Tough Love…

Introduction

WWE is copyrighted, and I have known nothing here in this story except for the original characters. I don't know how it works backstage and after the shows. But I do know that there are storylines in wrestling. There are also some real life rivalries and some WWE Superstars/Divas don't get along onstage, but they do get along in real life.

I do think that WWE is staged; all their wrestling moves are rehearsed and staged, so the injuries the Superstars/Divas get are all accidental. To cut this entire thing short, wrestling is forged. But I know that the cameras backstage are for real, but still part of the storyline and act.

But here in the story I will make it seem like it is real, al the injuries.

What I think happens after the show, you know, during the week, I think that's the time they would rehearse wrestling moves for next week's match. So they may not really be shopping or having a day off. However, how the hell should I know, right? I'm just the writer; I don't work in that industry. I just right what I think is good for the story.

So anyway, even if some of the information I have given in this story may be wrong. I still hope you guys have fun reading it.

Prologue

"No, oh No... Yeah, Yeah ... oh..
You look in my eyes and I get emotional inside
I know it's crazy, but you still can touch my heart
And after all this time you think that I wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing, and nothing's changed

I still believe
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again

I had a dream
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again.."

Tears then suddenly started falling from her face as she sang this. The crowd all gasped as they saw this in the big screen.

As the music started for the second part of the song, she started having hard time breathing as she held her breath trying not to make it be heard in the microphone. But unfortunately, there was no use in hiding since the whole stadium can see her tears fall.

Chapter One

Daphne Dawn Samantha Smith has been the most successful solo artist and actress in the 21st century.

She has done everything that show business world has to offer before she turned 18; she started her career at a tender age of 13. She was presumed retired when she started her college years going for the degree of fine arts at Oxford University. But all of this has changed when she received that phone call by the most important billionaire in the world of entertainment.

At first her parents were so hesitant in having to agree to this.

"Honey, I don't think I approve to this offer. I mean what if you got hurt, or worse." Her dad, Marshall Smith said. He works as a military general, meaning a very strict person.

"What's worse, dad?" She asked as she sat on the foot of her bed and her parents standing in front of her making her look up to them like a child.

"What's worse? I'll tell you what's worse, you being crippled for the rest of your life. No, I will not have a daughter of mine be crippled!" his dad exclaimed as he exited her room slamming the door hard.

Daphne sighed and looked down at her lap. And tried to wipe away tears and not make her mom notice.

"Daph, honey, don't feel bad, your dad just loves you and doesn't want to see you get hurt. I mean it's going to be hard for us to see you every week getting beaten up like a punching bag. We didn't raise you up to be an instrument for violence. No parent does." Her mom Dianne said sitting beside her daughter wrapping an arm around her and wiping tears.

"Why not? I just want to try it. I want to experience this. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. You said the 'opportunity knocks only once' and that when it happens, grab that opportunity. Well mom it's knocking right now. Can't you hear it?" she reasoned.

"Well, we'll just let this opportunity pass. You don't need it."

"Since when have opportunity been for needing?"

Dianne knew that there was no use in debating with her daughter. She sighed looking up at the ceiling as if asking for help. "Look, honey, I'll just try and talk to your dad and see if you can do this for just one month. And that's it."

Daphne then gasped and hugged her mom. "Thank you! I love you, mom!" she exclaimed hugging her tightly.

"I love you, too, dear, but if I'm able to live and talk to your dad, you better start loosening your hug." She said. "Oh, right. Sorry."

"It's okay, now go on to bed while I talk to your dad." She said kissing her goodnight and walked towards the door. "Dear God, help me." She whispered to herself. She closed the lights as Dana went under the sheets of her bed. The closed it quietly.

"Marshall." Dianne said when they were getting ready for bed. "Yes?" he answered. "I was thinking, this offer, I think it would be a great experience for Daphne, I mean don't you think she deserves to experience this?" Dianne said. "What do you mean by 'great experience'? You really think that Dana being injured is a great experience?" he answered. "Please, Marshall, I hate seeing her sad like that." She said in a pleading tone.

"She has done every single thing in the entertainment world. I have agreed to her doing it, but this thing is just crossing the line, she can do something else, I mean why would they even take her?" he said close to losing his temper. "I know that, but --"

"No more, Dianne, enough's enough." He said trying to say it a calming tone. "Okay, but hear me out first." She said.

"What is it?!"

"How about letting her try it for just one month, that's it."

"NO!"

"Why not, just one month then she retires."

"I'm not agreeing with the idea of her traveling alone."

"That's not a problem, so are you letting her go and join?"

"How is that not a problem?"

"I'll have a PA hired for her. So are you okay with it?"

"Yes okay, you win again, Dianne, but we have more to discuss tomorrow with Daph." He then kissed her goodnight and turned to his side opposite her and slept as soon as he closed his eyes.

Dianne cheered to herself with a big smile thanking her husband and then went to sleep herself.
