Alison's POV

" You're Knockout!?" Ashton exclaims after a pregnant moment of silence. 

"Surprise?" i reply sheepishly, throwing in some jazz hands to lighten the mood.

I return my focus back to Chase whose jaw is tight and his eye was twitching. Damn if that was not my fault i would have found that highly attractive, well it is still highly attractive nut i need to focus right now. I can fan girl later with Emily. Chase gets out of the car and slams the door shut before walking away. I hurry out after him before he can get away.

"Now hold on just a second, what's with the sudden tantrum?" i say when i finally catch up to him. He spins around to face me and gosh the way that jawline looks when he clenches it. 

"Really, a tantrum? Out of all things in the world you do street fighting! Do you know how dangerous this is, people hold grudges and as soon as they discover your real identity they'll kill you because they petty like that!" he yells at me but not loud enough to attract an audience, his breathing comes out harsh and when his words register it flips my switch completely.

"Well i'm sorry that i was forced into this world when i was just 7 years old! I'm sorry that it became my escape from everything that it was hard letting go of if. I'm sorry for making you feel like i can't protect myself from the dangers this world brings! But you know what you're a hypocrite you talk about dangers and yet your job is far from being safe.So i'm sorry for burdening you with worrying about me but then again i didn't ask you to. Now if you excuse me i have a fight to participate so you can either stay or leave, either way i'm still fighting." and with that i storm away without looking back. 

My breathes come out short and quick so when i get into the changing room i inhale deeply before letting it back out slowly. I change into my red sports bra with black flames on the edges before tying my hair into a messy bun. When i step out of the dressing room i spot Emily heading towards me with a worried look on her face. "What the heck happened, you just disappeared?" she says while crossing her arms trying to look intimidating, cute. "I'm sorry mom, i just had to sort something out, i'll tell you later okay." i reassure her and before she can argue my name is announced to fight. 

I make my way to the ring and the crowd goes wild chanting my name. "And for her opponent, we have....oh looks like its a rematch over here folks. Flash can you step into the ring please" the announcer says and my heart drops, what the hell, i never fought the same person twice before.

I keep my face cool underneath my mask so that "Flash" doesn't see the effect he has on me. "Well, well, well princess i didn't expect to see you again so soon, you missed me that much?" he taunts and i simply ignore him and take my stance. 

"Ooh look at tough girl, i'm sure your daddy would be so proud." i take a deep breathe when i feel my heart beat start to increase. I let my eyes scan the crowd looking for something, or more like someone but my search comes out empty, I don't see Chase anywhere and soon the tinge of fear turns into a fire of anger, anger that i will take pride n directing towards this wannabe.

DING! As soon as the bell goes the fight flashes by in a blur and i have the upper hand. I twist Flash's arm behind him and lean towards his ear "Tell my father dearest he can go burn in hell" i whisper before knocking him out. "And we have a winner, KNOCKOUT!" the announcer screams along with the crowd's cheers but i block them out. I walk out the ring humming "Survivor by Destiny's Child" in my head.

I can still feel all the adrenaline flowing through my body while searching for Emily and it feels so damn good. I finally find her and when i do the look on her face doesn't sit well with me. "What's wrong?" i ask as soon as i reach her and she frowns. "I'm sorry Al, he left. Ashton is getting a taxi outside, come on." And just like that all the adrenaline stops immediately.

Chase's POV

I just watched her leave, i let her walk away and i didn't chase after her or stop her. The look on her face when she walked away will always haunt me. She looked so broken before she put that brave face on again. I felt like such an asshole for yelling at her like that but i meant what i said, street fighting is just as dangerous as gangs when people loose money they won't like twice about killing fighters or even kidnapping them and using them to make money.

It hurt knowing everything she went through during her childhood. What sick human being lets a 7 year old fight. I swear if i should ever come across her father i would personally enjoy giving him a slow and painful death. 

I was snapped out of my thoughts when i heard the cheers from the crowd and i rushed inside to watch her fight. I stood in the far back where i was well hidden and i saw her eyes scan the crowd. Was she looking for me? I felt all hyped at the thought and then i scold myself for acting like a hormonal teenage girl. 

She fought so effortlessly it was amazing to watch. When she knocked her opponent out i had a sudden idea. I took out my phone and texted Ashton

Chasey :

Ashy :

Sure thing boss <3
