Bad Company.

8.

Kylie's POV

I decided to go with George, despite my friends warming. I think that he might be nice guy, but he puts on this though bad boy act as a show to make people afraid of him. 

I walked over to his Mercedes and got in with him.

''Thanks for coming with me, love''  he said

''No problem.. so why do you box? Just for fun?'' I asked.

''That, and also for the money'' he told me as he started driving.

''Oh'' I replied.

''Yep, sometimes we get a lot of money and sometimes not that much. It just depends on the person I'm fighting with and how good they are'' He explained to me. 

''What do you mean?'' I asked him.

''Jaymi and I, we're a team. I fight and he gets the matches. You know, sets them up for me. And in the end, we split the money'' He said.

''Oh, okay'' I replied.

We finally got to the boxing arena and got out of the car. Walking inside, I saw a lots of men, like I expected. It was big, dark and loud in the arena. Tons of men were cheering for the two man in the fighting ring. George lead me to the backroom, where' he put on his boxing gloves and took of his shirt. His chest had a lots of tattoo's on it. Jaymi soon walked in, but groaned when he saw me.

''Mate, why did you bring her here? She's gonna distract you'' Jaymi said.

''No, she won't. I'll be fine, just relax. Who am I fighting today?'' George asked him, while warming up by stretching and punching a punching  bag. 

''Micheal Swordsmen'' Jaymi told him.

''He'll be easy'' George replied confidently. 

''Cocky as always, Shelley'' Jaymi muttered before walking back to the mat, starting up a chat with the referee.

George stopped warming up and went into the ring. I went and sat down on one of the benches, where I got a good view of him. They called up George and I cheered. And they called a other guy up, who seemed bigger and much stronger than George. But George seemed confident, which surprised me. They shook hands, before the ball rung and the fight began.

It was a normal fight, neither of them winning, until George took a swing at Micheal, but he blocked it easily and retaliated with a swift elbow to the ribs. George stumbled back and Michael punched him in the nose, making George lean back against the railing for support. Micheal kept pounding George and I felt useless just standing there and watching him get beat up like this. So I did the only thing I could do. I stood up and yelled, ''GO GEORGE''

George's POV

I don't understand what was wrong with me today. Normally, I would have this fight easily, but today it seemed like something was holding me back. I could hear Jaymi from the sideline, yelling at me to retaliate, but I couldn't . I felt weak, which never happens to me. Just when I thought I had totally lost the fight, I heard a feminine voice scream, ''GO GEORGE'' I looked over and saw Kylie, standing there on one of the benches, cheering me up. 

Suddenly, something happened inside of me, I pushed Michael off and began to punch him over and over, until he was on the floor, unconscious.

The ref blew the whistle and I smiled in victory, while holding my arms up. I heard Jaymi cheer and few people in the crowd, while other booed. But I didn't care about them. All I cared about was Kylie, smiling and cheering for me, as I excited the ring.

She gave me a hug as we entered the back room and I started to clean myself up. I put mu shirt back on and put away my boxing gloves, while washing my face.

Jaymi came in again with a wad of cash. He handed he half of it and I smiled, thanking him.

''What happened out there mate? You normally don't get banged like that'' he told me.

I just shrugged and replied, ''Be glad I won, Hensley'' 

''It was because of her, wasn't it?'' He countered.

I rolled my eyes, ''Leave her out of this. She helped me win! She was cheering me on, so just stop!"' 

He glared, before leaving and I grabbed Kylie's hand, getting ready to leave. She slowly pulled back, ''I'll walk'' 

''Why?'' I asked

''You don't have to drive me home. I'll be fine. Stay here, relax and hang with your friends'' She told me.

''Just let me drive you'' I said getting annoyed.

''I said I'll be fine'' She replied, while walking off. I  grabbed her hand and spun her around. 

''I'm driving you home, whether you like it or not'' 

''Stop'' she told me.

I ignored her and lead her to my car, while opened the door for her. She hesitated going in, but soon did. Making me annoyed for having to wait. I shuffled over to the other side, getting in and slammed my door. She flinched, making me look over.

''What?'' I asked.

''Nothing'' she replied softly.

I rolled my eyes, clenching my jaw while starting the car and driving off. The car ride was filled with awkward silences, resulting me sighing. Once we got to her house, she opened her door and got out.

''Thanks for the ride'' She said.

''That wasn't too hard, was it?'' I replied while smirking.

She looked down, before walking inside without looking back once.
