• The countdown was to ten, Xayne watched the Referee stare at her again and again while the blonde moved around with each step of confidence and victory.
• All that the brunette heard was the echoing bell sound of the bell mixed with the loud cheer of the spectators.
• "Jenna! Jenna!".They hailed as she raised her fist up in victory.
• The medical team entered into the ring with a stretcher and put her on the it.
• She groaned softly closing her eyes and they carried her out.
• That was Xayne Cruz, The eighteen year old boxer who is hell bent on winning at least one match but that is always impossible.
• "I warned you to reduce your aggression in the ring?". A Man said following after the team who dropped her.
• "I'm fine". Xayne said and she rose up from the stretcher.
• The men helped her up and she took a bottle of water from one.
• "Can you actually hear me Xayne?". The Man inquired as he stood at akimbo.
• "You're a hell of a fvcking Manager?” She cursed and she turned to him.
• "Aggression Xayne, it’s eating you up”. He said.
• "I respect your talks Mr. Martin but where were you when the crowd screamed Jenna like their lives depended on it".
• "Because she earned it and you have to”. He said with a wide stare.
• "You call that aggression, isn’t that the aim, knock the fvck outta your damn opponent".
• "You can't control yours Xayne, you lose control and she seizes that opportunity always". Mr. Martin said.
• "You blame me now?”
• "That's not what i meant?”
• "i totally get it and I’m fvcking down with you,Shitty Manager”. She cursed picking her jacket.
• "Xayne you have to rethink.........."
• "There's nothing to rethink, Goodnight Manager". Xayne said and walked away.
• She stopped at the restroom and pushed the door open.
• Her eyes popped on hearing soft moan.
• It was two couple who were probably spectators at the match kissing passionately.
• "Does this place actually look like home?". She asked and they turned to her in shock.
• They let out a creepy smile as they found they way out.
• "Hush!". She said and kicked the door closed.
• Xayne leaned against the wall with eyes closed as her defeat replayed in her memory.
• She roared angrily hitting the mirror of which caused it to crack.
• With bleeding hand she left the restroom walking down the hallway.
• Her phone buzzed but she ignored the call and she continued moving.
• "Hey loser". She heard a voice and turned to see a group of girls.
• They giggled and they purposely walked out of sight increasing her anger.
• Xayne clenched her fist and made to take a step but quickly hid behind the wall hearing the voices of another group of girls.
• She let them walk past the place before she took off speedily.
• This was her everyday life of defeat, she kept trying but the more she did, the more she failed.
• Xayne walked down the lonely street sliding her hand into her pocket.
• It was dark already except for the illumination caused by the street light.
• Whistling to an unknown song
• she let the frustration out.
• She finally got to a bungalow where she didn't bother to hit the bell but she pushed open the door and in.
• The lights became active and there was a lady in pajamas leaving against the door post of the kitchen.
• "You're back".
• "Yes I'm, Good night Aunt Monica".
• "How did it go again? You failed, didn't you?". She asked and Xayne paused.
• "I guess I've been tagged as a failure". She fired turning back.
• "No, that's not what I mean baby". Aunt Monica whispered abd moved at her.
• "Don't call me that, I'm not your damn daughter, My parents died a year ago".
• "She was my sister also, Xayne".
• "If Mom was here, she would support me, if no one one cheer 'Xayne' out of the crowd, she will but no, you all are against me.
• "No we love you Xayne".
• "You fvcking don't, all you care is taking the credit that you took your niece in".
• "I take care you you Xayne, I pay your school levies, I provide everything for you, I'm trying to be the best mother for you".
• "You are not my mother and you can never be close to what she was".
• "Do you mutter all this because I'm against your boxing career, huh?". Aunt Monica asked angrily.
• "You don't care for me else you'll be there to cheer me up,that's what a mother does".
• "You don't teach me how to be a mother Xayne, that path of violence your parent would hate".
• "Just stop acting like you know about them, I don't need your fvcking cheer, I don't need anyone to scream Xayne cos I'm gonna kick someone's ass in that ring, one day aunt!". She screamed and climbed up the stairs with her shoes making some noise.
• "Xayne". Aunt Monica called out but she was out of sight already.

• chirping of crickets could be heard from the woods.
• The heavy wind blew twisting tall trees around as it was about to rain.
• A lightning strike down
• Xayne's window reflecting it's light on her face causing her to roll to the edge of the bed fast asleep.
• .
• .
• .
• "Dad it's getting really dark". Xayne said leaning against a Dodge Viper GTS beside the road.
• It was night already and the only the moon was the source of illumination.
• "This should work". A Man said closing the bonnet of a vehicle.
• The ignition of the vehicle began and Xayne cheered happily.
• "I told ya, he's gonna fix it". A middle aged woman said getting down from the driver's seat.
• "Mom, Don't hype Dad like always". Xayne said and she got into the vehicle.
• "Whatever, he fixed it". Xayne's Mom said returning to the driver's seat.
• Her husband sat beside her and they drove off with the headlight brightening the path ahead.
• "Dad it's my birthday tomorrow". Xayne whispered leaning against her Father's seat.

• "Are you advertising?". Mrs. Cruz asked.
• "Maybe..Get me a Vehicle instead". Xayne said and moved back to her seat.
• "Don't say no, I'm gonna be eighteen tomorrow, I can't wait". She said happily and laid on the passenger's seat.
• "The passenger's seat is never your bed, Xayne". Mrs. Cruz said.
• "I need take a nap mother". She said closing her eyes.
• "Sweet dreams, baby". She could hear their voices at the same time.
• "There's a fog ahead, drive slow". She could hear Mr. Cruz voice but she didn't bother to get her eyes open.
• It happened so fast in the twinkle of an eye as the vehicle hit something really hard.
• Xayne opened her eyes as she fell off the seat.
• The vehicle was somersaulting into the woods with the loud echo of her mom's scream.
• .
• .

• .
• Xayne's eyes suddenly opened just as she woke from the nightmare.
• She turned to the other side of the bed and the rising sun ray pierced into her eyes.
• "Mom". She whispered as tears filled her eyes.
• Her alarm rang loudly and she slammed it to stop angrily.
• She rose from the bed in her pajamas and moved to the cabinet where she took a portrait.
• "I miss you". She whispered and heard the horn of a vehicle.
• She moved to her window and looked down to see a girl of her age seated on the bonnet of a Ferrari Dino 246 GTS.
• "Xayne, it's fvcking time for school". She screamed.
• That was Celestine, her neighbor and best friend behind their building.
• She was a blonde, same height with Xayne but had her hair made in a pigtail style.
• "I know that babe".
• "It's 7am Xayne, Get your ass down then!". Celestine screamed.
• "A minute".
• "You mean an hour?". She asked.
• "Help Grandma do some dishes while I get ready". Xayne said and pulled the roller blinds down.
• "Xayne!". She could hear Celestine's loud voice.
• She let out a creepy smile as she took off and pajamas set moving into the bathroom.
