Astrid

                                    

                                          
I graduated high school and went to college but still didn't have it figured out what I wanted to do in life so I dropped out and was living off of my parents money. Well my money but I think you get it. Ezra inherited her dads company so she was big balling with money and I was so happy for her. We recently moved to Cali but not in together just bought houses right next to each other. Impulse decision? Maybe.
"I got tickets to this huge match that's going on tonight and I want you coming with me no if ands or buts". These are the words Ezra said to me this morning and I didn't even get a say in anything because she hung up on me before I could even ask what time but she made sure to text me when I needed to be ready by and that time was coming so I went to shower and did what I needed to do. I got out the shower and went towards my closet. I grabbed a black long sleeve crop top and some light boyfriend jeans then my Birkenstock sandals and tote then headed downstairs and out the door.
I ran down the street and to her house cause I know she was gonna yell at me not for not being late and she was getting her car out the garage so I was just in time and she had a huge smile on her face. I hopped in the passenger seat out breathe while the wind hit my face as she drove past the speed limit to wherever we were going. It was pretty dark by the time we arrived to this huge stadium and it cold as hell so we rushed inside quick. 
"Okay the boxers are coming out now hopefully their hot" Ezra said nudging me giggling. 
Not understanding why she wanted me to come here but I already don't like the atmosphere. All I see is men and woman with bodies filled with tattoos and it just isn't too nerve calming at all. "Oh my god" I heard Ezra say and I turned immediately. And when I seen what she seen my eyes immediately widened, is that Micah. 
"Your name is tatted on his skin bitch" she said smiling. 
"I wanna leave" I said rolling my eyes at her. It had been 4 years since I've seen Micah and he looked different. He tried reaching out to me 2 years ago but I didn't wanna speak to him and after that I didn't hear from him again. He buzzed his hair and he got his other sleeve done, wow he looked a complete different person. He was inside the ring and when he looked up I looked down so I wouldn't make any type of eye contact with him since Ezra didn't wanna leave at all. "He looks so different now Astrid what did you do to him before he left" Ezra said giggling. 
I shrugged my shoulders. "I ended things officially with him in a sweet manner so don't ask me nothing" I said scrolling on my phone so I could avoid the match going on. I could hear the punches, the kicks and the grunts of pain from the top of the bleachers and it sent chills down my spine. I finally looked up and looked at the match while it was half way done and Micah's face was still together. He looked up and his eyes met mine and I looked away immediately. 
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom" I said to Ez and she nodded and watched my stuff for me. I just sat on the counter of the bathroom with my head leaning on the mirror cause my head was spinning so bad and I couldn't take the noise anymore. I heard the door open and some lady was just standing in front of me with head sets and a clipboard on her hands just staring at me.
"May i help you" I said awkwardly smiling. 
"Boxer Micah Torrance is calling for you and won't leave until you come out of the bathroom he says". I rolled my eyes cause she must've been fucking with me.
"Well I don't plan on coming out of here anytime soon so you can leave" I said leaning back against the mirror and closing my eyes. 
"Okay ma'am" she said leaving. Then the door opened again and I heard the door locked. I jumped up and there he was standing in front of me. "I thought she was lying" I said not looking him in the eye. 
"You lied and said you were gonna come to my matches 4 years ago and when I tried to invite you to one you ignored me" he said placing himself in between my legs and I lifted my head up to look at him. "And I don't think your girlfriend would be to happy to see that your in between your ex girlfriend's  legs" I said looking down at him. He smiled at me and I was just confused.
"You tatted my name on you" I said touching his skin. I sighed and leaned back. 
"My mom told me she seen you a few weeks ago but she didn't wanna approach you because you were with some guy" he said. I opened my eyes and laughed at him. "Bodyguard after my parents scandal I've been getting attacked by paparazzi and I seen your mom too she wouldn't stop staring" I said still laughing. 
"My girlfriend told me to get your name removed but I refused" he said. I looked him in the eye and rolled them then moved him from his position and tried to open the door but it was locked from the outside and I turned around to look at him. 
"They won't open it until I tell them too"
"I have nothing to say to you" 
"What happened 4 years ago Astrid why when I called your house I found out you overdosed and was put back into a mental hospital but you ended up running away" he said and my eyes widened at his words. I tugged at the door and yelled for them to let me out because what the fuck. "And I wonder who told you that" I said laughing. 
"Was it because of me" he asked. 
"No Micah everything's not about you okay. I am mentally unstable and needed something got distracted me from my intrusive thoughts and I turned to drugs okay. It was a horrible decision I know and it won't happen again so stop" I yelled. 
"I love you Astrid can't you understand that" he yelled back.
"Astrid please open up your heart and let me in again, I've tried to forget about you but I couldn't do you know many times I've called your phone every day just to hear your voice. Do you not understand how much I miss you" he said walking up to me. My face was blank and had a sad expression on it cause I promised myself I wouldn't. 
"Why would I do that huh so you could fuck around and probably have my friend suck your dick next" I said pushing him away. 
"I was 19 and stupid Astrid I'm 23 now and I want another chance" he said but I backed away and he stepped forward. He leaned his forward onto mine and didn't break eye contact with me. "I'm sorry I know I promised that you'll have a special place in my heart but my life's been changing over these past 4 years and I'm not okay" I said. 
"So please let me out and give me space" I said turning around. The door was finally unlocked and there was a huge crowd outside just staring at me. 
"You must be Astrid" I heard a voice say when I pushed through the crowd and it was some girl with long brown hair. I nodded and looked up at her while Ezra handed me my stuff. 
"You're the reason he treats me like shit" she yelled. 
"Can we take this outside" I said grabbing her hand but she yanked it back and started going off. 
"No I will not. I've been embarrassed on the internet on multiple occasions and behind scenes with him was rough you know why because he found out you were in California" she said. 
"When I seen your name tattooed on him I asked who you were and he explained to me and told me he didn't love you anymore so I told him to get it removed but it's been 9 months and he has never even booked his appointment to get it removed."
"I'm not blaming you but if you never moved to California our relationship would've worked out fine" she said tearing up but I just walked away and ran to the car before paparazzi could trap me in this huge crowd.
