Linda's Depression

By: Nicole
I have been depressed lately. You would think I would be the happiest woman in

the world. I have a great husband and two great kids. But I don't know lately I

just haven't been happy. I think my husband is suspecting something. He is

always asking me "Linda are you OK?" Of course I always answer with "I'm

fine". Sometimes I just want to scream at him "No, I'm not fine I'm sad". My

kids are everything to me and I see the sadness in their faces when they see the

unhappiness in me. I really feel like I'm going deeper in the hole of unhappiness

as the days go on. In a way I really want Vince to find out I am unhappy. I really

want help but yet I can't help myself. Sometimes I think about ending this

unhappiness. Maybe I would be happier. Then I think about my family. How

would they feel if I ended my life? I can't do that to Vince. If I Linda McMahon

killed myself, Vince McMahon would not be able to go on. I know Vince he loves

me so much, I love him so much too. He and the kids are the only thing that keeps

me from committing suicide. How would they feel to have there mother no

longer? I know my children they would blame themselves. This is not there fault

it's mine I'm the one with the problem. This sadness inside me is too much, it's

starting to take over and I want to end it. I now go and head for the kitchen to get

something. I will write Vince and the kids a note.

Dear Vince, I'm sorry I did this to you. I never meant to hurt you. This is

how it had to be though. I can't bear to live any longer. Now I don't want you to

blame yourself. It's not your fault, you made me very happy. I don't know what

has made me so unhappy. Tell the children it's not their fault either. Tell them I

love them and not to worry about me. My last words are I love you and I want you

to be happy. Find someone else to make you happy. I know me being unhappy

must have made you the same way. So be happy and I love you.

Love always, Linda

I finished the note and headed to the bathroom. I grabbed all the pills I could find

and some water. Just before I went to put the pills in my mouth. I see me and

Vince's wedding picture. I look at the picture and start to re-live that day again.

I remember how happy I was, I wish that happiness was here now. I am now

holding on to the picture for dear life. Right next to that one is a picture of Shane

and Stephanie. This is actual my favorite picture of Shane and Steph. It was taken

about three years ago. I back away from the pills and water that I dropped when

picking up the pictures. I'm re-thinking this over, my mind starts to get that

sadness again. For now though that picture is fighting that sadness. I deiced to

leave the bathroom and go sit on the couch. She is now sitting on the couch trying

to fight that thought telling her to kill herself. The sadness is taking over again

and see heads back to the bathroom. The pills are still in the place she left them

and the cup is in the sink. I slowly approach the pills, I then put the pills in my

mouth and drink the water. It seems like a long time since I shallowed the pills.

Actual it was about 30 minutes ago. With that thought Linda's head starts

spinning. She is getting really dizzy her body is slowly shutting down. I then fall

to the floor my last words were "Vince I love you and the kids". Her eyes slowly

shut and her heart stops. The door then opens to the house and it's Vince. He

called out "Linda, I'm home". He looked around he couldn't see her anywhere.

He knew she was home because her car was in the garage. He then entered the

kitchen and saw a note. It was the note that Linda had wrote. He read the note in

horror. Vince really had to find Linda now. He went to all the bedrooms and to

every room. The last room he went to was the bathroom. Vince entered the room

in horror there laid his dead wife. Vince ran over to her body for a pulse there was

none. He ran to the phone and called the police. They came over right away.

Vince was like a zombie, he could not speak. Vince went to the phone to call

Shane and Steph. How was Vince going to tell the kids? He called Shane first, it

would be very tough to tell Shane because he was so close to his mom. Although

Stephanie loved Linda very much too. Stephanie and Linda were like best friends.

Shane's phone started to ring, Shane answered "hello". Vince then said "hello

Shane, I have something to tell you". Shane said "well what is it?" "Shane, it's

your mom". Shane on the other line started to get nervous. Shane asked "oh my

God is she OK?" Vince paused for a second he thought "here comes the tough

part". "Actual Shane, no I found your mom dead a little while ago". Shane was

shocked at what his dad said. "Oh my God who hurt her?" " I will kill that son of

a bitch". Vince's face turned to sadness, "actually Shane, she killed herself".

Shane now became even more shocked. He never thought his mother would do

such a thing. Shane always thought his mom was happy. Shane realized he was

still on the phone with his dad. "OK Dad, I will be right down". Now Vince

would have to make another call to Stephanie. The phone rang a few times and on

the third she picked up. Stephanie said "hello", again Vince went silent. "Hello

Stephanie, there is something I have to tell you". Steph became puzzled not know

what her Dad would say. "What is it Dad?" Vince became at a loss of words not

knowing how to say it. "Stephanie, it's your mom I found her dead on the

bathroom floor". Stephanie became shocked her mom was dead. Stephanie then

asked "well do they know how she died". Vince said "Steph, honey, she

committed suicide". Stephanie was now even more shocked she never thought her

mom would kill herself. All she knew was she had to comfort her brother and

father. "Dad, I will be right over", "OK Steph". Stephanie knew her Dad had to

hear this so she said "Dad one last thing I love you". Vince the answered "I love

you too". Vince waited for the children to arrive, it seemed like forever. Shane

was first to arrive. When Shane walked in, he saw his dad and he looked at mess.

His Dad didn't look himself, normally his Dad was so happy. Now he looked so

depressed. Shane was feeling the same way this was his Mom. Shane was even

starting to blame himself. He asked himself "why didn't I see how unhappy she

was?" He was now approaching his Dad, Shane gave his Dad the biggest hug.

His Dad hung on like a missing child that found his mom. Vince finally let go of

the hug. Shane looked into his Dad's eyes it didn't have that happiness in it no

longer. Shane had just seen his father two hours ago, The person that now stood

before him was not the person he was two hours ago. That man was happy, he

couldn't wait to go how and see his wife. Shane knew that his Dad could never be

that happy man again. Shane finally spoke to his Dad and said "Did you call

Steph?" Vince looked at his son and said "Yes, I did she is on her way". Shane

went over to the couch and Vince followed him. Shane didn't know what to say.

He was in such shock he was speechless. Vince was silent also not know what to

say. The silence was broken by Stephanie walking in. Her face was full of tears

and all of her make-up was smeared. She walked over to Shane and hugged him.

Shane hated to see his sister cry. She was sobbing in his shirt as he comforted her.

She then walked over to her father. Stephanie could see the sadness in his eyes.

Stephanie hugged her Dad, his hug was different though compared to Shane's.

Steph felt as though she was comforting her dad. This is something that never

happened. He was always the one to comfort her. Vince could tell how sad his

children were. He tried to comfort his children but knew he was unsuccessful.

His children were the ones comforting him. Steph went over to the couch and

both Vince and Shane followed. Stephanie broke the silence and said "Dad what

exactly happened?" Vince looked at his daughter, he knew it was a tough question

for her to ask. "Well Steph I came home and I called for your Mom". "When I got

no answer I thought maybe she went out". "But then I realized for car was here".

"I started calling again and looked around the living room". "The first place I

went was the kitchen". When I got into the kitchen I saw a piece of paper. The

paper was a note from your Mom. The note stated she killed herself. The note is

actual still on the counter. I then went upstairs to look for her. I really didn't want

to believe the note. The last room I went to was the bathroom that was where she

was. I checked to see if she had a pulse she did not. I ran to the phone and called

the police. Stephanie went over to her father and said "Oh Dad I'm sorry you had

to see that". Stephanie gave her father another hug. She felt so bad for her father

but she wanted to see the note. Stephanie looked at her father and said "Do you

mind if I read the note?" Vince really didn't want the kids to read the note.

Because their mother sounded so sad in it. He didn't want them to remember

mother like that. Thought he wanted the children to know that Linda loved them

very much. "Yes Steph you can read it, it's on the counter". Shane stayed put he

didn't' want to read it. Reading his mother's last words would only make him

more unhappy. Stephanie was now in the kitchen reading the note. She couldn't

believe what her mother was saying. The note didn't sound like her mom. The

end of the note was were Linda said " I love both Shane and Steph". The end of

the note really mad her sad Love always Linda. Stephanie was kinda of turning

angry. All she could think was "Mom why did you leave?" Stephanie headed back

to the couch, where Shane and Vince were sitting. She was trying to hide the

angry from her face. Vince looked at Steph, she seemed to have angry in her face.

Vince walked towards his daughter, went on one knee and said "Steph, what's

wrong you look mad". She looked right into his eyes and said "I'm mad because

Mom claimed she loved us but why did she leave?" Vince looked into his

daughter's blue eyes and said "Stephanie, I don't know why she left us". Looking

into Steph's eyes remind him of his wife's eyes. "Steph what I do know is that she loved us

all very much". Shane hasn't said much since he has heard the news. Shane is in

shock mode right now. It was now two days since Linda's death. The funeral was

today. This was one of the toughest days of Stephanie, Shane, and Vince's life.

Vince was very strong though, he never shed a tear. Stephanie was crying her

eyes out and Shane was like his father. What Shane and Stephanie didn't know

was Vince did cry. When Vince was alone all he would do was cry. Vince was

starting to go into depression like his wife did. Vince would cry himself to sleep

every night. Today was the day, It has now been three months since Linda's

death. Vince was really depressed now. He didn't eat or sleep, he didn't even go

to work. That was not like Vince he was a workaholic. Shane and Stephanie

deiced they would run WWE for a while. While he was grieving over their

mother's death. Shane and Steph kept in eye on their Dad because they didn't

want him to kill himself also. Today Vince was feeling at his worst. All he could

think was about his wife. "Linda, why did you leave me?" "I didn't make you

happy?" All these questions were running though his mind. He then said "Linda I

want to be with you again". Vince had planned this day for a few weeks now.

Today he would kill himself like his life did. He has become so depressed lately

that he did not want to live anymore. Their was only one thing that kept him

living that was Shane and Steph. Vince felt really bad that he was going to leave

his children. He thought "How will the kids take my death?" "Will they kill

themselves too?" All he knew was they couldn't kill themselves. They had to run

the company when he was gone. He deiced to right a note like his wife did. Vince

headed to the kitchen and started to write.

Dear Steph and Shane, If you find this note, I'm telling you that I can't live

no longer. I have committed suicide. Please don't be mad at me this is something

I had to do. I couldn't stand to live anymore with out your Mom. I loved her so

much and she just left me. Well this is my last words Shane, Steph I love you

both. Please move on and live your lives, continue the success of WWE. The

company that I created. Love your Dad

Vince then went over to the drawer. He pulled out the gun he put there. Vince put

the gun up to his head. He paused for a few seconds. Vince started thinking about

his children. He then saw flashbacks for his wife, it was actual the last time he

saw her. Her last words to him were "Vince, I love you". He remembered looking

at his wife and saying "I love you too Linda". After he said that he laid a soft kiss

on her lips. That was there last kiss together. With that Vince pulled the trigger

BANG. Vince feel to the floor, his last words were "Linda, we will be together

again. Vince got his wish because they did meet again.

The End
