Chapter 20
-Lucy's P.O.V-
I ran my hand through my hair after pulling on my black skater skirt and long sleeved white top. I let out a breath I had been holding and grabbed my keys. I walked out of the front door and climbed into my car, driving to the tournament. I told Bobby's mom I'd be there and I meant it. Even though I was mad at him, I still wanted to see him be announced as first place this year. I have so much faith in him.
When I arrived, I struggled to find a parking spot. So many had turned up. I managed to squeeze in between two cars and made my way inside. I took a seat on the first row, I was shocked there was even an empty seat. Lifting my head up, I scanned the area looking for Bobby. I spotted him standing with the guys and their sensei; he didn't see me. I heard them call Daniel over to mat three. It had been the talk of the school that he was competing. I spotted Daniel walking over with Mr Miyagi and Ali. I quickly waved over to them, Ali and Daniel waved back and Mr Miyagi bowed to me slightly.
"You can do it Daniel!" I encouraged as Daniel bowed to his opponent.
Daniel's opponent lunged forward with a kick causing Daniel to step off of the line. You could tell he was new to this. Mr Miyagi caught him before he could go further back. Daniel made his way back onto the line.
"Back on your line" The ref instructed.
"Be tough Daniel, be tough!" I heard Ali say.
"No point!" The ref announced. Once again his opponent came at him quickly, this time throwing punches, Daniel moved off of his line and into Mr Miyagi.
"Daniel-san, remember your defence. points come. Concentrate. Focus Power. Remember balance. Make good fight."Mr Miyagi told him, lightly pushing him back onto the line.
"Warning for running out of the ring. Once more it will cost you a point" The ref told Daniel.
I clapped loudly as Daniel managed to kick his opponent, earning himself a point. He needed one more to win, I watched in anticipation. I glanced over at Mr Miyagi who looked like a proud father. Both boys went back to their line and went again. I couldn't help but let out a cheer as Daniel earned himself another point. Winning the match.
"Alright Daniel! You're the best, you're the best." I heard Ali yelling.
The cobras soon made their way over to the mat. Bobby was up next. I sat up straight, watching him walk onto the mat. I noticed his karate gi not done up properly, feeling myself blush as I glanced at his exposed chest.
"Bobby!" Johnny shouted, catching Bobby's attention. He pointed over to me and Bobby turned his head. A wide smile appeared on his face when our eyes met. I gave him a small wave and he quickly excused himself, jogging over to me.
"You came!" He said. I hummed and nodded my head. "Can we talk?"
"Not right now" I pointed back over to the mat. "Good luck"
The match started and Bobby effortlessly ducked under his opponent and swept his leg, earning the first point. I couldn't contain my excitement and squealed. Bobby's opponent huffed and turned to me, sarcastically blowing me a kiss before lunging at Bobby. I looked on in disgust, the ref having to separate the two boys before the fight got out of control.
"You're history man, You're dead!" Bobby threatened. I smiled to myself, even though we're broken up, he's still so protective.
Both boys were back on their lines. Bobby wasted no time in delivering a beautiful round house kick, earning another point and winning the match. I stood up from my seat and cheered loudly. I couldn't help it. I'm so proud of him!
"You did it!" I yelled still clapping he winked at me.
I watched the other matches with the cobras. Johnny won both of his, his move set I had to say was quite impressive, like Bobby's. Unfortunately for Dutch, Tommy and Jimmy, the three of them lost to Daniel. Part of me was proud of Daniel, but I felt bad for the boys. Bobby won his second match. After winning, he turned to his sensei and held up his fist triumphantly, his sensei returned the gesture, it made my heart ache. All he wanted was to be recognised for his talent. In my opinion, he's a lot better than Johnny.
Bobby, Johnny and Daniel made it into the semi finals. I didn't have time to speak to him during the little break they had, their sensei wanted them all together to go over strategy. Everyone was called back. The first match in the semi finals was Johnny against Vidal, a very talented fighter. Thanks to Johnny's determination, he won the match.
"The next semi final will determine who will face the defending champion!" The announcer spoke. "Will Daniel Larusso of the Miaji-do karate and Bobby brown of the cobra Kai..."
I blocked out the announcers voice, I gazed over at Bobby who was talking to his sensei. I noticed how uncomfortable and agitated he was as they spoke. I knew something wasn't right. Bobby hesitantly stepped onto the mat. I swallowed the lump in my throat, Bobby looked down at the ground before turning to me with fear and guilt.
"Do what you gotta do Bobby!" Dutch shouted from where he stood. My eyes quickly landed on Kreese whose stare never left Bobby. I looked back at Bobby who sighed.
"Face. Bow" The ref demanded. Daniel and Bobby both bowed to each other. "Ready, fight!"
Bobby bounced on his feet a little. He turned to me one last time and mouthed 'forgive me'. I jumped out of my seat as Bobby jumped into the air, his foot connecting with Daniel's knee, the crack echoed throughout the arena. I let out a yell and covered my mouth with my hands. The audience also reacting. I looked on, horrified.
"Daniel, Daniel I'm sorry! I'm sorry man I didn't mean it!" Bobby yelled to Daniel as he crouched next to him, Daniel screaming in pain. A single tear left my eye. I knew that wasn't Bobbys doing. I turned to Kreese who smirked. I shook my head slowly in disgust.
"Bobby Brown of the cobra Kai has been disqualified! For extensive and deliberate contact" The announcer spoke into the microphone. My heart broke for him, this was suppose to be his year!
Bobby faced his sensei, removed his black belt and forcefully slammed it onto the ground at Kreese's feet before walking off into the changing rooms. I stood up and ran after him.
"Bobby?" I yelled. I ran and found him in one of the changing rooms, sitting on a bench hanging his head. I heard him sniff. He was crying. "Hey!"
I rushed over to sit next to him, he looked up and I quickly pulled him into a hug, his arms tightly wrapped around my waist. Bobby buried his head into my shoulder and cried.
"It's not your fault ok!" I told him.
"I didn't want to do it" He cried. "I really didn't"
"I know you didn't" He pulled back and allowed me to wipe away his tears.
"I've ruined everything, I've lost you and now I'm not gonna be champion"
"You haven't lost me! I forgive you, ok? I forgive you. What happened between us it doesn't matter. Listen to me, we're fine" I hurriedly told him, my own tears rolling down my cheeks.
"I'm so sorry Lucy" Bobby cried harder, bring me closer to him. "For everything"
"Stop" I placed his hands on either side of his face, lifting his head up and smothered his cheek in kisses. "I love you so much Bobby"
"I love you too" Bobby pulled away slightly. "I'm done with karate! No more"
"Yeah? I asked him and he nodded, rubbing the back of his neck. "For what it's worth, you did so good! You were the best out there baby!"
"And I screwed that up all because I wanted to please Kreese" Bobby hit one of the lockers with his elbow and I jumped. I got off of the bench and knelt in front of him, taking ahold of his hands.
"That doesn't matter now"
"I'm a failure Lucy!"
"No you're not! You're the best man I have ever met! Just because that bastard fucked up your chances of winning, doesn't make you a failure! Bobby you are going to go on and have an amazing life. Karate doesn't determine who you are!" Bobby shook his head in disagreement.
"I hate myself so much" he sulked. "I give up with everything. With karate and life."
"Bobby please stop!" I begged, squeezing his hands. "You can't give up! We need you!" Bobby sniffed and made eye contact with me.
"We?" He asked, his voice cracking. I sighed.
"Bobby, I'm pregnant"
