Chapter 67

Figured I'd do another little thing of drama on top of the one we already have ;) The song is DIEMONDS by $uicideboy$

(Hopes POV)

I wipe the trickling blood away from my open scar on my forehead as I struggle to get back up from the mat.

"Evan, I think we should take a break. We never go this hard when we're fighting with each other." Brian says taking a step closer to me. Evan holds an arm out to stop Brian from walking any further.

"We say stop until neither one of them can go anymore. Hope, get up, I know you still have some left in you." Evan says still holding out his arm. I want to lower my mask so he can stop being an asshole and end me already. Tyler reaches out his hand and helps me up.

"Evan I need a break, I honestly feel like I'm going to get sick here real soon." I look over to him as he doesn't even budge.

"Are you gonna tell Jordan or Seth that if you get into a fight with them? Hope, Brian and I watched you try and take on Jordan and saw that you couldn't. Tyler and David are the tallest guys we have and if you can beat them you can take on Jordan, now come on." I groan in pain as I get back into a fighting stance, Tyler doing the same.

I go to throw a punch at him but instead bring a hand to my mouth as I run out of the gym. I barely made it to the bathroom as I threw up in the toilet. As I was throwing up I heard the sink start to run next to me. I look over and see Brian running water over a washcloth. He turns off the sink and sets the cool rag on my neck as he starts to rub my back.

"You're done for today, I say so." I flush the toilet and go from kneeling on the floor to sitting on it, he still rubs my back as I wipe away the tears from throwing up.

"You've been complaining about feeling sick these past few days, are you sure you're feeling alright?" He asks. I nod my head as I bring my mask back up.

"Probably the serum leaving my body or something... hopefully. Maybe mines like a short time deal while Evans is a long time?" I suggest. He gives me a small smile and shrugs his shoulders.

"Whatever it is, you need a break. I hate seeing you just taking the beatings from Tyler. Evan's just pissed because he doesn't want to go after you every damn time there's a gang that wants to kidnap you." He says beginning to chuckle.

"I want her to hold her own till we get there to take care of things with weapons. Sorry for caring for the wellbeing of her." Evan says leaning against the frame of the door. Brian rolls his eyes and gives me another smile.

"Yes, so have her go against the biggest dude in the whole place. If you want to take care of herself practice shooting or knife combat." Brian looks back at Evan. He leans away from the doorframe and looks at me.

"Let's go then, I'll help you with knife combat for a while and Craig will work on shooting with you." I go to get up but Brian pushes me back down.

"She's going to take a break dude. She literally just got done throwing up, you need to chill out with all of this." Oh boy, another fight.

"Ignore him and get to the range." Again I go to get up and get pushed back down.

"You know you've been having a real shitty attitude toward everyone since you rekindled with Seth and Jordan again, even to her. She's not your fucking slave, she can do what she wants without you bossing her around." I swear I've heard this conversation before from these two before. I push Brian's arm away and get up from the floor, setting the rag back on the counter.
