The Boy I Once Knew | Cobra Kai Hawk/Eli

Chapter 33

"Well look who we have here," The old man says. My whole body freezes at the sight of this man for the first time since the school fight. I look down at the sight of Hawk letting go of my hand, his lips flat with no expression on his face. Because he knew.

"You said you'd wait till we were done," Hawk says aggressively. Kreese laughs

"We all say a lot of things we don't mean, don't we" He eyes me up and down. Is this the real reason Hawk brought me on this date and why he was so nervous earlier? Am I really just a joke to him. Rickenberger and Tory stand behind Kreese smirking. What does Kreese want from me, it's not like I can fight at his dojo.

"Lillian we're here for you. I want to make you an offer to come back to Cobra Kai. And I hope you'll be smart enough to accept it, unlike your father." Kreese says, "Hawk why don't you come over here" Hawk obeys him and walks behind him. That's it, that's his weakness. It's not him, not his old self, not me but Kreese. He'll do anything he says to be on his good side. I'll always be the second choice. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong about having a close relationship with your Sensei but when they come first over everything in your life, that's when it becomes a problem.

I don't bother to look at Hawk because I know that since he's here with them, it won't do anything. No tears in my eyes, no hatred for him because I knew this day would come.

I scoff, "You must be stupid if you ever think I'll do that. So why don't you go back to your dojo and take your little minions with you."

"Got that attitude just like your father. I've missed that. "He smirks, " You don't need to fight for us but you were an important part of this dojo and we would like you to come back. We only want what's best for you. " He points at Hawk, " He only wants what's best for you".

"I've told you once and I'll tell you again, no. I hope you all have a bad night." I turn and walk away but I pause and look back at Hawk, "Also Hawk, don't call me, come to my house, or anything" I wanted to say so badly that we were done but I know that in a few days he'll make up some lame excuse on why I should stay with him. But this time that isn't happening. I never would have thought my boyfriend would listen to his Sensei on how to run his relationship or matter of fact pick his Sensei over his girlfriend.

I walk back to Hawk's car and throw his sweatshirt in there and grab my phone to call someone to pick me up. I call Johnny four times and he doesn't answer anything, it all goes to his voice mail.

"Damnit Johnny" I mumble to myself. My moms working late tonight so she isn't an option, Hawk obviously isn't an option, and the last person I could call it my last option. I severely don't want to call him but it's an hour walk home and I really don't want to do that. I guess I really don't have a choice but to call him.

The phone rings once and he picks up right away.

"Lillian! Wasn't expecting a call from you" Cameron says.

I laugh, "Yea, sorry but is there any way you could pick me up right now? I'm stuck at the beach with no way home"

He pauses, "You sure your boyfriend would be ok with that?"

"Probably not but he doesn't make my decisions," I say

"Yea, be right there." He finishes and hangs up the phone. I sit on the stairs of the boardwalk with my legs against my chest and my face in my hands. God, how could I be so stupid? I fell for his game, he probably only stuck out with dating me for Kreese. Kreese probably ordered him to so he would get me and Johnny back in the dojo. I mean who would fall for the sick girl right? A hand creeps up on my shoulder slowly, "Lillian" they say. A mohawk appears on the side of me. I ignore him and look forward.

"Answer me!" He demands. This is the thing, he's angry now and he'll become even angrier that now he isn't getting what he wants.

"Cobra Kai is your home. I was only doing what's right." I stand up and face him with my arms crossed.

"Was I just a game to you? Is this why you took me out tonight?" I ask. He nods. I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.

"We're finished. For good" A car pulls up in front of us. Cameron in the front seat, rolling down his window.

"And this was your plan? To just cheat on me with him?" Hawk says angrily.

"I'm not cheating on you. Never did and never would have. I needed a ride home because my boyfriend's sorry ex-boyfriend chose his Sensei over me." I say softly. "And going back to earlier, Eli wasn't a loser, but you are now. You lost all the good things that have ever happened to you, Demetri, Johnny, even Moon, and now me." I walk away, opening Cameron's car door.

"If you get in that car, we're done!" He yells.

"Good thing I already finished it," I climb into the car.
