“What’s up?” Vin plopped down on the bench next to me.

“Not much.” I continued wrapping my hands.

“Kind of don’t believe you.”

“Just a lot on my mind. Everything with Scarlet and my dad.”

“What’s up with Scarlet?”

“Nothing now. We’re good again. I guess I’m just nervous that I’m going to screw it up again somehow.”

“So don’t let it happen. You know your mistakes from before, don't repeat them. She’s a good girl, and she wants to be with you as much as you want to be with her. Stop stressing about it and just enjoy yourself.”

“Well, that’s one of the problems solved. Now if you could just convince my dad to leave I would forever be in your debt.”

“What’s going on there?”

“He’s on drugs again. Even though he swore he was clean.” I sighed.

“That really sucks.”

“All of this was about money.”

“What makes you say that?”

“He came to my house a few days ago begging for money. I told him no and not to come back.”

“I wish I could help with this.”

“It’s cool man, just listening is good. Saying it out loud to someone other than myself.”

“Talking to yourself again?” I could tell he was trying to lighten the mood.

“Yep, you know it.”

“Get your ass in the ring so I can kick it.” He grinned and made his way up to it.

“Yeah, like you’re going to be the one winning. Keep dreaming.” I followed him up and we tapped gloves.

The bell rang and I danced around him, dodging every blow. “Is that all you’ve got bitch?” I taunted before hitting him with an uppercut. “Come on, let’s see this ass kicking you were talking about.” I laughed.

“Now you’re in for it.” He got me against the ropes and attacked my sides.

Something in me needed this, needed to feel the pain of violence. I sidestepped out from in front of him and charged for my attack. I launched at him, swinging with everything I had. I didn't even know how many he caught or dodged, I was lost to it.

Someone was screaming and arms were pulling me back.

“What the hell Chad?” Ian yelled as he knelt in front of my face.

I shook myself, trying to clear the black haze that had clouded my vision. “What happened?”

“What happened? You went mental on Vin.”

I tried to get up, to look for Vin. “Is he okay?”

“Of course I’m okay.” His voice was irritated. “Come on, let’s go get changed, and we can discuss what this was.”

I followed him back to the locker room, and neither of us spoke a word as we got dressed. I felt sick to my stomach that I had lost control. I could already see bruises forming on his sides. We walked out the back door into the twilight air.

“Vin, I’m so sorry.”

“I know you are. That was insane, you know that right?”

“I know.”

“What the hell happened?”

“I have no idea, something just snapped. I didn’t even see you anymore.”

“That’s probably not good man.”

“No, it’s not good at all. Are you okay?”

“Of course I am, it takes a whole hell of a lot more than that to keep me down.
