Three Years Later

And so, here we are. Its amazing how fast time flies in this business. The days blur together from all the hours being on the road. Talent goes in and out the door daily. I have been lucky enough to have stayed throughout all of Vince's changes. After Vince re-signed me, I promised to never walk out on him again. I put in one hundred and ten percent with everything I did in this business. I haven't gotten a hold of the Diva's championship since I first did so many years ago. But I have an inked in deal to fight for it at the Royal Rumble against either Beth or Eve. I can honestly say that this is going to be the biggest match of my life. But I deserve this. I know I do, and Vince knows I do as well.

But it hasn't been smooth going since I was re-signed. In late August, John had to undergo surgery for a herniated disc in his neck. He was gone until November. It's always hard to be on the road without him. Vince tried giving me as much time off as he could so I could be with him, but I couldn't breach my contract. Then he had his storyline with Nexus, which really stressed him out. He hated being told what to do by someone else that had barely been in the business. It caused a few problems for us too since Wade and I got along pretty well. Almost…too well. But that's another story. When that storyline ended John was more then relieved. Now he's got this feud with Alberto for the title and this long-standing feud with Dwayne Johnson. This angle is my favorite by far. I love Dwayne. He was the first wrestler I became a fan of when I started watching. John isn't happy with me about it since he doesn't like him. We don't talk about it much because when we do, it always ends in an argument. I spent some time with Dwayne whenever he was on Raw. He really is a nice guy, but he hates John too. Things are messy between them, but Vince doesn't try to have me interfere with any of John's storylines. Vince traded me to Smackdown in 2009, and I've been there ever since. I don't mind it much. I get to be at Raw shows to see John and spend time with him. Otherwise I would never see him at all.

I haven't talked to my family in years. I know it probably sounds horrible. They raised me for fourteen years; how could I just stop talking to them? Well, you know that a lot of things went down between us. My sister and I talk sometimes. We are on good terms now. My mom and dad? Not so much.

Things with Dave and I broke apart. Dad was involved in a storyline with him from 2009-2010. It all started when Dave was open about our "relationship" years ago, which made dad mad and things escalated from there. Dave left the company last year, and we stopped talking. I'm not hurt about it. Yeah, I miss talking to him sometimes, but it was for the best. He's trying out some MMA stuff now and I really do wish him the best.

Shawn retired last year. I can't tell you how much I miss seeing him around the locker room and writing our letters before live shows. We talk all the time. His wife finally taught him how to text too which makes communicating a lot easier. I still wear the cross necklace he gave me every day and for every match. He was at a live show earlier this month where I saw him last. I swear he still has one match in him. He tells me that his back, knees, neck and every other muscle in his body tells him every morning that he doesn't.

I made amends with a few of my friends back home. We were in Minneapolis for Bragging Rights last year and I took some time to talk to a few of them. Brittany yelled at me for a good hour before finally letting me apologize. Ashley and Cassy forgave me too. They have been my friends ever since grade school and I wasn't about to let them go. No one else would talk to me though. It's hard knowing that people I use to care about so much threw away a friendship on false pretenses.

I never heard from Chris again. Brittany told me that she heard from one of his exes that he was put in jail for attempted robbery and assault. It's exactly where he needs to be. End of story.

Dad and Amy got married last year. She really helped him when I had run away. I didn't think he could let her go after that. Amy focuses on her music a lot now with her band. She's very supportive of wrestling and made an appearance in September last year. She goes with dad to all his movie premieres (some good, some where I asked him what the hell were you thinking when you took the part..). She's been good for him, and I'm happy to have her in my life.

And me? Well, things have been okay. I can't complain too much. I graduated from my high school, but didn't attend the ceremony. For one, I was working on graduation and two, I really didn't want to be among a lot of people who hated me. I'm in college as well. I take mostly online classes, but since John didn't want me missing out on the whole "college experience", he made me take some on-campus classes as well. That's not how it's gonna work next semester, since I'm hounded every time I step into a classroom. I'll probably stick to all online next year. But I've made some good group of friends on campus that I'll keep in touch with after the semester is over.

Love life? I think you mean a lack of one. Wade and I hooked up briefly, but dad did not improve, and that ended quickly when his storyline with him started up. After my past dating experiences, I'm not really looking for a relationship now. I just want to win my title and pass my classes. Zack Ryder always tries going out on dates with me though…dad likes him a lot. I would too if he didn't seem like a Jersey Shore reject…

My life is finally coming together. I'm at a point where I'm fully content with where I am. I can't thank Vince enough for giving me a second chance at my job. If he didn't, I don't know where I would be or what I would be doing. I thought I could handle everything on my own, and that I didn't need anyone. In the end, I knew that I couldn't get anywhere without the help of the people that meant the most to me. I think I owe my dad the biggest apology. I put him through so much hell. I still do, in a way. He doesn't like how I'm on a different show "expressing my independence without him watching over me." I like the independence, thank you very much. We get in our fights now and then, especially over this whole Dwayne thing. He has a big match coming up at Vengeance against Alberto. He's had the title so many times these past three years, I've stopped keeping track.

So, you've seen me transition from a fourteen year old girl in a foster home to a nineteen year girl who finally knows what the hell she's doing in life. You came with me through my trial, my ordeals with Chris, dealing with Eddie and Chris's death, and all my family and personal drama. All the while, I thought I didn't need any help. But I know now that I can't do this alone. And I don't have to anymore.

My name is Sarah Cena, a name I'm proud to have. My not-so-normal life is now normal, my time to shine is now, and I couldn't have done this alone without the man who I owe my life to, my father, John Cena.
