3.3 Queen

*Hawk's POV*

Cassie disappeared behind the door, leaving me and Miguel outside. He grabs me by my shirt with both hands holding me in front of him. I quickly shove them out of the way.

"Why the hell would you tell her that?" He hissed through his teeth. "Just stay away from her. Got it?" I say scowling at him. "No, I'm not gonna just leave her like you did." He spits at me.

I ball my fist as glare at him once more before walking back to my bike. I wasn't in the mood for a fight.

I sped home with Cassie clouding my mind. I upset her again like I always do. Tonight, I was scared. Scared she was gonna dump me again. Truth is, I need her. She makes me feel like the entire world hasn't quit on me. I know that's not exactly healthy, but I could care less.

I pull up to my house and park my bike in the garage. I walk inside to find my mom cleaning dishes. I told her I was eating out tonight, so she must have cooked for herself. She notices me walk in and smiles.

"Hey, sweetie. How was training?" She asked drying her hands. "It was fine." I respond and she nods. "So, why are you home so late?" She asks as I grab a soda from the fridge.

"I went to go see Cassie." I say sitting at the kitchen island. She smiled wider. She always loved Cassie and who could blame her, what wasn't to love? "Oh, how is she doing?" She asked.

"Not sure, we kinda got into a fight and I didn't get around to asking her." I said looking at the soda can. Mom sighs. "What about?"

I shrug. "I saw her talking with Miguel and...I don't know. He still has feelings for her and I was afraid that, since they were spending so much time together, she was starting to feel the same." I say fiddling my fingers.

"Hun, it's ok to be a little jealous, but you can't be mad at her. What did you expect? You haven't been hanging out with her and she wasn't gonna just sit alone waiting for you to come round. She has other friends." Mom explains and I nod knowing she was right.

I wasn't mad at Cassie, I never was. I was mad at myself. I should've been spending more time with her.

"You should get to bed, it's late." Mom says and I nod. I walk over and kiss her cheek before walking upstairs and going to bed.

*Cassie's POV*

I groan in pain as I faceplant into the floor again. I don't even have time to recover before dad pulls me up again. I sigh. I didn't even want to do this anymore.

"Come on. You're not even trying." Dad says as he holds me up as I hang my head down. "Your exes are a bunch of dicks, so what? Big deal." He says. Hawk wasn't my ex, but dad must've just forgotten. "Big deal?" I scoff. "We literally spent all day doing bullshit for your ex." I spit.

"Done with your little hissy fit or are you just giving up?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "No, you are." I say under my breath. "What'd you say?" He asks.

"I said you're the one giving up!" I raise my voice at him and he narrows his eyes at me, obviously not a fan of my attitude. "I don't know who-" 

"QUIET!" I cut him off and he's taken back by my sudden outburst. I was tired of being silent.

"You let Kreese take your dojo. You let Hawk and everyone else think you're weak." I shout at him in hopes he'd wake up. "Because it was a mistake to begin with." He says pointing a stern finger in my face. "I never should have brought Cobra Kai back, look what happened." He said motioning to my legs.

"What happened was you got your life together. You became a father figure to Miguel. You gave the weakest kid in school confidence. You helped so many people but you walked away like a pussy." I spit at him. He stepped back and I continued.
