The Quarterbacks Kryptonite... (SEQUEL IS UP)

Chapter 43

"Hey, you got this."

"Don't give up now!"

"Just a little longer you can do it!"

"Stay strong!"

"Dude! How is she kicking your ass?!!"

That's last comment was rick. And yes, I was. I was totally kicking Nathan's ass. He looked tired, out of breath. I was sweating but not as much as he was.
I had to go through some of Ryder's work out gear that could possibly fit Nathan, but he seemed huge. I finally found some clothes that could fit him and changed into some myself.

We had both put gloves on and stepped into the ring. Little did he know he'd be losing.
To... me.
As hard as that is to believe.

Nathan very lazily tried to throw another punch, but I ducked and ran to the sides of the ring, kicking off one of the padded poles and jumping in the air, landing an amazing right cross on him.
He fell to the floor and just laid there, not moving.

I thought I had knocked him out for a second, but then he opened his eyes.
"I-.. give.... up..." he said between breaths.

"WOOOO!!!" I shouted, raising my arms up in the air, celebrating my success.

I heard tommy ring the bell as the rest of the guys all came up into the ring and lifted me up high.
I couldn't help myself from laughing. Rick was going pretty much crazy, running in circles around Nathan who was still lying on the floor. But Jamey and Tommy had both walked over and lifted me onto their shoulders.

I gently squeezed both of their shoulders and they gently kneeled down and let me off, I walked straight over to Nathan and gave my arm out.
"Come on Nathaniel." I said, assuming his full name expecting a reaction. And a reaction I got. Everyone in the room gasped, but Nathan didn't say a word. He simply looked at me with a weird gaze.
It took a a minute or two and eventually, without a word, he took my hand.
Except I didn't get to pull him up.
"Heyy!!" I screamed as Nathan pulled me down on the floor next to him,
The guys were all laughing and so was I.
I couldn't help but turn to look at Nathan's face, he was looking at the ceiling and laughing, a genuine laugh.
I wonder how often he laughs like this...

"What the hell is going on here?"
Oh shit...
Ryder.

I lifted myself up on my arms and looked at the doorway to find Ryder standing there with Parker.
Parker!!

"Uhhhh... hi.." I kept taking in big breaths from the lack of air due to our laughing fit.

"Hi. Wanna explain what the hell is going on here?" He was angry and flustered.
His fists looked about the same as Parker's, who seemed extremely pissed off.
Which just made me mad.

"Do I wanna explain?" I squinted at him, I could sense the guys slowly stepping away, Nathan stayed with me though, keeping his head down.
"Why don't you explain! You just disappeared telling me that you'd be back soon!"
I turned my head to one of the clocks to look at the time
"It's almost Midnight! You jackass! Why don't you explain what happened."

I was standing up by now. My arms crossed as I shot daggers towards Ryder.
I could feel Parker looking and staring at me, trying to get my attention.
But he meant nothing now.

"I had business to take care off. Which is non of your concern. But just because I leave doesn't give you the right to have strangers over at my house."

"Our house! Ryder. And these aren't strangers. These are my friends."
I stood my ground

"They are strangers to me."
