Fight Night (7) Re-Edited
The video at the top is the lullaby that Savannah's Mom is singing to her but in Hindi, the one in the story is translated into English.
Savannah's P.O.V
"Hey, Annah! Sorry, we left so abruptly before you could come out of the shower, I don't know what happens with Blaze but once he woke up he just wanted to get out of your house. I didn't want to argue with him cause of his injury. Call me back."
I sighed putting my phone down on the bed, did he actually think that his leaving was going to stop any sort of beating that my dad had planned for me today. I mean I'm glad he left otherwise I would have gotten a worse beating tomorrow. God, when did my life get so complicated? It's all his fault, everything is his fault.
"You unwanted bitch get down here now!" My dad screamed from downstairs "Come down now!!"
What did I do now? "C-Coming Sir"
I quickly make my way downstairs trying to prevent him from getting more frustrated "What happened?"
His smirk made my heart start beating faster "We just haven't spent some quality time together in a long time don't you think?"
He started walking closer to me but his hands were behind his back. What was he hiding?
I started to take steps back "Sir, what's behind your back?"
"I was waiting for you to ask that my sweetheart" He pulled out a whip "Get on your knees."
"What? No"
He grabbed my hair harshly and yanked me towards him "Do you want to make this harder for yourself?"
"Please Dad, I'm your daughter. Please."
"You are a mistake, that's all you are. A mistake." He pushed me down on the floor and took off my pants and shirt while I was struggling against him. He started to whip me ignoring my screams and protests while repeating the same words over and over again "She died because of you. You are a mistake. I hate you. You should have died."
These words haunted me at night, every night.
. . . Flashback (When she was younger) . . .
"Mommy, mommy!!" I said running up to her "What does illegitimate mean?"
She stopped washing the dishes and turned around "Baby, who called you that?"
"Grandma did. She said I was a mistake and illegitimate."
Mom slid down to the kitchen floor and pulled me towards her making me sit in her lap "Savy, you are not a mistake, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you so much. Always remember that okay? No matter what your grandma says, no matter what anyone says I love you."
"I love you too Momma, more than anything," I said yawning
"Want me to sing you, your favorite lullaby?" I smiled cuddling into her more.
"Come, I shall take you in a world
Where you meet happiness in the disguise of angels
Come, I shall take you in a world
Where you meet happiness in the disguise of angels
Even if the moon is just half, It still provides light
Even if the moon is just half, It still provides light
If we don't lose hope, Every problem works itself out
The melody of the dawn(happiness) is formed, From the tune of the night (difficulties)
I shall sing you a lullaby from my childhood
I shall sing you a lullaby from my childhood
Come, I shall take you in a world
Where you meet happiness in the disguise of angels
Come, I shall take you in a world
Where you meet happiness in the disguise of angels
I have brought the sky in our home through the windows
I have chosen and brought all the stars here
I have always given color to our dreams this way
I'll forget every pain while playing this game
I'll forget every pain while playing this game
Come, I shall take you in a world
Where you meet happiness in the disguise of angels
Come, I shall take you in a world
Where you meet happiness in the disguise of angels..."
. . . Present . . .
Once he was done hitting me with the whip he cleaned the bruises with hot water scrubbing them hard, once he had enough of my begging and screaming he slapped me telling me to shut up, and left me there on the floor. Alone, in pain.
Finally gathering the strength to get up, I went to my room and fell into a deep sleep wishing to meet my mom in my dreams.
The Next Morning
My body is in excruciating pain and I wake up moaning from even the smallest movement. I don't think I can even go to school today, and if I stay at home, my dad will beat me up once more. I successfully put my feet down without making a sound as I slowly rolled toward my bed's edge and checked the time. I have about an hour and a half to get ready as it's just six. Thank heaven, since covering the scratches and bruises on my face and neck will take a lot of time today.
After making it to school safely and without incident, I gently step out of the car, hoping not to cut my leg too much. I was alright until Elena threw herself on my back, causing me to fall to the ground sobbing. "Sorry, Sorry Annah. Are you okay?"
I bit back the scream that was threatening to leave my mouth "Yeah, I'm fine just help me up." She did as told continuing to apologize "Calm down Ellie, I'm fine."
"The way you just fell to the ground doesn't seem like you are fine. " I roll my eyes at the unwanted third voice piping into the conversation. Should have known he was with her.
"I'm fine," I say again turning around to face him and gasp, he had a black eye. Did he fight again? Or was that there from the night before? "Did you fight again?"
"I don't see how that is any of your business Sweetheart."
"Don't call me that and-"
"God can you guys stop fighting yeah he fought again even after me begging for hours not to. The black eye is from yesterday night's fight."
"Why did you fight? Knowing that you have a huge cut on your torso."
"As I said before Sweetheart, it's none of your business. " He said smirking a bit knowing he was riling me up.
"Guys please can we just get to class," Ellie said desperately trying to stop the fight that was brewing between us.
I clenched my jaw "Glady, sorry Ellie but your cousin is an insufferable asshole." Grabbing onto her wrist I drag her away from him leaving him fuming with anger
"Harsh Annah."
"I apologized Ellie," I said stopping at my locker, with her leaning against the one beside mine
"Yeah to me, not him."
"I will not say sorry to him. He was acting like an ass after me saving him from almost bleeding to death. A little appreciation would have been nice wouldn't it." As soon as I finished my sentence my body was thrown back into my locker making me groan out of pain.
"Blaze! What the hell do you think you are doing?" Ellie said freaking out trying to pull him off of me but he shoved her off easily with one hand
"Stay out of this Elena."
"You are hurting her."
"I will not let her go until she apologizes to me."
I let out a small painful laugh leaning in to whisper "Kiss my ass Cage."
He pulled away a bit and grabbed onto my wrist harshly pulling me away from the crowd into the janitor's closet ignoring all of my and Ellie's protests to stop "I'll take you up on that offer Savy."
. . . Flashback . . .
Cage said that the other bimbo, to whom I mean everything, meant nothing to him, but they were unable to maintain an exclusive connection. He could only give me the occasional nod of the head while we were in public, and by that, he indicated that we were friends. This is getting out of hand; he ought to just tell me if I'm too ashamed to be in his presence, but he just brushes it off every time I bring it up. If he wanted to act like an asshole towards me in public, he could kiss my ass. I'm done with him. As I made my way to my locker, he drew my attention and approached me.
"Hey Sav-" I didn't let him finish I was tired and just annoyed with his behavior with me.
"Go away"
"Excuse me?" I ignore him and slam my locker close trying to control my anger and not flip out at him. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing," I say continuing to walk away from him.
He grabbed onto my elbow and whirled me around to face him "There is something wrong. It'll be easier if you just tell me, I can't read minds."
"I have already told you a million times what my problem is but you choose to ignore it. Cage I don't think this is going to work out okay?"
His jaw clenched and jaw unclenched "Savannah, just-"
"I don't care for what you have to say anymore Cage at least not until you figure out what you want. Until then stay away from me." I say this emotionlessly as I'm about to go. I know most people would think I'm acting, but I'm not; I'm simply sick of his not telling me what's going on and of him constantly running away from me. He must first determine his goals before approaching me. With his arms inches from my mouth, he smashes me into the locker behind me and imprisons me. I attempt to shove him away, agitated and irritated. "Cage! Let go of me."
"I already know what I want,"
"Yeah? What's that?" I say back with a firm voice.
"You, Savannah Miller." My breath got caught in my throat. No. I am not falling for this again.
"Kiss my ass, Cage Levi."
He chuckled "I might take you up on that offer but not here Savy, I think we might get kicked out of school."
. . . Present . . .
"Get away from me Cage."
He grabbed my face forcefully making me wince "How many times do I have to tell you? The name is Blaze Zander, not Cage Levi."
I shake my face out of his grip and try to kick him where the sun doesn't shine but he grabbed my leg before it could reach and shoved it back against the door. My body was throbbing in pain now "Please Cage, please let go of me."
He chuckled evilly "What happened to the feisty Savannah? Was that all you had in you?"
He didn't notice I was in pain, "Say the correct name and you will be set free."
No, that name was the only thing I had left of my good memories "C-Cage L-Levi." I managed to get past my lips before darkness engulfed me.
