TICKETS TO MY DOWNFALL, cobra kai [completed]

chapter forty nine.

Cigarette Daydreams — Cage The Elephant

  AGAINST THE WISHES OF HER SENSEI'S CYNTHIA waited patiently outside of the room that Miguel was in with the medic. Her heart beat rapidly against her chest as she heard the crack of his back over and over again. This brought her all the way back to when he fell in the school fight, and she hated it, hated how painful it was for her to want him to be okay when he wasn't, and hated that he was hurt.

Watching him get injured again simply brought her back to him being in the hospital.

Cynthia held onto Miguels hand lightly, her eyes closed shut as she hoped and prayed he'd be alright. Never had she cared so much about someone else's health, especially someone outside of her family. She couldn't tell anyone that though, because Carmen had told the nurses and doctors he was family.

"I know you're in there somewhere... and I just wanted you to know that i'm here." Tears clouded the Sari gurls eyes. "I'm always here."

There was no response, just the beeping of his heart monitor sounding off every few moments.

... but, she had to remind herself that after that, he woke up.

"Hey, Miggy." Cyn awkwardly made her way more into the room, placing everything she had gotten him down on the table. "I'm really glad you're okay and—"

"I wanted to say—"

"I'm sorry." Cynthia and him were about to say the same exact thing at the same time, both of them smiling at each other. "You didn't do anything wrong, Mig. Our fight was my fault and instead of just apologizing, I let it come between us. Then this happened, and i'm so sorry."

"I don't really think I could ever stay mad at you, Cynthia." The Diaz boy did his best attempt at a shrug. "We were both being immature, and it happened but we are both okay, right?"

"Right." The Sari girl nodded her head slightly with a smile, tucking her hair behind her ear. "I missed you."

... and he healed.

As she swung it open, Cynthia seen something she would never expect.

There Miguel was, standing on his crutches.

"This isn't real." She spoke, placing her hands over her mouth. "You're standing up, alone!"

"Well, technically with crutches but yeah, i'm standing." The Diaz boy wore the sloppiest grin on his face, and Cynthia threw her arms up, wrapping them around him.

"I'm so happy for you, Miggy. I know how bad you wanted this, and you did it." The Sari girl practically teared up at the sight and backed away from him to get a better look, wiping a tear from her eye.
