"I can't wait to watch the King of Demons cry for mercy! Oh! It'll be beautiful" Bryce taunts, clapping his hands together. Mini holds me tightly and keeps me quiet as I hear Luke groan. "You don't fucking know anything..." There's another slam and a wince. "Shut the fuck up! You're the one on the floor! I beat you!" Bryce snaps.

"I.. I gotta feel sorry for you Bryce.." Luke yelps and there's another slam. "H-How'd you become corrupt?" Luke asks, whimpering when Bryce snarls and probably hits him again. "Shut up!" He screams, I hear something rip. Luke cries out and pants, but he keeps on talking. "You hurt. Someone hurt you"

"I said shut up!" Bryce shouts, Luke groaning after there's another slam. "You felt love, b-but they didn't feel it back" Luke yelps again and Bryce snarls. "If- If you don't stop talking I'll kill you!" He threatens, but he sounds scared. "Is that what you want? To feel loved?" Luke asks, crying out after I hear a bang.

I whimper and Mini shushes me, petting my hair again. "SHUT UP!" Bryce screeches along with a snarl. "This isn't how you're gonna get it, Bryce" Luke promises, grunting after there's a slam. "I swear to the fucking gods if you don't shut up-" Bryce snarls, cutting himself off. Luke gasps and groans, but his sounds are muffled.

"No one will ever love you once they hear what you've done. See what you've done. You've ruined yourself but refusing to fix yourself" Luke hisses. I hear a bang along with Bryce snarling, hearing a choking gasp from Luke. "Just- Just stop talking!" Bryce screams, but the sounds of assault stops and I think Bryce is pacing.

"You can't be a king, because you can't deal with pain. I may be on the ground, but you, Bryce, are the weaker party" Luke sighs, but it cracks and sounds painful. Bryce just screams, punching the wall. Me and Mini both flinch. I hear a thud and another groan, but this one is from Bryce.

The door flies open and a very bloody, very beaten Luke grins at me. "Glad to see you're okay" He chuckles before collapsing onto his side and passing out.

Sydney looks at the heart monitor and then looks to me, smiling sympathetically. "Luke will wake up in time. You should sleep, Ryan. You and the baby need it" She tells me. "I'll sleep when Luke wakes up" I murmur, putting my arms and head on the cot Luke is laying on.

"That's very condradicting" Sydney shrugs, but she leaves me alone and goes to check up on the men who were trying to help Luke fight. Mini is by Tyler, who is awake now, and they're both crying. I knew they were dating. I grab Luke's hand, his knuckles are bruised and there's a cut along his palm. I kiss his knuckles and sigh, giving his hand a squeeze.

He squeezes right back.
