Chapter 22

22 Avery’s pov I have seen Xade fight before seeing as he is into boxing and all. One memory of him fighting was in high school when a group of boys teased me about being a crybaby. He fought all five of them and came out the victorious one.

All his fights had been bloody, scary and frightening. But tonight, tonight it feels as if he was another person, as if he was an animal with no soul, no leash and no heart.

I have never seen him so merciless and that scared me.

When Kyan saw us he had an ugly sneer on his face, spitting out words of anger and disgust my way and mocked me about bringing my knight in shining armor.

Let’s just say Xade didn’t wait for him to finish and stormed towards him, eyes ablaze with fury. He didn’t care that there were two girls beside Kyan, he just reached forward and gripped his shirt, crinkling it into a fist as he pulled and made him rise to his feet.

I gasped and the music cut off the second Xade’s fist connected with Kyan’s jaw. The sound of bones breaking made me grow cold.

I watch the scene unfold, frozen on the spot, my heart in my throat. I don’t register the screams of the girls around or the loud shouts of the boys who tried to pull Xade off a bloody Kyan.

Kyan was now in the ground, eyes barely opened as Xade’s fists went slamming to his face.

“You’re going to kill him!” Some girl yelled and that pulled me out of my frozen trance because she was absolutely right. If he kept that up, Kyan would be leaving here in a stretcher.

A bloody stretcher. I could already barely recognize his face as Xade rearranged it brutally. My stomach flips and I want to vomit. So much blood.

I rush toward the throng of people as they begin to block me from seeing the two boys fighting. Should I even say fighting when Kyan is barely conscious and fighting back?

I pushed through the bodies, which proved a bit difficult seeing as I am so tiny and despite us being able to fit anywhere, with young adults who were trying to see the fight, was not as easy as you think.

Thankfully I manage to crouch and crawled through their legs, my heart hammering. I wince when some girl stepped on my hand with her heel but I can’t stop to check up my wounds.

I needed to stop Xade before he does something he’d regret.

There’s an animalistic sound of growls as I near and I wonder who was making those sounds. Many didn’t seem to be fazed by it though.

Finally I can see the two boys once more and my heart drop in the pit of my stomach at the sight of Kyan now limp under Xade’s body. His face a bloody and unrecognizable mess.

He looks dead. My heart clenched painfully.

I swallowed, pulling myself to my feet and jumping on Xade’s back.

“

she crazy why did she jump into the fight!?”

“She’s going to get hurt!” Another yelled.

“Micah get her off before she gets harmed in this!”

“Oh my God is the guy dead?”

“He’s killing him. Oh f*ck!” All those voices ring in my head, making very aware of the danger in this.

“Xade stop! Enough! You’ll kill him!” I cried. His back is stiff and he honestly feels as if he is lost in this. I also can hear that those snarls and growls were coming from him.

As he swung his hand back to send another fist to Kyan’s face I grab ahold of it and he freezes. “Please stop Xade, please stop,” I cried, my tears falling to the back of his neck.

The tension leaves his body instantly and I am amazed as he stands up with me still on his back. Everyone is looking, staring at him with fear in their eyes.

His knuckles are bleeding and the stench of blood is more pungent in the air more than the alcohol and weed.

It makes me nauseous and I pull off him, my legs wobbly from suddenly feeling lightheaded. Xade turns around, his wild eyes on me. When he saw my state, his eyes shift with concern and guilt.

“Avery,”

He reaches for me and I shook my head, my vision blurry as I took a step back. “Don’t touch me right now!” I hissed, gagging. My head felt woozy and as my eyes fell on Kyan’s limp body I felt the surge of vomit. crawl up my throat.

I whirl to the side and wrench right on those pretty wooden floors, causing a chorus of yelps and disgust sounds around me. “F*ck,” I heard Xade curse, coming to hold me but I smacked his hand away just 11:47 22 as a male’s voice yelled.

“Someone call 911 he’s not breathing!”
