It's been a merry-go-round throughout the last week.

Diamond hasn't asked me to babysit anymore and her kids weren't at the gym so it made me wonder where they were.

She didn't seem too happy anymore and it was definitely showing.

When she would train, she was more angrier than ever and everyone noticed when she would yell as loud as she could when hitting the punching bag.

I noticed before anyone else.

Something was wrong.

But talking to her was something I wasn't going to do.

Just sit back and watch her suffer.

Nobody else cared.

Hayden asked once and Violet looked over there a few times but never said anything. I couldn't understand how nobody was even caring about this.

Michael noticed cause he was talking to her but she kept pulling away as he would try to follow her or pull her to him.

I was watching them until Diamond pulled back and said something to him before walking to the bathroom.

That made even more curious on what was wrong.

But I tried not letting it distract me whenever I was there to support Violet cause her fight was coming up.

I knew she was nervous cause she kept talking about it at the house and I could see the energy drained from her every time we were at the gym.

But she was trying.

She told us that she was not giving up cause it's something she never does. She was going to give it her best and fight.

I was proud of her.

She was doing great and we told her that everyday.

But even when I was there supporting her, my mind sometimes wandered to Diamond. She was only a few feet away, standing with everyone else as she was watching Violet cause everyone's attention was on her.

I guess this fight was pretty big.

At this moment, she was fighting this girl for practice and she was doing amazing.

"This is kind of like deja vu when you were about to fight Diamond." Hayden said to me as we were sitting on the bleachers.

"That was bigger, right?"

He shrugged. "I'm guessing cause she's.. her but this fight will determine if Violet is ready for the next round."

Even though we've been here for over a month now. Probably two months, I still can't understand boxing that much.

All these competitions and everything was a little confusing to me.

Violet was training heart out and it was showing.

Having to work and train at the same time was something not many people could do.

But she was doing great and it was showing.

As everyone was standing or sitting around watching Violet, I kept glancing over at Diamond as she was watching also.

She had her arms crossed, watching Violet and I kept my eyes on her until she looked over and caught my eyes.

Too quick cause I didn't have the chance to turn away in time.

When I did, I mentally slapped myself before watching my best friend beat the shit out of this girl. I cheered and Hayden did the same thing as we were the loudest ones in gym.

We stood up, cheered as loud as we could to make Violet's confidence go up. I watch as she was hitting harder and making moves that resulted in the other girl to fall down.

"Go Violet!"

"That's my girl!" I screamed.

Violet stood over the girl and everyone cheered.

I was so happy for her.

Hayden pulled me into a hug and we jumped up and down before yelling when Violet was climbing out of the ring.

We rushed to her and pulled her into a hug when she came to the bleachers. We told her she did amazing and this fight was going to be too easy for her when it comes around.

"Thank you." She smiles before grabbing a bottle of water and chugging it. "I feel great and I think I have a chance to win."

"Of course you do." Hayden says. "You knocked that girl out."

Nodding, I smiled as she was talking about her fight and I could see that she was happy.

As she was talking, I caught sight of Diamond walking over towards us. I kept my eyes on her until she looks at me and I looked away.

She stops next to Violet before telling her she did good.

"Thank you, Diamond." She smiles. "That means a lot coming from you."

"I believe you have this competition." Diamond said before glancing at me then walking away.

Hayden looks at me before looking at Violet. "Wow. Even Diamond thinks you can win."

"That means a lot coming from her." Violet said as she was looking around.

I look around as well before seeing Diamond look over at us before looking away. I kept watching her before I saw her take her phone out to answer it.

Hayden nudges me before smiling when I look over at him. "Staring is rude." He chuckles as I roll my eyes before looking over at Violet.

"I think we should go out tonight. Eat someone fancy and live it up."

"To celebrate?" Hayden asks.

Violet shrugs before smiling. "Just have a really good dinner together. We haven't really had one of those in a while."

"We'll split the bill." I said.

They all agreed and I smiled before watching Violet place her water down. I saw her trainer walk over before talking to her and I looked around as Hayden was doing the same thing.

"You know," Hayden looks at me. "boxing was never a sport I liked but damn all these girls knocking each other out."

I chuckle as I look around, realizing that I didn't really care for boxing either.

Diamond caught my eye as she was standing around, looking at someone.

But I knew that all changed the moment I stepped into this building.

-

"This is so nice." Violet said as we were sitting in a restuarant, eating fancy food and living the fancy life for just one night.

"And expensive." Hayden said as he was breaking his crab leg.

Nodding, I look around and really was living the fancy life for once. It was nice but also scary cause this shit was crazy expensive.

We didn't even have the check yet but the prices on the menu could make someone faint.

It was a seafood place and it was amazing.

Hayden was enjoying is crab legs with a bunch of other stuff piled on his plate.

Violet was having some sort of fish and I was eating shrimp.

It was so good.

"If I was rich," Hayden said as he was struggling with the crab leg. "I would eat like this every night. Buy so much shit, live in a big ass house and just live it up."

When he was saying all that, it made me think of Diamond.

She was literally living the high life.

Her house was amazing along with everything else about her.

As we enjoyed the rest of the night, we didn't care about the price of the bill although Violet said she was glad we were splitting it.

But we enjoyed the night, rode around and just enjoyed each other's company until we went home and got ready for another day tomorrow.
