The Boy I Once Knew | Cobra Kai Hawk/Eli

Chapter 12

As I walk home I can't help but remember everything that happened. Miguel and Tory should have stayed and this would have never happened. God i'm so embarrassed, he didn't say anything. Not one word, He just looked at his hand. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if he would have just said something.

Today I get my second round of chemo, i'm not nervous for it just don't like the feeling after it. I throw a beanie on my head and join my mom in the car. Her leg bouncing up and down and her finger tapping the steering wheel franticly. 

"Mom are you ok?" I turn to look at her. She keeps her eyes on the road not looking back. 

"Honey, I need to tell you something" she says nervously. 

"Okay?" 

"Well you know how I said your fathers in town"

I nod, "Well he isn't actually your father" my eyes go wide and I look straight at her. 

"What do you mean he isn't my father?" 

"Well" she pauses,"  Your father is Johnny Lawerence." she spits out. She has to be joking, right? I mean there is no way he's my father. He would have said something. I try to force words out of my mouth but nothing comes out.

 "When he found out I was pregnant with you, he wanted to be in your life but he wasn't ready to take care of a kid. We were just friends with benefits then and his girlfriend at the time found out she was pregnant that same week. There was no way he could take care of two kids at the same time" She starts to drive away. 

We pull up to the hospital, parking the car and we both just sit there, looking forward. "Wha- what there's no way he's my father. Why tell me now. You let me go through hell and back having to deal with my dad leaving! When he was actually in front of my eyes this whole time!" She looks down at her feet embarrassed. 

"Does he know you're tell me this?" I blurt out. 

"Yes. We've already talked about it and we thought it would be right while he's away." I shake my head, disgusted. Tears start to form in my eyes but I wipe them away immediately.

"So you both just let me go on, living my life without my father." I start to cry," God that's why he lets me stay at his place and he makes sure i'm ok! What the actual fuck mom!" I yell. 

"Honey, i'm so sorr-" she starts.

"No, don't try to apologize when you did this on purpose. God I can't believe the both of you. You both only thought about him, not how I would feel getting older and not having a father figure." We sit there in silence, "I'm going in" I shake my head and hop out of the car. How could they have kept this from me, Johnny literally acts like there's no history or that I could possibly be his daughter. I sign myself in and get taken to my room. Eventually, my mom walks in and sits down. It's completely silent, when the doctor walks in she notices something is happening and calls me to the room.

"I don't even want to ask if you want your mother with you. Is everything ok?" The doc asks. 

"Yea sure. Is there any way I could see my records?" I ask

She nods and shows me the computer. There it is, 

Father: John Lawerence

Mother: Theresa Hill

God, I can't believe this. It's actually real, she wasn't lying. The blond hair, attitude, it all makes sense now. "Can I just get this done and over with" she nods and takes me to my chair. This is going to take 2 hours so I have a ton of time to think and get away from my mom.
