Chapter 17
(Bo)
Have you ever had that feeling that something is a bad idea before you even act upon it. Well I have and this is one of them. Why can't I ever just keep my mouth shut? Why am I always trying to prove that I am stronger and better than others? Oh wait I know, because of my father and the way he grew me up. I was always made to think that no one or thing can take me down, unless I let it. I was only six when this was drilled into my head. I did let go a few weeks ago, but I can't and won't let it happen again.
I am a fighter. And what do fighters do? They fight!

"You ready, Bo?" asks Tony clapping me on the shoulder as I bounce up and down in the ring.
"Yup." I say to him without tearing my eyes off my opponent. Darius is also watching me with a hooded gaze that makes my insides churn and heart flutter.
Whoa, snap out of it bitch, heart flutter, what the fuck, you're about to fight and you're talking about hearts fluttering. Knock it off Tinkerbell. I hear my conscience say.
Yea yea I know dammit. Shut the hell up already. I snap at my conscience because that bitch is so irritating.
Just then the announcer rings the bell indicating that the match has begun. With one more clap on my shoulder Tony jumps off the ring and goes to his seat.
Well this is going to be something to tell the kids about, I say to myself.
With one more quick glance at my peeps, I turn and focus my sole attention on Darius. He is looking right at me and we begin to circle each other.
"I won't hit you that hard, princess. I promise." Says Darius with a smirk.
"Omg, wow. How nice of you, Dari. But I think i'm good. Unless you want me to go soft on you too." I say back with a wink.
As soon as I said that Darius charged and we locked up. I could feel his biceps tense under my own, indicating that he is going to make his next move. And I was right because as soon as I thought it, my legs were wiped out from underneath me and I landed on the mat with a thud. It took me a second to process what had just happened, but I recovered and sprang back in action like a crouching tiger.
"That's it, playtime is over." I said aloud and then heard cheers fill the gym. This time I took charge and circled Darius. I then shot forward and faked a left and went right landing a right hook to his rib cage, making him hunch over and clutch his side; which earned a cheer from my side of the ring and a grunt from his.
"Go Bo! Kick his ass!" I hear being yelled making me laugh.
"Alright, little one. Time to play." said Darius turning his serious gaze on me, giving me the willies.
I went to charge at Darius again but this time he saw and moved out of my way and landed a high knee to my mid section.
"Damn that shit hurt!" I said to myself as I fell to my knees in the ring grabbing my stomach.
Think, Bo, Think. I need to find a weak spot and focus all of my strength on it. If I can find it then be able to knock him down I can easily land an uppercut to his jaw an knock him unconscious. I think to myself as I am standing up from the ground.
Darius is now bouncing from left to right on his feet wait for me to make my next move. But he isn't showing any signs of weakness. I mean I can always just kick him in the nuts, cause that is every guys weakness. But then I would lose. Damn.
Coming back to reality, Darius is heading towards me and tries to land a cross on me, but I duck and apply a cross to his ribs and then finish with a rising knee to the chest. This makes him fall to the floor on all fours clutching his side groaning.
Perfect position for my finishing move. Before he gets up I'm behind him and wrap my legs around his, which makes him fall to the ground face first. Then I grab his arms and wrap them around my biceps and pull back, making him arc and groan in pain.
I then maneuver myself so that I can lift him up just a bit, to make it even more uncomfortable for him.
"Holy shit! She is lifting his big ass up. What the fuck." I hear someone say from the crowd, which only makes me lift him up higher. Now he is struggling to get out of my hold, but can't because I'm holding on tighter then a vise grip.
"Oh My Gosh, she's doing the spine buster. That's her dad's finishing move." I hear Kenna shout over the cheering that has made its way into the gym.
I look to my side of the gym in search of my friends, but I only find Kenna and Brant standing at my side of the ring. I then look around the rest of the crowd for Arla and Tony and still don't find them. But right as I'm turning my head back in Kenna and Brant's direction, the cheering is broken and a loud noise shots threw the gym silencing everyone, then after two seconds another but this one more closer. This time people start to duck and scream and try to get out of the front doors in a rush of panic. It takes me a second to realize what those sounds were. But as soon as I do I drop Darius to the floor and shot out of the ring and head to where I heard the noise coming from. I then hear screams of help me, coming from the girls bathroom and barge right in.
As I looked at the scene before me my guess was confirmed. Before me lies Tony and Arla, both in their own pool of blood, with a whole in their chest, indicating that those noises were of a trigger on a gun being pulled.
"Bo, help. It hurts so much." I hear Arla choke out. It takes me a second to see that she is bleeding from her mouth, nose, left shoulder and gash in her eyebrow. I look at her and then to Tony's unmoving body.
That is enough to make me spring into action. I run over to Tony's side and start to look for a pulse. The only thing is I can't seem to find one. I check his wrist, neck and just as im about to check his heart I realize that he has a whole right where his heart is.
Oh My God...Tony...No...this can't be happening...
"Bo, what is wro- what the fuck?" I hear someone say from behind me but am in too much of a shock to turn around a look.
"Tony's dead. I can't find a pulse." I say and keep trying to search for one.
I can feel tears gather in my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. Now's not the time to cry. Now's the time to spring into action. After trying several more times to get a pulse from Tony, I get nothing and give up. I then turn around and give Arla my attention, just as I hear someone cry out and gasping from behind me.
"Arla, babe. can you hear me?" I ask her grabbing her wrist and finding her pulse. It there but it's faint. Which means that we need to get her to the hospital now.
"The ambulance is on their way. You're going to be alright, Arla." I hear Darius say off to her right.
"B-B-Bo..." I hear Arla choke out again, sending her into a coughing fit.
"What is it Ari?" I answer.
"They- they f-found m-me!" she says and then passes out.
Oh God......
✌The End✌
