~thanks for the reviews ~
I arrived in Greensboro North Carolina the next day; I have the address to the arena where my father is supposed to be. All I have to do now is find a taxi.
I see someone getting out of one over by the exit and I sprint for it. I make it just as I go to get in a guy bumps into me, the address flies out of my hand I reach to grab it but it gets picked up in the wind and blown away.
I feel my heart drop that was the only copy of the address I had. I turn back around to see the guy that bumped into me watching as well as the paper floats away. "Sorry, hope that wasn't important." He says turning back to the taxi. "Oh no don't worry it was nothing just the address to find my dad." I said sarcastically. "Why don't you just ring him up and ask him for the address." The guy said.
"Hmm yes I could do that except I don't have a phone number!" I yelled at the guy.
"Ok listen I've visited here a few times, do you remember the street name?" he asked "It wasn't a street name it was a sporting arena." I said calming down at least he was trying to help. "Do you remember the name." he asked. "I think it was something Coliseum or something like that." I said trying to remember the name.
"The Greensboro Coliseum Complex?" he said. "Yes that's it." I said "Oh thankyou so much you have no idea how important this is."
"Excuse me am I going to drive one of you somewhere?" the taxi driver called out. "Oh, well you go I'll just wait." I said moving away from the taxi.
"No, I was heading near the coliseum anyway so why don't we just go together?" he suggested. "Ok." Is said getting into the taxi.
"Greensboro Coliseum Complex, please." He said. "My name is Faith." I said as he got in. "Nice to meet you Faith, my names John Cena." John said.
As we drove I looked at him more closely, he had blue eyes and brown short hair he was wearing a shirt that said "Word life" and a chain with a padlock around his neck.
"So I take from your accent your from Texas?" he asked me. "Yep born and bred." I said.
"So Mr Cena where are you from?" I asked enjoying having someone to talk to to get my mind of these butterflies in my stomach that won't shut up.
"Massachusetts." He said. "Ok, so what are you doing in North Carolina?" I asked.
"Work." John answered. "What about you?" "Meeting my Dad, You don't like to talk much do you?" I asked "Where here." Was all he said?
John got out and I followed I paid half to the taxi driver and John paid the rest. I walked towards the front of the building but John pulled me back. "Listen, I was wondering you know if you're in town for awhile would you like to go out sometime."
I looked at John first he doesn't say anything to me now he is asking me out. "I don't know how long I'm in town for." I said.
"Oh alright well shall we go inside?" John said turning towards the arena. "Your coming in?" I asked. "Yeah, I have some things I have to do." John said walking to the front entrance.
As I walked in I realised I had no way of meeting my dad here how would I get backstage to see him, I looked around there were posters advertising WWE and it had pictures of wrestlers all around I went up to the posters and looked at the wrestlers.
"Are you coming?" John came up behind me and asked. I looked at the poster and then looked at John, realising who he was. "Why didn't you tell me you were a wrestler." I asked curious. "It never came up, is it that important?" he questioned
"I guess not, well I'd love to stay and chat but I have to find a way to find my dad." I said hoping he would take a hint. "How hard can it be just walk around and look for him?" John said.
"Now that would be easy but you see I have no idea what he looks like." I said turning back to the poster. "He could be any one of these guys." I said pointing to the poster.
"Your dad's a wrestler. Well why didn't you say so I can get you in with me." John said holding up a backstage pass. "Really, wow thanks." I said, knowing that's what'd he'd say all along.
As we walked towards the back I started to feel my butterfly's return but now they weren't little peaceful butterfly's they were flying around full force making me even more nervous.
I must have seemed nervous because John looked at me before we went in and said. "Are you alright?" "Yeah I'm fine just nervous." I said "Why he's your Dad not a monster with 5 heads. It's not like you've never met before." John said showing his pass to the security guard at the door. "Yeah I guess your right." I said lying through my teeth.
I don't know why I didn't tell John that I hadn't met him before it just didn't seem like the right thing to do. I followed John staying right by his side as we walked down the hallway I saw a few wrestlers from the poster, but I couldn't stare at them for more than a few seconds knowing that anyone of them could be my dad.
"Well here you go this is the cafeteria, can I meet you back here later I'm sure you'll be able to find your dad now." John said "Yeah okay I'll meet you back here in an hour." I said. "Cya." John said walking away.
How hard could it be to find my dad now, I walked into the cafeteria it was packed with wrestlers. Maybe it won't be so easy.
I walked in more and saw a few women sitting at a table I walked over to them with as much confidence as possible. "Hi, my names Faith I was wondering if one of you could tell me where I would find Mark Calloway?" I asked praying that they were nice enough to give me a general direction.
"Hi Faith, my names Torrie." One of them said standing up. "This is Nidia and Dawn Marie." She said pointing to the other 2 girls. "Hi." I said to the other two. They both smiled and gave me a little wave. "So you're looking for Mark huh?" Torrie said. "Yeah, is he hard to find." I asked. One of the other girls I think her name was Dawn Marie giggled. "What?" I asked. "Nothing, it's just even in stampede you couldn't miss Mark." Torrie said "Oh ok, so have you seen him?" I asked wondering what he could possibly look like.
"Yeah, actually he's in the ring right now. I'll take you if you want." Torrie answered. "That would be great." I said.
We said goodbye to Daw Marie and Nidia and walked towards the ring. "So, how do you know Mark?" Torrie asked. "Um, I'm his daughter." I told Torrie. "Really, Mark has a daughter. Fancy that." Torrie said as we turned a corner. "So if he's your Dad how can you not know what he looks like."
"Well you see this is the first time we are actually going to meet." I said, I don't know why but I felt like I could trust Torrie, like she was already my friend.
"Oh My God, how sweet, this is so sweet and I'm going to witness it." Torrie said. "You make it sound like a soap-opera." I said. "Well that's how it seems." Torrie said. "Alright are you ready to see your father?" Torrie asked
"Well if I'm not ready after 20 years of waiting to meet him then I guess I'll never be ready. Lets go." I said.
Torrie pulled back a curtain and we walked down a ramp I looked up at the ring and smiled I didn't need Torrie to point him out to me I felt it when I looked at him.
"Hey Mark!" Torrie called out. "Someone's her to see you." I felt a tidal wave of nerves come over me as I watched him come out of the ring and walk towards me.
"Hey, and who would you be?" he asked me. I had no idea what to say. I felt Torrie nudge me then she said. "Go on Faith tell him who you are."
"Faith?" Mark said the smile that was on his face disappeared and he straightened up and looked at me like I was a ghost.
Torrie looked from em to Mark and then I heard her say.
"Mark this is your daughter."
