Fight! [4]
This side of ME
Trigger Warning: self-harm
Sara
I entered the bathroom searching for my blade. I haven't self-harmed in weeks but I needed it today. I know it is not the solution. But it made me feel like I have power over something.
I found it in my drawer. I held it tight my hand, my hand was trembling. I held it close to my wrist and started sliding through my skin. It hurts but I liked it. You wouldn't understand unless you do it or used to do it.
I was sitting on the floor of my bathroom, looking at the blood on my hands. I stood up, I was looking at myself in the mirror. I looked pale like I hadn't slept in days I looked down at my hands. "If Mum was here she would be so disappointed," I thought to myself. This thought alone made me wanna throw up.
I cleaned my now scarred hand grabbed a jacket and headed to the nearest shop, I was looking for a pocket knife I can't be in that situation again. I can feel everybody's eyes pouring into my soul, it is like they know. And it scared me.
"Sara you're just being paranoid, how can they know"
I said trying to calm myself it didn't help though.
I headed to the cashier paid and started walking back home.
I was holding onto the knife like my life depended on it. I get very scared when someone walks behind me it's like everyone is just out there to get me.
I returned home and just sat there crying in my bed. I can't live my life like this.
I skipped school today I just couldn't go. Thank god dad left without releasing I was here.

Asher
I was preparing for the fight when Alex came in. "Are you ready man?" he said patting my back. "Yeah," I answered simply.
I know what you are saying illegal wrestling, really!! Yeah, it helps me control my anxiety and anger issues. Today is the semi-finals, I'm going to wrestle the one and only Issac Ronald.
This man is 6ft tall and he have a well-muscled body. But they don't call me lighting for no reason, I'm fast, it is not because I'm talking about myself but that's what people call me. I'm not very muscled so I'm light weighted which makes me move a bit fast.
Chris entered the room. "It's time"he said excitingly. I left the room and headed to the ring.
Damn, there is a lot of people I thought to myself.
I entered the ring and stood on my spot.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen today we have on the left side Issac Ronald" the commentator shouted. The crowd started shouting. "And on the right theeee lightning"he continued. The crowd shouted again.
I never thought this many people would come. And damn this Issac is twice my size I thought to myself. I'm not scared but I will not say I'm not anxious.
The bell rang indicating the start of the match.
We were circling each other he was big which means he get tired faster. Our breathes were heavy, then it exploded into motion as he lunged forward.
He strikes a punch to my face but I dodge it with ease. He launched another one but this time I dodge it and hit him in the abdomen.
He cried in pain but quickly recovered. He launched a one straight to my face. I couldn't dodge this one, and I felt dizzy. Damn he is good. My nose started dripping blood. And I think I heard a crack.
He then kicked me again and again. But I didn't black out. He then elbowed me straight to the face.
I ducked under it, pivoted, and quickly delivered a sharp kick to his stomach and then his guts, then I started punching him in the face one after another not giving him a chance to hit back.
Until he went flying to the ground , unconscious.My whole body was aching. He is sure a tough man. I had a sharp pain in my stomach but I ignored. At least I have control over this pain.
Sara
The moment I opened the door to my house. I saw dad. "Look who. Finally decided arriving"he slurred. He was so drunk and it was obvious.
He grabbed my hair in a fist. "Where were you Sara and remember no lies" he hissed.
"I was at the store I swear dad" I stuttered. He slapped me with his other hand without letting go of my hair.
"I thought we said no lying"
"I'm not dad I swear, please I have school tomorrow, this is a new school I cant have visible cuts" I begged again.
He pushed me to the floor making me hit my back with the table, and kicked me. Then went and laid on the sofa. "Get up before I come and do it myself" he shouted. He know I'm right, that's why he let go off me.
I tried to get up but failed. I tried again with my full strength and thankfully succeeded. I started taking the stairs to my room, every step was like I was getting. Beat up again, but I needed to rest.
The moment I reached my room I laid down carefully. He kicked me on the abdomen which if you don't know hurts ten times more than on the stomach. I cried myself to sleep, again it is like a routine.
Asher
I was at Alex House celebrating my win. Yeah I won I never thought I would but I did.
Alex and Chris Dont know about dad, I didn't tell them, I don't want anyone's pity.
"So man what are we going to watch this time, we haven't watched Ali for along time I think we should rewatch" Chris suggested. "Thats fine with me"Alex answered. "Yeah it been a while" I agreed.

SARA
I woke up feeling terrible. Every inch of me hurts, my whole body aches, I stood up and went to wash my face I look at the mirror to find a huge bruise forming in the shape of a hand where he slapped me yesterday. I sighed.
I opened the shower on hot water . The moment I entered the shower it stinged me that I hissed, but it always like that for the first couple of seconds, then my body visibly relaxed.
I was wearing my clothes when my phone rang. Oh it's Anne, my childhood friend, she is the only one who stayed with me after mum death, even though she is in an other state she always call to check on me.
"Hey girl how is everything going?"she asked. "Yeah good how is your mum?" I answered. "Yeah she is good, look I've got something to tell you" she said excitingly.
"Ohh someone have good news tell me" "well I got accepted to my dream university!!" She screamed."Oh my god congratulations, you deserve it girl, you putted your sweat and tears into that exam" I recalled.
Suddenly I heard Dad walking up the stairs, "umm Anne can I call you back" "Yeah yeah that's alright" she answered and I quickly grabbed my bag and phone and climbed down the window.
I walked to a nearby park and took out my foundation and mirror from my bag I always keep them there for an emergency, I have to hide the bruises on my face before going to school. I'm wearing a long sweatshirt and jeans so the rest aren't visible. I covered the bruise and started heading to school.
The moment I entered school everyone was looking at me and whispering. I felt like something was off but I just brushed it off.
