Kyle

I walked down the cold street to a not so homey home. I adjusted my hoodie so it cover my face properly. I lost again was the only thought in my head, I'll rather be elsewhere,but my Father got his eyes on me everywhere.

My scars are not from fights but from my father. He was always so proud of me until I joined the club and has always been losing. My father was a star fighter at the club and has expected me to follow the legacy. He's withdrawn from the club and now the leader of a gang

I hear the familiar tune of my phone ringing and picked up seeing the caller ID

"Hey Mitch"

"I heard there's a girl that gets paid to lose in a fight" he told me

"So?"

"We can find her and pay her to lose in a fight with you"

"Nahh"

That's cheating

"You're not cheating no one Kyle, okay" Mitch knows me too well. I smiled fondly.

"You just need to get on your dad's good side,this once then make your move"

He's right tho, I really need to leave here as soon as I can. I sighed

"So, who's this girl?"

"I'll let you know when I find her" He ended the call.

Getting home,I met my father at the porch as usual, drunk as fuck.

"I heard you lost to Queen" My father growled at me

"Yeah, I did"

"Fucking bastard" He threw a blow at my face

Mãe

I felt hot liquid run down my neck,I put my hand on it. Blood. I tried to dodge his blow at my stomach but he was targeting elsewhere. Punching on the stomach was always inevitable in every fight here, it's considered a win as the opponent coughs out blood continuously. I got hit hard in the ear instead and fell to the ground.

"Red wins" My opponent was announced the winner

I hear loud cheer of the crowd faintly.I got a thousand bucks anyways.

Magnor came to help me up as we found our way up in the dark.

We got in his car and zoomed off immediately, I hold a different reputation here and I can't be known

"Is it serious?" Magnor asked me referring to my ear,he already gave me some cotton wool to put in and the bleeding has stopped already

I only nodded in reply. Earaches hits really different

"Lemme take a look" he removed the cotton wool in it "Damn! There's a wound,it could get infected" he gasped

"It's fine" I whimpered

"No, we need to get it checked,I'm not listening to you this time" his tone laced with worry.

He swerved to the other direction towards the hospital. I sighed

Magnor has always been like this since I've met him,hard on the outside but soft like jelly for those he's attached to, he's the only remnants from my dreadful past --- I met him when I joined the club ,he doesn't fight again,so he's more like my boss here. He has definitely talked me out of  this before, but we make a lot of money. That counters his argument.
