"Pierce, please I'm trying to study." I let out an aggravated sigh as my eyes flickered upward from the white-colored pages of my textbook. Pierce approached closer to me, sliding the textbook out from my lap and throwing it to the side.
"Take a bre...

"Aspen I fully support you but do you think this is a good idea?" June continued to ramble on as we began heading into the building. To be honest, I had no idea if this was a good idea, all I knew was I had to find out if Pierce was cheating on me with Mercury.
I braced myself for what I was about to see and told myself not to fall for any of Pierce's lies. I knew what I had to stick to no matter how much it would kill me. "For Christ sakes June," Triston spoke up from behind me "Pierce is a pathological liar, how else is she going to catch him unless she sees it right in front of her eyes."
"Accuse him of the text, it's proof right there," June suggested but I knew that wouldn't be enough. "June, you know he'll just lie and turn it into something else." I sighed in defeat "I don't want to do this, but I need to. So are you with me or not?"
I stopped in my tracks, turning around to face June while Triston and I stared at her as we awaited her answer. I knew she was in an uncomfortable situation, Pierce was her brother and I was her best friend-she was being forced to pick sides.
"Ok fine." June gave in "But only because I know what whore Mercury can be."
"Oh yeah, what a whore MERCURY can be." Triston rolled her eyes, throwing shade at Pierce for being a man-whore himself. We came to the back doors of the building but I stopped as soon as I heard loud voices. Although it wasn't just one or two, it was many-almost as if it was a chant.
"What is that?" Triston cocked an eyebrow at us, and suddenly I became even more lost and scared to open the door. Getting an uneasy feeling, I bit my lip as I felt myself backing down. My mind immediately went to a thousand different thoughts.
"Only one way to find out." I took a deep breath before pushing the cold metal doors open. We immediately walked into a crowded room filled with easily over a hundred people. Everyone stood closely together with no room to spare as they chanted loudly at the top of their lungs. My eyes immediately landed on the center of the room.
The center of the room was a boxing arena, with a white floor and red ropes attached around the entire surface of it. I was more confused than ever now, I mean why were Mercury and Pierce sneaking off to a boxing arena? And what kind of boxing place was this? It was secluded and in an old run-down building as if they wanted no one to find it.
"A boxing arena?" June yelled over the crowd "Why the hell would they be here?"
"Looking through the crowd, maybe we can find them!" I yelled back and they nodded in agreement. My nerves didn't calm one bit, I felt as if I was going to throw up. None of it was making sense, none of it added up. Between the suspicious text, the second phone, and everything else, and now we were at some secret boxing arena?
We pushed through the crowd, looking over everywhere for where they could be. But with every look I took, I was scared of seeing something that would potentially break my heart. I pushed through the crowd, everyone sweating from the no a.c. and body heat being passed through the room.
