Fight in 18

Teagan drives until he sees a board saying, "Welcome to Los Vegas" he drives through multiple casino buildings, fancy restaurants, and huge hotels. As he drives, he sees a massive billboard of a casino called "Swimmers Palace" he looks at the people walking around, not ashamed of what they are wearing. Teagan knows the feeling of being back in Los Vegas because he was born and raised here. He even raised Britney in Los Vegas after his huge company became famous and a huge success.

Teagan drives into a parking lot of the popular casino called Swimmers Palace. He locks his car and walks to the entrance of the casino. Teagan knows that Swimmers Palace made a night about Millions of dollars and the downfall for Teagan is that his ex Mia Santiago is the CEO of the casino.

He walks through the doors and is greeted by two women, one on the right and another on the left, holding a silver platter with glasses full of red and white wine. Teagan sighs and takes two glasses, one in his left and one in his right hand.

He walks around the massive place with multiple casino games, poker tables, spinning wheels, and more. Walking around the busy area, he takes sips of the wine until he sees Britney in a lovely white dress with her long brown hair down that complements her blue eyes, behind a red rope with a sign that says "VIP."

He walks towards her, and as he reaches the red rope, two swollen guards stop Teagan from going in.

Britney sighs, "Jared and Dan, can you please let mister Blake pass? He is part of the VIP guest list."

"Are you sure, miss Blake?" Jared asks

Britney looks at him fiercely and asks, "Do I need to repeat myself?"

"No, miss Blake... sorry, sir... welcome to the Swimmers Palace VIP," Jared said to Teagan.

Teagan walks past the two guards and gives them the two glasses of wine. Teagan and Britney walk through the red curtains, and no surprise more, casino games and poker tables. One thing that comes as to surprise to Teagan is that there were multiple 18-year-olds.

He frowns with confusion and asks, "When last did I see you?"

"Remember, mom got that restraining order against you for, I think, five years," Britney answered.

"Oh... yea... "

"Oh, and most of the teens you see are my friends," Britney adds

"But... how... not being rude or anything,"

"No, I know what you mean, dad; in the last five years, I've joined sports,"

Teagan looks and asks Britney with his left eyebrow up, "Like what,"  not buying her answer.

"Tennis, Field hockey, and swimming,"

"Yea, do not forget swimming," Teagan said

"Why?" Britney asked

"If you know your mom well enough, it runs in the family," Teagan said while patting Britney's shoulder.

As Teagan stopped speaking, multiple friends came to Britney and dragged her to one place. Teagan looks at Britney, and a smile forms in the corner of his mouth.

He looks around until he sees a bar, and immediately, he walks toward the bar. He climbs on the barstool he asks the bartender, "A whiskey, please,"

"Coming right at you, sir," The bartender said back.

Teagan looks around. When he looks back, he sees that the bartender is giving him his glass of whisky; he takes the glass and sips the drink. Teagan climbs off the barstool and walks around talking to other men for a few minutes until Britney walks up to him and asks Teagan, "Are you ok, pops,"

"Yeah, just catching up with Mr. Cameron and Mr. Lake here," Teagan said, asking, "Why?"

"Just wanted to know," Britney said, looking over her shoulder and then back at her father.

"What is it Brit? And do not tell me its nothing," Teagan said

Britney replies with a frown, "Nothing, I'm going around asking if everyone's ok," Teagan looks at Britney and sees water in her eyes. He then says to his pals, "It was nice catching up with you again."

Teagan looks at Britney and says strictly, "Let's go and talk about what's bothering you,"

Teagan then walks with Britney to a couch where both sit facing each other.

"Now you tell me what is going on," Teagan said

Britney sniffed and said, "It's Kyle..."

Teagan's eyes widen, asking, "Who is Kyle?"

"My boyfriend... or now called ex," Britney replies

Teagan is in shock; he didn't know she had a boyfriend; he then asks, "Did you two... broke-"

Britney breaks the conversation by saying "Yes," and breaking out in tears. Teagan hugs her and comforts his daughter. She sees her mother entering the room when she rests her head on her father's shoulder. Britney pushes Teagan away and wipes her eyes to make it look like she didn't cry.

"And now?" Teagan asks confused

"Mother," Britney said and looks at her mother approaching them. "Just act normal," Britney said

Britney stands up from the couch and greets her mother, "Hey, mom,"

"How's my birthday girl... so how's being eighteen so far? Did you get your surprise?" Mia asks in excitement

Teagan stands up, faces Mia, and says in disappointment, "You weren't there when you gave you her surprise; who does that?"

Mia's facial expression falls to the floor "Hello, Teagan; nice to see you again, and since you've asked, "I didn't have a choice but to leave Britney alone, plus she was with Laura and Olivia the other night," Mia said. She adds, "but wait, I'm again the one who's wrong, plus I don't see the present you gave her."

"You two, please, do not fight here on my birthday," Britney pleads

"No, you know what your mother is, right... I didn't buy you a present because I wanted to take you around town or the huge mall so you can buy your things." Teagan confesses

"With her own money?" Mia asks, not believing Teagan's confession

"No, with mine," Teagan said, growing irritated

"Dad... you didn't have to-"

Mia cuts Britney off and says quickly"Yea, he didn't have to because someone has to keep the family together,"

"What does that mean?" Teagan asks

"I mean, I should keep Britney safe after YOU killed our sons... do you remember, six years ago," Mia said

Teagan exclaimed, "Do not bring our deceased sons in this mess... you knew the lake was unstable"

"Blame it on the darkness, like you always did, but you were the one who slept through it all."

Teagan looks at Mia dead in the eyes and said, "You know what, I should be going; it's getting late."

"Dad, please don't go; you've just got here," Britney pleads

"Let him go, Britney; at least we have a life," Mia said proudly

Teagan had enough. He turns around and screamed at Mia, "Well, at least didn't I have an affair with my so-called boss!"

Mia is upset about Teagan's saying. He walks out of the room and towards the entrance of the casino. Britney looks at her mother and said while a tear rolled from her eye down on her cheek and said, "You always find a way to fuck something up."

As Teagan walks out of the casino, he approaches his car. He takes out his keys and wipes his nose with his wrist, but then Teagan sees blood on his wrist. He tries to calm down, but then becomes dizzy and falls to the ground. He can feel all the blood flowing out of his nose and mouth very fast. He looks at the night sky that is filled with all of the casino lights; his vision blurs and then blacks out.
