sixty - one

After the shit show of an event that morning, the group met up in the lobby of the hotel. Miguel made a stand next to Crystal. He hadn't had the chance to talk to her since she kept dodging him every time.

Crystal sighed as Daniel talked, half listening to him, half nursing her hurt shoulder. 

When Daniel finally stopped talking, Sam and Devon walked off. Crystal went to follow as Miguel grabbed her wrist, "Hey.. what's going on?" he asks her, his eyes dotting over her face. 

"Nothing," she lies, breaking eye contact with him, "Cris... please, you've been ignoring me since yesterday. I know when something's up with you." 

I'M PREGNANT! she wanted to yell, she wanted to tell Miguel, but she just couldn't. 

She couldn't physically look at the boy she loved and tell him that their lives were going to change completely. 

"Hey, look at me," he says softly, carefully guiding her chin to look at him.

"I'm fine, just tired." Crystal's voice is quiet; she gives him a small, sleepy smile and slides his hand to the back of her neck before carefully pressing their lips together.

"Whatever is going on with you, I promise I'm here for you, okay," he whispers, leaning up to press a kiss to her forehead, which she melts into. 

Crystal nods, and Miguel lets her go.

"In this final points round, competitors will try to knock their opponents off their platforms.

Once you have fallen, you are out. Points are determined off of wins, losses, and time.

Final rankings after this event will determine placement in tonight's elimination round. We will now call up the first group of fighters."

"All right. Listen up. Looks like I'm taking charge, so we're doing things differently. No more waiting around like scared little bitches, waiting for them to come to you. All right? You go at them. Aggressive. Knock 'em off first." Johnny speaks up.

"Those platforms are pretty narrow; my dad would want balance," Sam speaks up, staring at the boards before looking at Johnny.

"Yeah, well, your dad's not here, all right. It's time for us to start scoring points."

Devon's name is called for her to perform on platform 2.

As Devon fights, Crystal cheers for her, but she keeps mixing between zoning in and out, especially when she feels Miguel's arm wrap around her waist. Crystal stops his hand when he almost gets to the front of her stomach, and she just keeps his arm there.

Devon gets knocked off, and Johnny looks at the rest of the group and tells them that she needs to do better in the next rounds.

Crystal watched Dimitri doing his fight on the platform. He was knocked out in five seconds, as she furrowed her eyebrows and turned to Miguel, who gave her the same look, both wondering how he even made it this far. 

Eventually, the whole group has been on the boards apart from Crystal and Miguel.

Crystal is up next, and she stands on the board. Crystal analyzes the girl in front of her and notices the limp on her left leg and the grimace on her face every time she moves her right arm.

Crystal smiles, before bowing, her leg immediately shoots out to the girl's left leg, knocking her off balance for a moment. The girl blocks Crystal's kick, the crystal stands up and tilts her head before kicking the girl's stomach, she falls to the floor, and the crystal smirks.
