"Everybody wants to rule the world."

| Forgiveness |

After what happened last night Johnny drove me home after dropping Bobby off at golf m' stuff to get his bike. I still don't know a clue how I'm going to tell Daniel everything.. I have to see him again for more karate practice today. Or should I say chores- I don't understand how we're learning anything from washing and waxing damn vehicles?

Today was a scorching hot day as the sun beamed over California. I was currently skateboarding all the way to Mr. Myiagi's for our next lesson, maybe I should have taken the bus I feel like I've sweat 10 pounds, and my legs feel weaker then a piece of paper.

I eventually arrived walking towards the entrance of his.. I'm guessing backyard which I have not quite frankly been in before. I walked in to see probably the most beautiful landscaping ever. I looked around my surroundings to see a clear pond with multiple fish swimming around as a water found poured over it. There was so much greenery I could stand here for hours and admire the beauty of it all.

"Hey Mr. Myiagi!" I said with a big smile on my face walking towards him as he sat on his knees sanding a newly installed deck.

"Y/n." He said nodding.

"Hey, is a, is Daniel here yet?" I ask looking around nervous.

"Not yet. You and Daniel-san aren't happy with each other right now." He said making me gasp.

"How? How did you know that??" I said in shock.

"Just know." He said continuing what he was doing as I sat down on the deck sighing.

"I don't know what to do, I really messed up. I'm sure it would not be the greatest feeling to find out your best friend is running around with your bully." I said rubbing my forehead.

"Talk to Daniel-san, if it make you happy, he will understand." He said looking up at me sending me a soft smile before going back to sanding the deck.

"Thanks Mr. Myiagi." I say relieved.

"Of course." He said nodding as I heard the gate to the fence open.

"Wow, This is beautiful.." I heard which I assumed was Daniel.

"Hey, Mr. Myiagi! This is great man! You've got real fish in there?" He said walking towards us well looking around some more. He then proceeded to look at me and look away as if I was never there, ouch.

"What are these bongos? Hey I got, I got it." He said picking these sanding looking things up and smacking them together well singing.

"You much Humor." Mr. Myiagi said.

"What are they?" Daniel asked confused.

"Funny you should ask,right to circle, left to circle." He said directing daniels hands on the deck with the sander i guess making Daniel finally realize what they were.

"Would it not be easier to just go back it fourth." Daniel said doing so making an awful sound as it rubbed against the wood.

"No, no, but you go circle. right to circle, left to circle." He said picking up another pair and handing it to me leading my hands like he did Daniels.

"Right to circle, left to circle" he said getting up and walking away. "Breath in, breath out."  This sounds familiar? not this again-

He then repeated himself again walking away, telling us we needed to do the whole floor. After about an hour spent in awkward silence and heavy breathing I finally said something.

"I'm sorry Daniel." I said making him scoff.

"Are you though?" He asked annoyed.

"Of course I am!" I said stopping what I was doing to look at him.

"Well, if your so sorry you simply wouldn't have done what you did in the first place." He said rolling his eyes.

"You want me to be happy right?" I ask.

"Yes.." he responded confused on how that related to the conversation at all.

"Well then, you should understand what I'm trying to say. I tried to avoid Johnny alright? But there was just something about him that drawn me towards him. Same with the cobras. I've became very close with Bobby and he's almost like a brother to me. I swear I have been trying my best to keep them in check, but I can't fix everything. And they are what makes me happy." I said as Daniel looked at me wide eyed.

"I- I'm sorry Y/n.. I'm not going to say I support this, but if it makes you happy then it's alright." He said with a soft smile.

"Thank you! Thank you!" I shouted standing up and walking to Daniel giving him a big hug as he returned the gesture.

"Alright we got to get back to work we're only half way done-" he said with his hands on my shoulders.

After a few more hours of sanding and laughing, we finally finished at the last area in front of the door as Mr. Myiagi walked out.

"Very good, splinter all gone." He said proud.

"Yeah." Me and Daniel said in sync panting as we both got up in pain.

"We're finished." I said feeling like I was about to claps.

"Mr. Myiagi, we're beat man.." Daniel said still having a smile on his face, I- how?

"Good. Go home. Get rest. Come morning. Start early. 6:00." Mr. Myiagi said as we begin walking away as Daniel stopped at the gate in thought.

"You coming?" I asked him knocking him out of his train of thought.

"Uh, yeah." He said walking with me.

I finally arrived home to see a familiar red convertible parked outside. I entered my apartment to see Johnny sitting on the couch watching tv wearing grey sweats and a t-shirt, wow something other then his Gi or leather jacket and jeans.

"How did you get in here?" I gasped not expecting to see him here.

"Your mom let me in before leaving for her Night Shift." He said turning to look at me with shock.

"What the hell happened to you?" He asked me worried.

"Don't worry about it, I have to go shower. I'll be right back." I said smiling and then heading towards the bathroom.

After a nice hot shower my muscles finally felt some what relaxed, I put on a pair of comfy Pyjama pants and a tank top heading back to where Johnny was, only to see him not there and the tv shut off. Where had that boy gone. I then walked into my room to see him laying on my bed with his eyes closed. I slowly pulled the covers back getting under the soft blankets trying not to disturb his sound sleep. But his blue eyes fluttered open looking towards me.

"Sorry to wake you." I said moving one of his blonde locks of hair out of his face.

"It's okay, I should probably get going, I just wanted to check up on you." He said beginning to get up as I put my hand on his chest blocking him from moving up anymore farther.

"Why don't you stay the night, I mean it's already late and you look exhausted." I said as he sank back into the bed with a smirk.

"But no funny business." I said rolling my eyes.

"Fine, Fine." He said getting underneath the covers.

"Come here." He said opening his arms for me as I laid in them with my head on his firm chest. This is the first time we cuddled. The thought of it made my cheeks heat up.

"Goodnight princess." He said placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Goodnight." I mumbled into his chest as sleep took over me from the long day.
