Red venom, Cobra Kai.

25. Bloody Knuckles.

Taylor sat at the kitchen counter, sipping her hot chocolate whilst Johnny made her fried eggs. Taylor was a bit quiet after she came back from the arcade, and Johnny understood why. She already told him that Demetri had his arm broken.

Cupping her hands around the cup, Taylor sighed. "I might have to go to bed soon."

Johnny looked up from the pan and nodded. "Well, luckily for me, these eggs are done." He stated before picking up the pan and sliding the fried eggs down on to Taylor's plate.

Taylor gave her dad a smile. "Thank you." She said as she put her mug down and picked up her fork and knife.

"So, are you gonna say anything about it?" Johnny muttered.

Taylor looked up and furrowed her brows. "What?"

"About you being in Cobra Kai still."

Taylor shook her head and then shrugged. "I don't know. Harvey and I joined again to see what they were doing, but on the very first day we were already in a fight and someone got their arm broken. I don't know about Harvey, but I regret my choice." Johnny nodded as he listened to her words.

Taylor looked down at her phone and saw another notification show up from Harvey. She hadn't answered his messages, and she wouldn't until the next day. "I also don't know if I can straight up just leave."

"I mean, as much as I also want to know what those bastards are up to, I don't think that it's the best idea for you to be there right now. If you stay, Kreese will probably get in your head. I'm surprised that he already hasn't."

Taylor put her hand under her chin as she chewed on her eggs. "Hm, well, it's a shame that he kicked you out of your own dojo."

Johnny hummed. "To be fair, it wasn't mine anymore. But, yeah, it's a shame." Taylor nodded as she looked down at the counter. Johnny sighed. "Alright, after you finish up, you should go and get some sleep. We'll talk in the morning, yeah?"

"Yeah." Taylor mumbled.

Johnny patted Taylor's shoulder before walking off to his own room. Taylor quickly finished off her eggs, put the plate into the sink, and rushed off to her bedroom.

Taylor had gotten up rather early the next morning, and since she was bored, she decided to get dressed. She wasn't sure about her plans for the day. Hopefully she'd figure them out after talking with her dad.

"Sleep well?" Johnny asked as Taylor entered the kitchen.

Taylor huffed a breath and leaned against the wall. "No. It was a horrible sleep, actually. My head's killing me."

Johnny gasped slightly. "Is it your time of the month?"

Taylor instantly frowned. "What? No. My sleep was bad, that's all."

"Right." He slowly nodded his head and raised his eyebrows. "So, are you gonna go today?"

Taylor hummed. She would only go if Harvey was going, and it seemed like Harvey was going to go because of the messages he had sent that morning. "Maybe." She looked up at him. "Wouldn't it be kinda weird for me to keep going to a dojo with your ex sensei as my new sensei?"

Johnny shrugged. "You aren't going there for real, right?" Taylor shook her head. "Then it's fine. And, yeah, it's a little weird. But you were only gonna go for a few days."
