Now You Want Me (Starting Over)

Chapter 7

Lakers Arena

"Clear out everyone clear out" the security yelled as ambulance came to pick up the now unconscious bullies. No one could believe what their eyes had just seen to see the boy many thought of as weak so easily take down all three of his former teammates who were bigger than him with ease and coming out unscathed.

Many threw up seeing the damage Elijah did to Jr. The other were hurt pretty bad bruised face bloody nose and arm broken but Jr had it worse, both eyes were really swollen and bleeding with cuts underneath, a broken nose, lips busted and swollen with few teeth missing from his mouth. His face was literally swollen, bruised up and cover with blood. 

But the thing that terrified people the most was his fist, the one Elijah was actually holding on to. It looked shattered, swollen, purple with bones showing. He might not be able to play basketball again. This scene remained in the memories of many as they left the area.

Kyle Kazuma felt fear, he realized this could have been him laying amongst his teammate in pain. In his mind he believed Elijah was still the same weak kid, to afraid to fight back, to weak to defend himself. This was the reason why he decided to join the others to mess with him like they used to, to make himself feel better. But now he was met with the fact that Elijah had fully changed from the weak boy he knew to someone who was now strong enough to take on men bigger than him.

He saw the camera pointed at him and realizing people saw everything from the beginning to the end. He could be in trouble and probably damaged his reputation causing problem for the team and giving himself more legal trouble.

The rest of Lakers squad could only stare in shock at what Elijah did to their teammates. They were already dealing with brutal loss he made them take, now this.

Leaving the arena and getting in their cars were Mrs. Davies, Victor, Beauty. Destiny and other family friends all shocked by what had occurred before them. They wanted their baby brother back but how?

With Elijah

"How are you doing Elijah?"

Haru sighed seeing him not respond "don't worry about what they deserve everything that happened to them, of cause people are going to have something to say about it people like Skip Bayless but everyone who saw everything from beginning to end with the right mind will know you were just defending your daughter and were triggered with what happened to your sister"

"Don't think about it to much and just focus on Ari and try to get some rest. Am going to my room" he left leaving Elijah in his thoughts with his child in his arms sleeping peacefully with the scratch mark from when Smith had scratched her while grabbing her face roughly.

I kept her in my arms as she slept throughout the night. My teammate came earlier to check on her before leaving to back to their rooms.

LaLakers: Yesterday our players were attacked and seriously wounded by a criminal name Elijah Davis who attacked them for no reason possibly ruining their careers. We are calling on the NBA to ban him.

Jace: Lock that criminal up

uSER01: For defending himself. You know am starting to see how Lakers have gotten away with physically assaulting him when he was in the team. Attack him and make him the bad guy in front of the world. But it's over with everyone knows he's innocent of everything even now.

BigDullah: Anyone that say Elijah should be banned deserve the worst. This man was just trying to go home and got attacked, he defends himself now he's the attacker. I guess Lakers were not expecting him to fight back.

Username101: Lakers are cowards. Ya'll not slick tryna play victim then hide camera footage of what really happened?

uSER01: right I hope he sues for defamation and attack. Thank god many people were there recording. They can't switch the story.

Crody: they got easy considering what Jr said about his sisters rape and death then putting his hands on his daughter. He deserved everything that happened to him.

"Elijah we need to sue. They literally trying to switch the story and frame you they edited camera footage to make it look like you attacked first when you were defending your daughter. Their players, fan and media are throwing slander on your name" Haru said early in the morning as soon as he got to Elijah's room.

Said person looked unbothered as he did his workout. "they act like children and I have no interest dealing with them. They're of no importance to me"

"But they need to be handled. Everyone of them"

Elijah said but looked like he was thinking, Haru knew he was thinking about it he understood this was a big issue for him a past he does not want to deal with. Haru decided not to bother the kid any further about the issue.

A/N: Am ending the chapter here. I know is short but really did not know what else to add, but I will try to make the next chapter longer also state your thoughts. Should Elijah sue? or should he let Laker use their hands to bring their downfall?
