Cobra Kai : Hawk Love Story

Chapter 6

       I have been sick for a few days now. It sucks, I'm hungry but I can't eat anything because I just vomit it up. My neighbor, the receptionist lady of this place has been checking on me. Her name is Jasmine, I call her Jas. She is a mother figure to me. When I moved here she got the apartment next to mine. She took care of me when I needed it, she has been there for me every since, of course it took me a while to tell her my story, but I did. 

     Today was the best I had felt the whole time I was sick. Jas came to check on me earlier and said I still had a fever and to take it easy. The other day Sam and Miguel went on a date. Sam told me all about it, now they are dating. I was sitting on my couch drinking some tea. I get a text from Aisha.

      'Hey want to come to a party at the canyon at 4:30?'

      I text back 'Sure I'd love too, but I'm going to have to see how I feel later. Still sick.'

      'Well hope you feel better and hope you can make it' I put my phone down. I finish my tea, I go into my room and start doing some yoga. I always do yoga when I'm sick or not feeling good, it makes me feel better. After I take a shower. Then I lay in bed and fall asleep. I wake up and look at the time.

     "Shit!" I murmur, it was 4:00. I felt better, I needed to get ready and then I had about an hour drive to the canyon. I get up and put some skinny jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie on. I put my converse on. I get into my car and drive to the canyon. I arrive, there were a lot of people here. I was starting to feel a little sick again but I just didn't think about it. I get out of my car and walk down the sandy hill and over to Aisha.

    "Hey! You made it!" She said and offered me a drink.

     "No thanks, I don't drink. But the party is awesome." I say, my voice a little shaky from feeling sick. She smiles and nods. 

     It had been about an hour, the sun had gone down. I was standing by the fire trying to keep warm. Also trying not to get sick, Miguel was drunk. I was talking with Aisha when I had looked over and saw Hawk and some girl making out. My heart shattered.

     "Oh Max, I'm so sorry." Aisha says looking at what I saw. She had known I liked Hawk. I felt tears come to my eyes. Hawk and the girl pull away for each other, smiling. The girl says something to him and gets up and walks off to go talk to her friends. Hawk made eye contact with me.

      "I-I think I'm just going to go" I say, my voice shaky. Aisha nods. I start walking up the sandy hill and over to my car. Just before I reach my car, I feel a hand on my wrist, I turn to see who it was, Hawk. "What do you want?" I snap

    "Wow snappy much, just wondering why your leaving." He says.

    "It's none of your business." I take my wrist away from him going to my car.

    "When did you turn into such a bitch." He blurts. My heart sank, a tear slipped from my eye. I turned to look at him. His eyes widen some when he sees the tears. "I-" He starts.

     "Wow it's nice to know what you think of me." I murmur.

      "Max I didn't mean it." He says walking closer to me. He goes to wipe my tear away, but I slap him hand away.

      "Don't touch me and I'm pretty sure you did mean it." I open my car door and get in but before I close the door I say "You want to you why I'm so upset and bitchy?" I ask him, he nods softly. "I'm in love with you, so it's not easy for me seeing you making out with another girl." I slam my car door closed. I could tell he was shocked. I start my car, he starts knocking on my window.

      "Max don't leave please." He says, the window muffling him.

       "Just leave me alone Hawk, go back to you girlfriend." I yell so he could hear me. Just as I was about to drive off I see Sam...and Robby. Robby looked over to my car and saw me, Hawk still softly knocking on my window. I just drove away.

       I got to the apartment complex, I parked my car. I was walking to my apartment, when I saw Jas's door open slightly. I slowly walk over to the door and peak my head in. A guy, her ex husband, hand Jas up against the wall with a pocket knife to her throat. I quietly walk in and then kick the guy.

      "What the hell!." He yells. He starts coming at me.

      "Jas! Call the police!" I yell, he reaches me, he tries hitting me but I block and dodge. Then his pocket knife cut my arm not much but there was blood. Then I lost focus, he picked me up and threw me at a wall. He picked me up again and threw me at Jas's glass coffee table, it shattered of course. I screamed out in pain as I felt a big piece of glass go into my left shoulder. I look down at my left arm seeing it wasn't only my shoulder that had glass in it. There were shards of glass all over in my arm. Blood was seeping out of my arm. 'Come on Max, you have to fight back' I thought to myself, getting up.

       I knew it would be hard fighting with only one arm but I could do it. He came at me again, I dodged and then kicked him in the back. He turned to face me, I punched him in the gut and then in the face. I heard sirens, thank goodness. Police come running into the apartment, they arrest the guy. I hid my arm from them not wanting them to take me to a hospital or anything. They left and Jas came running to me.

       "Max, your arm!" She says worriedly, looking at my arms.

        "Jas I'm fine, don't worry. I'm going to go get some help. Lock your door and get some rest if you can." I say getting up and leaving her apartment.
