Tonight was my last fight. I was done after this. I had found a new job, that was much easier now. It was close to the same hours as Amber's so we will be able to spend more time together.
"Good luck and be careful. I mean it, I'm not going to visit you at the hospital tonight." Amber warned. "Okay." I wined. She's treating me like a baby. "I love you!" She said wrapping her arms around the back of my neck. "I love you too. I will be home before eleven." We shared a kiss before I got my keys and left.

I was getting my ass handed to me tonight. Josh failed to tell me this was a big ass guy. It's against the rules because him and I aren't in the same weight range. He's got to be over two hundred pounds.
"Let's go Isaiah you're falling behind! Get your ass in gear!" Josh yelled. "Thanks to fucking you, I don't know if I can! Why the hell would you put me with a guy who's bigger?!"
"It's your last fight! Gotta go out in a bang right? Go." He pushed me out in the ring. The bell rang for the last round. Immediately the guy in front of my lunged at me. I ran to the right and hit him from behind. He turned around and hit me in the stomach. At that point, it was the fourth time he's hit me there. I gave up and let him beat me till I was laying flat on the floor.
It felt like forever until the bell ring and I could get out of the ring. I felt like shit. I didn't want to hear Josh bitch at me again for loosing. Of course I couldn't get away that easily.
"What the fuck was that?! Do you know how bad that made me look? I will not except that shit! You had no right to give up like that." I got pissed and started blurting out at him.
"You had no right to put me up against a guy like that and you know it! You are so stupid. You don't realize that you could get in so much shit because you broke the rules. If you think I'm so shitty at everything, get out there and fight him yourself and then come bitch at me."
"I only put you up against him because I thought you could fight him."
"Well obviously you thought wrong." I pushed him out of the way and started for my car. Thank god that was the last time I'm seeing him.

I walked straight to my room passing Chris and Amber on the couch. "Hey-" Amber started but noticed my mood. "Should I go talk to him?" I faintly heard her ask Chris. "Nah, he's pretty pissed.. Just let him sleep it off." I slammed the door.
Once again Apollo was on my pillow sleeping. I wanted to kill that thing! Why can't he sleep on Amber's pillow?
I set him down gently on the floor and lay in bed. "You want to talk about it?" Amber whispered entering the room. "No." I pouted. "Okay that's fine.."
"It's bullshit! He's bullshit! I had to go up against a guy that was bigger then me! He was breaking the rules, not to mention he nearly killed me. And then Josh sits there talking crap about me not fighting an giving up!" I sat up an let my feet hang off the edge of the bed.
Amber smiled and sat down on my lap. "Look on the bright side, you don't have to see him again. You're done fighting. And if you want, we can rent a scary movie tonight." Amber hates horror movies and refuses to watch them with me. It's the little things that she does that makes me happy.
"Nah babe you don't have to.. I know how you feel about them." I think horror movies are funny as hell. They are supposed to be scary but the always make me laugh with how fake the are. I've seen hoes real-er than the horror movies.
