CHAPTER FIVE

Never Can Turn Back

January 29, 2007...

Darien had arrived in Cameron North Carolina. She decided to quit wrestling for now. She pulled up into the driveway of her father's house. She got out of the car and walked up the stairs. She knocked on the door.

Her father came out and saw Darien. "Darien."

"Dad..."

"You've come home."

"I've come home because Uncle Shawn pushed me onto the flight himself in order not to get into trouble with you. What the hell is your deal dad? I was happy with what I was doing."

"You know what..."

"What?"

"You always seem to hate me every time I try to do something right for you. You are my daughter and will not be in the ring again. I don't care what you say you are going back to college again."

Tears came to Darien's eyes. "For the last twelve years dad I have been away from Cameron North Carolina. Don't you think that it might be fair enough for you to let me live my own life and not having to follow your orders."

"I want you to be happy Darien."

"If you really want me to be happy you could let me be in the ring where I belong. You said so yourself that I was like Uncle Shawn. There is no changing that dad. I am always going to be like Uncle Shawn."

"Well there is no reason for you to be there."

"But dad I have graduated college with a degree and I want to be a diva."

"You want to be a slut. Go on a head and screw everyone then. I don't know you. Leave!"

She walked away. "Oh yeah dad. I wanted to tell you that I was making a lot of money. Thanks a lot for not supporting me." She said getting into her car. She drove to the air port. Once at the airport she dialed Matt's phone number. She drummed her fingers on the steering wheel. "Come on Matt pick up."

"Hello?"

"Matt."

"Darien what is wrong?"

"Can you come and get me at the air port. I will be getting onto a flight for San Antonio, Texas."

"Sure I will come and get you. What is wrong though?"

"I'll tell you when I get there."

"Alright. I will see you in three hours then."

"Thank you Matt."

"Bye."

"Bye." Darien hung up her phone and gathered her things she got onto the flight and was off to San Antonio Texas.

Three Hours Later...

Darien got off of the plane and saw Matt waiting for her. She started running towards him. She flung herself into his open arms crying hard.

"Darien what happened?"

"I can never return to Cameron."

"Why?"

"My dad told me to do what I want. I wanted to be a diva and then he said go ahead and be a slut. Screw everyone in the business and all of that."

Matt held onto her tightly. "I will never let him say that to you again."

"Matt. You're hurting me."

Matt loosened his grip on her. "Sorry."

She smiled. "Don't worry about what my dad said."

"Well he shouldn't have called you a slut. Hey that is only a few divas. He got the rep of the bad ones. You will be one of the good ones." He said softly.

"Thank you Matt."

"Come on let's get you to the hotel."

She nodded her head. "Ok."

The two of them went to his rental car.

Matt looked at her. "You know what. You've changed."

"How so?"

"Well if I remember correctly you wouldn't wear what you are wearing right now."

She chuckled. "Well.. The gym does wonders Matt. You know that." she said softly looking down at her hands trying not to really look at him.

"So you are doing well?"

"Yes. Other than what my father said yeah."

Matt smiled. "It is good to see you after all this time."

"Hey at least it wasn't like last week. I really didn't really want to make your shirt as wet as it was."

"Hey don't worry about it. I was really glad to help you out. I want to help you out."

"I know."

"Are you really wanting to do this?"

"Do what?"

"Be a diva. You know that there is no turning back now."

"Yeah I know that there is no turning back. I want to be a diva and that is what I really want."

"Do you want to be part of DX?"

"I am not sure now. I really don't want to leave my Uncle Shawn all on his own."

"Well it is all up to you Darien. I am not going to tell you which path you should go with. It is all up to you. I mean if you want to help Shawn you can. If you want to do your own thing I will be fine with it as well. Don't worry about what you really think though. Just think it through ok."

"I know Matt. I am glad that you are behind me on everything."

Matt smiled. He put his hand on her arm. "Besides. What have you been up to since you left Cameron."

"Working hard on wrestling and finished college here."

"Wow you must really love it here then."

"Not really. I missed home a lot and I missed you guys."

"Of course you can miss everyone that you grew up with I wouldn't worry about it though. You know you are good at what you do. I saw you in the match a couple of weeks ago. Wow you know how to kick ass. I never thought that would happen."

"Well, Uncle Shawn taught me well. So there was no way in hell I was going to let that go to a waste. I mean I am good at fighting and that's what I want to do."

Matt chuckled. "Well then I know you made the right choice. I know this is where you belong."

She smiled. "Are you sure about that one."

"You just be careful ok. You are a beautiful girl."

She chuckled. "I am a strong beautiful girl. I know that Matt."

"Well, what are you going to be doing?"

"Well what do you think that I was going to do?"

"Well what are you planning on doing?"

"I am not really sure what I want to do... I am not sure if I want to deal with Edge and Orton."

"What did they do?"

"They held me against my will, but Jeff was there to save me. I was glad that he was there. I never thought that he would save me."

"Well..." He said pulling into the parking lot. "You know that you have someone there for you if you got any problems you don't always have to come back to Jeff for help."

"I know now I can go to you to get help."

"Yes. You know that you belong to the WWE the way you sound."

She laughed. "That is true."

They got out of the car.

"So are you willing to stay with me?"

"Of course. Since there isn't another room."

"That's what you want to do."

"Yeah. Let's just go to your room."

Matt nodded his head.

She got her duffle bag out. "Alright lead the way Matt."

Matt took her by the hand and lead her to the room. "Here we are."

They went inside of the room.

"So are you going to be ready for Raw?"

"Yeah. I got a question for you though."

"Go ahead and ask."

"Well... What are your plans for the future?"

"Like what do you mean?"

"Like are you going to be returning to Raw."

"Yeah next week on Raw I make a full return with Jeff."

She smiled. "Alright. I will be doing one thing that you will learn on your own. I will not ruin it for you."

"Oh yeah sure tell me something that you are going to do and you won't even tell me what the hell it is."

She laughed. "Well, it is a surprise for next week on Raw. Silly." She said going into the bed room. "Oh dear."

Matt came in. "What is it?"

"There is only one bed here."

"We can share."

"Us share? I don't know about that one Matt."

"Why it's not like we haven't done it before... I mean share the same bed."

She chuckled. "Well I am not really sure about that Matt... I mean we are both older now."

"I know. Does it really bother you?"

"I can sleep on the couch."

"No I am not depriving you of your sleep. Come on Darien you know that you can trust me besides you know that I am not like other guys."

She chuckled. "Yeah I know that Matt. I am really sorry."

"About what? Is there something that you want to talk about Darien?"

She sighed and sat down on the bed. "Well... I am not sure if you want to talk about it..."

"About what?"

"Amy..."

"Dumas?"

"Yeah her. Why did she do that to you?"

"She said that I wasn't enough a man for her and she said Edge was a much better man than me."

Darien shook her head. "I am really sorry that she broke your heart Matt. She didn't deserve to do that to you. She doesn't know you like I do does she?"

"No she doesn't you understood me and supported me when I wanted to become a wrestler."

Darien chuckled. "Even when you said you weren't going to do it in high school and I asked you why you wouldn't do it in high school. AH hell Matt. Jeff was a high school wrestler... I still never understood why you went off and did that."

"Well... you know the reason Darien. Why did you join the wrestling team in high school you were the only girl on the team."

She blushed. "Well, I wanted to show my dad that I could do something that Uncle Shawn could do with no problem."

"Your mom supported you and your dad didn't."

She nodded her head. "Yeah I wish my mom could see me now. She would be happy wouldn't she?"

"Of course your mom always said follow your dreams."

"No that's what your mother said to me when I was eight. I still remember it too."

"That is a surprise. Your mom said that to you too."

"She said she would support me in what ever I wanted to do. I just wish she was here to support me now."

"You got the Hardy Boys behind you and there is no turning back for you."

"I know."

That is the end of Chapter Five. Please review and tell me what you think about it. Who should Darien be paired off with in the story. Jeff, Matt, or someone else? Will Darien understand why Matt is standing behind her all of the way? Will Jeff support Darien as well? Will Shawn Michaels get mad if he finds out that Darien is back in wrestling? Only time will tell... Please review. Peace out.
