Inside of Me
Chapter 2

"I want you to give me the chance to be in your life, to be what your mother would never let me be...a father," Kane told her. Mina stepped back, her throat tightening. His words echoed through her mind. Her red hair fell against her face, sticking to the lip gloss on her lips. She slowly stepped through the ropes, all the while keeping eye contact with Kane. Her match with Gail didn't seem to hold any priority anymore.

"Have you ever wondered why you don't look like your father?" she turned toward the steel ramp, and ran. It wasn't true! It couldn't be!

"Have you ever wondered why you have one blue eye and one green eye?" her eyes were filling with tears, and she couldn't stop them. Was it true?

"Ever wonder why you're so much taller than all of the other Divas?" she continued running, coming closer to the curtains. What if it was true? Her heart beat ferociously against her chest as she burst past the navy curtains. Suddenly she was backstage. Mina stopped suddenly, now face to face with her parents. They were both staring at her, Matt with his hands resting on Lita's shoulders. Mina shook her head, barely aware that she was trembling all over. Their look said all that needed to be said.

"Mina..." her mother tried to speak, but the look on Mina's face silenced her.

"You lied to me!" Mina shouted, her fists curling into balls. "You lied to me my entire life!"

"Mina, you don't understand!" Matt tried to protest.

"That's right, I don't understand!" she felt a salty tear run down her face. "Why? Why did you lie to me?" she whispered.

"It was for your own good," Lita whispered.

"It was for my own good," she forced a hollow laugh from her. "It was for my own good to come to the WWE, go on national television, and then find out that my parents have lied to me since I've been born?" she asked, and shook her head, taking a step back. Her eyes landed on Matt. "You told everyone not to let me know, didn't you?" she accused. When he didn't say anything, she took a step backward. "My entire life has been a fucking charade," she said, barely able to keep her voice level.

"Why does it matter that we didn't tell you?" Lita asked all of a sudden, taking a step forward. "He's a monster! We didn't want you to have to face being his child!"

"You mean you didn't want to face the fact that I am his child!" she shouted back, her eyes flaring. "And it matters because you lied to me. I can't trust my own family," her eyes fell on Matt. "I say family because you aren't my father," she told him, her tone icy. "You are the man who posed as him."

"Can't we just accept this and be a family again?" Lita asked desperately as Mina moved to go.

She turned to face her pleading mother. "You never gave him a chance," she whispered.

"...what your mother would never let me be..." Kane's words echoed in Lita's mind, and it was all she could do from lunging forward and keeping Mina with her. "You can't go to him!" she screamed.

"I do what I want, when I want!" Mina yelled back. "He's my father, and he deserves a chance. I want to give him that chance. It's not your decision," she snapped. She stepped back, and then turned, speed walking down the hallways with no destination. Her walk turned into a sprint. 'Away...I just need to get away...' tears were whipped along the side of her forehead and disappeared into her hairline from her speed. Her breath came in raspy jolts, and finally, she stopped in a deserted area of the arena, collapsing between two storage units and letting the sobs rack her body. She forced any thoughts out of her head, and just let herself cry.

A hand touched her arm, and she snapped her head up. "Are you okay?" the man in front of her asked.

"Peachy keen," she whispered sarcastically, brushing at her eyes as she studied him. He was squatting down in front of her, but she could tell he was tall; about 6'5", if she had to make a guess. His brown hair was kept short, and his eyes were a deep blue. The golden Heavyweight Championship was laid across his shoulder. Silence stretched out between them.

Randy looked down at the younger girl. He had been one of the people demanded to keep silent about what had happened between Kane and Lita. He had been leaving the arena just as the woman in front of him was in the ring. Randy had been stepping out of the door when he heard Kane's music playing.

"Mina! Mina!" Matt Hardy's voice echoed down the hallways. The redhead let her head fall back against the wall, and sighed heavily.

"I've got to get out of here," she whispered, more to herself than to anyone.

"How 'bout you room with me?" Randy wasn't sure what spurred him to offer. He sensed her hesitation. "Look, I know who you are, and apparently you're upset at your parents, and I don't blame you. If you come with me, you have the option to speak to them when you'd like," she was still tentative. "I know about what happened between Kane and Lita," he glanced down the hallway to see Matt Hardy coming closer. "It's your ball," he told Mina.

She bit down on her lip, knowing it was stupid to go off with someone she didn't know, but her overwhelming curiosity about Kane, and the fact that Matt was coming ever closer, sealed her choice.

"Let's go."
