21- All We Have

"Question, what if tomorrow never comes, and everything you said today couldn't be undone?"

Machine Gun Kelly

We spent the week training, and everytime, Phil's sudden change in attitude surprised me. I did my very best to follow the rhythm. I was getting better, I felt it, and Scott told me so. I even got a compliment from Phil. We wrestled together a lot, to prepare our future matches. For now, he is still in a feud with Colt Cabana, but that's about to change. I have my first appearance this week end. I won't have a match, just accompanying Cabana to the ring, and I'll be a bit illtraited by Punk, that's all. We were leaving on Friday morning, so we can verify every feud and match, and also train. I prepared my bag for the two days, and went to the door, waiting for the guys. They arrived together and we went to the car. Phil was driving, and I was on the backseat. I slept for like an hour I think, and we arrived thirty minutes later.

"How was the trip?" Phil laughed.

" Shut up, I'm not used to wrestle everyday, I need to adjust." I protested.

" I'm just joking, it was hard for me too at the beginning." He reassured.

Wow, this man had totally two different personalities. On one hand he was a hard working, strict, and exigent wrestler, but on the other hand, he was still the sweet, caring and protective guy I fell in love with years ago. We got out of the car and to the venue, to gt familiar with our schedules for tomorrow night. CM Punk vs Colt Cabana was the main event. Wow, I was going to debut my career in a main event. Well, for sure I wasn't in a match, but still. The show manager, I guess, came behind Scott and tapped his shoulder.

" How are you guys doing?" He said excitedly. "Happy to main event?"

" Yep, it's been a long time." Phil smiled.

" Yeah, you guys deserve it, and plus, we have the new lady to introduce, and what is better than to begin with a main event?"

He laughed and I smiled at him. I like this guy, he looks like he is really happy to do what he's doing, and like he gives great care to the wrestlers and what they want.

" So, tonight you'll only make an appearance, you won't have to fight, and probably won't have to talk, but Phil here, is really impulsive and unpredictable. "He half sighed, half chuckled. "I guess that's what make him a great heel. So you might need to improvise, but everything will go smoothly, don't worry, and Scott will be here if you need it."

I nodded at him, and then he left, so we could go and wrestle a bit. I met up with other wrestlers, and some women, but no one really talked to me. Well, I'm the newbie, I guess they're kind of afraid I could replace them. I wrestled one last time with Phil, so I could revise a lot of the moves he could do, and then he prepared his match with Scott. I watched them, and tried to act in consequence, like I was supposed to do tonight. I noticed a girl across the room that was paying real attention to one of the guys, and I could have sworn it was Phil, even though they were moving around a lot. They decided to finish once they were covered in sweat, and we all went to take a shower. At round 7 p.m, we left the arena, and went to our hotel. We ate there, and took a good night of sleep. I woke early the next morning, since I was too excited about my first ever appearance live on TV, doing what I love. I quickly sent a text to Michael, to tell him I was on live TV. He already knew I was going to debut soon, but didn't really know when. I preferred to send the message a lot earlier than the match, because of time zones, and not exactly knowing what time it is in Australia. I got up, took a shower and got dressed up. I then went to knock on the guys' door, on the other side of the hallway. A half asleep and shirtless Phil opened the door.
