Chapter 10
Dwayne walks around the hallway looking in all the lockeroom's and office's looking for Paul, Dwayne grabs a chair and keeps looking. He sees him walking towards the exit ahead of him. Obviously getting out of the arena as fast as he could after running in during Dwayne's match. Paul sees Dwayne walking towards him.
"Dwayne, let's just talk about this. Don't start anything you can't finish" Paul says putting his hands up showing that he doesn't want a fight.
"Ok..Start talking" Dwayne says, Paul goes to say something "Time's up, you loose" Dwayne punches Paul hard in the stomach making him double over, Paul fights back, he takes a swing at Dwayne but he ducks and hits him straight in the jaw. Dwayne starts hitting him hard, Paul tries as hard as he can to fight back but the first couple of hits from Dwayne took a lot out of him and only manages to get one shot in to Dwayne's face. Paul knew Dwayne had a short temper; Paul falls to his knees at Dwayne's feet begging for him to stop. Dwayne holds the chair up above his head; he swings it towards Paul's face but stops just inches away. "Next time I wont stop," Dwayne mutters before throwing the chair down and walking away leaving a beaten Paul kneeling on the floor. Adam and Chris come running round the corner; Dwayne walks past them with his head down. They look at him and down the hall at Paul who is still kneeling there crying quietly to himself in pain as blood trickles down his face staining his clothes. Dwayne stops and leans against the wall, he slides down and sits with his head in his hands, he looks up at Chris and Adam approach him.
"I didn't even think I just started hitting him, I'm in so much trouble now" Dwayne sobs running his hand over the swollen side of his face "I didn't even give him a chance to fight back"
"We should have got there faster then we could have done something about it," Chris sighs seeing how distressed Dwayne is. He obviously didn't want to have hurt Paul as badly as he did.
"I just totally flipped out and kept hitting him as hard as I could. I didn't think I was like that; I'm not like that. I just wanted to scare him" Dwayne mumbles a feeling of guilt inside him. Paul did deserve to get some of what he got, but Dwayne couldn't help but feel guilty maybe he went too far "I'm just as bad as he is and I just proved that" Dwayne croaks.
"Your not like that DJ, you had every right to be mad with him" Adam says trying to think of something to comfort Dwayne. Dwayne climbs up and starts walking back towards Paul.
"I'm gunna go help him" Dwayne sighs deeply, he looks at the others. They nod their heads letting him do what he had to do. Dwayne walks towards Paul; Paul is sitting against the wall curled up holding his stomach tightly. He sees Dwayne and covers his face.
"No more, please I'm sorry. Just leave me alone," Paul sobs trying to shield himself from Dwayne and any more blows he might throw at him. Dwayne puts his hand out to Paul, Paul stares at him like he's totally insane.
"This is the only time I'm offering my hand to you, you take it and leave it as this or you don't take it and we'll be meeting like this again" Dwayne says trying not to sound angry, although he hated Paul he'd like to think he could sleep easy without knowing Paul was forever after him. Paul takes Dwayne's hand as Dwayne pulls him up. "I'll see you around then I guess" Paul says shaking Dwayne's hand and giving him a weak smile.
"Maybe you will, maybe on better terms" Dwayne says nodding his head, he pats Paul on the back and walks away towards the Chris and Adam, they stand there in shock not understanding why Dwayne had just gone and helped Paul. Stephanie runs down the hallway towards Dwayne and throws her arms around him, she looks at him and runs her hand down his face where it is already starting to swell, he winces at her touch.
"Are you angry with me?" Dwayne asks her glancing over his shoulder to see Paul walking away.
"Very. but I was more scared than angry" Stephanie says hugging him, he holds her close ad strokes her hair if Paul had the chance to fight back he could have hurt Dwayne too, not that he had the chance to or anything.
"It's sorted, I promise" Dwayne says pulling away from her and walking off down the corridor with Adam and Chris "You don't have to worry anymore" Dwayne says to her walking backwards as she still stands in the hallway "I'll talk to you later" Dwayne turns round and carries on walking.
