Fighting for Love (COMPLETED)(EDITED)

Chapter 9

Scott's P.O.V.

I felt bad for leaving Bree home alone but I haven't gone to practice in a couple of weeks. I didn't tell her I had practice because...well...it's cage fighting. Which is illegal. No one knew that I did that so I kept quiet. With Mom not being around anymore I had to have a way of providing for my self and fighting was something that came natural to me and was a way to make money. Fast. Especially since I'm pretty good at it. Maybe one day I could bring Bree for her to watch. I shake the though from my head though. What was I thinking? It's dangerous. Gun and knife fights happen all the time and I don't think I've ever seen a girl here before.

I finally arrive to the warehouse where they held the fights. Grabbing me duffel bag and climbing out of my truck, I walk up to the entrance that was guarded by Nate.

"Hey Nate."

"Hey Scott."

We simply greet as he unlocks the door. All cars are parked down the street Incase cops show up. I walk inside of the building. There were 4 competing rings and 2 warm up/practice rings. I grab my gloves and head over to the warm up ring and start competing with another guy. My name must have been drawn because I heard my name get called over the speakers.

"Scott vs. Grant in ring 3."

I grab my stuff and make my way to ring 3 with a few 'good luck' pats on the back from people I didn't even know.

I walk up and face my opponent 'Grant'. He was tall and lanky, but seemed about my age though. He had brown hair, pale skin and blue eyes. Despite his height, I knew this would be an easy match due to the size of his 'muscles.' He must have been new because no way someone that thin could have been doing this for a while. The bell rings signaling round 1 and we go at it. He's better than I thought. Despite his strength, he had good technique. I could see his goal was to wear me out and then start going but about 4 minutes into the 5 minute round I punched him so hard in the face he was knocked out. The bell rang and the announcer came and handed me the money. Walking out to my truck I counted. $3,000. That's a lot of money, people must have bet a lot into this fight. Happy with my earnings, I look at the time. I've only been gone for an hour and decide to head back to Bree's house since i told her I'd be back early.

Bree's P.O.V.
As I was sitting on the couch watching tv I thought I️ heard something fall on the floor from upstairs but I shrug it off thinking it was nothing. A few minutes later, Adam showed up walking down stairs. Shit. I reach over and grab my phone and dial Scott's number but before he could answer, Adam smacked the phone out of my hand and I already knew it was shattered. I just got that one. Before I know it, I was also smacked to the floor. I was laying there in fear when I see him kick his leg back as far as he could and slammed it into my stomach. It hurt like hell but I couldn't let him know that. I blink back tears threatening to fall and he reaches down and grab my wrists again and pulls me up off the ground. He slams me into the wall and gets an inch away from my face.

"Listen bitch, I suggest you keep your boyfriend away from me or you'll both pay for it. You better not say a word to him either or you will for sure get it." He growls and slaps me across the face one last time and throws me to floor. He walks out the front door, leaving me laying there in pain and shock. What is wrong with him? Why is he doing this?

I lay there in shock for several minutes when I hear the roar of Scott's truck park in my drive way. Not wanting me or him to get hurt again, I pick my self up, wipe up the tears I didn't even realize I let fall and got my shit together. I sit on the couch and pretend to be asleep so he wouldn't ask questions. I lay the already bruising side of my face on the pillow so he couldn't see it, even though it hurt like hell. I wince at the pain and hold my breath until I hear the door open. I relax and pretend I'm asleep. I could feel his gaze on me and his hand brush my hair behind my ear. And carefully picks me up off the couch to not 'wake me up' and carried me up to my room. He sits down on my bed and curls me up on his lap and flicks on the tv. I could feel sleep actually taking over me and before I knew it I was asleep for real.

Scott's P.O.V.

Luckily Bree was asleep when I got there so she didn't see the new bruises on my face. That kid didn't punch hard but hard enough to leave a mark. I didn't want her to know about my fighting until later. I didn't think she'd judge me but I didn't want to lose her now. I mean, as a friend, right? I look down at her and see her beautiful face and realized, I'm falling for Brianne Reid. I don't deny it anymore and face the truth. What's wrong with falling for Bree? She's beautiful inside and out and maybe one day, I'll teach her to fight for her self. I smile at the though of Bree and I cuddle her up into my chest and hold her until sleep take over me. I kiss her on the head and snuggle into her warm body.

*******

I know this chapter is kinda short and I apologize now because I don't know much about fighting. My boyfriend is a wrestler but that's all I know. For those of you who do know stuff about fighting, if you see something that's wrong, please correct but I'm trying 😂. I thought it'd make it more interesting so I added it.

Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think and if I should add pictures or even continue the story.

Thanks!
