Sierras POV
Friday
After Tuesday, Hayden has came by every morning and night to check up which made me annoyed.
I guess I just got so used to being alone for these past 5 years.
Jorge and Manny stopped trying to look for me which was good because I don't want to put them in danger by them getting too close to me.
I've been getting better so far but I do wonder what they have in store for the Rookie. The Italians haven't had anyone new for the past 4 years.
That's why I've been getting targeted. I've won al the fighters including Ace in the ring when I was a rookie. After a year and a half of me fighting they let me lay off as a bartender because they didn't want me to die... yet.
If the rookie does show up at the bar I can see that he is still fine and if he doesn't I guess they have gotten him before I could have warned him.
Heading to the cafe I order my food and pay for it. I find a free table and sit on it enjoying my lunch comfortable.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Kiara entering the cafe with Brittany and her other two friends who I didn't care to remember their names.
Ignoring them I take out my computer and start on the essay due tonight. I don't have anytime to waste.
My computer soon closes and I see there they are, sitting in front of me.
"what do you guys want?" I ask raising an eyebrow at them.
Kiara looks at me pissed and Brittany just smiles at me.
The weekend is about to start and they are already ruining it for me.
Brittany then turns serious and leans in reals close. "Listen, Sierra. Get away from MY boyfriend" She says.
She has a boyfriend?
"you do realize in order to be jealous of someone talking to your boyfriend, you have to have one first right?" I say basically wanting to laugh but I keep a bored face on.
"Stay away from Hayden or else" Brittany warns ignoring my comment.
I lean in real close to her but she doesn't back out.
"Or else what?" I ask with a playful smirk.
"Or else I will reveal your secrets" Brittany says glancing back at Kiara.
I start to laugh when she says that knowing that I haven't told Kiara anything.
"Oh honey, it isn't like you guys have anything one me either way. In our "friendship" like you guys call it, it was mostly her talking then I" I say looking at Kiara and that's when I notice a bruise in her neck peeking out form her turtle neck.
That's when Hayden comes up to our table and doesn't even spare a glance at them.
"Baby!" Brittany exclaims but all Hayden does is roll his eyes.
"We should be heading out" Hayden says and that's when Brittany gets up with her purse and clings onto his arm.
"Let's go, baby" Brittany says looking at me as if she has won.
Whatever goes into her ear comes out through the other. I feel bad that Hayden has to deal with her.
"For the last time Brittany. It was only a one night stand, Nothing else" Hayden says shaking her off.
She looks up at him with a pouty face. "I thought we had something going on"
Hayden then makes a signal for me to hurry up and that's when I start to grab my stuff.
"I don't know what made you think we were something after the one night stand but just so you won't get confused I'll say it right now. We are nothing. Leave me and Sierra alone from now on" Hayden says and with that we are off.
After a few minutes of walking in silence I finally decide to brake the ice.
"Don't you think you went a little hard on her?" I ask him.
Even I felt embarrassed for her. Especially since all of her friends were there watching it all go down.
Not gonna lie I would have laughed but I didn't want things to get way more embarrassing than it was.
"It was time I finally set her straight" Is all he says as he opens the car door for me.
"If you say so" I say getting in.

Stretching in the locker rooms I look at myself in the body mirror.
Here I am in the dark lighted locker room of the underground, my hair in two French braids, black basketball shorts, black workout tank top, hands wrapped up in tape, and a black mask on.
It's been so long since I've been back but I've been practicing better at a different gym ever since I found out that Hayden started going to the one in the building.
Turning my back on my reflection I start to walk out of the locker room upon hearing my name over the intercom.
Let's get this show over with.
When I finally come out it was dead quiet. I could have probably hear a pen drop if one were to drop.
Everyone already had their heads turned to look at me in shock, amusement, and excitement.
It made a rush of adrenaline spread thoroughly my veins once I get onto the ring. This time I didn't feel the slight pain from the healing wounds.
Eyeing my opponent I see that's its one of the fighters that I saw at the meeting with all the other Mafias.
They call her Rey.
She's new to this side of the city since she was relocated here. She's been fighting in this ring for about a year. I've seen all her fighting styles, her movements, her strongest strategy's, and most importantly her weakest.
She fights for the Italians and most people believe that she is me. They believe her to be the Italian leaders daughter because of the nickname she got in her old ring.
That's why she fights cocky at times.
We get into position and I can already tell which side she favors more and that's her left side.
Rey smirks at me and starts going over my stance.
Just by her facial expression I can tell that she is still trying to figure me out.
"You both know the rules inside the ring so I won't be having to go over them" Jefferson says in the middle of us.
We both nod and he looks around to the crowd before turning back to us.
"1
2
3"
With that the match began and we started to circle each other for a solid 2 minutes before she got impatient and threw a right hook that I knew was a fake.
I dodge her attempt of her trick that I know oh so well.
She swings two more times with her left before we circle each other again.
She try's to get me impatient by not swinging but I've gained more patience in the ring even though she looks older then I do.
"What are you playing at newbie?" She spats our throwing a left swing that I once again dodge.
I don't show any expression that signals her that I'm annoyed about what she said.
She's already getting impatient. She throws a punch after another that I block and dodge.
I finally swing at her which landed on the side of her face.
She doesn't have enough time to react before I'm already pounding onto her face and on her stomach.
She managed to dodge some but it wasn't long until I got her in her jaw knocking her out.
I look down at her limp body knowing that she never stood a chance with me in the ring.
Finally I hear the cheer of the crowd and I feel Jefferson holding my hand up high.
I look up to the window where I see Russo, Mac, and Hunter glaring down at me while Andy looks down at me with a satisfied smile.
I don't show any emotions on my face looking up at all of them.
Scanning the crowd the first set of eyes that I noticed were the Rookies. He was looking at me with what seemed interest.
Looks like I'm going to have to do more hard work to be able to beat all of these fighters on the night of the ball.
