Best friends brother (and a whole lot of drama)

Chapter twenty, boxing part two.

The echo of gloves hitting punching bags was background noise as Cohen and Axel taught everyone how to punch, I felt a warm gaze on me as I punched the bag, aggravated I punched it hard a few times before whirling around and seeing Axel, his arms crossed and he wasn't looking me in the eye, his gaze was lower down.

"Real Nice asshole" I said sarcastically, getting his attention on me right before I turned around and went back to hitting the bag.

"I was watching your stance kid, your feet aren't wide enough" he shook my comment off smoothly and I felt heat of anger rise in me.

"Fine, what am I supposed to do dick?"

"Feet at shoulder width, and your focusing too much on power, right now we're just working on form and technique"

I sighed and rolled my eyes before fixing my footing and twisting my body to glare at Axel.

"Good enough?" I asked

"Yeah, just take a small step forward with your left foot so it's about two inches in front of your right, it helps with balance and is also part of the form we're working on"

"Whatever" I grumbled and turned back around to lift my arms in front of me, fists in front of my face.

"Good good, now strike with your right and when you do so I want you to take your left foot and step out so you can put the force of not only your arm but your body into the punch"

I did as he said and then stepped back into position, I twisted to see him smiling faintly and nodding.

"Just like that, now to same with your left but don't move your feet, just your body"

I did as told and turned to him again.

"Good, now keep up with that, take a break in ten minutes to get water though"

And he was off to correct someone else without letting me say another word, I sighed.

"Dick" I mumbled and went back to punching.

I didn't stop punching at the ten minute mark, only kept going, sadly I caught the attention of Axel by doing that. I heard Axel clear his throat behind me and I dropped my numb arms to turn to him.

"I to,d you ten minutes"

"Five minutes over" I panted "not a big deal" a cough racked through my chest and I laughed after.

"You're gonna kill yourself, go get some water"

"I'm a minute" I breathed

"No, now" he pointed over at the water cooler and I rolled my eyes and tried to step foreword, but tripped.

Axel moved quick, stepped out and soon his strong arms wrapped around me, his warm body only warmed me up even more.

"That's why, you've overworked your muscles, you're not used to it"

"Shut it you know it all" I grumbled as he dragged me across the mats, I could feel many pairs of eyes on me as the class watched as I pathetically tried to regain my footing, but Axel was moving too fast.

"If you would have just listened to me" He was mumbling

"Let go of me!" I said and pushed at his arms but he didn't let go "Axel, put me down you fucking asshole"

"No"

"Put me down for fucks sake! Can't you see that I hate you!? I don't want you touching me, I don't want you even looking at me!"
