SITTING IN THE BOOTH as we eat, I sit next to Jack a bit squished in due to Milton also sitting on this side.
As we all keep talking I see Kim walking towards our table, "hey Jack oh and hi Vi!" She says, her tone sounding happier when she spots me.
"Hi Kim!" I respond as I let out a giggle, she was so sweet. "Hellloo Kimmmm," the boys say, dragging her name out making me playfully roll my eyes.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" She asks him, but no one gets the hint as they all ask her what's up. "Guys can you give me a sec, Vamoose!" he says but nothing happens. "Guys I think we should-," Jack cuts me off, "That means go!" He exclaims, making me giggle and out of the corner of my eye I see him looking at me with a grin making my face heat up.
Maybe I really do have a fever and I begin to panic internally.
Milton and Eddie groan with small pouts as Jerry just starts talking in Spanish. I let out a sigh followed by a quick laugh as I followed them, "it was nice seeing you again Kim!" I say before walking out the door.
"Hey guys sorry I'm late!" Jack apologizes as he walks in, I look up from my sketchbook to see him holding a bow staff.
"Sorry doesn't cut it Jack...wait, where'd you get that astronaut bow staff?" Rudy suddenly asks. "It was a gift from the black dragons! See we can all use it," Jack says before showing it off.
"Oh no..." I mutter to myself.
"Ahh no! No students from this dojo are forbidden from even entering the black dragon!" Rudy exclaims.
"He's gonna say something he'll regret," I sigh as I turn to watch the argument.
"What?! You can't forbid me from doing anything!" Jack says, he sounds annoyed and upset, without realizing my heart rate starts to pick up.
"How could you betray me like this! If it wasn't for me you would've been banned for two weeks from the mall!" Rudy exclaims, "banned from the mall? You said I was going to juvie," Jack says now sounding a bit angry.
Rudy makes a face as he realizes he's fucked up, "you know I say a lot of things, I'm what they call chatty," Rudy says awkwardly as he got caught in his lie.
"You lied to me! You broke the Wasabi code!" Jack says, his anger was gone, he just sounded hurt.
"Whaaaaa," Rudy says as he mumbles some gibberish afterwards, "Kim was right, this place is a joke! I'm out of here!" He exclaims before storming out.
I finally noticed my heart rate slowly going faster and faster, "fuck..." I mutter as I start to breathe faster.
"Christmas nuts! Rudy!" Milton yells as he notices my actions, he runs back from the front hurrying toward us and spots me.
Before anyone could do anything I backed out.
3rd Pov
At the dojo the others were packing up their things, getting ready to leave the dojo forever.
Suddenly Jack walks in, Rudy looks up to him surprised, "Jack your back!?"
"I'm just here to get my stuff, what's going on here?" Jack asks as he watches them pack things up.
"We're closing, no Jack, no Vi, no belts, no dojo," Jerry says, his tone sounding annoyed but he was truly just upset to have to leave the dojo.
"Wait where's Vi?" Jack asks, his voice sounding confused yet worried. Everyone looks at the floor sadly, remembering what was moments ago,"She's at the hospital, our argument earlier triggered her and her heart rate got too fast she ended up fainting," Rudy exclaims.
Jack was about to run out the door but he's stopped by a man who was storming in. "Milton David Krupnick, so this is your French horn lesson huh?" Milton's dad asks sarcastically.
"Dad I'm sorry, I was taking karate lessons because kids kept beating me up for taking French horn lessons, I felt bad letting Vivian fight for me all the time!" Milton exclaims in hopes his father would understand.
"Let's go Milton, you're lucky you didn't hurt yourself!" Milton's father says. Milton sighs in defeat, "it's closing anyways...this is the only place I felt I really belonged," he sighs, "I'll let my bully know I'm available."
"Now my moms gonna send me back to Miss Kings Dance academy, my body was not made to mambo!" Eddie exclaims.
"Guess I'm a lone wolf again, just how I like it. Don't think for a second I'm gonna miss any of you meat bags!" Jerry sniffles, trying to act tough but his sad tone was obvious and not well hidden.
"See you around guys..." Milton says as he waved to his friends before following his dad out. But before he can leave Jack is quick to stop him.
"Milton! Hang on,"Jack calls out, making him and his father stop to look at him, he goes silent for a bit as he looks for a plan, "how about you show your dad how you break a board," Jack says with a grin.
"I can barely cut a well cooked piece of fish!" Milton argues back, "just believe in yourself and do it!" Jack encourages.
"I can't, when I was born my parents thought that they had given birth to a baby bird, I mean-," Jack is quick to cut him off, "do it Krupnick!"
"Ahhhh!" Milton yells, breaking the board as he hits it, people surround him in awe. "That ain't no baby bird right there nah ah!" Marge exclaims.
"That was unbelievable Jack! These guys are your friends, they didn't break the wasabi code I did," Rudy admits. Jack sighs knowing he has to admit something to, "I broke it to, you don't walk away from your friends when they need you."
"Wasabi?" Rudy says, "wasabi!" Jack exclaims as everyone cheers. But as they go to cheer with Jack and give him a high five, they see he's gone.
Vivian's pov
I draw in my sketchbook, thinking of all different types of outfit ideas to draw as I wait for them to discharge me.
As I draw I hear the doors open, I look up to see Jack. "Jack? What are you doing here?" I ask him, confused.
"I'm sorry for everything, I didn't mean to argue in front of you, if I had known I would've-," I cut him off with my laughter, "Jack don't worry, I'm not dying, so don't feel bad," I say in order reassure his rambling.
He lets out a sigh of relief, "you doing ok?" He asks as he takes a seat in the chair next to the bed.
"Mhm, it happens kinda often, anything that triggers me or sometimes random, I'm only allowed to do karate since they believe it may help with controlling my heart rate," I explain.
"Is that why Rudy isn't letting you do the competition for the belts?" Jack asks, it wasn't till now that I realized that he was holding my hand, my face once again heats up and this time he notices.
"Do you have a fever? Should I call the doctor?!" He asks in a panic, his worry making me chuckle, "don't worry I'm just hot," I say and he grins, "I won't argue with that," he says, it takes me a second to process before my face turns even more red making me hit his shoulder.
"Shut up," I mutter as I look away, unaware that he was well aware why my face was so red, and he loved it.
