Kendrick’s sister, Claire, arrives at his house. Kendrick really wasn’t expecting this surprise visit as she walks up and knocks on the door. As soon as he begins to open it she pushes herself in walking right by her brother.
KENDRICK: What the hell, Claire. What are you doing here? I thought we agreed before I even started in this business that anything personal would be left behind. Well, more like you and the rest of the family agreed I should say.
Kendrick rolls his eyes as Claire grabs him and looks at him.
CLAIRE: Don’t you DARE roll your eyes at me, Kendrick. This was a long time coming and you know it. We didn’t agree to anything, you left without a word. You decided that this business was more important than your family. That wrestling was all you wanted or needed. How has that worked out for you?
Kendrick pushes Claire off of him as his face slowly turns a beet red. Turning around and walking a few feet away he mumbles under his breath.
KENDRICK: How has it worked? I’d say it has worked fine. You on the other hand shouldn’t be here. You were the one person I thought would side with me. But no, you had to take the side of….them.
CLAIRE: That’s what they are now? Our parents are them to you?
Kendrick slams his fist against the kitchen island looking straight at Claire.
KENDRICK: Yes, that’s what they are. You however. You’re supposed to be one of my sisters, the one that I was the closest with. But it seems as if you have done the same as them…deserted and disowned me or whatever. Not that it matters anymore. I have what I want, my wrestling. You had your chance Claire. You had the chance but you wanted to be like…them. You have seemed to have turned out exactly like our parents.
Claire walks up to Kendrick and slaps him across the face and pushes him back, almost causing him to fall.
CLAIRE: You quit talking about our parents and about me that way, Kendrick. I came here to try to talk about things but it seems you just want confrontation.
KENDRICK: I want confrontation? I’m not the one that decided to get involved in my life. That was you. If anyone is asking for confrontation it’s you. But you want to talk? Fine.
Kendrick rubs his cheek as he gets up and goes and sits on the couch as Claire sits on the chair across from him.
KENDRICK: You want to talk about the past? Okay, let’s begin with how you didn’t want to support me in what I wanted to do which made things worse.
CLAIRE: I didn’t support you? That’s a bold face lie, Kendrick. I told you maybe you should go. Go wrestle.
KENDRICK: Yeah, you said that but don’t forget the tone you said it in and how you said it. You can try to act like you helped me all you want but it’s nowhere near true. You helped push me away as well.
And what about what started all this? Everything was fine until I started training. When I began training you decided to tell dad. Why? I’ll never understand. But that’s what started all of this. He tried to stop me training, and wanted to make sure I didn’t do what I wanted to do. He wanted me to be a lawyer or doctor. A big important person when that’s not what I wanted you know it just as I do.
Claire crosses her legs as she adjusts her position on the chair across from Kendrick and just shakes her head.
CLAIRE: Kendrick, I did that because I thought it was important that dad knew you were training. I didn’t know he would stop you from doing it. I had no idea that he’d get mad at you for it. Why does that matter though? I don’t get it. It’s in the past and you’re doing what you want to anyways.
KENDRICK: Why does it matter? Because it’s what has caused all of this Claire! The family deciding to do what they have is because of what you did. What you caused, Claire. I don’t get how you don’t see that! You’re just beginning to piss me off, Claire. And it’s not something I enjoy.
Claire shakes her head as she pushes herself up and looks down at Kendrick.
CLAIRE: You really need to calm yourself down and accept the past. Nothing can change about it. And just so you know…he is planning on coming. So I’d prepare myself if I were you. And this isn’t done between us.
KENDRICK: Yes, this is done between us, just leave please.
CLAIRE: I am leaving…but I’ll be back and we’ll have a better conversation.
Claire shakes her head as she exits Kendrick’s house.
KENDRICK: What the hell, Claire. What are you doing here? I thought we agreed before I even started in this business that anything personal would be left behind. Well, more like you and the rest of the family agreed I should say.
