An Unexpected Reunion

You Look Like "Him"

*Next Morning* 

 I yelled as I ran through our backyard shed as fast as my small legs could. I ran into the woods and hid in the huge cave I had discovered along the way. I heard more footsteps behind me. “I caught you Matty.” the other boy said tackling me to the ground. I giggled loudly as we rolled in the dirt. “It’s your turn to catch Glenn and I now.”  “Okay Ma- “ 

I got awaken by a shake of my body. “Matt, It’s time to get up baby. You’ll be late for work.” I nodded and groggily got up to go shower. I got my clothes on and took a quick shower to relax my thoughts.

“Why, why is it always that dream?” I whispered to myself. I got out of the shower and quickly dressed myself almost forgetting I had work. I threw on a simple T-shirt and jeans. I left my hair down not really caring much about it. I brushed through it a bit but didn’t go through the hassle of doing anything else. I headed out of the bathroom and put on my boots and a black chain necklace.

“Okay Darling I’m headed out.” I said to Liz as I headed towards the kitchen where she was. 

“You’re not going to eat first?” She asked, giving me a quick kiss.

“I don’t have time Baby; I’ll get something later.” I told her heading towards the front door.

“Promise me you’ll eat something darling, don’t starve yourself because you’re too busy trying to work.” She said seriously.

I sighed rolling my eyes at her worried state, “I’ll eat I promise.” I said looking in her eyes seriously. “Thank You.” She stated although I could see part of her didn’t believe me. I smiled sweetly to my little princess who was playing and watching cartoons on the floor. I had to force myself to remember I was doing this all for her and Liz. I want to give them the life I never had. 

“Bye Princess. I love you” I said picking her up to kiss her cheeks and forehead. 

“Bye Daddy! I love you too.” She said, although I could see she was a little sad about me leaving.

“I’ll be back in no time little one, I promise.” I told her, hugging her small body tightly in my arms. She nodded even though a small pout appeared slightly. I hopped in the car and drove to the arena I was told I would be wrestling in tomorrow tonight. 

Once I got to the arena I parked next to a purple and black Harley. I smiled and looked at it, not daring to touch it, I wouldn’t want anyone touching mine once I got it. I grabbed my bags and headed inside. I was immediately met by a hallway once I walked in, I decided to ask a few people there where I could meet Vince McMahon, every single of them stared at me confused. They looked almost afraid to answer. I sighed quietly and ventured off to find him myself. Soon enough I saw a door with a gold plaque that said, “Vince McMahon” on the front. I knocked and waited for a few moments for someone to open the door. Soon enough a woman with long brown hair and blue eyes answered. She looked scared as well, backing up from the door fear evident in her eyes. I stood there putting my hands up to show I was no threat. Then another boy answered who looked to be related to her, he almost backed away as well but looked at both my hands up. I could faintly hear him call for his dad and a man who looked like an older version of his son appeared. He only stared at me as well, confusion and reluctance were in his eyes also. However, my confused look must have struck him because he seemed to loosen his grip on the doorway. “Who are you?” He asked me, opening the door more so he could fully see me. “Matt Calaway sir, I was told they had an opening for me here.” I said, lowering my hands but keeping them up. Vince laughed at me before saying, “You can put your hands down son, come in.” I chuckled as well making my way into his office. “This is my son Shane and my daughter Stephanie.” He said, pointing to the young girl and guy who first opened the door. I shook Shane’s hand a little rough I was always taught to use a firm handshake. For Stephanie, however I saw she feared me, and I don’t know what happened to her in the past to make her back away like that. I decided to try and use a kinder handshake and gave her a smile. She seemed a little less tense and smiled back at me kindly. I sat in the chair across Vince and folded my arms across each other.
