I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tuesday- Caylee's Point of View-
I got up late because I pushed snooze too many times, I rushed out the house barely seeing my mom.
"3 isn't it?" My mom asked before I flew out of the door.
"Yeah, 3. Mom I really need to talk to you before the interview."
"Can't it wait until you get home and before the interview?" My mom asked.
"Why?"
"I don't want you to be late to school."
"Fine, but when I get home, we need to talk." I said as I started going out the door again.
"Christina Lee Howard!"
"What!" I said going back in.
"Your backpack, you can't go to school without your backpack."
"Oh yeah." I said running back to my room grabbing my backpack and ran back out. "Bye mom." I said as I sped to my school, I parked my car right when the warning bell rung. I grabbed my backpack and ran to the my first period, I stepped into my first period right when the bell rang. I spent the whole day worrying about how my mom is going to react to this whole wrestling thing, I was texting Greg on and off trying to express my worries with him and he totally understood it. I was in my sixth period, half way through the class I started getting more and more nervous as the time got closer to my interview. When that bell rung, I grabbed my stuff and sped walk out to my car, I didn't bother going to my locker to get my homework, I could just come back up here tonight and get it or don't do any of it. I threw my backpack in the passenger seat as I climbed into the drivers seat starting my car. I was the first person out of the parking lot of my school, I wanted to be home before Vince got there so I could tell my mom. I parallel parked my car, I saw my mom's car still there and no other odd cars near by, I climbed out pulling my backpack out with me, I locked my car and I walked up to my front door. "Deep breath." I said as I took a deep breath, I opened the door walking in to see my mom sitting on the couch reading a book.
"Your home this soon?"
"Yeah, we have that meeting today at 3, remember?" I said as I noticed she was still in her pajamas, I set my backpack next to the door shutting it.
"That's today, I should go get dressed." My mom said as she shut her book and went back to her room. I went into the kitchen making my mom some tea and pouring myself some lemonade, my mom came out dressed in one of her works outfits. "I figured get dressed for work so after the meeting I can go straight to work." My mom said as she buttoned the last button.
"I thought you didn't have to work?"
"I don't, but it's professional looking." My mom.
"I think I should tell you for what this meeting is for, I think it is now or never."
"Are you ready to tell me or do you want me to find out when they arrive?" My mom asked as I handed her the tea I made her.
"I think you should hear it from me, mom I have trained and want to be a…." I said as the doorbell rung before I could say wrestler.
"Do you want to finish that before I go answer the door?"
"A wrestler." I mumbled to where my mom couldn't hear or understand it, I walked over answering the door instead of my mom.
"Hi, I'm looking for a Christina Lee Howard." Vince said.
"Your in the right place, I'm Christina." I said opening the screen door for him and his son Shane I'm assuming.
"This is a nice home you have here." Shane said as I shut the door.
"Thank you, I'm Christina's mom." My mom said as she extended her hand shaking Vince's and Shane's hand.
"Aw, Ms. Howard, nice to meet you. I'm Vince McMahan and this is my son Shane." Vince said, why did you say McMahan?
"As in WWE McMahan?" My mom asked.
"Yep, Christina didn't tell you?" Vince said, I covered my face with my hand.
"No she didn't, can you give us a moment? Do you want anything to drink or eat while you wait?" My mom said as she pulled out the seats at the dining room table.
"No thanks, we're fine." Shane said as they set their paperwork and folders on the table, my mom grabbed me by my arm and dragged me back to her room.
"What is wrong with you Christina Lee?!?!?!" My mom yelled in a loud but quiet manner.
"I was trying to tell you that I went through the wrestling training, I applied to WWE and they want me to come work for them the day after I graduate, but since I'm not 18 I can't do it with a parent's consent."
"No, I'm not going to let my daughter wrestle."
"Why not mom? It's my life I should be able to do whatever I set my mind to and want to do."
"Yeah it's your life, but I worry about you, I don't want my daughter getting hurt." My mom said as she paced back and forth.
"I'm trained, I know how NOT to get hurt."
"I don't care, I'm not letting my daughter wrestle."
"Can you at least have an open mind and listen to what they have to say? If you still don't like it after this meeting, they are giving me until the day after my graduation, all you got to do is sign the consent form, I'll be able to help you with bills because I'll be bringing in big money and I'll be independent." I said.
"I'll have an open mind and listen, but I'm still going to say no to it." My mom said as she opened the door and we walked back out to the dining room where the two men were sitting and looking over the paperwork.
"Sorry about that." I said as I sat down across from Shane.
"No problem." Vince said as he reconfirmed all the information they had about me, like my name (they added Guerrero to it), address, age, graduation date, and my wrestling training.
"Do you have the certificate of completion?" Shane asked.
"It's in my room." I said as I got up and went and pulled it out of hiding, I brought it back to the table handing it over to them.
"That's a good facility, you must be trained very well." Vince said as he wrote down information from the certificate. They went over all the pre-cautions they take at every show, the benefits of being a wrestler (like health care, free merchandise/show tickets, free plane tickets but I had to book the hotel, etc.) and they went into detail about their work schedules and their pay.
"Is this something your interested in?" Shane asked.
"I am interested very." I said.
"I can't take this, I'm sure it's a great job, but I can't have my daughter wrestling, I'm sorry Vince and Shane, but I have to ask you to leave." My mom said standing up.
"Mom, this is my dream though." I said, Shane and Vince stood up collecting their papers, of course we got to keep some papers they gave us, my mom pushed them out the door.
"I'm sorry Christina, I am not going to have you wrestling." My mom said.
"Whatever." I said as I ran out after them, I caught up to them in the driveway, "Wait!" I said, they turned around to face me. "I'm sorry about my mom, I didn't tell her about this whole wrestling thing, she isn't really for wrestling, if you just give me time to talk it over with her and get her to think otherwise. I would REALLY love to pursue this career with you guys, I don't want to try TNA." I said knowing that if I said anything about TNA, they would want me and not want their competition having the talent.
"Here is a consent form your mom needs to sign, actually here is extra copies just in case she rips them up." Shane said handing me a handful of papers.
"Thank you so much for this opportunity and I'm sorry about the way my mom is acting."
"What about your dad? I mean, is he cool with it?" Vince asked.
"I've never met my dad, he left when my mom was pregnant with me." I said.
"We'll be back for your graduation day to see if your mom signed those papers, in hopes she does." Shane said.
"I hope so." I said.
"You want to come by the show tonight so we can give you a tour of the set and how things work?" Vince asked.
"Sure, what time?" I asked.
"5, we'll meet you in the back, there will be a security guard blocking the door and just tell them your name, and he'll let you in." Shane said.
"Howard-Guerrero or just Howard?"
"Howard-Guerrero." Vince said as my mom walked out.
"Christina Lee get your butt back inside, your not going to waste your time with them anymore. I have the night off, so don't think about leaving this house." My mom yelled.
"I'll be there in a minute." I yelled.
"Are you still going to come?" Shane asked.
"Yes, can I bring a friend and it might be a little later on, maybe about 8 or 9."
"Perfect, we'll be taping then so you'll see the production side of things." Vince said as I shook their hands and ran back inside.
"I can't believe you, you signed up for wrestling school, went through it, made a demo reel of your wrestling, applied to WWE, and actually thought I was going to let you do it." My mom said as she paced back and forth behind me.
"Mom, if you don't sign this paper, their going to wait until I turn 18 to get me and you can't stop me from wrestling. I can get into the Indy wrestling scene, I already am a member of one of them and I can join more." I said crossing my arms.
"I'm very upset with you right now, your wrestling, you know how I feel about wrestling, I can't believe you will do this to your mother after everything I gave you."
"Mom, it's something that I have to do and something I love to do. Why can't I do something that I want to do instead of what you want me to do? I'm not brain smart mom, I'm barely making C-'s in my classes, I'm not going anywhere far in school." I said.
"You know, your grounded, go to your room."
"But mom…"
"No 'But mom's', just go." My mom said as I got up and went to my room, I pulled out my cell phone, I'm going tonight even if my mom agrees with it or not.
