Good Baguette/Bad Baguette: A Punch-Out Fanfic

Glass Joe's Corruption

Glass Joe yawned as he came out the boxing ring building, he was tired (and bruised up) after a long day of fighting, he slipped into his bright blue bugatti and he drove home. He was indeed tired, but he had to make one quick stop to the hospital, to visit his sick, cancer-infected niece, Marie. She was only two years old when he disease was announced and she was three now.

"Marie.... I'm coming..." he said under his breath as he began parking into the hospital. He got an emergency text from his sister that his niece was dying, so he came over quick.The child was lying in her hospital bed, eyes hollow and staring off into the ceiling, she then turned to her uncle, staring at her worried. She muttered,

"Uncle Joe?"

"Oui, I'm here.."

"Glad you made it....did you get the money?"

He looked away and then back at her,

"No.....I'm sorry..."

Her glowing face then turned dark and somber,

"Oh....."

"I tried! I'm sorry and everything!"

The family stared at Joe, they had a face of worry and shock, thank the Lord they weren't mad with him. She had always looked up to him and now she was going to pass off into the next world.

"UNGH!" she grunted.

The nurses wheeled the child into the emergency room and while the family waited for them to announce that she was deceased, Glass Joe ran after them and he squeezed her hands,

"Please don't leave.... Please..."

"Well... you did lose the money to help me.. But that's okay, I still love you" she muttered her last breath and the heart rate machine stopped,

"--BEEEEEEEP!--"

Glass Joe's world fell apart, he didn't want to believe that he lost the person he loved the most, his mind span, his eyes watered, he then broke down crying on her hospital bed.

"Mon dieu...."

His heart grew cold and his eyes went hollow. He bid his family goodbye and kissed the dead girl on her cheek then left.

He sat on his couch in the small apartment he lived in, he pulled out his phone and sent a group text to his friends/other boxers of the WVBA
