Chapter 2
Two days went by, and Rose was getting anxious to hear from Dawn about her meeting with the chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon himself. She really wanted to wrestle, and had been dreaming about it for years. But she began to think that Dawn hadn't called Vince.
She'd been pacing the floor for about an hour, when finally her cell rang. She ran to the phone and quickly picked it up. She said excitedly. "Hello?"
"What's up Rose? It's Dawn."
"Hey. How are ya?"
"I'm doin good thanks. Listen, I talked to Vince for you."
Rose got excited. "Really? What did he say?"
"He said he looks forward to meeting you, but he's going to call you first."
Rose was happily shocked. "He wants to meet with me?"
"Yep, he sure does. He might call you today."
"Okay. Thanks so much Dawn. I owe you so much for this."
"Nah, you don't have to pay me back. It's the least I can do for you. I told you that already."
"Okay, if you say so."
"Good luck Rose. I'm sure you won't need it, but I'll give it to ya anyways."
"Thanks Dawn. Talk to ya later!"
"Bye Rose." They hung up.
Rose couldn't believe it. She might wrestle. She might fulfill her dream of becoming a diva for the WWE. In the middle of her happy thoughts, her phone rang again. She quickly picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello, this is Vince McMahon. Can I please speak to Rose?"
"This is she."
"Hello Rose. It's nice to talk to you."
"Right back at ya Mr. McMahon."
"Please, call me Vince. Now, I would like to discuss your wrestling career with the WWE. Now I need to know your qualifications."
"Well, I've been training since I was 14 and I've been wrestling for the past two years."
"Very impressive, Rose. Where have you been wrestling?"
"In OVW. I wrestled there under the name Rosita."
"That was you? You had such great talent for a diva. You were one of the best I've ever seen."
Rose beamed with pride. "Do you really think so sir?"
"Yes, I sure do. What is that finisher of yours called?"
"I call it the Diablo. It's like John Cena's Throwback, but instead of bouncing off the ropes, I climb on the top turnbuckle, flip off, grab my opponent's head and slam it face first into the mat."
"I'm impressed. That move worked very effectively on your opponents. And you say you modeled it off of John Cena's Throwback? I have to give you points for that, because the Throwback is a great move."
"Yeah, it is. It's one of my favorites."
"Well Rose, I've decided. Since I've seen you wrestle very well in OVW, and that impressed me very much, I'm going to hire you to be the newest diva on Smackdown. You will debut on Thursday against Sable."
Rose was incredibly ecstatic. "Thank you so much Mr. McMahon. I promise I will not let you down."
"I know you won't, Rose. Welcome to Smackdown. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Thursday."
"Me too sir! Thanks again!"
"You're welcome. Bye." He hung up.
Rose began thinking, Wow! I'm on Smackdown! This is a dream come true! Her phone rang again, interrupting more happy thoughts. It was Dawn. Her voice was shaking. "Rose, oh my god. Rose, I really need to talk to you."
Rose became really concerned. "Dawn, what happened?"
"Rose, John broke up with me." She began to bawl.
"I am so sorry. Do you want me to come over?"
"Yeah. Please come over."
"I'll be right there." She hung up with Dawn, grabbed her purse and keys, ran to her car and drove off to Dawn's apartment. When she got there, she ran to the door and knocked.
Dawn answered the door, her eyes puffy and red from all the crying. "Rose, I'm so glad to see you."
Rose hugged her. "It'll be okay." She walked Dawn inside and sat her on the bed. She sat next to her and put her arm around her shoulder and patted her head. "Dawn, everything will be okay." Dawn buried her face in her hands. She began sobbing. Rose kept her arm around Dawn's shoulder to comfort her. As she did this, she began to think how much closer she and John could get.
