Author's Note: I just needed to clarify that I know the direction that I want Daphne to go at. There might be people that might get rubbed the wrong way about her bitchy, prick of a character, but she was always like this in the series, but she was just amplified even more in this story. You need to take under consideration that Daphne is mentally and spiritually ill and that she will have her moments, where she does come off as a huge bitch, but she never intends to come off that way. In this chapter, you will see her get some treatment and also get a little more character development with her and you will find out what her psychiatrist says about her character and what is actually Daphne in real life. It will take more than one appointment for her to get better, but you will see little progress with her. As for her attitude of how she wants it all and is never happy with the opportunities in storylines, well that will be explained later in the story, but I felt like I needed to say something like that, but I know exactly what I am doing with this story and I do plan to make Daphne less bitchy as the story goes on. Everything that I explained up here will be explained within the story. Thank you all for the love for this story and I hope that you enjoy this chapter! :)

"So Daphne," Daphne's psychiatrist, Jaime, a woman, who was a little older than her, with brunette hair, brown eyes and fair skin. She was quite tall—taller than Daphne, but she was used to being the short one out of two people. Today was Daphne's appointment, with the psychiatrist and she was shaking. She was not sure that she had gotten herself into, but today was the day for revaluation and to finally recover from her injuries. In the morning, she had an appointment with a doctor to check on her head injuries. It turned out that the two months of not wrestling had made a difference with her head injuries and that she will be ready to wrestle at Hell in a Cell and go on to wrestle April for the Divas Championship, "Tell me about yourself, your background, family, friends and all of that stuff." she began the session as Daphne in one of those long seats that people lied on in their sessions.
"Well," Daphne wondered, where she was going to begin the story of her life, "I'm Daphne Anne Consuelos. I am a Sagittarius. I was born on December 19, 1990—I'm a ninety's kid—yay! I was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and grew up at Ajax with my mom, Jocelyn, my dad Thomas. I was an only child, but I had a lot of cousin's growing up, which kind of removed the feeling because my mom was traveling in business with my uncle David. I was the closest with my cousin, Connie, who is a sweetheart and very humble, even though she was just born, when I was six years old. I was a tomboy as a child. I played sports like baseball—not softball—baseball, hockey, flag football, until I was not allowed to play with the guys because I was a girl. In 2001, I remembered that my dad ordered WWF No Way Out on pay-per-view. It was the first time that I laid my eyes on wrestling. I was hooked on it from the first time. I was extremely mind blown when I saw girls like me wrestling. Stephanie McMahon versus Trish Stratus was the Divas match I first saw. My dad informed me that Trish was a fellow Canadian like me and I wanted to be like her one day. I wanted to be a history maker, Hall of Famer. I wanted to be like her. Then, Mickie James came into the picture and I had second thoughts about being exactly like her," Daphne chuckled, "I knew from that age that I wanted to become a wrestler. My dad was cool about it, but my mom was not."
"Why wasn't your mother okay with you going the wrestling route? This was a profession that you wanted to do from a young age?" Jamie asked her as she began to write down some of the key points that Daphne talked about as the Ultimate Diva watched her write down those some things, but not knowing about what.
"My mom really thought that when she had me, that I was going to be her little princess and do all of these girly things. Hell, she even made me do ballet for nine years, but this was something that I did not want to pursue for a career. My mind always came back to wrestling, while my mom tried to push me away from that world. She had seen a little bit of the matches, where blood would be dripping down the wrestlers and hell, she heard about Owen Hart falling to his death and did not want what occurred to him to occur with me. Still, my sights were on wrestling; especially, when I met my boyfriend. We met at an Indy show and we just connected." Daphne smiled as she thought about her first meeting with Colby.
"Tell me about your boyfriend? Are the two of you still together?" Jamie questioned her as she wrote down other key points that she will have to look at later to see if anything was wrong with Daphne.
"My boyfriend's name is Colby Lopez and I met him when I was fifteen years old. My mother had been traveling in business with my uncle, my cousin, who was I was really close with at the time moved to Texas, so she can start her career as a singer and I felt alone. I had been dating my former boyfriend for about a year and he was a wrestler himself. He invited me to a show in Detroit and while he was getting ready, I met Colby, who was nineteen at the time and meeting him was different from my meeting with Isaac. He was a little bit shy around me, but by the end of our conversation, we were laughing and feeling like old friends," her smile turned into a frown, knowing that occurred after meeting Colby, "Isaac was not as understanding with my friendship with Colby and the jealousy grew the next couple months. He turned into a monster…" Daphne paused, not knowing if she wanted to continue opening up about this. Jamie looked at her with concern, but she felt like she was getting somewhere with Daphne.
"How was Isaac a monster?" Jamie asked, not knowing if Daphne was going to respond to her.
"He was possessive of me. He did not like me talking to any other guys by him. He had to feel like the alpha male in the relationship and for the next year, he showed no signs of abuse, but when I turned seventeen," Daphne tried to fight back the tears, but there was no use—tears were already pouring down her cheeks, "He started to abuse me and calling me a "bitch" and accusing me that I was cheating on him, when he never even left me out of his sight. One summer, I thought that Isaac was back to his nice and caring ways, so I trusted him enough to go to Detroit to go to one of the wrestling shows that he was booked in. In the parking lot, he wanted to have sex with me there, but I did not want to, but he kept forcing me, but when I declined for a second time, he went on to beat me up," she began to cry, "He kicked, shoved me, slapped me. He made me feel weak and powerless. Isaac spat on and punched my face. After he was done, I was a broken mess, my nose was broken, I almost cracked my head open, I was bleeding internally! This was when I went to Colby as he promised that he would always protect me and that is what he has done to this very day and I love him for it. I felt like shit because Isaac not only did that with me, but with one of my cousins and I did not believe her."
"Daphne, why made you not to believe her, the minute that she told you? What made you turn the other cheek and ignore what happened with her?" Jamie asked as Daphne tried to wipe the tears away from her eyes.
"I am not close with my cousin like I once was because when I look into her eyes, all I feel like is shit. I feel like shit for not believing in her; for abandoning her and for admitting that one secret that made me feel like shit for not believing in in front of all of her colleagues. I hate myself for the way that I treated her, which is a reason that I am not close with her. I feel like I do not deserve to be respected or loved or even acknowledged. I do not deserve to be forgiven in this world. I feel like being myself hurts people." Daphne responded, sounding angry, talking about Connie, but trying not to give away her name, even though she was brought up in the beginning of the appointment.
"Is that why you are so involved with your wrestling career? Do you see it as an escape from your actual world? Is that why you feel like you need to portray a persona? So, you don't hurt people unintentionally?" Jamie asked as Daphne opened her eyes to what her psychiatrist was asking her. Those questions actually made her think about things that have never been thought about before.
"I feel like I only know how to become a character, not an actual human being," Daphne thought about what she said; she sat up straight and continued to think about it, "I only know how to become my own character or impersonate someone else. Oh my God," she whispered to herself, "Jamie, I think you are getting somewhere with me."
Daphne was speechless—she actually had her eyes wide open for the first time in ten years. Everything was beginning to look clearer than she could possibly imagine. What she believed to be Daphne Consuelos could actually have been a character that she had built to escape her reality and avoid the personal problems that she has been living in. In the scripts, Daphne Anne never had a problem. She was confident, bold and knew what she wanted, but who in the blue hell was Daphne Consuelos?
Perhaps, she can find out.
"Holy crap, Eva what have you done with yourself?" Daphne questioned as her blue eyes went directly to Eva's chest. She did not know if Eva was wearing a new pushup bra, she had gotten implants or it had been so long since she seen her protégé that she will have to get used to seeing Eva again. After Daphne's appointment with Jamie, she had gotten a text that Eva had flown over from California to Chicago to go talk to her. The last thing that she wanted as for Eva to convince her to resign her contract, but from what Daphne saw from the smile from the redhead, all Eva could want was to talk to her about life.
"I got myself a boob job," Eva said as she invited herself into Phil's home as Daphne closed the door, when she got in. As of right now, Daphne was the only person at home because Phil was downtown visiting an old friend and the Canadian did not want to get into the way with that, "I am recovering from it, so I would recommend that you do not squeeze me at all or I'll pop; but, I do not want to talk about me. I want to talk about you about what has been up with you since the night of SummerSlam?" she asked as she took a seat on Phil's black couch. Daphne hopped over and took a seat next to Eva.
"Well, I stayed with my cousin for about a week and watched her do her thing. It was refreshing and something that I felt in my heart that I needed to do. Then, Phil found me and I've been staying with him ever since. He really has been giving me a reality check and showing me that professional wrestling should not be the only thing in my life. Then, I returned at Chicago and attacked April—not in the script, got into hot water with Vince, Phil made April save my ass, but she was still pissed at me. I invited people to Thanksgiving in Canada and Phil and Colby almost got into an altercation about me—"Daphne was interjected by a gasp from Eva.
"Damn! You had two guys fighting over you. Seriously, you are so lucky—"
Daphne groaned; Eva was not understanding that the altercation between Colby and Phil was not mature and professional, "Why would I be lucky, Eva? Phil is a married man and Colby is with me. Colby is an important person in my life and I would never leave him. He has been loyal to me ever since the first day that he met me. Phil and Colby have two different agendas for me. Colby wants me back in the WWE to fight for the Divas Championship and for a better Division, while Phil does not want me to suffer more than I did, when I was in the WWE. I love that they care about me, but it is my decision in the end of the day."
"Daphne, you have to do what your heart tells you to do. Don't let these guys influence you to make a decision. I felt like you have been taking so much crap the last several months and you need a happy ending. I feel like you trying to be someone that you're not is going to lead you to that happy ending. When you pulled a Punk at SummerSlam, I was disappointed at you. You told me during our little conversation that you did not want to be Punk that you wanted to be Daphne Anne. What happened there? All I saw was CM Punk and not Daphne Anne." Eva explained as Daphne was impressed that she said something a little on the smarter range.
"With the WWE Universe, you want to catch their eye. When you're at a movie theater and watch a movie, there is that one line in the movie that makes everyone laugh and remember it. What I was doing at SummerSlam was saying something that will trigger in the minds of the WWE Universe, I said a bunch of Punk things, but only because I wanted everyone's attention. I knew that if I used my own words that no one will give a shit about what I said. No one pays attention to the Divas, but they will pay attention to CM Punk. Just to clarify: I do not want to be another CM Punk. I want to be Daphne Anne and I am not going on the Punk route. I am going at my direction, not Colby's and obviously, not Phil's." Daphne explained as Eva nodded and had a black couch pillow to her lap.
"You better be going at your direction. You better beat Saraya, get April at that Cell and become the new Divas Champion!" Eva pumped Daphne up. There was no telling that she was one of the biggest Daphne Anne cheerleaders in the locker room and wanted her friend to succeed, "I believe you can make a difference, but you won't know unless—" she paused as Daphne knew exactly what Eva was going to say next.
Daphne nodded, "Unless I resign my contract," she gave a small smile to her friend, "You know, Eva? I seem to like your direction a lot."
I felt like it's been a while since we've seen Eva in this series. Most of you probably do not like her as I am not much of a fan myself, but wasn't it nice for her to visit Daphne and tell her what she thought about Daphne for what occurred at SummerSlam? From the appointment with the psychiatrist, do you see why Daphne has the personality that she has today? Do you think that the psychiatrist is getting somewhere with Daphne? The next chapter is the Hell in a Cell chapter and I divided that by two different parts, which might leave you shocked. Also, I want to tell you that the Colt Cabana and Stone Cold podcast will be used later in the story to help progress this story. Some things are legit and other things I put in it. I hope that you guys have not backed out of this sequel because great things are going to come out of it!
Thanks for reading! Please favorite, follow and review! :)
