Heart Beating Love

Chapter 7

Adrian walks into an abandon warehouse. Alex follows and sees hundreds of people gathered around a ring in the middle of the warehouse. Then a tall man that looks just like Adrian walks up to Adrian and looks at her." What is this doing here Adrian? Didn't we talk about this last week?" Adrian looks back at Alex then looks back at what Alex can guess is his dad." Well dad, Alex here wanted to know where I hurt my back so I was going to show her." Adrians dad goes completely still then nods at Adrian." Okay but no losing because a girl is watching you." His dad claps Adrian on the back and walks away. Adrian talks his hoodie off and holds it out to her." Here it gets cold in here, watch that for me." Alex takes it and puts it on. Adrian takes off his shirt, pants, and shoes. All he is wearing are shorts, she's guess that he wears them under his jeans. He pulls a mouth guard out of his pocket. Alex looks up at him. She steps up on his tip toes and kisses him on the cheek. Then he turns around and Alex freezes in horror. Adrian's back was covered in a bandage and she can tell that blood had seeped through from large lines in his back. He walks out into the ring where the light hit him. Alex can't believe it, she had shoved him into a wall. The pain he must be agony." Ladies and gentlemen we have a lovely match up today. In the yellow corner we have Tom the killer. Alex watches as one of the men who jumped her walkes out. She smiles at Adrian." Well zero we meet again in the ring this time huh? I'm going to crush you!" Alex watches Adrian stare the man down." In the black corner we have the one, the only, Zero!" Adrian raises his hands and turns around in the center of the ring." On the Bell." Everyone goes silent as they wait for the bell. Alex watches Adrian go from standing to a fighting position. 'ding ding' the Bell goes off and Tom goes for Adrian. Alex runs forward to the edge of the ring. Then she sees Adrian holding Tom in a choke hold Tom's face was turning purple when Adrian let go. Tom throws a punch for Adrian's face. Adrian ducks and Tom punches him in the gut Alex is paralyzed in fear for Adrian. But Adrian gets a punch to his side, his gut, his face, and his throat. While Tom is catching his breath Adrian throws a fist straight up into his face. Toms eyes roll back and he hits the floor." Zero is the hero! Tom is down for the count!" Alex looks at the boy she has kissed three times already and see's someone else, she see's a strong handsome boy who is lethal to the core of his very being. Now Alex knew why his fighting name is zero.
