Stephanie's Thoughts

By: Nicole

She sat there thinking of her life. Everyone thought she had it so great but

she didn't think her life was that great. She was Stephanie McMahon the

GM of Smackdown. But to mom, dad, Shane, and Paul she was just

Steph. She just wanted to be normal for one day. She wanted to be able

to go into a Starbucks and not get attacked by fans. She wanted to go

shopping with her mom and not have to stop and sign autographs. Not

that she did not like the fans, she loved them, but sometimes it was too

much. When she decided to come into the business she knew this was how

it would be. Her family and friends were everything to her. She was

especially close to her dad. Her dad meant everything to her. "Hell, I'm

Daddy's Little Girl." Paul and I really love each other. I couldn't believe

when he asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes. I really can't wait

until we have children. I love children. When little kids come up to me for

autographs. I can never say no to them. Little kids come up to me all the

time and say how they want to be like me when they grow up. All I think is

why would you want to be like Stephanie McMahon? I'm just a regular girl

from Greenwich. I remember when I was little my mom was my idol. I

mean, she still is, nothing has changed. I wanted to be just like her. When I

was younger I remember dancing in the kitchen with my mom. Those were

the good times, lately it seems like me and my mom are drifting apart.

Ever since mom and dad got divorced things have changed. I don't know

why dad ever cheated on mom. My mother loved him so much and he

really hurt her. When he hurt mom he hurt me also. I was his little girl and

when he cheated on mom he really surprised me. I thought daddy was better than that. My dad still loves her but he needs to understand he cheated on her hurt mom really bad. That is now why they are divorced. He really never meant to hurt her. I know it sounds funny of course someone will be hurt if you cheated on them. Sometimes I just want to ask my dad "Why did you cheat on mom?" Hell, dad had it

all a loving wife, and two great kids. And you just throw that away for a

one-night stand? Shane was really hurt too. He really looked up to dad.

Dad was like his idol. When dad admitted the affair Shane was really hurt.

Because he is really close with mom, Momma's boy as they say. When

dad told Shane, and me Shane's face went really red in rage. He

screamed at dad "How could you do that to mom?" She remembered her

dad just looking at Shane like he didn't know the answer himself. Mom

looks so depressed lately; I don't even know what to say to her. I think that

is why we have drifted apart. Sometimes I see the sadness in her eyes

and I just want to hug her and tell her it's OK. Tonight I really wanted to

talk to my mom and have things be the way they were before. So I have

asked her over for dinner. I am making some pasta. I am not really a

great cook. When mom got there I could see the sadness in her eyes

again. I asked her how she was doing. As usual she said she was fine.

I knew she really wasn't fine though. We started talking and I really felt like

we were getting to be close again like before the divorce. Her mom then

said that she felt like they were drifting apart. Linda then looked at her

daughter's blue eyes. They looked like her own. "Stephie, I love you and

me and you will not change because your father and I divorced". Steph

then started to cry and Linda being her mother gave Steph a big hug. Her

mom then said "It's OK Steph, please don't cry I hate to see you cry."

Her mom then wiped her tears. Linda looked at her daughter and said

"I think I will go home now I don't want to cause you anymore pain." Mom,

your not causing me any pain. I loved the time we spent together. Linda

then looked at her daughter and said "I love you so much I will see you

tomorrow." Linda gave her daughter a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Steph looked at her mom, kissed her and said, "I love you too." With that

Linda left. Linda headed for her BMW. She felt so bad, why did it seem like

she was hurting the kids with Vince's mistake? Steph just started to think

again of all the good times they had together as a family. When both her

parents were there for her first day of school. It was not the same anymore

because they are not married anymore. All Steph could think was why did

dad do it? Why?

The End
