-Before Cobra Kai-

Torrence sits at her apartment, her phone rings as she's watching tv. "Hello?" "Torrence?" Mrs. Moskowitz asks from the other side. "Mrs. Moskowitz, is everything okay?" "Torrence, we need you." She says. "I'll be over as quick as I can." Torrence states, hanging up and starting to walk out. She reaches Eli's in a little under half an hour, knocking. Mrs. Moskowitz opens the door. "He's in his room." Torrence walks inside, immediately going to his room. "Eli?" "Go away." He sobs. "No, Eli, I'm coming in." She opens the door, walking to him. "Eli, come here." She sits on the bed, opening her arms.

He shuffles to her, burying his head in the crook of her neck. "What's going on?" She asks. "My mom called the school." He cries, wrapping his arms around her. "I'm so sorry, babe." She mumbles, holding him tighter. "They're gonna make an announcement." He says, looking up and wiping his face. "They can't do that. It's only gonna make things worse." She says, shaking her head. "I know! Don't you think I know that!" He shouts, pulling away from her. "I'm so sorry, Eli." "Stop saying you're sorry!" She sighs, shaking her head again. They lie down, curled together.

-Today-

Torrence lies on the table near Eli's, the tattoo gun buzzing incessantly as she gets a snake tattooed from her knee down her calf. It hurt like a bitch, but she wasn't gonna show it. "There you go, brother." The guy says after he finished changing Eli's mohawk on his hawk. After Torrence's tattoo is done, she reaches for her wallet. "Nobody with me pays for tattoos." Eli states, pulling her wallet from her hands. "Oh shit, really? I saved up for this." Torrence says. "You're good." Rico says. "At least let me give you something." She says, taking her wallet back. "Forty." He says, looking at her.

She pays him before Moon comes over, looking at the tattoo above Eli's heart. A moon. "Did you get that for me?" She asks slightly disbelieving. "Maybe." He answers. She kisses him as Torrence pulls her jeans back on. "Hey, asshole twins. Grab my bag. We're out." Eli says to Chris and Mitch who had sat and stared at Torrence's legs. "So, Torrence, I was wondering-" Chris starts when Eli turns to face him. "Hit on Torrence and I'll kick your ass." He growls, knowing Johnny and Torrence are together and he likes them together because this is the happiest he's seen Torrence. Ever.

"I can handle it." Torrence says, patting Eli's shoulder. "Hit on me and my boyfriend will kick your ass." She states, kissing Eli's cheek and hugging Moon before walking off. At the next class, they're all sitting, surrounding Johnny and Kreese. They spar for a moment. "You're a little rusty, Sensei." Johnny says to Kreese. They get into a position with Johnny practically in a headlock. "Okay, pay attention. He's got my neck, I've got his elbow. If I try to break out..." Johnny moves and Kreese's arm comes up. "I dig in and I put him to sleep." He says. "If I go for his ribs..." He hit Kreese's ribs.

"He completely exposes his chest." Kreese explains, lifting a knee to Johnny's chest. "Two difficult choices. What do you do?" Johnny asks. Everyone stays silent, not knowing what to do. Johnny then kicks Kreese's leg out from under him, both toppling to the ground. "You damn the consequences and you power forward." He says. "You may get hurt, but nobody wins by doing nothing." Kreese says. "You make a choice. You make a move. You go... all in." Johnny states. Miguel perks up a bit as does Torrence. Maybe she will just ask him and won't wait for him to ask her.

She changes after class, wearing shorts so she doesn't have as much fabric on the new tattoo. "Holy shit, that's badass." Aisha says. "Got it done the other day. Cobra Kai for life, baby." She fist bumps Aisha. "I also love how confident you are. You're not worried about people seeing your scars?" She asks as Tory comes over. "Woah, Torrence, didn't know you did that." She motions to the girl's legs. "I don't anymore. It was just a rough patch for a while. I've got a really great support system now." Torrence smiles, thinking about Johnny. "Ooh, you mean the boyfriend who isn't a boyfriend yet?" Tory questions with a smirk.
