Sitting in an airplane isn't so fun, when your body is shaking, along with nervousness scattered all over your body. My heart palpitated rather fastly, as I leaned my head against the small window. Its been two hours, and we would be landing any minute. The closer we got, the more I panicked. I have no Idea what I'm going to say. My reaction after finding out I would be coming back again, was self explaintory. As much as I missed my mother, I loved my dad too. I don't understand reality anymore. My life is just one big glob of mess. You begin with the white lies your mother told you about your father, then you get to meet him, and now, you don't want to leave him. I wonder why my life can't be like the fairytales, where you have one problem, and that's it. You can live happily ever after, once that little situation is over with. Too bad, there fictional characters, believing there reality is none other than perfect. I guess the perfect life everyone dreams of having, is really only in your dreams.

I felt the plane rush down onto the ramp, and slowly stop. Passengers began unbuckling their seatbelts, prepared to start commotion in the cramped corridor. We might as well just sit there, and wait for the last person to leave the plane. Peering over toward my dad, he was fast asleep. Poor guy, he's been through so much stress, and I know it. With WrestleMania coming up, defending his belt, and this whole ordeal, he's most likely beat. This man is my hero, seriously. I know he loves me , and I love him too. He'll do anything for me to stay with him, and he proved it by ripping up those tickets. I smiled, reminiscing the thought of the first time I met him.

" Dad..." I whispered, moving his heavy arm. " Wake up.."

He stirred in place, lifting one eye open. He smiled, as a yawn came through his lips.

" Come on.. we're here." I rose my voice, unbuckling my own seatbelt.

He rubbed his eyes, as he unbuckled his seatbelt, and regaining his posture. He smiled at me, as everyone finished up getting out of the airplane. We were the last ones to leave. He grabbed our bags, and the two of us left the airplane. We took this separte passage way in order to leave the airport. If we don't take this way, the Champ will get mauled by fans. As mcuh as he loves them, he really doesn't feel like going through the craziness.

My dad and I entered the rental car, and headed off to my mother's house. I stared out the window, admiring the clean atmosphere outside. Everything seemed to be so perfect, nothing bad. The grass was all green, the sun hitting the right place, and the houses all tidy from the outside. This is what you call the suburbs. I remembered the way we used to live, exactly like this. My mom is a clean person, always wanted everything in order. I smiled thinking about the great memories I shared with her. We were best friends, no one could compare to us, that's what we say. Now, I wonder how its going to be, having my mother and dad reunite again. Interesting isn't it? They haven't seen each for about eleven years now. It should be interesting to see how they'll react when they see each other.

You know, I remember when my mother told me the way she fell in love with my dad. She said it was ' love at first sight', so she thought. They were fifteen, the first time they met. From there, they fell in love. They became good friends, however, my dad wanted more. So, he surpised her with this romantic dinner, and that's when they realized the love between them. Their love went to the next level, when they had their one year anniversery, I was conceived. They were happy, and couldn't dream of being anywhere else. My mom claims that's where it all began. She told me, my dad didn't want to be with her anymore, he wanted to go and experience his dreams. I guess that's when there love ended, my mom still was in love with him, even after he left. Eleven Years later, I guess she doesn't have those feelings. My mom told me she has a boyfriend, an adorable one. I can't wait to meet him, its the first time my mom has had an honest relationship in years.

" Hayden!" my dad's voice sliced up my thoughts, making me glance at him.

" Yeah?" I innocently asked, flicking through the radio channels. I stopped on the song " No Air." By Jordin Sparks ft. Chris Brown.

" Are you ready?" he began, turning on Grace Street. We're close.

" To suck it?" I joked, mimicking DX's motto.

He laughed, shaking his head. " No, for seeing your mom?"

Shrugging my shoulders, I spotted my house five houses down. My heart's beating rapidly again, here comes the nervousness.

" I don't know, I'm nervous." I admitted, stroking my brunette hair.

" It'll be alright, just breathe, and relax." he suggested, as he stopped right in front of her house.

The memories of growing up began to flood back, I moved her when I was four. One year after my dad left us.. it's a great house. I have had so many memories here, some good, others terrible. Now, here I am again, after so long, ready to see my mom, her boyfriend, and my grandma all in one day. Like this couldn't be anymore scary. I exited the car, and could feel this weird feeling in my stomach. An arm wrapped around my shoulder, as I peered up.

" Babygirl, its going to be fine." he stated, with a sympathetic smile. " I'm here.."

I nodded, giving him a small hug. " Thanks daddy."

" Sweet, we went from dad, to daddy." he commented trying to joke around.

" Yeah.." I simply stated, as I took a deep breath.

My dad and I walked up the driveway, and landed on the porch. Here we were,seconds away from seeing my mother. My dad rang the doorbell, several times, before it was answered. I felt these emotions strike me, as I saw my mother's face again. A wide smile spread across her face, and tears dripped down her cheeks. I waved as she took a hold of me, giving me a tight hug. I kissed her cheek, as we continued to hold onto each other.

" Mama." I said, as she released the strong grip. " I've missed you."

" I've missed you too honey." she said, wiping a few tears. " How have you been?"

" I'm doing good." I told her. " And you?"

She didn't answer, her eyes had landed on my dad. He stared at her coldly, while she looked at him confusely.

"Its been a long time, John..." she began, folding her arms into her chest.

He nodded, adjusting his black cap. " It sure has..Gianna."

" Yeah, you look good " she complimented, with a friendly grin.

I stood in the middle of them, feeling awkward in this position.

" Mhm.." he murmured, continuing to give her this icy look. Something is going on, some bad heat between these two.

" Come in.. you two." she told us, motioning to the door.

We stepped into the house, greeted by the same way the house was the last time I was here. I took a whiff of the vanilla scented room, and immediatly, my eyes were glued to the man sitting in my chair, and my grandmother drinking some tea. I entered the room, with a smile, and wave.

" Hello Grandma, and.." I stopped my greeting, walking towards the man sitting in my chair.

He had a bright caramel eyes, shaggy dirty blonde hair, and a buff body.. my mom does pick the good looking ones. I stuck my hand out, shaking his.

" I'm Hayden, and you are?" I politly introduced myself.

" I'm Gavin, you're mom's boyfriend." he answered. " I have heard so much about you."

" I hope its good stuff." I joked, taking a seat across my grandmother.

John gave his mother a glare, taking a seat on the opposite couch, next to my mom. The room stood with an uncomfortable silence, until my grandma began to speak.

" So, what are the arrangements?" she started putting her tea down. " You know, with Hayden."

I rose an eyebrow, confused at her question. I glanced at my dad, who was bickering with my mom silently.

" Grandma what are you talking about?"

She cleared her throat. " Sweetheart, this shouldn't involve you, this is a decision you're parents make."

What? Since when does she have the authority to talk to me that way. I silently laughed, tilting my head.

" Grandma, its actually decision." I corrected. " I get to decide who I want to stay with."

I received the attention of the whole room, and the eyes are all on me. A weary sigh escaped my lips, as my mom began to speak.

" Hayden, don't talk to your grandma like that." she warned. " And, we all really need to discuss what's going to go on here."

I nodded, placing one leg over the other. " That's right."

" Hayden.." my mother said. " You know that once I got enough to support you, that you're supposed to come back and live with me."

That's true, once she was able to afford to have me here, I would be able to leave the road, and live with my mom, the way it used to be. I got to admit, it was pretty fun, and stable place to live.

" Wait a minute." dad interrupted. " I haven't spend time with her for ten years. I want to be with her."

" John, you can't handle having a child with you right now." my grandmother stepped in.

" I don't see why you have to get involved ma." John shot at her. " this is between Hayden, Gianna, and I."

" No, I'm the grandmother, I know what's best for all of you!" she argued raising her voice.

" Sure mom, keep thinking that." John rolled his eyes, as he fought with his mother.

" Who supported you when you and Gianna found out about being pregnant?" she revealed. " I did! No one else. I helped you too, now do me the favour, and give Hayden to Gianna."

I sat back, shocked at what I was hearing. Was this really happening? My grandmother trying to give me to my mom? She seems to be rather agitated with the thought of my dad keeping me. This is my fault. I know it. I'm breaking there family apart, and it pains me more than how they feel. I continued to listen to this fight, and I felt tears want to splurge out of my eyes.

" John, I want my daughter!" my mother screamed, standing up from the couch. " She's mine.. you were never there."

" You wouldn't let me be there Gianna!" my dad yelled angrily. " You never let me see her."

" For your own good." My grandmother continued..

" I want her." my dad simply said. " She's my daughter too."

" Yes, but I'm her mother, she should stay with me." my mother cried, before turning to me. She rested her knees on the floor, facing me. " Honey, please stay with me. I miss you, I know you miss me too. Stay here, it will be like before."

I saw the pain and sorrow in her eyes. It pained me too, seeing her like this. She really wanted me to stay with her. I have this feeling if I don't stay with her, she'll go crazy. And, I don't want to hear that my mother is going insane because of me.

" Listen to your mother." Grandma defended my mom.

My eyes looked over to my father. I saw him suffer, right in his seat. He wants me too, and I can tell. He's wanted me ever since the day he left us at the apartment. I saw him turn to me, and just give me this blank look.

" Okay..." I loudly said, as my mother stayed on her knees, crying.

" Stay with your mom." Grandma Carol taking a sip from her tea. " Your father isn't resonspible, he doesn't deserve to have you, and doesn't want to deal with you"

That was a big punch in the stomach, I stared at my dad with hurt eyes, is that true. This was it.. my grandma had reached the boiling point on my father. He stood up from the seat.

" How can you say that? Mom, I can't believe you!" he yelled. " I love Hayden to death. I want her to be with me, and you know it! I know she loves her mother, and loves me. Obviously, I'm not going to force her to stay with me, its her decision. If she wants to stay with her mom, she'll stay. Even if it does hurt me badly. But, there is nothing I can do."

There is the dad I know, and here is the mother I know. I sighed getting up from the seat. Tears came out of my eyes, and it was my time to cry.

" I have to make a decision..." I cried, turning away from them. " Just leave me alone for a minute."

I ran upstairs, into my old room. This brought back the memories I missed deeply. The good thing about living with my mother is I have her to realted to, and can see the old times, and create new ones. She and I were best friends, no doubt about, and I didn't want to hurt her. But, I have my dad. the man I also love. After his little outburst, I truly can see the way he feels. This was hard, and as much as it pains me, I know who I want to stay with. My mind has changed in several ways, after everything I've seen. The way I thought before I came here is different, now, my mind is set on something quite different. As much as it pains me to make this decision, I have to.

I came downstairs, to see a quiet room, sitting there, waiting for me. My mother looked at me, with a serious look, everyone did. I stood in front of them, combing my hair with my fingers. Tears streamed down my cheeks, as I stared at my mother briefly, and gave the longest stare to my father.

" I'm sorry.." I cried. " I'm staying with..."
