"Katie. Earth to Katie!" I heard my best friend, Chanel Shaw, say.

I snapped back to reality after thinking about my dream. I want to become a WWE Diva. Partly because it looked like so much fun but also because it would get me far away from here. Away from this drama and this nightmare. "Yeah?" I asked her.

"Did you hear anything I just said?"

"No." I said.

"I said that I need you to come to my house. My parents have a surprise for us." she said.

"They have a surprise for me?" I asked.

"And me." she said.

"Okay." I said. It was weird but her parents were like that. They would get me random things at random times because they loved me. Chanel was like my sister and we would spend every day together. Her parents treated me like thier daughter and eventually I felt like they were my second parents.

We pulled into her driveway and walked inside. My parents were also sitting there and they had smiles on their faces. (Okay just to recap a little bit, Chanel and I graduated high school a few days ago.) Chanel and I sat down across from them and we were kind of worried. What did they have up their sleeves?

"Okay so we all put our heads together and decided that you two would have so much fun if you went on a little road trip together. So we put our money together and we got you both two front row tickets and backstage passes to Monday Night Raw that is playing in New York City. Now, you two need to decide whether you are going to drive or fly. If you fly you'll have more time do things you want to do but if you drive you will get to see so many things. It's up to you. We have enough money put aside so that you can have a hotel room, food and drinks, shopping money. You name it. We need to know your decision now because either way you leave tonight." Chanel's mom said.

Chanel and I looked at each other and smile. "Fly." We both said at the same time.

"Oh my god we have to pack. I need to go home a pack." I said.

"So do I." she said.

"It's already done for you. We knew you both would want this so we packed for you before we even said anything. Don't worry. Us mom's packed for you. Not dads." my mom said.

Thank god. If my dad had packed for me I'd be spending my time looking like a grandma. "So what do we just leave now?" I asked.

"Yeah. Well actually we all do. We're driving you to the airport." Chanel's mom, Michelle, said.

"Okay when do we come back?" Chanel asked.

"Friday." she said.

"Really? We're staying for a week?" I asked. I was actually excited about this. A week away from this town, from this drama, from this stress? I'll take it.

We walked out the door and hopped in the car driving to the airport. Here in Beatrice, Nebraska there are no airports so we have to go clear to Lincoln or Omaha to fly out. i was okay with it though.

Our parents ended up driving to Omaha because they had a bigger airport and better service. They wanted the best for us.

Once we were boarded on the plane Chanel and I let out laughs and excitement. This was going to be the best trip ever!

"So who do you really want to meet when we get to Raw?" Chanel asked.

"That should be obvious. Even though their not together anymore, I want to meet the Shield members, the Bella Twins, Natalya, Naomi, the Usos. That's about it. Oh and Dolph Ziggler. What about you?" I asked.

"Pretty much the same." she said.

"This is awesome. I can't believe our parents did this." I said.

"I know. It's amazing. We should be there really early in the morning." she paused. "Do you think we should get the hotel that they are staying at?"

"Chanel let's be realistic here. We don't know what hotel they're staying at." I said.

"But we have ways of finding out." she said.

"How? Go to every hotel and say we're family of superstars?"

"Exactly." she said.

I laughed. "You're weird."

A few hours later we arrived in New York City. We got a cab and let them know that we needed to go to the same hotel that the superstars and divas were staying at and he knew exactly where to go. This was amazing.

All of a sudden my nerves were going crazy. I felt like my stomach was going to fall out of me at any second.

When we pulled up to the hotel we got out and thanked the driver by tipping him twice the fair. He was very thankful to us.

I tooka deep breath looking at the hotel and we started walking through the doors. We got a room and went up to it. We found out, by eavesdropping, that the WWE was going to be here the whole week. Awesome!

When we walked through the door of our hotel room we were amazed. This was amazing. There was two separate rooms, a living room, kitchen and a bathroom. It was like our own little apartment. Chanel and I screamed and got really excited. When we got here it was eight o'clock in the morning and we were ready for our day.

"So what do you want to do first?" I asked.

"Let's go get breakfast." she said.

"Alright. Then what?"

"I don't know. We'll think of something."

We walked out of the hotel room, down to the main lobby and to the breakfast area. We saw so many people there. We grabbed coffee and a bagel and sat down at one of the tables in the back so we could see everybody that came and went. There were some WWE superstars and divas but nobody that we wanted to see.

"This blows. All the good people still aren't here." I said.

"Maybe we should go site seeing now. I don't want to be here forever like idiots." Chanel said.

"Okay. Let's go." I said. We walked out through the main lobby and started out the front door when I bumped into somebody and fell on my butt. I looked up and the first thing I saw was a Samoan tribal tattoo on an arm that was extended down for me. I took it and the arm helped me up. I finally looked at the face and there, standing in front of me, was Roman Reigns. "I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention."

"Don't worry about it." he said.
