Through The Hoop

Fighting Over Me?

The fight started.

My nerves were bouncing inside of me, I don't like this, I don't like this at all.

*Asher throughs the first punch, luckily misses from Tegan doging it. Tegan throughs a punch hitting Asher's jaw bone with a thud, Asher hits the ground only to get back up one more time with his jaw bruised.*

*doging Asher's fast punch at him with a duck, Tegan punches Asher in the stomach*

I can't take this anymore!!

Asher falls on the ground with a thump. I walk between them before Tegan could do anything else. "STOP!" I walk in-between the two boys, hands on eaither directions.

What did I do?

My head tilts towards my feet, "stop" I whisper, i move my head to face everyone. "You guys are fighting over me, no. If either of you guys want me, its definitely not through fighting, stop! I-" I stop for a moment.

This is the hardest decision ever.

"I chose neither of you, if you keep fighting." I tilt my head back to my feet. "Natalie" Tegans voice cracked. "Tegan dont" I say, I put my hands to my sides, my eyes started to water, I walk away from behind the school and into my car. Tegan chases after me.

"NATALIE! NATALIE! PLEASE!" Tegan struggles to catch up with me. I sit in my car and turn it on, Tegan knocks on the window on my car. I stay facing forward but roll down the window. "What?" My voice cracks, "please, give me another chance, let me explain" "get in" I unlock the car. I gets into the passenger side of the car.

,"just because I'm driving you home doesn't mean im not mad, cause I am" I say. "Ya" he looks at his feet, "thank you" "for what?" I ask, "for everything" "ok."

I pull into his driveway, ,"thank you" I say facing Tegan. "For what?" "For caring for me, even when you meet my horrible family" "oh, well it's easy" "ok, can I ask you a favour?" "Go ahead" "please don't fight ever again."
