Just like any other Thursday for the past 4 years, I made my way to the Hardy Compound. This Thursday was different tho, this was the last Thursday I would be here before joining WFWF. What a wild ride it has been tho over these past 4 years and this is it. This was the last night I was gonna spend with Duke and Mitch for a long time. They got offers around the same time to join another promotion. I know I would be back here and there to visit but after spending 4 years in one place, you get used to calling that place home. New challenges await tho. It's not saying goodbye it's just saying I'll be back soon or that's what I keep telling myself at least.
I turn down the narrow, long, unilluminated, gravel road heading toward the big 8 car garage that has 2 rings and some free weights and elliptical machines that Duke and Mitch refer to as the Hardy Compound. Don't tell them anything different tho, they take it real personal. They built Alpha Wrestling out of this complex into what it is today before stepping down and passing it on to there newphew Jonas Hardy.
There is an unusual amount of cars for a Thursday evening but I guess Mitch's class ran late or something. As I pull into a parking space in my 2014 Dodge Dart SXT, I noticed Tito Lopez emerging from the garage. I call out to him "Yo what's up big man, what are you doing here so late."
The big 6'4, 325 lb., Mexican American responds "What's good lil bro, you know just getting some late work in. Class ran a little late Mitch was stuck in traffic coming home so we started hella bro. Congrats on signing with the WFWF. That's big time right there man."
"You already know, this is it man my big break, the big leagues. Where stars are born and Legends are made, the WFWF. This is my last night here man, tomorrow is the big day. Packing up and heading out. Sad to go tho man gonna miss you all. We grew to be family over the last 4 years, some leave others come in but we always remained tight bro."
"You already know bros 4 4 4 4 4 life. We had some battles for that Alpha Heavyweight Title and some great memories. Once you get in good up there man you should toss my name out there and see if maybe good old Thunder Lopez could get a dance on the big stage."
"I got you big bro, once I get my feet wet then I'll definitely put in a good word for you. Maybe you could help me out tonight tho. I was trying to score a lil green maybe a dime or something just for tonight before I head off. You know that's why your nickname is Greenhouse."
"I got you man let me run over to the whip right quick and I'll bust you out something."
As Tito ran over to his car to rustle something up, some more bright beams of headlights shine down the gravel road. It's Sarah Hannah. One of the best female works Alpha has every seen and the girl Apollo just could never get with. She always had a guy or he always had a different girl but the connection has always been there. It sucks Apollo is leaving because she just recently became single. She parked her car behind Apollo's and made here way down. Her walk could stop time, d*mn near gave Apollo or any man for that matter a heart attack everytime he seen those luscious legs and that round fat old booty coming his way.
She strolls over and says "Hey there stud, I heard tonight is your last night here before heading to the WFWF."
"Yeah beautiful tonight is the last night, making my way to the big dance. Making my debut at WFWF Horizon in a match against the ultra talented Maxwell Dachs and Trevor Wolf in 3 way dance so I figured I would get a little extra work in tonight."
"Look at you babe, always the hard worker. Your gonna do big things there, I can feel it. I'm so proud of you. I remember watching you train when you first came in and to see where you are now is just leaps and bounds. I wish you didn't have to go and I'm gonna miss you like crazy but I know your chasing your dream. Just come back and visit me, don't forget about me Apollo."
"You have always been good to me and I am gonna miss you like crazy too. You could always come with me. Be my manager or valet. I know you broke up with Zane, nothing is stopping you. I have room."
"I wish I could Apollo but I just can't leave right now. I want to tho, the offer is so tempting."
"Just think about it, we still got all night. You don't have to rush just think about it."
As Apollo and Sarah continue you there conversation, Tito makes his way back from his car and hands a baggy to Apollo slyly in the form of a hand shake "There you go man, you ready to get up in here real quick. It's getting a little cold out here. We should move the conversation inside.
Apollo stuffs the baggy in his right pocket as they make there way into the Compound or big a** garage. Tito holds the door open as Sarah and Apollo make their way in as he follows behind them. "Damn man the lights were just on, it's pitch black in here. You guys stay right here and let me go turns these back on."
Tito slowly walks off into the darkness as Sarah interlocks her arm in Apollo's. "Don't get the wrong idea Apollo, you know the dark creeps me out."
As Apollo is about to respond the lights come back on and a ton of people yell "Surprise" really loud. There's Evan, Jerm, Jay, Colin, Rick, Matt, Tony, Amber, Tanya, Joe, Shelly, Mitch, and finally Duke all standing behind a table with a huge cake that reads Congrats Apollo Dreams Really Do Come True on it. There is a giant banner over the rings he that's hung up and decorations. Everybody came out to say goodbye to Apollo. What a glorious turn out and what a reaction Apollo has. "Wow this is all too much, I can't believe you guys went to all this trouble just for me. The love I feel right now, you guys this means the world too me." Apollo says." A burly man comes up and puts his arm around Apollo and says "Boy this is all for you. Your my first student that I ever had to get signed by a major promotion and your the best friend a guy could ever ask for. I just wanted to show you what you mean to me from the bottom of my heart and this isn't even a 10th of it bud. Tonight is your night. Enjoy it, live it up, stay humble, because tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your new life."
"Duke thank you so much, you have been more than a friend to me, you have been like the father I never had and what you have done for me I will never forget. This means so much. I have never felt so loved in my entire life. I will always be here for you Duke."
"Enough of that sappy s**t, are you guys gonna get into your feelings or are we gonna party cause partying is what I do best here at my Compound. I'm just f***in around Apollo you know we all love you and can't be more thrilled or proud. Now seriously, tho let's cut this cake, eat, and party like it's 1999 Prince style." Mitch yells out from the other side of the room.
Everybody gathered around and watched as Apollo cut the cake and past a piece around to everyone as they joked and laughed and danced as the night wore on. It must have seemed like ages had passed and people started heading out. The music was still blaring and people were still dancing but it was dying off after a few hours. Apollo managed to sneak out and found a nice spot on the grass over looking the lake. He found the flatest rock he could and skipped it across the lake seeing how far it would go.
"You got enough room for an old man to take a seat a join you." Duke says.
"Of course Duke anything for you. I can't appreciate how much this party means to me again I can't thank you enough."
"You don't have to thank me boy, I wanted to do this. I wanted to make sure your last day here was your best day here. I know sometimes it was hell and sometimes I put you through hell but I knew you had the gift and I knew if I pushed you hard enough you would make it one day and look where we are. You made it boy just don't forget this is only the first step toward greatness. Anyway, enough with me lecturing you, I'm sure you hate it, but I have something I wanted to give you. It's nothing extravagant or extraordinary but it's from the heart. When I first broke in my dad bought me this watch. He told me people only do good busniess with a busniess man. He said the key to any good busniess man is a good watch. He got me this Rolex and hell I dont need it anymore so I passing it down to you. Hopefully you will appreciate it and take care of it. It's a classic like old Duke here boy."
"I don't know what to say but thank you I will keep it forever and one day hopefully I can pass it on. Ifor it wasn't for you Duke, I would probably be dead in a ditch somewhere or in jail. I owe it all to you."
"Alright, alright Apollo I'm gonna go in make sure before you leave tomorrow to say bye and send me tickets to Salt Lake City baby so I can sit front row and watch my boy go to work."
As Duke got up and walked off Apollo looked down at the watch and then looked up at the sky. From behind Sarah planto a huge kiss on the side of his cheek and sits down next to him. "Why are you sitting out here by yourself, it's a little chill. Come inside with me, I got a little something for your going away gift."
"Sarah you didn't have to get me anything but maybe you could just lay down and look at the stars with me. I'm really going to miss this right here. Anytime I had a problem or thought I was gonna use again I would come out here and sit and look up at the stars and realize how lucky I was to be alive. You never know what you have till it's gone. It took alot of rehab to figure that out, alot of hurting the people I care about, alot of stealing, alot of bad sh*t, and look now here we are it's a miracle.
"Apollo I wanna tell you something and I don't want you to say or do anything just listen. I've always seen the way you look at me and the way we flirt. I've always wanted to tell you but I've always had someone or you've always had someone but tonight is youreally last night here and I had to tell you before you left but I've always been in love with you. I've always dreamed and wondered what it would be like to make love to you and be yours but I never wanted to hurt our friendship. I know I'm dumb for feeling this way but I had to tell you before you left."
"Sarah I've always felt the same way, I never thought you would be into a guy like me. I guess it's my fault maybe I should have stepped up and manned up and told you how I feel. I've loved you since the first moment I ever seen you. Come with me baby we can make it work."
As he tries to talk she puts her finger over his lips and then kisses him. Sarah straddles him and pushes his back to the ground. He rubs his hands around her body as she takes her bra off. They make love under the stars for hours before they fall asleep. As the sun peeks out of the sky. Apollo's cell phone rings waking him up. He answers and the voice on the other end let's him know his car is ready to be picked up, your accommodations for travel have been met and we will see you soon. Thanks and have a good trip. It was the director of talent raletionships receptionist for the WFWF letting him know everything has been booked and ready for him to head out to Salt Lake City.
"Apollo, I'm coming with you."
