The Karate Code ~Robby Keene~

Remember

Robby and Miraleigh stood outside her old home, no one had moved in since she lived there, it had police tape surrounding it for a while but it was taken down. She grabbed the key that she hid and grabbed Robby's hand. The two walked in with each other, the girl glanced around the room and sighed that it was exactly the same, the shitty furniture was in the same place, and water stains stayed on the walls and the ceiling. Robby watched the girl carefully as she stood in the open space to glance at the room. 

Miraleigh smiled at Robby, following her to her old bedroom, he hated seeing this place it clearly hadn't been shown any love and Miraleigh clearly didn't have a nice childhood, her room had no personality, nothing to show that this is where she lived and nothing that could make her feel comfortable. Robby could see the visible pain on her face, she was clearly remembering stuff that made her hurt. 

"I hated this place, I hid in my room so much, I didn't want him to see me and I didn't want to get in trouble because I didn't do the right thing. He broke the lock off so many times, he wouldn't be around and left me with nothing, no food and wouldn't leave any money, so I needed to start getting a job but that was hard for a while." Miraleigh explained, Robby grabbed her hand and hummed gently. 

"You're safe now, I won't let him get you again." 

"You're my guardian angel, you know that right? You saved me from him when you called the cops, I was so confused at first and when I realised that you helped honestly it was great and I knew that I had someone who cared." Miraleigh kissed his hand, then took him out of the room as it became too much to handle and she did what she needed to do. 

Robby sat with Miraleigh in their room, Willow had curled up with them on the bed and Robby laid down with the girl, bringing her to his chest and letting her talk about her worries with him. Miraleigh smiled as Robby littered her face with kisses. It brought her comfort and the girl was the girl grinned as Robby brought her in for a hug and cradled her in his arms. 

Miraleigh felt Robby caress her stomach scar, it was his thing now, knowing how insecure it made her feel made him want to show her it was something that she should feel good about and not something that made her want to hide her body. It was like when she'd trace the scar on his forehead, it was her thing and now this is his. 

Robby stopped cuddling the girl, she looked at him all worried for a moment but he gently pushed her onto her stomach and gently asked her to raise her shirt. Miraleigh did as he asked, then melted into the mattress as Robby started massaging her back. He's always trying to improve on helping her through her period and he read that massages help.

Miraleigh pulled her shirt down as Robby pulled her up, he cradled her in his arms, grabbed the heat pack and placed it on her stomach. The girl fiddled with the stuffed toy, and Robby pulled her in between his legs and wrapped his arms around her stomach, giving a couple of gentle massages to her stomach. 

Robby then moved his hands to her hair, brushing the knots out and then made to be gentle as he plaited her hair. The girl laid back against his chest, resting her head on his shoulder and humming in serenity as Robby embraced her soothingly. Robby grabbed the toy husky and moved it up her stomach and booped her nose with the toy nose and chuckled as she giggled trying to push his hand away but he kept booping her with the toy. 

The next day, Miraleigh and Robby went down to Olive Garden, the girl had never been to the restaurant before so she wasn't exactly sure of what to expect. Robby looked at the menu with Miraleigh, discussing what she wanted to have with her. The two glanced up, Robby scoffed seeing Miguel and Miraleigh looking away from the boy. 

"Let me guess, he asked you to lunch too?" 

"Yep." 

"And he didn't tell you I was coming?" 

"Nope." Robby pulled Miraleigh up, grabbed her bag for her and stopped in his tracks seeing Johnny. 

"Hey, hey. Where are you going? Sit down, hear me out." They all sat down, Robby held Miraleigh's hand, running his thumb over her finger as a distraction for the both of them. 

"Alright, yeah, I lied to get you here. After what I saw at the water park, I knew you wouldn't come willingly. I know the two of you are in bitchy moods because you said shit about Miraleigh and he did that to your girl. Then there are your own little spats. Now, since the Mexico thing felt like a small step in the right direction, I figured it might help if we went on another trip." 

"A trip? To a mall in Chatsworth?" Miraleigh squeezed Robby's hand telling him to ease off a bit. A waiter came down, trying to sell his food, yet while it did sound yummy the two teens glared at him in irritation. Seeing as it wasn't a good time the waiter went to get breadsticks. 

"It's not his effort I'm pissed about." 

"Breadsticks aren't gonna fix this." 

"Spoken as a man who has never had The Garden's breadsticks, one bite of those and you'll forget why you were mad at each other to start with." 

"I'm never gonna forget that." 

"Neither am I." The teens left, Robby held her hand, smiling as she hugged him, doing her best to comfort him right now. 

"We'll get lunch somewhere else, yeah?" Miraleigh nodded, kissed Robby's lips and raised their hands. 

"We'll get there eventually, it's gonna work out and we're gonna be fine. I can see it." The girl giggled as Robby picked her up, his fannel covered her arms slightly and Robby then kissed her lips and carefully placed her down as they went to get to their lunch.
