Chapter 49: You Abandoned ME!!!
There was utter silence in the crowd as they saw Dacey Surestone go off on her mentor Andrew Gibson.
No wrestling storyline has gone in this direction. Like never. The mentors and trainers who helped train the wrestlers have always been idolized in this world and there was usually a lot of respect afforded to them both backstage and inside the ring.
Now, Dacey Surestone was going off on Andrew Gibson like he had abandoned her. And it was riveting for the crowd to watch. The thing Rob did here was to drag back the mentors from being idols to being normal humans. And from the response, it seemed to work.
"Dacey, I really don’t know what you are talking about," Andrew Gibson stated in confusion.
And that seemed to be the last straw that broke Dacey’s composure. She backed away from him and started pacing angrily inside the ring. There was agitation visible all over her features.
"You don’t know," Dacey mumbled, "Of course, you don’t know. If you knew you would have been there for me, won’t you?" Dacey asked sweetly.
"Absolutely," Andrew Gibson said empathetically.
"So, all these things are just me imagining it inside my head, is it? All these disappointments and heartbreaks I had to go through to get here are all my imagination, is it?"
There was a dangerous edge to Dacey’s voice now. And everyone in the crowd was able to recognize it, including Andrew Gibson. So, he wisely shut up and looked on.
"You know, I have always considered you to be my idol. The man who guided me and helped me channel my energies in the right direction. That is why, that is why I have always stood by you," Dacey started speaking to herself still pacing.
"And that is why when you came up with this idea to establish LWC, I was the first one to support you. I remember you being depressed and angry when others laughed at you saying Longham City didn’t need another wrestling promotion. I remember you looking crestfallen when they said no one is going to look at what you put out when AWF is near."
"And I remember you being black-out drunk and complaining to me about it. And what did I do? I was the good trainee, so I supported you unconditionally. I supported you when others mocked you. I supported you when others ridiculed your idea."
