Season 4

Chapter 7

Hawk's eyes slowly opened and his head throbbed as blinding white lights scorched his eyes. It took him a while to recollect his thoughts. Where the he? What the hell was going on? His head was pounding and he could hear a faint ringing sound. When his eyes finally adjusted to the blinding light, he realised that he was in a hospital room, and then everything came rushing back to him. Coyote Creek. The Cobras. Getting knocked out. Wait... Miguel! He had been right beside Hawk when he got knocked out! What had the Cobras done to Miguel, because Hawk already knew that it was a LOT worse than what they had done to him. Hawk groaned in pain as he sat up frantically and looked around for Miguel.

"He's okay." A voice came from the other side of the room. Hawk spun around to see Moon sitting on a chair at the side of the room.

"M-m-moon?" Hawk stammered.

"Miguel's fine. He's in the room next door." Moon said. Hawk relaxed a little bit, but then confusion and nervousness took over.

"That's... that's good." Hawk murmured. "What are you doing here?"

"Sam called me." Moon replied. "She told me what happened. She told me everything that's been going on with you over the past couple of months. You broke Demitri's arm?"

Hawk blushed. That's right. The Hawk himself blushed. Moon was the only person in the world who could make him do so.

"Yeah, um... not my best moment." Hawk stammered. "I was pressured by the Cobras and Kreese and I got caught up in the moment, and..."

"She also told me how you're risking your life and fighting against Cobra Kai now." Moon continued. Hawk looked up at her gorgeous face and he took a deep breath.

"Moon, I owe you an apology. I was an absolute jerk to you last year. I let my sudden change in personality get to my head, and I became a jackass."

Moon nodded slowly.

"So what's different now? What's changed?" She asked. Hawk then proceeded to tell his ex-girlfriend about everything that had happened to him under Kreese, and then after he left Kreese and rejoined Johnny and Miguel. Moon then filled him in on what she had been up to. They talked for nearly an hour before they lapsed into silence.

"So would ever consider, you know, maybe putting the past behind us and getting back together?" Hawk asked, rather hopefully. Moon raised an eyebrow.

"Hawk, you're hot. Hotter than anyone in the world. Badass. But you became a real jerk. What makes you think you still have a chance with me?" She asked. Hawk looked straight in her eyes when he answered...

"Because you sat here for an hour. You listened to me talk about me at most jackass moments - when I broke one of my closest friend's arm for God sake - and you didn't turn around and walk out." Hawk replied. Moon didn't speak for several moments. Hawk could feel sleep trying to drag him under but he forced himself to stay awake. If he ever wanted to get back together with her, they needed to patch things up soon. His eyes flickered open and closed and Moon noticed his exhaustion. Moon eventually stood up and walked over to him, kissing him softly on the lips.

"Get some rest, Hawk. We'll talk more later." She whispered. Hawk nodded and immediately fell back asleep.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Miguel's eyes snapped open. His whole body was throbbing in pain but he immediately remembered the events in the creek and his head snapped around, trying to figure out where he was. He calmed down considerably when he realised that he was in a hospital room, so clearly the fight was over. It wasn't his first time in a hospital room. Far from it, of course, after the school fight. Miguel tried to lift his limbs up but to his panic, his left arm wouldn't move. No! No way he was paralysed again! He looked down at his arm and almost laughed in relief; he couldn't move his arm because Sam was resting her head on it. How long had she been there? She was fast asleep and Miguel didn't want to wake her. She was still wearing her clothes from the Creek so he was guessing she hadn't gone home afterwards.
