Runaways

Chapter 9

"Have fun" he says

"Seriously"? I say

"I'm not gonna tell you no its your life if you want to risk your life I'm not going to hold you back." He says

"Okay" I say

I walk out and start to jog to the arena. I finally arrive and walk in. People stop to stare at me and smiles goes across there faces.

"Look who's back " somebody yells

I smile and walk back the through the hallway. I go to the door that once was my room and it still is. It has my name on the door still I walk in and everything's the same.

The picture of my dad is still there and it's hasn't been touched. I put my things down and wrap my hands I walk out and go to the arena.

"Anna" Emma screams running at me.

I smile and she's wraps her Arms around me. "Where have you been?" She says

"Places" I say with a smile

"Are you back to fight?"

"Why else would I be here" I say

"Great" she says with a smirk. "We've missed you"

She grabs me and pulls me to the arena. I walk in and I start to warm up. I stretch my arms and my legs and I jump up and down.

"Ready" I say

I tall man walks in and his muscles are so big. "Oh god this isn't going to go well."

"Fight" Emma says

I Move Forward and I take a Swing but he grabs my arm and twists it and pushes me to the ground.

Dang I haven't been fighting in awhile. I get up and try to take another swing but he punches me right in the gut.

I punch him back in the gut and he punches me right in the face. I fall right when he hits me. I put my hand up and scream "I'm done, I'm done".

Emma comes running in and helps me up and takes me back to my room.

"Your just rusty, you'll get them next time" she says

"Yeah" I say

I look in the mirror and I bruise is already forming on my right cheek. Dang he can punch hard. I grab my stuff and walk out and I start jogging back home.

I walk in a Justin is still here. "Why are you still here"? I ask.

"To make sure you made it home" he says

He looks at me and then his eyes go wide.
"What happend" he says. "Somebody punched me in the face." I say

He grabs be and takes me to the kitchen. He picks me up and puts me on the counter. He grabs a bag and puts ice in it. He puts it on my face then takes it off.

He touches my bruise and pain goes through my cheek. I put my hand on top of his. He looks at me and our eyes meet.

At that moment I realized I'm not alone in the world. I have him.
