CHAPTER NINETEEN
A Secret to Be Told
April 16, 2007...
Darien sat in the women's locker room with Mickie James. She looked at Mickie. "Mickie are you sure you are ready for this women's title match."
"I said before I wouldn't mind facing you for my women's title. If you won I would know that this title was in the right hands. You look nervous Darien is something wrong?"
"Well my Uncle Shawn wanted to tell me something."
"Oh I see. Is it bad?"
"I have no idea to tell you the truth. All I know is that he wants to tell me tonight."
"Wow talk about harsh. If you win tonight we can go out to the bar tonight if you like."
"That sounds good to me Mick."
"I knew it would sound good to you."
The two divas left for the match.
Ringside...
Mickie's theme rang through out the arena.
"This following contest is for one fall and it is for the WWE women's championship. Making her way to the ring from Richmond Virginia, she is the WWE women's champion. MICKIE JAMES!"
Mickie came out and got into the ring.
Jeff's Theme rang through out the arena.
"And the challenger from San Antonio Texas. Being accompanied by Jeff and Matt Hardy Darien Michaels!"
Darien came down to the ring with Matt and Jeff. She got into the ring. The two of them shook hands. The bell rang for the match to begin.
"Darien and Mickie are best friends and they are going at it for the women's title. I wonder what is going to happen if Darien wins the title." said Jerry.
Blow for blow the two divas continued on. They were the main event and there was no way in hell that any one was going to stop them. Mickie always ended up getting the shorter end of the stick. Darien continued to fight on showing Mickie that she was going to be a good women's champion if she was going to win the title. Darien got the roll up and the pin.
The bell rang.
Jeff's music rang throughout the arena.
"Here is your winner and new women's champion Darien Michaels!"
Darien helped Mickie up and they shook hands.
"They are shaking hands. They are friends after this as well. Wow who would have thought that two divas who have fought for the title. They are still friends in the end."
The two divas walked out together.
Backstage...
Mickie smiled. "You did a good job Darien. I knew that you would look good with that title."
Darien laughed. "Thank you Mickie."
"We will have a rematch soon right?"
"Yes."
"Thanks. We will go out tonight alright. I got to go and get a shower. I will meet you out back alright."
"Alright."
The two divas departed ways.
Darien walked down the hall to her dressing room. She opened the door and saw her uncle Shawn waiting for her. "Oh hey Uncle Shawn."
"Darien I need to talk to you about something really important."
"Alright. Can I quickly get a shower?"
"Sure."
Darien got a shower quickly and came out of the shower room with a towel on. She stood behind her uncle and got changed quickly into some clothes to be out on the town. "So what did you want to tell me Uncle Shawn."
"Darien do you wonder why your father kept you away from me while you were growing up?"
Darien rose her eye brow. "What do you mean Uncle Shawn. I remember that, but he said it wasn't fair for me to travel to see you."
"That's not the only reason Darien. Why do you think that I tried to see you."
"Well it was because you missed me of course."
"Not only that Darien..." he said looking at her.
She noticed the look in his eyes. "Uncle Shawn what is this about?"
"Dear I have tried so many times to get your father to tell you this... The person that you know as your dad isn't your dad."
"You mean... he isn't my dad? Then who is my dad?"
Shawn took a deep breath. "Well. Have you ever wondered why you look like me so much."
"Well... I was wondering why we looked so much a like."
"Well..." He ran a hand through his hair. "Well, Darien promise not to get mad."
"I won't Uncle Shawn..."
"First of all I am not your Uncle Shawn..."
Darien's eyes went wide. "What do you mean?"
"Matt Bentley is your cousin. Your dad is your uncle."
"What the heck? Then what are you?" It finally hit her. "You're my..."
"Darien I am your father."
Darien felt weak in the knees and fell to the ground. She had fainted on him.
He kneeled down next to her. "Darien please get up."
Darien opened her eyes. "Is that true. You are my father?"
"Yes Darien I wish it wasn't true though, but it is."
"Why did you hide it from me then. You could have told me so many different times."
"Dear I didn't know how to tell you that I was your father. I could never really bring myself to it."
She sighed. "Dad? Why would you do this to me. You are Christian why did you lie to me all these years." She ran out the door with the women's title on her shoulder. She met up with Mickie.
Mickie noticed that her friend was crying. "What happened Darien."
"My Uncle Shawn lied to me."
"What do you mean by that?"
"He isn't my Uncle Shawn. He is my father."
"Hmmm... no wonder you two looked alike so much. I couldn't put it together really. Wow aren't you happy?"
"Why should I be happy with a liar?"
"Darien. Did you let him finish what he was going to say to you?"
"No I ran out on him."
"Dear lets go out and go get some beers then."
Darien nodded her head.
The two of them went out to the bar. They began to drink.
"So what are you going to do?"
"I have no idea what to do."
"Darien you will find out a way to talk to your dad. I know that you need him, but you need to talk to him about this. Let him tell you the whole reason why you were living with his brother."
Darien sighed. "I have no idea how long this is going to last."
"Do the Hardys know about this?"
"No not at all."
"What about the house you grew up in?"
"I am not living there any way. I got to go and get the rest of my things. I mean the woman I thought that died who was my mother wasn't really my mother."
"Darien don't think of it like that. Think of it as a way to learn something new."
"I wish I could Mickie. I just can't trust Shawn any more."
"Promise me something when you are ready you will talk to him won't you?"
"I promise you I will talk to him."
"Thank you."

That is the end of chapter nineteen. Will Darien ever forgive Shawn Michaels for what he has told her. Will they still be able to have father and daughter relationship? Will she keep close to the Hardy boys. Who will she end up dating?
