gioia waited outside the medical room, too nervous to directly hear the news about her friend. he had been given half an hour for recovery time before he was required to return to the match.
"he's okay, he's okay. i'll have to tell bianca about the news, she's probably worried sick." carmen told her as she and yaya left the room. "good luck, i'll be watching from the stands."
gioia let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding. she smiled at carmen. "thank you."
when johnny came through the doors, he gave her a look of concern. "you okay?"
"other than the fact that you think my boyfriend is a traitor, i'm okay." gioia nodded with a hint of snarkiness in her tone.
"i don't-"
"you said he's picked larusso's side." gioia reminded him. "you and daniel need to put whatever you two have going on right now aside for the final match. for me. please?"
johnny groaned. "fine. but only for you."
"thank you." gioia sighed, finally able to step in and see her friend. "i'm so glad you're-"
"cut the shit. i know what you did." miguel hissed, cutting her off.
gioia's face morphed into a look of puzzlement. "what?"
"you've been friends with robby since he was in juvie for what he did me." miguel started. gioia's heart stopped, she had been trying to tell miguel this information for a month. she either kept getting interrupted, kept forgetting or thought it was the wrong time to mention it. "and you've been training at cobra kai for weeks."
the last part of his statement had caught her by complete surprise. how did he know about that?
"no-" gioia started.
miguel immediately cut her off. "why are you even trying to lie?!" he questioned. "i heard silver say it himself!"
"miguel." gioia spoke. she had nothing to say but the truth. "yes, i was friends with robby but i regret it! and i've been trying to tell you ever since the day you pulled the sprinkler prank. and i wasn't at cobra kai for weeks. it was-it was barely two and i-"
"who knows?"
"no one." she cried out. "eli and mickey know about robby, but no one knows about the training. and miguel, i swear-"
"get out." miguel shook his head.
"what?"
"gioia? get. out." he repeated, slower and more assertive.
