When Odessa walked into training the next day, she didn't expect to see Eli back. It shocked her. She was sure that after yesterday, he wouldn't be back, and she spent all night worrying about it. When Eli saw her walk into the backyard, he smiled at her. He noticed the way the bright sun reflected off her blonde hair, making it appear brighter, and it made her blue eyes glow more than they already did. She was beautiful.
"You're back." She uttered when she stood in front of him.
Eli nodded. "I am. Shocking, huh?"
She hummed.
"I thought about what you and Johnny said yesterday. He's right. Talk is cheap. And you're right. Everyone here as a right to be angry with me. Instead of saying sorry, I need to actually do something and make amends with everyone."
Odessa smiled and noticed the tools everywhere. "I guess that's where the tools come in?"
He grinned. "I decided to start with Mr. Larusso. I spent all night last night designing a sparring deck. It's gonna help us train a lot better."
He got his Ipad and pulled up the design he was talking about. Odessa felt her heart flutter. He was really trying. He wasn't giving up. Eli looked at her again and saw the look on her face. He suddenly felt shy.
"Where do I start?" She asked and went to join the others.
Eli put his hands in a praying position and mouthing thank you the sky multiple times.
Odessa and Hailey were nervous about Grayson and Oliver having sledgehammers. They were idiots individually but when it came to each other as a pair, things got dangerous. "Demetri, that's not a good idea." Odessa said to her friend.
"I already tried to tell him." Demetri responded and held his hands up. "He does what he wants."
Oliver winked at his boyfriend.
Eli came over and he was holding a sledgehammer as well. "You guys ready?" He asked the guys.
"Hell yeah, I am." Grayson expressed and held the tool in his hand with excitement.
Hailey cringed. "I have to look away." She said and turned her back.
They stood in front of Daniel's wooden fence. "Ready?" He shouted. "Comin' down!"
They swung the sledgehammers and the fence came falling down. "Hey! What are you doin'?" Daniel shouted in anger when he came storming into the backyard.
