A Heart of Gold- Hawk/Eli (Cobra Kai)

Chapter 13- Quality time

I made my way home, and walked through the lobby and up the stairs. When I get to my door, I pull out my key's jiggle them into the lock, and unlock my door. I open the door to find the coffee pot thrown in the sink, a cereal bowl with water just sitting on the coffee table, and no Robby in sight. I grabbed the trash that was on the coffee table, and went to throw it away when I saw my note in the trash. I got so mad, I can't believe he just disregarded my note like that. I started to cry, I feel as though my big brother doesn't care about me, I looked at the time. It was 4:45, even though I was upset, I still held out hope that he would show up. I felt tears streaming down my face, I sat down on the couch. I sat back and brought my knees to my chest. I held my head down, and just let all of my emotions out. I have a bad habit of bottling my feeling's up until they explode. I thought about my mom, who I haven't seen in years, my dad who was an alcoholic, my older brother who was spiraling out of control, I even thought about Kyler and what he did in the library today. I tried to control my breathing, I started to hyperventilate, I went to the bathroom, grabbed a tissue, and started to breath. Once I calmed down, I went to the living room, I looked at the time it was 5:30, he wasn't coming, if I know anything about Robby I know he is punctual. Well at least when he wants to be. I went into my room and grabbed a blanket to cuddle up to when I was watching tv. I laid down on the couch, I pulled out my crappy computer and put on Netflix I put on a comedy hoping it would help, it did for a little while, until it ended now it was 6:45 he wasn't coming. I was looking for another movie to watch when I got a facetime call from Eli. I knew I looked like a mess, my eyes were probably red and puffy, I probably had crazy hair. I didn't care, I answered the phone, and I saw Eli's face fall from a smile to a frown.

"What's wrong princess?" He was laying down and sat up.

"Nothing, just family drama." I said trying to brush it off.

"Did you talk with Robby?" He asked.

"No, that's the problem." I said, "but it's fine, what up? Why did you call?"

"It's not fine, you're crying." He said.

"I'm not anymore, it's fine, let's just change the subject." I said.

"I was calling to let you know that I got a new Funko Pop." He said, it made me smile, it's so cute.

"Really tell me about them." I said, he started to talk about how this Spiderman one, wasn't the one in the MCU or something, and how long he had been trying to get it. I just smiled, I watched him studying the way he talked, he had a great smile, and I loved how he was laughing. We talked for a while, about random stuff, I hadn't even realized that he had been walking until he was in a store.

"Wait, are you at the store?" I asked him.

"Oh yeah my, uh mom asked me to get her uh somethin." He said stuttering. I assumed it was because he was in public and was nervous. He checked out, and started to walk again.

"I can't wait for your dad to let us practice,'' he stated.

"Yeah, I'm glad he wants to help us." I stated.

"Yeah, maybe next time Kyler tries something I can kick his ass." Eli stated.

"You don't need to, I don't want you getting hurt." I told him.

"Me? I'm more worried about you!" He stated, just then I heard a knock.

"Give me a second someone is at my door." I said I set the phone down on the table, and went to open the door. I had the bolt chain thing that opened the door like 2 inches before stopping it. I saw a beautiful man standing there.

"What the hell!" I exclaimed, I shut the door, undid the stopper, and opened it fully, there stood Eli.

"I thought you had to get home to give your mom -" I started before I noticed everything in his hands.
