**Punch...Punch...Punch**I punch the punching bag I had installed in my room...with all my strength I punch it...thinking about how I used to be...before I became this mess...Flashback"So, What does my little princess want for breakfast?" My dad smiled up at me, me sitting on the kitchen counter smiling back at him "Dad, I'm not a little kid anymore, you can't keep calling me your little princess" I said to him and he frowned"Dad? No more daddy" "Yes, dad, that's what the older kids call her their daddy""But, you're still a little girl, Shorty" he said making me smile...he loved calling me Shorty and I loved hearing him call me thatBecause I really am short...shorter than most kids my age but anybody else call me that and you'll see what I'm made of...even momHe's the only one allowed to call me that"No, daddy, I'm a big girl now, I have to do what big girls do" I pouted"Hmm and what do big girls do?" He asked me"They call their mommy and daddy, mom and dad, they are not called little princesses and a bunch of other things...I'll teach you, I've got it planned out" I say shifting to jump off the counter before he pulled me back and looked into my eyes"Listen, Shorty, you can't keep trying to grow up so fast...you need to live life as it comes...Life's what's happening when you're busy making other plans" he said looking seriousEnd of Flashback
"I miss you so much, daddy" I say as I keep punching the bag
I punch for a few before I stopped, looks like the bag's about to break offWalking over to take a sit and drink some water I feel moisture on my chest and that's when I know I've been crying
"I really miss you so so much, daddy"I open up a bottle of water and surprisingly gulped down the whole thing... I didn't know I was that thirsty
My dad died in an accident 10 years ago and let's just say things fell apart...you know how in most families, the mother is the pillar of the family? In my case, my dad was that pillar and with that pillar gone...everything collapsed. I didn't just lose my dad in that accident I lost way more...I lost both my parents, my mom is alive though, it's just she's not herself and we rarely see each other anymore and the only thing she ever talks about at those rare times is my grades which had also gone from very good to extremely bad since dad died 'I'm so disappointed, Danielle' 'Even a fifth grader would have aced this more than you, Danielle' 'Why can't you bring home any good news, Danielle?'
I can't count everything that died that night with my dad but trust me when I say, it was a lot
The happiness in the house died...my good grades...the frequent smiles...the actual care and interest in each other...Now, everyone calls me Danny, except mom 'cos she just likes pissing me off and I've become more a boy than a girl
I've trained every night for the last, let's see, say 9 years more or less...not because I'm expecting a war or anything, just for the fun of it and besides why the hell not?
I can say that I could take down say 100 guys all on my own and I'm not exaggerating and no...I don't train all on my own, I go to the gym too... just haven't in a while '.cos all I ever hear there nowadays is'Danny, you should be a professional fighter,it'll earn you a lot of money and you're really good at it so, why not?'From literally everyone and I'm sick of itNow I'm gonna study a little before I have to get ready for school.
Flashback(10 Years Ago)I hear the front door open and close.Mommy’s home.Chowders sound asleep. He stopped crying a while ago, I think he feels better.Quickly, I grab my test off the table and sprint down the stairs.“Good Evening, mommy” I beam, my smile so wide that my jaw begins to hurt soon.Mommy just nods in acknowledgment as she starts taking off her shoes.“I got a high score on my Math test today” I inform, proudly holding up my B-minus“A B-minus?” She huffs in disbeliefMy smile wavers. I had hoped she was going to be at least a little bit happy but no such luck. A huge lump forms in my throat and I chew my bottom lip, it’s all I can do to not break out in tears.“Come on, D
It’s Saturday and I’m out for a morning jog.My need for a boxing gym has doubled.“Danielle” I hear a familiar voice call and I slow down“Danny” I groan, rolling my eyes.“Good morning to you too” he says sardonically.“About the gym though...” I start, halting in my track.“We could go today” he suggests and I nod eagerly.“In say thirty minutes?” I offer, giving his non-workout outfit a disapproving glance.“Sure” And then he’s gone.I’ve been avoiding the topic of ‘The Truth’ he told me about because I just don’t think I’m ready to face it.I know running away from or in my case, avoiding your problems is never the right thing to do but I’m sure whoever came up with that saying didn’t just find out about their past lives or met a awesome human who’s apparently lived centuries.So, here, avoiding the topic really does seem like the right thing to do.Jamie...bless him...probably sensed how uncomfortable that
I unlock the door to my apartment with a wide a*s grin because that’s what Jamie does to you-makes you smile so much your jaw hurts.Just as I throw my bag down and my butt connects with the couch, an incoming video call from Beth pops up on the Mac Pro which I left powered on the table.Quickly, I accept it, wishing this damn grin off my face as I sit on the floor right in front of the table.“Hey, stranger” she beams“Hello, beautiful stranger” I respond, grinning like a fool.“Someone looks happy” she smiles“I think I am” I reply, suddenly remembering to ask her “Beth, did you by any chance tell Brit what I like to have for dessert?”“No” she squints her eyes “Why?”“Nothing important” I shrug “I was just wondering”“More than 10 years, Danny” she stares impassively at me and I frown in confusion before she continues “...and you still think I don’t know when you’re lying? Spit it out”“What?” I go for nonchalance
The last time this happened we spent a night in jail.His words float over us as we stare each other in the eyes.Jamie breaks the silence "No...Uh...I mean, the last time I um...had faith in a woman's driving skills"It's obvious he's lying and usually I'll let it go but not this time- it's been three long months of constant lies and I'm sick of it.For some odd reason though, it kinda hurts that he doesn't trust me enough to tell me the truth."Okay, I guess this is happening now" I whisper and turn my focus back to driving- except I don't go home, I pull over to the side of the road."What is?" He breathes."You're telling me the truth, the whole truth" I unstrap my seatbelt and turn to face him."What truth?" He go
“See, it’s the exact same boring sound” my boss huffs “We need to make it stand out. I need ideas, people”It’s been three months since I started working here.Jamie’s my boss...it’s the worst feeling ever but thankfully he’s not here all the time.He’s not here right now and Jack seems to be loosing it.There’s a top singer in the booth and we’re meant to produce this song but Jack doesn’t like the way it sounds and frankly, neither do I.But who am I to say anything?I think I can do something to make it better but...I’m just Danny, the high school graduate.Yup, that’s what everyone here knows me for. High school graduate, it’s annoying.“Anybody?” Jack pleads
It's been a while since I last went to a gym and something feels really off."Hey, Britney" I greet as Brit comes into view."Hello" she beams "went for a morning jug, I see""Yeah...and you're going out?" I ask"Yeah, school""Oh ok, have fun" I say in a goodbye bid."The only fun thing about school is my Music Teacher" she winks."Oh..um, Brit..where can I find a boxing gym around here?" I ask, remembering my need for a gym."A boxing gym? What do you need that for?" Her brows furrow."Uh..boxing?" I give her a weird look."You box?" She looks vaguely surprised.I hum in response before adding "...and wrestle, fight Kung fu, a little bit of karate""Wow, I would hate to have been David that night" she jokes."As much as he des
