Queen of The Valley • Robby Keene

Chapter 21

                       {season 2 episode 10}

The next morning Sylvia decided to go to sensei's apartment. She knocked a few times. "Hey sensei are you home?" She asked. Sensei opened the door. "Hey what's up?" He asked. "I need to tell you about last night and I wanted to ask you if-" Sylvia says, slithering past Johnny but stopped talking when she saw Robby standing in the kitchen.

"Robby" she muttered looking back at sensei. Sylvia heard knocking on the door and it sounded like Daniel was there. "Go in the other room. I got your back." Sensei says to Robby. "What the hell" Sylvia mumbled to herself.

Sensei went and opened the door slightly. "Hey man" he said. "Is my daughter here?" Daniel asked quickly. "Yeah, just calm down." Sensei said. Sylvia backed up so she was leaning against the kitchen counter. "Don't tell me to calm down. Where is she?" Daniel asked again.

"Look they had a crazy night. Kids do these things. Just don't overreact" sensei says shaking his head a bit. "Ok, who the hell are you to tell me about parenting? You need to open this door right now." Daniel said and pushed the door open but sensei pushed it back.

"I don't need to do anything until you cool off." Sensei says nudging the door closed. Sylvia ran up to sensei. "Wait, maybe I can talk to hi-" Sylvia was cut short when Daniel kicked the door open, hitting Sylvia and sending her to the ground.

"Sam?" Daniel yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Sensei yelled after helping Sylvia up. Johnny then kicked Daniel. They started fighting again. Sam and Robby ran out and stopped them. "Mr LaRusso, it was my fault. I brought her here." Robby quickly intervened in their argument.

"Don't even start. I gave you a second chance. This whole thing was a mistake. You know you wanna end up like him, that's up to you. Alright come on Sam"

"Please dad"

"Sam I don't wanna hear it's let's go" LaRusso's walked out and slammed the door. "Kid you okay?" Sensei asks Sylvia. "Yeah, I-I I'm gonna go. I got school" Sylvia quickly said and walked out.

Sylvia walked with Miguel to school. She told him about the fight Sensei and LaRusso had and he told me about how Tory wasn't answering him. "And I- I kind of kissed Sam" he muttered.

Sylvia jolted her head to look at him. "Miguel! That's probably why she isn't answering you!" Sylvia exclaims. "She wasn't there when we kissed!" He replied.

Aisha walked up to them. "Still nothing from Tory?" She asked. "No, what about you?" He replied. "She won't text back. I'm getting kind of worried." Aisha said.

"I couldn't even find her after the party. Think she got in trouble with the cops?" Miguel replied. "I don't know. But missing the first day of school is not a good sign" Aisha answered.

Miguel shook his head before they walked into the school and went to class. Sylvia sat next to Miguel with Hawk behind at science.

The counselor went into the speakers and started talking. "Dude you kissed Sam? Nice!" Hawk snickers. "No, it's not nice" Sylvia hissed. "I shouldn't have done that to Tory" Miguel replied.

"Why limit yourself to one chick?" Hawk asks. "I'm planning on having a full rotation by the time we get to midterms." Hawk said chuckling. Someone came up to Hawk and started talking about wetting the bed and Hawk got mad and hit his books to the floor.

There was a loud ringing in the speakers. "Hey what your not supposed to be here" the counselor said. And a lot of rummaging.

"Samantha LaRusso." It was Tory. "You know what you did, and now your gonna pay for it. I'm coming for you bitch!" Tory yelled and the speaker went off.

The bell rang and we jolted up from our seats and Miguel went running, like running through the hallways. Sylvia tried following him.

When she got there she pushed herself to the front next to Aisha and Hawk. Tory and Sam where facing each other. They circled around.

"I saw what you did at the party. You kissed Miguel." Tory snarled. Tory threw the first punch but Sam moved to the side before it could hit her. Sam was doing defense as Tory threw kicks and punches.

Tory threw Sam into the lockers and punched her stomach. Robby ran up to them and got Tory off Sam. "Are you okay?" He asks Sam.

Tory tries to get around Robby but Robby held her chest against the lockers. Miguel now just getting here runs straight in and tackles Robby to the ground. "Oh it is on!"

Sylvia ran to Sam and Tory. "Sam!" She yells. Then someone pushed her into the lockers. "Oh really?" Sylvia snaps at him. Sylvia front kicks him in the stomach into the lockers and hook kicks him in the face.

Everyone broke into a fight now. Even the two nerds were fighting. Sylvia turned and saw Tory pushing Sam into the main area where the staircase was. Everyone followed. Sylvia ran up the stairs to Sam and Tory. She sees Sam pinning Tory down. Sylvia ran up to Sam and tackled her off.

Tory dragged Sam by the hair down the stairs. Sylvia looked over and saw Miguel and Robby fighting near the edge. She looked back and saw Sam kick Tory over a railing. Sylvia contemplated but decided to go after Miguel and Robby.

"Miguel." She pants seeing him on top of Robby. Miguel looks at her and back at Robby. He thought about sensei's lesson about mercy.

Sylvia runs over to him as he drops Robby's arm. Robby yelled pushing himself up. He kicked Sylvia thinking it was Miguel. Sylvia felt her back hit the railing. "Sylvia! Be careful!" Miguel yells.

But with his back turned Robby kicks Miguel's legs causing him to turn around. Robby then kicked his chest causing him to fly into the railing next to Sylvia.

This time he wasn't so fortunate. Sylvia's heart sank as she watched his feet lift from the floor. "Miguel!" She screams sticking her hand out far over the railing. Miguel tries to grab it but he misses. Sylvia watches as he falls right beneath her. Her lungs felt like it stopped expanding. Her hand shook from over the railing.

Sylvia bolted down the stairs meeting Hawk by Miguel. "No no no" Sylvia repeats as Hawk quickly hugs her tight. Sylvia felt as if she was 6 feet under. Her brain felt like soup. Her hands shook so much it felt numb.

The ambulance came and took mostly everyone who was in the fight to the hospital. Sylvia laid in the hospital bed waiting for her scans to come back. She stayed glued to her phone. Trying her best not to break into tears again.

The doctor came back and said her back was bruised and her shoulder popped back out. After they discharged her she stayed in the hospital and snuck to Miguel's room. No surprise it was locked but Carmen and his grandma were sitting outside.

Sylvia slumped down next to them. "I-I'm sorry." Sylvia stuttered. Carmen looked to Sylvia heartbroken. She quickly hugged Sylvia. "I was there. I was right there. I couldn't reach him" Sylvia sobbed. Carmen brushed through her hair. "You did the best you could mija."
