Hawk POV:

I look behind me as I leave Demetri behind. I get pats on the back as we walk out of the dark laser tag place.

-Hey Hawk, you coming? Mitch asks me.

-Nah I'm just gonna go home and chill for a bit, I excuse myself.

-Alright man, have fun, Mitch says sarcastically as he and the others drive away on their mopeds. I hesitate to drive away for a moment as my mind gets clouded with thoughts. I drive to an abandoned gas station and park, taking my helmet off. I needed to get these thoughts out of my head, and this pressure off of my chest. I feel tears wanting to escape and I open my phone and into my contacts and I see her name there. Her name and a big red heart after it... She's the only one that would understand.... I press her name and I hear the first signal sound through my ear.

Y/N POV:

I still haven't come over what had happened at school, no matter how much I tried. I've tried music and parties as a distraction. Nothing worked. So I've stopped supressing my emotions and crying as I read a romance novel, listening to piano music. Suddenly my music stops and my ringtone starts. I pick up my phone and see his name. Deciding that I'm too mad to answer, I hang up and my music starts again.

Hawk POV:

I hear that she hung up on me and my tears draw closer to the edge.

-Please please please, pick up, pick up! I say and press her name again, a few tones echoing in my head.

Y/N POV:

My ringtone plays once again and I sigh angrily and pick up.

-What? I ask. I hear shaky breaths.

Third Person POV:

Y/N hears sniffles through the phone.

-Y/N...? A whimper escapes Hawks throat. Y/N drops her anger.

-Eli... what's going on? Y/N asks concerned and put her book away.

-Y/N, I- Hawk starts sobbing. He breaks down, and he cowers over himself. He steps off of his moped and hangs on it. He holds tightly onto the handles of it.

-Hawk what happened? Y/N asks panicked.

-Y/N I did something stupid... I did something very, very stupid, Hawk sobs. Y/N just stares confused at her wall.

-Hawk... what did you do? She asks warily, afraid of the answer that she'd get.

He sobs loudly.

-I broke his arm Y/N! I broke... I broke his arm, he sobs. Y/N doesn't really understand, but she understands why he is crying.

-And I can't go home Y/N... I'm not gonna be able to look my mom in her eyes, Hawk continues to cry.

-Could I please come to your house? Please? I don't have anywhere to go. Cobra Kai will think I'm a pussy and Miguel hates me... please Y/N, Hawk begs. Y/N goes through her mind. Would she be ok? What would happen? What would she say?

-Ok... I'm at home, just knock when you're here, Y/N says, not knowing what else to do.

-Thank you... Thank you so much Y/N, Hawk says before he hangs up. Y/N keeps her phone by her ear.

-See you then... she whispers to herself.

Later:

A knock sounds on Y/N's front door.

-I'll get it! She shouts to her parents. She runs out of her room and open the door. There stands Hawk, who looks pretty put together for someone who basically just had a mental breakdown.

-Hi, Y/N says.

-Hi... Hawk answers. Y/N steps aside and let's Hawk inside. He walks inside and Y/N closes the door after him. He looks around. Y/N's mom comes out from the kitchen.

-Hi Hawk! She greets.

-Hi mrs L/N, he greets back.

-Mom, now's not really a good time, Y/N says, trying to hint.

-Oh, I understand! Well, you got some drinks in the fridge and some food and snacks in the fridge in case you get hungry, Y/N's mom says before leaving the teenagers to go into Y/N's room. Hawk stands in the middle of Y/N's room like a lost puppy, looking around for answers.

Y/N POV:

I close the door behind us and step inside. Hawk looks around.

-Do you want to sit on the floor or the bed? I ask into the silence. He turns to me.

-The floor is fine, he says. I nod and I sit down on the floor. He looks hesitantly at me before sitting down in front of me. He keeps looking around in astonishment.

-Yeah... I refurnished my room since the last time you were here, I say. He smiles a bit before he frowns and begins fiddling with his nails. I take a breath to prepare myself for the storm to come.

-I know what you did at school was wrong... but when I say that I'm always by your side, I mean that, I say. He starts shaking.

-Hawk, what happened? I ask.

-We were doing mean stuff. We stole teddy bears from the arcade, Hawk starts as tears come flooding.

-Then we just ran across the street to the run down laser tag. We were just playing around, Hawk says and whimpers.

-But then the Miyagi-do kids show up, and they start to pick a fight, he sniffles.

-And Adrenalin was pumping through me and suddenly, I had Demitri in an armlock... the other guys were pushing me on and... he stops and sobs, his hands curved into fists and he puts them to his face and cries.

-You broke his arm... I realize. He nods.

-I didn't wanna... but I can't get kicked out of the dojo, he cries. I sigh. This was a very difficult situation. I wanted to scream and shout at him, but at the same time I wanted to hug and comfort him. My mind was so confused.

-Hawk, I say. He looks up at me with bloodshot eyes.

-I'm very disappointed... you don't go around breaking peoples arms, I say.

-I know, he sniffles and tries to suck it up again.

-But it's ok to cry and it's good that you know what you did is wrong... I say. He looks away.

-I could've done better... Not only now but in school, I promised you and I.... I'm a monster, he says.

-Yeah, you are... I say. He looks at me.

-You broke a promise and broke someone arm. That's nothing a normal healthy person would do, I say. He begins crying again.

-But it's not you who made you a monster, I say.

-It's John Kreese. He's the one turning you into this psychopathic idiot, I say.

-Well I can't leave, he says.

-It's not that you can't... you won't, I say. He sobs out.

-I'm so lost Y/N... I don't even know who I am anymore, he cries. I sit up and pull him towards me. His arms immediately go around me as he cries into my chest.

-I'm sorry... I'm so so sorry Y/N, I never wanted to hurt anyone, he says between sobs. I start crying myself as I gently hold him.

-It's ok... It's ok, I say.

-You can't be perfect... neither can I, I say. He calms down slightly and has stopped shaking.

-I was afraid of you after the fight in school... I saw something in your eyes that I've never seen before and I... I got scared, I say. He pulls away from me and we watch each other as tears flow down our cheeks.

-And I thought that if you were capable of doing that to someone else... what would you do to me if I ever angered you? I confess. He looks at me in shock.

-Y/N... I-I would never hurt you, he says.

-I know, I sob. Now it's my turn to cry into his chest.

-I just got so afraid... I was in the middle of it and I just felt so alone... my friends were away fighting and you were fighting and I didn't know who to turn to... I say.

-You can always turn to me, he says.

I pull away from the embrace and we look at each other for a while. It was as if we had a silent conversation with our minds. I stopped crying, but he just kept on crying for hours.

Later:

I walk to the kitchen with Hawk as we begin to feel hungry.

-Hey mom, I sigh. She smiles as she turns to us from the fridge, but it quickly stops.

-What happened? She asks as she sees Hawks red eyes.

-He's had a rough day, I say and rub his arm softly.

-We we're just gonna eat something, we were hungry, I say.

-Well it's almost 7 o'clock so I understand that, mom says and pulls out two plates from the fridge.

-I saved them for you. Just pop them in the microwave for a few minutes and it'll be as good as new, she says as she grabs whatever she was there for and heads to the living room.

We eat in silence. Hawk looks at me every once in a while, to make sure I don't walk away. And I stay put. When I put the dishes in the dishwasher, he asks me an unexpected question.

-Could I sleep here tonight? I don't wanna go home, I wanna stay with you, he says. I close the dishwasher and look at him. He looks nervously at me.

-Hey mom? I shout from the kitchen.

-Yes sweetie? Mom yells back.

-Is it ok if Hawk spends the night? I ask.

-Yeah sure, you got the blow up mattress in your closet! She yells back. I can see Hawk visibly relax at what he hears.

-Thanks mom! I say.

-C'mon, let's get the bed ready, I say. He stands up and follows me back to my room and helps me put together the bed.

At 9 we feel absolutely drained on energy. I just put on a movie on my tv that we're watching. Hawk is laying in his bed with only boxers on, like he used to when he used to sleep over. And I'm sitting in my bed in my pajama shorts and an old shirt. The movie ends and I put on some soft lights and some piano music and we lay down to sleep... but I can't... I can't fall asleep. I lay there for a while.

-Hey Y/N...? I hear Hawk whisper.

-Are you still awake? He asks.

-Yeah... I whisper back.

-Can I... sleep with you? I can't feel at ease without you, he says.

-Alright, I say. I jump further in and he stands up and carefully sits down in my bed, before laying down. We're now just both laying on our backs, looking up at the ceiling.

-Goodnight now kids! Sleep tight! Mom shouts from outside my room.

-Good night mom, I say back.

-Goodnight mrs L/N, Hawk says. We hear as she walks further into the house and into her and dads room. Hawk turns his head to look at me. I do the same to him. We both have our hands just resting on our stomachs. He then reaches out his hand for mine. I put my hand in his and he holds it gently. I feel as his breath feels warm on my skin. He then carefully puts his forehead on mine.

-Y/N... I can't promise you anything until I've figured out what I want and need, he confesses.

-I know, I say.

-Your mind is a busy place. It's filled with love and rage at the same time and it's confusing for you... trust me, I know, I say. I look into his troubled eyes as he leans in and kisses me. I close my eyes slowly and cherish the feeling that I have only with him. How he can make my heart beat a thousand beats per minute and stop at the same time. His nose brushes against mine as we pull apart.

After a while, Hawk manages to fall asleep. I still can't bring myself to rest. Hawk is curled up against me, his arms and legs around me and his head on my chest as he is sleeping with a troubled face. Was it wrong for me to invite him? Was it wrong for me to let him kiss me? I didn't know. Because All I want is to see his smile again. His real, happy smile, that he only had during these type of nights. When we were younger he would get bullied and the only thing that put a smile on his face would be when I invited him for a sleepover night with ice cream and comedy movies. I miss that smile. I miss that innocent boy. And he was mine, but only for a moment... I sigh and pet his head calmly. This makes him relax and sigh as his face muscles relax. I sigh as I close my eyes and fall asleep.

I wake up, with my comforter carefully placed on me, unlike when I fell asleep. I feel lighter and heavier at the same time. The extra bed was neatly made and I knew just what had happened... he had just left...
