Runaways

Chapter 4

After a couple of hours of working at the gym I decide to go home. I grab my stuff and I start for the walk home since my mom took my car from me. I walk outside and I see Justin sitting on a bench out front.

He looks at me then starts to get up and walk towards me. I run back inside and I hear him yell "Anna" I keep running to the bathroom and I go in there and lock the door.

"Anna" I hear him say at the door.

"Why can't you just leave me alone?" I say.

"I know what your hiding anna" he says.

"I'm not hiding anything" I say

"Yes you are " he says

I unlock the door and he's standing there looking at me with his grey eyes. "Stay away from me" I say "I'm not hiding anything".

I walk away and walk out the door. When I get home my mom isn't home. she left a note on the door saying.

" I won't be home tonight, but I left you some food. See you tommorow sweetie."

Love,
Mom

I put the note down and my phone rings. "Hello" I say. "There's a fight tonight, are you gonna come"? Emma says.

"I'm on my way" I say

"Yay" she screams "Bye"

"Bye" I say

I walk back out and I run all the way to the arena. Emma is standing outside waiting for me. "Your here" she says giving me a hug.

"So tonight you will be fighting against Peyton" Emma says.

"sounds good to me" I say

"Let's go get you ready then" she says

We walk Inside it's the same as always. The smell of sweat and black walls. The seats are dark red and are facing the arena. The arena has a fence around it with the red floor inside it.

This is my home where I really belong.
I walk down the hall to my training room. I walk inside and throw my stuff down. I change into my shorts and a tank top. There's a picture of me and my dad framed against my wall.

"Anna are you ready yet"? I hear emma say at my door.

"Yeah just one second" I say

" Okay hurry up we have to get you warmed up" she says.

I wrap my hands and grab my gloves and I look at the picture of me and my dad one more time. "This is for you daddy" I whisper.

I walk out and Emma waiting for me. "About time" she says. "Sorry" I say. We walk back down the hallway and enter the arena. People are already coming in and getting there seats.

I stretch my arms and legs and I do some warm ups. It's finally time for the fight. Everybody is standing and cheering. It makes me smile to see everybody having fun. Peyton walks in and gives me a death glare.

We get in our positions and then out of nowhere someone yells stop. Everybody goes silent and there looking at someone. I look at where there looking at and it's Justin and my mother's right beside him.
