Wrestlers: Randy Orton, John Cena, Jeff Hardy and more!…
Jessie was an eleven year old girl who'd been through hell, until she meets a wrestler who will help give her the one thing she always wanted…a family.
"Hey Sweetie, you're up early." Jessie smiled nervously wondering if he could smell the smoke on her clothes. He knelt down to her and smiled broadly, "I'm really proud of you, for agreeing to do this today some clothes I want you to wear today." Jessie continued to smile on the outside but scoffed on the inside, like she had a choice. Chris reached to hug her when he smelt the smoke. Within a split second his eyes went from pure joy to rage. Jessie took a step back only to be grabbed. Chris smiled, scaring the hell out of Jessie. "To think that I came by to take you to breakfast for doing so well this week, when you're still going behind my back." Jessie lowered her head. She wanted the cigarettes but hated to see Chris angry with her. Chris sighed, "Take a shower and come to my office." Jessie nodded.
Jessie gawked at the clothes Chris had given her. It was a white polo shirt with Greenwood Home inscribed on it and a pair of khaki shorts. She felt bad, because in Chris's own super strict, no none sense way he really did love her. And she had disappointed him yet again. I'm a screw-up she thought. She walked into Chris's office and he was staring at her with those steely cold eyes of his. By now it was around 730 and Jessie could hear the other kids rustling about trying to get ready for the day. Chris motioned her to come sit next to him and she did. She was so screwed. Jessie just sighed and did as she was told. Chris was about to make good on another promise and she was going to pay for it.
Jessie stared at Chris crying as the cans dropped from her hands. Her arms were burning she couldn't take it anymore. Chris walked over to her and pulled her into his lap and she laid her head against his chest letting her cry softly. He hated doing that, but if she was going to get adopted she had to learn to follow instructions. Slowly Jessie's crying subsided and she looked up at Chris. "I won't smoke anymore," she said in a whisper and Chris just held her close.
"Good." He rocked her soothingly for a few more minutes and then set her on her feet. He left the room and quickly came back with a wash cloth and placed it on her eyes. "I'm going to leave you here for a while. I want you to stay here and think about things and then I'll come back and you can take them on their tour, ok?" Jessie nodded. She glared at Chris as he walked out of the room and closed the door. Since when was stretching your arms out holding a can of peas not enough of a punishment? Oh well it was over, but boy did it hurt.
Jessie sat there waiting for what seemed like eternity when Chris walked back into the room. She wasn't sure just how long it had been but judging by the sounds of the kids and the movement of the sun it was around 11 and she was pissed. Chris noticed the scowl on her face. "What's the matter with you?" Jessie just turned her head and looked out the window. "You know I don't play that, answer me." Jessie grunted, he had her number.
"What the hell, how long were you planning on leaving me in here for?" Chris just smiled, boy was she a firecracker.
"I could always leave you in here longer if that's what you want." Her expression quickly softened and she turned to face him. "Your tour is about to start. No crap, got it?" She nodded, no matter how pissed she was what she got earlier was enough deterrent for a lifetime. Slowly she followed Chris out of the room and down the hallway towards three men standing outside on the grass. Chris stuck his hand out the three gentlemen. "Nice to meet you, this is Jessie." Jessie smiled and quickly looked down. "Alright well, have fun and I guess we'll see you guys later." He gave Jessie one final glare and left. Boy is this awkward she thought. The three men just looked at her. Are they dumb or something? She sighed.
"Well I guess we'll get started then." All three men nodded and she tried her best to not to look like a total idiot.
"So Jessie, how do you like it here," the tall tanned muscular man asked. She shrugged.
"It's ok, I mean they feed you and they pretty much leave you alone." She winced, she probably shouldn't have said that. Two of the men noticed and tried to console her.
"Kid relax, we've already decided to help out we just want a tour as a formality. So chill ok?" She nodded and smiled.
"What are your names?" All three men glanced at each other and broke out laughing.
"You don't know who we are?" She shook her head. Chris hadn't let her have TV privileges in years, but she obviously knew they were wrestlers.
"Well I'm John, this rainbow haired freak is Jeff, and that guy kissing his own muscles is Randy." She nodded she had heard some of the other kids mention their names before. Randy looked at her and smiled.
"Nice to meet you, but why is he smiling, he's not cute?" Jeff and John broke out laughing while Randy scowled.
"Look here kid, I don't take kindly to little kids mouthing off." Jessie smiled.
"I don't take kindly to overgrown men coming here once a year to cleanse their consciences either toad legs." Randy turned red and looked like he was going to explode as Jon and Jeff just broke out laughing hysterically. John stuck out his fist and smiled.
"I never thought that I'd meet someone who could shut Orton up, let alone an eleven year old girl. Randy clearly upset walked ahead of them. The whole rest of the trip Randy and Jessie were taking jabs at each other. Jessie had been making fun of his ears and legs all day, but then she pushed him too far.
"I would burn your tail but it looks like someone already burned your face," he said barely able to control himself now. Both John and Jeff looked at each other in disbelief, how could he say something like that to a little kid. Randy immediately felt bad for saying it, he tried to touch her but the damage had already been done. Jessie quickly turned around and hit him in his balls, then punched him in his face as he fell to the ground. Jeff and John stood wide eyed as Jessie continued to punch and kick this two hundred pound man. Before either one of them knew it they heard footsteps behind them and turned quickly to see Chris and a few other staff members running over to stop this. By now all of the children had heard the commotion and were watching. Chris was the first to reach them and grabbed Jessie off of him.
"Jessie, what's the matter with you?" He was mad enough to spit nails. "Answer me!" Jessie stood there panting and glaring at him. She'd had enough of people today. Before Jeff or John could step in Chris had swatted her several times. Jessie simultaneously burst into tears from embarrassment and sprinted across the yard and into the main house. She locked herself in a small secluded closet and cried. Life just wasn't fair.
