It surely is Oliver, and just by the sound of his voice, I can already imagine him with his signature smirk. I still stand on my place facing him until he takes a step forward.

"Wait. Where is she?" 

"Maddy?"

"So you didn't find her yet?" He gasps, clasping his hands to his mouth as I nodded my head. Suddenly there was another series of muzzling sounds behind the curtain and before Oliver talks again, I took the chance of moving towards the curtain. As soon as I reached the curtain I peaked and saw a foot full of bruises and a cloth tied around the foot so she- Maddy?

I quickly ran to Maddy who was covered in bruises and untied the white stained cloth that was around her mouth, hands and foot. 

"Who did this to you?" I ask Maddy as I wipe the tears that were endlessly falling from her blue eyes. 

"I- it w-as-" She paused as she found Oliver who was now leaning by the wall behind me. 

I stood up and pushed him to the wall as he shows his signature smirk again. 

"What did you do to her? What did she ever do to you?" Tears began to fall from my eyes as I igonore Maddy shook me, telling me to stop. 

"Maddy- go to the clinic, and I will catch up." Calmly, I let go of Oliver and nodded my head to the door to Maddy. As soon as she left I caught Oliver's arm while he was attempting to exit the place. 

"You, stay."

He crossed his arms and turned to me. 

"What do you want?"

"Why are you doing this to Maddy?" 

"We played hide and se-"

"I don't want any of those explanation! I need the truth." Inhale. Exhale. You can do this Beck. 

"Woah, chill man." Is that what he could really just say? Chill?

"Fine." He says, as he puts his hands up in defense. "You've got me."

"Well she took my pen, used it to doodle and it was one of my favorites, and it was expensive. Ain't that called stealing?" 

"Look, just because she took a fancy pen, she doesn't need to get beaten up and covered in bruises right? You think she deserves that?"

He nods. And I slap him. He opens his mouth to say something until, slap. That must have hurt because as soon as my palm reached for his cheeks, he soothed it with his hands. But I don't get it. He's still wearing the same smirk he always had, even his cheeks was in pain. Is he the only human who's cold blooded? Ugh.

"Just please leave her alone. Okay?" I say prolonging the word please as I tell him.

"Leave her alone? How could I leave her alone if she- Fine, but let's have a deal first." 

"Then, what can I do so you'll leave her alone?" 

"Do you know about the sports fest?" I nod as a reply.

"So it's simple." In annoyance, I motioned my hands to let him continue.

"There are always two teams fighting for the trophy, and we'll play bet. If your bet wins, I leave Maddy and if I win, you and Maddy gets to stay by my side. The bet will continue until the end of the sports fest, the most who have a lot of wins by the end, will win. As simple, as that." Will I take it? It could be just a trick or it could be true. I'll lose Maddy if it's just a trick but it's either she gets beaten all her life or she'll have a chance to be free.

"So deal?" There it is again signature smirk. 

"Deal." He took his hand out and I shook it, like were big time business man.
