She looked by the front door of her apartment where boxes where packed, and felt grateful for everything in her life. This little apartment had been home throughout her training, home throughout her up and coming trails as a professional wrestler of all things, and home in the early stages of becoming a recognized name around the world. Her heart was light, but her purse was a little heavier these days and she was excited for this next chapter in her life. The lease would be ending at the end of the year and her roommate had made the decision to make some career moves of her own and take up travel nursing, her first assignment starting in January. Michelle could have renewed the least and kept the apartment herself, but she thought it was a great time for a fresh start as well.
Sean had been helping her look, he knew the city a bit better than her as did Sarah who had been a huge help checking out safe neighborhoods through her mom. Pasadena, where Sean lived was high on the list but she wanted something that would be different for him when he visited and new to her as well. Santa Monica was beautiful and close to the main office and the academy but after some thought it may have been a little too close. She was narrowing down her selections, but with just over a month to go, there wasn’t a lot of time left. For the time being she was just happy and enjoying the wonderful day, still riding a little bit of a high from Havoc. She wanted to address a few things and connect with the HWA Fanverse, which Sean said was important and she was making efforts to do so she grabbed her phone and got her app going. As the screen came on and she went live she waved to the camera, withing minutes the live superstar notification had gone out and a few hundred people were already watch and the number was climbing.
(Michelle): Good Morning everybody, it’s a beautiful day here in Los Angels, and I don’t think you can see behind me but I’m getting ready for a big move. I’m so very blessed to have the independence God has given me, the means to support myself and do the work that I do for amazing fans like you all. I’ve been riding a high all week long. You guys…I won the Women’s Battle Royal…can you believe it? I was super excited and I’m really glad.
I promise to turn this win into something special. I haven’t had the best record as of late but this turns things around for me. Not that I was excessively sulking about losing so much, I’m so grateful for just being there, but winning is so much fun. I want to thank you all for the many comments I’ve seen this week congratulating me, and even thanking me. I should be thanking all of you, your cheers at Havoc really pulled me through the match.
Michelle has little frown as her face crumples up in her cute way as she thinks hard.
(Michelle): Speaking of congratulations…I’d like to take a moment to congratulate Luna Rain on getting her tryout match this coming Havoc. Do I call you Luna, Luna Rain, or just Rain? I’m not really sure since we haven’t really had a chance to have a face to face. Anyhow…I know it’s been a rough road for you, but at Havoc you’re in the ring with one of the best. Sarah will put you to task for sure, but you needn’t worry about her being anything but a professional. I can’t wait to see what you bring to the table, but…. I have to be honest and say this relationship, or association, or whatever it is with Lilianna and Briar, and especially your apparent Fallen Fan Club membership thing bothers me.
It's just that I look at your dad, and your brother and the rest of your family and I see guys who are on a righteous path. I know what it’s like to want to be raised a certain way, and that be all you know. I know what it feels like to want to step outside that family bubble and be your own woman, and make your own decisions. I’m not telling you to walk in your dad’s footsteps, there’s more than one road to take to make it to your destination, I just hope you let God lead you, and not the influences of people like Fallen and the Blackthornes who in the end won’t have your best interest at heart.
Michelle exhales loudly.
(Michelle): Whew…that was a lot but I wanted to get that off my chest. There’s something else I’d like to get off my chest as well, but…
Michelle pauses…
(Michelle): ….I guess I just have to say it. Erica, you’re a vile woman! I heard about what you did showing up at Hans’ house peeping in on Vanessa. I don’t condone violence, but I’m going to pray for you at Havoc. I think you’ve really upset one of the most tempered men I’ve ever met, and it won’t end well for you. How dare you do the things that you’ve done. Your poor mother, I pray for her worried soul. I just don’t know what happened to you, but God help you at Havoc Erica Martinez, God Help you!
Michelle’s eye dart around on her screen as she sees squints to read comments come in from fans on her phones screen and smiles.
(Michelle): Thank you I appreciate that, but I don’t think what I did was brave. I’d like to think that I did what anyone else would have done and came down to help. I couldn’t let Hans go out there alone with Erica ringside so I stepped in…or “stepped up” as some of you have said.
Michelle giggles.
(Michelle): I don’t have a match this next show, but it is Holiday Havoc and I hear there’s going to be lots of festivities so I’m sure I’ll be quite busy. It’s a big show and if you guys haven’t seen the full card yet, I encourage you to go the HWA.com and check it out. I have to be a little biased and say I’m really looking forward to the 6-Man Tag Match. I can’t tell you how excited Sean is to team with Matt and Jeremy, I think that match is really going to steal the show. Speaking of Sean…I could use your help HWA Fanverse…Christmas will be here before you know and this one is going to be extra special to me. I want to get Sean something really cool so if you have any idea, send me private comment here in the app…I’d love to hear from you.
Okay folks, I’m going to wrap things up here, I’m in the process of moving soon and lots to and so little time to do it when on the road. I love you all, thank you so much for your support and I’ll see you at Havoc. Muah!
Michelle blows a kiss to the camera and ends the live feed as the screen goes to black.
