•~3rd person P.O.V~•
Maya stayed in her bed for the rest of the night and then the next day as well. Miguel brought her food, comforted her when she cried, he even watched TV with her. He wasn't used to seeing Maya cry. She was always the strong one, she was always there for Miguel or her mom or Ya-Ya but Miguel knew he now had to be there for Maya.
"I didn't really have kid-friendly drinks before you two came around." Johnny chuckled a bit as he handed Maya a Pepsi. Johnny knew something was wrong with Maya, even if Carmen hadn't have told him about it, just by the way she looked and acted. She looked tired and miserable, usually, she looked perfect every day. She always dressed nicely with jewelry and some makeup, she never looked like she wore a lazy outfit.
But now, she wore a red hoodie, which he knew was Miguel's, and leggings. Her hair was piled on top of her head, Aisha told him that was a messy bun, and her cheeks were a blotchy red. He could tell she'd been crying.
"What's up, Little Diaz?" Maya opened the can of Pepsi and took a small sip of it. She didn't know why her mom told her she should talk to Johnny about it, but she also felt like she needed to since he was practically her dad already.
"You know there was a party at my friend's house? All of Cobra Kai went." Johnny nodded slowly.
"Yeah, Miguel told me." She nodded.
"Well, I was drinking and this guy slipped something into my drink, and he..." Maya stopped, staring at the table in front of her. Why was it so uncomfortable to say rape? "He sexually assaulted me." Johnny felt his body go stiff. Someone had done that to his student, and at that, his Little Diaz.
"What?"
"He said Miyagi Do had to get back at Cobra Kai." Johnny watched, his heart aching, as Maya's shoulders shook, a tear plopping on the table.
"I'm sorry, Maya. It's not your fault, we can talk to LaRusso and find out who it was and I'll beat the shit out of him." Maya wiped her cheek and grinned at Johnny.
"Thank you, Johnny." Johnny felt obligated to hug her, but he also wanted to. Maya was practically the daughter he never had but always wanted.
"Hey Dad-" Maya looked up as the two pulled away, seeing Robby. Robby saw Maya, she looked so upset but who wouldn't after last night? "Maya, you alright?" Maya nodded slowly. "Hawk doesn't deserve you anyways." Johnny looked at Maya.
"What did Hawk do?"
"We were secretly dating but then Demetri told everyone that apparently he was dared to date me." Maya gulped, shrugging, whenever she spoke about Hawk she could feel the necklace underneath her hoodie even more.
"I could tell you two were dating, I don't know how no one else did." Johnny chuckled a bit.
"Well, I'm gonna go, I'll see you guys later."

The first day of school was usually such a great day for Maya. There would be new kids and new friends, and she could show off her new school clothes and jewelry, but she wore a simple white hoodie, flared leggings, and white converses. Anyone who didn't know Maya would probably think she wanted to wear a comfortable but still a bit dressy outfit. Anyone who did would know she was upset.
She walked with Miguel, who promised to be by her side unless Hawk was there, and then he told her she could stay with Tory or Aisha. As Maya and Miguel met with Aisha, Maya stared at the ground. Aisha wore black converses and Miguel wore red Air Forces. When she looked up, she saw a red mohawk not too far away.
"Miggy." He looked up and saw Hawk coming into the school. "I'm gonna go to first hour." Miguel nodded.
"Okay, I'll be there in a second." Maya nodded and walked to the English class that Maya, Miguel, and Hawk shared. She knew Hawk had gotten in because they'd all filled out their schedules together. She walked into the classroom, and sat down in the middle of the classroom but put her backpack in the seat next to her so Miguel would have a seat. Miguel came into the room with Hawk a few seconds before the bell rang. Miguel moved Maya's backpack and sat down beside her, Hawk sat beside him.
"Don't talk to her," Miguel whispered to Hawk who nodded slowly.
Maya put in her headphone as the assistant principal started talking on the intercom. She didn't hear Miguel and Hawk talking about how Miguel had kissed Sam the other night. The teacher started handing out sheets of "get to know me" papers when the teacher saw Maya's earbuds.
"Take your earbuds out please." Maya sighed, doing as she was told and pulling out a pencil for herself and Miguel. She knew he didn't pack any.
"Hey, what...You're not supposed to be in here! No! No! Give that back!" Maya heard two people struggling. She glanced at Miguel who shrugged. "Ow! You're not allowed to-" The assistant principal stopped.
"Samantha LaRusso. You know what you did, and now you're gonna pay for it. I'm coming for you, bitch!" Tory exclaimed, Maya immediately felt worried. She knew there'd be a fight, but over what? What had Sam done? The bell rang and Maya followed Miguel until he stopped behind Sam.
"I saw what you did at the party. You kissed Miguel." There was a chorus of oohs, Maya looked at Miguel and then Sam and then Robby. She was disappointed in Miguel and Sam, she felt so bad for Tory and Robby. She knew they loved their partners a whole lot.
Suddenly, Tory swung. She landed a kick in Sam's stomach which landed her against Hawk who pushed her back to Tory.
"Get back in there!" He shouted.
Robby pushed Tory off of Sam, when Tory grabbed Robby to get him away from Sam, he twisted her around and pushed her away again.
"Get off of her!" Miguel shouted, grabbing Robby and throwing him to the ground.
"Miguel, stop it!" Maya shouted. Robby was in the right, he was only trying to diffuse the situation.
"Go, Maya!" Miguel yelled, Maya, nodded and ran. She didn't know where she was going, she just knew that Miguel was protecting her so she'd do what she was told. She finally came to a hallway, which was filled with Cobra's who lay groaning on the ground.
"Maya Diaz." Maya spun around and saw him. Him. The boy. The boy who'd ruined her life. The boy who'd changed her completely. "That's you, right?" The boy smirked, throwing a punch. Maya blocked it, turning and kicking him in the stomach.
He held his stomach, rolling on the ground, Maya knew he wouldn't be there for long so she ran. By this time, she got to the main area again and saw Tory and Sam still fighting. Maya felt someone pull her shoulder and as she was spun around she saw Demetri.
"Maya we need to-" Maya pushed him away. "What the hell?!" Maya only felt more angry when he yelled this.
"You think you can embarrass me in front of everyone and then try and get me to help you?!" She punched him, causing him to hold his nose, she then spun around and kicked him to the floor. She watched as he ran, Hawk running after her, only a few moments later she watched Sam kick Tory over a bit of stairs, then she saw Miguel. She ran up the steps to get to him, and when he looked up he saw Maya. Her chest heaving as she looked at Robby on the floor.
I wasn't taught the difference between mercy and honor, and I paid the price for it. If I'm extra hard on you, it's only because you have the potential to be better than I ever was. You want that, don't you?
Maya watched Miguel lower Robby's arm and mutter something. Maya felt as if someone was sitting on her chest, it was getting harder and harder to breathe by the second. Suddenly Robby stood up, kicking his lower leg, and then kicking him in the face. Maya watched in horror as Miguel fell over the railing.
"Miggy!" Maya shouted, looking over the railing, he'd fallen on the last staircase. Maya ran down all the steps, her lungs felt as if they were collapsing. "Miggy please, please, please, be okay." Maya cried, dropping to her knees.
"Step back, ma'am." A police officer said Maya felt someone pull her into their chest. When she realized it was Hawk, she didn't even care, she cried, she cried so hard. So much had happened in the past three days, and now Maya had lost her best friend. She didn't care that people stared as she cried, all she could do was beg. Beg whatever gods there were that he would be okay.
"Miggy..." She cried as Hawk held her tightly against his chest.
"Maya Diaz!" Someone yelled, and she pulled away, an ambulance and her mom were outside. "Come with us!" Maya quickly followed them as they wheeled Miguel outside.
"You'll be okay Miggy, you'll be okay." She wasn't sure if she was saying it to him or if she was saying it to comfort herself.
"Oh my god, Maya." Carmen pulled her daughter into her chest, but then Maya pulled away. That was when Carmen realized her breaths were short but deep.
"Mama." Maya fell into her mother's arms, the world around her becoming black.
"We need another ambulance, please!"
