November 18, 2007-Survivor Series: Miami, Florida

Sarah was standing outside the American Airlines Arena in Miami. It was 10 o'clock in the morning. But Sarah had been standing outside it for 2 hours. She had waited for this moment for a long time. Months and months she spent getting back in shape. For months she spent getting her ring skills back to normal. For months she spent getting caught up on the month she lost. And for months…she hid from her father her night with Dave. She couldn't muster up the confidence to tell her dad about it. And now she had to be in the same building as Dave. This was going to be hard. But nothing could take the smile plastered on her face away. She was finally back in the WWE. She was finally home. She walked up to the back way with all her bags. She saw Hank, the back security man standing at his post. She was smiling as she walked up to him.

"Well look what we got here! Am I seeing right or am I really that old?"

"No it's really me Hank. I'm back."

"Well I'll be damned! I take it Vince knows your back. Anyone else?"

"Nope. It's suppose to be a surprise. So keep it a secret will you?"

"OK. By the way your dad just got in. He says he needs to see you. It's urgent."

"Than…wait…my dad is here?"

"Yeah. He just came in. He's in the guest room by Vince's office."

"Umm…ok…thanks Hank."

"No problem hun."

Sarah gave Hank a hug as she walked into the building. The halls were quiet and empty. They were just the way Sarah remembered them. She knew within hours stars would be crowding this hall with all the chatter. But Sarah was getting worried. Why would her dad fly here? Then it hit her. It was her first night back! Why wouldn't he want to fly down and see his little girl? Sarah's smile grew wider as she made her way to the guest room. Within minutes she was in front of the door. She decided not to knock since John practically expected her. She opened the door and walked in to see her dad's back to the door.

"Daddy I'm..."

"I know Sarah."

All of a sudden, Sarah's smile faded and her stomach dropped. Was he talking about what she thought he was talking about? She slowly put her bag down as John turned to her.

"I don't understand what you're talking about Dad."

"You and Dave damn it! I know all about it!"

Shit. It was what she thought it was. John ran his free hand over his hair and sighed. Sarah looked down, as if the floor had an answer written on it. Too bad there wasn't. What could she say? There was no way in defending herself.

"Dad…I…"

"Why Sarah why?! You are only 16! And you go and pull a stunt like this!"

"Daddy please! Let me explain!"

"Fine! Talk! Before I make you close your mouth and legs for good!"

"OK! First off…Hello! Secondly…daddy it was a mistake. The guys let me have a drink and that turned out to be a lot. Daddy it was my fault. Please don't blame Dave."

"I'll blame whoever the hell I wanna blame! You both are at fault! I can't believe you Sarah…and for you to keep this from me! Why?"

"Because! You would blow up like this! You know what? I'm not going to take this!"

Sarah took her stuff and opened the door to go out. Sarah didn't want to deal with this on her first night back. As she walked out John grabbed her arm.

"Where do you think your going!"

"Somewhere away from you!"

Sarah got out of his grasp and slammed the door behind him. She knew exactly where she would go. And she knew who would meet her there too. She whipped out her cell phone and texted the person. She had to talk to them. They were the only person she could trust. She only hoped he would understand her situation more then her dad did.

Shawn, Hunter and Stephanie stepped out of the limo they were in and looked at the American Airlines Arena. Stephanie was holding little Aurora in her arms as Hunter out his arm around her. Shawn sighed as he looked at it. He missed performing on paper views. Now he was back and better then ever.

"Miss it Shawnie?"

"Just a little. And don't call me that. You know I hate that."

"OK…Shawnie."

"Hunter…"

"OK Steph I'm sorry!"

Shawn laughed as Stephanie smiled at Hunter. It made Shawn to see Hunter with Stephanie. He was so whipped! The 3 walked to the side door and said hello to Hank. As they walked in they looked at the schedule on the cork board.

"Hey honey. I gotta bring our little girl to Vince. Meet me in the office?"

"Sure babe."

Hunter kissed Stephanie before she walked off with Aurora. Shawn laughed as he looked at the list. Hunter hit him on the shoulder hard. Shawn winced as he rubbed the shot where Hunter hit him.

"You deserved it."

"Fine…whipping boy."

Hunter snarled and Shawn ran off. He knew Hunter would beat him to a pulp if he stayed around any longer. Shawn stopped to take a breather. Suddenly his phone beeped. He had a text message. He took out his phone and looked at it.

'Come 2 the room. U know where it is. From u kno who.'

Shawn read the text over and over again. Could it be? Was Sarah really back? He read the text again 10 times over. It was real. Sarah was back. And she really needed to talk to him. Shawn broke out in a run to the secret room. He had waited for Sarah's return. Now he could finally see her. But what was so urgent?

January 2006

Dear Sarah:

Well it's Royal Rumble time! Your daddy gets a chance at the WWE Championship once again. And guess what? He wins! I know it's so amazing! Adam deserves the title but not from my dad!

So guess what? I have a boyfriend! That's right! His name is Sam Donovan. I kinda stole him from Julia…but she'll get over it! Their going to different schools anyways. So he's really nice and I really like him. Well of course I do! He's my boyfriend! I think it might be love!

Grr! Shawn keeps looking over my shoulder to see what I'm writing! I swear he can be such a kid sometimes! Haha you know I mean that with love Shawn! Shawn is the coolest person ever! Hey Shawn! Sorry…Shawn wrote that…

So closing words! Let's see…don't let Sam go! He's one of the best things to happen to you! And…remember to bring something to cover your letter with next time!

Hey!

Sorry Shawn…it's true. I don't look over your shoulder.

You did the first day we wrote these things!

Well that was the first day weirdo!

Well…I don't know!

It's OK. I still love you.

Yay! I'm loved!

OK…anyways…back to this letter! You have the best job EVER! Don't do anything to ruin it! Got it? OK gotta head out! Talk to you next time!

"I remember that."

Sarah turned around quickly. She didn't even hear the door open. Shawn gave her that smile she had missed. Sarah smiled as she got up and gave Shawn a big hug. Both couldn't help but let some tears escape.

"So what was the urgency Sarah?"

Sarah pulled away and looked at Shawn. He looked like he was in the best shape of his career. He pulled off the scruffy look very well. Sarah sighed as she looked away.

"I did something horrible Shawn back in June."

"What? What did you do?"

"It was the night after the draft. I was staying in a room with Ric, Hunter, Randy and Dave…"

"Mmhmm…"

"And…something happened."

"Like…"

"I got drunk. And…ended up having sex with Dave."

Sarah couldn't believe she just told Shawn what she said. He didn't look shocked. But inside Shawn wanted to yell at her for messing her life up. It was catholic morals to wait till marriage. Well she kinda went against those. Shawn sighed as he played with his pony tail.

"Shawn please don't be mad! I know it was a bad choice and a horrible mistake! I totally regret it! So please don't yell at me! My dad is pissed enough as it is!"

Shawn could see the tears building up in Sarah's eyes. He would yell at her. But she knew what she did was wrong. Sarah's first day back was supposed to be a happy day. He didn't want to ruin it. He sighed as he walked over to Sarah and hug her.

"I won't yell at you."

"Thank you."

"But you do know I'm disappointed in you."

"Yes."

"OK. Welcome back kiddo."

"Thanks. I have to go get ready."

Sarah gave Shawn a kiss on the cheek as she grabbed her things and headed out. Shawn stared at the door for a little while longer. Sarah had grown up so fast. She wasn't the 14 year old he remembered meeting years ago. She had definitely changed. He loved seeing her around again. Standing there alone, he did a silent prayer to hope God watched over her and protected her. Because she would need all the prayers in the world to make it through tonight.
