The alley

I stared out of the window.

"So Dodge," said Seal "Ready?"

"Yes."

I carried on looking out.

I was a fighter.

I could win.

I could fight.

I could win.

She stood no chance.

I could fight.

I could win.

"Are you doing your little, 'I can fight!' thing again?" he asked with a smirk.

I always did it. Before any kind of fight I always told myself that I was a fighter and that I could win. Seal knew this and always took the Micky out of me for it.

"Yes Seal, I am. If you want your darling dodge to lose, carry on acting like a prick. But I don't think you do want me to lose. So shut the fuck up!"

I went back to staring.

"Sorry!" he said.

"Whatever." I mumbled.

The trees went past in a blur, so did the bushes, and the houses.

"Seal?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Where are we gonna fight?" I asked.

"The alley..." he said slowly as of talking to a three year old.

"Well I know I will tonight, but surely Lee won't keep us there forever. I know we can't go back to the den but there just isn't enough room in the alley."

"I know Dodge. Talk to Lee or Han. Ok, maybe not Han because for moms reason, she's pissed at you."

I went back to staring, again.

"Are you ok dodge?" Asked Ice.

"I'm fine." I snapped "Why wouldn't I be?"

"No reason, just you don't seem like yourself."

"And you know what I'm normally like?" I asked.

"No."

We pulled up at the end of the Alley. Lee didn't technically own it.

Well, he didn't own it.

At all.

Hence the illegality of it all.

I got out of the car and slammed the door behind me - I was full in fighter mode.

"DODGE!" shouted Lee "YOU CAME!"

"I said I was coming. Why are you so surprised?" I said,

"Look," he said "Ignore Han. She's wants you to quit."

"Why?"

"She wants to start fighting again." He said with a sigh.

"But she's so old!" I said.

"I know. She can't. But she thinks that if you quit she can fight again."

"Ok. Has anyone bet yet?" I asked.

"Yeah. Three hundred quid on you so far. Vlog ain't had no takers."

"I'm going to have a quick train."

"Go for it. Knock yourself out. Not literally thought."

I walked over to a punching bag and started.

Punch.

Punch.

Punch.

Punch.

"Having fun?" Asked Ice, leaning again the walk next to me.

"Yes."

"Want to have a practise against me?"

"No."

"Are you always like this?" He asked exasperatedly.

"Before a fight I am."

I walked off to an empty garage to change.

I pulled of my unified and instead put on a sports bra (that I might have had padded because I hate my boobs) and a pair of basket ball shorts. Then a pair of trainers and I was ready.

I walked back out and found Lee.

"When we startin'?" I asked.

"Now."

It's time. To face. The music!
