[SEASON FOUR: EPISODE EIGHT]
[PART TWO]

Ethan and Sam pushed their way through the crowd, exchanging waves with familiar faces. After prom ended, Bert informed them about Stingray was having an after-party at his house. Although they initially considered heading home, they decided to extend the night and join the fun.

"No hard stuff for me. I learned my lesson. I'm just gonna grab a drink."

"Okay. Grab me one too." Williams nodded his head.

"And I'll find us some snacks."

As soon as she stepped outside to grab drinks for both of them, he made his way over to the table, which was filled various snacks such as chips, crackers, and other goodies.

Unbeknownst to the boy, when he turned around, he noticed Robby standing right behind him. The two exchanged a brief glare before awkwardly walking away from each other.

Sam was outside, pouring herself a cup of beer, when suddenly she turned around and was startled to see her worst nightmare standing right behind her: Tory Nichols.

"Seems like you're always behind in me line. First, you tried to take Ethan, now Robby. I have a half-eaten cupcake if you want some."

"You know, I'd kick your ass, but I promised your mom that I wouldn't." She replied, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Stay the hell away from my family." The brunette stated.

"Sorry. I don't take orders from tiny, little bitches." Tory remarked.

Sam glared at her, then set her cup down and swiftly spun around, launching a kick towards her opponent, sending her flying backwards. Advancing forward, she threw punches, but Nichols expertly blocked them.

The brunette landed a blow to her side, causing her to gasp in pain. She then wrapped her arms around her opponent's waist, before throwing her down to the ground. And just as she pinned the girl on the floor, she raised her fist up, getting ready to attack.

Ethan emerged the huge crowd, quickly making his way over to them. He grabbed Sam's arm and pulled her away from Tory.

"Sammy, stop!"

"What the hell are you doing?" He questioned, angrily.

"I'm doing what Johnny said. I'm not taking her shit anymore!" She replied, as he looked over her shoulder and saw someone running towards them. In an instant, he jumped in front of her and caught Tory's fist.

"Stop!" The boy shouted, grabbing her wrist, attempting to pull her away from his girlfriend.

"Get off of me!"

"Get off of her!" A male voice yelled, yanking him away from her. He stumbled on the deck until he realized who had pulled him back, it was Robby.

He went to throw a punch just before Sam jumped in, grabbed his arm, and twisted it behind his back, making him groaned in pain.

"You think I broke your heart? You broke mine too." The brunette cried out, her voice trembling. Tory slowly crawled over towards them, extended her leg, causing Sam fall down to the ground.

Robby ran over and help her up to her feet, while someone else quickly stood back up. The two girls glanced at one another, then moved forward, ready to face off as they started to square off.

He glared at Ethan and charged towards him with his fist raised. The boy blocked it the punch and retaliated with one of his own, but Keene grabbed his opponent's arm and pulling him forward, while using his other hand to grasp his throat.

Williams gasped for air as he was force down on his knees, feeling Robby's hand digging into his throat.

"You think my dad cares about you? He's just trying to make himself feel better for screwing up with me!"

"Robby, you know that's not true. Johnny really does cares about you."

The boy's hand released his throat, and Ethan quickly brought his knee up, landing a hit in his stomach. Then Robby grabbed ahold of his shoulder, spun around and shoved him towards Sam and Tory, causing all three of them to land headfirst into the large pool.

"What the hell was that?" He questioned, getting back up on his feet, then turned around to look at his girlfriend.

"I thought tonight was just only supposed to be about me and you. And now, you've completely ruined it!"

"What? Why are you taking her side? Same reason you've been staring at her all night?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's so not true." The boy scoffed loudly in disbelief. "And let's not talk about the fact your little moment with Robby, huh?"

"Please...." Sam sighed. "I wanna go home."

"Alright."

Ethan slipped a spare of keys into Johnny's front door after finding them on the brown rug at his doorstep. 

"Hey Sensei, you got a second? I've been having a really rough night. Prom didn't go as I planned it to be. Are you here?" He asked, then heard a someone groan, and looked around the room. His eyes landed on the floor, and he let out a shocked gasp at what  was there.

The Tv lay broken on the ground, with empty beer bottles scattered around. Lying face down was Johnny, surrounded by even more bottles of alcohol.

"Sensei, what in the world happened?" The boy questioned, before rushing over to his side.

"Oh, hey. Old man can kick." He slurred, turning around to face him.

"I don't know what any of that meant. Come, on. Let's get you back on your feet."

Williams noticed a bruise forming on the blonde man's face, and suddenly it all clicked in his head. Kreese must've done this to him. He walked over, and grabbed his arm, slowly pulling him up to his feet. He slung Johnny's arm around his own and wrapped an arm around his waist.

Ethan slowly guided him through the apartment, with him incoherently mumbling some random '80s song. They finally reached the bedroom, and he helped him lower himself down on the bed. Sensei let a groan of pain as his back hit the mattress.

"Put your legs up. There you go." He adjusted Johnny's legs onto the bed as they were hanging off to the side. Then, he quickly took off the man's shoes before looking back up at him, with another beer bottle in his hand. The boy immediately snatched it away from him, causing some of it spill on his white undershirt.

"Hey!" He scolded loudly, wiping the beer off his shirt.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"You're good. I was already wet anyway." The boy shrugged.

"Yeah, me too. From pee." Sensei chuckled.

"That's so gross. Anyway, I'm gonna head back home and go to bed. We can talk in the morning." Ethan stated. Before he could leave, someone grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks.

"Wait, wait, listen, listen." Johnny sighed in disbelief before continuing.

"I want.... I wanna be a father to you. I really do. I try to protect you. I try to be there for you. I just suck at it. I really suck at it. But I want to so bad. Even if it means tearing any other relationship apart."

"You're doing just fine, Sensei. No need to worry about that we make mistakes in life." He whispered quietly.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Robby."

The smile on Ethan's face faded away as tears started running down his face. He placed his hand his mouth to stop the sobbing that was threatening to escape his lips. Robby was right. Johnny was just trying to make up for his mistakes. He saw him as his replacement for his own son.

The boy slowly backed out of the room quietly, tears streaming down his face. He needed to get out of Johnny's apartment, right now. Then suddenly, he remembered what Senesi said.

He felt his sadness dissipate. Kreese had done this to Johnny. For what reason he didn't know, but what he did know was all of this was his fault. Ethan felt all of his anger boiled up inside as he thought about what the old man did, and he knew exactly where to go.

Meanwhile, Terry sat in the office of the Cobra Kai dojo, staring blankly at the wall. He had done everything in his power to prove his loyalty to Kreese, but it wasn't good enough. The old man was going soft on him, all because of Johnny Lawrence. He was so sick of the blonde man coming between him and his oldest friend, as well as Ethan.

Sliver suddenly heard the doorbell ring, making his eyebrows furrow in confusion. No one should be here this last at night, especially on a school night. He pushed himself out of his chair and stepped outside the office. There, he was met with Ethan, standing with a very angry look on his face.

"Ethan? What are you doing here?" The old man asked, sounding confused about but somewhat happy to see his grandson.

"Listen, here, old man, I don't know who the heck you are, but stay the hell away from my Sensei." Williams stated angrily, shoving his now damp hair out of his face.

Terry titled his head, staring at the young boy. He almost looked the same as he did when he came out of Elizabeth's stomach, with his dark brown eyes and his head of dark brown hair. He would recognized him anywhere, no matter where he was in the world.

"You really don't remember me, do you?" Sliver questioned, as the boy felt his anger replaced with confusion.

"Remember you? I don't even know you." Ethan replied.

"Actually, yes, you do."

"And how in the world would I know you?" He asked, venomously.

"Because I'm your grandfather on your father's side." The man answered. The boy felt his heart stop. No, he can't be his grandfather. He didn't even know he had one to begin with.

"No, you're lying. It can't be."

"But I am. My son, Matthew, is your father. He's been in Canada this whole time, partying and creating more businesses around his home state."

"Then why doesn't my own father know about my existence?" Ethan cried out before marching up closer towards him.

"He does, a little bit. I've been keeping taps on you and your family, ever since you and Elizabeth moved back to the Valley."

"I'm done talking to you. You and Kreese are gonna lose tomorrow at the tournament. I'll make sure that happens." He stated firmly, then turned around to make his way over to the front door to walk out.

"We'll see about that, Williams."
