I then go into the hotel room, Sam and Devon visibly annoyed with the boys, judging by their attitude and the looks on the faces.

"Not a very smart gamble, boys." Sam says to the boys.

"Yeah. Somebody said it wasn't gonna be a gamble." Demetri turns to Robby.

"I didn't wanna get involved. I told you to stau away from Cobra Kai. It's so simple." Robby replies, defending himself.

"If it's so simple, why don't you follow your own advice?" Hawk snaps back, clearly amused by Robby's hypocrisy.

"What are you talking about?" Robby asks.

"We all saw you talking to Tory." Hawk states.

"Come on, he's literally his girlfriend. Do you expect him not to talk to her?" I reply, defending Robby.

"Of course you're defending him." Hawk says.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I snap back. I clench my jaw.

"You and Kwon's non stop flirting maybe?"

"He's the one who won't leave me alone, it's literally not my fault."

"Guys, stop fighting. It's not like Kiara and Kwon are together. Anyway, back to what we were talking about. Robby's just dealing with her decision, same as the rest of us." Miguel replies, attempting to defuse the bickering.

"I wouldn't say that exactly. You knew Kreese came to Tory." Sam blurts out and Robby turns to look at her. Devon turns to look at Robby and furrows her brows.

"What?" "You did?" Miguel says, clearly annoyed with a hint of confusion.

"I mean I knew Kreese went to Tory, yeah, but it was before her mom died. He was trashing Miyagi Do, saying she wasn't gonna have a fair shot. She told him to get lost, come on, I didn't know she was gonna do this." Robby states.

I honestly cant handle this drama anymore, it's been like what 5 hours? We've already had like 500 arguments, I'm just gonna go since this doesn't involve me.

"You guys are arguing too much for my own good, since this has nothing to do with me, I'm gonna leave." I blurt out, they all stare at me and Sam nods and then I go to leave the room and just have a wonder around the hotel.

I decide to go back to the aquarium and stare at the fish for a little while, I see Tory and walk over to her.

"Hey." I nonchalantly say.

"Hi." She replies bluntly."

"I get why you did it." I blurt out.

She turns to look at me with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"That makes one person." She smiles, but there's not really much happiness behind her smile.

"I just think you should've at least told Robby though, he's going crazy about you. He really cares about you, Tory."

"I know, it's just, I'm not here to deal with that right now. I'm here to fight, it's what my mom would've wanted."

"I get that, but you can't avoid him forever." Maybe I should take my own advice.

"If you really wanna stay with him, then you need to work things out with him, the more you avoid it for, the worser it's gonna get."

She looks at me, smiles softly, "Thank you." She gives me a short, warm hug.

"Anytime Tory, just because we aren't on the same team, doesn't mean we aren't friends anymore." I smile and walk away.

I then lay in bed, thinking about what I said to Tory. I'll give Kwon a chance, but it's probably gonna end up like how every other thing I have with someone does. We talk for a long time, I really like them, I get bored, I ghost them. But it's gonna feel wrong talking to Kwon, I just ghosted Piper and she keeps spam texting me and I have my read receipts on. I feel horrible for being like this, but honestly I just gain and lose feelings quickly. I don't wanna break Kwon's heart, so I'll try and be honest with him from the start.

im sorry that kwon isn't in this chapter guys!! i just wanted this chapter to show that kiara's gonna consider giving kwon a chance and how she's quite avoidant when it comes to romance this is somewhat a filler chapter but imo is somewhat also important!! please vote if you liked this and comment any feedback for me or if you liked it, negative or positive, i would love feedback 💞 follow akwritexox on tiktok for more updates and follow me for updates aswell !!
