E X C E R P T "I can help you destroy your arch nemesis of the fighting ring and my ex boyfriend, Jax Deneris," I say with determination. For a while, Kayden just stares at me. He blinks several times , trying to fully digest what I'm saying. Then, he throws his head back and give s me the fright of my life by laughing. "What?" I say dumbly. He ignores me and continues to laugh, no w wheezing. "Hey, fuck you, Kayden. If you think this is a little bit funny-" "It is funny." He says, tears shining in his eyes. "Damn, Sien na. That was the best joke I've ever heard in a long time." "It's not a joke!" I defend, clenching my fists. How dare he i nsult me like this? He thinks I'm joking? I'm going to bust his freaking balls! "No offence, but I doubt you can help me with my fight against Jax," He says, the humor slowly dying off in his tone, "You're well... a girl." "If a feminist ever hears you say that, you'll be dead by morn ing," I mutter, "but seriously, I can help you beat him. I know exactly how to." "What makes you think I need your help?" He asks, challenging me. "You saw me out there. I'm more than capable of winning on my own, thank you very much." "You've won this battle, Kayden," I tell him, "and you will co ntinue to win other battles, I'm sure of it. But the question is: Will you be ab le to win the war?" 1. Sticks and Stones Don't Break My Bones Remember to follow, vote and comment! ****** Four days ago: Hit. I'm in the living room of our apartment. It's dark and the onl y thing illuminating the place is the soft light coming from my phone. I take a cautious step forward as if I knew what was about to happen next. Hit. I don't know why I didn't just turn on the light. Maybe it was because I couldn't find the switch. Or maybe it was because I knew there was no point being afraid of the dark. I've never come to expect the unexpected. A routine has alread y been set—I'd come home and my sister, Beth would be in her room, blasting Taylor Swift from her stereo, and my boyfriend, Jax would be in my room waiting for me with open arms. That's supposed to be the way it is. Hit. Outside the sky is gloomy. Heavy clouds hover over it, creatin g a tense atmosphere. I hear a roll of thunder. A storm's coming. Hit. It rumbles softly outside, causing a small chill to run down m y spine. I shrug it off and make my way through the living room, crossing the ha llway. I notice light seeping through from Beth's room, and a small smile creeps on my face. Just as I place my hand on the doorknob, I hear voices. Familiar vo ices. I'm paralysed. Two voices blend together, and my heart quickens when I recogn ize both of them. A groan escapes from one of them and I gasp when he murmurs so mething that completely shatters me. "You feel so good, Beth." Hit. Beth moans. "Stop, Jax. What if Sienna comes back and finds us .." Hit. "Relax, babe. She won't be back till 8. We got all the time in our hands." Hit. "She's going to find out," she whines. Hit. "No, she won't. I told her I was out running errands. And you already made sure she knew you were with your friends. " He coaxes her. "Maybe you're right..." I hear him kiss her. "I love you, Beth." "I love you too, Jax." Hit. Hit. Hit. A scream erupts from my throat. I take a few steps back until my back hits against the wall. Both voices freeze and I hear shuffling before th e door is thrown open. Jax and Beth are staring back at me, looks of pure shock and guilt plastered on their faces. "Oh god," Beth covers her mouth. "Si, wait-" "Get away from me." A strangled sob escapes my mouth. "GET AWA Y FROM ME!" Hit. "Sienna!" Jax yells and attemps to grab me. "Wait—we can explain !" "NO!" Hit. Hit. Hit. Tears pour down my face in an uncontrollable manner. I'm tryin g to breathe, trying so hard to breathe, but my lungs are tightening inside of m e. The world around me blurs and I blink my eyes, trying to find my voice. "Stay away!" I croak out. "Don't COME ANY CLOSER!" "Sienna!" Beth starts to cry too. "Please, listen to us! We... we didn't mean for you to find out this way!" "I... I can't..." I'm trying to catch my breathe. "D-don't..." "It's really not what you think!" Jax tries to calm me down bu t I look away, tears swimming in my eyes, clouding my vision. Hit. "STOP LYING TO ME!" I scream, my fists clenched. Hit. My hands go to my ears, and I crouch to the ground. I'm in so much pain, god it hurts it hurts "Just stop! JUST STOP JUST STOP" Hit. Hit. Hit. JUST STOP JUST STOP JUST STOP JUST STOP Hit hit hit hit hit hit hit- "Just stop, Si!" I say to myself, and allow the punching bag t o swing back and hit me. I stumble and fall to the ground, my legs finally givin g out on me. I land with a thud, gasping for breath. "Fuck." I take a few lungfuls of air for stabilization. I have been ri pped out of my thoughts so fast that I haven't any time to get myself together. When I finally manage to recollect myself, breaking away from the trance that I had been in, I take a good look at myself in the full length m irror in front of me. I look like shit. My blonde hair is a tangled mess, clumps of them sticking to m y face. Sweat trickles down the sides and I make no attempt to wipe them away. I 'm caked in dirt... or maybe they're bruises. I'm not exactly sure. But I know f or a fact that the pools of red on my knuckles are indeed blood.
