(The Fight (part two))
Avalon's P.O.V
I watch as the man stalks off and Xavier turns towards me.
"I have to get into the ring, stay with Stephen and stay away from that boy. Got it? " His face was stone cold but I could sense worry in his voice.
I nod "that's probably for the best, he's freaky" I glance back at the now empty corridor.
"He's just being petty because I beat his ass in the ring" Xavier flexes and winks jokingly.
"Oh wowe" I say while pretending to swoon.
"I know, I'm as hot as an oven at 450°" He smirks.
I roll my eyes "whatever helps you sleep at night" I pat his arm and he just grins before guiding us back over to the crowd of cheering people and making me sit next to Stephen.
"Watch her please" Xavier asks Stephen while glancing at me.
He then turns towards me "and Goldi, please stay out of that one boys way, I don't have time to jump out of the ring to save your small ass" He narrows his eyes.
"Her ass isn't small" Stephen states while bending a little and examining my rear end from my seated position.
I scowl and slap his arm.
"Dude stop staring at her ass" Xavier frowns.
"Why, you jealous? " Stephen teases.
"Me? Jealous? I knew you were insane, that's not a possibility with me. now if you don't mind, I'll be leaving" He glances at us one more time before leaving.
I sigh and turn towards Stephen who has a sad expression on his face as he rubs his stomach.
"I know Xaviers gonna kill me if he knew I left you to get food, so want to get food with me? " He asks in hope.
I bite my lip and watch as the announcer calls out the first match between Xavier and someone named Chanlem Roxet.
I'm weirder out at Xavier's lack of a boxing name, what if the cops find out about this secret boxing ring and someone rats on him....
I look at Stephen then back at Xavier.
"Nah, I want to see this round" I smile softly and he nods.
"Well then...... I'll wait. Can't have you getting killed" He sits down and lays his arm across the back of my chair and another seat.
"Ooo look at my sexy baby all grown up" Stephen wipes away a fake tear as he watches Xavier walk into the ring.
I gasp as a buff dude walks on and glares around at everyone.
He'll kill him.
The cheers get louder and I cover my ears.
His eyes graze through everyone slowly and as they land on me I shiver in fear as my gray eyes stare into his cold blue ones.
He just stops, squinting at me slightly then turning back towards the announcer to pay attention to what he's saying.
I quickly glance at Stephen to see if he saw the awkward eye exchange, but he's cheering loudly for Xavier.
I sigh, ignoring it and paying attention.
The announcer leaves and Xavier and the man size each other up, in fighting position.
A bell gongs.
Then Xavier swings.
I shouldn't say swing.
More like kills him.
Okay I'm being dramatic, but he's delivering blow after blow into this man and I'm shocked.
The man blocks his next punch and instead swiftly hits him with a body shot and Xavier stumbles back for a second, slightly dazed and out of breath.
But the shot to his diaphragm doesn't stop him longer than that.
Before you now it, Xavier dodges the next punch and steps forward, pivoting with his lead leg and catching the man with a hook.
Xavier's opponent falls back onto the ground, his jaw is swollen and slightly bruising.
But he quickly makes a comeback and hops up, delivering Xavier a corkscrew punch that makes me wince.
A small cut forms on Xaviers cheekbone and I cringe.
This must have pissed him off because he glares at the man before delivering a uppercut to the man who falls over and doesn't get up.
The bell gongs and people cheer, including me and Stephen.
Xavier sends a wink towards us and I laugh.
~ ~ ~ ~
"To celebrate my babys win, we'll go and get pretzels" Stephen gushes while pinching Xaviers cheeks.
Xavier hisses "you asswipe! That hurts. "
Stephen waves it off "which is why I told you not to do illegal boxing" He scolds.
I furrow my brows "yeah that is dangerous, why do it?"
He looks at me thoughtfully for a second before shaking his head and walking to the car.
I approach with Stephen by my side an Xavier opens the door for me, to which I give him a grateful smile and hop in.
"I'm raising a gentleman" Stephen cheers and gets into the front.
"Shut it" Xavier groans and hops in next to me.
"Off to the pretzels!" Stephen yells, pulling out of the abandoned parking lot.
~ ~ ~ ~
We step into the small shop and the aroma of fresh baked pretzels hits me automatically.
I smile and look around.
I'm feeling extremely nostalgic right now.... Maybe I've been here before? Or it could be the fact that my mom runs a restaurant?
But we don't make pretzels so I must have been here before.
We stroll over to the front counter and Xavier leans against a nearby wall as Stephen waits.
"There's a bell right there" I point out the bell that has a sign next to it, reading, please ring the bell if you need assistance.
Stephen nods and rings it a couple more times then necessary, but who can blame him? Anyone would have.
A young girl walks out and gives us a bright smile, she smells strongly of pretzels.
But that would makes sense seeing as she works at a small pretzel shop.
Her smile is seemingly contagious because soon after she enters in all her glory, we're all smiling brightly back.
Except Xavier.
He's looking at the menu.
I roll my eyes and turn my attention back to the young woman.
"Hello, I apologize for the wait. What would you like to order?" Her soft voice questions, and I feel myself getting slightly jealous.
She seems so perfect.
She's beautiful, she's kind from what I've gathered, she smells like pretzels, and lastly she has the voice of an angel.
I bite my lip and look at the menu.
Holy mother of catnip.
That's a giant pretzel and I need it.
With a goofy grin plastered on my face I look at the girl with hopeful eyes, "number 15 please. "
She nods and takes the boy's orders as well.
We sit down at a random table and I look around.
I freeze in my spot as my eyes land upon a familiar face.
"Ryder" I whisper in quiet fear.
He's really traumatized me.
From the corner of my eye I spot Xavier and Stephen tense up.
The Xavier looks at me.
"We're switching seats. "
And we did.
I'm now seated by the window and Xavier is glaring at Ryder whilst Stephen is telling jokes in attempt to lift the fallen mood.
Then it happens.
Ryder spots us and an evil grin spreads across his face.
Ignoring the obvious death glares being sent his way, Ryder struts over and raises a cut eyebrow.
Stephen looks him up and down, taking in his attire and bruised face.
"Wow, I'm liking the new look Ryder, it really screams, 'I'm a douchebag'" He places a finger under his chin and nods.
I snort and cover it up with a cough.
"Shut it Stephen " Ryder growls back.
Xavier looks at Ryder and cringes, probably recalling the moment when Ryder randomly kissed him.
"I'm here for my girlfriend" Ryder hisses and taps his foot impatiently.
Xavier snorts "are you sure you want a girlfriend? What you pulled back there didn't seem so heterosexual... "
Stephen frowns slightly "he could be bisexual" He points out.
Xavier nods, "that's true, but I don't give two shits, because this is an asshole and if he doesn't respect others then why should we respect him? "
Ryder groans "you sound like my mom, now give me my girlfriend. "
Xavier guffaws and looks at him like he's crazy "she's not your girlfriend, she broke up with you" He states, crossing his arms.
"Say that to my face" Ryder growls.
Xavier raises an amused eyebrow, "I just did..."
Ryder glares, "stand up.and say it to my face."
And with that he stands up and towers over Ryder menacingly.
"I beat you up last time, don't think I won't do it again" Xavier hisses.
"There will be no fighting in my restaurant! " An angry voice calls out, stopping Xavier and Ryder in their tracks.
"I swear, you men and your hormones.... " The old woman crosses her arms and points at the exit, "out."
And that's the story of how we got kicked out of the pretzel joint.
"I'm telling this to my kids one day" Stephen muses.
I shake my head as Ryder and Xavier bicker.
So obnoxious.
Me and Stephen walk over to the car with our pretzels in our hand, because they didn't want to send us out empty handed.
Their bickering gets louder as they walk closer.
"Why'd you even attempt! You knew you weren't going to get her back! " Xavier growls.
"Shut the fuck up! She's my girlfriend of course I will! " Ryder hisses.
Xavier ignores him and gets in the car, slamming the door.
"Stupid ass... Did he expect us to drink tea and discuss the issue?? " Xavier pounds the console.
Stephen gasps "you ape! Don't hurt my baby! " He frowns.
"Sorry. Just drive" Xavier states and we start driving.
"It's late, I need to be home" I wring my fingers and Stephen nods.
"Sure thing" And with that we're on our way.
~ ~ ~ ~
I stand outside of my house with Xavier and Stephen by my side.
"I love how you redecorated the place" Stephen scratches the back of his neck.
I glare at him "I was with you the whole time"
He nods his head "what about your mom? " I frown.
"My mom doesn't usually shatter the windows" I say in sarcasm.
"You two shut it. Let's check it out... " Xavier exclaims as we walk slowly up to my house.
I open the door despite it already being slightly ajar, and Xavier goes in first.
I gasp as my eyes take in the damage.
This place is trashed.
Windows broken, tables flipped, chairs knocked over, pictures fallen....
I bite my lip and we make our way upstairs.
My rooms even worse.
Cans of paint are dumped everywhere and words are written on the walls, just the usual.
Said no one ever.
Stuff like 'better run Goldi' and 'the boys can't be by you all the time'
This is horrible.....
"Well shit. " Stephen let's out a low whistle and looks at my dresser drawers that are on the ground as well as all my clothes that are now splattered in paint.
Oh how I love the color forest green all over my pants.
Xavier glares at the writing on the walls.
"We'll see." He squints his eyes.
I turn towards him in shock, knowing full well he can't be by me at all times.
"This is a mess" I cry out while picking up a broken photograph on the ground of me and my mother.
"It's fine, I'm sure it'll come out with some bleach" Stephen comforts me.
"I'm calling the police, this is a break in! " I hiss and storm downstairs with the boys hot on my heel.
"Wow wow wow, Goldy calm down! " Xavier puts a hand on my shoulder and I spin around in rage.
"This is a crime! And I'm not going to wait for something worse to happen before alerting the authorities! " I rub my temples.
"Sure it's a home break in and all, but we've got it under control, don't you worry" Stephen gives me a thumbs up and awkwardly kicks a broken chair out of the way.
I sit down on the ripped sofa and sigh.
"What about my mom? " I cry out.
And just then, the front door opens.
My mother, is standing there with a look of horror and her purse clutched to her chest.
Then she looks at me and pure anger crosses hey face.
"Avalon Emmie Jones. You'd better explain this" She hisses.
"Rip" Stephen whispers from beside me.
