H.O.P.E {Completed}

Chapter 4: How Dare You?!

Dylan's pov

I woke up and my whole body was aching but my nose hurt the most. I slowly stood up making pain shoot through my back. I tried my best to ignore it and walked toward my bathroom. What happened yesterday? I pushed that thought to the back of my head started to brush my teeth. I looked up in the mirror and saw a bandage thing on my nose. What the hell happened last night? I walked downstairs and toward the kitchen.

"Hey," Mark greeted as I entered the kitchen.

"Hey man," I greeted back. "What happened last night?"

"You don't remember?" he asked as I poured milk into my cereal.

"I remember a little," I said. "I remembered how I went into the club and fought Austen but I don't remember anything else."

"Well Austen knocked you out and broke your nose," he said calmly eating his own cereal.

"Excuse me what?" I choked on my cereal.

"You fought Austen and broke your nose."

"What!" He jumped because of how loud I was resulting in his tea spilling all over him.

"Dude, stop screaming you just broke your nose," he mumbled aggravated, trying to wipe the hot tea off him.

"Just broke my nose?" I asked. "Bro did you see how hot my nose was before? I was so beautiful and now it's all ruined."

"You weren't beautiful from the beginning," Mark told me. He always knows how to boost my confidence.

"Who is he?" I asked.

"Who?"

"Austen."

"You mean her," he said smiling.

"Austen, is a her?" I asked surprised and he nodded. "I got beat up by a girl?"

That's just embarrassing man. A girl broke my nose, I mean come on. I'm a big guy. 6'7 and 95 kilos. How could a girl beat me up?

"Yep." Mark chuckled. "I didn't see her face though, she was wearing a mask."

"Do you think she was from school?" I asked.

"Yeah, probably, but I don't know who," he told me.

"I think I have an idea," I said as he gave me a look saying carry on. "Actually nevermind."

"Dumbass."

"Shuddup man." I flipped him off.

Mark looked deep in thought. "That girl Naomi though, she's a bit weird."

"Tell me about it," I scoffed.

Naomi's P.O.V.

I was at a park with Will and we were laying on the grass.

"This is nice," he mumbled.

"Yeah, it is."

Will and I never go to spend time with each other much. We were either working or at school, so this was a nice change.

"Why do you want to fight that bad?" he asked out of nowhere. It caught off-guard but it made me think. Why did I want to fight?"

"Because I've just grown attached to it. When I'm really angry, I can just go there and punch someone or something without feeling guilty about it," I told him as he sighed.

"I'll make a deal with you." He began. "You can still fight as long as I come with you every time you go to that club."

I couldn't control my happiness. I sat up.

"Are you being serious?"

He smiled. "Of course."

"Thank you!" I exclaimed hugging him.

"Talking fighting, can we go tonight?"

"Sure," he replied.

MOO

"Are you ready?" I asked Will. We were outside the club and their cheers and roars were louder than usual. Will nodded. He was about to walk inside but I stopped him. "Wear this."

I handed him a red ski mask that looked identical to mine.

"Why?" he asked.

"Just do it," I told him and he put it on. I put mine on and opened the doors. I walked to the same bench that was in the shade while Will was following.

"Sit here," I demanded. "I'm going next. And by the way, my fake name is Austen so don't get confused."

"Alright," he muttered. I turned around and saw that the fight had ended and Collins had won.

"Collins Anderson!" this guy yelled into the microphone making the crowd roar. I knew Collins as Will's friend.

"Be careful Naomi," Will said as he stood up from the bench and we both waited for the guy to call my name

"Will be fighting the one and only Austen!" the crowd screamed cheering really loudly. I was one of the best fighters here.

I walked into the ring and we faced each other. He punched first but I easily ducked. I punched and he took a hold of my wrist. He twisted it and I fell to the ground. He put his foot on my stomach making me gasp for air. His face came closer to mine, his eyes searching mine. I used this opportunity to kick him in the head. He fell back in pain.

He's a good fighter I thought to myself. I got up and straddled him. He punched me in the face making my nose bleed. I kneed him in the balls and he fell back groaning in pain. I punched him until he got knocked out. I quickly stood up and ran toward Will but a random man appeared in front of me. The more I looked at his face, the more he began looking like Mark. It was then when I realised the man I just fought was Mark, Dylan's friend.

"How dare you?" He screamed at me and then punched me in the face very hard. My vision started to become blurry. My head was throbbing with pain and black dots were appearing. My eyes rolled back and the last thing I heard was Will screaming my name and telling me to stay awake.
