October 4 2022

It was the next day as everything was going well so far, Right now, the time was eight p.m. As Desmond invited Disha over to his house, He wanted her to meet his mother and sister.

Desmond was seen talking to his mother as they both had a smile on their faces until they heard a knock on the door as Crowe immediately got up and opened the door as he saw Disha who had a huge smile on her face.

Disha: Hey, Handsome!

Desmond: Hey Dishi, I'm glad you made it here.

They both smiled and shared a quick kiss as Disha walked inside the house while holding his hand as Desmond heard his mother calling his name.

Disha: Is that your mom?

Desmond: Yup, come on. I think she would love to meet you.

Disha smiled at him as both of them walked to the living room.

Jenna: Who is at the door- Oh, Hello there.

Disha: Hi, Miss Crowe!

Jenna smiled at her but was also confused as Desmond smiled and spoke to her.

Desmond: Mom, Meet my girlfriend Disha, We recently started dating.

Jenna wae shocked but still looked happy as She spoke to them.

Jenna: Oh wow, I didn't know you had a girlfriend.

Disha: *Smiles* Actually me and Desmond met on the first day he arrived at the school. We were good friends, but we also shared a strong bond.

Jenna: Aww, that's really nice, Come sit down. We can talk more.

Disha looked at Desmond as both of them smiled at each other, The couple sat down as Jenna called Lexy to come downstairs.

Eventually, they were all talking to each other as Disha was talking about her life while Jenna and Lexy were listening to her, Both of them already loved how kind Disha was.

After thirty minutes, Desmond decided to show his room to her as Crowe closed the door while Disha was looking around the room.

Disha: Wow! Your room looks really good, I didn't know you knew interior designing.

Desmond: *Chuckles* Not exactly, This house was already furnished but the rent wasn't too expensive.

Disha: Ohhh, I see, It still looks great.

Desmond sat on the bed as Disha was looking at the window and spoke to Desmond.

Disha: Your mom and sister are honestly very kind.

Desmond: Thanks, Disha. They already seemed to like you.

Disha: *Smiles* I'm happy to know that.

Disha continued looking around until she saw something in the table, which was Desmond's training gloves.

Disha: Oooooh! What's this?

Desmond; *Chuckles* It's just my training gloves.

Disha took the gloves and examined it before she wore the gloves as Desmond was smiling at her.

Disha: How does it look?

Desmond: It looks cute on you.

Disha had a huge smile on her face as She walked towards Desmond and was on a fighting stance before she jokingly punched Desmond on the chest as Desmond smiled and laughed.

Disha continued smiling while trying to intimidate him.

Disha: Get up!

Desmond continued laughing before he got up as Disha was smiling at him.

Desmond: You really think you got what it takes?

Disha: I'll show you.

Desmond: Ooooh, so you're determined?

Disha playfully winked at him before she began hitting his chest.

They both continued laughing as Disha punched him again and said something.

Disha: How about you show me what you got?

Desmond smiled at her before Disha tried to punch him, but Desmond blocked her punch as Patani laughed before she tried to punch him again, but he again blocked the punch.

Disha: Oh wow.

Desmond: Yup, that's all the training I have done for the whole month, though I'm not trying to show off.

Disha: Your actually good at this.

She smiled and tried to punch him again until Desmond blocked the punch and tackled her while laughing as Desmond was on top of her while holding her hands.

Desmond: Now comes the submission, It will be painful until you tap out.

Disha: Tap out?

Desmond continued holding her hand while making sure he doesn't hurt her, Both of them were staring at each other before Disha managed to turn him around as they both laughed while Disha was on top of him.


Disha: I never tap out.

Desmond had a smirk on his face as They continued staring at each other as Disha got closer to his face while Desmond slowly caressed her back.

Both of them shared a kiss together while Desmond was holding her until they heard the door opening as Disha immediately moved away as Both of them got up and saw Lexy looking at them.

Lexy: What are you two doing?

Disha; Uhh. . . .

Desmond: We were just wrestling.

Disha: Yeah, Wrestling.

Lexy: Oh okay, Mom needs you downstairs right now.

Desmond nodded and walked away as Disha took off the gloves, Lexy was looking at her before giving a smile.

Lexy: I'm a huge fan of wrestling.

Disha: *Smiles* Oh really?

Lexy happily nodded as Disha smiled at her before Lexy went downstairs as Patani was feeling awkward.

Soon, Jenna told Desmond that she wanted to go out with Lexy and do a quick shopping before coming home, Desmond told her it was fine and decided to stay in the house with Disha for sometime.

Both Desmond and Disha were feeding each other with snacks as Both of them were talking until they heard a loud knock on the door as Both of them were confused.

Disha: They're already back?

Desmond: Its only been ten minutes, though. . . I'm sure mom took the keys with her.

Desmond got up to check who was at the door, He opened the door and saw no one as he stepped outside until he saw someone on the ground as Desmond was shocked.

It was Evan, He was badly beaten up and unconscious.

Desmond: Evan!!!

Desmond ran towards him as he began shaking him and was checking up on him, Evan was bleeding and had bruises all over his face and possibly on his body.

Desmond was enraged by who could do something like that to his friend until he heard Disha's voice.

Disha: Desmond! What happened-

She saw Evan on the ground as Patani was shocked. Desmond immediately got up and carried Evan.

Disha: What just happened to Evan!?

Desmond: I don't know, I just found laying on the outside. . . Someone wanted me to see this.

Disha: Who did this!?

Desmond: *Grits his teeth* Finn. . .

Disha stood still in shock as Crowe spoke to her.

Desmond: I know he's did something, Disha. I'm gonna drop Evan to the nearby hospital, Please check on him.

Disha: But where are you going?

Desmond: Gonna settle the score with him.

Disha: I'll come with you-

Desmond: No! You stay with Evan. I'll go by myself.

Desmond immediately began walking as Disha was following him. Soon, they made it to the hospital as the doctors were checking on Evan. Desmond already left the hospital as Disha was really worried about Desmond and Evan.

Flashback-

Evan was seen using his phone, watching videos while walking down the streets. Peters continued walking but someone was actually watching him.

Evan closed his phone and continued walking until someone tapped his shoulder as Evan turned around and saw Finn.

Finn: Hey there, Evan.

Peters looked worried as He began stepping back but Finn decided to try and trick him and gave a kind smile.

Finn: Woah, Don't be scared. I just wanted to ask what you were doing all alone this time?

Evan didn't trusted his kindness as Peters spoke to him.

Evan: I just needed some fresh air.

Finn was silent as Evan tried to walk away but Finn grabbed him again as he laughed.

Finn: What's the rush? It's not like I'm gonna hurt you.

Evan: Finn, You done this multiple times. We know your true intentions.

Finn's smile slowly faded away as Balor said something.

Finn: Maybe you are right. . . I heard your Desmond's good friend right?

Evan: Not good, He's an awesome friend but you have business with him, not me.

Finn: True, But your the guy that's helping him.

Evan: I think it's time you give up, Finn. You're no good after all.

Finn was silent for a few seconds until he said something.

Finn: Well, I'm sending your friend a calling card.

Balor kicked Evan on the gut and punched him as Finn began stopping on his back as Evan was in pain.

Finn saw an old baseball bat on the trash can as Balor grabbed it and began viciously attacking Evan.

Evan tried to get up but Finn punched him so hard as Evan began bleeding from his nose and forehead and fell down.

Finn continued beating him up before Evan was unconscious as Balor was breathing heavily before he had a smirk on his face and decided grab Evan by his shirt and drag him away.

Eventually, Finn found Desmond's house and threw Evan on the ground before knocking on his door and immediately walking away.

End of Flashback-

Disha was seen messaging Roxanne, Benjamin and Cody to come to the hospital, Eventually after ten minutes the trio arrived as Disha saw them and explained what happened.

Cody: Are you kidding me!? Who did this!?

Disha: Desmond said it could be Finn.

Benjamin: That coward! I'm not gonna spare him!

Disha: Look, Please stay with Evan. I'm gonna go and check on Desmond.

Roxanne: But Disha, That's not wise-

Disha: I'm worried, I don't know what Finn will do to him.

Benjamin: Let me come with you.

Cody: I'll follow you-

Disha: No, I'll go alone. Please stay here.

The friends looked worried as Disha immediately left the hospital as she knew where Desmond must have went too.

Meanwhile Desmond made it to Finn's house as He saw Finn relaxing on his backyard as Desmond looked angry.

Desmond; Finn!!!

Finn: *Chuckles* Look who's here.

Desmond: Why did you assault Evan like that? What does my friends have to do with this!?

Finn: I didn't do anything-

Desmond: Shut your mouth!!!

Finn smiled as Desmond felt even more angry before Finn was in a fighting stance as Crowe stared at him.

Finn: Get ready for Round 2.

Desmond was glaring at him as He was gonna hit him until they heard someone calling Crowe's name as Desmond turned and saw Disha as he was shocked.

Disha: Desmond, Finn! Don't do this!

Finn: Disha?

Desmond: Disha-

Disha: Finn, What's your problem!? Can't you just leave us alone?

Finn was staring at her until he felt his blood boil as he said something.

Finn: I was right, You pushed me away just to choose him!

Disha: I don't know what would have happened to me if I stayed with you, I love Desmond and he's not gonna lose this fight.

Desmond was shocked as Finn began laughing as if it was a joke to him.

Finn: You really think he's gonna win!?

Desmond: I promise you I will prove you wrong, Finn. This is warning. . . . Next week will be the end of the line.

Finn was glaring at Desmond as Disha was looking at both of them.

Finn: Just to let you know, Evan's unconscious body is a spoiler to what's gonna happen to you next week. . . .

Desmond: We'll see about that.

They both glared at each other until both of them began punching each other as Disha was shocked and tried to stop the fight but Desmond managed to fight back and kick Finn away.

Finn tried to fight Desmond but Desmond hit a vicious knee strike as Finn fell on the ground as Disha told Desmond to stop.

Finn was holding his head tightly as Disha was holding Desmond's hand which managed to make him feel better as Desmond continued glaring at him.

Disha: Desmond, Please let's leave. . .

Desmond just walked away while holding her hand as Finn was glaring at him before he said something from afar.

Finn: I'll beat you, Desmond! I'll embarrass you in front of hundreds of people!

Both Desmond and Disha left the house as They went back to the hospital to check on Evan, Next week was going to be their beatdown and Desmond is already prepared for it.
