Chloe's POV:
I made my way home on my skateboard. I really appreciated everyone being so supportive of me.

But the truth is, I'm really embarrassed that I full on panicked in front of everyone. I feel tears start streaming down my cheeks as i ride down a hill.

Why did I have to panic like that? In front of everyone? It felt nice just to have a regular cry, and to actually be able to breathe. It also felt nice to be alone, just riding on my skateboard, my hair blowing in the wind, the air from outside cooling my face down after having the hot tears come down.

I finally got back to the house and johnny still wasn't home. I didn't think much of it and laid in bed. Just looking at the ceiling. Crying. But also being happy that I was alone and crying.

I heard the door to the apartment open. I assumed it was johnny and walked right out and wiped my tears.

"Hey johnny? oh my God are you ok? You look all beaten up! And why are you home so late?!" I asked concerned.

"What are you my mom? And I'm sorry I came back late I ran into someone I used to know and we butted heads a little."

"Really? a little? It looks like you tried to kill each other!" I said sort of angrily.

I cared about Johnny and I didn't want him to get hurt. He must've noticed my face was red from crying so he looked at me concerned.

"You alright clover?" he asked putting a hand on my shoulder. That set me off.

I couldn't even help it I just collapsed in his arms.

"Hey hey hey, shhhhh, it's alright." he said rubbing my back.

That only made me sob harder. I lifted my face up so he could see me. I was still crying just not as hard.

"What happened?" he asked in a really calming tone.

He was normally aggressive when he spoke.

"I panicked. In front of everyone when we were out celebrating." I said in sobs.

"What were you panicking about?"

"Robby." I said into his arms.

"Robby? Like Robby Keene? Why would you cry about him?"

I lifted my face up again and said,

"You don't get it. We were best friends since birth and I never knew you were his dad so now he's mad at me for moving in and when he knocked me out at the tournament he used my scars to distract me." I said going on and on while crying.

"Oh he told you I'm his dad. Trust me kid I won't let him make you move out. I'm sure theirs another way to make things right."

"Hopefully." I said calming down a little bit.

I walked to my room so I could relax and cheer up. I felt my phone vibrating and it was Miguel calling me.

"Hey Miguel. What's up?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok. If you wanna get your mind off of things we could go on a late night walk or something. Maybe stop by the dojo?"

"I'd like that. Sensei said the dojo was a mess though so we should probably skip that part."

"That's alright. I'll meet you outside in a few minutes."

"Alright bye."

I was excited to get some time alone with my best friend. I started heading out and put my hair in a messy bun and decided not to put on a jacket since I didn't really care about my scars anymore.
