In My Blood (Eli Moskowitz/Hawk FF) (Cobra Kai)

Chapter 6: Midnight Train Going Downhill

CHAPTER 6:

Zelena's POV

"Okay. Grandma said it'll take a little time to reconnect my body with my physical mind. I just need to be patient." I mutter to myself though I know it's a mental pep talk technically. I can feel my body though I have no actual power to move anything. I can't feel the ache or the burn I know rests in the fibers of my tissue and muscles and flesh from the accident. But I decide I should try to conjure up what it may feel like.

Rustling of-of- papers? I think- remove me from the odd lull of my conversation with myself and place me into the present. Footsteps drown out the papers accompanied with a shaky exhalation of breath and slightly muffled words. "So young. Need you. They're here for you. He- but the kid with a red- is still here. He needs a room- to you." The words go in and out, too muffled to completely catch but I mull it over. Like a puzzle, the blanks become filled in by the teetering line of prior knowledge, common knowledge, and personal assumptions.

'Someone needs me. They're here for me. "They're"- well at this point, I don't know who it would be. Possibly Miggy. His mom works here- but surely she'd have his ass by now for getting into a large scale brawl.

Possibly Tory. After the party incident, her and I have been rooming together at my house. She got space from Miggy there. Not to mention she just needed a safe space from home.

Though we have been on good terms, the circumstances of my situation exhume Robby from being at my bedside.

Maybe Sam? She could have been here already due to her battle with Tory. Tory fought hard and because she listens to Kreese, without mercy or rules. Sam may be here. I would be slightly surprised if she is. Her and I got into a little bit of a heated conversation over 'my choice of new friends'. I told her sometimes her and her dad were stuck in a hero complex that they painted good, misunderstood people to be evil.

Eli most definitely not here. He and I haven't spoken for months and have only seen each other at Cobra Kai practices. I avoided hang outs with Kai kids if he was invited because I know he would go to avoid being left alone to his thoughts. I had last seen him at Moon's party and even then, we didn't speak. The final time we spoke he told me I didn't know him and I was a weight holding him down. He told me to leave and as I do, I listened.

Demetri may be here but there's way less of a chance for both the fact he hates hospitals and we had also become estranged from our friendship- but at the party. He hadn't told me to leave like Eli had. I left on my own. He blabbered about all the personal things Eli told us in confidence just in spite and while I understood his pain at Eli, he became the bully just as Eli had. I advised him to walk away from the situation repeatedly and he 'turned' on me. I removed myself from the situation before it could get worse. All the peering eyes wanted a fight- a total destruction but I didn't.

Aisha would definitely be here. Although she has a lot on her plate- finding where she fits in Sam's life and the life of our fellow Cobras. She still doesn't realize her full worth. And the right people who know it will make room for her.

'He- but the kid with a red- is still here.' Red? A Red what? Miguel had been wearing a red long sleeve. So she must have meant him. The only other 'kid' with a red anything was possibly Tory who had rocked a red tank tucked into her black jeans and beneath her camo jacket. Sam had been wearing maroon. Robby had worn his favorite sky blue hoodie. She had said 'he' so it must be Miggy.

'He needs a room- to you.' The last phrase overstimulates my fatigued conscience, leaving a throb in its wake the harder I try to figure out who the nurse had been talking about. After all, Miguel hadn't been hurt bad enough to need a room unless something else happened after I fell.
