Vince's Downfall
By: Nicole
6 Months Later
Well it's been 6 months since that day. I have to admit keeping this secret
was not easy. At times this cancer really makes me feel awful. And
because know about me having cancer it's worse. No is here to support
me or comfort me. I have to say though the symptoms are not that bad.
I really don't think anyone has suspected anything. I'm pretty much living
my normal life. The one person who I think know something is up, is of
course Linda. She is always asking me if my okay. I got really worried
about her finding out last week. last week I got really sick. For 3 days I
didn't get up or do anything. I of course lied and said it was the flu.
Those 3 days were a reminder of what was to come. I have really tried
my best to act normal and be normal. Although I know I haven't been the
same since that day.
Linda's Point Of View
Well the last 6 months have been odd. Ever since that doctor's trip 6
months ago. Vince has been different. He doesn't talk much, he just inst.
himself. He doesn't seem happy to me. I don't know what to think. I
don't know if he is depressed or worse. Maybe he is cheating on me
again. Oh God I really hope not. I just wish that he is not cheating. I can
take him being depressed but I can't take him cheating. Oh I just wish I
knew what was going on. I want to ask him but I know he will just tell me
that nothing is wrong. Oh how I hate when I ask him if something is
wrong and he says "Linda everything is just fine". When I look into his
eyes I see different. I see guilt and sadness like he is keeping something
from me. The look is similar to the one he gave me when he denied
cheating. But Cheating is just one of my guesses. lately he hasn't been
around much. That's is why I think he might be cheating. He claims there
is a lot of work to be done. I have really thought about talking to his
doctor. Maybe there was something he said that day. Well I'm going to
try and ask Vince one more time. Linda looked over at the oven and shut
it off. The buzzer on the oven woke her from her thoughts. Linda went in
the other room to see Vince sitting on the couch. "Vince, honey dinner is
done". Vince looked up and smiled. "Okay honey be right there". Linda
noticed that before she had called him, he seemed out of it. Like he was
thinking like her. Vince headed to the table and Linda placed the pan on
the table. "What did you make Linda?" "Oh it's meat loaf and mashed
potatoes". "Is that okay?, or no" "Yes that's fine, it looks great".
"thanks". They both ate and not much was said until Linda spoke. "Vince
there is something we have to talk about". Vince became nervous not
knowing what she was going to talk about. "What is it?, Linda" "Well
Vince I have noticed that in the past 6 months you haven't been yourself".
"Your not the same person I know and love". "lately you haven't been
home". "You say that there is work to be done that's why your not home".
"What's going on Vince?" Vince was so sick of hearing these questions.
Vince actually was becoming annoyed. "There is nothing wrong with me
Damit!!" After Vince said that he felt so guilty. His words seemed so
hateful and cold. Linda was surprised by his out burst. Vince was never
one to yell at her. "Don't you yell at me". "I'm just wondering what is
wrong". "Vince please tell me your not cheating". Vince was surprised,
how could she accuse him of cheating. "I can't believe you Linda". "I
thought you said after Nancy you would trust me". Vince got up from the
table and walked out the front door. Linda was now totally dismayed. All
she did was asking him a few simple questions. Vince stormed into his car
and headed to the nearest road. "Oh great she really is going to think
something is up". "Oh how I blame myself for not telling the truth".
"Linda thinks I'm mad at her but I'm not I'm mad at myself". "I wish I
could just tell the truth but I can't". "And real great now she thinks that
I'm cheating". "Well doesn't that just put the icing on the cake". "I still
can't believe I yelled at her". "I never yell at her". "Now she will probably
hate me forever". "Maybe she will even leave me". "She just might leave
because she thinks I'm cheating". "Although if she leaves maybe that isn't
such a bad thing". "If she leaves me she will be mad at me and not care if
I die". "So when I die the pain won't be so bad for her". "What am I
thinking of course she will care". "Well tonight probably blew my cover".
"Maybe now would be the time to tell the truth". "there is still a part of
me that can't". "I promised I wouldn't tell anyone". "Oh but this is
becoming to much for me". Linda sat back at the house still in shock. "I
can't believe he just walked out". "Maybe I was right, he must be
cheating". "Oh I just wish he would tell me what was going on". "I don't
even care if he cheating I just wanted to know what's going on". "For
some reason I have a feeling he is not cheating". "He did promise me last
time he cheated, he wouldn't do it again". "But what's the old saying
promises are made to be broken". "I dunno I still have a feeling it has to
do with that Doctor's trip". "I'm going to call him right now". "I have to
know I can't stand to wait anymore". Linda heads to the phone and dials
the number. "Hello this is Doctor Mederios". "Hi Doctor this is Linda
Mcmahon". "Oh well hello Mrs. McMahon". "Don't tell me the flu is getting
to you too". "Actually no doctor I have a question". "My husband about 6
months ago went to go see you". "Well ever since that day he hasn't been
himself". "he seems not to talk much and always has to work". "Mrs.
McMahon he didn't tell you". "Tell me what doctor?" "Well I thought that
was the reason you called me, was because of Vince's health". "What
didn't Vince tell me doctor"? "Mrs. McMahon I'm sorry to have to be the
one to tell you but your husband has....". The doctor paused. "Actually
Vince should really tell you". "Look doctor please tell me". "It's been 6
months I don't think he is going to tell me". "Okay well Vince has cancer".
"He has about 2 years to live".
"What"? "Yes 6 months ago he was digonaed with it". Right at that
moment Vince walked in the door. Linda was still in shock and didn't know
what to say. "Hello Linda, I'm back we need to talk". Linda just stayed on
the couch and couldn't believe what the doctor had just told her. "Linda
are you okay?, Hello". "Hello yes can I call you back, thanks bye". Linda
hung up the phone and turned around to face Vince. She looked at him
and wanted to cry. Was it true what the doctor told her? Was her
husband going to die? "Linda are you okay?" "Look I need to talk to you
Linda". "Vince why didn't you tell me?" "Tell you what Linda?" "Oh come
on Vince don't play dumb with me". "I just talked to your doctor". Vince
was shocked. "Why the hell did you talk to him?" "Do you know what he
told me Vince?" "What?" "He told me that my husband has cancer and he
has 2 years to live". "Vince a doctor told me not you". "Why didn't you
tell me?" "Linda I couldn't tell you". "I didn't want to hurt you". "Do you
know how hard it is to tell someone you love that your going to die". "I
didn't want to cause pain to you or Shane or Stephanie". "How would the
kids take it if they found out there dad was dying". "Vince you still should
of told us". "We could have been here to support you". "It must have
been tough on you when the doctor says your going to die". "Vince I'm
just angry that you didn't tell me". "What were you going to do keep this
a secret forever". "Vince we would have found out sooner or later".
"Linda don't you understand I didn't tell you to protect you". "Protect me?,
how can not telling your wife your going to die of cancer protected her".
"I just didn't want you to be in any pain when I die". "I actually thought
that if you divorced me it would help the situation". "If you thought I was
cheating and left me you wouldn't be in any pain when I died". "Vince
how can you think such a thing". "I would still care if you died". "Vince I
love you very much that is why I stuck by you when you cheated on me".
"And your not cheating so why would I leave you". "Well I thought after I
yelled at you, you would get mad and leave". "Vince I didn't mean to get
you mad I just wanted answers". "How would you feel if I got cancer and
didn't tell you". "What if I was acting the way you were". "You were
working all the time, you didn't talk much". "Vince you were not the same
person I had known". "That was one of the reasons I thought you were
cheating". "The first few months of this I just thought the business was
stressing you out". "Then I realized it had to be something else".
"Business wasn't that bad". "Linda are you mad at me?" "No, I'm just
angry you didn't tell me sooner". "I'm really sorry Linda I just couldn't tell
you". "You understand don't you". "Yes". "Come here Linda". Linda
walked closer to Vince. "Linda I love you so much and I'm not going to let
this end my life". Vince placed a kiss on Linda's lips. "Vince I love you too
and I want you to know that I am here for you whenever you need me".
"Thanks so much Linda".
Linda looked out the window. It had been three years since that day. It
had been a year since Vince's passing. She almost felt like it was
happening right now. But it was all just a distant memory. Oh how she
longed for that day again. Vince had gone though some tough chemo and
at the end it was tough for him. Linda in his last days would just sit with
him. She felt so bad because there was nothing she could do. Linda cried
so much because she felt so bad. There was nothing to do other than
watch him die. Even in Vince's last hours he was thinking about how
everyone else was. Vince also felt bad he could see his wife was in pain
because he was. Vince felt so bad sometimes. There were times where
she would cry by his bed. He pretend to be sleeping but he really wasn't.
Inside he was crying so much when he heard her sobs. So many times he
would try to comfort her but couldn't. Their was nothing he could do.
Vince couldn't change the fact that he was going to die. Oh how he
wished he could not have cancer. In Vince's final hours he was in so much
agony. Linda saw how much pain he was in and just wanted the pain to
end for him. Vince looked at his wife and his sight became blurry. "Lin, I
just wanted you to know something before I die". "I love you so much
and you were a blessing". "You gave me two beautiful children and you
were always there for me". "You even forgave me after I didn't tell you I
had cancer". "I just want you to know how much you mean to me". Linda
was in tears and put Vince's hand in hers. "Vince I love you so much".
"Vince you were the blessing in my life". "You kept me alive and young".
"I can never thank God enough for bring you into my life". Linda began to
cry and kissed Vince's hand. "Oh come on Lin please don't cry, you know I
hate to see you cry". Linda looked up and smiled. Vince took Linda's hand
and kissed it lightly. "Linda tell Shane and Stephanie that I love them
both". "Tell them that they mean everything to me and I could never ask
for better children". Linda nodded and said "Vince they love you too, very
much". Vince's eyes started to close a little more. "Linda, I love you and
take care of Shane and Steph". Vince squeezed his wife's hand and kissed
it one last time. "I love you too Vince and don't you ever forget that". "I
know". Vince closed his eyes and took his final breath. Linda started to
sob and couldn't believe he was gone. Linda looked at her hand and
brought it to her cheek. That was the hand Vince kissed. "Oh why?"
"Why is God taking my love from me". Linda looked at her husband and
kissed his forehead. When she kissed his forehead it seem so cold. The
person that she once loved seemed so lifeless. The person who could
once benchpress more than a 20 year old seemed so lifeless. Linda looked
at Vince and said "Why does life have to be so cruel to be, why"?
