Locked Away

||||||

The coach smiled at me happily. "Glad you're back, son." I smiled back. "Me too."

He pointed towards the dummy. "Start hitting."

Austin sat down, gulping down a coke. "You're mad fat kid, I swear." I shook my head, and started punching. Austin watched silently.

Few seconds later, the head came off. "Justin, not too hard,"the coach yelled back. I stopped, feeling like my hands were on fire. "Wrestle with Damon." I nodded, running towards the ring. "Ready?"Austin asked. I shrugged,"Sure."

"Begin."

The punches didn't hurt, and I felt the pain elevate away. Suddenly, Damon fell to the floor, holding his jaw in pain. I watched him yell out, and everyone rushed over to him. "Justin..good job." I turned around.

"Now, you'll be in competition with another champion." "His name?""Ray." I stopped breathing. "Ray?" "You've heard of him?" "I quit because of him!"I yelled.

"Face him, and you won't be afraid." "But..."I shook my head. "Justin, be a man." "Alright."

I grabbed my bag. "You'll come by tomorrow?" I hesitated for a second, the pain numbed, but it came back again. "Yeah." I walked out with Austin. "Dude, it's like your addicted." "I can't help it. Feels good to punch." He laughed. "I've heard." I opened the door, finding Jocelyn standing in front of her bed, looking through something. I threw my bag on my bed. "Hi baby."

She turned around. "Back so early?" "Yeah, it only last about fifteen minutes before Damon fell to the floor." She laughed, and Austin shut the door. "So, what he'd say?" I sighed. "I'm in competition with Ray." "But he's gonna kill you!" "I'll be okay." I paused. "Well, hopefully." She shook her head.

"I hate you." "Sure you do." She smiled, and I melted. "When's the match?" "In a few days. Maybe a week." I sat down.

She looked down at the pile on her bed. "I never wanted that to happen."

|She meant the part about killing him. It wasn't the best chapter. And yeah, creepy song. Kind of.|
