Chapter 25: chapter 25: Tory
"I'm a friend of Jhon Lawrence, he told me about your condition, I came here with your mother to "help" you...
Miguel: What do you mean help me? You must be just a little older than me...
Carmen: Son, Gabriel came here to pay all the hospital bills...
Miguel: .....What? Are you really going to pay these bills? They are very expensive...
"Money is not a problem for me Miguel, all you need right now is to get well, to do your best, so you can get out of here as quickly as possible and go back to karate...
"Carmen: .... Gabriel, even though I thank you for this, please don't encourage my son to do this karate thing again, all of this only happened because he did karate...
"Is that true Miguel? Did all of this happen this way because you did karate? Or did you do something else? ...
Miguel: ..... Mom, he's right, all of this happened because I kissed Samantha at a party... while I was dating Tory, she saw all of this and caused all of this, but in the end I was the one who started all of this, I'm the one to blame for being here...
Carmen: !!!! ..... I understand...
"Don't worry Carmen, Miguel will get through this, and when he does he will go back to karate, people when they are young like to live, do crazy things, because that's what being young is, I'm like that too, you only live once, and in the end it's better to do what you want, knowing the consequences than not having done it, is regretting everything...
"Carmen: ..... I understand ...
about 2 hours later....
"Tory: Hey, you still haven't fixed the leak, "and you still haven't paid the rent, do you see how it works?"
Tory: Next week I'll have money, I'm working two jobs. "You already came up with that talk about your mother's diabetes last month." Dialysis Tory replied... "It's the same thing, my job here isn't to listen to excuses, it's to pay the rent. If I can't do my job, you can't live here."...
"Tory: Don't do that, okay? You know my mom she... "You're only not in reform school because of karate. I heard you got kicked out because of the fight..
"Tory: You don't know anything." I know that if you had a mud fight in the pool, you would sell a lot of tickets and you fought over a nerd... "If you had a real man by your side, things would definitely be a lot easier for you...
Tory: ...
"Who said she doesn't have a real man by her side? ..
"Tory!!!!" she turned around quickly and when she saw me her eyes widened, and she closed her hand tightly... WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
"😏 You're still a tigress in my beautiful ... "Who's this guy?, look at his size damn it " hey so you had someone right Tory 1 kid is a giant how cool, can I get in on this too? ....." I got close to him and gave him a good pohada on the nose ... "Get out of here you worm, if you come near Tory again to talk shit, I want both of your legs, now get out " .... THIS WILL NOT STAY LIKE THIS DAMN IT, "then he looked at Tory, IF YOU DON'T PAY ME THE RENT BY TODAY I'M GOING TO THROW YOUR SICK MOTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET DAMN IT. ..." he said as he left holding his nose full of blood ...
Tory:..... Do you know what you did? .... "I defended you" I said...
"Tory: WHERE AM I GOING TO GET MONEY NOW TO PAY THE RENT, I NEEDED TIME, I. I... I missed you, I thought I would never see you again, that you would only be in my memories.... "PLAFT" she slapped me in the face enough for my glasses to fall to the floor...
"You have a heavy hand on your tiger.... I bent down to pick up my glasses.... "That's because you were gone longer than you promised..... "it's been almost 2 years..... she said"
"Yes, a lot of things happened, I kind of did a supplementary course so I had to stay a little longer to get it all over with" but honestly, looking at you now... it was really good to be away for a while... 😏 😏
"Tory: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? "I mean you've become even more beautiful than before" 😳😳 she turned all red "I grabbed her hair and smelled it 'Hmm it smells like bedbugs..' she pushed me back "Back off you hair pervert....
"HAHAHA .....
"Tory? ... are you okay? ... "Hm? What are you doing here? How did you find me?" Tory said...
Kreese: I could say I was an expert in Vietnam, in the special forces, I was part of covert operations, but your address was on the paperwork...
Tory: I'm not going back to the dojo....
"Kreese: Why Not?". community service, probation, I want to get my diploma, I have to take care of my mother and my brother and I still have to pay the rent..... life is crushing me right now.....
.....
Kreese: But you can retaliate, "THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE... you know Miguel... it's all my fault, what happened to him, I have to stay out of trouble and not give in..." said Tory
What a mess you got yourself into, Tigress...
"Tory: DON'T YOU CALL ME THAT YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE IT....
HAHAHA it's always good to make you look like that, hahaha
Tory : Oh yeah...
Kreese: Who would you be, boy? "My name is Gabriel and I'm the great love of Tory's life...
"Tory: 😳😳 ...YOUUUU .... she started punching me in the shoulders ...."hey stop that I just told the truth" WHAT THE TRUTH YOU IDIOT WHAT YOUR GREAT LOVE OH DAMN IT ...
Kreese: While watching all this, "Thoughts" this boy is very strong, maybe the strongest I've ever seen, those muscles of his are no joke...
"Kreese: Boy, do you train?"" HM? Of course I have a regimen that I follow rigorously every day...
Kreese: Do you want to learn karate? ...""Of course, because sooner or later I'll go to Cobra Kai....
Tory: after venting he had a worried look on his face as he looked back... "Hm? I looked back and there was the manager.... HEY MAN....'" HAHAH HE GOT ALL STIFFNESSY, PROBABLY SCARED...
"Listen, how much Tory owes you?" "950 Dollars..." "Here, I gave him 1000 dollars, keep the 50 for his broken nose..." He looked at me in surprise, didn't say anything and left...
"Tory: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? .... I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP YOU IDIOT .... YOU DISAPPEAR FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND A HALF AND COME BACK AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED..
"Hey tigress, calm down, I told you before I'm the great love of your life, you don't need to worry about anything else, as long as I'm here..." She looked down with a sad expression...
"kreese: Tory, is your mother sick?" Tory: shook her head "Mine was too, I understand you, we lived in a less charming place than this, "trust me there is nothing charming about this place" Tory said: "Is she better?"
Kreese: No, it didn't get better, it was a different kind of disease, I didn't understand it at the time...
Tory: Look, if I could go back to the dojo, I would, but I don't have the money for rent, let alone for karate...
"That's when I come in, right? ..
"Tory: !! , what do you mean by that? "I'll pay all of this for you Tory....
"Tory: !!! ..... Why would you do that? ... " Why else would I do that? Maybe because you're my friend? Or maybe it's because I like you? Maybe both," but that doesn't matter, what matters is that from today on I'm going to help you with everything, " I have so much money, I have no idea how to spend it, so why not with someone I like?
Tory thoughts: Gabriel, I loved you, I always wanted to tell you this, but I never had the courage or the opportunity, when you left, I felt like a part of me was gone too, I suffered a lot... now that I was overcoming all of this, I was moving on, you come back and do all of this, how should I feel?
Tory: ... Are you really going to do this for me?
"Sure Tory, don't worry about anything else... She came close to me and said "Bend down a little here..." She gave me a little kiss on the mouth..... "This is a thank you for everything 😛
kreese: ...
HAHAha what a nice thank you, I hope to receive many of these after this...
Tory: 😳😳 S.. you idiot...
