Hidden Truths

Chapter 13 Part 2

I step into the shower the water caressed my skin in the way only water can. The steam fogs up the room and I find it hard to see.
Well Damn I forgot to turn on the fan.
I swear I'm the most forgetful person in the world.
"CHASE!!!!!!" I scream. I hear a scrambling and the door being thrown open.
" Oh my goshes! Emilia are you going to take my deal!!!" He near but screams.
" No I'm not. But could you please turn on the fan?" I say leaning out of the shower and I bat my eyes at him. Chase sighs and flips the switch to turn on the fan.
" Thank you!!!!!" I cry in a singsong voice as Chase mumbles a quick 'Whatever' and shuts the door.

Gosh what has his panties in a twist. I quickly Finnish up my shower and wrap myself up.
I rummage through my closet, finally deciding on a pair of skinny jeans and a flower print shirt.

Ashton's POV
I slip the balaclava on and pull the strings tight. I can't have them coming undone on me can I. Ari walks alongside me as I near the ring. " Don't mess up." Ari says and pats my back "Go get em' tiger!"
I laugh and continue onto the show ring.
I still remember the first time I had ever gone to a street fight.
*FlashBack*
" Ashton! Hurry up dear! We can't miss this, your father will have our heads if we don't!" My mother said playfully pulling me along the dimly lit alleyway.
" But moma I don't wana go!" I whine and pull back at her hand.
Her head turns towards me, and I emphasized that I would keep quite and go along peacefully.
" Thank you darling you only have to go this once." Her voice is full of genuine happiness.
The scowl that was previously etched onto my face gives way to one of my rare smiles.
" I love you moma." I say and run alongside her.
The crowded space has a nasty smell, and I can't help but wrinkle my nose. The people that surround us are smoking and drinking to the point of no return.
I watch as my moma shifts through the crowd holding me tight to her. " Now don't go letting go of my hand young man, someone may come an pick you up if you don't." My mother stoops down to my level " OK" even at the age of 10 I didn't want to leave my moma ever. " Ok moma I'll be safe." I say and give her a smile.
She returns it then turns to the rink.
" And next we have Pablo the Masked Shredder Verses  Christian the Mauler!" The person doing ring duty announced. The crowd cheers and places money in another mans hand.

Supporters of each person jump and cheer with every hit and blow that connects. " Don't worry honey you won't have to come to another one of these again." My mother said, I think she was just trying to motivate herself to being able to watch.
The match goes on for about five minutes until Pablo comes out of the rink being carted away by to large men.
I watch in fascination as Christian is showered with praise, and is handed a big wad of cash. I can help but let my mind wander to how that would feel, to fight and get rewarded for doing it.
I unconsciously take my hand away from my mothers and drift away towards Christian. I reach Christian when I hear a heart shattering scream. " Ashton!!!!!" My mother yells.
I run and push through the crowds not caring who I upset.
When I reach my mother her back is presses against a wall and a drunk man is feeling my mother up. " Hey get away from my mom!" I yell at the guy and start to slam my tiny fists on his legs.
"Get the hell away from me beat, this lady and me are going to go have some fun you hear me." And with that he shoved me to the ground.
I hit my head and everything goes black.
The next day wasn't much better. I was in the hospital but yet I couldn't see. My mother was ok, even though she said my bravery saved her, I think she still is Wonder Woman.
A couple of weeks go by and I finally get my vision back, but the doctors said that I will always have to were glasses.
