"So Walter, you get enough," I teasingly ask Hawk as he struggles to carry all the beer and vodka he bought.
"Yeah, guess so," Hawk says with strain on his voice.
"Jesus," Miguel remarks as Hawk and I place the alcohol in the trunk of my car.
"Gotta deliver," I say lightly elbowing Miguel in the side.
Miguel nods.
"Hold up. Hawk, show Miguel your fake," I say.
"Okay," he says and fiddles with his wallet.
"Miguel, meet Walter Hawkman, the 25 year old organ donor," I tease.
"What? It doesn't say I'm an organ donor!" Hawk responds defensively.
"I know. Just messing with you," I say smirking at him.
Hawk rolls his eyes and his lip curls into a smile.
"Imagine if I was one," He says stifling a laugh.
Authors note: I fully support organ donors. These are merely jokes because I thought it'd be funny. Please don't get the wrong idea.
"Next time, change your name to McLovin," I say to him.
Hawk and Miguel burst out laughing as they get my reference to Superbad.
"Oh shit. Nice man," Miguel says fist pumping Hawk when he sees the ID.
"Ha! Walter Hawkman. You look like a heartbreaker who definitely disowned his first name," Miguel says chuckling.
Hawk shrugs and we decide to head to the canyon. I call Moon and tell her we're on the way and she says she'll see me there. Ames calls her friends and gets them to clear their schedules.
Roughly 2 hours later, the party is in full swing. I never imagined that a darty would be this fun. Daylight just doesn't have the same vibes, but this was proving to be quite the darty. Hawk and I immediately take over the beer pong table that some kid brought. We win another 7 games and decide to do other things. Hawk runs off with Melody and Moon texts me that she's here. I look up the hill and freeze in my tracks. None other than Kyler, Brucks, Yasmine, and to my surprise and horror, Moon. I see Kyler look at someone and his smirk disappears. I follow his vision and see Miguel glaring up at them. Miguel's already in a sour mood so if Kyler is a dumbshit and wants to egg him on again, then he's making a huge mistake. I however was not about to let them join the party. I see Hawk and Mel making out in the corner and walk over to them.
"Hate to interrupt, but look who decided to show," I say and nod my head towards them.
"Not for long," Hawk says as his expression contorts to that of rage.
Hawk and I storm up the hill and Brucks takes a step back in fear.
I just sign dramatically.
"You have a death wish?" I ask incredulously.
"Nah we were gonna party here," Brucks responds angrily.
"Better move your fatass up and out. Same with you," Hawk snaps at Kyler and Brucks.
"Oh look at this kid. Thinks he can...," Kyler says before actually looking closer at Hawk.
"HOOOLY SHIT!" Kyler starts to say before stopping when he catches a closer look at Hawk.
"It's the kid with the lip. I thought he moved or something," Kyler says jabbing his finger right between Hawk's eyes and begins laughing his ass off along with Brucks.
"Guys stop being mean," Moon demands, but Kyler and Brucks ignore her.
"I'm gonna ask you this once. Hey, morons!" I say snapping my fingers around their faces to get their attention.
"What," Kyler responds folding his arms and looking at me.
"You two have the nerve to show up to our party. What are you nuts? Here's the thing, you two and you. I don't give a flying fuck that it's your birthday," I say pointing at Yasmine. "Better leave right now, or Hawk and I here are gonna make sure you two get dragged out of here," I threaten with 100% sincerity.
"Your gonna hit a girl freak?" Yasmine says getting in my face.
"Yasmine!" Moon snaps.
"Oh I don't need to do anything to you. I have two friends down there who'd be more than happy to get their licks in," I say and step closer to her.
"Does the name Amelia Jones ring a bell?" I whisper in her ear and she flinches.
"Yeah that's what I thought. Also Aisha Robinson would be happy to do a number on you. Something another nose job can't fix," I say smiling evilly as Yasmine gasps.
"Blake!" Moon yells in disbelief.
This snaps me out of my funk and turn to look at Moon with regret on my face. She looks at me with her mouth slightly agape.
"Moon—" I start to say.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She asks in horror.
"What me? Look at them," I saw gesturing to the school bullys.
"The hell did we do?" Kyler innocently asks.
"What haven't you done?!" Hawk yells as he walks right up to Kyler and sizes him up.
"Better step away from me shitlip or ill-" Kyler begins to say before Hawk socks him right in the nose.
Hawk just brutalizes Kyler while he struggles in vain to push Hawk off of him.
"H-Hey man," Brucks says and starts walking over to them.
"Hey asshole!" I say and he turns to face me.
"What'd you just call me?" He challenges and his hands ball into fists.
"Really? You wanna go again?" I ask sarcastically with a smirk as I gesture to his fists.
I'm glad he remembers the woods. Quickest knockout ever. I've struggled more against Mikey in training than I did with Brucks.
Authors note: Mikey is the short kid with long hair who gets double teamed by Miguel and Tory at coyote creek. If you look closely, he was in season 1.
He steps back.
"Stop please!" Yasmine and Moon yell and then start shouting in giberish, begging for Hawk to stop punching Kyler into oblivion. As much as I enjoy seeing Hawk beat the tar out of Kyler, I know Hawk isn't restrained and will severely injure Kyler and get in legal trouble if he doesn't stop.
I go and pull Hawk who struggles immensely off of a very bloody and bruised Kyler. Hawk screams in fury as he struggles to no end to get out of my grip.
"Hey that's enough man! You really want this pussy to cry to Blatt again?!" I ask loudly.
"He ruined my life! He deserves to die!" Hawk yells pointing to Kyler while breathing hard and Kyler just stares up at us in a daze.
"Well his life right now is worse than death. He has nothing, but a group of unpopular jocks. He's on the bottom now, but you Hawk, your at the top now. Make his life hell by being happy. I promise you, they can't stand it," I say.
Hawk finally calms down.
"Both of you LEAVE!" I yell.
Brucks and Kyler scurry to Kyler's jeep and speed out of there.
"Looks like they forgot one," Hawk says glaring daggers at Yasmine.
"No it's fine. She can stay," I say biting my lip.
I really don't wanna allow this at all, but I know Moon will never let me live it down unless I can appeal to Yasmine for now. Moon smiles at me with gratitude and force a smile back.
"No I don't wanna stay at this loser party," Yasmine says then scoffs.
"Let's go Moon," Yasmine says.
"No, I'm staying. I tried to give you and those two jerks a second chance, but you really can't change! You'll always be a snobby bitch unless you can learn to be nicer to people!" Moon shouts in an anger ive never seen in my whole life.
Holy fuck that was hot. Damn this chick is a fire cracker.
"Fine," Yasmine says then begins walking down the hill.
"Here's the thing. If I hear one snide remark about anyone here, any mean social media posts about anyone here, or you trying to get more of your piece of shit friends to show without our permission, then just remember that I have Amelia and Aisha on speed dial," I say.
"Whatever," Yasmine sighs.
"Now... go have fun I guess," I say awkwardly.
Yasmine just scoffs and begins to walk down the hill.
"You alright man?" I say placing my hand on Hawk's shoulder.
He looks more Eli than ever right now as he looks at the ground with a pouty and discouraged expression.
"Yeah, I just hate him so much. He made me wish I was dead every day since kindergarten," Hawk says.
"Hey man-" I say and wrap my arm around his shoulders as we walk down the hill with Moon following in close pursuit.
"You aren't that kid anymore. I mean, I'm gonna miss bonding over "nerd shit," with you since "the Hawk," is too alpha, but you've embraced a new side of yourself you didn't even know you possessed. Your thriving now. You flipped the script Hawk, you did. Hawk, you beat the bullies. You did and you didn't even have to beat them up to do it," I say looking him in the eye.
"I did beat them up though," Hawk says smirking slightly.
"They were already downgraded to losers anyway," I say shrugging.
Hawk and I laugh at that and he leaves to go find Mel. I turn and smile at Moon.
"I'm sorry, I don't usually get angry like that I-" Moon begins to say, but I cut her off by kissing her full on the mouth.
"Babe, that was so hot," I say with emphasis and chucking like a dork.
She raises her eye brows and her lips curl into a slight smile as she gnaws at the corner of her lip.
"Bet you didn't think there was a badass in there somewhere. I may hate violence and negative emotions, but I know how to handle myself," she says confidently.
"Believe me. I always knew there was a badass in there. Let's go party till the sun sets hotty," I tease.
"Love you babe," Moon says and we kiss.
I pull her close and we walk down the hill to rejoin the party.
We just have fun for the next few hours. Moon and I are sitting on a log making out and drinking ice cold beer while music and nightime chill add to the good vibes. Everyone is having a wonderful time except Miguel. I reluctantly break from my kiss with Moon and look over at Miguel standing alone and chugging a beer before looking at his phone. He shakes his head and walks over to the cooler.
"Jesus," I whisper shaking my head.
"What's wrong?" Moon asks concerned.
"Miguel," I answer.
"What happened? Did you two get in a fight?" Moon asks.
"No, it's Sam. I think she stood him up," I theorize.
"Sam would never do that. What makes you think that?" Moon asks wrapping her arms around my elbow and leaning into me and I brood and stare at the fire.
I sigh and stare at the empty coors banquet can combusting in the flames. I watch some tiny cedar tree shrivel up and turn to ash. The tree reminds me of Mr. LaRusso's car commercials. I catch sight a big garden snake slithering around the rocks surrounding the fire pit and it hisses in what almost sounds like laughter. It seems to be waiting patiently for something, but what exactly? The snake almost looks as if it's above the fire in triumph. Why does this bother me so much and fill me with so much dread? Almost like something sinister is coming in the future.
"Blake, talk to me," Moon pleads snapping me out of my trance.
"Miguel told me that Sam kept him a secret from her family. Neither of us know why she would. I mean, I don't wanna assume the worst, but could Sam possibly be ashamed of him somehow? If she is, then why? He's an amazing person, funny, cool, easygoing, he deserves the world. I'm so lucky to have him as a best friend," I say and smile at the sky.
"No way. Sam really likes Miguel a lot. We talk about you two often. Best friends dating best friends. How come we haven't gone on a double date yet?" Moon asks grinning.
"We totally should. We've both been so focused on getting ready for the tournament that we haven't really had time to think about that. Sensei Lawrence is relying on me and him to win this thing and I'm gonna make sure I do it. Or at least one of us does," I say.
"Are you nervous?" Moon asks.
"I've never been more nervous for anything in my entire life. Except those moments before our first date and when I went over to your house for dinner to meet your family," I say and smile at her.
"My parents love you," Moon says.
"They're super nice. I can tell where you get your approachable nature from. You make people feel welcome so easily. It's what drew me to you. Well also the fact that your smoking hot," I tease the last sentence.
She snorts and pulls my face toward here's. She snakes her same around my neck and deepens the kiss. When we break I caress her cheek and play with a strand of her hair.
"I never get tired of that," I rasp.
"Me neither," she whispers.
I look over and see Hawk and Mel chatting with Aisha and Amelia. Demetri is with a crowd of kids I don't know and Ashley and Tracey are flirting with two random guys.
"Let's go hang with them," I suggest point to Hawk and the others.
"Yeah, maybe they'll play us in BP," moon says as she slips on her jacket.
"Hold on a sec," I say and look her over.
Moon gives me a "about time you found out" look.
"This is the same outfit you wore to our first date," I say grinning at her.
"You remembered," she says smiling.
"Are you kidding how could I forget. The thing I remember is opening your car door and seeing you, then standing there speechless like a dork," I say chuckling.
"Well I thought it was cute," Moon says lightly pinching my cheek.
I slip on my blue leather Cobra Kai jacket due to the lack of warmth that comes with leaving the fire. Moon and I walk over to Hawk, Aisha, Amelia, and Mel.
"Hey guys. What's going on?" I say cheerfully as Moon and I walk up.
"Heeey there he is!" Hawk exclaims before smirking and holding out his hand for me to dab up.
We high five.
"Hi Blake. What's popping stud?" Mel says and fist pumps me.
"Not much. Moon and I were just talking," I say shrugging.
"Really, just talking?" Aisha says sarcastically smirking at us.
"Okay maybe a little more," I say thanks to alcohol fucking with my choice of words.
We all laugh and Hawk slaps his knee due to things being funnier when under the influence.
"Amelia, I love your outfit," Moon says with a jovial smile.
"Thanks, you don't look half bad yourself," Amelia remarks in a joking flirty voice and raising an eyebrow.
"Uh oh, better watch out Murphy. Looks like you've got a little competition," Hawk's says lightly bumping my shoulder.
Everyone laughs. Amelia and I share an awkward laugh as I remember the day where she confessed her feelings for me outside the dojo. I'm sure that's exactly what's going through her mind right now. However, I can't help but admire her looks as well. Not in THAT way, but she does look really pretty. She's wearing a blue jean jacket with a black spaghetti strap crop top with grey ripped jeans.
We're about to continue our conversation when we hear someone yell at us.
"HEY!" Yasmine yells and storms up to us.
We all look at her and give dirty looks with the exception of Moon.
"What do you want skank?" Amelia says as her fiery temper flares.
Yasmine just gives Amelia a dirty look then turns her attention back to Aisha.
"You think it's funny crashing my party?" Yasmine says getting in her face.
"it's not really your party because we were here first," Aisha says returning the animosity.
"Yeah, well, I know you and your little karate gang think you're cool, but we all remember who you really are. You're just a fugly bitch, and your friends are all freaks," Yasmine sneers out looking at all of us, but focusing on my face scars.
Freak. God I hate that word.
Amelia starts storming over to Yasmine ready to pull a Hawk style beating, but miraculously, I decide to stop her. She gives me a "what the fuck look." I wink and subtly curl my lip into a smile as I nod my head toward Aisha.
I mouth "trust me," to Amelia and she reluctantly nods and tosses her dark hair over her shoulder.
"Yasmine, why are you so horrible? I can't believe I was ever friends with a bully like you. I really had my head up my ass and so does anyone who gives you the time of day. I think you should leave," Moon says saddened, but trying to keep it together.
I know she still holds some attachment to Yasmine so I feel bad about this.
"Whatever. You deserve them Moon," Yasmine says clearly hurt by Moon's betrayal even though Moon left her a while ago.
She shoulder checks Aisha who barely stumbles at all and begins to storm off, but I know she won't get away that easily.
"Hey Yasmine!" Aisha yells behind her angrily.
"Huh? What?" Yasmine answers daring Aisha to do something.
"Let me help you to your car," Aisha says in a snarky tone and the next thing shocks me completely.
Aisha sticks her hand in Yasmine's pants and before I can even process what just happened, Aisha's hand shorts up with a fistful of red panties. Yasmine let's out a blood curdling scream as she's lifted into the air by her underwear. My jaw drops to the floor as my eyebrows slowly raise in a sick kind of joy at seeing this. An eye for an eye. Hawk and I make eye contact as we wear the same expression and are silently chuckling. Moon and Melody as shocked.
"NO MERCY BITCH!" Aisha screams and throws her down into the dirt.
"Haha! FUCK YOU!" Amelia screams as she viciously kicks Yasmine square in the face and blood explodes around her.
"Woah woah!" I yell as I struggle to pull Amelia away from Yasmine.
Everyone points and laughs at Yasmine as she stands up holding her shattered nose and crotch. Yasmine runs away in humiliation and Aisha and Amelia fist pump and look at each other with satisfaction.
"Holy shit," I whisper clapping my hand on Hawk's shoulder and taking a deep breath.
"That. Was. AWESOME!" Hawk yells and puts his arms around Aisha and Amelia's shoulders.
I give Moon a look as she looks at me wide eyed.
"Whew. Good thing I apologized and were friends now," Moon says wiping her brow.
"Yeah, for sure," I say wrapping my arm around her and kissing the top of her head.
However, I see that someone else isn't having as much fun. Miguel is standing alone by the water kicking rocks and chugging his beer.
"Jesus," I mutter to myself.
"I'm gonna go chill with Miguel for a second," I say to Moon.
"Okay sounds good," Moon answers and I walk up to him.
"Hey buddy. You good?" I ask walking up to Miguel who is still looking at his phone.
"Yeah, totally. Everything's fine. Everything's!..." Miguel repeats through gritted teeth in rage before kicking dirt in the air.
I don't know how to respond to his little drunk temper tantrum, so I just watch.
"What?!" He shouts and waves his hands in front of my face.
"N-Nothing, just making sure everything is cool. Obviously, it isn't so talk," I say.
"I don't wanna," he whines.
"Well that sucks for you because I'm not leaving until I get an answer," I say sitting on a lawn chair and giving Miguel an evil smirk.
He could easily just walk away, but his thoughts don't process that as he sits in the chair next to me. I look around and the crowd is back to just partying after the whole Yasmine fiasco.
"Sam still hasn't picked up. After everything with that kid. I don't know what to do," Miguel says putting his head in his hands.
I'm about to answer when I hear laughing and turn my head around to see Sam and that vanilla ice kid who hangs around with her dad holding hands and laughing as they walk down the hill.
"Son of a bitch," I whisper to myself while shaking my head.
Miguel gets up and storms over to the pair. I follow closely behind and jog to keep up with Miguel. I know I should probably leave them alone, but Miguel is hammered right now and he might do something stupid. However, Sam is checking all the boxes regarding Miguel's accusations so I wouldn't blame him if he's pissed.
"H-hey, hey, hey," Miguel says sounding like a parent who caught their kid doing something bad.
"Hey," Sam says then smiles, oblivious toward Miguel's negative tone.
"Who's this guy?" Miguel says in an accusing tone.
Im just standing there awkwardly with my hands in my pockets watching this go down.
"Wait this... this is your boyfriend?" the other kid remarks with what sounds like disgust.
"Why are you saying it like that?" I say in a challenging tone and step up next to Miguel folding my arms and staring this kid down.
"Yeah Miguel relax. This is Robby he works with my dad," Sam says casually while disregarding my presence.
"Oh with your dad. Okay that makes a lot of sense. Doesn't it make a lot of sense?" Miguel says sarcastically hitting me in the chest and I nod.
"Whats that supposed to mean? Wait have you been drinking?" Sam asks disapprovingly.
"What it means LaRusso, is that you act all shady when Miguel brings up your family, but have no problem with this jerk off meeting your family," I say jutting my head to Robby who scowls when I call him a "jerk off."
"Blake, this has nothing to do with you," Sam says narrowing her eyes at me.
"No, no, he's right, you don't get to turn this on me. I texted, and called you, all day! And you couldn't answer me back once?!" Miguel says in disgust.
"No my mom took my phone," Sam says pleading for Miguel to understand.
"Oh how convenient!" Miguel remarks dramatically because of alcohol.
"Hey, hey, man.." Robby starts to say.
"And it's... YOU GET OUT OF HERE!" Miguel yells and shoves Robby to the ground in anger.
"Jesus Miguel, relax man. Your drunk," I say and grab his arm.
"Miguel stop it!" Sam says in horror.
"Sam, he's drunk. He just needs to-," I say putting my hand up to hopefully calm her down.
I see the kid start to get up.
"Okay, I'm gonna take this kid to get a beer or something and you two can talk," I say tightening my grip on Miguel and pointing to Robby.
"Hey man you wanna try that again?" Robby says challengingly to Miguel as he storms up to him.
"Hey haircut! Why don't you fuck off!" I state firmly and step between him and Miguel.
No way I'm getting this douchebag a beer now.
Miguel wrenches free from my grasp and walks up to Robby.
"Try it again.." Miguel says ominously and reels back his arm to punch Robby.
"Miguel no!" I yell, but it's too late.
He goes to punch Robby, but Sam tries to intervene and Miguel's forearm collides with her face and she goes down with a grunt of pain.
"Miguel what the fuck man!" I say in shock and run over to help up Sam.
"Sam, I'm sorry.." Miguel says and bends down to pick her up.
"God you ASSHOLE! What the hell was that?! My dad was right about Cobra Kai," Sam says near tears.
Miguel looks at her in horror. However, any sympathy I had for Sam went out the window when she dissed Cobra Kai. Miguel made a big fucking mistake, but that has nothing to do with our entire dojo. What about beating down the bullies that terrorized half the school?
"Yeah, well our Sensei was right about LaRusso's," I say glaring daggers at her.
"Is that so?" Robby says walking up to me and sizing me up.
"Yeah, rotten to the core," I say evilly while scowling at Sam who returns the glare with just as much animosity.
"Good luck at the tournament. I won't be there," she says in anger toward Miguel.
"I know Mr. LaRusso's been teaching you karate. See you at the tournament, punk," I say and shove Robby with one arm then turn around.
The kid can go after me if he wants, but he must have decided to leave because I don't feel a punch to the back of my head.
"Oh God, what did I do? what did I do?" Miguel says growing hysterical.
"Calm down man," i say scratching my head.
"Are you kidding, I hit her. I hit Sam. I hit Sam," he repeats until his eyes well up into tears.
I pull him into a hug. He begins crying hysterically into my jacket.
"Cmon, let's get out of here," I whisper.
Miguel sniffs then nods. The whole drive, Miguel cries silently. Luckily, I drank early on and not a lot. I told Moon, Hawk, and the others that I had to deal with a family emergency as to why I left.
"Dude, I'm so screwed," Miguel whispers with a broken voice.
My heart breaks for my best friend.
"You messed up. However, this whole mess is because she played you. That Robby kid shouldn't have been so friendly when he knew she was in a relationship. If I'm being honest here, I don't know what to say about hitting Sam. She took you for granted, but hitting her was the limit man. One day, itl get better, I promise. For now, all I can say is apologize. Just apologize and give her time. She won't forgive you instantly, hell, she might not forgive you for a long time, but all you can do is good. If you act good toward and around her, she'll see the guy she liked, not the one who hit her. For now, all I can say is win the tournament. Train your ass off and do whatever you can to distract yourself. However, if you square off against me, I won't hold back," I say smiling slightly at the last part.
"I have to win this. Cobra Kai is all I have left. Without it, I'm nothing," Miguel whispers through sniffles.
"Now your just being dramatic. Miguel, tonight was a mistake you made one day of your life. Your still my best friend even without karate. You grew into your confident she'll and you were the one to convince yourself that you were the man. Just like Hawk did and just like I did. Dude, your awesome. Sensei Lawrence will be proud of you whether you win it all or lose in the first round and so will everyone at the dojo. However, whichever one of us goes up against Robby is winning big," I say.
"His ass is grass. God I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch. He took my girl. He stole her. He's living my life. I should've been at dinner with the LaRusso's house that night, not him. I should've been the one laughing and holding hands down that hill, not Robby. He better pray he doesn't fight me in the tournament," Miguel sneers in a cold rage.
I just pay attention to the road in silence and try to forget.
Authors note: sorry this took so long. I have been really busy with everything. However, here is the new installment of my story. Shits picking up alright. Next chapter is THE TOURNAMENT. LETS GOOO! Anyway, comment on what you want the matchups to be. Would you rather have a Murphy vs Hawk rematch in the quarterfinals then have the winner fight Robby or would you rather have Blake beat Xander Stone and fight Miguel. I'm leaning towards having Blake fight a stronger Hawk and for them to have a real match without a diabetes attack then having Blake fight Robby, but I'll let you guys vote in the comments. I promise the next chapter will come out much earlier. I'm excited to get to season 2. Happy reading!
