CHAPTER 37:
Now or never.
Quinn

"You two deserve eachother."

"So I was never yours?" I asked and Robby whipped around, his eyes widening.

"And you were never mine?"

"Quinn, please, it's not like that."

"No," I shut him down, approaching him angrily.

Not anymore.

I'm tired.

I'm so tired of it all.

"You knew I had a crush on you, and you knew my mom had money. Was that it? Is that why when you got caught, you barely answered me? You lied to me? You would ask about Sam?"

"I needed you. I-I still need you-"

Liar.

"We're done," I exclaimed.

"Please, I've talked to your grandpa, he can make you understand-" As he went to grab my arm, I jerked away with a glare.

No more.

"We. Are. Done."

With a huff, Robby Keene left and now it was my turn to explain how I got so involved with him.

"You visited Robby?" Sam questioned.

"Yeah. . .after the mess, Robby asked me to be his girlfriend. He lied to me and said that you didn't show mercy, Miguel. He said you falling was an accident - that he had no choice. I-I aided him while he was on the run, but it was clear that he didn't like me that way. Atleast not for long. I'm really sorry, to the both of you," And I started to leave, understanding that they probably didn't want to see his accomplice again.

"Quinn, wait," Sam called out to me.

"We need your help."

"Well, this Christmas party is turning out to be ho-ho-horrible," Demetri sighed.

"Yeah Sam, I thought you said your parents would be out for the night. Why aren't we throwing a rager?" Chris questioned.

Oh you'll see.

"There's a keg on the way. It's just gonna be a few more minutes," Sam reassured them, but not doing a great job by standing up and nervously looking at the door.

"Can we atleast put on a Christmas special? I'll even watch that creepy one with the. . .elf dentist," Demetri made a face of disgust.

"Yeah, I'm that bored."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"That's it," Just as I predicted, we were met with immediate shock as the door opened and everyone started voicing their protests.

Can we really do this?

Are we too different?

"You gotta be kidding me."

"The hell are you doing here? This isn't a keg party. I bought this hat for nothing!" Mitch threw his sparkly green santa hat on the ground.

"Wait, you parent trapped us? Why?" Demetri realized.

"Look, I know we haven't always gotten along, but Cobra Kai is the bigger threat now. To all of us," San explained.

"We think we'd stand a better chance if we joined forces. Two dojos are stronger than one," Miguel summed up.

"Look, I know we've all done shitty things to eachother-"

"Yeah, like breaking Demetris' arm," Chris brought up, the memory still fresh.

Don't remind me.

"You guys started that fight!"

"After you almost got me fired."

"I hate your stupid face so much," Bert said the most middle school threat I've ever heard.

"If you died, I wouldn't even attend your funeral," Nathaniel shot back.

"This isn't gonna work," Miguel said in a shocked tone.

"It has to. We have one last chance to make things right. Alone, we're nothing. But if we work together, we have a shot. If we can't get over the past, the fighting will never end. We have to confront our enemies. This rivalry has to stop - one way or another."

"Quinn?" Miguel looked towards me, several eyes following.

"You mess with one of us, you mess with the whole. And they need to see that, even if it means hurting old friends or welcoming them back."
