(Alena pov)
~~~
"Dad what's going on?"matteo asked his voice becoming stiff as if he didn't want to know the answer to his question
I felt my heart race as if it was going to come up my throat.
I couldn't stop thinking of the things I'd done to make him mad or what Teo could have done
"nos mudamos a América por negocios"He stated blankly as our faces drop looking at him in complete shock, (we are moving to america for business) my heart sank as low as it possibly could. I felt tears forming in my water line as I glanced over at Teo perched on the edge of his seat with rigid posture and a blank expression , emotionless eyes staring forward at our parents "you can't possibly make us leave everything" I blurted out as my father walked towards me with a smirk on his face yanking my hair back practically spitting in my face "we will be leaving tomorrow night and there is no getting out of this got it!" Once said he raised his hand to me causing Matteo to finally snap out of his trance and grab our father's hand trying to stop the situation "don't lay a hand on her!"he yelled "it's not our fault you are forcing us to leave everything we have ever known, for WHAT!"Teo yelled
"Hear my words boy you Will not DISRESPECT ME LIKE THAT AGAIN YOU HEAR"he groaned pressing his finger into the centre of Teo's chest "and for your information it's for business if you wernt listening the first time." he mocked storming out of the room.
"¿estás bien?"matteo spoke softly as I gave him a nod and left to my room allowing myself time to start preparing.
(Are you ok)
~~~
I started packing a small bag first so I could sneak out and clear my head when I heard footsteps at my door and froze
"Where are you going?"matteo let out as basically a whisper, when I turned to face him he gave me a confused look as to why I was leaving the house at 11:55 at night.
"I'm going out to.."I stopped trying to think of an excuse
"Alena You can't go out it's not safe me and you both know that, whatever it is" his words came out bracingly looking at me with a little anger in his eyes more as if he was begging me to stay
"Teo you can't stop me and I know your just trying to keep me safe but I'm the older sibling here not you" I swallowed in, the last part coming out softer than i originally intended not wanting to hurt him, but I'm just really not in the mood for being told what I can or can't do right now.
"At least tell me where the hell your going" his tone saddening as his eyes looked as if he didn't really want the answer
"I'm... going to the"i stop looking at my feet "fight club"I mumbled not giving in to the eye contact
Before he could say anything els I grabbed my bag, threw it out the window and started to climb out holding onto the ledge and putting my feet in between the vines that had been growing upwards across the side of the house for years, many before we even moved in.
I know he is mad that I left but I couldn't stay crammed in that room with endless thoughts overwhelming my head
~~~
I got into the ring, the loud obnoxious roaring coming from the audience around us deafening my ears.
The fight is without boxing gloves, in Ground 0 gloves are rarely used and it's for a reason, the bets are notoriously higher due to the impact
"START!"
I threw the first punch into the girls stomach making her unable to catch a breath, stunning her for a split second. Yet she still managed to get a good hit onto my eye, I shook it off ready to kick the back of her leg doing my best hoping she falls, I jumped on top of her punching her face not stopping once to think, my anger and rage taking over as I got pulled off of the girl by two large men, she was completely covered in her own blood at that point. I went to get a drink while they cleaned the ring as viewers awaited the next fight.
It was then time for my second match against a girl much bigger than me, she had dirty blond hair and broad shoulders. I cracked my wrists stretching my arms only causing her to become more furious making me slightly snicker causing the girl to charge at me before they shouted start. I didn't really care i was just more simply amused by way she was so filled with anger
She got a lot of good bashes on me around the face and body But although I was starting to become exhausted, she started becoming weak with a great lack of coordination and footwork with each second that passed
I managed to square up her nose causing her to fall back slightly giving me room to jab a couple more times knocking her out cold.
Once I got out of there and got to the bathroom i cleaned myself up as I looked in the mirror to see all the scars engraved into my skin and bruises forming on my face, I already had a black eye and if dad seen I'd be as good as dead. I pulled my hoodie up revealing my beat up stomach, once I applied ointments I rolled it down carefully so it didn't hurt as badly.

calling Adrian
~~~
"Adrian what are you doing?"I said to him
"Nothin why?"
"Can you pleassseee pick me up"I begged
"Send me the address"he grumbled down the phone making me giggle
"Ok I sent it through"
"I'll be there in 15"
"Thanks!"
~~~
15 minutes later
~~~
His blue Toyota pulled up in front of me with the window down
"Get in"Adrian said looking at me smirking
"What happened your eye"he laughed
"I was fighting"I mumbled
"Why dose that not surprise me"he once again laughed shaking his head
Adrian is a close family friend, his dad works for mine so he can relate to a lot that happens at home which is nice, we are able to talk to someone who understands other than our fathers.
"Adrian."I stated looking out the window of his car
"Yeah?"he questioned
"I..I'm leaving" tears verging letting lose as my leg bounced
"Where? Like not forever right?"he asked with unsteadiness in his voice
"I.. don't..know"I stumbled on my words
"Well where are you going tho?"
"The states"
"That's not a million miles away we are only in Mexico now anyway"he said trying to lighten the mood with a small laugh
" I don't think we are coming back, it's for his business " rolling my eyes with a scoff
"Who your father?"
"Obviously!"I shout at him sarcastically hitting his arm causing him to raise his hands in defence
When the car started getting closer to the house I told him to drop me off at the top of the road so I could sneak back in
When I got back in I noticed Matteo sleeping on the chair beside my bed clearly waiting for me to come in, when I strode over to him he jumped out of the seat "oh your back"he said groggily as his face filled with embarrassment
"Aww were you worried about me teo?"I pointed teasingly at him
"Noo"he moaned "your eye!, are you ok?" his tone lighter than before "yeah I'm fine it'll be good in a few days"
"What about dad we leave tomorrow if he sees..."I cut him off from panic
"Lo cubriré no te preocupes ahora vete a la cama"I snorted hunting him out of my room.
(I'll cover it up don't worry now go to bed)
