Our dirty little secret

part 5

Marly's pov----

I bounced around Ashley's body victoriously. I had absolutely annihilated her inside that ring and on top of that Josh's sister was standing right in front of me staring at me with those eyes. She looked so fucking beautiful. I wiped my mouth off and climbed out of the ring. I felt amazing about what I had just done.

Ashley was on the ground in the corner getting cleaned up but I had no regrets. I earned that fair and square. I slipped on my hoodie while Josh iced my face. I wasn't focused on anything until I heard him say"Breanna get over here now." Was that her name? It was pretty. It fit her.

I could see a face emerge from the crowd behind him. It was Breanna. she looked terrified. "Hand me that bag" Josh demanded and she did exactly that. She seemed as if she was ready to go as soon as possible. Josh tossed the bag at me and threw the ice he was using on my face on the ground.

"What's this?" I was curious and didn't wanna open the bag in case he just needed me to hold it. "5 grand, they want you to fight for them. That's yours and if you decide to come back next weekend and do what you just did again, it'll be triple that." Holy fuck. Who were "they" and were they paying people this much just to beat each other up?? This was all I needed.

I looked at Breanna and could tell she was far from okay. Her eyes were filled with pity and sorrow. Did I upset her? I didn't get a chance to ask because she stormed outside of the building and I wasted no time to get up and chase after her. I needed to know what was wrong.

-----------------------------

"Breanna wait please!" I tried to grab her wrist but she tugged away from me. "What the fuck was that marly??" A fight obviously... she came to this, she knew exactly what it was. "Oh come on Breanna it was exactly what it seemed like. Why are you upset?" I figured I shouldn't have asked that because it took five seconds before her right palm landed on my cheek. "You're a fucking idiot, she could've killed you in there! did Josh talk you into this?!?"

I doubt Ashley would've killed me. But beyond that I was stunned. Did she just slap me.? I felt tears fill my eyes, not because it hurt but because somehow I had upset her. I barely knew her and I don't know why I cared about her feelings but I did. I turned around to walk off but felt bre spin me back around to face her once again.

She pulled me into a tight hug. "Oh baby.. your face looks horrible." Did she just call me baby? I failed to process anything that Breanna said to me after that, stuck on the words that had just left her mouth. My face was cuffed in both of her palms and she was staring at me. She looked disappointed. I quickly noticed she was talking and snapped out of it.

"Marly are you hearing me?? Why would you agree to that." Because I needed the money, I wasn't telling her that tho. "Fun." really marly??Is that all you could come up with?? I'm screwed. I watched rage fill breanna's face once again as she stormed off. Before I could grab ahold of her again Josh came out of the building.

"See you tomorrow for practice, make sure you ice that eye." Yea... I will. "Wait Josh-" By the time I noticed he had dropped his phone he was already pulling off, I'll just return it tomorrow afternoon before training.

On the way home I couldn't help but think about why me fighting had upset Breanna so much. If she was in my spot she would've done the same thing. My mind was coming up with every possible outcome of this situation and it was not helping. I was on the road and I needed to focus on getting home safely.

-----------------------

I entered my house quietly, hoping my aunt wasn't awake to see me this way. I hated disappointing her. I closed the door and felt for anything to grab. It was dark and I could hear the ac blowing, assuming she was sleeping I went upstairs to my room.

I didn't think any of this out, seeing that morning was hours away and soon my aunt would see my eye soon and demand answers. And so would everyone else, I couldn't just tell people I was fighting illegally for money. I'll figure something out, its late and I have school in the morning.

2:00 am--------------

I found myself sitting in my room staring at the wall all night, I couldn't stop thinking about breanna. I wanted to apologize but then again, maybe she didn't want to hear from me. Or maybe she expected me to chase her again and that's why she ran away a second time.

I quickly remembered I had Josh's phone and reached for my bag to grab it. No pin, what a strange guy. Who doesn't have a password on their phone.? I scrolled through the apps and quickly found "find my". Just as I expected breannas location was right on top.

It wasn't long before I was on my bike zipping down the street, praying there was no cops out here because I have no helmet and I'm well over the speed limit. I need to get to her.

As I turned down the road I listened to my phone announce "You have now arrived at your location." I slowed down on the wet pavement and noticed the house was much larger than I expected with many windows covering the front and sides.

I had no clue which room was breannas. God I hope she doesn't think I'm a stalker. This is all just a big coincidence. I creeped around the side of the house and looked into every window. I noticed one room at the top right floor on the side of the house with pink lights and hoped for the best.

Luckily her window was right next to a oak tree which seemed climbable. I slowly made my way up the tree and checked the location one more time, making sure this was the right house before I knocked on some girls window.

God please let this go right.
