The name is Rebekah Rain and I'm 25 years old with a 5-year-old girl named Jasmine and we both live in a 2-bedroom house in California. I work as a Graphic Designer for major companies and during the weekends I work as a clothing designer for a nearby wrestling school and I do hair and makeup on the side. Jasmine does, or did, have a father, but it's hard for me to tell what happened without breaking down and crying so I don't talk about him. All I've told her about her father was that he was a great man, a fire fighter to be exact, and that his name was Jamez. I've given her a picture of him that I've kept up until the day she started asking about him then I gave it to her and told her to never forget about him. I told her stories of how we met and what he was like before we met. After telling her everything that I could about Jamez I stopped talking about him to anybody else wanted to keep it out of my mind or else I would just break down and cry. If anyone asked about Jamez I'd change the subject or just tell him or her that there was no father, most of them believed that there wasn't since I had a bad rep when I was teenager, which wasn't true! In my high school I was teased because the way that I dressed and acted towards everybody, I wore the black or dark outfits and never talked to anyone. I ignored everyone around me and acted like a total bitch to anyone who tried to pick a fight with me, which I always won over.
I laugh now at the pathetic life I had before Jamez came into it with the drunken dad who could careless about his family having sex every night with a different whore behind my mother's back. I knew that my mom knew, but she was so "in love" with him that she didn't want to believe it so she ignored it and instead started shooting drugs up her arm or into her nose to get high and away from the reality of everything. I had met Jamez in a club that I had sneaked into with couple of 'friends' we started talking and started a friendship. After couple months of just talking and hanging out we became an 'item' and stared a different kind of relationship. Jamez knew everything about the way I lived and promised that he would take me away from it. Then one day after picking me up at the bar, which I was a bartender at, he took me to California and we got married in a little chapel off a dirt road with the money that the both of us had saved up. After that we got us a nice house in the country and Jamez went into the fire department while I went to college for my Graphic designing classes.
I was 20 and he was 26 when I had Jasmine and that same night he was called in to go down to the city for a call about a building being on fire. The building ended up being a freaking skyscraper with some kind of explosives in the basement and they had word that some people were stuck in the building so Jamez, being one of the guys to go into it, never made it out. Some people died in the fire, but most of them survived with few burns or whatever nothing to major, but my Jamez was taken by the building collapsing on top of him! The chief had said that there was no way he could have survived cause the fire was to high if that didn't kill him the smoke would have. After hearing the news Jamez's family came down and took care of Jasmine and me until I could get back on my feet. I finished college and went straight into a company that wanted a Graphic designer and I got the job. After couple of weeks working there I had enough money to get my own house for myself and Jasmine so I moved next door to Jamez's family and that's where I live now. As for my family I laugh now at that as well I mean they heard about what I had done with Jamez by running off to California to get married so they disowned me. I read in a paper last week that my father had died from alcohol poisoning because he had been depressed about my mother's death a few months before from a drug over dose. I never did go to their graves or even to their funeral yeah I know probably something I should've done, but I didn't and I don't feel sorry about it either.
Now I'm sitting in my study room finishing up one of my last projects for the company that I work for when my cell phone starts ringing so I pick it up and answer.
"Hello...Rebekah speaking" I answered
"Hey Bek thanks for the outfit ya made for me" a woman's voice stated on the other end
"Oh hey Jessica! No problem glad ya like it. So how's everything going for ya?" I asked with a smile
"Good I guess, but it could be going a little bit faster around here," Jessica said with a light laugh
"Yeah I know how ya feel so Bill giving ya shit today again?" I asked with a grin
"Hell yeah! Man Bek you won't believe the shit he's been putting me through these past few weeks!" Jessica stated angrily "I mean I know it's called training and all, but damn!" Jessica added annoyingly
"It's almost over with for ya then you can go on and be a famous wrestler" I stated
"I know that Bek it's just getting harder that's all. I mean you know how badly I want this it's been like my dream ever since I was a little toddler!" Jessica stated with a little sadness in her voice
"Yeah I know hey listen ya want to come over for dinner tonight?" I said in a singsong voice
"Oh really? I mean if it's not a problem?" Jessica asked unsure
"Girl get your ass over here!" I stated then Jessica laughed before saying she'd be here then I hung up before going to the kitchen.
I had just put the plates onto the table when I heard a knock at my front door so I walked over and opened the door to see Jessica standing there with a smile on her face. I moved to the side and let her come inside before shutting the door behind myself leading the way over to the kitchen. Jessica sat down with a thankful smile as I handed her the food then we started talking and laughing.
"So where's Jas at?" Jessica asked looking around the room trying to spot Jasmine
"In the den watching cartoons, why want to see her?" I asked putting the plates in the sink after we were done eating
"Sure I'd like to see her I mean I haven't seen her since the time you brought her over to the camp. She was such a cutie" Jessica stated with a smile
"Yeah I know well come on I'll take you to the den" I said
The two of us walked out of the kitchen and down the hallway and over to my left where a door was opened and a TV could be seen in the middle of the room with a little girl with shoulder length black hair sat laughing at the screen. I spoke up so she knew that we were in the room and she turned around looking at the two of us with her blue eyes before jumping off the floor and running into my outstretched arms.
"Hey Jasmine having fun?" I asked softly running my fingers through her hair lovingly
"Yeah mommy I am, but who's this?" Jasmine asked glancing over at Jessica with a nervous smile
"That's Jessica she's one of mommy's friends ya want to meet her?" I asked walking her over to Jessica
"Hey Jasmine ya remember me? When you went with your mom to that camp with all the people doing flips and stuff?" Jessica asked bending down in front of the little girl
"Oh yeah your that one lady who was fighting with that guy. Are you ok?" Jasmine asked
"Yeah I'm fine I didn't get hurt or anything it's just pretend" Jessica stated with a smile
"Oh like on the cartoons?" Jasmine asked with a smile
"Something like the cartoons yeah" Jessica stated and the two walked over to the TV and watched cartoons while talking some more.
I watched by the doorframe with a smile on my face before telling them that I had to make a phone call, but I'd be right back. I walked out of the room and back over and into the living room grabbing my cell phone and resting on the couch while waiting for the person to pick up.
"Hello?" answered a male's voice that sounded like he was in his late 30s
"Hey John how ya been feeling?" I asked my 'dad'
"Oh hey Bek I'm doing just fine...and you?" John asked
"I'm doing better now...Jasmine is watching TV and I just finished up my latest project" I stated
"That's good to hear Bek and how's that wrestling going?" John asked with a smile
"I love it and if I wasn't doing Graphic designing I'm sure I'd be going into it" I stated
"Yes well I want you to know that next weekend someone by the name of Glen Jacobs is going to be coming down to the camp. I got a call from Jordan telling me to let you know since you work there" John stated
"Oh wow this sounds interesting. So you know anything about this Glen guy" I asked with a smile
"Nothing much just that he works for the WWE as a wrestler and he's scouting some potential for the WWE while he's there. Maybe that Jessica lady could make it?" John suggested
"Yeah maybe she might even know who this Glen person is" I stated
"Well dear I'm going to go for now, but I'll call you later on ok?" John stated
"Ok I'll talk to ya later bye dad" I stated and the both of us hung up afterwards.
I was about to get up from the couch when Jasmine jumped over the back of the couch and landed on top of me I smiled over at her then looked back up to see Jessica standing in front of the couch with a smile. I sat up and let Jessica sit beside me while I held Jasmine in my lap.
"Hey Jessica you know someone by the name of Glen Jacobs?" I asked
"Glen Jacobs? Sounds familiar...why ya asking?" Jessica questioned glancing over at me
"Nothing really it's just I got done talking to John and he said that Jordan told him that a Glen Jacobs is coming to the camp next weekend to scout new potential for the WWE" I stated
"Oh my god! He's from the WWE? Oh this is so awesome! You realize that maybe my dreams will be coming true after next weekend? Man Glen Jacobs...now I know where that name sounds familiar he's a wrestler. His name is Kane, it's his gimmick, but why Kane of all people?" Jessica questioned
"All I know is you need to get home and get some rest you've got a match tomorrow" I stated standing up
"Yeah I know man time flies by real fast round here. Oh well guess I'll see ya tomorrow then bye" Jessica said as she walked out of the house and got into her car before driving away. I locked the doors in the house before carrying Jasmine to bed covering her up before going to my own room and falling asleep.
