Most of you don't know this- I'll correct myself, none of you know this but I do have ONE weakness. I know I know, a bad-ass like me shouldn't have any weaknesses, but hey! We aren't all perfect.
Gummy Bears..... a sweet, fruity, candy clearly crafted by Beyoncé's own two hands. The light of my life and the only thing I'd risk my life for, seems a bit extreme but ya know these days I ain't got much to live for anyway. So imagine my absolute dismay when I emerge from a long sleepless night (after my fight at the Underground mind you) ready for some gummy bears (don't judge) when- *KNOCK KNOCK* some idiot tryna lose his fucking life chooses to knock on my apartment door! When I opened it however the coward had gone, leaving only a small brown envelope lying innocently on the ground. Looking both directions outside the doorway but seeing no-one, I pulled the letter inside and carefully opened it up.Hola mi amor,
¡Te echo de menos!
(Hello my love, I miss you!)
Just wanted to let you know that your past is a lot closer to catching you up than you think!
Adios Xx
(Goodbye)
Fuck, I thought to myself, I knew exactly who sent me this letter, and whatever they were planning for me was not anything good....
With much reluctance I put my candies back into the cupboard for later and began the short journey to school.
After seeing two of the bad boys at the underground last night I was nervous about facing them in lessons, not to mention the fact that I might see them there again tonight. Fuck! What has my life come to, afraid of a few harmless teenage boys when I'm used to so much worse. Jeez pull yourself together Violet. Great now I'm talking to myself?!!
On top of that, no matter how much I told myself I was imagining it, all throughout the school day I couldn't help but feel I was being watched. I was probably just being paranoid, but in my world if you're not careful you could be..... let's just say, not in a good position.*RIIIIIIINNNNGGG* finally I can go home, take a relaxing bath and eat my gummy bears!
Immediately I arrived back home And i knew something was wrong before I even stepped through my apartment door. Call me crazy but there was something different in the air....
I grabbed the medium sized pocket knife out of my combat boot and raised it in front of my face..... ummm protection?!...... anywayyyy, I slowly and quietly opened the door and crept into the front room/kitchen. There wasn't any major damage however the sofa cushions were tipped onto the ground, the kitchen cupboards were opened, and as I walked into my bedroom, my mattress had been turned over half on the bed frame and half on the floor.
Shit, someone had broken in but I don't think they're your classic burglar because from first observations everything valuable like my tv, fight savings and gummy bears hadn't been stolen. I guess I had let my guard down a bit and now I was paying for it. From now on I'll make sure to double lock my doors and keep my eye out for anything suspicious, or anyone.....After straightening up and finding nothing missing (weird) I showered and got dressed into my fight clothes, grabbed my Nike bag and got on my bike. Back to the Underground. Back to work.
When I arrived at the run down door I pulled my hood over my head just in case the boys decided to make an appearance again like last night *rolls eyes*. As I entered the sweaty gym, a wall of noise hit me; everybody was shouting and screaming at the stage and there was a crazy electric atmosphere around the place. Someone was obviously fighting and they must be good to create a scene like this! However the person in the ring was definitely not who I expected, it was Gorgeous Dude himself, Mr. Cole Harding. Who the hell are you??
I was very glad I decided to put my hood on because at the moment with the shit from my past reappearing I did not need a curious Cole on my hands to complicate things further.I managed to sign up for the slot just after Cole's fight ended, so I had to get ready pronto.
As the ref announced me I marched on stage and like every fight I slowed my breath and glared at the crowd. Cole must have left immediately after his fight ended because I didn't see any trace of him.
Although I made my entrance back into the Underground only yesterday, apparently I was already a name to watch. Word gets about like that down here. The room was packed and heaving. Tonight my opponent wasn't a man on steroids like yesterday, it was a woman. These days it's rare to find a female opponent so I was pumped! After the ref declared "FIGHT!" my opponent went straight in and threw the first punch. I took it into my guard and I have to admit, she had power. After throwing that punch she followed it up with a right uppercut, jeez, she wasn't playing around! I knew if I wanted to I could put her straight down but that wouldn't be any fun. Instead I gave a strong, right low turning kick and I'm pretty sure I gave her a dead leg. In case you didn't know, that shit hurts like a bitch. She backed off a little but didn't show the pain I had caused her any more than an almost imperceptible wince and a pissed off glare. She tried to throw a right hook but it was slow and weak, so I countered it with a right roundhouse kick and simply took her punch into my guard like last time. But I could tell she was growing angry. Now, fighting angry is fine unless you lose sight of what you're fighting for, you make stupid mistakes that cause you to lose. That's why I never fight angry because I either do just that or kill the person.... haha, joking??
I decided to end the fight because I had to get home for my gummy bears! I delivered my signature move; two round house kicks to the head, a left then a right. Down she went, out like a light! "Bye bitch" I mumbled "good fight" I added as an after thought. Without stopping to sign any autographs, I grabbed my bag, collected my winnings from the bar and ran upstairs to my bike.
However my life wasn't that simple tonight and before I managed to get to my bike I heard the sound of heavy boots on concrete behind me. I glanced at my motorbike wing mirror and caught sight of a man attempting to throw a slightly wonky punch in the general direction of my head. Still pumped from the fight, I spun round, caught his fist and gave a turning side kick to his chest before he had a chance to respond. He bent over in a ruff coughing fit and I stopped momentarily but kept my guard up in front of my face. When the guy stopped coughing and spluttering he spoke, "Wait, I'm just a messenger. Boss says he's watching you and that you probably already know that but he sent me anyways in case and I quote, "you were stupider than he thought". Yea, umm that's it".
Great, so my past really is chasing me down! "Dude come on, I just want my gummy bears!" I said. However when I looked up the messenger was gone. Hmm maybe he isn't as much of an amateur as I thought, or I'm as stupid as his boss thinks I am. You know what Violet? Today was a long day and those gummy bears are calling your name!
Annnndddd I'm talking to myself again.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
