I DO NOT OWN COBRA KAI OR THE KARATE KID.
After Ellie's showdown with her father, she spent even more time at the Larusso home. Daniel and Amanda enjoyed having there to help around the house. Meanwhile, Ellie and Samantha grew closer as friends. Sam took Ellie shopping with her, she did her nails, gave her advice. Samantha didn't have to worry about what Yasmin and the other girls would think. They had abandoned her after the whole incident with Kyler. Ellie was grateful for all the attention that she was getting. Sam and Robby Keane were the only friends that she had. Sometimes the three of them would hang out together. Robby had even managed to get a job at Mr. Larusso's auto dealership.
"My old man is gonna be so pissed off." Robby chuckled when he told Ellie the news.
"Is that the only reason that you want to work at the dealership?" she asked.
"No, I need the cash, the fact that it screws with my loser dad is merely a bonus." he assured his friend. Everything had been going good for Ellie Wheeler during the two weeks after she kicked her old man's ass. It was getting about time for everything to come crashing down and it eventually did, the week Ellie came out.
Ellie had known for about a year that she was a lesbian. She had not told anyone except her brother Will. She was afraid if she told her mom, her mom would tell her dad and if her dad found out, he would take his belt to her. She was tired of hiding who she was though and it was getting harder with Sam around, so one day she came out to Robby. He was actually pretty cool about it.
"You like who you like, no point in fighting it." He had told her after she revealed that she was into girls. Ellie was relieved that her friend accepted her for who she was. However, she was still worried about Samantha. Ellie had to admit that she had a huge crush on her and made things even worse. It all came to a head one night when Ellie and Samantha were having a sleepover as they often did. Sam had been grounded earlier that day for getting into a hit and run a few months back, but Mrs. Larusso had lifted Sam's punishment on Ellie's behalf.
"I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it because Ellie needs a friend right now." Amanda said as she consented to let Ellie spend the night. Sam had just finished doing Ellie's makeup and when she looked in the mirror, Ellie was pleasantly surprised.
"Wow!" Ellie exclaimed as Sam squeezed her from behind.
"You look so beautiful Ellie." she grinned as Ellie felt warmed up by the embrace. It was time to confess.
"Um...Sam, can I tell you something." Ellie asked as she faced her friend.
"Sure, what's up?" Sam asked as Ellie tried to find the right words.
"Sam I..." Ellie tried to say, but all she saw were Sam's beautiful eyes, her rosy cheeks, and her luscious lips. Without thinking, Ellie went in and kissed Samantha. Sam was stunned at first, but she eventually returned the kiss. It only lasted a few seconds through before Sam pulled back.
"Oh my God!" She exclaimed as Ellie got off the bed. "Ellie...I..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't meat to do that, it's just you're so pretty and your lips and...I need to go." She said as tears fell from her eyes. She tried to leave the room before Sam grabbed her.
"Ellie, no...it's OK." Sam said as Ellie turned away. "Look at me, you are beautiful."
"But you aren't into girls." Ellie finished.
"Actually...I'm bisexual." Sam admitted. "I came out to my parents last year."
"Then what's the but?"
"But...i'm dating Miguel, and I'm not a cheater." Sam explained. Ellie knew that Sam was just being a good person and she loved her for it. Even though she wanted Sam, she couldn't steal someone else's girl, even if Miguel was a tool.
"I understand." Ellie replied as she moved to leave. "Please don't tell Miguel about this."
"OK, will I see you tomorrow?" Sam asked nervously.
"Your dad is my sensei, I'm sure you will." Ellie stated as she walked out of Sam's room. Her heart in two even pieces.
