Fighting Against Yourself : A Cobra Kai Story - Male Reader x Tory Nichols

Chapter 20 - Memories

Y/N and Miguel lay on the hard concrete, both unconscious. Around Y/N's head blood start to pool. Sam met Robby's eyes.

"Robby, what did you do?" Sam asked as Robby looked at the two boys beneath him. He instantly darted off, leaving Sam stood confused on the stairs. 

Tory let out a small cry as she saw the two downed friends. She instantly ran to Y/N's side, Not paying any second thoughts to it. She grabbed his hand and held it tight. Eventually, the medics arrived. They rushed both out of the school. 

Y/N lay fast asleep, his head still bruised and bloodied. Tory stood by the door as she watched. She had tears in her eyes as she watched Y/N. He had tubes leading to his head and the rest of his body. 

"Excuse me, Family only, please." A nurse told Tory, She looked at her.

"No. I, um, I'm his girlfriend." Tory replied wiping her eyelids. 

"Tory Nichols?" The nurse asked, and Tory nodded. The nurse motioned for someone in the distance. A police officer walked over to the pair. 

 "Hello, Miss Nichols. You are being placed under arrest. Anything you say or do will be held against you in a court of law." The officier pulled out his handcuffs. 

"Please, No. I need to be here." Tory cried out, But the officier payed no attention. Tory turned to e nurse, "Let him know I was here, Tell him what happened." 

The nurse looked at her before nodding.

Y/N layed in his bed, His head swirled with many different images.

He walked around the dark landscape, Calling out for help. Yet, He never heard any response.

After walking for what must have felt like hours, Y/N reached a small child curled up in a ball.

"Make me forget. I don't want her to leave!" The child shouted, Y/N leant down to comfort them, but as the child looked at him, he fell back.

Looking back at him was his own face. It was younger, but undoubtedly still himself. As soon as Y/N stood up, the child was gone.

"Y/N?" A voice called out from behind him. He turned to see Tory standing behind him.

"You don't know how happy I am to see you." Y/N told her as he leaned in for a hug. Yet he was shoved away.

"Y/N, we broke up. Don't you remember? After the accident, you called me a cheater. You called me a liar." Tory slowly raised her voice at him, growing more and more angry.

"No, I... Wait, did you cheat on me?" Y/N looked at her. She slapped him across the face before disappearing.

Darkness surrounded him once again as he looked around for the next person. Slowly, out of the shadows, walked Miguel.

"Hey, Dude. Long time, no see." Miguel greeted him. Miguel wore a large grin on his face. Which Y/N was unsettled by.

"Hey dude..." Y/N greeted back, "What's going on?"

"Nothing much; everything has been great since me and Tory got together. Thanks for being a good friend about that, by the way. I don't think I could handle my best friend dating my ex." Miguel wrapped an arm around Y/N's shoulder. As Y/N turned to face him, he was gone.

Next, Y/N was face-to-face with his parent. They looked at him disappointedly. 

"After Tory left, We had to pick up your pieces. You were such a mess." His father told him, and his mother shook her head. 

"To think, the great champion would crumble at the thought of his girlfriend cheating." His mother laughed at him. Y/N, now engrossed by anger, swung for his mother, but once again she disappeared, leaving Y/N alone again.

This time, nobody else came. Y/N sat down as he pulled his legs close to himself and coddled himself. 

He sat like that for a while, until eventually he began shouting. 

"I don't want her to go; I don't want them to leave. I don't want to be alone. Please, I'll do anything. Make me forget. I don't want her to leave!" Y/N shouted before falling, watching eyes on him. He looked up to see himself looking down at him. 

He let out a scream. Before, like a train going through a tunnel, he popped back into life. 

He was sitting in a hospital bed. Where he was all alone. For awhile, he sat and thought about why he was here. Yet he couldn't remember a thing. The last thing he remembered was getting out of jail.
