Chapter 35: Free Punch

Lex's POV.

I had told the nurse that I was not needing her service, and she walked away without question. It was a perfect Choice to make at that moment cuz I wasn't going to take it easily with her if she tried press on.

I was going to walk out of the hospital. I told myself that I didn't even want to look in their direction anymore; I just wanted to aim for the door and go right through it, not looking back. I was a few steps away from the door, just a few steps to walk past them, when I heard them talking about Lwndon dropping her off or not.

I wanted you to be quiet and just walk by, but those words fell out of my mouth, and immediately Landon was facing me.

"You can do whatever you want to do, Landon; I do not care anymore. I used to care before but not now anymore so go ahead and do your thing just stop rubbing it on my face" i said to him I was about to walk away when he said those words that made my blood one cold.

" it is this attitude of yours that makes no one ever want to be beside you, not even Your Mother when you were a baby"

It felt as if someone had hit a hammer on my head, and I could hear the loud ringing sound.

what did Landon just say to me? I never spoke about my mother, I hated talking about her because the memories were too painful for me and now he was using it on me because we have a fight?

"Landon, that's cruel," I heard her voice saying to him.

For the first 10 seconds I spaced out; there were a lot of things on my mind to do in London. I felt like raging towards him and pushing him so hard on the floor that he could lose consciousness, but that did not feel good enough.

"You should leave and stop prying into others' business if you do not want me reminding you of how pathetic you are."

He said to me again, and this time I did not hesitate, not even for a second, as I grabbed him by his shirt and threw him across the room. He landed heavily on the ground towards the nurses' desk as I raged towards him, pushing away the stuff in front of me.

There were loud noises as everyone in the room began to move in different direction scanning for safety.

"Get up, Landon, get up and fight me," I said to him, giving him my hand, but he slaps it off, getting up on his feet as he faces me with his fist.

Good, that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted him to fight me back because I was ready to beat the hell out of him.

He and I knew that he was no match for me when it came to fighting him, and right now I was not going to hesitate for any reason.

"This is all you've ever wanted, right, Lex?" He asked me, but I wasn't ready to listen to him.

He should have thoughts about what I would do before he said anything about my mother.

"Now you understand how much it hurts when you talk about people whom we wish were with us every time."

He said to me as he threw a sharp punch which I dodged.

I aimed for his rib and punched him so hard that he lost balance. I kept punching him across his body until he fell to the ground.

I was about to go down on you when the school security grabbed me away, dragging me out of the hospital.

I could see him on the floor with blood coming out of his mouth and nose, but within me I still wasn't satisfied. I wanted to do more; I wanted him to feel so much pain, like what I was feeling when he reminded me of my mum.

I was taken to the school management office, where I sat with the director.

" what exactly is the problem with you and Landon, Lex you have never fought before"

She scolded, her masculine voice so deep that one couldn't help but stare at her with all attention.

"I do not understand why I am the only one being called up to this office when it was two people involved in a fight." I said to her.

"Mr Lex, you need to calm down. We are going to talk to Landon, but I need to talk to you first. This is not something I expect from you. I mean with you reputation and the kind of background you... "

I didn't let her finish that statement before I interrupted her so loudly, and she was staring at me in shock.

"I do not want you talking about my reputation or my background. All I want you to look into is the reason we fought, and that should be enough. "I am tired of you all wanting me to be perfect when the whole fucking world isn't perfect," I yelled at her. My voice was so loud that she had to push a chair backwards, staring at me from a safe distance.

"You know what, Lex? I think it will be better for you to go home. I'm going to call your father right now and tell him everything that happened today. You should go home and meet with him."

Hearing that she was going to call me 'father', I knew she was just about to make things so much more complicated for me.

I stared in silence for a few seconds, not sure of what I should say to her.

" can we start over? "I mean, I'm ready to tell you everything that happened," I said to her, my voice much calmer now.

" now, I want you to start from the exact beginning, tell me everything else I am calling your father. Do you think you can do that?"
