LANDON

NINE

Landon

I didn't know watching someone fight can be so damn interesting and so exciting!

The sound of his nose breaking under his fist that he threw at him sent chills down my body. Then sounding of his air getting knocked out from a punch to the side of his rips and chest. Then the sounding of his body collapsing onto the ground.

And then looking at the guy won with some blood falling from the side of his lips and a trail of blood coming down his nose, lift his arm up, and giving a smirk of satisfaction just makes me want to fight too.

I look to Jaxon but he was staring at the same guy with an raised eyebrow. I turned around and looked at Steve. "So, do you know how you can go in there?" I said as I pointed behind myself.

He barks out a laugh, "kid. If you ever what to fight, just raise your arm and they will pull you in. But you're playing with wolves if you step in there. It's not fun and games, it's all about victory and someone wants it more. So be my guest. Go fight, let's see if you can dance with them." He said as he was smirking at me as he was taking a sip from his beer.

"I can go in there!?" I said as I looked over my shoulder and see a new guy coming in the ring and getting ready to fight the winner.

"Yeah. But all I'm saying your going to-"

But I didn't listen. I ran towards the ring and threw myself in. "I'll like to fight." I said while I smiled at the guy who won.

He smirked at me and nodded to the guy who got up here first. I looked towards him and saw him climbing out. I looked back to the guy but that's when I saw his fist.

It slammed against my jaw and that's when I heard the cheers. I flung to the side and I groaned. My hand went to my jaw and held it but when I stood back up, his fist slammed against my temple.

I groaned and hissed in pain. But he kept going. A ringing sound was ringing in my head and my head was pounding. I tried to walk towards him to land a punch but he punched me in my chest which made me fly backwards and knock down to the ground.

The ringing kept going and I couldn't breathe. I arched my back off the ground. The guy looked over to the crowd smirking and lifting his arm in the air again. I was getting pulled and I was pulled off the ring. They made me stand up and they pushed me out of the crowd. I was barely getting my breathing back but I wobbled my way towards the bar where I saw Steve raising an eyebrow with his arms crossed over his chest.

I grasp the bar and sat down slowly on the chair. I look over to Jaxon and see him trying so hard to not laugh. "Fûck you." I say and rest my head on the bar. That cracked him. He busted out laughing and I rolled my eyes.

"Not even two minutes kid. Thought you were going to last longer."

"Fuck you too." I murmured.

He chuckled, "I told you not to go in the ring of wolves kid. They will tear you up."

"Yeah kinda found out the hard way." I groaned as my head continued to pound.

"You just suck." Jaxon said.

"You can just suck my dîck Jaxon." I hissed at him.

"Wouldn't want to suck a twig-"

"I'll fûckin whip it out for you-"

"Stop. You're both immature. Just practice kid. These guys started the same way but they stuck with it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. I'll teach you guys to fight if you want to fight at night now. These guys do it for money. The crowd bribes on the person who they think is going to win. And the winner takes the money. So, easy money if you win." I lifted my head and looked up to him and he sets his hands down on the bar.

"Just let me know what you want. I don't mind teaching rookies." He smirked.

I looked to Jaxon and I see him staring at Steve with a blank face. "I know how to fight. But I don't really like fighting, rather sh-"

I kicked him in the leg and Steve raised an eyebrow. "We'll love to do it. When do we start?"

He smirked, "we can start tomorrow. Just come the same time you guys showed up today. I'll be here and we can practice on the ring when it's done. I'll tell the guys to show up earlier so it can be done when you guys come."

"Deal."

"Alright. Now get going kids. Sometimes cops come here and we get shut down. See you guys tomorrow. And ice your head and nose. It'll be nasty tomorrow." He said and nodded and then walked away.

I looked over to Jaxon and see him glaring at me. "What?" I asked.

"You're dumb. I don't even know if we don't have something tomorrow. And what about your friend?"

"We just have to finish the job fast and we can always get him later on in the night. That's when I left. Like early morning. Come on Jaxon. Let's see how this goes."

"I already know how to fight-"

"Then you can show me tomorrow. Come on Jaxon!"

He stared at me while he clenched his jaw. "If something happens to you, it's your fault. You wanted to do this. Not me."

"Great! Let's get something to eat. I'm starving."

We walked towards a fast food place. I don't know what it was, but I just got the cheapest thing on the menu. And I tried a different type of soda. It's called coke. It was good, but just made me burp a lot.

We walked back home and I threw myself on the bed. I pushed off my shoes and groaned when my face landed on the pillow because of my nose- that reminded me. I got back up and walked towards the kitchen and went through the freezer and got some ice. I put it in a clear bag and wrapped it around a napkin and held it on my nose.

I groaned but I walked back to the room. I took off my shirt and pants and climbed on the bed.

Let's see what this fighting thing goes too.

I'm sorry these are turning shorter and shorter but having a job really impacts this.

I'm sorry.
