Do we belong here?

The next morning I woke up and yawned 

"Good morning" Robby chuckled, we had slept on the floor of a karate dojo but I didn't mind I just wanted to be near Robby I gave him a hug and sat up, we started to roll up the sleeping bag when we heard Kreese starting to practice. Robby and I walked out into the dojo 

"They rise" Kreese smirked when he saw the two of us "sorry you had to sleep on the floor" 

"I've slept in rougher places," Robby told him 

"Likewise," Kreese said, I, however, had never slept on the floor or anything worse "if you want some coffee, it's not great but it's hot" he pointed to his office 

"Thanks for letting us crash here," Robby said "just for the night" 

"You can stay as long as you like," Kreese told us "come here, maybe you'll learn something" he pulled Robby in front of the punching dummy, the door to the dojo opened and I saw Hawk, I walked over and tapped him on the shoulder 

"Oh hey Aella" he grinned 

"I uh, just wanted to say thanks for sticking up for me last night" I mumbled 

"Anytime," he said and I gave him a hug, we walked back into the dojo and his face dropped when he saw Robby "what the hell are you doing here" he spat walking up to him 

"Hold on a minute" Kreese stopped Hawk "Mr.Keene is our guest" Hawk looked him up and down, then he walked into the office with Kreese 

Robby and I went into the back room so he could pack up his things, Tory followed us 

"Quitting already?" Tory asked 

"I never joined in the first place," Robby said "I don't belong here"

"Oh so you're running away" she scoffed "that worked out well for you last time" 

"I'm not running away," he told her 

"Can we not do this right now?" I asked and they ignored me 

"I hated you for what happened to Miguel you know," Tory said softly 

"Tory..." I mumbled 

"I hated Sam LaRusso, I hated everyone, I hated myself the most" she confessed "but I didn't have the luxury of running away, Sensei Kreese taught me that if you take all the hate and you channel it" she punched and kicked a bag "it makes you stronger and it feels good Aella probably knows that better than anyone" did she always have to drag me into her little speeches 

"look, a bunch of us are getting together after class, you should come or you can run away again and no matter what you think Aella, you belong here you are a Cobra Kai" she left the room leaving Robby and me to think over what she had just said 

"Are you going to go?" Robby asked 

"Yeah, they told me about it a little while ago," I said, "I think it could be fun" I shrugged 

"Ok, I'll go," he told me and I smiled 

"Good" I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a kiss, I was so happy to have him back. "do you think we belong here?" I asked 

"I think we could, I don't think I can ever go back to Miyagi-Do," he said and I nodded, if he wasn't going back then I wasn't either I would stick by his side just like I had promised.
