Four years ago...

"Hey Storm," Ty said, making his way over to my locker. I gave him a smile waving my hand. "Wanna hang out after school?" He asked.

"Sure! What do you want to do?" I asked him, closing my locker.

"Well, I was thinking of going to this boxing match that's happening just outside of town. Do you want to come?" He eagerly asked.

"Ty, you know how much I hate that stuff," I said, slumping my head.

"I know, but Storm, please! I was finally able to get the tickets," he begged.

He knew I hated anything that had to do with fighting, blood, and violence; I just couldn't handle any of it.

But I knew Ty loves it. He enjoys watching and fighting, and he was also really good at it. I mean, I don't understand why he loves it so much, but he does, and no matter how much I hate it, I will support him.

"Umm, fine. But this is the last time," I said, knowing damn well he will drag me to another one very soon.

"Yes, I promise," he winked. I rolled my eyes, both of us laughing.

"What you guys both laughing about?" the tall, handsome Asian boy whose name was Cassian asked.

"Hey, Cas. Nothing really, we were just talking about the match," Ty said, pulling out the tickets from his pockets.

"You guys are going?" he said, pulling out his.

"No way! Hey, why don't we all go together,"

"Ya, I'm down,"

"Storm?"

"Ya for sure. I can't wait!" I awkwardly smiled.

-

Getting ready for this fight seems to be impossible. It was even worse when Cassian was also coming along.

Cassian was lovely and sweet to me. And I really liked hanging out with him. But he also made me nervous.

I never really had a good relationship with anyone except Tyler but having another person was completely different and new to me, and I was still getting used to it.

But I enjoyed being around him, and I knew one day I'd be more comfortable with him.

I looked through my closet, looking at various outfits, but I really wasn't sure what to wear to a boxing match. I mean, do I dress entirely like a badass girl or the innocent girl.

It took me about 2 hours to figure out what to wear but finally settled on some black ripped jeans and a loose white top.

I put my hair up in a high ponytail and wore a little bit of mascara and some lip balm.

And made my way downstairs to wait for them. My parents weren't home either, so I left them a quick note letting them know I'll be home late.

I debated just going over to Ty's house, but I really didn't want to run into his horrible brother.

So, I just texted Ty to come over here instead. He replied with thumbs emoji.

Soon after, I heard the car honk outside to see Ty's black dodge. I quickly gathered my phone and bag and made my way out to his car.

I opened the passenger door out of habit to always sitting next to him but stopped when I saw none other than Tyler's brother Liam sitting there.

I pulled back so hard that I almost lost balance and fell onto my ass but didn't because Liam, out of all people, held my arm, preventing me from falling.

I looked at him, surprised, but he only smirked at me before letting go of my hand with a slight push and this time, I did fall. My butt hit the hard pavement while my arms scratched along the sidewalk.

I groaned in pain.

"LIAM!" Ty yelled. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" He asked. Liam only shrugged his shoulder with a grin.

Tyler got out of the car, quickly rushing to my side, helping me up. He dusted off the rocks that were stuck to me.

"Sunshine, you're bleeding. Hold on, let me go get you Band-Aid," he said, trying to go back to his house, but I held his elbow, stopping him.

"It's okay, Ty, I'm fine," I told him.

"No, Storm, you're hurt," he said, taking my arm on his own.

"It's okay, Ty. I really am fine. Let's just go. We're going to be late," I informed him.

"But-"

"Let's go," I told him. He looked at me hesitantly before nodding his head, and we walked back to the car.

He opened the back door for me before returning to the driver's seat.

"I'll kill you if you do that ever again," he warned his brother, but he only did shrug his shoulder and said: "then I guess you'll have to kill me,"

Ty opened his mouth to say something, but a phone call interrupted him, and he only glared at Liam before answering the call.

"Ya Cas, We'll be there in a few minutes," he said before hanging up the phone and drove away.

I caught Liam's eyes staring back at me, but his expression was unreadable, but somehow this was scarier.

-
We arrived at the boxing ring a short while later.

"You guys go in. I'll catch up with you later," Cas said, disappearing behind the door.

"Alright, then. Let's go," Ty stated. I nodded my head and followed him.

I noticed that Liam was no longer with me, which was a relief.

Tyler took me to the front, where all the crowd were cheering loudly. I looked over a Tyler and cringed. "I hate this," I told him. He chuckled, "Trust me, its only getting started,"

People around me were covered in tattoos and piercing with crop tops and ripped clothes. I felt completely out of place. But it was too late to change and walk away right now.

The crowd got louder when the first opponent game onto the ring.

"Scar Scar Scar!" everyone chanted louder.

He was tall, ripped bald man. He had a scar along with his eyes and a familiar bat tattoo on his neck. People screamed and shouted for him, and I almost blocked my ears at the loud noise.

"Is Cas coming?" I screamed at Ty.

"Ya, he should be here," he said, looking around for him.

The crowd got louder, and the noise was twice as loud when the second boxer entered the ring.

"Knight Knight Knight"

"Uh, found him," Tyler says, pointing over at the guy in the ring who was none other than Cas.

My mouth fell open to see Cas standing opposite the other fighter. Cas was way smaller than him. He looked like he could crush him in a matter of seconds.

I never expected to see Cassian against him. I never even expected him to be a boxer.

The first punch was thrown, I buried my head in Ty's shoulder, not wanting to see him get hurt.

"Destroy him, Knight,"

"Ya finish him,"

"Yes, Knight,"

People screamed around me. I opened my eyes, removing myself against Tyler's hold to see Cassian destroying the other opponent.

I did not expect to be able to beat him. But he was not only beating him. He was destroying him.

He threw punches after punches, barely even getting a scratch on himself.

I looked up to him, speechless, and he caught my eyes winking at me before returning to his match.

-
Cassian won.

He won.

I still couldn't believe how absolutely he crushed the other guy.

"Hey, guys!" Cassian said, catching up to us.

"Hey, man. You killed it up there!" Tyler said. "I didn't even know you could fight like that,"

"Ya, they told me to get on at the last minute. The guy that was supposed to fight bailed," he said, running his hand against his hair.

"Well, you scared me for sure," I say.

"Ya, you did look terrified," he chuckled.

"Hey, I wasn't terrified. I was merely concerned," I stated.

"Sure, whatever you say," he said, rubbing my hair giving me a charming smile.

Cassian, whether he was a boxer or not, I knew even if he tried to act tough in the ring, he was still the nice sweet person I met for the first time.

And I also knew we are going to be good friends.

He and Tyler are all going to be good friends for a very long time, and I couldn't be happier.
