Prologue:


“That was so much fun…”

“It really was..you did great today Mads”

“Thanks daddy”

We walked into the house to see my mother sitting on the couch staring out the window…with a scowl on her face.

“Madison go upstairs to your room…please”

Looking between them…it was impossible to think the next conversation was going to be a good one. I just nodded and did as her mother asked…but I didn’t get to the room only to the top of the stairs where they couldn’t see me

“When it comes to Mads I will do anything for her and you know that”

“You know hockey and that stupid boy up the street are all that matters…well unless you take Madison to hockey with you”

“Don’t throw coaching and Sidney in my face…Mads goes with me to the rink because she likes to…and how dare you even say that she doesn’t matter to me or that I am turning her into a boy…SHE is the best thing that has happened to me.

“I used to say the same thing about you…what happened.

That was the first time since we had gotten home the yelling stopped… They thought I had listened but I had gotten really good at being quiet when this happened…not that they could hear me over the yelling anyway

“John I fell for that line 10 years ago…I am not that 18 year old who is scared because she got pregnant …I’m done”

----

2 year later…

“I have made my decision on the custodial issue of Miss. Madison Lily Waverly…” I hated when people used my full name. I should have been at practice with my dad and Sidney but I had to sit in the court room while my parents fought over me instead.

“…I have decided that Mrs. Waverly will have full and total custody. There are several reasons for my decision but I feel that she and her family will be able to provide the best life for the minor in question. She will be able to take the minor to her hometown in the United States.” I didn’t even hear that last part the only part I heard was that my mother won and I was going to be with her and not my dad.

“DADDY” I said through my tears and ran over to him…

“Mads…you have to go that is what the judge said” I could tell that he didn’t want to say it but that was the ruling and he had already spent so much to fight. I saw him sitting over his bills and him turning the loan down from Troy so he could fight more.

My mother walked over and grabbed my hand and pulled me away from my dad. I was crying hysterically now and I saw the tears running down his face as the court doors closed.
