CHAPTER 20:
Always.
Quinn

"Hey."

Despite hearing his voice and wanting to just slap him, I stayed where I was as I looked through the clothing racks.

"Come on, don't be like this."

"Don't touch me."

He scoffed, "Did that pussy tell you what happened? He deserved it."

"He wasn't a student, and he can sue."

"Kreese is a war veteran."

"Who didn't think he needed therapy, and look where he is now."

He got closer, "He's tough. Demetri is lucky that's all he did to him."

"His wife died when my mom was one. She was in the backseat. He didn't come home to take care of his daughter of the woman he claims to have loved."

"Your mom is lying to you!" Just when he put his hands on my shoulders, I went in to slap him again.

But he caught my wrist.

"Nice try, princess. And if you don't like me, why are you still wearing that ring?" That's when it hit me. It was a collar, it was a leash - it was a sticker that he put on his trophy. It basically marked me as submissive to him and that if he was done with Moon one day, then I would be waiting.

Time to use that Miyagi-Do training.

Instead of tearing away my wrist, I let him hold onto it and pulled him close enough and used the crown of my head to hit his forehead before ducking down to sweep the leg. He hit his back with a groan and I took off the ring and threw it at him.

Well, and what mom taught me.

Marching away, I thought that was the last of it, until I felt a hand grab my shoulder.

"Sorry about this."

Mitch?

I squeaked as I was lifted up and tossed over a Cobra Kais' shoulder, hoping to any god listening that my skirt remained covering my underwear.

"We're really sorry, Quinn! But Hawk doesn't want you to get involved in the fight."

The fight?

What fight?

Knowing it probably involved Miyagi-Do, I started thrashing around and hitting his back with his fists.

"Stop! That hurts, you know!"

I kinda hoped so!

I screamed as hands grabbed my waist and I was lifted from Mitchs' shoulder, and shoved into a room.

"We'll come back later! I promise!"

Wha-?!

And the door slammed, putting me in complete darkness and my nose immediately told me what room I was in.

The janitorial closet.

They figured out I was in Miyagi-Do.

Or atleast they suspect it.

Despite Hawk probably wanting me to feel honored that he pushed me away from whatever hell he wanted to cause Demetri and Miyagi-Do, I was pretty pissed. He had his. . .gang, or whatever they are, put me in a fucking janitors closet.

This is the last straw.

I can't stand this anymore.

I try so hard to think that maybe he's going to change, and that I'll have my sweet Eli back, but I'm met with constant defeat and failure.

He said he wanted to hear my first words?

Light flooded my vision and I was thankful that it was a janitor and not Hawk.

"What are you-?" I quickly bolted past him and towards where I last saw my friends.

The Food Court.

Unfortunately, Hawk did have a plan, and fortunately, Miyagi-Do was able to thwart it.

"Quinn!" I smiled at the sound of Robbys voice, knowing that he was okay, and started running towards my friends.

"What happened? Demetri said he went looking for yo-"

"Get away from her!" Hawk roared, and started towards Robby.

Don't hesitate.

He went in to grab Robby over my shoulder, but made the mistake of leaving his jaw wide open. I elbowed his jaw, making him stumble back, and then drove my fist right into his nose, causing a crack to resonate in the somewhat quiet area as a group surrounded us.

"Fuck you," I spat, catching him off guard.

"I said my first words a long time ago, and you know what they were?" I questioned, glaring hard at him as he held his bloody nose.

"Yes, Robby."

My Miguel Diaz fanfic is ready to publish! Should I publish it now or do I want until I finish this book (as in finish, I mean wrap up s3 until s4 comes out)? It's titled Dare Me, and it involves a dare, extreme drama, and angst.
