Chapter 27

Faith

Slipping from the hospital bed quietly, as to not disturb Marco, I go into the bathroom and close the door.

He thought I was sleeping last night when he talked to his sister. I didn’t want to eavesdrop, but I also didn’t want to move from his arms.

He’s never going to step away from fighting.

Never.

The thought of that alone is enough to make the pit in my stomach grow. Watching him hit that mat is something I’ll never be able to get out of my brain. His body was limp. He wasn’t moving.

For a split second, the worst flipped through my brain, but I had to shut that down fast. I couldn’t think that way. If I did, I wouldn’t be functioning.

I lean against the door and pull my cell phone from my pocket and swipe across the bottom to unlock it. I’m immediately flooded with messages and alerts I didn’t hear before because it was on silent.

Nora has texted me more times than I can count and called just as much. Rose. My parents. Case. Amelia.

I’ve got emails and notifications from social media that I decide to clear out immediately. I pull down my menu and open up Twitter and see Marco’s name is a trending topic in the USA.

Oh no…

I click the hashtag and it opens a list of tweets that mention his name. There are news articles, clips of the knockout happening, reactions, press releases, and there are a variety of tweets with varying different tones. Most of which make me sick to my stomach.

He’s so hot! Please don’t let him be broken!

Tweet From @Just_Justice

Serves him right. Have you SEEN how arrogant he is?

Tweet From @xxxGamerBro_8

Who is this Falcon Masen everyone is talking about? Never heard of him in my life.

Tweet From @BraxTheKingWhite

Let’s take a poll! Will #FalconMasen be too much of a pussy to fight me?

Tweet From @BraxTheKingWhite

Maybe his hot ass sister can take me for a few rounds, if you know what I mean.

Tweet From @BraxTheKingWhite

Calling it now, if Falcon shows up to our fight at the end of this week, I’m guaranteeing a solid knockout in the first thirty seconds.

Tweet From @BraxTheKingWhite

And while he’s down there, he can suck my dick like the little bitch he is.

Oh my God. Who is this asshole? Who does he think he is?

I click his name to see his Twitter page, and he’s instantly a piece of work I’d love to punch square in the face. The type who thinks he rules the world because he has a penis. Who thinks he is a gift to women and we should all bow down before him and he is above the rules.

The type of man who doesn’t understand the word no.
