Chapter Eighty-One Ready For The Wedding

Not Your Barbie Girl- Ava Max
Ryder's POV

I step into the ring with a small smile on my face. There was no need to wear my hood anymore. They all knew who I was now, and they gave me a fight worth my money, anyone who dared to step into a ring with me. I pop my knuckles before coming face to face with my opponent. He was a muscular man that flex' his wrists as he steps closer to me and I get in my stance preparing for this fight, I knew it'd be tough, but I didn't care. This past year as been great with Dallas and everyone with me, every step of the way. I'm so glad my life has led me to them, and that they've stuck with me.

I've put them through hell, and I'm glad they haven't considered me a lost cause yet. I hope they never do. I know they won't though. I love me just as much as I love them and no matter what they did, none of them could change who I was. Luckily none of them tried to, they all loved me for who I was. None of them even tried to change me. I was lucky to have them all in my life, just like they were lucky to have me in theirs. "Woo, Ryder." Someone cheers in the crowd making me smirk as the man inches closer, and we begin circling each other as he studies me, and I do the same to him.

Then the man comes toward me, as I stop and wait for him to get closer as he swings and I duck before punching him hard in the side making him wince and step back just as I swing but he was quick enough to duck before throwing a punch of his own that I block knocking his arm away before I throw a punch, hitting him in the stomach making him wince and lean forward just as I punch him across the face knocking him back a few steps. But the man doesn't fall down, not yet. Instead he recovers, shaking his head and bringing up his fists as we begin walking in a circle, the man staring me down.

I do the same, bringing up my fists and watching him carefully as the man swings again, aiming for my stomach but I block his punch, not before he swings his other fist hitting me in the face and knocking me back as few steps. "Not the face!" A familiar voice shouts making me look back and search the crowd. No one was supposed to be here. No one I knew anyway, the were all getting ready. "She's got a wedding to go to!" The same voice shouts making me narrow my eyes when a fist hits me hard in the stomach as I look back to my opponent stumbling back a few steps before he hits me in the face again.

I guess this man didn't care. The punch knocks me back against the ropes as I breath heavily looking up as he comes closer to me. "What the hell are you doing?" A voice asks making me look back to see Leon standing by the ropes, to my side.

"What the hella re you doing here?" I ask looking back just in time as he swings and I quickly duck spinning away from the ropes in into the circle as he turns and I punch him across the face before hitting him two times in the stomach.

"Ryder." Leon groans making me glance to him, but I focus on my opponent more. "You don't have time for this." He says as the man comes to me swinging two times but I block each punch before swinging and hitting him hard in the stomach knocking him back and giving me time to look to Leon.

"I have plenty of time." I say as the man stands up straight and comes toward me again. "Quit distracting me." I throw another punch that the man blocks, swinging at my stomach but I jump back in time and then punch him across the face knocking him back again watching as he spits on the mat and sends me a glare.

"You're getting married in an hour." Leon growls out making me roll my eyes but bring my fists up watching my opponent carefully as he nears me again.

"You're distracting me, Leon." I growl back as the man throws two hard punches one I block, but the other hits me in the stomach knocking me down on the mat as he gets on me and starts to throw a punch.

"You need to leave and get ready." Leon growls as I block the punch and look back seeing he was at the ropes staring me down.

"I'm a little busy right now." I grumble before looking to the man as he was about to throw a punch, but he stops and looks to Leon.
