Mariah Lopez's Official Website

The scene opens up backstage to Saturday Night Rapture. This is after the show had gone off the air. Backstage is a calming area for once. No BS going on and certainly nobody frantically running around. Of course, none of us are out there to see it so how can we really know what's going on out there? Anyways, here I am sitting inside the Team Lethality locker room, still in my Team Lethality t-shirt, ripped up jeans and heels. I'm sitting beside Laurie Young and Rachel Robinson. My two besties on the team. We sit there and shoot the shit just like normal people and we're the only ones in there.

Mariah: Those little bitches from Syn and Morgan's alliance will get it.

Rachel Robinson: Bella, Reaps, Tom and Israel got the worst of that attack. Laurie. Any word on Tom's condition?

Laurie Young: The big lug is fine. It's just a couple of fat asses throwing their weight around.

Rachel Robinson: True. Mariah. How did you and Danielle fare against your sister and her friend?

Mariah: We had it taken care of until Morgan, Stevie and Jesse got involved.

Laurie Young: Typical Morgan. Always having the followers attack you when you finally gain a leverage over them.

Mariah: Yeah. And we had that leverage until they showed up. Stupid leeches.

Rachel Robinson: They'll get theirs. It's only a matter of time.

Laurie Young: Yeah. Agreed.

Mariah: True. Just wished it would have happened then.

Rachel Robinson: Remember what Danielle always says to us. Patience is virtue. You have to be patient with these type of things.

Mariah: I know that. I'm just stating my desires. I always take her advice to heart since she's the one who trained me.

Laurie Young: We're all learning under "The Lethal Latina" which is phenomenal. She's a great trainer and even though we get whiny idiotic political assholes like the one holding the Broadcast title bitch and moan because she's not as good as Danielle and Heather are, as well as not earning the respect. Our opinion of her doesn't change.

Rachel Robinson: She's right. Screw the uninformed morons. If they want the respect they desire. EARN IT!

Mariah: Exactly. PCW has way too many whiny bitches and stuck up idiots. It's like a damn drama zone. One that makes it uncomfortable and half of them don't even have wrestling talent.

Laurie Young: That's true too. If they had the talent to work a match and be ENTERTAINING! Then it would be easier, but alas, that's not to be.

Rachel Robinson: And it sucks. At least there's talent that entertains and doesn't put us to sleep.

Mariah: Good point.

Rachel Robinson: If you guys don't mind. I'm going to get something to drink. Be back.

Mariah: Alright.

Rachel gets up and leaves the locker room, leaving just Laurie and I alone with one another which is fine because I happen to like Laurie. She's very down to earth and is into metal just like me and she kind of cute to boot. Damn this dirty little mind. Damn you to hell.

Mariah: Rachel's something else, isn't she?

Laurie Young: She is but she's good people.

Mariah: She is. She has my back during the Jenna Martin crap and I am forever grateful for that.

Laurie Young: She's loyal to those she's on with.

Mariah: Yeah. Doesn't help that she's a good "lover" as well.

Laurie Young: Yeah... wait, you and her hooked up?

Mariah: A few times. Strangely enough, we grew closer during these instances. You know.

Laurie Young: I do. Here and I kind of do things together. We have this honorary girlfriend relationship.

Mariah: Never had one of those although with the Jenna thing. I'm certainly not looking for an actual one.

Laurie Young: I understand.

Mariah: I'm not even sure why I'm rambling on about my love life. It's uncharacteristic of me.

Laurie wraps her arm around me and comforts me.

Laurie Young: It's fine. It's natural to talk about these things.

Mariah: Do you talk about it often?

There's a pause and Laurie looks at me before answering.

Laurie Young: Only to certain people. Like Tom for instance. I can tell him anything. We do basically live together and it's a great arrangement.

Mariah: I would ask about anything else, but that's not my place.

Laurie Young: If he wants to say. I am okay with that. We're kind of private people but not at the same time.

Mariah: I get that. Hell, perhaps I could be on this connection list.

Laurie Young: What do you mean by that?

Mariah: Well you and Rachel share the same thing that her and I share. And maybe, just maybe, we can have the same relationship.

Laurie Young: Hmm. I suppose it's possible. We have similarities on a number of things and we along great with each other. Could be a beautiful thing.

Mariah: Just like you are.

Laurie Young: I'm not going to brag, but I will say let's see where this goes.

Mariah: Awesome. I am in agreement.

Laurie Young: Yeah. If you don't mind. I'm going to get some food. Want anything?

Mariah: Sure. I could eat. Get me whatever it is they have.

Laurie Young: Will do.

Laurie gets up and walks out of the room and I watch her leave. Aah, this is the second time I have thought of her in that way. What exactly is up with me today? I'm thinking of things that I always keep hidden and worse part. It's so obvious that I have these thoughts on the brain. Yeah I can be considered a little dirty minded, but never been like this and I certainly don't ever want to reach the levels of Alexis Landry who has a waiting list of five thousand men and women at the least. That thought is very revolting to me. I snap out of my blank expression and look around, trying to regain what normalcy I have left. I grab my phone and begin playing on it as the scene fades out.

(Days later)

So here we are. A few days later and I'm back home in San Diego. Unfortunately, I am in my beyond crappy apartment. I swear I hate this place but I know I have to make due with what I have until I feel I have the means necessary to move to another place. I know I am making a good amount of money being in PCW, but I have learned that it's better to be safe than sorry. Not to mention there are those in this society we live in that prefers to just blow their money right away instead of being smart with it. My family is pretty smart and they have enough money to last a few lifetimes, and I want to be smart just like they are. I am sitting at my dining table, eating a bowl of cereal and paying some bills. I write out the electric bill and place them in the pile that's to be sent to the mail.

Mariah: And that's that. Now have to wait until next month to do this all over again. Aah, I wish I had a better apartment.

Mariah sighs before finishing her cereal and placing the bowl in the sink. I wash it and then put it in the strainer. I go back to the table and grab the envelopes with the paid bills in there before grabbing my purse and my keys and leaving my apartment. I lock the door behind me and walk down the stairs. I get to the final four and walk along the sidewalk before going to check my mail. I see nothing but junk mail and just throw it in the trash but I keep the magazines because I'm somehow fascinated by them and I proceed to walk to my car. I place my things in the car. Before I could get in. I get stopped by a familiar face. I immediately recognized her and while I'm happy to see this person. I was still shocked that they would be here.

Mariah: Lizzy.

Lizzy: Hey Mariah. How are you?

Mariah: I'm doing okay. I'm a professional wrestler now for PCW.

Lizzy: Oh very nice. I knew you had relatives in the profession but I never took you as the type to compete in it.

Mariah: Neither did I, but I fell in love with it. I guess when you watch your family do it. You kind of want to join in.

Lizzy: I guess I can understand although I wasn't a wrestling fan. Like at all.

Mariah: I remember. You were always wondering why we watched it.

Lizzy: Haha. And now, I wonder why you do it.

Mariah: Passion. The want to do this as a career and be good at something of this nature. Very few would understand.

Lizzy: Obviously. But I'd support you.

Mariah: Thanks. Enough about me though. How's life been for you since graduation?

Lizzy: Well not too bad. I mean, I'm still in University which has it's good points and it's bad ones.

Mariah: I know how that feels. I am lucky I graduated when I did. So what brings you by the neighborhood?

Lizzy: I live in this building. Fourth floor.

Mariah: Really? I had no idea. Otherwise, I would have talked to you much sooner.

Lizzy: Yeah. I never knew you lived here either but now I do hehe. So how is the family?

Mariah: They're good. You can guess what Danielle is up to although my sister is well... a bad seed.

Lizzy: Ouch. Mariella wasn't exactly nice although Danielle was the opposite. A sweet soul.

Mariah: She still is though. She's nice and sweet to those around her, but when it comes to that ring. It's thrown out the window.

Lizzy: That intense and passionate?

Mariah: Very but I like it and I know it helps her. I mean, she's a damn success.

Lizzy: Very true. I take it you're still with that one guy.

Mariah: No. I'm not into men.

Lizzy: Really?

Mariah: Yeah. While you knew me as being into both genders. I finally realized that I am only attracted to women. I don't feel the same way about a man as I do a woman.

Lizzy: So you're a lesbian?

Mariah: Yes. Yes I am.

Lizzy: Well I'm fine with it. After all, it is your beliefs and if you feel more comfortable with a woman. Who am I to judge?

Mariah: Yeah. I'm glad you see it that way and are so accepting. This is why I always loved you in high school.

Lizzy: Always were my best friend. And still considered that to this day despite not having a conversation with you in almost five years.

Mariah: That's how it is sometimes. But I'm glad we're reconnecting right now.

Lizzy: As am I. If you ever want to talk more. You have my number. It's the same as it was in high school.

Mariah: Still didn't get it changed?

Lizzy: No. I still have it. There are a lot of things that haven't changed in five years.

Mariah: Other than us being adults that is.

Lizzy: Good point. Now I have to get into my apartment and put up these groceries. It was great talking to you.

Mariah: Same here. I have to get going too. Have to pay a few bills. I live on the second floor if you ever want to hang out.

Lizzy: Would love that.

Lizzy and I hug it out before going our separate ways. As she walks up the stairs. I smile, knowing that I have my old best friend back. I get into my car and I proceed to drive away as the scene fades out.

The End

---------------------------------------------

Right now, my record on PCW televised events is dead even at one and one. My loss being to Heather Monroe, who is now the PCW World Heavyweight Champion and my victory being the Scars of Wrestling Cup at Anarchy when I defeated Mya Denton, Leon Lonewolf and Kuk Killswitch to win my first cup, which contains either a tag team title shot or a shot at the Broadcast Championship. I'm sure the champions of said divisions have that thought in their heads. Well I know at least the tag team champions do at least. But I don't mind though because being overlooked is kind of a motivational tool for me to get better. Most bitch and moan about it, but that's not going to be me. I plan on making myself better and the less attention on me.

I feel I'm better off.

On the upcoming Rapture will be my third televised PCW match. I'm going back to singles competition this time as I get to face the one, the only, Chris Marks. You might be asking yourselves. Who the hell is Chris Marks and why should we care? I can agree with that, but I do know that one of the best in the world is training him and getting him on track. I view Adrien Cochrane as one of the best wrestlers in PCW right now and his success can only help Chris out and help him succeed if he's really passionate about his craft. He made his debut two weeks ago and beat Kyle Sync who is really a glorified punching bag.

He looked strong against Sync, but I'm certainly not him. Not by a long shot. I haven't really done anything in PCW yet but I am getting started and am hoping to be somebody. I like to think Chris does too, but knowing that he smokes, has an a-hole like personality, is a lazy slob, a disgusting criminal and doesn't exactly like other people, really can be a cause of concern. But I know I'm not going to be worried about it because that's his deal. I can only concentrate on myself and what I have to do.

What is is that I have to do?

First off is winning this match. I feel that I need to win to really solidify myself as a rising star. The Scars cup was a nice achievement but I know I need to do more around here to really be in a better position. My goals are pretty evident. I said them on Rapture and winning is a key way towards getting closer to said goals. Do I think Chris Marks has a chance in beating me? Sure. Anybody can lose on any given day. Will he though? I'm going to say no because as much as Chris wants people to think he has changed and has the passion to get the win. He doesn't realize that he's going up against somebody who damn sure will bring her all and school him in so many ways. His head will be spinning... literally that is. This is my match to win and I plan on pulling out all the stops. Will you do the same, Chris? No you will not. But I'll be seeing you on Rapture regardless and our match will be a great one.

See you in Portland, Christopher.
