I remember how it all started. I remember when I first met him. How crazy it all was before. Meeting him helped keep me sane. I was just a naive twenty-one year old, not knowing what to do. Watching my life spiral out of control. It crazy how much he changed me. The circumstances that we met under were indescribable. I cannot explain how messed up it, how messed up I was.
Before I met him I was just another girl who loved to wrestle. Moving throughout the independent scene, getting the opportunity to travel around the states. I wasn't the best, but I was good enough, I kept trying and trying to better myself in and out of the ring. That's why I kept booking a lot of shows, there were times when I did ten shows a week. I'd take any job I could get. I always saw it as an opportunity to better myself, and to get more exposure.

My parents even though they supported me, they hated seeing me push myself hard, they hated seeing me get hurt. I was 20 fresh out of college, and had little wrestling experience, I hadn't found many wrestling opportunities in my part of Texas, and I wanted to do more than just have any regular job. I made the decision to move out of my parents home and go to Philadelphia, PA. My parents thought I was being a bit too irrational going to another state, but nonetheless they let me move. One of my older brothers Daniel is a wrestler under the ring name of Silas Lupine. I was able to move in with him in his apartment, so I didn't have to waste a lot of money on a place to stay. I remember it was awkward the during the first month or so, since Daniel was never really home and when he was home he always had of few of wrestling buddies with him. I remember waking up one night and seeing that my brother has brought a few of his friends home. I remember meeting them, meeting him changed me at that point.

||Flashback to August 2009||

"Shhhhhhhh.. man you'll wake my-" Was what I heard after hearing the door slam, I guess Silas brought someone over again. "WHAT LUPINE? What was that?" coming from a sort of European accent. I kept thinking 'Who the hell did he bring?' and 'Ugh. Might as well go down there since I sure as hell won't be able to sleep with all the noise.' Rolling out of bed I make sure to put on a shirt and some shorts since I usually sleep in my underwear, after I put on the shirt I noticed it was a Few sizes too big, must be one of my brothers sweatshirt that got mixed with my stuff in the laundry room. Walking out of my room making sure to close my door, I started heading downstairs to hear that the TV is on and someone making noise in the kitchen. I see Patrick or Alex as we all call him in the living room on the couch. "Hey", he says when he notices me. I just give him a nod and a confused look. "Silas is got stuck with babysitting two drunks and a Swiss", "Thanks, Alex", nodding in appreciation, I head to straight to the kitchen.

"Um, Si.", I say as I take a look at the scene before me. Silas trying to help two clumsy drunks to their feet and another guy cleaning up the broken glass from the floor. Stopping what they were doing they look at me and clearing his throat Silas says, "Deb, What are you doing up? Did I wake you-", I cut him off, "What do you think Silas?", while giving him a stern look. "I'm sorry sis, got stuck with these two noisy ass drunkards" he says looking kind of irritated and tired. "No, I'm sorry... I couldn't sleep anyways." I say looking down picking at the hems of the shirt. I suddenly feel arms wrapped around my waist, looking up I see Alex smiling at me, "Looking good in my shirt", he says while winking at me. Blushing I just continue to look down. I guess this is his shirt must of washed it with our stuff since he stays over quite often. I use to have a huge crush on him a few years back when I met him. Call me cliché for having a crush on my older brothers friends, and ever since he found out he amped up the teasing a lot more than usual, but I guess that how we are now. His comment made the other guys except for my brother look up surprised. I recognized two of them to be Colby and Claudio, I have been to a few of my brothers matches to familiarize myself with ROH, to learn the ropes, I just have yet to meet most of the people their. The strawberry blond guy decided to make a comment "Doll, are seriously tapping that?", and just looked at me with a smirk. Getting all flustered and a bit irritated at his stupid comment and his arrogant smirk, I just feel like smacking that smirk off the face of this drunk, I mean who is he, seriously. "Well, darling, who else who I be tapping? Yo-?", I was interrupted by Silas saying "Deb, stop being rude. They're just friends, Good.", and Alex saying "Fuck off, Mox", at the same time. I guess the Swiss felt the awkwardness in the room and decided to formally introduce himself, "Hello, I'm Claudio Castagnoli", as he finally had stopped picking up the broken pieces of glass from the floor dusting himself off.
