Loving You
I walked towards the kitchen counter where the "goodbye letter" laid. I looked down at my hand where Ethan's sign of love rested around my right ring finger. Slowly, I took the ring off. I felt the tears building up but I tried my hardest to blink them away. Pressing the engagement ring against my mouth I looked at the house that I was supposed to be sharing with the love of my life, the house that I decided to leave behind. With resentful hesitation I put the ring on top of the letter that explained the reason of why I was calling off the engagement and why I decided to go pursue the dream that staying here put on hold. As a tear finally rolled down my cheek I turned, grabbed my suitcase and headed for the door.
Two weeks later
"Give me 15 laps around the ring!" the trainer yelled "you thought this was going to be easy? You wish you hadn't signed up for this right! You weak, worthless piece of shit!"
It's been two weeks since I left and my first week since my new life started. I now shared a room with two other girls who shared the same dream as I did: to be in a WWE ring. Ethan had called 25 times since I left but I hadn't had the courage to answer and truly explain to him why I left.
"Stop! You can leave now, be prepared tomorrow because now that we have tested your condition to handle exhaustion, you are actually going to start learning the basics of wrestling holds. Delanieh, I want to talk to you for a minute" Shocked and I'll admit it, nervous I jogged where Dave stood. "You need to start working harder, you're probably the most out of shape of all of them. Do you want to have a one-on-one training session with one of us?" he asked
"No thank you, I know I'm not as athletically ready as most of the others but I try my hardest to be on the same level as them. Just give me a couple of weeks and I promise I'll be able to do twice as what I can do now." I answered. Once I received an approving nod from Dave, I turned on my heels and walked out of the gymnasium towards my car. After a few minutes of driving I finally arrived at the apartments specifically designed for wrestling students. I got out if the car and dragged my feet up the stairs and just outside my room. I opened the door and found Isabelle- my roommate- putting lip gloss on. She was wearing a tight dark blue dress that reached the top of her knees. She looked beautiful to be honest, the curls of her hair fell nicely against her back and her eyes where defiantly eyes you could die for.
"Where are you going all dressed up? Wait! Are you going on a date?" I asked
"Yes! Matthew FINALLY asked me to go to dinner with him" Isabelle replied excitement clearly in her voice.
"You could have at least told me, I thought we were going to watch a marathon of Supernatural and I was looking forward to it." I said while she grabbed her purse and left for the door.
"Sorry! Some other time I promise!" Isabelle shouted before she closed the door.
"Yeah whatever" I whispered to myself. I was happy that Isabelle finally got a date with the guy that she had been dying to go out with. But I was also sad that since I got here I hadn't really found anyone to talk to and I was lonely, Isabelle was the kind of girl that always went out clubbing or to parties, not that there's anything wrong with that but I'm not exactly the girl that appreciates to get drunk almost every day. Disappointed I took my shirt and shorts off and went to the bathroom to take a shower. As I felt the water wash away the sweat I ran my fingers through my hair and felt relaxed. Something that I hadn't felt for years. After a quick shower I changed to some Capitan America pajamas and laid on my bed. Just as I was about to turn the TV on my phone rang, it was Ethan. I looked at my phone for a few seconds and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Delanieh! Where are you? I've been trying to call you for the past 2 weeks but you don't answer. Please tell me this is one of your ridiculous jok-" Ethan began but I cut him off.
"I'm sorry, I really am. I know I'm a jerk for doing this but you left me no choice, you told me it was either you or wrestling and well, I made my decision. I love you Ethan but you tried to take away the only thing that made me truly happy and that's something that I can't choose between. I'm sorry, for disappointing you and everyone else. Don't expect me to come back because I'm not going back. I love you and I'm sorry for doing so." Before Ethan could say anything else I hung up, not wanting to hear his reaction. I grabbed a pillow and began to sob into it. I'm a horrible person, leaving everything behind just to possibly get an opportunity. "Selfish! Selfish!" I shouted hitting my hand against my head. Taking a deep breath and forcing myself under the blankets I fell asleep with a pounding in my head.
