Chapter 8

Kim's POV:

"You ok Jack?" I asked calmly

"Yeah fine" Jack said, a calmer look returning to his eyes.

"We've only got five minutes until the match," I said

"What!" Jack jumped up, he swayed a little so I grabbed him

"You sure your ok Jack?" I asked again

"Yeah, just a little dizzy"

Jack's POV:

I watched Kim walk into the cafeteria, I walked off to our room. When I stepped out of the elevator my dad stood in front of me.

"Dad..." I gasped

"Jackson, I saw that little girlfriend of yours" He growled

"She's...not my girlfriend"

"But you still have to pay for not coming home" He reached out and pulled me into the bathroom.

"No" I struggled against his grip but it was no use.

"Yes, Jackson, you know you deserve this" He punched me in the stomach to stop me fighting him. He took a broom that was already in the bathroom and slid it through the handle so that the door wouldn't open. I looked at the broom confused.

"I plan ahead" He growled, before turning to face me.

"Please don't" I whispered.

"Don't what? Don't give you what you deserve!" He whispered.

"I don't deserve this, I don't. You don't need to do this" I pleaded.

"Stop talking" He said whilst grabbing my neck and holding me up against the wall, He then took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it in my mouth.

"That's better" He smiled. I continued to struggle against him, suddenly he just dropped me to the floor. He then kicked me in the stomach and chest multiple times laughing whilst he did so.

"Okay Jackson, I know you have a match in a little while so I'll let you get some rest" He looked me in the eyes and held my gaze a while before continuing. "But first, I have one more part of the punishment." He grinned evilly before reaching into the stall behind him and coming back with a horse riding crop. I looked up at him with pleading eyes.

I quickly shut my eyes trying to stop the memories.

"Jack... Jack" I faintly heard Kim calling me.

"Yeah?" I replied weakly

"Thank god, you just stopped and zoned out!" Kim said worriedly.

"I'm fine, honestly" I tried to convince her.

"Okay, well we really should be going" She repeated. She began to walk out of the room towards the hall where the matches would take place. She constantly turned to face me with a worried look on her face, each time I tried to reassure her with a small smile.

"Hey Rudy" Kim called as she waved to Rudy, who waved back as he began to walk over, he stood beside me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"You ok Jack? Ready for the first match?" He asked.

"Yeah" I replied. He lead me over to the other guys and I began to get ready, I quickly changed into my gi. Then Kim helped me wrap my hands, our dojo was called and I stood up and walked out to the ring.

I heard the referee say go so I started, I began with just simply blocking my opponents attacks. Then when I saw my opportunity I struck back. I got quite a few hits in and finally managed to knock him out of the ring.

"Well done Jack!" Rudy called as I walked back to him. My head was beginning to spin, the fight used up a lot of the little energy I had left. I slumped down on the bench and put my head in my hands.

"Jack...Jack?" Kim called my name softly, worriedly.

"Yeah" I looked up.

"What is going on?" She asked

"I just feel a bit dizzy, I'll be alright in a minute" I answered truthfully.

"I'm worried Jack" She said before sitting next to me silently watching the other dojos. The black dragons were seemingly going to make the finals.

I made it to the finals as well. As the matches went on I became more and more tired.

Before I knew it I was standing in the ring facing Kai.

"Your going down Jack" He said as we bowed. I didn't reply. Once again, the referee started the match. I waited a while before attacking, simply dodging his attacks waiting for him to tire out. Unfortunately I was tiring out much quicker.

I don't know how I managed it but the next thing I knew my legs were on top of Kai and the referee was saying the match was over. I stood up, but the adrenaline had finally worn off and the exhaustion caught up with me. I felt myself falling to the ground but didn't register it, when I was on the floor I could faintly hear Kim calling my name and Rudy shouting for a medic but I also felt the darkness calling me, I could feel the warmth and let it take me, Kim's voice grew quieter until it was no longer existent.

"Jack...Jack..." Kim called. I shut my eyes tighter. "Jack?" She sounded more hopeful.

I finally opened my eyes when her calling would not stop.

She looked at me with worry obvious in her eyes..

"What Kim" I said angrily "Sorry" I apologized as soon as I realised how angrily it came out.

She just lent over and gave me a massive hug.
