Forever In My Heart

Brrrrrr.....1

My alarm goes off, waking me from my cozy slumber.  I reach over and turn it off. Wiping my eyes and trying to adjust to the light, I slink out of bed and go to my closet to get my outfit for school. Do you know how hard it is to decide on a outfit when you want to look your best? 2

After picking out the right outfit, I go into my bathroom to take my shower. The hot, steaming water wakes me up, which in my opinion is a good thing, seeing as though I am so groggy.  I step out of the shower only to see my mother standing in front of me.3

"AHHHHH!  Can't you knock?" I ask4

"Oh, your'e my daughter.  I used to change your diapers for Christ's sake! Hurry up and get dressed otherwise you will be late for school!" she says. 5

I grumble as I close the door and get dressed. It seems like no matter where I am, I turn around, she is right there. Anyway, I am walking back to my room to find my book bag and get my coat when I turn the radio on.  I go to my door and check to see if anyone is looking.  With the coast clear, I stand on tiptoes and kiss my poster of John Cena.  Boy would that be embarrassing if someone saw me do that?  Right as I am walking out the door, the two words every person wanted to hear when they were little rang out loud and clear.6

"NO SCHOOL!"7

I rush into the kitchen and tell my mother.  She states that she already knew about but didn't want to tell me.  8

"Whatever" I say as I walk back to my room9

I sit on my bed and downplay the events that will come to my mind today.  First I will sit and watch TV all day.  Then I will find something to do so that my brain doesn't entirely rot away.  Then I might do some homework.  Other than that, TV is mine today.  10

Hours pass and there is nothing good on TV.  I have done all my math homework already and was just getting ready to start on a paper for history when the doorbell rings.  Of course, me being the only one here, I have to answer it.  I place all my things back on the couch and rush to get the door.  I hesitate about opening it.  If it is that important, they will come back or call.  I decided (against better judgment) to open the door and state that I don't want anything they are selling.  11

Upon opening the door, I gasp in shock.  Standing in front of me in faded blue jean shorts and a LA Lakers jersey is none other than JOHN CENA!  12

I almost fainted on the spot.13

"Yes?  Can I help you" I barely mutter14

"Um...maybe. Hi.  My car broke down and the mechanics can't get it fixed until next Tuesday.  Do you think I could stay here for a few days.  I mean if I am going to be a bother then....." he says15

I don't even let him finish as I drag him into my house and get him all set up in the guest bedroom.  After he is all done unpacking, he comes into my living room and sits down.  I just stare at him.  16

"So....I take it you like wrestling?" he asks me17

"Uh..............Yeah, I do.  Sorry brain lapse there for a minute." I barely manage to get out. 18

We sit talking for what seems like hours.  Before I know it my mother is back home from work and now I get to use her car.  John asks if I want to go somewhere with him.  DUH!  Of course I do.  I go into my room and get dressed.  19

About fifteen minutes later we pull up in front of a roller skating rink.  We go inside.  I hate to say it to him, but I can't roller skate.  I mean, I can I just havent roller skated in years.  We get our skates and then go on the ring.  I fall almost immediately.  He is laughing at me and telling me to hold on to his hand until I get the hang of it again. Heaven, here I come. 20

The next four days pass by in a blur.  I learned so much about him, it wasn't even funny.  We spent so much time together, it was almost sickening.  But as everyone knows, all good (and hot) things must come to an end.  21

Tuesday rolled around and John stated that he had to go.  I have been dreading this moment from the time he arrived at my door.  22

"Heather, you have been such a great help to me in these last few days that I just don't know how I can repay you. I am sure that you have some ideas but lets not go there.  Anyway, the littlest thing that I could do would be to give you this.  I know that it does not make up for all the great times we have had these last few days, but I hope it reminds you of the fun that we had. Just remember, in your heart I will always be there and that I will never forget you" he said as he handed me a package. 23

With tears in my eyes I open it to reveal a t-shirt of him that he signed, two front row tickets to Wrestemania XXI and a pillow that says "Heather sleeps with John every night"  It has his picture on the pillow.  He gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek as he walks out of the door and out of my life. 24

I watch him get into his car and drive away.  I go into my living room holding the pillow close to me and start crying.  My mother comes over to me and asks what is wrong.  I proceeded to tell her.  25

"Honey, I know that you think that he is out of your life for good, but no matter what happens, he will always have the memory of the blonde haired girl who let him into her home and into her heart.  Even though someone leaves from you doesn't mean that you will forget them.  It just means that you hold every memory of ever being with them even closer to your heart than what once was.  Don't ever forget that.  Plus you'll see him again.  You have passes to his next event.  Plus you have a pillow to always remind you of the compassion you showed towards him." my mother says, holding me close.26

So every night when I go to sleep, I cuddle up to my pillow and remember how his soft hands gripped mine close when we were skating.27
