I walk into the training club, it's just a small building on the empty side of town.
walking in, I realize I was the late one.
Andrew "shit."
Baby "look who showed up last."
Keith "sucks for you."
Baby and Keith, they have been my friends for years, since I've been coming here.
Baby is 6,6 weighing 145 pounds, he's pretty fit. he has a baby face, with dirty blonde hair going down to his eyes. eye color is violet.
Keith is 5,9 weighing 125 pounds, not to fit. he has brown hair that goes down to his eyes (like Baby). eye color is brown.
Elizabeth "step up here."
Andrew "were is your grand daughter?"
Elizabeth "you'll see Hailey after you step up here."
Andrew "fine."
Elizabeth is our trainer. she is wracking up the years, 75 years old. she has Grey hair and transparent eyes. height 5,7 weighing around 120 pounds.
I step up on the ring. I get into my stance, ready for battle.
the old women dashes at me, exetremly fast. she attacks with a jab, I dodge to the left.
I jab at her but she blocks with her right arm.
I dash backwards.
Andrew "20%."
my muscles start to expand.
the old women attacks me with a strong uppercut to the waist. but basic GDNA attacks dont effect me at 20%.
I hit the old women with a strong jab at the stomach, the women go's flying backwards. I dash at her at insane speeds, catching up with her.
I jump up in the air then come back down with a kick, right at her. she dodges to the left.
her hand glows white.
she then uses her feet as momentum, dashing towards me. she hits me right in the stomach.
I fly backwards hitting the wall. my muscles start to grow to normal size.
Elizabeth "it's over."
Andrew "just turned 75 and still beat me. damn."
Elizabeth "comments like that are the reason you caint stay with one girlfriend."
Andrew "well I've been with my current girlfriend for 3 months."
Elizabeth "she'll learn."
Beth "well his mouth ain't the only reason."
Beth Barker she was my old girlfriend. Elizabeth's granddaughter. her height is 6,1 weighing 150, very fit. she has brown hair going a little past her shoulders. eye color is transparent.
Andrew "were is Hailey?"
Beth "she's in the break room. watching something on my phone."
Andrew "thank you."
I head to the break room, opening the door.
Hailey "Dada!!"
a little girl runs towards me, my daughter. I pick her up, giving her a hug.
Andrew "how have you been sweety?"
Hailey "good. did you know grandma Elizabeth is going to buy me a phone, for myself?!"
Andrew "seriously?!"
Hailey "yeah!!"
Andrew "you ready to go see Katie?"
Hailey "can I stay here for a little bit?"
Andrew "yes. as long as you stay in here."
Hailey "okay Dada."
I walk out the room thinking to myself.
Andrew "I need to do something to get me more money."
I walk outside and sit down on the curb. I hear someone follow.
Beth "I wish it wasn't like this."
Andrew "you made it like this."
Beth "no. we both did."
Andrew "why is it I have to do so much just to see her?"
Beth walks over and sits down right next to me.
Beth "Andrew you've changed so much after your parents sacrifice. you were always against fighting battles that wasn't yours and never ever complained about a fight. heck you never even missed a day of training. now you just go around playing hero, complaining about training, and missing everyday. but pick up day. what happened to you?"
Andrew "why should you care?"
Beth "we all care, just because we broke up doesn't mean I hate you, same go's for grandma."
Andrew "I don't care what other people think."
Beth "then why ain't you coming to training?"
Andrew "I don't have to explain myself to you."
Beth "you see this is why every one of your girlfriends break up with you, you won't explain yourself, you say these stupid things."
Andrew "fine! I've been working more. I have two jobs now."
Beth "jobs?!"
Andrew "yes."
Beth "why are you working two jobs?"
Andrew "I'm tired of living this life, Beth. I want to see more, know more, and for Hailey to have more."
Beth "well your more stupid than I thought."
she gets up and walks back inside.
I sit there stairing at the ground. why does everyone think everything I do is wrong? I'm just trying to make life better.
30 minutes later
I pick Hailey up. she is dead asleep.
Beth "she better not get cought in one of your hero scandals."
Andrew "why do you have to say stuff like that?"
Beth "it's a warning."
I practically run out the door.
Andrew "man I hate this place."
I turn my head around to see Elizabeth standing right there.
Elizabeth "this place?"
Andrew "this whole state."
Elizabeth "you sure have changed."
Andrew "I get that a lot."
Elizabeth "I'm being serious. you were my best student and you had major respect from everyone. nowadays people don't like hearing your name. how do you manage that?"
Andrew "I already had this talk with your grand daughter."
Elizabeth "you need to wake up. my parents have been dead for many years now."
Andrew "I have woken up."
I walk to my car, getting Hailey in her seat and driving off.
minutes later
I pull into the trailer park and walk me and Hailey into the trailer.
Katie "your back."
Andrew "yep. made sure to bring our little favorite know it all."
Katie walks over and kisses Hailey on the forehead, while she rest on my shoulder.
Katie "fight?"
Andrew "yes. I'd prefer not to talk about it."
Katie "that's fine."
I put Hailey on the couch and tuck her in.
Andrew "love you."
I plant a soft kiss on her head.
Katie "have a nice day at work.'
Andrew "very funny."
