callyha Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Thank you for the comments guys! I hope this chapter is okay, its be redone that many times now lol. Anyway for you comment-ers Chapter 22 Charlie stood in clean sight of the ring. Brax looked out through the small gap in the door and saw Charlie looking just as nervous as he was. He then looked round a little further and saw Angelo placing a wad of cash into his breast pocket, smiling evily as he used his other hand to shake the mans hand. Swallowing back his worry, Brax tried to see the man he was up against; he saw the sea of people crowd round the ring, making his imediate future seem much more worse. He then caught a glimpse of a young boy and girl walk toward the open door near the balcony; obviously trying to reach the supply of fresh, clean air as they both seemed to relish the space. Shaking his head, Brax re-entered the room where he was. He looked the security camera screens on the desk and saw Charlie shifting her weight from either foot; a nervous habit Brax had figured she had. A knock on the door shocked him away from the screens "You ready?" Angelo asked, the sly grin on his face indicated he didn't care about the safety of Brax anymore, not after witnessing the connection he and Charlie had "Remember; win this, win me the money, you get your pay then you get the hell out of here" Brax nodded his head as he followed Angelo out into the room. The sound of the music and the crowd vanished under the sound of his heart, which beat loudly in his ears as he walked toward the ring, seemingly in slow motion. He moved his head round, looking to see who was watching and if the boy he saw was Casey. He never found the boy and girl, but he found that his eyes met the one person he wanted them to meet with; Charlie. Her eyes showed him love as well as the panic and worry she was feeling for him. Brax never took his eyes off her as he was led into the ring. His right arm grasped in the hand of a man three inches shorted than Brax himself. The mans voice was muffled to Brax, yet completely loud to the ears of everyone in the club. Cheering was heard in the club, but not by Brax. He became deaf to the things around him, he became blind to the obvious reality that was about to hit him; at any moment, Brax hoped he would wake from what was a living nightmare, no such luck. A door opened revealing a heavy-set man. Brax's eyes widened as he saw the vast difference he and the man had; Brax was a supermodel in comparison. Charlie's fears surfaced once more as she watched the man walk toward the ring; his false teeth been thrown to his trained. Charlie had to place her hand over her mouth, the only thing she could think of to keep the sound of her retching silent. Unable to bring herself to watch the beginning of the fight, Charlie fought her way through the crowd of people, just as the bell sounded and a roar of cheers came from the people stood watching. Charlie placed her hands over hear ears as she tried desperately to escape this nightmare. Casey and Ruby looked on in horror as the blood dripped from Brax's eyebrow; two hits in and blood was already been shed. Ruby brought her hand to her mouth, physically sickened by the scene she was watching: How could people see this as a sport? she thought to herself as she watched Brax punch the man hard in the jaw; the man was knocked back by the blow, but maintained his balance and crept closer to Brax, ready to strike him once more "I can't watch this" Ruby said to Casey before she walked away from him and tried to get back through the crowd toward the door. ~*~ Charlie sat at one of the many empty tables in the Surf Club: the loud music from above had clearly driven any remaming customers away, much to the annoyance of Marilyn, who was walking around, cleaning up the last few things when Charlie wandered down the stairs, getting away from the scene upstairs. Her half-drunk cup of juice lay before her, her hands placed around either side as she stared blankly at the purple reflection of herself. Hating what looked back at her, Charlie brought the cup to her face and drank the remaing juice before she picked at the cup; something to keep her mind off what was happening to Brax, only a matter of feet away from her. "I take it you didn't like what you saw either?" A voice said from behind Charlie. Charlie jumped ever so slightly as she turned to face the voice "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you jump" "No, its fine" Charlie replied "I thought I was on my own, thats all" "Oh" The girl said as she looked away "I'm Ruby" "Charlie" Charlie replied with a slight smile "You here with someone?" Charlie asked as Ruby sat on the chair opposite her "I came with my friend Casey, he's still up there watching. I don't know how he does it, its sick to watch all that fighting" "Shouldn't you be at home studying or something?" Charlie asked, trying not to come across as been rude "I have been given some time off schol whilst I sort some personal stuff out" Ruby replied "Anyway, why is someone like you watching a fight here?" "Its complicated" Charlie replied "Complicated is my favourite thing in the world" Ruby smiled "Come on, I have no one to talk to, its freezing outside and there could be someone worse sitting opposite you trying to talk" "I suppose" Charlie smiled "So, why are you watching the fight?" "I'm not" Charlie began "A very, very good friend of mine is been made to fight, and the man who is making him fight is my boyfriend" Charlie continued, feeling ashamed to verbally admit her connection to Angelo "Casey -who I came with- his older brother is the one who is fighting" Ruby revealed "Why does everything have to be so complicated?" "I thought you said complicated was your favourite thing in the world" Charlie smiled "There's complicated, and then there is complicated" Ruby replied "This happens to be the worse kind" "Things shouldn't be complicated for you. Look at you, you've got nothing to worry about, except for doing well in school -but you can always repeat. Where as when you get to my age, there is no going back. You've made your bed and so, you have to lie in it" "You don't seem to be that old" Ruby replied "I wouldn't put you any older than mid twenties" "Aw, aren't you sweet" Charlie smiled "If I could, I'd go back to been a teenager again, only thirteen. After that, things went sour" Charlie looked to Ruby, her big eyes looking back to her "You seem like a smart girl. Don't be led astray, don't waste one moment of your life" "You sound like a fortune cookie" Ruby giggled "I know I do, I said that to my dad whenever he said something like that to me but, you know what? everything he ever said was right -well, the fortune cokkie sayings at least" "I take it your dad is dead?" Ruby asked "Just because of how you're talking about him" "Yea, he died when I was fourteen" "I'm sorry" Ruby said "Nah, it was a long time ago" Charlie replied with a tear in her eye "Yea, but still" Ruby said bfore she and Charlie looked to the ceiling after hearing cheers come from above "I can't believe Brax is doing this" Charlie buried her head in her hands "I told him to stay out of it" "You told him to stay out?" Ruby asked "You know when I told you this was complicated?" Ruby nodded "This is as complicated as its gonna get. No matter what happens tonight, only Angelo will come out as a winner; Brax will be a pawn in his game and will never be able to get away from this" "Casey thinks he will" Ruby said "I've been stuck for nearly fifteen years Ruby. There isn't much chance of getting out. Believe me, I've tried everything" Charlie said sadly "I really can't listen to that for much longer" Ruby angrily said as more thumping came from upstairs "How Casey can watch his brother do that I'll never know" "Its their sort of thing though" Charlie replied monotoneously as she slowly looked around to Ruby "Fighting and what not". Saying nothing, Charlie and Ruby sat in silence. Looking at each other every so often as they both realised there was a vast age gap between themselves and they had just easily began to speak to each other. Ruby looked to Charlie as she looked to the door, her long, dark, wavy hair matched that of Ruby's hair underneath. Open-mouthed, Ruby looked away, just as Charlie turned her head to face Ruby. Charlie looked to the girls side profile; her big eyes gazing at the pictures on the wall. "I'd better see if Bee is okay" Charlie said as she rose to her feet "She hates these kind of things" "Yea, I was gonna get Case and see if he wants to go home" Ruby nodded as she rose to her feet, the chair beneath her nearly toppling over with the force Ruby had gotten up with. Side by side, Charlie and Ruby made their way to the stairs. Both looked to each other as they wondered what would behold them when they reached the top of the stairs. ~*~
