"Reece, I told you, I don't want you to fight him. He's too dangerous, didn't you see him?" I asked. I was desperate. I didn't want Reece going to the battle.

And, besides, I wanted to see the concert of  the famous boyband The Script tonight.

"Chloe, don't you have a little faith in me. I am undefeatable. Trust me, I can handle this," He answered cockily. Which made me angrier and more annoyed

"But, Reece. You promised me, you'd come with me to see the concert. I even bought us tickets," I waved the two tickets infront of his face, desperately, trying to show him my point

He sighed. "Yes, Chloe, I know. I promised you. But besides the fact, that he challenged me, I wouldn't back out. And I need the money." He replied. I gritted my teeth together

And replied. "You know what? I'll go there, by myself, Reece. Maybe I can just ask Charlie-," But before I can even continue what I was about to say. Reece cut me off

"Charlie? Fine!" He challenged, "Invite him. Why not? At least, he's not busy like me because he doesn't need to fight to earn money. He wasn't abandoned by his father and most definitely, he isn't working to raise his family." He spat out and my eyes widened. That wasn't what I meant.

"Reece,-" But he cut me off again

"Save it." He walked away and slammed the door shut

I sighed in guilt. Maybe, I really, am a bitch.

"Val?" I said as soon as he answered

"Little C! Where are you, already? Reece's fight begins in 5 minutes," Val replied with enthusiasm and maybe just a little bit boredom in his voice.

Why wasn't I surprised? Reece's really impossible to be defeated

I chuckled. "Yes, I'm on my way." I replied and hung up.

I didn't call Charlie to accompany me to the concert, instead, I was supposed to meet Gabby, because she promised me that she'll come with me to Reece's battle.

I dialed Reece's number just as I crossed the street. It's past 10, already.

I can't help but enjoy the beauty of the nightlife, but deep inside me, I'm still bothered. Reece had totally misunderstood me.

Reece didn't answer my call

Well, no surprise there. You're a bitch, Chloe

I dialed his number, again. And again and just as the phone call reached its third ring. A car, that was swaying and is clearly being driven by a drunken man, raced forward towards me, that I didn't even get the chance to react as I was smashed directly into the car.

And darkness consumed me.

Reece Carter

"Ladies and gentleman, as usual, Reece Carter, won the battle for tonight. Earning a new record. Give it up, for the Reecelius."

As speaker mentioned The Reecelius I couldn't help but think of Chloe. And then a sudden feeling of worry came over me.

The crowd went wild but I seem ignorant as one person kept on bothering my head

I became uneasy and something felt wrong. I went to go back downstage to get my phone when some guy called me.
