I pulled up to the arena and got out. I grabbed the titles and walked in. My eyes were blood shot and I'm sure I have tear streaks. I walked in and went to the authorities office they were there along with the shield. I sat the titles on the desk.
" Here's your titles back."
I said looking at the floor. I was pulled in a hug by Steph.
" We got the call a few minutes ago. "
I started to cry agian.
" He wouldn't want you crying Sia."
" I know. "
" He would want you to be strong."
" I didn't get to say goodbye to him. He was perfectly fine last week."
I said crying harder.
" Sia you should go home. You can't compete tonight. Not like this."
"I can. I just..."
She pulled away.
" Come on."
She grabbed both of the titles and gave them to me.
" I'm not allowing you to compete tonight."
" I'm not leaving."
" You don't have to. "
She opened the door and we walked out.
" Go down to catering and get you some water. Come back and you can stay here."
I walked off to catering. People would give their condolences, but when John did I lost it. John was a big fan of my grandfather and he was trained by my grandfather so I knew him for a long time. I think we stood crying for like 10 minutes until we went to catering got water and walked around.
" I see you got the titles back."
" I always had them. Mind games John."
He nodded.
"When they called you were the first person I thought about. I remember training with him and you. You two were two peas in a pod."
I smiled a little.
" How you holding up?"
" I knew that I would never take it easy when this happened, but I'm holding up a lot better then I expected. I've cried for three hours straight. "
" He would want you to smile."
"I know."
" How about the good old days. After the show we go get some snow cones and sit out on the beach in his honor?"
" That sounds like fun."
I nodded. He gave me a hug.
" Hang in there."
"You too."
He walked off.
" Sia."
I turned around and saw Dean.
" I'm sorry for your lose."
" Thank you."
"You want to do something later to keep your mind off of it?"
" I already have plans with John."
" Cena?"
" Yeah. We've been friends since I was younger. My grandfather trained him."
" Oh. Okay then maybe some other time."
" Yeah maybe."
I said walking away.
