Y*u're Gonna Regret This

Outlaws - Alessia Cara

"Sorry." I told the person I bumped into and glared at Leroy who grinned at me wickedly. I think the burger we ate was messing with his brain as he pushed me to the senior.

I held my backpack and sighed in relief when we got out of the crowded hallway.

"That was hell on earth," he sighed and I laughed. The laughter died down when I sighted his mom's expensive beetle car and I groaned as his fat proud mom got out of the car.

"Guess I'll be walking home alone today." I whispered but he heard. He gave me a sad sorry look and went closer to his mom. She didn't even spare me a glance as she got into her car and sped away.

I walked on the empty lane home, watching students in groups on the other side of the road as they laughed happily. I looked away and continued walking, staring at the ground.

"Oops. I'm sorry," a man told me as he bumped into me. I eyed him carefully as he got closer to the club gym. My eyes widened as I thought of Aiden. My former personal trainer when I got bullied. And idea formed in my brain and I smiled.

*I'll be back late, searching for a job. Make sure Jack eats. I promise I'll make it up to you* I texted Leroy and I turned off my phone.

I made my way in and gagged when I was greeted with the ugly stench of sweat. Well I used to be one of them.

"How can I help you?" I heard a deep voice grunt and I gingerly turned to face a huge man with long beard. He had his arms arms crossed and a frown stretched on his scary face.

"I'm looking for Aiden." I told him sweetly and he gave me a blank stare with his left eyebrow raised.

"I mean Boss man." I told him and he assessed me for a minute, mostly the burn mark on my face.

"Do you have an appointment?" He asked.

"No but-"

"If you don't have an appointment then leave. You're way too fucking young to be in a place like this," he said and I glared at him with my arms crossed too.

"I need to see Aiden." I demanded and he pulled my arm, to drag me out of the place. I screamed in pain as his hold tightened but he didn't stop.

"What's going on?" I heard his deep cowboy accent and I grinned and turned around despite the tight hold on my arm.

"Boss, this kid claims to know you," the big guy said and Aiden looked down on me. His eyes widened and he opened his arms. The big guy released me and I ran into his arms. He lifted me a little and dropped me. Aiden was just a big old softie.

"C'mon Po," he ordered and I followed him to his office. Nothing had changed at all. I sat down comfortably in front of him.

"I thought I told you to never come back here." Aiden glared as he poured himself a glass of whiskey. I pursed my lips and thought of the words to say carefully.

"I need a job. I wanna work in your wrestling club. I need the money." I told him and he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Why?" he asked and I sat up straight.

"Mom died and her family took everything and sent us out of the mansion. I rented a tiny apartment but I need money to pay bills and take care of Jack and I." I told him and he was in a deep thought.

"Report this to the government, they'll help," he said, lighting up his cigarette and I bit my lower lip from saying something snarky.

"The government works for the Abels family." I deadpanned.

"Don't you have anyone?" he asked and I gritted my teeth. I could see a ghost smile on his lips and that infuriated me the more.

"Don't you get it? I have no one. Jack's nurse hardly makes money, Leroy's family hates me. I need this job. This is my last hope or I'll go illegal!" I yelled and he smirked.

"The club is illegal," he said and I sighed in defeat.

"Please." I begged in a whisper and he stared at me for long, tears threatened to spill from my eyes because of the embarrassment.

"Come here by seven tomorrow, dress up in your character, something bad ass. I know you got the strength," he said and I nodded and left, walking home with different thoughts in my head.

I opened the door and met Leroy watching a movie on his laptop and Jack fast asleep with his locket of mom's picture, held tightly in his palm.

"Hey." I greeted and flopped on the couch next to Leroy, my bag on the floor.

"You're back," he sighed and took his earphones off. I rolled my eyes and sinked into the couch.

"Obviously." I deadpanned and was greeted with silence.

"So. You gonna tell me about the job?" he asked and I smiled.

"I got a job." I told him and he sat up.

"That's awesome Po. What's the job about?" He asked and I shrugged.

"I met Aiden, I offered to work at his illegal wrestling club." I said taking off my sneakers.

"What!" I heard him yell and I flinched.

"Jesus Roy Jack's asleep. I'll be fine, I'm strong enough for it." I told him and he frowned.

"I won't accept that. You said it yourself Po it's illegal!" He screamed and I rolled my eyes and stood up, feeling the anger rising in me.

"If you aren't gonna support my decisions then leave Roy!" I yelled pointing to the door. Jack opened his eyes, staring curiously at the both of us.

"You're gonna regret this," he hissed and picked his satchel and laptop. He got to the door and stared back at me. I still kept my stoic face and he got out, slamming the door hard.

My breaths came out raged in tears as I slumped on the couch, balling my eyes out.
