* ~~Nothing's gonna change the things that you said

~~And nothing's gonna make this right again *

Jackie stood at the front door of her parent's two story brick house excitedly and rang the door bell. She pulled her jacket tighter around her and started jumping up and down a bit to keep warm when the door was pulled open slowly, casting Jackie in the warm yellow glow.

"Oh it's so terrific to see you!" Her mom exclaimed, pulling her closer and into the house. She held Jackie away at arms length and smiled. "Jackie, you look beautiful. My little girl has grown all up." She added quietly, putting her hand over her mouth.

"Thanks Mom." She smiled, and then looked over her mom's shoulder and out into the room. "Where's Dad?"

"Oh you know your father; he's probably around here somewhere watching TV." She said dismissively. "Here, I'll bring your stuff up to your room and you can go find him because I'm positive he's missed you as much I have."

Jackie hung her coat up in the closet and slipped off her boots. She peered around the corner and saw his back facing her. He was sitting next to one of his friends and they were both watching as Sunday Night Heat came on the television. She opened her mouth to tell him how much she missed him when the words caught in her throat.

"Can you believe that? That used to be my precious Jackie."

"I know Tom."

"She was going to go to college before getting accepted on to that damn Tough Enough show and now look at her! She's out there in front of thousands of people dressing and acting like a damn slut. Everybody's laughing at her because she's out their acting as queer as that fag she's walking to the ring with. Look at those pants! Every guy in that row is staring at her ass and she's smiling about it."

* ~~Please don't turn your back

~~I can't believe it's hard

~~Just to talk to you

~~But you don't understand *

Jackie felt a hand on her shoulder but didn't turn around, instead feeling the burning tears that threatened to fall.

"Tom." Her mother said quietly.

He turned around to face his wife and his eyes got wide when he saw Jackie standing there next to her, looking as if her dog just died. "Jackie I-"

"I would like you to apologize right now." Her mom interrupted sharply.

He stood up and walked over to them, an unreadable look on his face. "Excuse me?"

"Apologize to your daughter."

"I most certainly will not because everything I say is the truth and you both know it." He said stubbornly. "She was supposed to be getting into college and making something of herself-"

"I am!" Jackie protested. "I'm doing something I've wanted to do my whole life! Why can't you just seem to accept that fact?" She watched him closely as he got up off the couch and stood in front of her. "And I'm sorry that you don't approve but this is my life. You wanted to become an accountant-I wanted to become a professional wrestler. This was a choice I made by myself."

"Well then you're obviously not capable of making very good decisions." He shot back. "Did you know some guys at the office had pictures of you up in their cubicles? I almost got into a fight at work because some new kid kept talking about you flashing the crowd last week. That is not something that would make a father proud, no matter what way you look at it."

"I'm sorry you had to stick up for me like that but that's still not going to change my mind about anything." She said stubbornly. "Now it's your choice Daddy. Are you going to turn your back on your only daughter for doing something she's always wanted to do or will you be proud of me?"

Tom pointed a shaky finger at the TV where, once again, Jackie was pulling down her shirt for Rico to gain the victory. "That-that will never make me proud of you." He said evenly as he walked by her and out the front door. Minutes later, his tires could be heard pealing out of the driveway and Jackie sighed before turning back to her mom.

"Could you try and talk to him for me?" She half-pleaded, half-whispered, ignoring the hair that had gotten free from her headband and was now hanging down in front of her eyes. "I want to try and talk to him but I can't stay, not right now, not with him still in that mind-set." She pulled on her jacket and wiped her hands over her eyes to brush away any tears threatening to fall. "I'm sorry Mom. I have to go."

* ~~'Cuz we lost it all

~~Nothing lasts forever

~~I'm sorry

~~I can't be perfect *
