Chapter 33
-Adam's POV
Danny and I rushed into the arena promptly making our way to Vince's office since Smackdown was back in Tampa. "I need to see Mr. McMahon, please," I announced to his receptionist.
"One moment please," she stated as she called into his office. I rested my face in my hands as I waited for a response. "He can see you now," she replied and I grabbed Danny's hand leading her into his office.
"Adam, its nice too see you back. What can I do for you?" Vince asked as he sat behind he big intimidating oak desk.
"Why does Mandy McCarthy have to leave the program. There has to be a better story line. Um...Torrie and I can split up and Mandy can take her place and we could try a run at the tag team titles. It would be amazing. Think of it, a woman hasn't been a tag team champion in like...forever," I pleaded. Vince sat in his oversized chair with his arms crossed listening to me beg.
"Let me explain to you the story line we have created for her. Her currently story line has her and Brock Lesnar as love interests. What is going to happen this week is she is going to walk into her locker room and just so happen to see her sister and Brock kissing on the couch. The following week I am going to announce that a trade will be taking place considering the fact that I don't like how she is being treated on my daughter Stephanie's show. She will move over to raw and Gail Kim will move over to Smackdown since her performances lately haven't be up to par anyway," Vince finished. I looked at him in disbelief.
"Vince, you don't understand. I love her," I stated. He glanced at me with surprise.
"If you really feel that strongly about keeping her here than I suggest you talk to her about it. She's the one who approached me with this idea. It's her decision, not mine!" I couldn't believe this. Mandy had lied to me.
"I don't understand this, she just told me this was your idea," I announced pointing at him. He shook his head.
"Sorry Adam, I had nothing to do with it. I only gave it the okay because I thought its what she wanted. She has tremendous promise, Adam. Surely you can understand that we see an immense amount of talent in her. She probably wants to be on Raw for the Women's Championship. She has taken Smackdown as far as she could and now she is after bigger things. She said that there is nothing left for her here," Vince explained. I turned to leave grabbing Danny by the hand.
"With all due respect, Mr. McMahon, that is where you are wrong. We are here and we love her and no championship belt can change that fact," I yelled as I stormed out of his office. I had to talk to Mandy. I couldn't let her leave. I had to make her understand just how much I loved her and I had to know that she loved me too. I didn't care about anything else anymore. I had lost everything. I didn't even have my friends anymore and now Mandy, the only person who could ever reach me, was leaving too. Danny must have sensed how upset I was.
"Daddy, you really like her don't you?" She stated looking up at me. I picked her up and hugged her.
"She saved my life, Danny," I replied kissing her on the cheek remembering the time I had asked her that same question and she had given me that same answer on the night when Danny had gotten lost. It was the night Mandy entered my life.
"I know she did!" Danny replied hugging me.
(A/N- I know, I'm sad to see it end too...on to the last chapter! R&R!)
