"okay let's go" i sigh i don't like violence i really hate it to be honest the idea of people fighting worries me the three of us get in the car and start driving to this warehouse place
"mads this place looks like it's 100 years old" emily says "guys it will be fun, it's a night off" she says "fine" it was clear emily and i weren't fully on board with the plan when we get inside it's mostly men and a few woman standing around the ring "how long is this" i ask "like an hour or two" madi says i nod and look around the giant warehouse "is that..?" i start "alana? mads? em? what are you guys doing"shane asks "this is madi's idea of girls night out" em laughs "you guys shouldn't be here, especially you alana you should go" cole says "wait what? why?" i ask "hey we should sit, it's starting"
the announcer goes on talking about the two unnamed fighters of the night "in the left corner we have john stanso returning for his fifth fight of the month" the light shines on a male who looks to be in college maybe "alana you should really go i'll drive you home" shane whispers i chose not to answer him and focus on the ref and announcer "and in the left corner we have one of our best fighters returning after a three month leave, owen smith" it was at this moment i felt my heart drop
my head turns to meet shanes eyes "why didn't he tell me" i ask "you would have cut him off completely alana he wouldn't risk that" "his hand-" "he taped it up good, the other guy john he knows and the two of them are friends the fights are mostly for entertainment and money" he cuts me off "is he going to get hurt" "he doesn't lose but it's been three months so i'm not sure how he's going to do don't let him see you he'll be caught off guard" he sighs "okay"
the fight begins i stay between emily and madi but behind shane just barely seeing past him all i head was slamming on the floor cheering and yells from the crowd i didn't want to watch knowing i could see owen get hurt
"we can go if you want" madi says she was clung onto cole i knew she wanted to be with him tonight and i didn't want to ruin it "no we can stay" i tell her
the fights go on for 3 rounds, owen was pretty beaten up but the other guy looked like he had it worse "we can see him now if you want" cole says quietly "is he going to be mad at me" i ask "no" shane says i nod and the five of us make our way to the back room i let the guys and madi take the lead and stayed back with emily
"that was a good fight" shane tells owen "good for the first time back" he says "at least you won" cole says while slinging his arm around madis shoulder "hold on madi if you're here..." owen starts the two guys move revealing emily and i "alana" he sighs i didn't know what to say to him i just met his gaze before my eyes dropped again
his arm gripped my wrist and pulled me away from everyone else "hey" he sighs i look up again still not saying anything "i know you're mad and you have every right to be but i promise i was going to tell you" he says "are you hurt" i ask "nothing you should be worried about" "owen" "just cuts a bruises it's nothing new" "and the other guy" "a few bruised ribs" i nod
"you hate me?" "i always will" i smirk "sounds about right" he pulls me into his grip and wraps his arms around me "were you ever really going to tell me" i ask "if it ever came up" "it came up a few times, why didn't you just tell me" "hey owen we ne- woah uh sorry but owen we need you to ice up in the locker room" one guy who was in his corner says "i'll be back in a minute" owen tells him the guy leaves and owen turns his attention back to me
"i'll be out in about twenty minutes, i don't know if you're going home with the girls or not" he says "it's a school night so you know i'm going home" i tell him "such an innocent girl" he jokes "virgin mary" "i can drive you if you wanna wait if not just text me when you're home" he says "alright" he kisses the top of my head before letting me go and heading to the locker room while i make my way back to the group
"you guys good?" madi asks "yeah" i tell them "alright i'm driving em home, are you going with us or owen" she asks "owen, i just need to yell at him one las time" "alright, please text me when you're home" emily says to me i nod as the two of them head out the door "we should head out, unless you want us to stay until he comes out" cole prompts "no you guys go it's alright" "alright, see you at school" and now i was alone with an almost dead phone
i had sat down in a chair attempting to not fall asleep after what felt like forever owen had finally walked out of the locker room with a few other guys "ready to go" he asks while grabbing my hands to pull me up form the chair "mhm" i mumble "you hungry?" he questions "not really but if you are then we can stop somewhere" i say "it will be quick" he says his goodbye to the three guys he came out with and the two of us walk out to his car
"how long" i ask "ala-" "how long" i cut him off "since i was 15 i've been street fighting" he says i nod but chose not to say anything "you asked" he says out of annoyance "just drive"i sigh he does as i say and we begin the drive back into town
when the car stops i realize we are i from of the diner i used to work at, i had quit due to the a mount of school work i had but was told i could come back at any time
we get out of the car and walk into the restaurant james was working the register "sit wherever" he yells to us we decide to sit in a booth in the corner of the place
"you hungry yet?" he asks i shake my head no and his eyes drop back to the menu "how mad are you" "it doesn't matter" "yes it does alana" "why?" "because what you say does matter to me" "so if i told you to stop fighting you would?" "i mean- probably not" "well i wasn't going to tell you to stop anyway" "then what?" "just be careful" i tell him "i'm always careful" he smirks i roll my eyes and pull out my phone
owen orders a burger, fries and a drink while i just get a vanilla milkshake "whats this? like our second date?" he asks "stop" i groan "first date was in DC so this would be the second" he smirks "not a date" i tell him "i consider this a date" he says i shake my head and avoid eye contact with him "you're blushing" he smiles "i am not!" i kick his foot under the table and laugh at him
"remember we were dared not to fall in love" he asks "mhm" "how are you doing with that" "i hate you so, i'd say i'm doing good how about you?" "i'm just so in love with you you're my whole world let's get married" he says sarcastically "shut up" i laugh "okay but for real you're growing on me, i might even consider you a friend" "i'm honored"
the two of us sit and eat for a while longer before leaving the diner and returning to the car
"where to now" he asks "home" "and why is that" "we have school tomorrow" "and?" "some people care about grades" "and some people care about spending time out of the house" i roll my eyes "can we just drive" i ask "you got it"
he rests his hand on my leg causing me to bite my lip noticing how close he was to his favorite place i had assumed he knew what he was doing as he kept looking over at my facial expression
"have you ever had sex in a car" he asks "yeah" "really?" i nod my head
"how's your hand" i ask once we reach my house "feels fine" "you can come inside, you should clean up the cuts and ice the bruises" i say "it's a school night" he mimics "get inside" i demand "yes ma'am"
