COBRA KAI
(season 3, ep 5)

MIGUEL WAS OFFICIALLY OUT OF THE HOSPITAL and scarlett was coming over to see him. "hey, mig." scarlett greeted as she walked into the apartment complex and saw miguel outside in his wheelchair. "hey." a smile grew on miguel's face. in the corner of scarlett's eye, she saw a man packing something in the trunk of his car. "who's the hippy?" scarlett leaned down so miguel could hear her whispers. "my physical therapist."

"great job today, jefe. you crushed it." the physical therapist held his fist out. "oh my god." scarlett laughed to herself at the way he was talking. "really? it didn't feel like i did much of anything." miguel said after fist bumping him.

"hey, no negative thoughts. just positive energy." "i'll, uh, keep that in mind." miguel nodded. "i can deal with moon's hippiness but his is like in your face." scarlett said causing miguel to laugh. "let's go inside."

scarlett walked next to miguel as they moved towards his apartment and suddenly miguel stopped and scarlett looked over, seeing a magazine hanging in front of his face. scarlett looked up and saw johnny standing on the balcony with a fishing pole in his hands. "what the hell is he doing?" scarlett squinted, looking up at him.

"what's this?" miguel questioned. "this is a collection of the tastiest babes of 1988. and you're not gonna get to see 'em unless you grab it." "you still have porn magazines from the 80's!?" scarlett smirked.

"it's not porn it's pictures of model's." johnny defended. "yeah, but did you or did you not jack off to them?" "i'm not answering that question. grab it, miguel."

"okay." miguel held his arm out and reached for it but johnny moved it. "gonna have to try harder than that." "you know i can just find these pictures on my phone, right?" miguel scoffed. "it's not the same. chicks are hotter on the page."

"sensei, this is stupid." scarlett rested her hands on her sides. "you say that about everything i do." "do you notice the trend now?"

"get off your butt and grab it. or, you can keep getting foot rubs from that pansy-ass therapist." miguel shook his head and tried to grab it again but johnny moved it the opposite way. "weak! that all you got, diaz? i thought you were the all valley champ." miguel grabbed onto the sides of his chair and lifted himself up. he started to reach for it and his fingers almost touched the edge of the magazine before he fell.

"shit!" scarlett rushed over to miguel and tried to lift him up. she was able to lift most of his body up but miguel weighed more than her so it was a little difficult. "god, how much do you weigh?" scarlett groaned and left go of him since, he was able to sit up. "are you okay?" johnny asked as he jogged over to them. "yeah."

johnny lifted him up and placed him back onto the chair. "all right, gimme a minute, we'll go again. i think i still have my vanna white playboy. that'll get you going." "don't you get it? you could dangle a new playstation, i still wouldn't be able to stand up." miguel scoffed before he wheeled himself over to his apartment.

MIGUEL TEXTED SCARLETT TO SEE IF SHE wanted to go with him and johnny to the concert and she agreed but, as she was getting ready to leave she got a call from doni. "hey, don." scarlett said after putting him on speaker.

"hey, i just felt like i needed to tell you this." "okay...what's up?" scarlett asked as she slipped her rings on her fingers. "so, demetri was supposed to help me out with history and we were supposed to study today but, when i called him sam answered. she said that they were at the hospital because demetri got his arm broken." doni explained. "what happened?"

"they got into a fight with cobra kai at golf and stuff." scarlett froze for a second. hawk had asked her yesterday if she wanted to go to golf and stuff with them but, she already made plans to see miguel. "who broke it?" "hawk." now, she was silent. if you told scarlett something that would make her mad she would usually go off. but, when she gets really mad she doesn't say a word.

"scar?" doni spoke up, wondering if she wad still there. "um, sorry. i'm gonna talk to you later, okay?" scarlett spoke in a calm tone. "okay."

...

SCARLETT PULLED UP AT THE SIDE OF HAWK'S HOUSE and turned the car off. she stepped out of the car and as she walked over to the porch she sent hawk a quick text. "come outside."

after a few minutes the front door opened and hawk stepped out, a smile lingering on his pink lips. "hey, what's up?" hawk held his arms out for a hug but scarlett pushed them down. "okay...what?" hawk looked at her confused.

scarlett took a deep breath before speaking. "doni called me a little while ago because he had something to tell me, that he thought i should know. he said that demetri said he would help him study and when he called him sam answered. she answered because they had to take demetri to the hospital because someone in particular broke his arm. why did you do that?" scarlett looked him in the eye and hawk's neutral expression turned into an annoyed one.

"you know why." hawk stated with a bit of anger laced in his voice. "hawk—" "they deserve it after everything they did to you, miguel, and doni." hawk cut her off. "okay, take me and doni out of the equation because at least i healed and he will be healed. miguel is trying to re-learn how to wiggle his toes right now."

"whether you're in the equation or not they have to suffer the consequences." hawk crossed his arms. "i don't think you realize how like crazy you sound right now. only a few people did the damage and i get it you wanna be mad at them or break their arms but, demetri didn't do anything."

"yeah, he may have humiliated you at a party but he did that because you came after him first. he may have thrown you into a trophy case but you came after him first. he didn't deserve that."

"they're all the same scarlett! it's a matter of time before they do worse than put our friend in a coma or paralyze them. am i so wrong for trying to keep things from getting worse!?" hawk raised his voice. "you're trying to keep things from getting worse by making it worse? because that's literally what you're doing. this is going to be a never ending thing."

"robby is just a fucking asshole. he threw him off of a balcony because of a girl. all of this is just fucking crazy. and honestly hawk, i think it's the other way around. ever since i met you, you lashed out at people when you got angry and i got why. but you took it too far this time. you and demetri have been friends since you guys were learning how to count and now, you're trying to kill each other. and one day you're going to do way worse than breaking someone's arm if you keep this up!" scarlett was practically yelling at this point.

"i was defending you! i was defending everyone and you're mad? scarlett, i always protect you and you have never had a problem about it. you obviously don't appreciate it. i have always done whatever i can to protect my friends and to protect the dojo and now you're yelling at me for doing what i had to do." "i'm yelling at you because you promised me!" scarlett snapped back at him, making his face fall.

"we're you're fingers crossed behind your back or something? i'm yelling at you because you're acting like a fucking lunatic. i'm yelling at you because you're taking it too far and i'm scared for you. i'm yelling at you because you said nothing would change. and you lied." scarlett felt tears forming in her eyes and hawk just stood there in silence.

"if you could do that to your best friend. i'm terrified of what you could do to me if i piss you off." "scarlett, i would never do anything to hurt you. i promise, please-" scarlett scoffed. "i promise." she mumbled.

"i don't even know who you are anymore, hawk. just leave me alone..." scarlett shook her head and started to walk away. "scar-" his voice broke.

"i hate you." she snapped at him with tears in her eyes. but, she didn't mean a word of it. honestly she just wanted the fight to be like over. because if they kept going she would break down. she instantly regretted her words once she saw hawk's lips parting in shock. "i'm sorry. just...just don't talk to me. please." her voice sounded softer now. she walked off of the porch as tears ran down her red cheeks. hawk watched her as string of curse words left his mouth and he went back inside. slamming the front door shut.
