"You didn't." Beckham stormed into my room holding up his phone.
"What?"
I laid in bed peacefully.
"You replied to Vinnie's tattoo regrets tweet with the social handle for a tattoo remover." he laughed.
"Well after sleeping the pain away... i realized i was an idiot to cry again." i crossed my arms. "If he wants to be petty and bring out issues to the internet then i will do the same. All his supporters hate me anyways... what do i have to lose?" i shrug.
"You were just hurt... don't call yourself an idiot." he shook his head.
"Yeah whatever..." i shook my head and hopped out of the bed.
"Let me get ready then we can go to the gym. I need to let my anger out. Maybe you can use me as practice for your fight and i'll just use you as a human punching bag." i smiled up at him as he looked terrified.
"I'll wait in the living room." he muttered.

The gym
Of course the day i decide to go to the gym with Beckham, i see Vinnie here as well.
The gym was huge and had many areas with different boxing rings.
"Okay let me find gloves that will fit you and we can get started." Beckham led me over to where they keep extra boxing gloves.
i held my hands out while he tried putting the gloves on.
"Take your rings off." he instructed.
"And where do i put them? If i lose them i'll be sad." i hesitated.
"i'll hold them." he reassured me as he put his hand out.
I took off the 3 rings i had on. They were the first rings i ever bought with my own money. So i love them a lot.
I watched as he put them in the small pocket of his gym bag.
"You ready?"
"Yes." i smiled.
For the first hour he let me just swing at him then his trainer came in so they can train for the fight.
I just stood on the sidelines and watched Beckham. I admired his concentration.
But i also couldn't help but notice Vinnie on the other side of the building training as well.
He seemed so angry while training.
What if i went to talk to him?
That's a stupid idea. But then again i don't care.
Once he sat down to take a break i made it a mission to bother him.
"So did it hurt getting your tattoo removed?" i fake pouted as i sat beside him.
"I didn't get it removed." he rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"If you want i can make the appointment for you." i smirked at him.
"Look if you came here to bother me, it worked. Now go away. I need to train." he stood up from the bench.
"No what you need to do is shut up and listen to me," i stood up and pushed down on his shoulders so he'd sit back down.
I stood in front of him and crossed my arms.
"I want to make it very clear that i didn't fuck Beckham. We are just friends."
"Then explain why he was shirtless and you only had a bra on." he glared at me.
"Because we had a water fight."
"Okay if you're gonna come over here and say lies to my face then just get out of here." he stood up again.
"Vinnie i'm telling the truth." i tried to make him sit down again. He wasn't budging this time.
"He's only a friend to me. The only reason you don't see that is because you loved your best friend so you think everyone with an opposite sex best friend is the same."
"Rori..." he stepped closer to me. This time he wasn't even mugging me. His eyes softened as well as his body.
"We started off as best friends too." he let out a sigh. "And the way Beckham looks at you... i know he's trying to be more than that."
"The same way Bailey looked at you?" i laughed a little to stop myself from getting emotional.
"Yes." he responded before walking off.
"Vinnie wait!" i reached for his hand.
"Rori why are you here? Why are you trying so hard to explain yourself? Why do you care what i think or believe right now?"
"You know why...." i just know my eyes were watering already.
"That day at six flags..., it almost felt like we never broke up." i admitted. "I missed those times...."
"Yeah but when we hooked up in my bed.... you left...." he whispered in my ear so nobody could hear him.
"You left because you regretted it... didn't you?"
I didn't say anything. There was no point in responding to his question because he already knew the answer.
I did regret it. I didn't regret falling in love with him again, i regretted having sex. I know that now.
Now i am the reason these two are fighting in the boxing event. This couldn't be any worse.
