Hurt

chapter 22 • boxing pt 2

I think I'm gonna throw up.

Everything is spinning I'm getting dizzy and I think I'm going to faint. No I'm not drunk or high it's just what happens when I'm really about to have a panic attack.

"Macey...Macey" I hear my name being called out a couple of times but I cant figure out who or what is calling me.

"What" that's what i said since I can't think straight.

"Macey snap out of it" I manage to open my eyes and I see Cole standing in front of me.

"Matt was right, you shouldn't be here" I shake my head and I finally have the strength to talk.

"No- I can do it." I walk away and sit myself down, I'm near the arena which means I'm gonna get the full experience which is a good thing.

"Hey" I look to my side and I see a girl she looks to young to be here.

"Hey, how-"

"I know, I know. I'm to young to be here but my brother wanted me to come here" wait a minute why would her brother bring her to this horrible place.

"Oh Ummm okay?" She nods, why would her brother bring her here it's dangerous.

"You must be one of the contestants girlfriends or sisters too. I've meet many guys who have really hot sisters." I laugh and so does she. I was about to ask her why her brother would bring her here but the match started.

I looked at the arena and by my surprise I see some guys fighting and it's all cringie because blood is going all over the place and it's just disgusting I hated it.

"Macey." I look to my right and I see Cole and Liz. But the weird thing is that they're together and he was touching her waist. OMG I knew this was gonna happen.

"Sooo..." both of them look serious and worried.

I pat the space next to me so both of them will sit but both of them stared at the arena.

I looked back at the arena and my heart dropped, everything that I was thinking or doing was gone. I needed to leave until he saw me.

He looked so brave.

This was breaking my heart why was he here.... Fucking shit...But then it hit me this is how he makes money this is where he lets all his anger out, this is why I don't see him at school on Fridays this was how he got his money to pay for his apartment.

I was so distracted that when I looked back up at the arena Alex was staring right at me. I felt like crying I felt like hugging him and telling him this wasn't the right thing to do. But it all happened so fast. The bastard that he was fighting took advantage of him and since Alex was so distracted looking at my shitty self he got hit really hard. I gasped and I felt the tears running down my face.

I wanted to leave but I couldn't I was stuck in place. I saw him get hit and I saw him hit that bastard.

I couldn't watch this any longer. I covered my eyes I could barely see since I was crying so much. When I looked back up I saw that Alex won and he beat the guy up. That was my chance I got up and ran as fast as I could.
