Until the end - Eli Moskowitz/Hawk

(19)

Kreese was gone and Jess was relieved to say the least. Johnny got to class practicing head butting and Jess went to talk to him.

"Hey dad" she says

"Just tuck in your chin and aim with the crown of your head. It's not that hard" Johnny tells her

"No it's not about headbutting I think I've got that down" she smiles "it's about Kreese"

"What about him?"

"Well I know he's your friend so if you wanna talk" she says

"You don't have to worry about me" he says "besides you should be focused on that boyfriend of yours"

Jess eyes widen "you know about that"

"I'm not blind" he says "just don't get distracted. You can play 'hide the plantain' on your own time"

"Dad!"

"In class I need you focussed" he adds

"What about you and Carmen?" She teases

"She's got a boyfriend" he says

"I can set you up on a dating app if you'd like" she suggested

"A dating what?"

Miguel was round her and Johnny place trying to help set her dad up on a dating app.

"So me and Tory are going to the roller rink and we were wondering if you and Hawk wanted to go" he asks as he rummages through her dads walldrobe.

"What like a double date?" She asks

"I guess" he says "it's 80s themed"

"Okay well I'll asks if he's free"

"Hey there's a chick in my app!" Johnny shouts from the other room

"Just swipe if you like her" Miguel calls back

Jess texts her boyfriend asking if he can come with her replies with yes.

"Look at this jacket" Miguel says holding up red jacket.

Jess and Eli went for an 80s punk vibe, it was an easy choice because of his mohawk. Jess made her hair full of volume, wore some boot, fishnet tights, a skirt with a red plaid pattern on it and a leather jacket. She also has some semi-permanent hair dye to create red streaks in her hair.

Jess tied the laces on her skates and went to stand up, immediately losing her balance.

"Woah there" Eli says grabbing onto her waist so she doesn't fall. She smiles at him

"Thanks" she says "let's get out there" referring to the roller rink.

They hold hands as they step onto the floor. Her balance was not as good as his but he kept her up.

"I like the red in your hair" he pointed out "maybe you should keep it"

"Maybe I will" she smiles "it was fun to get dressed up though"

"You look really pretty" he tells her and she blushes a bit. She then catches sight of Robby and Sam together.

"Look who it is" she says tilting her head in their direction

"Oh shit" he says when he sees them "you gonna talk to him?"

"I'd rather not" she answers "he's being an real ass at the moment"

They continue skating for a bit before they hear some commotion. Sam had just pushed Tory over so she drops all the food she was carrying. They get over there as quick as they can.

"Tory are you okay" Jess asks her

"Yeah I'm find don't worry" she says "I just needed them out of here"

"Well I'm glad they are gone" Jess smiles "Sam LaRusso is one of the worst girls I know"

"I know!" Jess laughs as Eli walks her home. "Sometimes I wonder if he's really stuck in the 80s"

"Didn't you say you got him up on a dating app" Eli says

"Yeah but the truth of it is that he has the hots for Miguel's mom" she says quietly

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah I know right" she says "I wasn't expecting it but I love Carmen so I don't mind"

"That means that if they ever become a thing, you and Miguel would basically be siblings" he informs her

"That would be weird" she says thinking about it.

"Have you heard about Moon's party?" he asks

"Yeah she mentioned it, should be fun" she smiles. They'd reached the door to her apartment.

"Is your dad home?" He asks

"Yes" she says

"What a shame" he jokes and she hits his arm.

"I'll see you tomorrow" she smiles and kisses him

"I'll be counting down the minutes" he jokes backing away. She watched as he heads in the other direction before closing the door.
