Part 4– Finale…. Rose’s Childhood…
After everything that my father had done was revealed and I was also told that any second later he would’ve died if the police didn’t arrive, but my Oma… she passed and in her will, she gave me her home and all of the inheritance refusing for any of it to go to her excuse of a son.
I should’ve been happy right… I was finally free from that man, Ryder and I were free, I no longer had be forced to fight in the underground ring, Ryder wouldn’t be in the custody of that man as well as me.
But… My Oma died, she passed away from protecting us…
I couldn’t let Ryder see me in such a vulnerable state. I needed to be strong for the both of us so I could support the both of us, all the pressure was on me to look after him properly or else he would be sent into the foster system…
It was a lot in such a short time but eventually things gotten better after the event… I took on multiple side jobs like a part time bouncer on the weekends, part time as a waitress on some weekdays and eventually I decided to get back into boxing, but the ACTUAL kind, not where your fighting to the death but for sport.
I had gotten myself a teacher and she trained me properly, it was.. something new to get used to, the way she taught, but it was a lot nicer and more helpful compared to before…. I did get myself into some therapy for it all by the advice of my teacher and she was patient with me as well when it came to me adapting…
but there were some moments during matches that I would be back in a “survival state”, at least that’s what she called it, like my body was on auto pilot and I would do anything necessary to win…
But when I come home to see Ryder come back from school, all happy, it makes all the pain and hardships I went through, worth it to see him smiling. Even though I knew I wouldn’t be able to chase after my own dreams I would be happy to at least give Ryder the chance to chase after his own, where when he was old enough and felt ready to go out an explore the world on his own… maybe then I could feel satisfied to start chasing my dream again..
Though of course things… didn’t go as planned as I guess I made myself a target for Paragon as I had gone around snooping to find out what happened to Ryder’s friend, Maverick Cooper, when he went missing….
