Heal the broken

Three

It was a week later since my time at the dojo. I hadn't gone to school since then. I just kept skipping and robby hasn't been home in four days so he had no clue. I got texts from miguel, eli, and even demetri but I never answered. I don't even know why I just did not want to see anyone. I got a call from robby for the first time in a while. Telling me he's sorry he wasnt there but I should get back to school before I ruined my life like he had.

I only told him I would cause he promised to come back soon. He said he got a really good job at this car shop and they paid super well. And that I shouldn't worry about rent. I decided to go to school and robby said he would call in and say we went to visit our sick grandma out of town.

I made it to school and It was lunch time. I was a little worried the guys wouldn't let me sit with them but I shouldn't have worried. Right as I walked in miguel saw me and told me to sit at his table and he would be there after he got his school lunch.

"Look whose here" this guy with a mohawk says smiling at me. At first I glare at him and then see that scar running from his nose down to his lip

"Eli?!" I ask shocked as hell

"It's hawk now" demetri says

"Here you can sit by me" he says pulling a chair from some other dudes table. They didn't seem to like that but "hawk" just stared them down and they looked scared.

"Okay what the fuck happened here you look so different" I say to him

"Yeah you like it?" He asks while smirking which just surprised me that this could even be the same person

"Yeah it's hot" I say knowing that could throw him back a little and I see that little eli blush come back. Making me satisfied with my affect on him. I knew he had a little crush on me as eli and just wanted to make sure this hawk guy did too.

"So quinn that asshole from the dojo is your dad huh" demetri says coming back from the bathroom

"What?" I say angry when I hear my dad brought up. Hawk could tell and tried to keep me calm by placing a soft hand on mine but I immediately threw it off now pissed off, thinking that demetri was mocking me

"Demetri you're fucking dead" hawk says standing up but I just pull him back down not liking that he was fighting my fight

Miguel comes over and see's the look on my face and immediately asks what was wrong

"I-I thought she knew I how could she not know her own father?!" Demetri says his hands up in defense looking between hawk and miguel

"Oh my god demetri you're a dumbass" aisha says

"Okay so who the fuck wants to tell me what's going on?" I ask and everyone just shuts up and looks at me. Hawk is the only one who decides to speak up

"Um miguel found out that sensei was your um. B-biological father" hawk says looking anywhere else but my eyes knowing it would hurt him to see me so confused and hurt

"How" is all I say

"He told me... after he heard your lastname at the dojo he called your mom and she just told him. Apparently you- you dont really look like him or your mom cause you got darker features from both your grandparents" miguel says

I just sit there in shock and right on time I get a call from robby. Everyone eyes my phone and then look back at me. I know they expected me to say who it was but I didn't bother. I just picked up my phone and bag and walked out

"Hey robby" I say trying not to sound sad

"Mom told me johnny called to ask if you were his. And I know you'll probably find out so I just wanted you to hear it from me" he says

I couldn't hold it in anymore. Weeks of tears pour out Of my eyes. Tears from being rude to demetri, tears for not letting anyone into my life, tears from feeling lonely and it was all my fault, tears from not seeing robby in almost a week, and tears from my dad. Who I had met but didn't know but he did. And he let me walk out.

"Quinn don't cry okay? Please. I'll be home soon and we can talk about it then"

"No robby you didn't get to tell me first. I had to hear it from some guys from his dojo" I yell. But he didn't respond so I kept going

"And why would mom call you to tell us who dad was? Thought you knew nothing about him like I did?!" I yell

"Quinn please just lets tal-" he tries saying but I hear another muffled voice from the background that cuts him off

"Robby! We need you to go get the keys for this car" the voice says

"I-I got to go but I'll be home tonight to talk okay?" He asks

"Whatever" I say and hang up throwing my phone at the floor.

"Quinn?" I hear someone say softly and then foot steps towards me

I turn around and see the guy I once knew to be eli. He tried to hug me but I pushed him off and those sad eli eyes came back for a split second and then went hard

"No I'm fine" I say

"Quinn you're clearly not fine" he says trying to hug me again and this time more force. I try to push him off but he was too strong. I'll admit this was the first hug I had in a long long long time. Too long because it automatically gave me this safe secure feeling. Which only made these tiny small feelings I had for him grow.
