Usually the drive home I’m falling asleep, but not this time. The hype of actually getting to be on a WCF event, let alone a PPV has got me jacked! I get home at around 2am, and Grandma is asleep on the couch. She was most likely up all night worrying about me again. I cover her up and tip toe to kitchen and make a sandwich before going upstairs to my room.
The next day I come down stairs and get the riot act I expected.
“Why did you ditch on the second half of school yet again this Friday young man? It better not of been go dancing with those half naked men and chasing that ridiculous idea of being a wrestler again James!” Grams feebly tries to yell at me, she then proceeds to a coughing fit.
She never did like the idea of me chasing my dreams.
I pat her on the back, “Grams but I got an offer to go to the big leagues. I going be in a PPV for WCF. Isn’t that awesome?”
“Your 17! You need stop chasing silly dreams and finish high school so you can go on to college and get a real job.”
“But…this is what I love shouldn’t I do what I love?”
“No, you should do what will set you up right for success. The cancer is gunna take me and Grandpa soon, then what will you do? Run off overseas and get yourself killed like your parents? Go help your grandpa feed the livestock silly boy, ill make breakfast” tears well up in her eyes at the mention of mom and dad. I didn’t really know them so doesn’t get to me as much.
“Hey Gramps, I got a big time deal with WCF coming up. Isnt that cool?” I say approaching the hog pen to help him lob the slop over the gate. He hasn’t let the cancer slow him down, even though he can barely lift it anymore.
“Is that that queer huggin stuff? Still don’t see why you don’t do a real sport like football or baseball. But good fir ya I guess. Now help me catch this sow, she needs her meds.” The tall thin man in faded over alls says as opens the gate.
“Ya… no problem. Hey gramps I wanna practice a bit think I could use a couple hay bales later?”
“Jumping off the barn again are ye? Your gunna kill your Gramma faster than that damn cancer ever will boy. But I suppose not shut up and catch her.”
His words sting a bit so i let it go. Noone in my family ever really liked wrestling expect my uncle. My grandparents both felt it was a waste of time and effort for me to go to the traing schools. Neither have seen me wrestle, though gramps did catch me senton diving off the barn a couple times.
Later That Night
“You received a collect call from…Cody…. Do you accept?” always gotta love hearing that. Means my brothers been arrested again. On way back from picking his drunk ass up from the jail house I mention my big shot at fame.
“So like you’ll be able give me money and get me some them wrestling bitchs to fuck right?” he responds his head lolling around as his body odor and bad breath stink up my tiny s-10.
Cody is my older brother, by older i mean a year. And though all he does is drink and fight, my grandparents worship the ground he walks on and never seem to discourage his dreams as they seem to do mine.
“Uh ya… something like that I guess. Hey do you care if I stop to tell uncle brain? He’ll be thrilled!” I ask but he is already passed out in passenger seat so I stop at the cemetery anyway.
“Hey Unkie, miss you a lot lately. Still keep thinking had I came got your drunk ass you may not be here now. That you’d be able to see my big debut in WCF.” I grin at his measly headstone. It’s all I could afford though. “that’s right I made it finally and maybe I’ll…no I will I’ll get so over that I get you a proper headstone and maybe even get Cody the help he needs along with gramps and grandma treatments.” I start to tear up, but can’t help it. “Thanks Unkie. At least some ones proud of me…”
I stand there a bit longer then get back in the truck and drive home. I carry my older heavier brother’s ass upstairs to his room then go to my bed and turn on the local country channel as I lay their thinking bout my messed up life and how I will need to out shine so many great stars and unique gimmicks to keep my promises.
