"don't leave me loving you"

Elena was a lost in a daze as she stood at the front of the dojo, doing her punches and kicks for warm up. It was Jae's last day and since their talk, they'd practically been attached at the hip.

She wasn't ready for another goodbye, she wasn't ready to see him go. Her mind wandered to the night that she had told him everything. Every small detail of her life she confessed to him.

And he listened, taking in every word she said, watching the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. He just held her close in his arms. She remembered waking up the next morning to breakfast in bed.

She remembered him driving her home, him kissing her goodbye. She'd never been so vulnerable and had never felt as loved as she did that day. And now he was leaving.

The door to the dojo jingled, Elena's head snapped to the door, with tensions being at an all time high, she'd expect a Miyagi-Do to come in and give a little rant.

But instead, her eyes found Kenny Payne, Kreese had taken notice to her stopping and staring at the boy, who watched them nervously. "Can I help you?" Kreese asked with his arms crossed.

Elena had completely stopped the motions but Robby didn't make a comment as he lead the group. "I-I'm looking for Robby Keene." He spoke nervously, a slight stutter in his voice.

"Mr. Keene, you have a visitor." Robby stopped, looking at Kreese then Kenny as Elena stepped through. Kenny's visibly relaxed seeing her there. "You know this kid?" Tory asked as Adina leaned her arm on Tory.

Robby shook his head, "I-I-I'm Kenny. My brother, Shawn Payne, said you can help me." Elena looked at Adina, "He's the kid, I told you about."

Adina hummed, Elena had told Adina all about the boy who was being bullied by a Larusso of all people. "I didn't know Shawn had a brother. Is he out?"

Robby asked as he stood beside Elena, "No that's why I'm here. These a-holes keep hassling me. One of them knows karate, so-."

"This is a dojo. You are interrupting my class." Kreese interrupted Kenny, who visibly stuttered as he looked at Kreese with wide eyes. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."

"Sensei." Robby and Elena called at the same time, looking at each other confused before Robby continued, "Shawn Payne was one of the toughest guys in juvie. Kicked my eyes a couple of time."

"You know, in the real world, we have to fight our own battles. Cobra Kia can teach you how. But you have to prove that you're worthy." Elena winced, she'd seen Kenny get beat up by 4 children.
