I Know That You Got Daddy Issues and Blood, Sweat and Tears (Chapter 23)



Derek's POV:

4:20 A.M.

This isn't right.

I mean, it feels wonderful, like it always did.

But Jade isn't right in her mind at this moment.

It is bad, like taking advantage of that.

So, I do what's correct, I caress her cheek and separate from her.

"You don't love me anymore?" she asked, with her eyes a little watered, she was pouting.

"I do, Jade" I answered, "I'm hopelessly in love with you" I gave her a reassurance smile.

"So, why do you reject me?" she asked, with her voice trembling, and I feel how my heart clenches.

"I'm not rejecting you, princess" I kissed her forehead.

"It looks like that's what you are doing!" she screamed at me.

"Jade" I looked at her eyes, she was hurt.

"Am I that unlovable?" some tears dropped, "Am I not good enough for anybody?"

"You are lovable, and I'm the proof of that" I caressed her cheek, she was shorter than I, "You are more than anybody can wish for," I sighed, "you are more than I deserve" I kissed her forehead once more, "you are gorgeous, in the outside and in the inside" she looked at me with her golden eyes, "you want to know how I know that?" I asked, and she nodded softly, "because you are Jade Silver, and if someone can't see and appreciate that..." my voice broke at the end, result of the knot in my throat, "it's because they aren't worth your time"

'Go ahead and cry, little girl' my dad's voice sound in my head, I shook my head, making those bad thoughts disappear.

"Derek..." she said with a hint of sadness, "I want you" she sobbed, "you want me?"

"Jade, I don't want you" her face visibly broke, "because there is a line between the love and the desire" she gasped-sighed, "and I love you" once again, she closed the space between us, catching my lips with her soft ones.

She needs me, as long as my heart beats, I will stay by her side, loving her.

We broke the kiss and her eyes were shining, I smiled at her and put the spray cans in my bag, we had a couple of gifts missing.


Sam's POV:

10:21 A.M.

I'm gonna kill Derek Archer.

I'm squashing my phone with the famous Twitter account of gossip in the screen.

Jade Silver is back with her old toy-boy?

Looks like the famous thespian was on a date with her ex-boyfriend, the exquisite model Derek Archer, a total heart break! And for both sides must I say! Someone as handsome as Derek with the luscious Jade, completely bi culture!

So, I completely ruined Jade's hope and trust in Tory, and now the pretty boy walks into the picture? And he steals Jade away from me? You know what? I'm done! I'm freaking done, I'm gonna go back with Miguel and that's it.

He will come back, he always does, he is like a loyal dog, he plays around, but ends up returning.

Would you prefer dating Derek or Jade? Maybe both? Kiss or f*ck? Polyamory relationship? Hotel? Trivago.

"What a stupid Twit" I mumbled.

My phone starts to ring, and the contact Miguel pops up, I answer.

"Already missing me?" I ask, they are a lot of grunts in the background of the phone call.

"Miguel? What the hell is going on?"


Tory's POV:

10:49 A.M.

I walk into the dojo, I decided to stop drowning into my misery and kick some asses, and saying chaos aren't enough words to describe this mess.

Everywhere you look at, there is a fight.

The Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students are here, and it's a catastrophe, there is blood, sweat and even some tears from the hugged twins.

Everyone is fighting everyone, beating the living crap out of everyone, and basically everyone trying to kill everyone that crosses their path.

"Somebody would care to explain what the hell is going on?!" I screamed, everybody turned their attention to me.

"You vandalized our dojo!" Samantha screamed at me.

"What?" I came closer to her, "I didn't!" I screamed back.

"Sure, sure, you did it a long time ago with Hawk, and he is another liar!" she tried to punch me, but I ducked.

"So, that's why you also decided to ruin my cars!" Sensei Silver's voice was heard, but silenced by a punch to his jaw, courtesy of Daniel LaRusso.

"Don't even start talking about cars when mines are worst!" he screamed at him.

I have two options, enter this fight and win, or runaway like a pussy.

I kick Sam in the chest, making her fall backwards to the mat.

"Now you don't have your little bodyguard to protect you!" she yelled and swept my legs, I fell hard to the ground.

"That psycho karate girl could have helped you out, y'know" I hear Demetri's voice, accompanied by Kyler's fist impacting his face.

It's true, though, Jade will probably already kick their asses without sweating, but she isn't here, so I need to figure this out by my own.

I stand up and punched Samantha in her right eye, she punched back, hitting me in the jaw, I elbowed her face and kicked the back part of her knee, she growled and stomp on my feet, she grab me and started to punch me in the ribs, somehow I escaped and kicked her stomach, rotate 180° and with my ankle impacted her face, she spit some blood in the mat.

Someone grabbed me from behind, I struggled trying to break free.

"Oh, no, you are not going anywhere" Hawk's voice sound in my ear.

"I don't need your help, traitor!" Sam screamed, punching him in the nose.

"What the hell, Sam? I already said I was sorry" he touched his now bleeding nose.

"You trashed the Miyagi dojo the first time! You disrespected everything that my dad and Mister Miyagi believed in!" she shouted.

"We are on the same damn team now, Samantha!" he shouted back, "Grow up!" he released me from his grip.

"You are a filthy liar, if it wasn't because of that letter and videotape that we didn't know existed, you should have lied to us for the rest of our lives!" she tried to punch him, but he ducked.

"Sam! Stop that!" Miguel came from behind, bleeding, "oh, hey, Tory" he greeted.

"I suppose our not date tomorrow is cancelled..." I mumbled.

"Tory, be honest with me" he sighed, "you vandalized Miyagi-Do?" he asked.

"No, I haven't left my house in two days" I sighed, "believe me, I wanted to see no one"

"Yeah, and why's that?" Sam asked, with a smug smile.

"Jade dumped me" I shrugged.

"So, if it wasn't you, who was it?" Hawk asked.

"I don't know, but I never knew about a plan of vandalizing rival dojos" everybody stopped fighting, even the grown-ups.

"We never planned on destroying expensive cars" Miguel spoke.

"But if you thought that we had something to do with the destruction of Miyagi-Do, you will want to pay back to us" Sensei Kreese talked.

"No" Daniel LaRusso said, "we will forgive you, not start a war"

"As much as I don't believe some bullshit that LaRusso says, I agree with this" Johnny spoke and now everyone was confused, me too, being honest.

"I will never let them vandalize Miyagi-Do" Robby said, wiping off some blood, "it helped me out in some way"

"But it was clear!" Sam yelled, "it clearly said 'Cobra Kai rules' it couldn't be a coincidence!"

"My cars were sprayed with Miyagi-Do signs" Sensei Silver spoke, after being quiet.

"Maybe some other dojo tried to make us look bad to each other?" I suggested.

"It could be possible" Sam said, hating to admit that I was right.

"Wait a damn minute" Hawk spoke, again, "why the hell hot-Silver isn't here?"

"She is in New York by now, probably" I spoke, hurting me.

"Is there a possibility that she trashed Miyagi-Do?" Demetri asked, Jade? Vandalizing?

"Why would she do that?" I asked.

"She is a cobra, revenge maybe?" Demetri said.

"It can't be possible, we had a connection, she wouldn't do that" Sam said offended, I rolled my eyes.

"Even if she did that, how she can made it by her own?" Robby asked.

"She wasn't alone" I spoke, and everyone glanced at me, "she is with a friend, I met him"

"But the two of them could have done that?" Demetri spoke, "that's physically impossible"

"Jade is wealthy on her own, she could have hired people" Daniel said.

"And what about my cars?" Sensei Silver asked, annoyed, of course, they were incriminating his daughter.

"There was any reason why she would be mad at Cobra Kai?" Johnny asked, looking at our senseis.

The two of them remained in silence.

"What happened?" Sam asked, annoyed.

"Jade had her reasons..." I mumbled.

"Do you think she will be that mad?" Demetri asked.

"She definitely had them" I sighed.

"Let me see if I understand, she hired people to trash cars and dojos because she was mad?" Hawk said, and we nodded.

"What the hell did you do to her?" Sam asked, choking me against a wall.

"Sam! Leave her, it is what we all did" Daniel spoke, Sam let go of me and I coughed.

"What do you mean?" Sensei Kreese asked.

"Sam doped her!" Chris said, "and tried to seduce her!" everybody gasped.

"Robby told me he was in love with Tory!" she blurted out, "I tried to help!"

"It escaped from my mouth!" he screamed, "I was confused when I heard how Tory was using her!"

"Yeah, but that's why Sensei Silver promised me money!" I yelled, as well.

"Because I knew that Jade was capable of more than all your pussy asses!" he defended himself, "and don't tell me you didn't know about that Robinson girl, that tried to sneak in here, and flirt with her fake-but-she-thought-was-real-girlfriend!"

Shit, this was a mess of lies and manipulation, and everything because we wanted to use Jade over a stupid karate tournament? She had every right to be mad, now I see what she had been through.

"Hey, look what just arrived" Kyler said with a letter in his hand, "It says 'Mister Terrence Silver, thank you for using our services, we already have the money for the work, it was transferred from the bank account number 5673420092 of savings by the quantity of 45,000 thousand dollars' holy shit" he laughed softly, probably because of the face of our sensei.

"That girl is something special, what a shame" Johnny chuckled.

"She really played for both teams" Mitch said to Chris in a soft voice, pun intended.

"It has your sign and everything" Kyler said.

He took the paper from Kyler's hand.

"You are your fathers' daughter, Jade" he sighed.

"We are a bunch of morons" I said and everyone nodded.

"So, let me get this straight" Daniel said, "we were in a karate scam that your daughter organized?" he asked annoyed.

"And there aren't any proofs that she did it, as they lead to me" sensei Silver added.

"And you, dad" Sam said, checking her phone, Daniel took it harshly from her hand.

"The same letter arrived at Miyagi-Do, but with my name on it..." a loud beep in his pocket made him look at his cellphone, "and now there are 45,000 thousand dollars less in my account" he sighed frustrated.

Third-person POV:

10:57 A.M.

A loud car door slam made them turn their heads, the door was open and there she was, clapping and grinning like a maniac.

"Guess you aren't the airheads I thought you were" she said with a dangerous flash in her green eyes, "sorry for underestimating you, my dears" she closed her arms, still smiling like a child in Christmas.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Daniel asked, stepping closer to Jade, "You think that because you are famous you are untouchable, Silver?"

"Oh, no" she chuckled, "I'm untouchable because I'm a smart girl"

"You think so?" Johnny said taking out his phone, "I could record you, admitting that you organized the scam, this smartphone does those things" he smiled.

"Sure, go ahead" she shrugged.

Johnny chuckled, and tried to turn on his phone, it wasn't working.

"What's the matter with this crap? I plugged it yesterday!" he said, getting more desperate.

A male chuckle was heard, but it didn't belong to the voice of any member of the dojos.

"Oh, dear" he stopped hiding in the shadows from behind them, "you look so damn desperate it's hilarious" he walked to Jade and put an arm over her shoulders, they were smirking together, they were both using black jeans and plaid dark shirts, with black t-shirts under them, both wearing combat boots, they looked like bad boys without even trying, everyone was surprised by the presence Derek and Jade had.

"How did you...?" Sam muttered.

"What's the prob? Isn't working?" Jade asked with a smug smile.

"What the hell you did to my smartphone?" he asked angrily at her, walking towards her, Derek protectively put his arm in front, pushing Johnny.

"Back off" he said, glaring at him, Johnny cussed under his breath and walked away from the duo.

"Mine is dead too" Miguel was heard complaining, everybody took out their phones, they weren't working.

"Mine was working just a second ago!" Demetri complained, throwing a tantrum.

"What the hell is this, Jade?" Sam asked, getting closer and glaring at Derek.

"I have another farewell gift for you" Jade said, ignoring her question, letting out a paper, extending it to Sam, "read it aloud"

Sam took the paper aggressively from her hand.

"Let's see this thing, 'Dear committee, greetings. I'm writing this to make you rethink your decision about the All-Valley Karate Tournament, karate is a good way of life, learn how to defend yourself, defend your loved ones. Unfortunately, some dojos, like Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang and Cobra Kai, have taken this the wrong way, having a non-sport behavior, incurring into vandalism, assault and even private property damage just to damage another dojo, I'll attach photographs about this alarming issue. I hope you ban these dojos from the upcoming tournament. Greetings, a worried citizen.' you gotta be kidding", she had anger flashing in her blue eyes.

"You have two options" Jade said smirking, "I send this shit to the committee, and you are banned from the tournament, and others, leaving your dojos with the most horrible image ever, or, you quit the tournament and the upcoming ones, train in peace, and use karate as what it should be, a sport and a martial art".

"So now you are blackmailing us?" Daniel asked incensed.

"It isn't blackmailing" Derek spoke, "karate and martial arts are based in honour and respect, you are giving bad teachings to the young generations" he said pointing to the twins, "look at those children, what will they give to this world if the only thing they have in their brain are these sadistic teachings and experiences?" he sighed heavily, "so, no, it's a deal, for the good of everybody in the valley" he crossed his arms, making that he look intimidating.

Everybody tensed up visibly, knowing that he was right.

"Decide quickly, or I decide for you" Jade said, snatching the paper from Sam's hand, "and believe me, you are not gonna like it" Derek looked at Jade, sending her a message with his eyes, Jade sighed, "Derek wanted to give you the chance to decide, I wanted to see you getting banned" she shrugged.

"I have another option" Daniel said, "I give each of you any car that you want from the dealership"

"Dad, I don't think that they..." Sam tried to talk.

"Hush, Sam" he reprimanded her, "what do you say? We have beautiful BMW's"

Jade and Derek scoffed in sync.

"Dude, no offense, but, probably we have more money than you" Jade said annoyed.

"I knew you will be one of those men that thinks that money solves everything" Derek rolled his eyes.

"That is so not an option" Jade said with a disgusted face.

"Told you so" Sam muttered.

"Come on, guys, you can sell it or something, just go and let us live our lives" Hawk said.

"Nope, thanks but not" Derek said, "the way you managed the situation and made that others suffer is dangerous" he said looking briefly at Tory, and later at Jade.

"Hey, Nichols, why so quiet?" Jade said, teasing her.

"I have nothing to add into this mess" Tory mumbled, not looking at Jade.

"The cat ate the tongue you lie with?" Jade chuckled slightly, walking closer to her.

"Leave her alone" Miguel said, looking into the deep green eyes of Jade.

"Or what will you do?" she said, smiling smugly.

"I wouldn't like to hit a girl" he said.

"Oh, you wouldn't stand a chance, pretty boy" she said, "you are way too weak for doing it"

"I won't have a problem hitting a girl" Hawk said.

"And I won't have a problem hooking up with your girlfriend, Parrot" Jade said and everybody had surprised looks.

"You what?" Hawk asked with a trembling voice.

"I hooked up with her" Jade shrugged, "damn, she knows how to use her mouth" she said, biting her lip and licking it in a seductive manner.

"Oh, shit" Mitch mumbled, getting a little turned on by Jade's action.

Derek chuckled, knowing exactly what really happened.

"What are you laughing at, Prince Harry?" Tory asked.

"Prince Harry? Never heard that before" he shrugged, "it's none of your business why I laugh"

"Derek is laughing because he was there" Jade answered, crossing her arms, Derek licked his lip and winked at Tory.

"I'm gonna kill you both" Hawk said, trying to punch Derek, he ducked easily.

"Hey, Moon!" Jade screamed, Moon entered the dojo, "see what I told you? He hasn't changed a bit" Hawk had a surprised face, Moon only shook her head.

"Really, Hawk?" she was at the border of tears.

"Really, Moon!?" he screamed at her, "You slept with these assholes while we were dating!?"

"I didn't!" she screamed back, "Jade gave me the idea, because she told me that you threatened her, and you were becoming a bully again!"

"I-I'm not" he babbled.

"I just saw it, with my own eyes!" she pointed at Derek and Jade, "you were about to beat them up without even asking if it was true!" she sighed, "I'm tired of this, I told you that I will not date a bully, and I'm sticking to it" she turned in her heels and headed out of the dojo.

"Moon! Wait! I'm sorry!" he screamed, leaving the dojo, going after her.

Jade and Derek smirked and waved softly at the door.

"Ouch, do you think they can work that out?" she asked sarcastically.

"Don't know, don't care" Derek answered smiling at her, before both of them started laughing.

"I love being a dark Cupid" Jade laughed harder.

Every member of Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang were glaring at them.

"You are a lot of killjoys" Derek said, they stopped laughing.

"Do you think it is funny, messing with people's feelings?" Miguel asked irritated.

"Yeah, that's why we were laughing our asses off" Jade answered bluntly, chuckling.

"And what if those were your feelings?" he asked, instantly realizing his mistake.

"Oh, dear, that already happened, I'm returning the favor" Jade said with a sinister smile.

"That is a no to the cars?" Daniel said, Jade glared at him, "I suppose it is..." he mumbled.

"Decide or I decide" Jade said, now sounding madder.

"That's unfair! How we are supposed to decide right now!" Demetri yelled.

"Ten" Jade said, "nine" she started the countdown.

"Wait!" Terry interrupted, "you proved your point, Jade" he sighed, "I'm sorry".

"Eight" she rolled her eyes, "seven".

"Miss Silver, we understand, you don't need to do this" Kreese said, "we are sorry, all Cobra Kai".

"Do you realize the fake apologies are evident, right?" Derek said, "six".

"They truly are. Five" Jade clenched her jaw.

"Jade, I'm sorry for doping you" Sam said, "and for break your relationship apart"

"Don't give yourself that much credit" Jade pointed at her, "it was broke since the start. Four" Tory looked at the floor ashamed.

"Man, make a decision, you are banned, or you go, easy. Three" the green-eyed model said.

"Two" the Thespian spoke, the bell at the door sounded.

"I have another idea, bitch" a female voice spoke, it was more mature than the rest of the girl's voices.

"Amanda?" Daniel spoke.

"What are you doing here, Mrs. LaRusso?" Chris asked.

"Stop the games, Silver" she spoke, walking towards Jade, "the cops might be here in a few minutes"

"Cops?" Jade scoffed, "Do you think I'm afraid?" she crossed her arms, "You have zero proofs against me".

"You think so?" Amanda mirrored her posture, "you are dumber than I thought" she said, pointing to a hidden microphone in her jacket.

"Nope, if someone is dumb here, that's you" the green-eyed girl chuckled, "I'll tell you a little secret, sweetie. All technological devices, no matter when they were created, they are completely useless here" Amanda opened her eyes wide.

"Sam, you never told me that!" she screamed at Sam.

"She wasn't in here when I texted you, my phone is dead now!" she screamed back.

"Aw, so sad" Jade said, faking a pout, "better luck next time" she winked at Sam, who involuntarily blushed, Jade smiled "do you miss the 45 grand so bad?"

Amanda slapped Jade, Derek immediately walked to her and sent a death glare to Amanda. Everyone gasped.

"You know nothing, bitch" she said with venom in her words.

"Don't you dare laid a hand on her, ever!" Derek screamed, but Jade just chuckled.

"What the fuck is so funny?" Sam asked, "Maybe I will need to erase that stupid smile from your face, just as mom did" Jade chuckled again, "speak, Silver, why you laugh?"

"Just the fact that we have public" she smirked and pointed at the door, a squad of police officers behind them, cuffs in hands, "good job, Mrs. L." she said with her well-known smirk.

"Oh, come on" she said, exhasperated, "you just enter when I slap the bitch?"

"And now you confessed you just hit a teenager, that isn't good for you, darling" Derek smirked, knowing exactly that that was how the plan was supposed to go.
