Grace POV
I can't believe Kim signed up for some fighting lessons again. I mean come on why would she do that?
She joins... then quits... She joins... She gets kicked out and on and on.
What is it with her. I can usually figure someone out in like 5 min, I've known her 6 years now and I feel like she is a stranger to me.
I'm at Kim's house trying desperately to wake her up.
She groans and puts the pillow over her head. I get on the bed and start jumping. I could see that I hit a nerve and sat down.
"Get off..."
"Not until you get dressed."
Kim murmured some curse words and went to the bathroom. She tied her hair up and put on mascara, eyeliner and some black/gray eyeshadow.
I looked at her intensively... something was off. Was she drunk? Nope, she doesn't have a drunk rash on her throat. Maybe sick? Naw she looks fine to me. I guess I need to ask.
"What's up with you?" She rolls her eyes.
"Honey I fell asleep at 4 and you woke me up at 9 finish the rest."
So she's tired. Well better that then sick... Or drunk.
"So when do you have to be there." I ask. Kim looks at me confused
"Be where?"
"Fighting class... Or whatever that is" wow she has already forgotten.
"I think at 4... or was it 5. Eh we'll see." I could never get how can she be so careless.
"Brad asked me out yesterday." I said. She just raised her eyebrow. "Brad Anderson" I add
"Oh that dude. Wait isn't he Jacks brother..." I face palm "Did I say something wrong"
"Kim look... Jack Brewer and Brad Anderson. Do you not see the name difference."
"Just because they are brothers doesn't mean they need to have the same name Grace." She laughs as she puts on her white skinny jeans.
I slam my head on her wall... Ow... Why did I just do that.
"Grace I think you might need to go to the doctor." Kim says smirking.
I close my eyes. I think I'm going to kill her. Wait a sec. She smirked. That means...
"OMG you knew what I meant the whole time and you just said that to annoy me!" I screamed
She laughed. Oh that evil witch. How are we friends again?
"Come on. I thought you wanted to go shopping."
-time laps-
So we are walking around the mall carelessly.
Until I see a tattoo shop.
Ugh... I have always wanted a tattoo, but my parents would kill me if they found out.
"What... do you want a tattoo or something?" Kim asked grinning. She's planning something I know it.
"Duh... I told that already. Do you ever listen."
"Of course I do Gracie... I just wanted to make sure you still do."
Yeah yeah yeah. I know you didn't listen when I told you Kim.
"Wanna go in?" I guess it couldn't hurt to see what the got there...right?
"Um... Sure."
We walk in and I see a woman from head to toe in tattoo's. She hugs Kim.
"Hey honey who's your friend." She asks
"This is Grace. Grace meet Jessie."
"Hi. Nice to meet you." I say stretching out my hand.
"So what brings you here." She says shaking my hand. What a grip.
"Grace is interested in getting a tattoo." What?! Kim!
"I really can't my parents would kick me out of the house." I blurt out.
Kim rolls her eyes.
"I see we have a goodie goodie." Jessie says smiling.
"Yup" Kim confirms
"You should start acting more like her Kim." Ha take that.
"Yeah, yeah. Says the girl who set her husband on fire" What did I hear?
"It was an accident!" OMG she wasn't joking!
"Of course it was... I'm going to show Grace around." She huffs and stomps back to her desk.
"This is Greg the main artist here." I smile and wave. Cute guy.
Then she started to introduce me to the others.
After that Kim made me sit down and look at the tattoo's.
"Kim but what if my parents see it" I whine.
"Put it in a spot that they won't see." She says simply.
"Oh why am I listening to you. Where is your tattoo huh?"
"I don't have one. I don't like them on me but on other people it's fine" Was she serious. Come on she's a bad girl... Rebel... She's a daily guest here.
"Your kidding... Right?"
"Nope. Don't like stuff on my body. I feel comfortable with it." No shocker there. Have you seen her.
"What about your piercings." She just sighs.
"Eh... If I don't like them I take them of but with tattoos it's different."
I guess that makes sense. Hm...
"How about on my neck." Her eyes light up.
"Where exactly."
"On the side..."
"I thought you said you didn't want it to be visible."
"I don't but I want the ink pink so it won't stand out that much."
She nods her head.
"But I don't know what tattoo to get" she smirks.
"How long have you been my friend." She says
"6 years."
"I guess that we should celebrate."
"I'm not writing bff Kim." She looks at me weirdly.
"Eww... I wouldn't let you. Anyway how about lips." What does she mean.
I think she saw my confusion and called Monica over.
"Hey need anything?" She asked nicely.
"Nothing really just show me your hand."
"Which one?" Kim rolls her eyes. I can see she is slowly starting to loose patience.
"The one that has lips on them."
"Oh... Here."
Kim points to the tattoo. It was awesome. (the tattoo is on my profile also the sketch and Kim's and Donna's workout outfits)
"I like it"
"Mk Monica can you call over Greg."
"Sure thing sweets" Kim fake smiled but after she left Kim dropped the smile.
"Hate her guts. She's too annoying."
Greg came over and started sketching.
"The main thing is that I want Kim's lips and on them-"
"I know" she interrupted me ugh..."devil horns"
No no no..."wait that could work" she smirked.
"Not the horns just angel wings and a halo" her mouth dropped.
"Oh and under that I want the words angel lips."
"You just ruined the whole tattoo Grace."
When Greg showed me the sketch I couldn't wait for it to be on me. I showed him the spot where I wanted it to be.
Yay!
...
I am so happy with my new tattoo. I don't even feel the pain anymore.
"I'm glad you like it Grace but I got to." I pout
"Fine. Remember kick some butt!" She laughs and blows me a kiss.
Eddies POV
I scream in agony. I tap out.
Jack stand up and smirks. I hate that jerk. My "so called friend".
"I guess I won again." He says.
I try to get up but fall down. Pain shot threw my body again.
"Dude why you so aggressive man. That's so not swag" Jerry says.
Jack just rolls his eyes. I hear the bell jingle.
We look towards the door. Kim Crawford came in. Woah what a body.
Rudy comes out of his office.
"Your late."
"No I'm not your just early" oh she got attitude
He rubs his temples.
"Go get changed and then warm up." She grabs her bag.
I see Jack's eyes shine. That only happens when he has a evil plan or something catches his eye. I think it's both now. He steps in front of her.
"I see you couldn't get enough of me." Cocky much...
"And why is that." She asks. Not really caring.
"Following me here and joining." Yeah right...
"Oh Jack you are so delirious." She tried to pass him but he blocked the way again.
Just as he was going to say something the bell rang again. What now. I look back at the door and see Donna Tobin. What the fuck. Am I seeing things.
"Jack oh my gosh I so didn't know that you come here..." Oh my gosh really? What's happening... soon this place is going to be filled with chicks.
I saw Kim narrow her eyes.
"Donna pleasure seeing you here... I thought your still in jail." I felt some weird tension.
Donna's eye twitched...
Kim went into the changing room and Donna to Rudy's office.
-15 min later-
Kim is soooo flexible. I can't concentrate on anything. Same goes for the guys. Only Jack is not gaping at her just doing his push ups.
Rudy comes out with Donna wearing... I don't think I can say that she's wearing anything.
"So guys... Um... I think you all met Kim." There was a lot of mhm's and stuff...
"Ok so now meet Donna the daughter of my boss and ect." He made sure to emphases MY BOSS. I guess that's why he let her come in like this.
"So lets spar... Um... Kim you and Milton." Milton was our weakest.
"Go easy on her" I started chuckling this is going to be fun.
Ready...set...go.
Kim sent a punch and Milton is on the ground holding his face and screaming. Ouch... He's bleeding like hell.
"Um... I didn't know you guys suck that bad." She said. Jack looked amused.
"Well blonde try me." Rudy stood in front of Jack. The guy has no mercy for anyone. Not even a girl.
"No... She's not ready." Rudy said really fast.
"Um... Eddie come up here... your turn." I crack my knuckles. Jack rolls his eyes. She can't be that hard to beat.
Just as I thought that I was lying on the ground holding my stomach. What a kick. I try to breath but I can't.
Kim crouches next to me.
"Oh shit sorry man I thought you could take it." I tried to catch my breath.
Jack comes up and slaps my chest...HARD. Air finally makes it to my lungs.
"He'll be fine" he says.
Rudy comes up to Kim.
"Are you sure you never took any kick boxing or judo or anything involving fighting." He said.
"Hm... Yeah I'm sure." Rudy just nods his head. I look at her. She's lying. You can see it in her eyes.
Kim and Jerry now.
I feel bad for the girl she's going to get her ass whooped. Jerry sucks at karate and a lot of other fighting techniques but he is almost as good as Jack in boxing.
"Jerry just take it easy ok?" Rudy says really concerned
"Don't worry. I'll go easy on her."
She rolls her eyes and smirks "give me your best shot"
"You asked for it doll." When he said that you could literally see fire in her eyes. I think she doesn't like it when she's called doll.
Jerry does a jab but she ducks. Then he does a series of punches, jabs and headlocks, but all of them are either blocked or deflected.
Then she attacks. Her skills were mad awesome. My jaw dropped.
Jack and Rudy actually sat down.
Because she was so flexible her kicks not only reached Jerry's head but with such force that he was knocked off the ground. Kim reacted quickly and did a incredibly painful move. The stairs they call it.
I remember when Jack did it to me and my shoulder popped out and we had to go to the hospital. Jerry started tapping the mat so fast.
She dropped him. "Never call me doll got it."
"Mhm" he whimpered.
I looked at Jack he was smirking. Donna was sitting on his lap, but he didn't pay attention to her.
Why does he get all the girls.
"You know what I did do some karate. No biggy." She said.
"What belt are you" I managed to ask.
She smirked "10th degree black belt." I shivered. That is the highest rank. Rudy and Jack have it.
Rudy was our Sensei but the dojo closed down when Jack left to learn judo, boxing and some other stuff.
Turned out that Rudy not only was good at karate and Jack came back. This place became a hit. There are so many people now that Rudy had to hire 6 more teachers.
Rudy looked at Kim in shock. Jack stood up. Rudy looked at Jack.
"Oh look at the time guys. I think we should close down now." He said really fast.
I joined in and Milton did to. Jerry still hasn't caught on.
"What are you talking about we still have about 2 hours left of practice." Jack says annoyed.
"Maybe tomorrow Jack. Today I have something important to do."
Kim was the first one to leave. Then Donna's father came in and took her.
Me, Jerry and Milton got dressed at left to go to falafel Phil's.
"Jack you coming" I yell.
"Go without me." He says and turns back to Rudy.
Knowing life Rudy will give him the keys and he'll train until 3.
...
Kim's POV
I forgot Grace's damn sweater. She threw a unnecessary fit that I loose all her stuff blah blah blah. So to make her shut up I said I'll go back and get it.
So here I am 9:23 pm at the mall which is slowly closing down. Yay.
I look at my destination... Rudy must have forgotten to lock the place up and turn of the lights. I slowly open the door.
I see Jack shirtless. He's so sweaty. He has a lot of tattoos, but none of them are naked woman... shocker I lost my bet.
He see's me and smirks.
"Like what you see." His ego is as big at the oceans.
"Nothing special." I state blankly. I look at his neck. I see 3 hickeys. Donna fucking Tobin it's on.
He eyes me "Why are you here anyway."
"Forgot my sweater."
"Well since you are here. We can spar." I roll my eyes.
"Why we both know who's going to win." He comes closer.
"How'd you know it was me." I kick him but he catches it and pulls me very close. I look at him annoyed.
"You chicken." He grins. I pull my leg out and push him back. I take of my blazer and high tops.
No one calls me a chicken.
I get into a fighting stance. One... Two... Three...
I attack. Kicking, punching and doing anything just to hurt him. Nothing works. He deflects everything. I finally punch his stomach. Nothing...
I look at him shocked "What not even a umph, or something?"
He smirks "That was one weak ass punch" I try flipping him, but he catches my hand and slams me onto the mats. I groan. Fuck I'm going to be sore for at least a whole week.
"What backing out already." He has the most annoying voice ever.
"Never." I swing my legs and make him fall. What I didn't realize is if i did that he would fall straight on me. And guess what. It happened.
He was falling and I closed my eyes and shielded myself. I knew that the impact was going to break at least one bone.
Shockingly it never came. I slowly open one eye and see his smirking at me. What the? I look and see his hands on either side of me. He was in a push-up position. I finally let out my breath. The one I was holding in for such a long time.
"Fuck you. You could've killed me." I said angrily. I have never been so scared my whole life.
He laughed. "Would be a shame to kill such beauty." I roll my eyes.
"Don't flirt with me you annoying prick." I push him off of me.
I sit on the stack of mats and put my shoe on. Or at least try to.
Jack is in front of me. His face is like 3 inches away from mine.
"Did I really scare you that much." Ugh...
"I wasn't scared." He looked amused when I said that.
"Oh really. So the shielding your face-" I interrupt him and poke his chest
"So I was supposed to let you fall on me and-" now he interrupted me and he put his hands on the mats that I was sitting on.
"I wasn't going to fall on you-" as I was about to say something the stupidest thing happened.
We kissed. I don't really know who started it. I ran my hands though his messy and sweaty hair. As disgusting as that sounds it felt nice. Why is his hair so soft!
I swing my legs around him and he picks me up. I get pushed up against the wall. My hands roam his abs. How are they so hard. Then I feel it. Lines across his stomach and chest. I pull away.
"What?!" He asks annoyed. I look at him...
"Why are you covered in scars" His face hardens and lets me go.
"None of your business."
"Fine..." I turn around and put on my blazer and my shoes again.
He goes back to punching the punching bag. I got up and I saw his phone. I pick it up and Grace's sweater and leave.
Why the hell did I take his phone? Eh... I already have it. I go to text messages.
Donna- hey babe wanna come over tonight?
Jack- maybe tomorrow.
Donna- come on please. Nobody will be home.
Jack- fine I'll be there at 1am.
Donna- can't wait see ya.
Hm... So he's supposed to come to her house at 1... I guess that'll never happen. I smirk. I browse through his other messages.
Milton- dude the cops heard about GROVE DEATH.
Jack-don't worry. When they find out it will be long gone.
Milton-hope your right.
What... GROVE DEATH. I thought that they... I felt someone hands around me "Scream and I'll make sure you suffocate."
Jack leads me back and slams the door shut. I'm fucked. He locks it. Make that double fucked.
"What did you read." He said as he ripped the phone out of my hand.
I shrug. Playing the cool card usually works.
"Nothing much. Your going to be late for your date with Donna."
He walks up to me and grabs my throat. Yep he's mad.
"You read about GROVE DEATH didn't you."
"The fact that your chocking me isn't helping at all"
His grip tightens and he lifts me up. Ok no more sarcasm... Got it.
"Maybe I did."
"So you did" gosh my throat is burning.
He lets me go and I fall to the ground wheezing.
Ok so no messing around with him when he's pissed off. Got it.
"How much do you know?" He asks dead serious.
"That there is this thing that is called DEATH GROVE and apparently it's illegal." I lied. I know what it is. My brother died there.
I slowly get up. He walks over to me.
"Let's make a deal." I eye him. "You don't say one word about-"
"Wait, wait,wait,wait,wait." I cut him off. "How come you get to make the deal."
He leans so close to me that I feel this weird urge to kiss him. What is wrong with you! He was just choking you and you want to KISS HIM!
"Because your the bitch who sneaks around with someone's phone." Now that just sounded like I was cheating on him with his phone.
"We'll guess what deal's off" I should really learn when to shut my mouth.
He grabs my neck again.
"Come again..." In my head I hear a dun..dun..dun... Oh come on head I need some witty remark. Fine then don't work!
I kick Jack with all my might in the balls.
Then I punch him but he catches it and does a wrist lock. I kneel because of the pain.
"Fine you won now let me go." I yell. AHHHH... The pain.
He is still kneeling and clutching man parts. He let's me go but slams me onto the floor.
My fucking back!
"Do that again and I will choke you with it." He says darkly
I chuckle Kim shut up don't say anything Kim don't dare Kim!
"I'd like to see you try." And too late. Eh...
He looks up. He looks so annoyed. Then I see a small smile forming.
"You asked for it love." Shit he was serious.
So guys what do you think. Tell me what you want Jack to do.
See ya later. Thanks for the support. Stay safe!
