Fight Night (Book 1)

Fight Night (12) Re-Edited

Savannah's P.O.V

We all were sitting on the couch quietly watching the Endgame, really engrossed into what was happening. I tried paying attention to the movie but my mind kept on wandering back to what happened in the room barely an hour ago. I don't know how he can be so calm after...

"Annah! Are you okay? You've been zoning out since we've got here."

I smile lightly towards her "Yeah, I'm totally fine. Just got a lot on mind, need to get back to work there are bills laying on the counter waiting to be paid you know."

She gave me a sad smile "I know its been hard on you since your mom passed away but you need to let loose sometimes Annah. Focus on the movie, focus is key in life."

I took a deep breath and nodded

"Guys, please stop talking, this is an important scene." Chance said groaning

Both of us rolled our eyes at him seriously I don't know how Blaze put up with him.

"I'm going to start making some dinner for us," I said getting up walking to the kitchen truth is I just wanted to get away from Blaze needing space from him. Taking in some deep breaths and begin collecting the ingredients I needed for the shrimp pasta.

"Trying to avoid me?" Closing my eyes tightly I try to get my heartbeat under control and turn around to look at him.

"No, why would I be avoiding you?"

He smirked leaning against the closed kitchen door "I don't know you tell me Savy."

. . . Flashback. . . 

"Why? Why can't we be together?" Cage said getting frustrated with me pulling his hair a bit.

"I can't have you keep secrets from me, Cage. I don't even know what the truth is half of the time. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have even told me about you fighting if I didn't keep on pushing."

"Lying? This is what it's about really?" I nod but it was more than that it was me trying to avoid the fact that I may love him more than I should. I would do anything for him all he had to do was ask. "I'll tell you everything from now on Angel, please don't leave me though."

I shook my head with tears threatening to fall out "No, you won't. You know that. We've been together for six months now and half of the time I still don't know where you are and I don't care about that because I trust you. But I know nothing about your family, or your past other than that you got into fighting at a young age and that you had no choice."

He took a step forward making me take two back " Don't do that please, don't hug me, don't kiss me, don't be around me. Lets just... "I take a deep breath "Stay away from each other."

He clenched his jaw trying to control his anger "You know what I think?"

"What?" I whisper back

"You are trying to avoid me, you are trying to avoid us and you are trying to avoid your feelings towards me because they are too strong for you to handle. If you love me Savannah, then you don't need to be scared because I will always see through you. I will always see through you trying to push me away. Being scared is okay but why are you trying to avoid me?"

I clench my jaw looking away from "I am not trying to avoid you. Why would I try to avoid you?"

He pulled me closer lifting my chin up and looking straight into my eyes "I don't know, you tell me Savy."
