"Mom, you okay?" Shane looked at his mom and could see she had been
crying. "Did dad hurt you because if he did I will hurt him". "No, no Shane he
didn't". "You know your father, he would never raise a hand to me". "He asked me
to stay with him and I told him no". "He told me he was sorry for the hurtful things
he had said". "He said that he would change and he wouldn't cheat anymore". "I
told him it was too late and I still wanted a divorce". "Mom it's not because of me
that you two are getting a divorce". Linda smiled at her son, "Shane in no way is
this your fault this is something that had to be done". "Yes but mom I still feel
somewhat responsible". "Shane, please don't blame yourself for this". "This is his
fault". "Shane I really did try my best to make this marriage work". "It was your
father who didn't want the marriage to work". "If anything you helped me, you
made me see the light somewhat". "You truly showed me what your father was
like". "Shane love is blind, I couldn't see it".
Shane continued to drive to Steph's house. Part of him still felt guilty. Part
of him blamed himself for the divorce. Linda could see that and she knew no
matter what she said part of him would still blame himself. Stephanie's house
wasn't far from the mansion. It was maybe a 15 minute drive. The ride seemed to
go by very quickly. Shane looked at Linda, "well were here, let me go get your
bags". Linda smiled, "thanks". Shane went to the trunk and grabbed all the bags.
"You ready, mom?" Linda nodded and they both headed to Stephanie's door.
Shane rang the bell and no later did the door open. "Hi mom, hi Shane". "Come on
in". Linda walked in and Shane followed. "Mom you will of course have the spare
bedroom on the right and Shane you will go put her bags in the room". Shane
nodded and headed to the bedroom. "Shane really, you don't have to do that".
Shane smiled, "it's no problem".
"So how did things go with dad?" "I guess it went as good as possible". "He
told me to please take him back". "That he would finally change". "He said he was
sorry for the hurtfully things he has said". "You know Steph part of me wanted to
forgive him". "Then the other part of me thought of all the unhappiness he caused
me". "The unhappiness defiantly out weighted the happiness". "So I told him it
was too little too late and that I still wanted a divorce". "What did he say?" "I don't
really know because I just told him I would send the papers and left". "Good for
you mom". "You know there was a part of me that actually felt bad for dad". "But
now I see the unhappiness he caused you and he deserves it". "Steph yes he does
but he still is your father". "Yes but the things he said to you and Shane was
uncalled for". "How could he say that Shane was no longer his son?"
"I don't know, I know he sure inst the same man I married". With that both
Stephanie and Linda could hear Shane coming down the stairs. "I wanted to tell
you both something". "I'm going to be meeting Dylan on Saturday". "I thought
maybe I should go alone". "So that Dylan doesn't get so confused". "But I will ask
Nikki if I can take him from awhile to meet you both". They both nodded, "we
understand". "I really want to meet my grandson". "I have a little nephew to met".
"Oh God I can already see it now Dylan is going to be spoiled rotten with mom
over here". Linda smiled, "what do you think grandma's are for". "Dylan is going
to have every toy that the toy store sells". "Stephanie I won't be that bad".
"So any ways I'm going to leave". "What day are you going to bring Dylan
by?" "I'm not sure hopefully Saturday or Sunday, it depends what Nikki says". "Ok
well I guess I will see you guys later". "Okay Shane see ya later, love ya".
Stephanie gave Shane a hug. "See ya later Shane, I love you". Shane smiled, "I
love you too mom". Shane placed a quick kiss on his mom's cheek. "Bye". "Shane,
please drive safe". "Yes mother, bye".
Well it's been 3 days since that day. God I wish my dad would stop leaving
messages on the phone. He always says "oh Linda I know your there please
pick-up". I'm sick of it already. The next time he calls I'm going to pick-up and
yell at him. It's like dad get over it mom left you. I'm just so mad at him. How
could he yell and scream at me and my mom? The only few people that stood by
him though thick and thin. To think that at one time I actually wanted to be him. I
would never want to me him now. My dad has caused so much pain to so many
people. He didn't even care who he hurt. He has hurt me, my mother, Stephanie at
times. This is his own flesh and blood talking here. I'm his only son, and now he
has disowned me. Stephanie has called me and told me that dad has been calling
also. I know that eventually my mom will pick-up. My mom has always been a
softy. Everybody that has ever met her said she was a sweetheart. I remember so
many business deals she got because she was just a sweet lady. Everybody loved
her and she always got all the business deals.
Well I'm going to be meeting Dylan soon and I am so nervous. This is my
son that I am going to meet for the first time. My own flesh and blood. I am really
going to have to talk to Nikki. I am going to try and apology for what I did. I feel
really bad for making her raise Dylan on her own. She had so many dreams and
they were effect by a child that I helped create. I know Nikki though she probably
found some way to go though with her dreams. I remember she always wanted to
be a nurse. I always told her she would be a great nurse. I remember one time I had
hurt my leg, she took care of the leg and give me ice for it. When she took care of
me it was so gentle and caring from that day on I knew she would be a nurse. She
always told me she wanted to either work in pediatrics or in the emergency room.
Now when I think about it today I don't know why we ever broke up. I know some
of the reason was we both had very different careers. Plus the wrestling business is
a tough business to have a relationship in. I think my parents proved that. Your
always on the road, your never home.
With that the phone starts to ring. I look at the phone and I already know
who it is. I decide to answer and talk to my dad. "Hello". Vince on the other line
went silent. He thought it was Linda that picked-up. "Oh hi Shane". "Is your
mother there?" "No she is not". "Look son I'm really sorry for what I said". "I
didn't mean it, I was angry and confused". "Dad I don't know if I can forgive you".
"Look please I'm really sorry". "Dad I think mom said it best too little, too late".
With that Shane hung up the phone. He knew that Stephanie's house was getting a
phone call right now.
Well it's been 3 days since I asked Vince for a divorce. He has been trying to talk
to me, leaving messages and begging for forgiveness. Sometimes I just want to
grab the phone and yell at him. Does he really think this can all be solved by a
simple, I'm sorry? If he does think that then maybe he doesn't know me. I just wish
this would be over with already.
With that the phone rings, Linda almost laughs. Oh I wonder who that could be?
There has only been one person calling this house for 3 days. Oh Vincent what
new lines do you have to sell me? "Hello". Vince almost smiled, "hi Linda it's me
Vince". "Yes I know it's you Vince". "Please forgive me I'm really sorry for what I
did". "I never meant to hurt you in anyway". "Well you know what Vince, you did
hurt me". "You hurt me very much and I hope you are feeling at least half the pain
I felt". "It doesn't feel to good does it when someone lies to you?" "It doesn't feel
to good when someone leaves you". "No it doesn't Linda it feels terrible, I'm so
sorry you had to go though this". "I just want you to please forgive me, please
come back home". "No I can't come back, I can't deal with the pain anymore".
"Please Linda, I love you so much". "Vince for someone you love so much you
sure don't show it". "Vince loving someone is not lying to them". "Loving
someone is not cheating on them either". "Loving someone is about always being
there". "Always being there for the person though good times and bad times".
"Vince I was always there for you". "I know you were Linda that is why we need
to stay together". "No we can't stay together". "I guess we weren't meant to be".
"Goodbye Vincent for the last time".
With that Linda hung up the phone. She wanted to cry so much, that was one of
the hardest things she had ever done. It was so hard to tell the person you love that
you will no longer be together. Linda looked around the house and saw a picture.
She almost laughed, it was a picture taken when Steph and Shane were younger. In
the picture was all of them as a family. Linda, Vince, Shane, and Steph they were
all in the picture making a snowman. Linda remembered that day like it was
yesterday. Those were happier times, times were they were a family. Linda missed
that so much. She wanted her once picture family back so much. Linda wished so
much that things would go back to the way they were before. But she knew they
never would.
