Chapter 21
-Lucy's P.O.V-
~That Morning~
After Ella's little game and the three of us accusing Georgia of the one being pregnant. She finally admitted that it wasn't her. She explained that she herself got curious a few nights ago and took a test without our knowledge. Sneaky. So that left me and Ella.
Whilst I drove home, everything started to hit me. I couldn't remember when I last had a period, yet Ella had. I raced to the pharmacy and picked up three tests for myself. Once I was home, I snatched a bottle of water out of the fridge and locked myself in the bathroom, taking the three tests. I panicked as I awaited the results, pacing back and forth in the bathroom. Two minutes flew by and I turned each test over. All three read positive.
"Damn you Bobby Brown!" I hissed to myself. Fuck!
-
"Y-you're pregnant?" Bobby stuttered, clearly shocked by what I had just told him. I clasped my hands together and nodded slowly, taking a seat back on the bench beside him. "Are you sure?"
"I took three tests and they all came back positive"
"How far along are you?"
"I'm not sure, I only took the tests this morning" I could feel his eyes burning into the side of my head. "I'm not getting rid of the baby. I understand if you don't want anything to do with me or the baby. I know you're still young so I get it" I started picking at my nails.
"Are you crazy?" He places his hands on either side of my face and made me look at him. "I want this! It may be a little too soon but that doesn't change anything. I love you Lucy, always did. Nothing is going to change that. And now, you've given me purpose!"
"So you're fine with this?" I asked. This went a lot better than I thought it would.
"Absolutely. Actually, I'm kind of excited" He admitted. I giggled to myself, his hands stroking my cheeks.
"I love you Bobby" I bit my lower lip and gazed into his eyes. Bobby leaned forward and kissed my lips, gently holding me in place. As I attempted to deepen this kiss he pulled away.
"Hang on" He said. "This isn't why you forgave me was it?" I chuckled as his little pout.
"No it wasn't. I forgave you because I couldn't bring myself to hate you. Oh and your mother paid me a little visit. Don't tell her I told you. Thanks for the flowers by the way" I winked at him.
"That's where they went!" We both laughed aloud and he pulled me into a tight hug.
"Do you wanna watch the rest of the tournament?" I asked him.
"Sure, let's go see Johnny be crowd champion, yet again" Bobby playfully rolled his eyes as I stood up. I held my hand out to him which he happily took, interlacing his fingers with mine as he led us out of the changing rooms.
The Cobra's spotted Bobby and I, giving him supportive smiles, Bobby gave them all a weak smile back, but glared hard at Kreese, who stood with Johnny on the mat as the announcer was about to hand him the trophy. He took a seat and pulled me down to sit on his lap, carefully wrapping his arms around my waist, his right hand resting on my stomach. I felt him place feathered kisses along my neck. I saw Ali run over to the announcer and whisper something into his ear.
"Daniel Larusso's gonna fight?" He asked her in disbelief, everybody heard it considering his microphone was held close to his mouth. I quickly looked back at Bobby whose expression matched mine. There was no way! I know I heard a crack when Bobby hit him. "Daniel Larusso's gonna fight!"
"See, he's ok!" I told Bobby who let out a small sigh of relief. I beamed over at Daniel as he and Mr Miyagi walked back onto the mat. Kreese didn't look too pleased.
"Alright, the big event! The final match to determine who will emerge victor and champion of the all valley under 18 karate championship!" The announcer spoke into the mic, the crowd loudly cheering. Most of the people in the crowd were cheering for Daniel, the cobras cheering for Johnny, but I could mostly hear Tommy.
I watched on eagerly as it was finally happening. Johnny vs Daniel. The ref yelled 'fight', Johnny instantly began throwing his fists and kicking quickly, none of his hits connecting. Because he was more focused on trying to hit Daniel out of built up rage, he wasn't concentrating. Daniel managed to land a punch to Johnny's stomach, earning the first point.
"Lawrence return!" The ref demanded, Johnny shoved Daniel and returned to his line. Bobby rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Come on Johnny" He yelled.
"Fight!"
The two boys fought again, I couldn't help but giggle to myself at the loud comments Tommy was making. I don't even think he realised how loud he was being, in his mind, he was being a supportive friend.
Johnny managed to get Daniel down onto the mat, but not for long. Daniel kicked out of his hold and instantly got to his feet. As Johnny came forward, Daniel went down, wrapping his leg around Johnny's, making him trip and fall down onto the mat. He took the opportunity and jabbed Johnny in the back of the head. I winced seeing Johnny holding his nose and turned my head slightly. Bobby quickly pecked my lips, his way of keeping me calm. He knew I hated this. The only reason I came to this thing was for him.
"Point, chop! That's two for Larusso!" We heard through the speakers. I couldn't believe Daniel was actually beating him. The ref called for a time out.
"Go to your Sensei" The ref instructed Johnny, who cupped his bloody nose. He then turned to Daniel. "Turn, kneel"
Johnny walked over to Kreese, who wiped away some of the blood from Johnny's nose. He started saying something but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I felt Bobby tense up, I turned slightly so I could see his face, he looked concerned.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I don't trust that man" Bobby spat, keeping a close eye on Kreese and Johnny. Johnny finally returned to the mat.
"That's two points Larusso, Lawrence nothing" the ref told both boys. Pissing Johnny off even more. He ordered the boys to fight and Johnny didn't waste any time. He went straight for Daniel's injured leg and then his face, knocking him to the ground.
"I told you!" Bobby angrily said.
"What the hell Johnny?" I yelled. What a cheap shot. The crowd boo'ed but Tommy began shouting and jumping for joy.
"2-1 Larusso!" The announcer said. Daniel was still in the lead.
The next round Johnny went crazy, doing everything he could to hit Daniel, punching and kicking. Due to him attacking Daniel's injured leg, it was a lot easier for him to gain his second point. They were both 2-2. Any one of them could win.
The match seemed to be going on forever, Johnny constantly going for Daniel's injured knee. At one point Daniel ended up out of bounds. Finally, Johnny fists connected with Daniel's face.
"Come on Daniel be strong!" I heard Ali shout.
"No point!" The ref held up an x with his arms. "Ready, fight!"
I gasped. Daniel tried to kick Johnny, but Johnny caught his leg. Using his elbow, he once again jabbed Daniel on his injured leg. Daniel fell to the floor, groaning and rolling in pain.
"You've got this Johnny!" Bobby yelled, he gave my hand a gentle squeeze. I let out a deep sigh.
"It's over Johnny, yeah, you did it!" Tommy yelled from where he sat.
Daniel got up with help from the ref and limped back over to his line. I could see how much pain he was in just by looking at his face.
"Are you ok, can you go on?" The ref asked him and Daniel nodded. I had to admire him, he wasn't giving up easily. I couldn't help but cheer for him.
"Get him a body bag, yeah!" I heard Tommy's obnoxious laugh and desperately tried to hold my laugh in. He really is an idiot.
"That's a warning for illegal contact to the knee!" The ref told Johnny. I squeezed Bobby's hands, I heard him muttering 'come on' over and over. Clearly intended for Johnny. I frowned.
"What move is that?" I asked referring to Daniel. His arms came above his head and his left leg lifted off of the ground. Bobby sat up straight.
"I have no idea" He replied.
"Finish him!" Kreese shouted, his arms crossed over his chest.
Everybody waited in anticipation to see who would get the third and final point. The ref yelled 'fight' and Johnny ran forward, Daniel jumped, kicked out his right foot and caught Johnny. He had won!
I jumped up and hollered, clapping loudly as Ali, Daniel's mom and a few others rushed onto the mat, embracing Daniel. Bobby stood up behind and began to slowly clap, his facial expression was a picture. None of us believed he could do it. I smiled to myself, seeing Johnny actually be a man and hand Daniel the trophy before walking away.
"Wait for me outside, I'm gonna go change with the guys" Bobby told me. He kissed my cheek before running off. I walked over to Daniel.
"Congratulations! You did it!" I pulled him into a hug which he gladly returned.
"Hey, tell Bobby that I forgive him" Daniel told me as I tried to walk away. I smiled politely at him.
"I will"
