Dark (The Past Never Changes)

Chapter 17

Kaylee's P.O.V.

"Bree! How many tickets do you need?" I ask before I leave for my fight.

"15." She smiles at me.

"What for who?" I ask.

"Me, Devin, Mariah, Bailey, Divine, Raven, Harry, Tony, Michael, Niall, Zayn, Luke, Calum, Louis, and Liam. And is Ashton coming?" She asks.

"Damn, everyone is coming. And no.. I uh, haven't told him yet." I look down.

"Well he'll find out soon." She sighs. I nod and hand her the tickets. I still have four left and they'll go to my mom, step dad, brother, and step sister.

"Alright well I'll see you later." I say and hug her.

"Good luck." She's says before I leave.

Bree's P.O.V.

"Guys hurry." I yell to Devin and Mariah.

We're having a surprise party for Kaylee after her fight. We already know she's gonna win so it doesn't matter anyways.

"We're trying!" Mariah whines back.

"Try harder!" I tease them.

"Hey! Why don't you put up decorations?" She asks.

"Because I'm cooking food." I remind her.

"How do we even know she'll win?" Devin asks.

"Because she's Kaylee." I say.

"You have a point." She nods and gets back to work. These girls man, I swear.

Kaylee's P.O.V.

"Kaylee, got five!" Mark yells from the locker room door.

I don't answer back I just take a deep breath and smile to myself. I've been preparing for this fight for almost two months. I mean technically since the last fight I had, but I've been training for this fight in particular.

I put my stuff back in my locker and sigh. I take a deep breath again and head out. I can hear a lot of talking and my nerves start to kick in. I put my rob on and head towards my side of the ring. I can hear my name being called and a lot cheers, but I choose to ignore it. I meet with Mark before getting inside the ring.

"You have nothing to worry about. I can already tell you're smarter than her. You've been training for this a lot longer than she has. You'll do fine." He says. I nod and hop through the ropes of the ring.

I begin to jump up and down to keep my heart rate up. I look at my opponent and almost laugh. She's skinnier than me with green hair and tattoos all over her body. She has a little bit of muscles in her stomach and she looks like she doesn't want to be here.

I look around the crowd and I see Bree, Devin, and Mariah, smiling at me. They wave and I give them a small smile. I turn back to see a ref setting up. He grabs the microphone and introduces us. The excitement in the crowd is definitely stronger at the mention on my name than hers.

Mariah's P.O.V.

I don't really know a ton about boxing. I just see Kaylee punch the other girl a couple times before the guy steps in and breaks them up. After the other girl doesn't get back up the ref declares Kaylee's win. I was so lost and everyone else was perfectly in tune with what was going on. I couldn't even comprehend where to go after.

We see Kaylee go into the locker room after she won. We decide to wait outside for her.

"Okay, so we will go with Kaylee. I'll take the long way home. Harry, here is the key to our house. Make sure everyone is hiding when we show up." Bree says, handing a key to Harry.

"Got it babe." He smirks at her and kisses her.

"So, I'll see you there?" Michael asks me.

"Uh yeah." I nod and look at him awkwardly. Awe gosh, he is so angel like.

"K cool." He smiles and kisses my cheek. I swear I feel heat rise and tingles flow down my spine. I smile at him like an idiot and see the rest of the group of people walk away, but I'm only focused on watching him. The way he walks is even sexy, what is wrong with me? I need help.

Kaylee's P.O.V.

I walk out of the locker room after my shower feeling pretty good. I head to the front to meet with my friends but Mark grabs my forearm.

"Don't forget my son wants to meet you." I pull my arm away from him respectfully and nod, following him to his office. I walk in and practically freeze immediately. Ashton.

"Ashton this is Kaylee, my trainee." He pats him on the back gently. He turns around an his eyes go wide.

"Kaylee?" He tilts his head at me.

"Hi." I say shyly. He gives me a big hug and his dad, I mean Mark looks confused.

"You know each other?" Mark asks.

"Yeah, we uh, met through Liam." He looks at him awkwardly.

"Oh. Well then." Mark leaves the office.

"You're a boxer? I can't believe you were the one my dad has been training this whole time." He smiles wide. "Why didn't you tell me?" His smile fades. I look down.

"I-I uh, don't know." I say quietly.

"I would never think you're manly." He grabs my face and makes me look at him. I pull away and mumble thank you.

"You left me on the couch the other night." He teases.

"I wasn't just going to sleep there. I barely know you." I laugh.

"The next time I fall asleep with you in my arms, and wake up with out you, you're going to be in big trouble." He laughs and winks at me.

"Oh so you think there will be a next time?" I mock.

"I know there will be a next time." He looks at me seriously.

"What makes you think that?" I ask.

"I'm a fortune teller." He smiles.

"Oh, really. Let me ask. What does my future hold?"

"You're gonna kick a shit ton of girls asses. Then make millions. Fall in love with me, marry me, and one day we'll have kids." He winks. What is up with him an winking at me?

"Oh my gosh. Woah, woah, woah. We just met and you're talking about marriage? Isn't that the girls job?" I laugh and head towards the office door.

"I was kidding, but I do really want to get to know you and see we're it goes from there." He grabs my forearm.

"Then come over." I wink mockingly and head towards the front.

"Kaylee!" Bree turns around and hugs me. Then she pulls away and looks from me to Ashton, back to me.

"You told him?" She whispers.

"He's my trainers son." I give a forced smile and she nods and heads toward the car.

Ashton tried to grab my hand, but I put it in my hoodie pocket. He reaches in and grabs it anyways. I shake it off and look away. We get in the car and I sit in the passenger seat, to avoid sitting next to Ashton. Not because I don't think he's incredibly hot, trust me, I do. But because he's getting close already, and the pace is a little too fast for my liking.

He kisses my cheek before getting into the back and I blush and little and look out the window. I can basically feel Bree's smirk as she pulls out of the parking lot. I can't believe her some times. I smile as I look at my phone to see a text from Ashton saying 'got you.' I don't reply just smile a little and look out the window.
