‘When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change’
Scarlett headed down the street she once new… the home she once lived in... the garden she once played in. She had flashbacks of her mother, and how they once played together. Happy memories but sad thoughts, she tightly gripped the necklace hanging around neck and planted a kiss on it as a tear glistened down her cheek. A child and her mother walked down the path and unlocked the home she once knew. Scarlett knew there was no going back. No way she could head back to her father's house, the hell house.
She turned to leave, looking back at the house she once knew. She wiped her cheek, brushed herself off and walked away. Scarlett opened her purse to find $58 she saved from her Saturday cleaning job she once did. She headed to the local gym, bought a membership with the little money she had. She had a different outlook on the world now. All she saw was black. There was no light in this life. Nothing had served her well.
She gripped onto the bench handles, pulling her body up, her muscles aching, she pushed through the pain. Her hate for her father drove her through the pain. She continuously pulled herself up on the handles.
A local trainer came across
Trainer: Miss, are you ok?
Scarlett: I'm fine! Mind your own fucking business!
She let out a sob as a tear dropped to the floor, she broke down. She had so much emotion.
Trainer: Miss are you sure?
The trainer pulled her in for a hug, but Scarlett pushed him back smacking him in the mouth.
Scarlett: get the fuck off me! I said I'm fine!
Trainer: Listen Miss, if you touch me again that will be a permanent ban and I'll have you down for assault!
Scarlett: DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT, I COULDN'T CARE LESS!
Trainer: that's it miss, I need you to leave.
Scarlett: proudly, and do not call me miss!
Scarlett walked out of the gym and headed to the place she heard the ad was.
A tall muscular man stood leaning against the door with a cigarette in his hand, he took a long toke, then blew the smoke in Scarlett's face. He scanned Scarlett from head to toe as he started to laugh.
Neil: ha! What are you here for? To waitress for us guys?
Scarlett stood furiously glaring at the man stood before her.
Scarlett: I don't fucking think so, do you?
Scarlett raised her eyebrow almost daring the man to say yes.
Neil: alright lady, calm down.
He said as he backed down.
Neil: what can I do for you? He sniggered.
Scarlett: I'd like to fight, to try out in wrestling.
He held back his laugh
Neil: sure com’on in.
They stepped into the building. The walls were tall and the lights were bright. Neil showed Scarlett to the wrestling ring, she analysed the room, the chairs to the stadium were everywhere. She looked over to the ring, and ducked under the rope.
She stood confidently and turned to Neil, placed her hand out and did a come hither signal. Neil grinned excitedly, climbed under the rope and wrapped his arms around Scarlett, pulling her into a kiss.
She threw him to the ground.
Scarlett: No!, let's match. I want to show you my skills.
Neil laughed hard
Neil: Are you serious? Little you, match against me!
An older man stepped out from the hall and into the stadium. He squinted his eyes and shouted.
Chris: Neil let the girl match you, let's see what she's got.
Scarlett stood confidently as Neil nodded and stood up. Chris stood in the middle taking on the role as the Ref.
Chris: 3...2..1 Go!
Scarlett lunged towards Neil, punching him in the face. Neil winched and threw a punch back, Scarlett ducked and kicked the man in the shin causing him to fall to the ground. She climbed on him holding his hand behind his back. He struggled trying to let go of her grip.
Chris: 1...2…3 tap out! The winner is Scarlett!
Scarlett stood up and brushed her body down, she smirked confidently.
Scarlett: not so bad huh? Tough guy!
Neil stood up and looked at the ground embarrassed.
Neil: that was a fluke.
Chris: I don't think so Neil. She did great. Scarlett I'm going to sign you up, you have a match next week. Is that alright?
Scarlett nods: Yeah that'll be good. Tah.
Chris: no problem.
Scarlett headed out the stadium as she shut the door behind her.
