Miraleigh Jeanie Johnson is a teen girl who has lived in San Fernando Valley all her life. She has no friends, she doesn't have the best home life and she can't stand up for herself. It's something she wants to be able to do, on her journey she runs...
Robby kissed the top of her head, he could see the tear stains on her cheeks and the tired look she had in her eyes. Her nose was a little red and he could see that her face was relaxed and not trying to hold in any emotions. Miraleigh clutched onto his shirt, resting her head on his shoulder and smiled as he gently swayed the girl. Miraleigh laid back down, resting her head in Robby's lap. He ran his hands through her hair, waiting for the moment when he thinks that she's ready.
"You wanna talk about it?" He softly questioned, Miraleigh nodded and sat up, crossing her legs and started fiddling with her hands.
"I had my first panic attack for the first time in a long time. It's a scary feeling, I hate it and I've buried so many demons without dealing with them."
"Well, I want you to know, I'm very proud of you. You're doing great, you've been getting through all of this and have been able to get by. We'll start those routines again, just so you don't have to go through one again. If you're feeling overwhelmed, let me know and I'll help. Promise." A tiny smile tugged at her lips, she nodded and was grateful Robby cared and knew how to help.
"Hawk said things about you and me, said things that I know aren't true but he said other things that got to my head."
"Like what, sweetheart?" His voice filled with tenderness, Robby took her hands into his, then gave her a reassuring smile to ease her into continuing. He could see her mentally counting, taking inhales and exhales as she did so. He waited patiently, waiting to see the sign that she was ready to talk.
"That one day, you won't need me, that I won't be your safe haven and I won't be of any use to you and you'll leave me. He pretty much called me an object." The girl whispered, feeling shaky and uncomfortable. Robby dragged her up, walked her to the kitchen, then turned on the tap made sure it was cold and placed her wrists under the cold running. Miraleigh looked at Robby, a sad grateful smile playing on her lips, he nodded knowing she was saying 'thanks.' If she was feeling panicky, the girl would place her wrists under cold running water, it helped her for whatever reason.
"I'll always need you in my life, you're the joy I have, you make me so happy and he's a frickin ass for saying that to you. He's an ass for hurting you, what else did he say?"
"He played the cheating card, saying that you cheated on me with Kaylee when you first went to Cobra Kai. Which I know is bullshit, so I don't care about that, he also told me you're just keeping me around until you 'bang,' that a guy like you wouldn't be with someone as butt ugly as I am. I'm the girl guys only date until they have sex and then the guy will then dump. I'm nothing in this world and I never will be and he referred to me as a wannabe bitch, but that one doesn't matter."
Robby could see she wasn't shaking anymore, so he turned off the water and held her into his chest. Holding the back of her head in his hand, he gently caressed the back of her head, running his thumb up and down. He tried to control his anger, it hurt seeing Miraleigh like this, hurt knowing he couldn't be there when she needed him the most.
"He's wrong, don't listen to anything he says, trust me it's all bullshit. Sweetheart, you're beautiful, I am not dating you just to sleep with you and then leave you. I love the relationship that we have and I love who you are. You are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and I don't plan on ever letting you go. Sweetheart, you mean everything to me and I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most."
"It's okay, Robby, you're here now and that's all that matters." She whispered, looking at him, smiling as he swiped away her tears with the pads of his thumbs Miraleigh placed her hands on his wrists as he softly held her face in his hands.
"And I swear to you, that I won't let that man take you away." Miraleigh sniffled, nodded and pecked his lips, he gave the girl a gentle grin and then kissed her lips.
"Thank you, Robby, I love you." She whispered, tracing the features on his face, Robby gave a gentle grin, closing his eyes as her touch was gentle and caring. Miraleigh looked at the time, resting her head on Robby's chest as his arms snaked around her waist.
"Sweetheart, I love you too, you mean so much to me and I'm sorry that it hasn't been a great day."
"It's okay, I have you with me, so I'm good." He smiled at the girl, nodding and kissed her cheek. Miraleigh walked away, had a shower and then got dressed. Robby walked over to her as she was getting her shoes on, gave the girl a gentle smile and pulled her up once she was done.
"Ready?" He asked, she gave a smile and then nodded. Robby looked at the bruise on her arm, his anger coming back, Miraleigh placed a hand on his face so he'd look in her eyes. His look softened as he stared at her, her smile relaxing him and the anger slowly dying down.
"I promise you, that I am okay. I just need a cry and to vent." He nodded, kissed her forehead, grabbed her jacket off the bed and placed it on for her.

"Got everything that you need?" Robby questioned, she nodded, kissed his cheek and then took his hand.
"Yep, let's go, love." Miraleigh grinned, looking at their hands as Robby gave her hand a gentle squeeze. They had gotten to the place where the movie was being held, they managed to get have four people in the car without the struggle of not being able to see. Robby and Miraleigh sat in the front, while Tory and Oliver sat in the back. It was Oliver's birth dad's car, he just let him borrow it and Oliver was kind enough to sit in the back while Miraleigh and Robby sat in the front. Miraleigh noticed the look Tory had, so she decided to be polite.
"Are you okay?" The girl questioned, turning her body so she was looking at the girl. Tory snapped out of her daze and shrugged, Robby also turned around facing the two in the back.
"Yeah, I just had a shit day at work," Tory informed. An uneasy look on her face.
"Well, we'd ask, but it's not our business, right?" Oliver had a playful smirk, which turned into a smile as Tory smiled. Miraleigh sat back normally as Kyler started ordering Kenny around, she shook her head in distaste and glanced at Robby as he hopped out. Miraleigh hopped out, grabbed some money from her wallet and then smiled at the two boys. Robby wrapped an arm around her waist, brought her into his chest and kissed the side of her head.
"Come on, I'll help." She informed with a bright smile, Robby grinned at her, let go of her and watched as the two walked off.
"What did Robby have to do, to show he was a part of Cobra Kai?" Kenny asked as they walked to the stand, Miraleigh glanced down at him and sighed.
"He stole a Cobra from the zoo, I wasn't there so I can't go into full detail." Kenny nodded, asked for everything Kyler and his friends wanted and the Butterfinger Robby asked for. Miraleigh chipped in with the money, paying for most of it and then halved the amount they had to carry. But it was still a lot and awkward for the two to carry.
Miraleigh glanced up seeing Nate and Bert talking about a girl. She rolled her eyes in disgust, feeling icky the more she heard.
"So Lexi wants me to send pictures now."
"Dude, I think you're being catfished."
"That's a risk I'm willing to take."
"Not these guys." Miraleigh heard Kenny mumble.
"Hey, we'll just go the long way, nothing to worry about," Miraleigh reassured, giving a caring look. They both went to turn around but Kenny bumped into Hawk, causing him to drop all the things and the two other boys walked up behind Miraleigh tugged on her hair and jacket, yanking her back and causing her to drop everything.
