What Changed? (TTRG Sequel)

Chapter 9

*Niall's POV*

The boys and I were in the crowd with Danielle, Eleanor, and Perrie. We saw a tall and muscular guy in the ring talking with what I assume were his friends.

"Is Ryan fighting that guy?" I asked shocked.

"I don't think so?" Li replied uncertain.

I looked around the room at all the people cheering and talking loudly. Looking towards the entrance of the building, I saw Beau, Jai, Luke, and Skip walk in. I waved over to Luke and he led the others to us. Once they reached us, we all greeted each other and waited for the guy's opponent to walk in.

"Who's gonna fight him?" Perrie asked.

"He looks terrifying." Danielle stated.

Before anyone could say anything, the crowd began moving backwards a bit. We didn't know what was happening until we saw a familiar redhead walking to the ring with Henry.

"Ryan's fighting him?" Harry asked shocked.

"Yep." Beau sighed.

The man walked up to Ryan and stared her down. They talked for a couple seconds before she began walking away.

"I like em feisty!" The guy called out, making his friends chuckle.

I wanted to punch him right then and there.

*Ryan's POV*

The ref stood off to the side as the bell was rung. Chris quickly threw a punch aiming for my abdomen, just barely missing as I blocked it. I threw a right hook, hitting him straight in the jaw. He punched me in the shoulder, shoving me back slightly.

I continued to throw my hardest punches at him, however I didn't cause much damage to him. He was so much stronger than me, but my shortness was somewhat of an advantage. I quickly dodged his next punch and swerved around him.

He moved his leg out a bit in front of me, causing me to fall on my back. Chris got down on top of me and began throwing harder punches at me as I attempted to block my face. Somehow, I managed to flip us over to where I was on top of him.

I put all my effort and anger into pounding his face in. Most of my anger came from the fact that my own boyfriend didn't trust me and dumped me, accusing me of cheating on him. Looking up a bit, my eyes met the green ones that belonged to the boy who hurt me.

I hadn't realized I was distracted until I felt a solid punch make contact with my face, hearing a crunching noise being made. I fell to the right side of Chris on the mat as he attempted to hover over me once again. He was stopped by the ref pulling him away from me. The ref helped me up as I went over to my corner with Henry.

"What the hell just happened?" He asked as he dabbed my nose with the towel that was thrown over his shoulder.

"I saw Beau. Also, he might've broken my nose." I mumbled as I stared wide eyed at the blood that covered a fourth of the towel.

"Don't worry about Beau right now, just try to block Chris's hits and aim for his face, yeah?" Henry weakly smiled.

"Got it coach." I laughed as the bell rang again.

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

*Beau's POV*

Ryan took a blow to the face, causing her to fall onto the mat. I can't believe that guy had just hurt my angel. If I didn't find him intimidating, I would've went into that boxing ring and kicked his ass. The bell rang and the ref helped Ryan up as she went to her corner. Henry was dabbing a towel on her nose, I cringed when I saw the amount of blood that covered the white cloth.

Once the bell was rung again, Ryan went back towards her opponent. The guy quickly went for the kill and threw a solid punch. It hit Ryan square in the face. She quickly shook it off and stood her ground.

The two were circling the ring and just staring each other down. Ryan shoved the guy towards the ropes and threw a cross with with her right arm, hitting him in the jaw. As her glove impacted the guy's face, he threw a counter punch, hitting her in the same place.

She stumbled back as the guy began a combination, throwing extremely fast punches. So fast, my eyes couldn't keep up with what was happening. All I knew is that the love of my life will be seriously injured after this.

I quickly pushed my way through the crowd to Henry. I grabbed the rope and lifted myself up so I was standing beside him.

"Who is this guy?" I asked him.

"Chris. Christopher Williams." Henry replied.

"Why is she fighting him? Why didn't you stop her?" I continued to question him, getting a bit angry.

"This is the biggest fight of her career. I tried to stop her, but there's no changing her mind. If she loses, her career is over, or worse." He whispered the last part.

"Worse?" I asked confused.

"This guy has killed six people in the ring." He sighed.

"Does she know that?!" I spoke pissed as he nodded his head. "I will not let her be the seventh person." I said through gritted teeth.

"Don't." Henry stopped me as I was about to get in the ring. "If you interfere, she loses. Then she'll hate you forever, she wanted to do this so bad, don't ruin it." He looked me in the eye as the bell was rung again.

Ryan came over grinning lightly. Henry gave her some water, which she gulped down as he dabbed the sweat from her face. She smiled at me, flinching slightly from the pain in her cheek. Looking closely, I saw how badly bruised her nose was.

Looking towards Chris, I noticed he looked fine. He was smirking over at us as he gulped down his water bottle. He looked as if he had so much energy left in him, unlike Ryan. She looked as if she was ready to pass out.

The bell dinged, knocking me from my thoughts. When I looked towards Henry, Ryan was already heading towards the center. I can't believe this.

"I can't do this." I whispered as I quickly made my way outside.
