*Eli's P.O.V*
Seeing my girlfriend walk away from the group after her outburst broke my heart into pieces. It feels like my heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach and I looked towards the ground as the rest of the group looked at each other. Even when she's literally outside, I feel so far away from here and it feels like I'm not at LaRusso Auto anymore. It feels like I'm back at my own house, after our breakup, when it was after I got my mohawk shaved off by Robby. Back then, my heart was broken. But now, my heart is breaking for her because I can feel her pain.
It felt like a shallow pit but the longer the silence goes, it feels more deeper and I can't even swim. I can't reach the surface no matter how hard I try. A loud breath leaves my mouth as I finally look up at Daniel, Johnny, Sam, Miguel, and Robby. They were looking at me with concern on their faces.
"Is there anyone who wants to start talking?" Johnny said, breaking the ice and we all looked at him because he said it in a joking manner. His voice didn't sound serious.
"Eli.." Daniel said, looking at me as he continued to express his concern for Amy, his niece.
I sighed, my hands in my pants pocket. "She quit karate after we got back from Barcelona."
"She what?" Johnny said, starting to sound serious in his voice. I guess him hearing her quitting karate did it for him.
"She never told me that." Sam told everyone in the circle, "She usually keeps quiet when the topic is mentioned. Or she'll change the subject."
"She wants nothing to do with karate." I say once again, "She doesn't want to train, she doesn't want to do the kata. She's done and it's why she's so against the tournament being back because of what happened to Kwon."
"What about you, man?" Miguel asked me, "Do you want the tournament to be back?"
"I'm only worried about Amy and our future baby right now. It's not much of a choice from me because I'm not competing. Sure, I'd want it back because Miyagi-Do needs to win but I have a family that I need to take care of and I want her to be okay. So it breaks my heart knowing that she's upset by all of this."
"Someone should go talk to her." Robby suggested.
All of us looked at each other before Daniel nodded, "I'll go see if I can find her. She couldn't have gone far."
We all watched Daniel walk out of the entrance way to LaRusso Auto and Johnny went somewhere else which left me with the rest of the group that's Sam, Miguel, and Robby. The boys seemed to be in their own conversation so it ended up leaving Sam and I.
"Is it cool if we have a conversation?" Sam asked me.
"Yeah, it's cool." I agreed with her and we went to talk in a more private area so that we weren't bothering anyone else. But we're also talking about something serious so it does make sense.
When we were by the drinks table when it was empty, Sam started to drink some orange juice before saying, "It does hurt me to see Amy like this."
"It hurts me too." I sighed, hoping that Daniel is able to talk to her about the situation.
"I'm telling the truth here, Eli. She never once told me about how she is quitting karate. I mean, I knew she barely acknowledged it when we came back but she never told me everything else that's on her mind. So it did surprise me when she had her small outburst."
"It didn't surprise me." I honestly said, "I knew she wouldn't be okay with it."
"Kwon's death really hit her hard, huh?"
"I think it hit her hard but it did put karate in a different perspective for her. Whenever I'll be with her, she'll barely mention Barcelona. Then one day, she explained to me that she doesn't want anything to do with karate. It was like she loathed the idea of karate being a thing. And plus, I think his death just reminded her of Alec's."
