Fighting For Her [Completed]

Chapter Eleven

"Don't think you have this.. cause you don't."

Violet was telling me all kinds of things about how I'm going to lose and make an idiot out of myself.

I thought friends were suppose to be supportive?

She was making me feel like shit.

She kept telling me that I was an idiot for even asking Diamond to fight. I should have never did that and all this shit that was making me feel even worse than I already was.

When I found out she was a professional boxer, it made things a little harder for me.

I had a gut feeling that I would lose but another part of me was telling me that I had a chance.

A very small chance, but still a chance.

I'm going with that small part that was was positive.

Before we left that day, a man came up and said that Diamond requested the fight to be in two days. I felt a little confident but Violet was worried and Hayden was nervous.

Violet tried teaching me boxing the last two days but I just couldn't understand it.

It was harder than it looked.

Hayden was also helping and we all three were standing in the backyard, trying to teach myself how to box.

Sports weren't my thing and I made sure they knew that.

Violet gave up and said that if I get my face punched in, then don't come crying to her.

Hayden patted me on the back and told me good luck.

That left me, myself and I alone with thoughts about what could happen and what possibly will happen.

It was a scary thought for sure but I had a small part of confidence and I was ready.

But when the day came and everyone was at the gym, getting pumped up and cheering, all that confidence went away and I was scared shitless.

I was now cussing myself in the bathroom, telling myself that I was an idiot and I was going to die.

This was my death.

All for a stupid interest.

It wasn't even about the pictures anymore.

I just wanted to get to know her and now I'm going to get to know Jesus.

"I'm an idiot."

"That you are."

I look in the mirror to see Violet standing that with her arms crossed. I sighed before leaning my head down for a moment before turning around towards her.

"I'm sorry I did this.."

"Over some pictures? Journey, I know you love photography but it's not worth this kind of risk."

"It's not cause of the pictures.."

She gave me a confused look. "Then what?"

"There's.. something about Diamond that I can't ignore. She has this mystery towards her and I want to get to know her better.. I came to the conclusion that I do like her and it's literally beating me every single time I'm here." I sigh.

"I didn't just make that offer to fight for some pictures. I also made an offer that we would go on a friendly date if I won."

She kept staring at me. "And if you lose then you can't come back here."

Sighing, I nod. "Yeah."

Violet stands there for a moment before walking towards me and pulling me into a hug. "It's ok, Journey. We'll figure something out."
