Nicole had gotten into NYU. She was leaving for college tomorrow morning. She and Hawk had been together for a little over a year. He and Demetri had left for MIT last week.
Flashback
Hawk and Demetri were leaving soon for MIT. Nicole was at Hawk's house. They were in his room.
"I can't believe you're leaving." Nicole said.
"I know."
She started to cry a little. "Damn it, I told myself not to do this."
"Come here." They hugged. "It's ok Nic."
"It's just that we've seen each other every day for over a year."
"Now we're both leaving here."
"I know, it sucks." "We'll see each other on Thanksgiving break."
"I know but that's in three months.""We'll have Skype and our phones."
"I know." She said sadly.
"I know you don't want me to go."
"No I don't."
"When we're done we'll be together." "I know it's four years but we'll make it work."
"Yeah we will." They kissed. "I love you so much.""
I love you too."
"You'd better behave yourself, Hawk." She said smiling.
"You called me Hawk." He said smirking.
"I figured you'd like that."
"Yeah I do, a little more then I should right now."
"Oh, it's a turn on for you huh?"
"Yeah."
"Seriously though, you know I trust you right?"
"Yes." "You know I trust you to."
"I know."
End Of Flashback
It was early in the morning. Nicole was in her room in the dojo out back. The Skype ring went off on her phone. She pressed the button to connect Hawk popped up on the screen.
"Hi honey." She said.
"Hi Nic."
"Hi Nicole." Demetri said off camera. He and Hawk were roommates.
"Hi Demetri." Nicole said. "So, what are the binary brothers up to?"
"Well Demetri's about to leave for a class." Hawk said. "I had a few minutes in-between classes and I wanted to see somebody beautiful."
"Aw." She heard a door open and close. "Did Demetri leave?"
"Yeah." "Nervous about tomorrow?"
"Yeah but I'm excited to see New York City."
"I'll bet." "Send me lots of pictures."
Later that night Nicole made dinner for everyone.
"You didn't have to make us dinner." Daniel said.
"I just wanted to thank all of you for the last year." "Without you taking me in, I wouldn't be getting ready to go to college tomorrow." "I love you all."
"We love you too." Amanda said.
After dinner Nicole and Sam were in Sam's room.
"I can't believe starting next week, we'll all be in college." Sam said.
"I know." "You're just lucky that you and Miguel both got into Stanford." "It's only been a week for me and Eli and we're both going crazy."
"I know."
"It was hard to say goodbye to him." "I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to you either."
"It's going to be weird without you around."
"You were my first friend when I moved here." "I know we had our off period and I know I was wrong for that."
"I don't blame you." "You were being manipulated by Kreese."
"I consider you a sister Sam."
"I do to." They hugged.
Nicole had packed her things and they were already in the car. She decided to go for a drive. Driving around she was thinking about going and saying goodbye to Robby. They hadn't spoken since the last time they argued, so it had been a long time. She knew he was still living at the Cobra Kai dojo. She pulled into the parking lot and didn't see Tory's car. She decided to go in. She went in and went to the back. Robby was sitting on the air mattress reading a book.
"Robby." She said.
He looked up with a surprised look on his face. "Hey." "Come here." She sat down in front of him. They hugged. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to say goodbye." "I'm leaving for NYU tomorrow."
"You got in?"
"Yeah."
"That's great." "How's your boyfriend?"
"He's good." "He's at MIT." "How's Tory?"
"That's been over for a long time."
"Robby, I'm so sorry about what I said to you the last time we talked."
"I'm sorry to."
"No, you were right." "My mom doesn't love me." "She kicked me out the day I turned eighteen."
"Where have you been staying?"
"With the LaRusso's."
"I've been thinking about going and talking to Mr. LaRusso."
"I think you should." "He would love to hear from you." "What happened with you and Tory."
"We started fighting a lot, plus, she wasn't you."
"I have to go." She went to get up. He stopped her.
"Nicole I-
"No Robby." She said interrupting him. "Don't."
"I know why you left me." "After we lost the baby I was an asshole." "I pushed you away and I'm so sorry." "I know why you went to Hawk." "He was giving you the comfort and support that I wasn't."
"I didn't do anything with him until we broke up."
"I know."
"I know who I became but I'm not him anymore." "It's me." "I know you know it's me."
"I'm over you Robby." "I love Eli."
"You must still feel something for me." "You still wear the ring."
"I'll always feel something for you Robby." "You were going to be the father of my child."
"I love you."
"Robby." She said with tears coming down her cheeks.
"One more kiss, please." She kissed him. He kissed her back and tasted her tears. They both didn't want to break it but after a few minutes she did.
She stood up. "Bye Robby."
"Stay."
"I can't." "I know what you want." "I won't lie, I want it to but I can't." "I can't do that to Eli." She left. Robby was heartbroken.
They next morning she got on a plane to New York. Even though the interaction with Robby with last night hurt, she was ready to start the next chapter of her life, looking forward to her future with Hawk.
