School Night Curfew—9:30pm - Currently 10:30pm
"That's it!" Tracy yelled to herself. "I can't do this anymore." She grabbed her phone and sighed as she began to dial the number she was dreading to dial…her daughter's father.
He had been out of the picture for their daughter Delaney ever since she was five years old. They had a good relationship, but when his career began to take off everything changed. Soon he was demanded on the road for five days a week, if not more, because he was the rookie. Delaney was entering Kindergarten and Tracy wanted her to have an actual home to call home, so Tracy stayed behind and worked her own job and took care of the house. John would go out on the road, but when he got home he was always tired and soon the two were bickering constantly and they went their separate ways.
At first Tracy didn't want Delaney out on the road with John because she had seen what some of the other wrestlers were like and she didn't want her around that. But, John was living with a few of his wrestling buddies in Louisville, Kentucky and Tracy couldn't let Delaney miss school to go and visit. Not to mention that Tracy was very nervous about Delaney being around a bunch of bachelors. So from time to time John would call, but even that fell to the wayside and soon there was no contact whatsoever.
Around the age of six, Tracy recognized that Delaney really missed her Dad. She talked about him, looked at pictures of him, so she called John and told him that she had been wrong to keep him away from their daughter and she would be willing to work something out. But it never seemed to work out.
The years passed, and they would only hear from John on Delaney's birthday…but even that tapered off.
Starting around the age of twelve or thirteen, Delaney's attitude really changed. Everywhere she looked there was John Cena, WWE's golden boy. He was in the news, on the internet, in the movies, on Disney and Nickelodeon…everywhere except her life.
Delaney began to rebel and have a pretty bad attitude. Her grades began to suffer, so Tracy took her to a psychologist to try and help…but nothing was working.
Now here was Delaney, a very beautiful fifteen year old girl, with behavioral problems that were holding her back in life. She had a bad reputation and Tracy couldn't do anything to make it better. She was caught shoplifting, drinking, and hanging out with the wrong crowd. Tracy would try to discipline her and she would threaten to start cutting herself. Finally Tracy couldn't take it anymore. Drastic times called for drastic measures.
"John, your phone is ringing." MaKayla, John's girlfriend said as she started to wake him up. John had dozed off as they watched television.
John awoke and looked at his phone, when he saw Tracy's name, he grabbed the phone and headed into the bathroom. "Hello?" Tracy was his daughter Delaney's mother. She only called when there was something going on. Not to mention the fact that John had a pretty good relationship going with his girlfriend MaKayla, and five months into the relationship he had yet to mention that he has a daughter. MaKayla had been very open and honest when they first started dating that she was unable to have children due to having cancer as a teenager and it rendered her infertile.
"John? Is that you?" Tracy asked. He sounded all hushed.
"Yeah Tracy, it's me. What's up?"
"We need to talk about Delaney." Tracy started to say when John cut her off abruptly.
"Can we talk about her later? I'm in the middle of something right now."
"Dammit John, NO we can't. Stop pushing her aside for your life to go on for five minutes." Tracy said angrily. "She's causing too much trouble and I can't take it anymore."
"Trouble? What kind of trouble? That's not like her." John said sitting on the side of the tub.
"You wouldn't have a clue." Tracy snapped. "She's been skipping school, drinking, and now she's threatening to start cutting herself. I'm DONE."
John's eyes grew wide, "Oh my God, are you serious? When did this start? Have you guys been fighting about things? What has gotten into her? Are you still seeing that guy she hated?"
"Oh the one who tried to be her father? No, we broke up a few months ago. Look John, either she goes with you and you start being her Dad or else she's going on the street or in a shelter because I just can't do this anymore." Tracy replied. "I'm exhausted and this isn't working."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." John said frantically. "What do you mean? You can't do that! Have you guys tried family therapy? Maybe she needs a little more one-on-one time. Tracy, I'm still working, I'm on the road a lot, remember?"
"Jesus John, how could I forget? Delaney sees your face everywhere except in her life. Trust me, I know your job. But, I have tried everything and nothing is working. She needs her DAD." Tracy snapped.
"I don't think this is a good idea. What am I supposed to do with a 15-yr old girl?" John replied nervously.
"John? What are you doing in there?" MaKayla called to him.
"I'll be out in a minute." He called back.
"Ok, whenever she decides to come home, I'll tell her to pack a bag and hit the streets." Tracy started to say when John stopped her.
"Fine, ok. She can come here. I'll figure something out."
"Good, you can expect her tomorrow. Her flight lands in Tampa at 1:30pm." Tracy said to him.
"Wait, what?! You don't waste any time. Are you sending her with anything?"
"She'll have her clothes and anything else she decides to grab that will fit in luggage." She replied.
"Fine, look, I've gotta go. I have a flight tomorrow, so tell her to be prepared; I have shows all weekend."
"Then you make arrangements to take her with you. Don't you dare dump her with your girlfriend." Tracy said sternly. "I want updates."
"Yeah, yeah she'll come with me." John said as he rolled his eyes.
"Good, I'll send you a picture of her. Hang on." Tracy found a recent pic and sent it to him. "Here she is, with your piercing blue eyes, dimples and long dark hair with blue highlights."
"Blue?" John asked.
"John…are you coming?" MaKayla called again.
"Yes blue."
"Ok. Got it. I hope her flight isn't late because my flight is at 2:30 and that doesn't leave much of a window." John replied as he started to pace nervously.
"Yes, yes. God forbid Super Cena arrive late." Tracy said sarcastically.
"Look, I've gotta go. I'll talk to you tomorrow." John said as he hung up.
John looked up to the sky and sighed, what in the hell was going to happen now? What was he going to do with his 15yr old daughter that he hasn't seen in 10 years?
When he walked out of the bathroom, MaKayla was laying on the bed in a very sexy nightie. "Hi Johnny." She said seductively. "Coming to bed?"
John smiled, "Damn right I am." And he went to the bed and kissed her passionately. He'd tell her in the morning about Delaney's arrival. But right now, he was going to make love to his girlfriend.
