Chapter 1: Fighter

Punch...punch...BAM. Slide...Slide...punch...BAM. The sweat was running down my face. I kept hitting and punching the bag. All the anger all the frustration! I started to get mad as I thought about everything.

My father...leaving me when I was little. Not being there! Leaving my mother and I alone.

My step dad! Trying to take the place of my father. Punch.

Gabriella's father hitting her. Punch. Thinking about her made me stop.

Sweat turned into tears. My face was red and my hair was soaked.

"looking good Bolton. Ready for your fight tomorrow" my trainer said. I quickly wiped my face, and nodded.

"What's wrong son..." he said. My trainer, Danny, was like my father. He's actually my uncle on my dad's side anyways. He trains me in boxing.

"She's pregnant..." I said. His lips went into a straight line.

"congrats" he said.

"right"

"Troy...it's scary and always will be. But when you see your baby for the first time it will be instant love" he explained. I loved the baby and Gabriella...but it pisses me off I let this happen.

"You see it all the time...guy in here get there girls pregnant. But your different. Your not going to be like them. You wont be like your father" I looked at him when he mentioned him

"have you talked to him..." I asked. They've kept in touch...usually I don't really care about it. But every once in awhile I'm curious.

"Yea last night. I told him he should come to one of your fights"

"That'll never happen." I said drinking water.

"He ask about you all the time"

I really don't care if he asked about me.

"I need you to put me more fights..." I said.

"I'll try my best. I'll be here for you and Gabi. You know I love her like a niece...I'm here for both of you!"

"Thanks Gino" I said. I got up and grabbed my bag. I looked at my phone and saw texts from Gabriella. I decided to just call her.

"Hey babe" she answered.

"hey Baby"

"Can you pick me up from work tonight? I picked up an extra shift and I hate walking home that late" she said. She's a waitress at a diner.

"yea what time?"

"9:30"

"alright."

"thanks babe, Love you"

"love you too"

Gabriella, my first true love...and my only. I remember the first time I saw her. I was still in school and she walked into my math class. She looked so beautiful. I had to talk to her. When I did for the first time she blushed and smiled. I made it my job to keep that smile on her face.

When I asked her out she was at work. She thought she looked ugly. Her beautiful black curls were up and she had little makeup on and her work shirt had sauce stains on it. But when she said yes...I was the happiest guy in the world. She said I love you first...i dropped out of school shortly after we were together, I usually pick her up from school. I was leaning against my car and she had her arms around me. She said "babe...I love you" ever since that day I tell her every time I see her.

I'm a boxer...I'm a tough guy. But when it comes to that girl...woo I'm like jelly.

I was leaving the gym now and hopped in my car. I decided to go home and shower, by then it'll be time to pick her up. I looked at the dash board and saw the ultra sound picture. She's 16 weeks now. We found out when she was 10 weeks. When she told me we were in my car. She looked over at me and just blurted it out. I stopped the car on the side of the road. She looked scared...and I saw her eyes fill up with tears. I just hugged her. She told me she would understand if I left...i told her I could never leave her and our baby. She looked up and smiled.

I'm scared to death though...what about money...i don't want her to have to work all the time, she has to finish school. But without a diploma...

I ran my fingers through my hair and wiped my eyes. I looked at the picture again...

"Don't worry baby...daddy will figure it all out..." I said to the picture.

I was determined to make this babies and Gabriella's life good...with all she's been through she deserves it.
