You Knock Me Down の小説・ストーリー

As I don’t move fast enough, being frozen by fear and her furious screaming, she loses it ultimately. “Move!” Her shrill scream pierces through my body just before she lands her first kick. Her feeble and uncoordinated blows wouldn’t do much damage if I weren’t chronically malnourished and bruised. I whimper, clenching my teeth and waiting for her to get out of breath. As it usually happens, the old dame doesn’t have enough stamina to hit me for longer than a minute. I prefer her to my masters on any day. While she catches her breath and continues to scream at me, I finally can move to pick up the shards with shaking hands.

“...Please give me money.” I really kneeled down.

"Kay, what are you doing? Please, put the gun down, you're scaring me.put it down, please." The younger version of me in the video begged, my voice was of a little girl, I was 15 at the time, he was going to turn 18 in a few weeks. "Please, Kay— we can find help, proper help this time and we'll get you more medicines and a proper psychologist. Please, we can find help and we can get through this. Please, Kay. Don't do it."

“Stone hard, machine gun Firing at the ones who run Stone hard, as bulletproof glass” And for my old friends. That even if they deceived me, I would never fall. I will never kneel before them. And most of all, I will never look miserable in front of them. “You shoot me down, but I won’t fall I am titanium You shoot me down, but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down, but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down, but I won't fall I am titanium” When I finished the song people immediately shouted and screamed.

As if fate was playing tricks with me, I was pushed and I fell on top of none other than Knox Volkov's lap! Shīt. Are you kidding me?!

K's getting hit on again by another guy. You've gotta be shitting me.

It's enough for me to lose myself. I'm going to come. Right now. I can feel it. “Fuckkkkkk! Derrick don't stop! I'm going to—Shit I'm going to—” I'm at the cliff again. I'm right at the edge, just about to fall over… When a loud knock bellows in the room.

Plush carpets covered the marble floor, their gentle touch welcoming me home. But as I attempted to turn, my foot caught in the intricate folds of the dress, causing me to lose my balance. My heart skipped a beat as I stumbled, feeling my legs wobble beneath me. I reached out for support, desperately trying to regain my composure, but it was too late. I knew I was going down. “”Damn it, why do I keep falling down! Is this some kind of karma!”” I shouted hissing In that split second, Knight's sharp instincts took over. With lightning speed, he darted towards me, his strong arms outstretched.

I sway like a drunk, blood dripping from my mouth, and I laugh again, broken, wet and unhinged. “Again,” I rasp. Knox’s face twists with anger, guilt, love and hate. He hits me with everything he’s got, a right hook that snaps my head sideways and sends me sprawling. I taste dirt and copper. I crawl back up. Titan kicks me in the chest. Something else cracks. I wheeze, collapse, roll onto my back, and stare up at the grey sky, chest heaving. “Stay down, Echo,” Knox says, voice rough.

Besides, with a quick headcount, it seemed like there'd be even teams today. Wrong. The first time someone knocked me down, I thought it was an accident. Just a shoulder bump that caught me off guard. No biggie. I got back up and kept playing. The second time, it hurt more. I hit my knees hard, and someone stepped on my fingers as I tried to catch myself. It stung, but again—no biggie. I picked myself up and kept going. The third time, it clicked. This wasn't an accident. A sharp kick to the back of my leg sent me crashing to the ground.
