"jaylah" "Barron" "need someone huh?" "Yeah well.. if you aren't free, I will call Ivan" "no. I will be there. You sound tense" "yeah.." "give me thirty minutes" "okay".
Barron hung up the phone as he looked at petri "games over" "what?" "Take the damn Winnings" Barron knows if jaylah called her, she is frustrated.
As barron arrived at bronxs, he didnt give two shits and walked through the door. He could see the men look his way but he doesn't care. Opening up the front room, there was jaylah with clenched hands sitting on the bed "JAYLAH. BACK YARD. NOW" Jaylah looked at Barron showing a slight nod as she removed an ear bud. "BOTH" jaylah took out the other ear bud, placing it on the bed side table then stood up and walked out behind Barron. As they got into the back yard, Barron turned to face jaylah "never let your guard down" jaylah kept her eyes on Barron "never turn away" jaylah stood still "and never let anyone make you feel less then what you are" Barron swung a punch but not hard enough to hurt and jaylah blocked it "never give in" Barron swung a punch catching jaylah off guard and hit her in the stomach making her fall but jaylah didn't give up. "Always stand your ground jaylah" jaylah caught her breath and stood facing Barron. "Hands up. Protect your face" jaylah put her hands in a fist, protecting her face. She knows Barron. She knows he will do what he can to build her up. His actions may not be like others but it shows he cares. "For every punch you are to tell me a problem. I land it, you spit it out" jaylah showed a slight nod. Barron swung a punch hard enough to knock jaylah back but she blocked it. With another to the side of the head, she fell. "I'm not good enough" Barron kept his stance "GET UP" jaylah lifted herself up and faced Barron. As barron threw another punch, jaylah watched it and blocked it. As barron threw another, jaylah put her arm up and blocked that too. Unexpectedly, Barron spun and kicked jaylahs legs out from beneath her. "I'm just.. I'm just a female living in a world of males" as jaylah stood, Barron threw another punch landing it on her cheek but jaylah stayed standing "I'm weak" "YOU ARE NOT WEAK. STAND YOUR FUCKING GROUND" hearing a commotion outside, Bronx walked out back. "You don't let anyone tell you otherwise" Barron threw another punch and jaylah blocked it. With three more punches, jaylah blocked all three. "YOU FIGHT AGAINST THEM. YOU ARE NOT FUCKING WEAK. YOU ARE NOT JUST A FEMALE" Barron threw another three punches, one catching jaylah off guard and sent her to the ground as she grabbed her stomach. Bronx wanted to say something but stayed silent "GET UP JAYLAH. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS" jaylah used All her strength and stood up "I'm not Barron. I'm over.." Barron knew he had hit her limit by the soft tone and pulled her close "I'm not as strong as I think I am. I'm over people down grading me" "you keep your head up. No one and I mean no one could survive what you went through. Two months jaylah. Two months of being whipped and starved but you made it" jaylah moved out of Barrons arms showing Barron she needs more "it wasnt two months" "AGAIN" jaylah watched Barron's movements. She hasnt got the strength to fight back. She knows that. As barron threw a punch, jaylah blocked it "AGAIN" this time Barron threw five. Jaylah blocking four, the last went to her face sending her backwards "I'm not as strong as people think I am. I couldn't have survived without help" "YOU SURVIVED JAYLAH. YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON AND IT ISNT SO PEOPLE CAN DOWN GRADE YOU. GET UP" all Barron wants is for her to admit her strength. As jaylah lifted herself off the ground, she stood facing Barron and put her hands up "I DONT KNOW WHY I AM HERE" Barron swung punch after punch hitting jaylah. Protecting herself from most, three hit her and she dropped to the ground "GET UP JAYLAH" Bronx put his head down. He could never do this to her "GET UP. YOU HAVE THE FIGHT IN YOU, YOU HAVE THE POWER. GET UP AND STAND YOUR FUCKING GROUND" Bronx looked at jaylah as she struggled but after a minute she stood up. He could see in her movements she was hurting but she stayed standing. "You have the strength in you jaylah. Rayal, Ivan and I all believe in you. You just need to believe in yourself. Fuck those people who put you down and fuck those who don't believe in you. You are stronger than all of them, you just need to believe it, believe in yourself" jaylah dropped her head "it's hard Barron" "life is hard jaylah. Shit I have had men fall with one punch And here you are still standing. You even blocked a lot without training. You see that blood?" Jaylah felt her lip as the blood slowly came out "you are still standing" "I didn't stay standing" "no.. but you got back up and you will continue to do that". "Boss" Bronx glared at Paolo and he immediately shut up. "You will continue to keep your head high, to strengthen yourself and prove to yourself And only yourself that you are worth it" "but I'm not" Barron swung another punch hitting jaylah in the guts making her fall "STAND UP JAYLAH" Bronx and Paolo put their heads down. Jaylah grabbed her stomach as she took a deep breath "YOU GIVE UP NOW, THERES NOTHING LEFT. STAND UP" jaylah used her last bit of strength and stood in front of barron "DONT EVER DOUBT YOURSELF JAYLAH" jaylah inhaled a deep breath "ARE YOU WORTH IT" "no" Barron hit jaylah and she stumbled back "ARE YOU WORTH IT JAYLAH? HAS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH BEEN FOR NOTHING?" "NO" "NO? NO WHAT? THAT YOU ARENT WORTH IT OR ITS BEEN FOR NOTHING" "BOTH OKAY.." Barron swung another punch making jaylah fall to the ground. "You survived for a reason and it's not for self pity. GROW SOME FUCKING BALLS JAYLAH" jaylah got on her knees then stood up. She can't handle many more punches. She knows that "WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE?" jaylah stood silent as she thought of what to say "WHATS IT GOING TO BE JAYLAH? YOU FIGHT OR DIE. YOU TELL ME" "FIGHT" barron grinned "she comes to her senses" jaylah took a deep breath as she bent over "fuck you barron" barron chuckled "that's a start. Have you ate?" "No" "then let's get you some food" "are you joking me right now? You fucking winded me three damn times" Barron chuckled as he threw jaylah over his shoulder "welcome to training jaylah" "argh, I hate you sometimes" Bronx looked at jaylah and barron wide eyed 'what the fuck was that?' "men" "argh" Barron smirked "it was definitely one of you two that pissed her off" "jaylah?. Are you alright?" "Fine. Hungry and not able to eat because macho here winded me" "this is only day one. Get used to it" "fuck my life" Barron laughed as he carried jaylah inside.
"Boss, what the fuck was that?" Bronx took a deep breath "no fucking idea Paolo but I will find out" "he just belted her and now they are the best of mates?" "I have no fucking answer" Bronx walked inside with his hands clenched. Barron just belted her and she doesnt care. As he entered the kitchen, Barron had his arms around jaylah "I know it's hard jaylah. Don't think too much of it alright?" "What am I supposed to do?" "Keep that chin up and fight" jaylah stepped back. "what's going on?" Barron and jaylah both looked at Bronx "teaching jaylah a lesson" "by hurting her?" "No by making her stronger. Mentally and physically" as Paolo entered jaylah turned "the kettle is boiled" "you worry about the toast" Paolo looked at Bronx then at jaylah as her lip bled "are you alright jaylah?" "Fine" "want an ice pack?" "No I don't need that" Bronx is worried. Barron wasn't gentle and jaylah hasn't even been out two weeks. She can walk but she hasn't got the strength. "Your coffee" "toast?" "No I already ate" "bullshit you did" "fine one piece" "you worry about my health when you don't even care about your own" "I don't have shit to live for" "nor I" "need to go back outside?" "No I need to go sit and eat" "well don't think that way" "argh" Bronx watched as barron grinned when jaylah walked out with her toast and coffee. "What the fuck was that outside?" "My way of building her up. If people get off her fucking back.." Barron looked directly at Paolo "she wouldn't feel like a piece of fucking shit" "was it necessary to hit her?" "You can't get stronger if you don't push your limits".
