WITH HER. |Completed|

Ch 11: hurt?

Its Tuesday today. Its been 4 days now since our talk and I haven't seen Scar and even Mike at school. They didn't come for dinner at my house on Saturday too. Where could they be?

I decided to go to their house again to check. I ring the bell, no one. I ring the bell again a few times. No one. Ok, now I am seriously worried. Where could they be? Scar, where are you?

Red rink! I didn't go there yet, but had a feeling that I would find her there? Practicing for another fight maybe. With Mike? So, I decided to go check that place just. I go in to inform mum about it.

"Mum, I am going out for a while, I will be back before dinner," I say waving that her. "Jack, is everything alright? You seem quite restless." She asks with concern in her eyes.

"Yes ma, I didn't meet Mike and Scar since 3 days and I have no idea where they are, so I am just going to ask for them at few places," I say in a hurry. "aww look at my son being a lover boy" my mom grins at me. "I hope you find her soon and get them both for dinner here," she says with a smirk. "alright mum, bye," I say and leave to Red rink.

I really don't get a good vibe from this place. All these big people, fighting, cussing at each other. It's not that I am small, but they are just way stronger. I go to the announcer who looked familiar from the day I saw Scar fight.

"Hey, have you seen Scarlett around?" I ask. "and who are you?" he lifts an eyebrow. "I am Jack, a friend of  her's," I say with a smile.

"Oh, that's a beast there. Your friend. And you should go to Ace. They are homies. You should ask him about her. I haven't been here in the past week, so I didn't see her." He says leaving in the other direction.

Ace. Is he her friend. I don't know why but a sudden burning feeling erupted in my chest. I ask around for this Ace guy. One guy showed me his room, asked me to wait there telling Ace would be there in 5. I went into the room and saw a wall of sticky notes.

They all had written by people for Ace. There was one blue one that caught my attention. 'get that ass back up here homie. –scar' with a wink face. They were close huh? Now I have to meet this guy. He probably is some boxer who is like old and taught Scar sometime. Probably her mentor.

Soon I hear the door open and I turned around to see a tall, not so muscled guy with dirty brown hair and dark grey eyes looking at me. He wasn't old, neither did he look like a mentor. He looked like he might have come from a magazine, to be honest. There was again that burn in my chest.

"You must be the guy who was looking for me?" he said extending his hand forward to shake mine. "Ace Lenon" he introduces himself with a smile. "Jack Ritz, and yeah I was looking around for you," I say shaking his hand.

"So why are you here for me Jack?" he asks sitting down on one of the chairs. "I am looking for Scarlett and her brother Mike. I am a friend of their's and I haven't seen them for a few days" I say with anticipation hoping that he would know their whereabouts.

As soon as he hears this, that smile left his face and was replaced with some sort of a frown. "You are here for Scar?" he asked in a confused tone. "yes I am. Do you happen to know where she is?"  he again frowns and asks.

"Did you know about her fight on Friday?". On Friday, no I didn't. "No, I was unaware. Why?" I ask starting to get worried now. And what he said next drained the blood out of my face.

"Well, it was against Tyron. He is one of the well-known fighters. He challenged her the previous week and she accepted it. And let's say it didn't go that well." He says shaking his head. "She almost had him. Scar was a beast as usual, but he had brass knuckles on and got her in the ribs" he looked as though he was recalling a bad memory.

"She broke a few ribs and I took her to the hospital. Mike came there as soon as I called him. She has been unconscious this entire time. She woke up once on Sunday but again went unconscious. The doctors say she is out of danger. Now it's up to her to wake up." I didn't know how to react. My hands went cold and I could basically hear my heartbeat against my chest.

"Where is she?" that's all I could ask. "St.Richards" I hear him say that and the next thing I know, I am rushing my car towards St.Richards.

I reach there in 20mins and rush towards the front desk. "Scarlett. Scarlett Mac. I'm her friend. I need to know where is she?" I try to ask catching my breath.

"Scarlett Mac, room D13," the attendant says and I rush to D13. I reach the hallway and I could see Mike outside with his head on the wall, eyes closed. He resembles Scar so much. As I go nearer to the room, I can feel my heartbeat increase. She will be fine, she will be fine, she will be fine. I hear myself saying this over and over.

I reach there and Mike didn't open his eyes yet. He has dark circles around his eyes. His face looked weak. I felt bad for him. I turned and say my lioness through the window. She has a bandaid on her cheek and her hands were also dresses. A drip was attached to her wrist and she is deep asleep.

For the first time, she looked weak. Her skin looked pale and her hair lost its shine. "Jack?" I heard Mike and turned around. He looked so tired and his eyes were red. "Why didn't you call me?" I asked with furrowed brows. "You didn't have to worry about her. She will be fine. If you knew, even Jonah would get worried. I didn't want that" he says with sadness dripping in his voice.

"When will she wake up?" I ask him while sitting on one of the chairs. "I don't know man. The doctor's say she could wake up anytime and that was 3 days ago. I just wish she could wake up" he says rubbing his hands on his face.

"She will man, she will soon," I say, and with that silence took over. "How did you find us?" Mike asks breaking the silence. "I went crazy searching for you. Then I decided to go to the rink. Her friend Ace told me about this." I say, not wanting to think much about Ace.

"oh, Ace is good people man. A great friend to her." He says. "I am her friend too ok," I say protesting. "yeah yeah. I know. But seems like you have more than friendship on your mind buddy" he winks at me. "what..what? No. she is a good friend of mine and that's it." I say lifting my hands in the air. He chuckles at that.

"I think you need to go home and take some rest. I will be here." I suggest. "You sure man?" he asks almost hesitantly. "Yeah of course. And I will call up mum and ask her to make something to eat for you. You can go to my house and have food and rest for a while. I will be here." I say getting on my feet while he does the same.

"ok, thank you, Jack. And don't leave her. And call me if anything happens" he says giving me a bro-hug. He then leaves and I just sit there looking at her through the window.

I think about what Mike said. About wanting to be more than friends? Was it that obvious that even Mike noticed. Of course, I would love to be more than friends with Scar. She is the strongest person I have met. She is bold and doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks about her. She loves her brother. And she likes boxing too. Seeing her fight that day did scare me a lot. But I can't that image of her out of my mind. Seeing her In her zone, completely focused to kick ass is such a turn on. Her hair perfectly resembles her fierceness. Her black eyes could seem so cold but also could show so many emotions. Her nose is definitely not perfect. That is probably because she broke it many times during fights. And her lips. I would just love to feel those against mine. Thinking about this I fell asleep.
