Chapter 10 - Dark Match
July 2008- Diary, I'm so in love with him, I wander if we'll be like John and Yoko. I want to be with him forever.
"All packed up?" Jeff asked coming to the hotel. "Yep, I'm so excited, I wait till tomarrow" I said. My first dark match was tomarrow. "Stay calm don't freak just stay calm" Jeff said. We took our stuff to Jeff's rental car we were in San Antonio, Jeff let me drive because he was dead tired and I know the area better. My first show was in Houston, my home town. It was a RAW vs. Smackdown show so my dad was destined to be there, he wasn't aware of my first match. So far Vince was impressed by my wrestling ability. I was getting tired I looked at the clock 3am. I called Ashley, "hello" she sounded like she was half dead. "Were you asleep?" I asked the obvious. "Yeah" she mumbled. "I'm sorry" I said, I really was. "it's ok sweetie" she said. "I'm on my way to Houston and I was getting tired so I was wandering if you would keep me awake." I said. "No problem, what did Vince say?" she asked. "Well he seemed really impressed and I got my first dark match!!" I said. "Really aww hunny that's awsome! Does your dad know?" she asked. "No, I'm afraid of what he'll say" I said. "I'd love to see his face when he hears your name called." Ashley said. "Well I'm not using my real name, I'm going by Sadie" I said. "Aww you mean like the song?" Ashley said refering to the Beatles song "Sexy Sadie". "Yeah" I said like DUH. "Well hey I'm in Houston so I'm gonna get off here, what hotel are you guys in?" I asked. "Umm, The Hilton Garden Inn on Liberty Street" she said. "Ok, bye" "Bye babe" we hung up.
"Jeff, Jeff, come on baby wake up" I said nudging him. "Huh-what?" he jumped. "We're here." I said turning off the engine. We went to the front desk, "Hi, I need a room" The lady looked at me strange."Name?" she asked. "Sara Calaway" I said, she was still looking at me weird. "Umm, is your father Mark Calaway?" she asked. I squinted,"Yeah why?" I asked. "Well, first here's your key, room 322C, and second, your father said if you come here to tell you to meet him at the bar." She said. "Okay" I said. "Hey babe, I'm gonna go to bed" Jeff said. "Ok babe" we kissed and he went to the elevator. I walked to the bar and when I turned the corner I saw my dad talking to Shawn Micheals. Shawn saw me and pointed. My dad turned around. "Hi dad" I said. "Hey girlie, so what's this I hear about you having a match tonight?" he said. "Yea, I've been training real hard and Vince said if I impress him in my match tonight the he'll give me a contract." I said, I looked at Shawn and he held up his thumbs, at least he was proud of me, he was like an uncle. "Well, I'm sure you know how I feel about this." dad said. I rolled my eyes,"Dad, with all due respect, I don't care what you think about me wrestling, I'm a big girl, I don't need your aproval to go take a shit anymore, I wish you could just be proud of me for once at least say it, do you know how damaging it is for your dad to never say he's proud of you? So dad you can think whatever you want to think but just keep your opionions to yourself, wrestling is what I want to do and you know what, I'm pretty fucking good. I love you dad, I love you to death but if you can't respect me with the respect that you expect from everyone else, then fuck you, I love you, goodbye." I walked away feeling amazing that was such a rush. I went to our room and changed and got into bed with Jeff, he looked so cute. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him, "I love you" I whispered in his ear.
"All we are saying is give peace a chance." my phone alarm rang. I looked over and Jeff was gone, I listened, the shower. I got up and joined him. "Morning" I said putting my arms around his wet body. I smiled and took him. We got out, "Can I come with you?" Jeff asked like a little 6 year old asking to play with the 12 year olds. I smiled and nodded. "yay!!" he said clapping his hands and jumping around, I shook my head, "come on scooter". I said. We met Ashley and Matt in the dinning area, "hey Sara, over here" Ashley said. A cute southern and obviously gay kid came over and took our orders, "Hello ma'am what will you be having?" he asked. "Umm, 2eggs scrambled, bacon, wheat toast, grape jelly, please" I said. "Oh and orange juice please" I followed. "Ok and you sir," He asked Jeff. "Same please" Jeff said. I smiled. My uncle Glenn, Ashley's dad, came by, "OWWWW" I said, he pulled on my ponytail. "Dick!" I said. He raised his eyebrows and said, "get your little ass over here". I walked to him and we hugged, "good luck" he whispered. I smiled, "thanks" I said. "Hi Daddy" Ashley said. Glenn puckered his lips blowing her a kiss, "I'm so jealous of your relationship with your dad." I said. Ashley pouted her lips "I sorry" she said. We went to the gym and at 11 am we left and went for a ride I showed them around Houston, where I used to live where I went when I ran away when I was 13. We ate a late luch at 3pm. We went back to the hotel at 6:30pm. My match was in a hour. I had to go get ready. I got the news that I was fighting the diva I hated the most, Beth Pheonix. There was no determined winner so I could do whatever I wanted.
It was finally 7:30, I heard Lilian say "headed to the ring, from New York, Beth Pheonix, and her opponet from right here in Houston, Texas, Sadie!!" I came to the ring and got the crowd fired up, they actually liked me. I anhialated her. I had her down so I climbed to the top rope and did a shooting star press, "One two three" I won. "Here's your winner Sadie" Lilian said. I went to the back, Jeff was there he grabbed me, "I'm so proud of you, you did so good." My dad was standing there, "Sara, I'm so proud of you." He said. It took everything I had not to cry. I hugged him, "thanks daddy." I said. Vince was on his way over to me "Sara could you please sign here?" He said. I signed my contract. That night we had a huge party at my dad's house.
