“I get that you’re fucking hot as shit when you’re angry, but I’m not going to let you go and hurt yourself. Besides, Daisy is taking care of it.”
“What?” Tabitha asked, freezing up.
“Daisy, she’s at the Quad right now. She’s going after Daniella. We got word they were bragging about what happened to you. Daisy’s pissed she didn’t follow you inside.”
“Daisy’s going to fight?”
“I know. I don’t think it’s going to go well.”
Any pain she felt, she ignored it as she started to remove the machines that were hooked up to her.
“Baby, seriously, stop this.”
“I’ve got to go to Daisy. She can’t fight them.”
“She wants to. I know she’s going to get her ass kicked.”
“You don’t understand,” Tabitha said. “I promised Daisy she would never have to fight. I fight, not her.”
“You’re in no position to fight.”
“Simon, I swear to God, you act like my husband right now, and you get me to the Quad.”
“I don’t see what the big deal is. Daisy’s going to need to fight.”
“It’s not Daisy I’m worried about.” Tabitha groaned as she stepped off of the bed.
“Shit, what the fuck do you mean?”
“Daisy can fight, Simon. She always has been able to, but it’s like a switch goes off in her brain. Once they trigger it, she can’t stop it. She just keeps fighting. She can kill someone.” And there was no way Anthony would stop her either. “Get me to the Quad. Please.”
“But—”
“Now!”
“Shit, okay. Fine.”
Simon helped her get into some clothes. It took a great deal of time, which she didn’t have if she was going to help her friend. Her parents hadn’t returned and Simon snuck her down the back stairs toward the parking lot.
“I’ve got my car,” he said.
“Oh, good.” She was breaking out of the hospital in so much pain.
She slid into the passenger seat as Simon got behind the wheel. “I think this is a big mistake.”
“I don’t care, Simon. Daisy isn’t going to fight.”
“I’ve never seen her fight.”
“And you don’t want to either. It’s not pretty. It’s not pretty at all.”
She cried out when he drove over speed bumps. “How long ago were they at The Quad?” she asked.
“I don’t know. An hour, but they have to drive there,” he said. “I don’t like this.”
“I don’t care what you like right now,” she said. “What are you doing back?”
“When I heard what happened, I was already on my way back. Daisy called me immediately after the ambulance. Why were you alone?” he asked.
“I needed to use the toilet and I forgot.”
“You forgot?”
“Yeah, I guess I’ve been so happy lately, I didn’t even think of all the people that want to see me dead, you know?” She took a deep breath and winced. “Fuck. They beat the shit out of me. Kicking me when I was down. Fucking cowards.”
Her heart raced. If she was too late, Daisy would never forgive herself.
They arrived at the Quad, and of course, there was a shit load of cars around. She climbed out and Simon helped her. They headed toward the main gate and Simon paid their fees.
“What the fuck happened to you?” the man asked.
Ignoring him, they stumbled inside. The stadium was lit up and Tabitha froze. The crowd was huge. Daniella was in the ring and she’d just hit Daisy.
“I don’t see the big deal,” Simon said. “She’s getting her ass kicked.”
Tabitha’s heart raced as she watched her friend. Daisy could take a lot of hits, but it was the right one that finally pushed.
She knew what she was looking for and saw it happen. Daniella hit Daisy, who stumbled back. Whatever Daniella had said, it turned Daisy. With her stumbling, Daniella thought she was the better opponent. Daisy always played fair, but the moment she pressed that button, this was like a completely different person.
“Holy shit,” Simon said.
With Daniella’s hands in the air, playing the crowd, Daisy had struck. She pulled Daniella back by the hair. The girl’s screams rang out. A fist to Daniella’s face had her going down but Daisy lifted her back up by her hair, hitting her again, and again. The punches rang down, and Daisy stomped on her as well.
At some point, Daniella was able to break free, but Daisy wasn’t allowing her to escape. She wrapped her fingers around her throat and pinned her to the ground.
“Get me to the ring.”
Anthony was there, looking so fucking proud.
“You’ve got to stop this,” Tabitha said.
“No, Daniella deserves what’s coming to her.”
She cried out as someone knocked into her. She looked toward Miles and the rest of the gang.
None of them would stop it.
Tabitha knew she had to break the rules. Once a fight started, no one intervened.
“Get me in the ring,” she said.
“Tabby, no.”
“I don’t care. I promised Daisy and I’m not going to let her down.”
Simon helped her into the ring and even as each step made her hurt, Daniella’s face was already a mess.
