Life was full of complications.
Something Carmin heavily believed in was that you can't get to a rainbow without going through rain. That's honestly what kept her going, the hope that getting to the rainbow would be worth trudging through rain.
Carmin had experienced a lot of rain.
A lot.
Throughout her life, Carmin had been a character, because she was never truly herself. Not until Miguel Diaz moved into the valley, not until Aisha Robinson convinced her to do karate, and not until Robby Keene began to love her.
And since then, Carmin had began to see a faint rainbow at the end of this long period of rain. Rain that seemed to burn its way into her heart and brain, causing her to lose herself, lose the people she loved and become a character again. She tried to keep her head above water but the rain kept pouring.
She'd struggled to breathe for so long.
But then the impossible happened, the sun came out. The rain stopped falling and the rainbow began to shine over her head. Peace came within the land and her biggest problem was how do I tell the person I love that I love them.
But the sun goes down eventually.
"You didn't lose the All Valley." The words Carmin wasn't ready to be said slipped past Tory Nichols lips. Carmin looked over at Sam, who looked to be in confusion. "What? What does that mean? Why are you here? Carmin?"
Carmin paused, slowly turning to Sam, "I can explain.. can we go somewhere to talk?" Sam shook her head, backing up from the girls while Faith held a hand over her mouth. "No, what the hell does she mean, Carmin!?"
"Silver!.. He paid off the referee. Cobra Kai cheated." Carmin answered, holding her breath, silently praying Sam calmed down long enough for her to talk and explain. But this was Samantha LaRusso, we were talking about.
"How long did you know?" Sam questioned in a gruff voice, "Since the All Valley, both of us, look LaRusso-." Sam cut Tory off with a betrayed scoff, "You guys knew for that long and didn't say anything?! This affected my family, my dad, the dojo you're apart of Carmin! And you, didn't say anything?"
Faith backed up, deciding to go find Miguel and Robby before a fight broke out. "No, Sam, look.. I told Tory not to say anything because I didn't want a b-." Carmin was cut off as Sam's leg met her gut, the Larusso girl got into fighting position as Carmin hit the ground.
"Sam!" Tory called again desperately, helping Carmin up, who had clenched fists, but was trying not to retaliate. "You don't know what it's like in there, what we had to go through-." Toru struggled to talk as Sam through fast fists at the blonde who just pushed her hands back.
