Street fight 

He looked at the goons who were behind Kyle and grabbed him. 

“Who knows. They could be making out right now, unlike your single ass.” We both started laughing, knowing it was probably true.

“Listen punk,” Jace said, slapping Kyle. “I feel like beating someone up today, so I'm going to start with you, then I’m going to Mr. Nobody over there.”

Kyle kicked Jace in the stomach and yelled, “That's Exer to you, bitch.” And grinned.

Jace didn’t look so happy. He got his other goons to hold me down while ordering his minions around 

“Hold him still.” 

He raised his right fist and landed a punch on his face making his nose bleed. He went for one punch to a gut kick, bringing Kyle to the floor holding his stomach in agonizing pain. 

“Bring the other one over here now, your turn Mr. nobody!” He said still recovering from the stomach kick.

His minions pushed me to the concrete, scraping my knees since I was wearing shorts. Jace slapped my face then his goons picked me back up so he could punch me in the gut. He lifted my face so I could see him.

“I want you to listen here, and listen closely. You will never amount to anything, this pronoun shit is something that no one will ever validate you with. You are a man and will always be one, useless bitch.”

I started tearing up and having an anxiety attack. He came in for another punch to the face, breaking my glasses. He was going for a stomach punch when Kyle grabbed his arm.

“No one does that to Exer,” Kyle said in a faint voice with a black eye and a bloody nose. “Now, you and your buddies better run off before I get super pissed and your face starts to look like theirs, ok? Good” He said with a pissed-off grin. 

He was looking around for me and found me at the street sign bushes vomiting.

“Whoa, hey there. Can you stand up for me?” Kyle asked me.

I couldn’t answer him, still vomiting in the bushes. He picked me up walking back to his house. My vision was blurry and I couldn’t remember the rest of the way but Kiko helped Kyle bring me inside and mumbled rambling. I woke up on the couch with bandages and a massive headache.

“Mom, they're awake!” I could hear Kyle saying sitting on the end of the couch.
