Chapter 13.
Ladies and Gentlemen Thomas Teller.

Thomas' POV

Abel and I stood inside the boxing ring, he pulled his shirt over his head so he stood in only in his jeans and started taking off his rings and placing them out of the way,

"Come on shirt off Tommy," Abel said stretching his arm muscles

"Are you serious?" I asked, I worked out a few times a week but nowhere near as much as Abel I knew I was fit and had muscle tone but it was still intimidating being next to someone like Abel who girls worshipped,

"Think of it as confidence building," Abel said shrugging his shoulders to loosen the muscles, I sighed there'd be no winning with Abel I stripped off my shirt so I stood in the spare sweats that I had borrowed from the dorm, I heard a wolf whistle from behind me I turned to see my Aunt Lyla arms crossed and grinning at me

"Hey Aunt Lyla" I said blushing and grinning at the same time, She may be my Aunt well kinda but hell she used to be a pornstar and I'm a 15-year-old boy what other reaction would I have? Whenever she was around I found I stuttered more and turned bright red ever since I had found those old dirty mags featuring Lyla on the cover under Abel's bed one day I could never look at her the same.

"Hey Tommy, It's good to see you kid" She said climbing up onto the ring and pulled me into a hug I hugged her back enthusiastically

"Yeah its really good to see you to Aunt Lyla" I said,

"Common Tommy let's go!" Abel said from behind me and I pulled away reluctantly

"See you later?" I asked hopeful

"Yeah sure, I think your Uncle Ope and I will be here a while longer" She said and gave a little wave heading back into the clubhouse

"god she's hot" I said to Abel when she was out of earshot

"Naw ya think? Girl used to be a pornstar of course she's hot, now common focus your head" Abel said and tossed me some tape to tape my wrist and hand to protect them from damage. I taped my hands and turned to face Abel waiting for instruction he went on to explain how to stand and how I should form a fist as not to hurt myself half way through Abel's instruction on how to keep your balance while delivering a kick to the ribs I noticed my Dad in my peripheral lighting a cigarette before coming to stand ringside, I felt the need to prove something to him I wasn't really sure why I had never felt the need to before now,

"So can we do this?" I ask Abel cutting off whatever he was saying

"What?" Abel asked looking confused and annoyed at being interrupted, I didn't reply but instead took a shot at his face swinging my right fist towards him but Abel was fast and dodged me and instead he ended up landing a shot on my ribs knocking the air out of me

"That was good Tommy come on try again" Abel said from behind me I stood and turned around and this time Abel was ready I stepped with my foot forward throwing my body weight into the punch and missed where I was aiming (his face) but clipped his shoulder instead but before I could step back Abel grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back forcing me to the ground "You've got to be quicker," Abel said and I yanked my arm out of his grip panting and pushed myself up off the ground. This time I faked with my left and when Abel turned to defend himself I brought my left up and sucker punched him in the lip splitting it I seen blood come to the surface, I grinned that was payback for the rib shot Abel bent over and reached up to check his wound and I looked over at my dad who was grinning at me in the first show of approval I think I'd seen from him in a while

"Good work Tommy" He said I grinned before I felt Abel's fist connect with my mouth knocking me off my balance so I ended up on the mat of the ring

"Never turn your back on your opponent you little shit," Abel said spitting blood of the side of the mat and I tasted blood in my own mouth, I looked up and Abel went over grabbed my Dad's In a man handshake my dad clapped him on the back and helped him down from the ring

"Go get cleaned up son" Dad said to Abel who swaggered off to the clubhouse "You alright Tommy?" Dad asked climbing into the ring

"Yeah I'm fine" I said using the water bottle he passed me to rinse out my mouth,

"Good you ready for round two?" Dad asked I raised my eyebrows in question

"Against you?" I asked he nodded grinning

"If you're up for it?"

'Yeah sure" I tossed my drink bottle aside

"attaboy!" Dad said and stripped off his own shirt and rings then smiling he faced me we faced off assessing each other I moved first and before I could even lift my arm to lay a punch Jax ducked and laid a gentle tap to my stomach I hardly felt it he's taking it easy on me.

"Come on Old Man you've got more than that in you" I taunted Dad just grinned

"You've got to move faster Thomas"

"And you've got to hit harder, Come on do you hold back on Abel?" I asked

"No, but-" I didn't let him finish as I reached out to punch him catching him off guard what happened next was so fast that I can't be sure how it actually went down but all of a sudden I was standing then almost out of reflect he's elbow came up and caught me in the eye knocking me to the ground

"jesus Christ Thomas I'm sorry that was a reflect! Shit, Tara?" I heard my Dad saying I just pulled my knees up and pressed my palm to my face yeah I was definitely going to have a black eye tomorrow

"Oh my god Jackson what happened?" I heard Mum ask panting a little I guessed she had ran from the playground and I felt her hand on my shoulder then she pulled my hand away "Come on Baby my kits in the car," Mum helped me up and when I looked up my dad was staring at me "I'm really sorry Thomas" I just nodded speechless and followed mum to her car which was parked near the entrance I was standing by the trunk of the car when a black van came squealing into the lot the slide door flew open and a man with gun, wearing a balaclava was on the other side my Mum looked from the driver's side and screamed "JAX!" I could hear the fear in her voice but I was paralysed with fear the guy with the gun jumped out and grabbed me I pushed back trying to wrestle him off but shock made me weak he held the gun to my head and then through me into the van, the door slid shut behind me "Thomas!" I heard my dad yell before the van squealed out of the parking lot bullets bouncing off it from the outside.
