Chapter 1 Meeting Vince and Last Goodbye's
Present Day
Serena's POV
I was sitting in the bathtub, my arms wrapped around me. I had been crying for the past hour and finally the tears had stopped, the cold wind from the window next to me was stabbing through my skin, but I didn't care. I began to scrub my body hard trying to erase the memories of what happened a year ago. When I became part of the biggest scandal in the history of the WWE.
It all started when I met the Chairman of the WWE Mr. McMahon, I had just finished my interview with the workers a week ago. Basically it was just a meet a greet, but any way you wanna say it I was excited to meet him.
I was in WWE Headquarters waiting in the lobby until the secretary called my name. I would get to meet Vince McMahon, owner of the wwe. I had finished my interview with the Board of the Directors a week ago and they called me back yesterday and accepted me as a commentator for Smackdown! which I was so ecstatic about because it was my dream to work for a big company like the WWE.
"Serena Cailan". I heard the secretary say over the intercom, I rose to my feet and walked over to her desk. "Mr. McMahon will see you now". She said with a smile. I smiled back and left down the hall.
As I walked I saw various pictures of past wrestlers, like The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Stone Cold, Earthquake, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man etc. and some current wrestlers like Bautista, Randy Orton, John Cena, Triple H, Undertaker. Finally I reached a lonely door with a golden name plate that read Mr. McMahon. I knocked on the door rather quietly, but he seemed to hear me.
"Come in". He said. I opened the door and walked in seeing him in a big black leather chair with his hands folded on top of his huge desk looking directly at me, I was intimidated. "Have a seat Ms. Cailan". I walked over and sat down across from him putting my hands in my lap, it was silent for a minute or two before he talked.
"So, I hear you are the newest commentator for Smackdown!". He said. "Are you excited?'.
"Very, Mr. McMahon". I said with a smile. "I've always wanted to work for a company like this, and I've always loved talking so I figured this would be the perfect job for me". He laughed.
"Well you have a nice, pleasant voice so I'm sure I'll enjoy hearing you every Friday night". He said, I blushed a little.
"I promise you won't be sorry".
"I never am. Now I'm guessing that the Board of Directors already went over everything with you, is that correct?".
"Yes, they said I'll be making my debut this Friday in Minneapolis, but they're leaving for Illinois first thing tomorrow".
"That's right, so do you think you can be ready by then?".
"Of course". I said.
"Well okay, I guess we're done". He said. "I hope to see more of you Ms. Cailan".
"You too Mr. McMahon". I said rising to my feet. We shook hands and I exited out of his office, once outside I let out a deep breath. "Whoa that was scary".
The Next Morning
I had just finished packing all of my things that I would need, lord knows that I would be gone for a long time. I walked over to my mirror that was hanging on the back of my bedroom door, I brushed my shirt looking at myself in the mirror.
My outfit was color coordinate if you can call it that. A bandana that covered my straight brown hair, a t-shirt and baggy pants with sneakers. The color of it all was red, orange and yellow camouflage.
I looked at the watch on my wrist, 7:35am, my friend Lynette would be here any minute to take me down to the airport. I was a little nervous about my debut on Friday which was two days away, I was scared I was gonna mess up on the words, say the wrong thing or forget all together. I wanted to impress Mr. McMahon and be perfect, but I knew there was no such thing as being perfect. I was soon snapped out of my thoughts when I heard honking coming from outside my bedroom window, I quickly got my bags and ran down the stairs, reaching the front door I stopped to look around my house. Everything was neat and clean because I didn't want to walk into a dirty house when I came back.
"Goodbye house". I said before walking out the door. Outside it was sprinkling a little and everything was wet from the storm last night, but I didn't care, it's not like I would be here for long. I saw my friend Lynette waving at me with a smile from my driveway. I walked over, threw my things in the back and got inside.
"Nice to see you Seren". Lynette greeted as she started the car and backed out of the driveway.
"Same here Lyn". I greeted back, she turned the car so it was facing the street and began our drive to the airport.
"I can't believe you actually got the job". Lynette said happily making sure to keep her eyes on the road.
'Me nether". I agreed. "I mean this is so surreal, I'm gonna be working alongside Tazz and Michael Cole those are my favorite commentators".
"And you get to meet those hot guys that wrestle in speedos and tight shorts".
"Lyn, I'm focusing on work, not seeing if I can fuck the whole Smackdown roster...not including the women".
"Oh come Serena, you gotta have some fun, you focus on work to much".
"I do not, I just don't wanna be named the biggest slut in the WWE".
"Fine". She said as she drove into the airport parking lot. "But don't blame me when all the guys are drooling over you".
"Lynette, stop it. I'm not Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, Candice Michelle or Christy Hemme. I'm Serena Cailan, newest Smackdown! commentator and I'm happy with that. Now when I get comfortable and settled in, maybe I'll started to have some fun and all, but for now I'm focusing on my job".
"...fine". She said turning to me. That's when I saw the tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm gonna miss you so much". I smiled as we reached over to hug each other.
"I'll miss you too Lynette". I said. "I promise I will call you when I can".
"Same here, and I'll watch you on Friday, swear". As she pulled away she raised her pinky finger up, I smiled as I raised mine up and locked it with hers. "Best friends forever".
"Forever". A tear escaped my eye as we shared one last hug. I grabbed my bags from the back and stepped out of the car, closing the door I waved to my friend, she did the same and drove away. As the car left I immediately saw a huge bus parked not to far away with the WWE logo on it, I saw a couple of people boarding the bus, I smiled as I walked over.
"Hello". I skinny white man in a black suit greeted. I noticed on his shirt it read staff on it.
"Hi, um, I'm Serena Cailan". I said. He checked the clipboard he was holding for a second and then turned back to me with a smile.
"Newest Smackdown! commentator, congratulations". He said putting his hand out, I shook it.
"Thank you". I said with a smile.
"I'm David, I basically just make sure everyone's here and accounted for, you'll see me often". He explained, I nodded. "Um, just hand you bags and luggage to Billy over there". David pointed to a heavyset man behind me who was already putting bags into the back of the bus, he looked up at us and smiled.
"Okay, thank you". I said, I was about to walk towards him when david stopped me.
"Just a suggestion, it's gonna be a very long drive to Illinois, so I would recommend bringing a cd player or a book or something to entertain yourself".
"Oh, alright". I pulled out my Ipod and my Tupac Shakur book out of one of my bags and headed over to Billy.
"Hey...I suppose David told you about me?". He said as he saw me walked up to him.
"No, he just told me your name". I said as I handed him my things, he began to load them into the bus.
"Well, I'm the organizer for all the superstars. I tell them what appearances they have to do, I give them their wake-up calls. So if you need any help with your schedule or you need help finding someplace, just ask me". Billy said putting on a smile, I smiled back. We shook hands and I left to get on the bus, I ended up taking a seat about 5 rows away from the back, thankfully it was a two seater so I could stretch my legs out.
I put on my headphones, turned on my Ipod and switched to a random song before opening my book to read.
I knew it had been a while since I got on the bus because I had just finished six pages of my book and I heard people getting on the bus. I was to into the book to look at any of the people or notice how when some of the superstars pasted my seat, they pointed at me and whispered to their friends. Finally I heard the door close from the front and the bus started up and drove away, after about five minutes since the bus left, I felt somebody sit down next to me and tap me on the shoulder. I pulled off my headphones guessing that it was a worker or something, but when I turned to face the mystery person I didn't see a worker.
Sitting next to me with his trademark smirk was the legend killer Randy Orton.
