Chapter Seventeen

After the show Jessica said goodbye to Eddie and Chavo. She'd spent most of her time with them that night and she'd had a blast. Randy came to get her and they left.

"So, now you've seen what I or rather Dave and I do, do you think you'll start watching the shows?"

"Uhhh, well it was an experience. I'll watch for you and Eddie. He's an awesome guy." Jesse laughed. "He let me ride in his low rider."

"Eddie, wonderful." Randy laughed. "Well, at least you're gonna watch for me and him. Did Dave say anything to you?"

Jesse sighed. "No, we had the fight and that was the last thing said between us. He didn't feel like talking to me after that. I guess he knows how mad I am at him."

"Well, I'll see what I can do. We're leaving tomorrow and I'd hate for us to leave without him sorting this out."

Jessica's eyes welled up. "I forgot you were leaving tomorrow."

"Babe, don't cry. I'll keep in touch with you, and come visit whenever I possibly can."

"You promise?"

"Jessica, I promise you with all my heart that I will call you whenever I have the spare time."

Jessica nodded as Randy pulled into the driveway. He opened her door and walked her to the front door.

"Well, I'll call you before I leave." He said.

"Ok, thanks for tonight."

Randy smiled and leaned into her, pressing his lips softy against hers. They shared a long kiss and then Jessica went inside. She watched out of her bedroom window as Randy drove away, and his car was out of sight. Jessica looked around her room. The whole house was silent, everyone was sleeping. She put her purse down and sat on the bed. As she sat down something fell out of her purse and hit the floor. She frowned and picked it up. It looked like a hand-written letter, she thought it was from Randy, so she opened it with a smile.

Dear Jesse-bell,
I know how much you hate me right now and I don't blame you at all. It's been hard for me to understand why I left you when I did and why I didn't come back like I said I would. There isn't anything I can say that I know will make you feel better about, or even stop hating me as much as you do right now. I can however give you some insight at what went through my mind when I left, and what happened leading up to when you saw me, at that bar three nights ago. If you stop reading now, I'll fully understand. I wouldn't blame you at all, but if you want some closure, then please keep reading.

Jessica thought about stopping. But something told her to keep reading.

That night I left, I was stupid. I'd gone through nights and nights of listening to mom being treated bad. I couldn't handle it anymore but I knew I had to stay for you. It all became too much and I just decided to leave. See, I'd read about some wrestling tryouts down in Kentucky and I was interested. They offered so much and I thought if I just tried - out and made it big I'd be able to come back and get you and mom and the others out of the mess at home. I got to Ky and did my tryout. They were really please so they sent me to a place called OVW. It's a training camp for wrestling. I went there and got so wrapped into training. But everyday you were on my mind. I never once forgot about you, that made me work even harder. Then about a four years after that I hit the big time. I got to the WWE. Work was harder and the schedule was murder, but I promise you Jessica, I never stopped thinking about you. I just got so caught up in my work I didn't know weather I was coming or going. It sounds like a poor excuse, but I want to fix it. Please if you've been reading this, I want to meet you tomorrow. Before I leave. I need to talk to you and leave on good terms. If you'd like to meet me, come to our hotel, at 10am tomorrow morning. I'll be waiting until 11am.
Love David.
xoxoxo

Jessica felt her tears. She knew she had to go and meet him tomorrow. She put the letter down and got undressed before climbing into bed. She needed a good nights sleep if she was meeting Dave tomorrow morning.
