Shape of a Mind
August 10, 2011
I still can't believe it happened. I sit here, in this lonely hotel room and ask myself, in front of a broken mirror, what did I do wrong? Where did I do wrong? In which time of my life I had become a ruin that my presence isn't needed anymore? Did I get old? Have I lost my skills, my originality or my beauty? I look in the mirror and I see the same woman I've built for 32 years: a strong, intelligent, beautiful and independent woman. I sacrificed my life for my goal: to be the top Diva in WWE and I made it! But I thought I'll be forever the best in the industry. I thought the name of Melina Perez will always shine and everybody will come see me doing my best out in the ring. I will never forget the reason why they fired me. Melina Perez fired.
"It's this new generation of female wrestlers who need a chance, a push. You are from another era, same as Lita and Trish or McCool. They all left because they gave all they had in the ring and I think you already gave everything, too, so there's nothing you can surprise the public anymore!" Vince McMahon, the father of WWE, the most powerful man in the company had told me in that morning, in his office. I thought I would lose my mind. Two days later my boyfriend who I've been in a 10 years relationship, John Morrison, had left me, too. But it's all worthless now.
I find myself here, doing my bags for the last time, preparing to go home. I will never get in that ring anymore. I will never hear Lillian introduce me ever again. I will never fight under that company. Suddenly I feel tears running down my cheeks and once again I start uncontrolled to cry. All these years, WWE had been my home, I found a true family here but they just dismissed me. I feel so lonely, abandoned at the edge of glory.
I walk out of the room, pulling the bags after me and everything seems so lifeless. I don't even know where I'm going. Where's home since home for me had always been on the road?
Lost in my own painful thoughts I accidentally bumped into someone and all my bags and I had fallen on the ground.
"Excuse me!" I heard a rough voice. "I wasn't paying attention where I was walking. Are you ok?" I looked up and saw him. Those brown eyes and that worried but sexy face I will never forget. I never got the chance to be so close to a big star like he was and I felt really lucky to meet him right on the hotel's floor where my room was. Usually, the big stars were staying in the luxurious penthouse at the last floor of the hotel, not here where everybody was.
I remember I finally nodded when he helped me sit up. Then, he gently grabbed my bags.
"Here, I apologize one more time." He said again, with a small smile. "By the way I'm-"
"The Rock" I interrupted him with a smile. "Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I know who you are, who doesn't? I'm Melina Perez." I extended my hand.
He looked suspicious at me for a bit then smiled. "I knew you look familiar, too. You're one of the divas, aren't you? You're actually The Divas' Champion?" His smile became larger and shook my hand. He had a soft and warm hand which gave me little shivers when his hand touched mine.
"No, actually I'm not Divas' Champion anymore. I'm not even a Diva. I got fired a couple of days ago." I sighed remembering once again, what I thought that time was the biggest deception of my life. Little did I know that once meeting Dwayne, my life was going to change forever….
"What? I can't believe it! I remember your matches; you are absolutely amazing out there. You're what I love to call "wrestling heat", you have passion and beauty and everything a Diva needs." He complimented me and I actually felt my cheeks turning red a little bit.
"Thank you, but it seems like I got older for their tastes so I just try to get used with the unemployed state." I laughed a little bit. It felt pretty comfortable to talk to him. I had that warm feeling that I know him from a lifetime.
"Ah, McMahon and his shitty decision! He is such a moron I don't even know how did he managed to raise this company, really!" He frowned, a very expressive frown that actually made me smile. "They will see what a wrong move they made. Just wait and see."
I shrugged. "I guess… It doesn't really matter to me anymore." I looked at the clock. "It's pretty late and I gotta catch a plane. It was a pleasure to meet you, Mister Johnson; I've always been a huge fan." I smiled again, meaning the words.
"Call me Dwayne, or Wayne, maybe Lil'Wayne" He laughed, that energetic and contagious laugh. "I'm also a big fan of you, too so we're even." He gave me one of the most charming smiles I have ever seen in my life. That was the moment when in my heart a little bit of fascinating love had started to grow.
The following weeks I tried to figure out what was going to happen with my life. I was back in my house in Los Angeles, locked in my room, trying to figure out what has left from me that I can actually make it productive. I could become a fitness trainer, or a couch, but none of the suggestions were really what I needed to do. I received a lot of calls and e-mails from my friends that I left in WWE, like Ashley, Jillian, Layla, Natalya, even the guys like Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, Santino or Randy Orton had said so nice words. They all were so nice to me! Ashley even visited me a couple of times and she was the only one who I told the real feelings I was enduring. She was so amazing and caring and cheered me up every time.
"Look, girl. If they had fired you, is their own problem, ok? They lost a real talented woman. You are unique Melina and that place will never be the same without you, but you need to move on. Live your life at its fullest because it is so short! Do all the things you never tried before! C'mon, smile and be happy that a new chapter in your life is going to start!" She told me one day while we were out at the beach with Alexis, her daughter.
I tried to follow her advice but nothing seemed to work for me. I kept being depressed and nothing could motivate me. I was lonely most of the time, thinking of how miserable I had become, with no job and with no one to actually see my sorrow. As I was drowning more and more in my own nightmare, I started to lose interest in my own persona and I actually tried to hurt myself several times. I lost weight and I had mood swings and no one could help me. I was alone and slowly dying…
Until one day when I received a visit I never expected. I was in one of those days when depression was more acute than ever and I barely answered the door. When I did, though, I found him standing there, in the doorway. The Rock had come to visit me…
"You, girl, don't look good at all, what happened to you?" His smile faded away when he saw me way different than he met me couple of months ago. I had dark circles around my eyes; a messy hair and a pale, anorexic body, each one screaming out my pain who had consumed me all this time. "Melina, what did you do to yourself?" He asked with a soft voice and I couldn't take it. All the sorrow had flowed out and I burst crying, explaining through sobs everything I was going through. He hugged me, so tight that I felt he didn't want to let me go. "Shh, its ok sweetheart, it's ok to cry." He was stroking my hair as my tears wet his shirt. He grabbed my face into his palms. "You need help, Mel, and also you need a friend to take care of you. I'm not gonna leave you until you're the Melina I used to see in the ring, all shining and smiling." He kissed my forehead in that parental and caring way I needed so much.
From that moment, Dwayne never left my side. He staid all the time I needed to recover. He had been there for me, supporting me, understanding me, and in the end, loving me for who I was. I started falling for him right from the beginning and he had quickly made a place in my heart. In a quick period of time, I started loving him with my whole body and spirit. We were together, making each other happy. I finally felt complete; I finally felt I belong to someone. He restored my dreams, my hopes, my desire to live and, the most important, he gave me the reason to live…
