I am not sorry about making this because it's the truth! Lol, the song is False Pretense and it's by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus!

(Hopes POV)

     Evan hasn't left my side since last night. I lean back in the barstool as I finish off my cereal for the morning. Tyler walks up and stands in front of the island, Brian and David next to him. Tyler sticks out his hand to me. From the corner of my eye, I see Evan stiffen up a bit, probably in case Tyler wants to die and fight me again.

     "You proved me wrong yesterday. You kicked my ass pretty good last night. I'm sorry for pushing you to the point of you attacking me and saying what I said." He gives me a small smile. I smile back and shake his hand.

     "I'll fling food at you less often, promise." He playfully rolls his eyes and shakes my hand back.

     "Not to mention everyone else wants to see if they can beat you in a fight now. Of course in the training room that is." Tyler says letting go of my hand and shrugging his shoulders. Evan gets up and takes both of our bowls to the sink.

     "Come on shortcake, I'm on a winning streak so far and want to win more money," Brian says nudging David.

     "I ain't betting anymore with you fucking prick. But yes, Brian over here wants to see if you can beat others on the mat." David says. Lui looks back from the couch with Craig.

     "I want to see her go against Evan, I would pay money to see Evan get beat by a girl," Lui says through his laughs.

     "See I feel like she'll beat Evan no problem, I wanna see if she can take down the fucking clown," Craig says pointing back to Delirious who's talking with Cartoonz and Ohm. Delirious looks at us confused.

     "Yes?" He says still confused. The guys turn and look back at me.

      "How about this, you guys get ready and make a bracket for me with who you want me to go against. I'll get ready for the day and meet you all in the training room," I say as I go back to my room.

     "OKAY WHO'S THE WEAKEST ONE OUT OF ALL OF US?!" Brian yells as he looks around at all of the guys.

     A pair of black running shorts and my sleeveless black hoodie was my go to outfit since I'm going to get extremely hot and because we aren't leaving the warehouse again till we have our plan. As much as I love staying with Holly, I hope we can get home soon and take out Warren and his men.

     I walk into the training room and see Moo and Lui on the blue wrestling mat practice taking swings at one another. At the other end of the training room in the isolated small shooting range, Cartoonz and Bryce were shooting at the hanging targets. Ohm and Delirious were taking turns beating up a punching bag while everyone else was teasing Moo and Lui to actually take a swing at each other. I walk up next to Holly and Evan, noticing a little sheet of notebook paper taped up to the wall.

     "What the hell is this?" I say laughing while walking up to it. It was more or a ladder list than a bracket. At the very bottom was... Evan?

     "Yeah who in the hell made this list? I really highly doubt that Evan is the weakest one. " I say turning to the guys.

     "We were all arguing who was the strongest and so we decided to have one go first and the other go last, so Evan first then Brian last," Moo says looking back at me.

     "So what you're telling me is I'm starting off hard and finishing off hard?" I put my hands on my hips and look at the guys.

     "Bets were placed and we want our damn money," Delirious says as he stops punching the punching bag. Evan playfully slaps my back.

     "Come on shortcake, I'll take it easy on you," Evan says with a wink as he walks up to the mat.

     "Oh no, you won't. We're fucking seeing if she can actually beat your ass." Craig says crossing his arms as he sits down at one of the workout machines. I walk away from the rigged piece of notebook paper. The guys huddle around the mat and form a half-circle. He'll go easy on me, right?

     "Don't fucking kill her now, but don't go easy on her." Tyler chimes in. I get in a fighting stance and look over at Tyler.

     "We going till we tapout, when we get knocked, or what? You're telling me nothing here people so I won't know how hard to take it on you all." I say as Evan smirks at me.

     "How hard you'll go I'll go. We go till one of us taps out how about that." Evan says also getting in a fighting stance.

     "Somone get a timer ready, this might be a record here." I look at Evan and smirk at him.

     I throw the first punch only for him the dodge it. I go for another punch but fake it and give him an uppercut to his stomach. He hunches over as a reaction and I grab onto his head and start punching a good couple of times at his ribs before he grabs onto my waist and brings us both the ground. I still have a hold on him so I hit the side of his head hard but not hard enough to do much damage. He gets out of my hold and pins my hands above my head as he sits on my stomach. He starts smirking at me.

     "I counted 10 seconds." He says in a smart ass tone. Thank you Brian for teaching me this move.

     I buck my hips up as hard as I can and bring my arms down to my side and move my head as his face plants the mat. I grab onto his back and tightly hug onto him as he props his hands back up again. I wrap my right arm against his left one and bring it down and flip him over so I'm on top now. The guys started yelling and screaming 'OHHH' as I right hook him in his cheek.

     I give him another punch in the jaw before he grabs me by the waist again and flipped me over so I'm on my back. I quickly get back up and go back to my fighting stance, I can already feel the sweat drip down my face. He comes at me with a punch but I dodge it and side sweep his legs and have him fall to the ground with a hard thud. He grabs my ankle and pulls it towards him. My head hits the mat hard, I was able to sit up before he got on top of me again and was trying to push me back down. I wrap my arms around his head and bring it to the ground. He gives me a few good punches at my ribs before I was able to grab onto his stomach and push us both forward. His head hits the ground again and before I can punch him he starts tapping on the mat furiously.

     "PAY UP FUCKERS! YOU REALLY UNDERESTIMATE MY TEACHING ABILITIES!" Brian yells excitedly. Tyler, Delirious, Basically, and Lui all reach into their pockets.

     I get up and off of Evan and got back to my feet before holding out my hand to him. He continues to look up the ceiling for a second before looking at me in shock. He reaches for my hand and I help him up, I groan in the process from how heavy he is. Once he was on his feet he starts smiling and wipes the forehead sweat off of him and on me. I laugh and push him away.

     "Once she brought me down on the mat again, I knew that I wasn't going to win once she started punching so I ended it before I became a bloody mess. Fuck her punches hurt man." Evan says. I look at all the guys.

     "So, who do I face next?" I ask. The guys all simultaneously take a step back. I start laughing hard enough that I had to hold onto my stomach.

     "Yeah if Evan tapped out we're just going to assume that you can break us like a toothpick," Lui says. Some of the guys nod in agreement.

      An hour later we were in Holly's office again. This time Evan wasn't at the whiteboard, instead, he was at the head of the table as we went around the room talking about what we all thought would be the best plan in our own head. Each of us giving our feedbacks about whoever's plan. We stayed in that office till dinner, and even then we ate in the office. A plan was taking form and by the next couple of days, our plan will be foolproof.

     "Let me tell you, I thought you were going to take it easy on me but when I noticed how hard you were punching me, I thought, 'Oh shit, she's actually going to try to beat me up' so that's when I started trying. Didn't help since I ended up tapping out like a bitch." Evan says as he takes off his shirt and turns off the light. 

      I had the bedside lamp on so I was still able to see him as well as some of the bruises that I gave him around his body. He climbs in bed and sits on top of me, giving me a smile.

     "Don't think that just because I love you doesn't mean that I went easy on you today." He says as he leans down and kisses my neck on my tattoo. I laugh to myself as I wrap my arms around his neck.  He continues to kiss me on my neck and face.

     "Evan, someone will hear us if we keep going," I quietly say as he continues to kiss me, now at my shoulder.

     "Do you think I care? I'm just trying to show you my love." He says in a deeper tone which instantly sent chills down my back. He smirks at me as his slow kisses keep getting lower and lower, I didn't stop him.
