The difference a sister can make

Chapter Three: Karate Kid: Sibling confrontations

~(^.^)~

Jessie had the entire twenty minute walk home to think about what exactly she was gonna say to her brother. The more she thought about what happened on the beach the angrier she got. Daniel was nice, and he was only trying to help her and Ali. Johnny didn't have to hurt him the way he did.

By the time she got back to her house she was furious. She only got angrier when she saw her brothers bike sitting in the driveway. She stomped up the front steps onto the porch, then into the house. She walked up the stairs as quietly as possible, not wanting to wake her mom and stepfather.

Without knocking she barged into her brothers room. He was lying on his bed reading a magazine. She stormed over to him, ripped the magazine out of his hands, and smacked him upside the head, hard.

"What the hell Jessie!" He yelled, standing up.

"You're an asshole! How could you do that? What the hell is wrong with you?" She shouted back, shoving him.

"Hey, you and Ali started it!" Johnny stated, scowling at her.

"No! You started it. You started it by never listening to either of us when we talk to you. By not paying attention to what we tell you. You missed Ali's birthday cause you were out drinking with your stupid Cobra Kai friends, and hanging out with a girl who you knew neither Ali or I liked. And then you didn't even tell us about it, and we had to find out from someone else. Ali told you it was over. She's not your girlfriend anymore and she doesn't want to be your girlfriend ever again. She told you just as much, but again you don't listen to anything either of us ever say to you," Jessie raged, hands waving through the air animatedly.

"Jessie-"

"NO! You don't get to speak! You listen, for once! I have put up with a lot of shit from you the past couple months, but this is the last straw. What you did to that kid tonight was unacceptable!"

"Hey, he hit me."

"Yeah after you kicked him in the stomach. And after he saw you harassing me and Ali-"

"He shouldn't have stepped in like he did. It was none of his business, he should have staid out of it," Johnny growled, hands clenching into fists at his side.

"Let me ask you something. If, when you first met Ali, her ex-boyfriend had shown up and acted the way you did tonight. Had harassed her even after she told him to leave her alone and destroyed her radio the way you did. What would you have done?" Jessie questioned.

Johnny's jaw clenched in anger, and he looked away from her. The answer of what he would have done was clear on his face. He knew she was right; he just didn't want to admit it.

"You would have kicked that guy's ass into the ground without hesitation. All Daniel did was try to hand Ali her radio back and you shoved him to the ground and beat up on him for doing something you would have done in his place," Jessie stated.

"Oh so what, now he's Daniel?"

"Well that is his name. And what does me calling him by his name have to do with anything?" Jessie asked, throwing her hands up in frustration.

"I saw the way you were acting tonight. You were flirting with him," Johnny accused.

"So what if I was?! I can take care of myself, and I can date whoever I want. You can't just keep scaring away all the boys from me the way you do. We're the same age but you act like I'm your little sister who needs your protection. Well news flash, I don't! And neither does Ali. Daniel was nice to us, and he was just looking out for us. And you beat the crap out of him for it," Jessie ranted.

Johnny crossed his arms over his chest and refused to look at her. Jessie scowled at him for a moment, then shook her head when it became clear he wasn't going to say anything to her.

"God! Sometimes I really miss the person you used to be before you joined that stupid Dojo. Before you became this total jackass," Jessie muttered.

She turned on her heel and stormed out of the room, and across the hall to her room. She flopped down on her bed, buried her head in her pillow, and started crying. She felt so damn frustrated. No matter how much she talked to him, she couldn't seem to get through to him. She blamed that crazy Sensei of his, Kreese.

She remembered the day she tried to sign up for karate with her brother. The moment she'd stepped into that Dojo and come face to face with the man she felt uncomfortable. He had this wild look in his eyes, and a crazy looking smug smirk plastered across his face. He seemed to take great pleasure in telling her to get the hell out of his Dojo because he didn't teach girls.

Honestly, he creeped her out. But she let it go, because Johnny seemed so excited about learning karate. And she knew it would be good for his self-esteem. So she ignored her instincts about the Sensei. Something she was regretting.

He changed after he started going to that Dojo. Yeah he was more confident in himself, and he made some new friends, but he also started acting like a complete jerk. He became just like the kids that used to pick on him. He and his friends would beat up on anyone that messed with them. And that stupid 'No Mercy' shit was really starting worry her. They wouldn't just settle for knocking someone to the ground. No they had to beat them till they couldn't stand back up, all because Kreese taught them to not show mercy. And seriously, what kind of person teaches that shit to kids?

Jessie turned over onto her back and stared up at the ceiling. She felt like she was loosing her brother. And she wasn't sure how to get him back.

And then her mind drifted to the boy she'd met tonight. He was cute, and sweet. And he had the prettiest brown eyes she'd ever seen. God she could get lost in those eyes. And she hated that her brother was the reason he now had a black eye.

She drifted off to sleep that night, with a pair of brown eyes floating through her mind…

~(^.^)~

AN: Yeah, she's got a major crush. But she's not gonna do anything about it while she knows her friend likes him too. Next chapter, the first day of school!
