's mom Sarah. She is like a second mother to me." Vince said as he stood up.
They all looked at her and she smiled. "No wonder Sap likes to watch you guys. I do believe I have just become a huge fan."
They all laughed and smiled at her. "That is very kind of you ma ma."
"So you are the ones that my son worked on." She said to them as they all found some place to sit.
"Yes we are." Mark said to her.
"I knew that you would be here Vince. I have already been here a few times. I came by this time because I needed to talk to you." She said to him as she pulled a folder out of her bag.
"What do you need to talk about mom?" He asked her as she flipped through the folder.
"Walter made out a will but there is something that Sapphire has to do before she is able to get what he has left her. Honestly I think that it's just mean but I can understand why he did it. As he got older he realized that she hated him and everything that he done because it took him away from her. She doesn't know this but I do because I was the one that he always talked to about her. After her mom died Sapphire just stopped caring about anything but school. She actually got all her credits that year and finished school two years early. Something that we were proud of. That was until she told us that she was going to college right out of high school. She was younger than all the others that were going. But it didn't stop her. Look at me telling you things that Walter must have already told you. Anyways he has it in his will where she will take his job for a year. She knows everything that he does and she also knows a little more than her father did." She said as she gave him the paper that his will was on.
"Does she know about this?" He asked her.
"No but I am going to tell her tomorrow." She said to him.
"No need I already heard and honestly you can keep everything. I don't want it. I'm going home tomorrow." She said from the doorway.
"Sapphire why are you doing this?" Sarah asked her granddaughter.
"What am I doing Grams? All I am doing is getting on with my life because that is what I have always done. That is what dad taught me. Let nothing hold you back and never let a problem hold you down. So I'm not going to. I'm use to not having him around so why should now be any different? Answer me that one." Sapphire said to her.
"He is dead Sapphire. This is why. He isn't going to walk through that door and pick you up in a hug. He isn't going to tell you that he loves you. He is gone and he isn't ever coming back." Sarah said to her.
"You think I don't know that? I know that all the way to my soul. I know that he will never see me again and I know that I will never be able to tell him that I don't hate him. That I just wanted one more day with him. I had so much to tell him and I will never be able to because god saw fit to take him away from me for good this time. Just like he did mom!! I will never be able to tell my children let's go to grandpas' because he isn't here." Sapphire shouted at her.
Sapphire turned and ran back up the stairs and ran into her room. Sarah sighed and sat back down as she pushed the tears down. "We will talk her into it. We will make her see just how much her father loved her."
"I fear that she will never be able to understand why he chose to stay on the road all the time. Honestly I don't know why he did either." Sarah said to him.
"We will make her understand." Mark said as someone knocked on the front door.
Sapphire sat at her desk and held a picture of her father and mother in her lap. She looked down at them and sighed. "Life just isn't fair."
Flashback
"Sapphire come on baby girl let's hit the road." Her father yelled up to her.
She knew what that meant. It was time to take him to the airport so he could go and meet the WWE brands wherever they are. She sighed and grabbed the keys to her mustang that he got her last month for her birthday. When she walked down stairs he was waiting there with his bags once again and she had to fight with the tears that wanted to fall. "Ready?"
"Yeah sweetie if we leave now we can have lunch together before I have to catch the plane." He said to her.
"Why can't I go this time?" She asked him.
"The road is no place for you and we both know that. You need to worry about your school work." He said to her.
"But it's the place for you. I see how that works." She said before she walked past him and headed to her silver and black mustang.
"Do we have to do this every time?" He asked her.
Sapphire stopped and turned to look at him. "I'm sorry I'll never say anything about it again. It isn't like you like being here with me anyways. No need to comment on that. Nothing you can say will change the way I feel. I guess I am just like you but instead of doing the leaving I'm the one that is left."
"I'll take my own car. No need for you to take me today. I don't want to ruin your plans for today." He said to her.
"I never make plans that way I'm never let down. Do what you want because I know what I want never mattered to you." She said before she got into the mustang and slammed the door.
She could still see the pain in his eyes as she backed out of the driveway. She could still feel the hurt that was in her hurt knowing that he didn't want to be there with her. He never wanted her there with him but now he wanted her there to do his job for a year. Why should she do it? What could it possible do to make her feel better about him always being gone?
"Sapphire can we talk?" Glen asked from the other side of her door.
She put down the picture and looked at the door. "It's open come on in."
The door opened and he walked into the room with two beers. "You are my hero Mr. Jacobs."
He smiled at her as he handed her a beer. Then he sat down in the chair close to her desk. "I know that nothing that we say will make you take the offer but I just wanted to know that you were loved very much by him. Honestly I can't tell you why he chose to stay on the road but I know that every time we talked he told me what was new in your life. You were a little sister to us. One that was away at school or something. But he loved you with everything in him."
She downed half her beer as she thought about what he said to her. "I use to ask him all the time why I couldn't go with him. All he ever told me that it wasn't a place for me. That I needed to worry about my school work. I thought that he had another family that he didn't want me to meet because they didn't know about me. But I grew up and knew that wasn't it. No he was home a lot more when Mom was alive. So I knew that it was because of me. I lived and she didn't. He hated me for that was what I thought. But in the end the reason never mattered to me. All that mattered was he wasn't there for my important moments. He never was."
Glen didn't know what to say to that. How could he tell her all the things that her father said about her when he wasn't there for the moments that he should have been? "He has only been home on four of my birthdays since I was ten and all of them were before mom died. Sad isn't it? All my presents from him were there but the one that mattered the most to me wasn't. But one phone call was meant to make it all better but all it did was rub in the fact that he wasn't there."
"How about we talk about something else?" Glen asked her.
"Like what?" She asked him.
"What books have you written?" He asked her.
"I write the Chosen series books. I believe my dad gave all of you a copy of my first book." She said to him.
"Yes he did I love those books very much and so do many other wrestlers. I'll be damn I'm talking to my favorite author." He said with a smile.
"Now you know how I feel I have almost all of my favorite wrestlers in the same house. All that are missing are Shawn Michaels, The Hardy Boys Rey Mysterio John Cena and a few others." She said to him.
"Well Shawn and the Hardy boys are here." He said to her.
"Really that rocks." She said to him.
"Wait, why are they here?" She asked him.
"Vince wanted them here to help with anything. Plus they have some things that use to belong to your father. They were sure that you would want them." He said to her.
She looked away from him as tears started to fall from her eyes. "I don't think that I will ever be able to look through his things. Not after everything that we have gone through."
"You never know it might help you to move on." He said softly.
"No one gets it, do they? I need this anger right now. I need it because without it he is truly gone and nothing will bring him back. Anger is all I know for him right now and I need that to keep him with me." She said as she wiped the tears away.
"You would be surprised how many there are of us that does understand that." He said to her.
