Ophelia~Hawk/Eli Moskowitz

~Introduction~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ophelia awoke to the sun poking through her shabby window, turning the opposite direction towards the shade. Rubbing her eyes and moving her blonde hair out of her face, she had fully woken up. She tossed her floral blanket to the other side of the bed.

She got up to step out of her room but before she turned the knob, the smell of alcohol hit her nose. "Not again," she thought to herself. Her father Jonny Lawrence was drunk, just like any other day. She walked towards the green sofa, she took one look at her dad and already knew he had a long night. There were beers all over the rusty coffee table, she decided to clean up before waking him.

After she cleaned up his mess, she walked back to the sofa. "Dad," she said softly, no response. "Dad wake up," she said only a tad bit louder while shaking him. "What" he managed to grumble out.

"Wake up, we need to go shopping for groceries and school supplies today remember?" she said while walking to the fridge, she grabbed water along with some aspirin. She walked back to where her father was sitting and handed him the aspirin.

"Thank you," he said before taking the medicine.

"Yup" Ophelia was beyond annoyed, but she chose to keep that to herself.

"Look, kid, I need to tell you something, you're probably gonna get mad" he takes a deep breath.
"I opened a dojo last week, I'm going to be teaching karate from now on"

She stood there with a confused look on her face. "Dad you haven't done karate for years, and a dojo? You can't be serious we barely have enough money for rent, let alone a dojo." running her hand through her hair, she took a seat next to him on the sofa.

" The dojo will make money once we get more students, our neighbor Miguel got beat up the other day, I'm going to train him to protect himself, and I would love it if you joined too" she glared at her father, He looked back and gave her a small smile before getting up and grabbing his car keys.

"Where are you going? And I'll go to your dojo but only because Miguel is my only friend at the moment. I haven't heard from Moon or Yasmine since my breakup with Kyler." she leaned back into the sofa, that's the first time she mentioned her breakup with Kyler since her talk with Miguel. Even thinking about it hurts.

" I don't know why you hang out with those prissy bitches" her father exclaimed. Making her hold back a laugh.

"DAD" she started laughing, sending him a playful glare before saying
"When is the next time you're going to the dojo?" crossing her arms waiting for an answer.

"Today and ill be back in an hour to pick you up for your first lesson. I'm going to the grocery store and after your lesson, we can get your school supplies, sound like a plan?" he raised an eyebrow waiting for a response.

"Yea I guess that sounds okay, umm can you get me some takis please" sending him her sweetest smile.

"I guess that's alright" he murmured before walking out the door. As soon as the door shut, she got up from the sofa and started to get ready for her first lesson. She was anxious, she didn't know what to expect.

She thought back to her conversation with her dad. She mentioned Kyler her ex-boyfriend that she dated for 8 months. They only broke up two months ago, she slowly getting over it, well she's trying to at least.

Flashback.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a sunny Saturday morning, the day started great. Yasmine invited her to a beach party. Ophelia was getting ready. She was running 30 minutes late already. Her make-up was done, She was wearing a black one-piece and dark denim shorts with sandals. She was about to head out the door when Moon called her.
