I sighed as i opened my eyes, rubbing my forehead. I sat up out of my bed, walking downstairs and into the living-room. As i walked around the corner, Jacob screamed in cheer, popcorn rolling to my feet. I looked up at him, seeing that he was watching football. I rolled my eyes and made my way to the couch, never making eye contact with him. He instantly stopped cheering and the awkwardness and tension quickly built up in the room.
I put my elbow on the arm rest, resting my head on my hand as i watched the football game. I could feel Jacob's glances but chose not to speak a word. He cleared his throat before turning off the TV and turning towards me. "I'm sorry..I shouldn't have done what i did. I just got weird and awkward and i just didn't have any control. Sorry.", he mumbled looking down.
I nodded, shrugging my shoulders. "I don't care. It doesn't matter.", i said back to him, shifting in my spot. Just as he was about to open his mouth, his phone began to ring.
"Hello ... hey ..... right now .... sure we'll be right over." "That was Al, he wants us to meet him at the warehouse."
"Why?", i said confused.
"Because of everything thats going down, you need to practice some things. Get dressed, we are leaving in a few.", he demanded. I got up and walked upstairs, throwing on a pair of sweats and a black hoodie. I brushed my hair and put my hair in a quick bun before walking downstairs.
"Let's go.", Jacob said, putting on a leather coat. I walked into the car and quickly buckled in, Jacob right behind me.

We made it to the warehouse, a few cars parked in the front. I got out and walked around, looking back at Jacob. "Don't worry, Al and the rest of the crew are here. ", jacob said, noticing my nervousness. I relaxed as i walked into the warehouse, the boys putting up targets and putting on padding.
"Uh...hey guys.", i finally said, there attention focusing on me. They all smiled and waved before getting back to their tasks. "What are they doing?"
"They are setting everything up...for your training."
"My training? For what?"
"Self defense. Zayn insisted that you learn some self defense. You don't quite understand the people we are fighting against. So since Zayn is still in recovery, we have been told to help you until he comes back."
"Thats ridiculous, i know how to defend myself-", i started, before i was flipped over someone's shoulder and onto the ground. I groaned, my arm hitting the concrete. "What the hell?!", i screamed, clearly pissed.
"You know self defense right? Then why didn't you fight back?", Jacob said with a smirk.
"Fine, im only doing this for Zayn's benefit."
***
I was now face to face with Al, who had the same black padding as i had. He smiled at me before his face turned hard and serious. "Okay, you guys are both about to fight. It is no one but you to. Neither of you are armed, but pretend you are. You each have an plastic knife and a water pistol. You both need to defend yourselves.", Jacob said from in between us.
"Are you both ready?"
We both nodded.
"Fight!", he said as he made his way to the others to observe. Al walked in circles, me following his footsteps. He stopped suddenly and backhanded me, but i ducked and lunged at him, earning Oo's from the crew. I fell on top of him, my forearm on his neck. I pulled out my plastic knife and put it towards Al's neck.
"Thats enough! Des 1 Al 0", Jacob shouted before we got to our feet. "Well done, i didn't think you had it in you, but i won't go so easy this time.", Al said with an evil smirk. "Give me everything you got."
"Fight!"
Al swung at me, but i ducked and punched him in his side, knocking him off balance, but only by a little. He picked me up and flipped me over his shoulder, twisting my arm slightly. I gasped as he pulled out his plastic knife. He placed it to my neck and pretended to slice my throat. I grabbed his wrist, pushing it away from my neck, but his push was too strong. I headbudded him, his head flying back. I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, a groan escaping his lips. I pull out my imaginary gun and shot him. Everyone laughed as he fell to the floor gasping.
"You idiot, you wouldn't be gasping if you got shot through the brain!", Jacob laughed, making everyone erupt with harder laughter. Al got up and gave my a pat on the back. "You're better than i thought kid.", he said, ruffling my head and giving me a quick hug.
I walked toward the crew, each of them giving me pats on the back and hugs i didn't recieve when i came in.
Hopefully the real thing will be as easy..i can only hope..
