part one, part ïżŒtwo, part three, part four
âwoah hey, letâs settle down here,â miguel had shoved his way between the two of you quite dramatically, pressing his hands against both your chests, using most of his force on eli when pushing you two away from eachother.
he had thought the boy with angry red hair would bite your head off right then.
hawk had a new found reputation that he couldnât ruin, not for demetri, not for you, not for anyone.
you had thought about that moment a lot, how close you two were to eachother, his chest almost touching yours as his eyes sunk into yours, eating away at all dignity and hope you had right in that moment.
it just all disappeared.
âmoonâs throwing a party friday night, and i need someone to drive me,â miguel didnât look at you as he kept on scribbling down notes for the lab currently taking place right in front of you.
you paused with your own work, looking over to him. you had your eyebrows raised with a grim light smile on your face. it was barely there, the smile, but the dimples on your cheeks indicated it was.
it had been a week after actually talking to eli for the first time over a long past couple of months and you had barely found yourself smiling, everything just dead and the only thing filling your mind was him.
you only found the ability to concentrate when with miguel and his presence because he actually talked and tried to get you to talk, unlike demetri who really didnât mind the silence but somehow found ways to make it awkward for no reason.
âyou need a designated driver, donât you?â
âthat and i still donât have my lisences,â he nodded shamelessly, setting down the pencil he was writing with, âand i want you to come.â
âoh you do, do you?â
âyeah, itâll be good for you, maybe get a couple of guysâ numbers,â he tried to play it off but still somehow got trapped in his web by the change of tone in his voice. light, squeaky, almost high enough for a voice crack.
he just couldnât pull off trying to set you up with some guy without it seeming related to eli... and getting over eli. it never worked because both of your minds went in that direction.
âno, bad idea.â
âcâmon, y/n, you havenât a boyfriend in what? twenty years?â he joked.
âi havenât had a boyfriend since sixth grade... and that was sixth grade so it doesnât really count.â
miguel rolled his eyes before looking back at you seriously, âi for real need a dd and i donât want to ask sam because-â
âyeah, whatever, iâll still drive you, iâm just not going to stay for long,â you waved him off before coming to a realization, âwhat about tory?â
âshe canât drive either.â
âthatâs the stupidest shit iâve ever heard-â
âmiguel, i need to talk to you.â
youâre cut off mid eye roll, hawk standing before your lab table, looking straight at miguel.
but the boy staring at miguel looked more like eli then hawk, his whole guard looking weak, shoulders hunched, while he tapped his fingers in the air by his side. hawk looked nervous.
he wouldnât look at you, making you swallowing roughly, your heart squeezing in pain.
look at me.
just look at me, please, just look.
he didnât, so you gave up, glancing to miguel who looked back to you, the same confused expression on his face as he was scooting off the stool he was sitting on, nodding.
you watched them walk away from your lab table, towards the door that led to the hall, your bio chemistry teacher not even caring, but you caring very very much.
°âą
friday arrived faster then you originally thought it would. the los angeles valley air not wavering one bit as it stayed cool and calm, just perfect for a party, especially at moonâs house with her heated pool and multi colored LED light hottub.
and just liked promised, you drove miguel to the party with the exception of demetri and tory... who could in fact not drive.
âhey, youâre not staying?â demetri leaned a little through the rolled down window of your classic purple jeep, his eyebrow quirked in a little confusion.
if you were being honest, you werenât sure why demetri was staying himself. you werenât the only one trying to mend a relationship with eli, but at least when you did it, it hadnât included public embarrassment but demetri kept on trying and trying, getting no where. and he just wasnât a party person in general.
you werenât sure how he kept up.
âiâm probably just gonna go home and watch some movies,â you nodded, trying to convince yourself thatâd be much more fun then staying at the already tempting looking party, â...yeah, but donât worry, iâll be back around 12 to pick you guys up.â
his lips were pressed in a flat line of disappointment as he was trying to think your plan over, he shook his head but before he could argue someone beat him to it.
ây/n, get out of the fucking car!â
a large man was hauling himself up the driveway of moonâs home, marching his way towards your car, a very frustrated expression filling his features, all huffy and red.
miguel hopped behind him, trying to keep up with him with a very amused expression, grinning over to you innocently.
this was the only way to get you to stay.
the only way was to force you and the only person who would fully have the ability to force you was stingray.
otherwise known as raymond, a middle aged man who lived with his mother and took karate at cobra kai dojo with a bunch of high schoolers and took no shame because of it.
and miguel knew this, thatâs why he had gotten out of the car quickly and raymond was the first person he went to once he entered the very nice home.
the older man already had your car door open and ahold of your upper arm before you could even process anything, a very persistent expression on his face, making it very noticeable that he had a plan.
no one could stop him.
âyou really thought you could stop by without saying hi to me?â he scolded you, still tightly holding your upper arm way above your height as he was dragging you into the home.
you glared at miguel as stingray continued to lecture you about how rude it was of you to not even come inside. he only grinned back at you, an innocent twinge mixed in it, but so so obviously guilty.
the house already smelt of alcohol and a hint of weed. the blaring of music really pulled it all together as people bumped their heads to the bass beat, some goofily swinging around to it.
it had been awhile.
you had done a lot of drinking and partying during the summer before school started. you lived so freely during that time but that freedom had ended you up in a cage.
a cage you werenât even aware you were in until too late.
while your friends had all scampered off to karate, training themselves into a healthy routine, you fell into an unhealthy one.
it took a lot to pull you out of it, something that involved the authorities but you stopped and learned better.
the smell was only just the beginning, you knew once you had enter that home, you were screwed, it would lead to a little ïżŒdrinking that would turn into a lot of drinking, that would turn into trouble.
you just had to keep in control.
âyou okay?â
âyeah, fine.â
âyou donât look fine.â
âyouâre right, i lied. iâm perfect.â
miguel quirked his eyebrow at you while staring at the side of your face, your eyes trained on something he couldnât figure out what.
you couldnât yourself.
âiâm sorry for dragging you here, probably wasnât a good idea now that i think about it...â he gives up looking at you, expecting you to look back.
âitâs fine.â
âwill you actually be fine?â
âyep.â
âsure.â
lie.
he didnât know that, if he did, he probably wouldnât have left you alone with a free for all options of alcohol and drugs.
you were on it fast once he went outside, looking for tory. you poured a can of beer into a red solo cup, disguising the obvious bad habit that everyone knew you had, that everyone would try to stop you from falling back into.
itâs just... the person youâd least except to do so, would be the first one to catch you.
you had to be at least five beers down, no longer hiding the fact that you were drinking. you began hitting the heavy stuff, pouring yourself a glass a vodka with sprite for a mixer.
âshould you be doing that?â his voice sound behind you, not even shocking you for you were too buzzed to be bothered by anything at that moment, even eli.
you finished pouring the sprite in the cup before turning around, shrugging, âdoesnât matter.â
âyour miguelâs dd, arenât you?â
âyeah, whoâs yours?â
âmyself.â
you scoffed, not looking to him until then, your facial features scrunched up in confusion, âsince when can you drive, eli?â
he cringed at his name and the way you said it. wrapped with so much disgust and annoyance that he would rather have you âhawkâ even thought itâd be worse on your tongue.
but at least it wouldnât be his name.
âi got my license this summer while you were out getting wasted at strangers homes.â
it stung, so you took a drink from the plastic cup. the drink flowed so easily and so swiftly down your throat as he stared at you with an almost sadden expression, almost.
âyouâre fucking stupid,â he spat, trying to remove any sympathy he had for you, âafter all you put yourself through, after all you put miguel through, and demetri through, and sam through, youâre really going to start doing the thing that kept your parents up at night again?â
after all you put me through, keeping me up at night. i hate you for that, y/n.
hurt, drink, swallow, ingest.
settle, think, ignore.
âwhat do you think miguelâs gonna think when he walks through that sliding glass door? do you really want to embarrass yourself like that? after all that happened, after all the trust you had to earn back, you really want to do that again?â
drink, ignore.
he could see that his words werenât going through. eli clenched his jaw, took a few steps closer to you.
âdo you really want to be doing this, y/n?â he was now leaned in close to you, his mouth close to your cheek as he begun whispering, âyou just got your lisense back, you just got everything back.â
drink.
âdonât be stupid,â he finally said, walking away after awhile of silence, letting it settle into your brain while you gripped the solo cup tightly.
his words flew through one ear and out the other because not even half an hour later you found yourself standing with one foot on a stool in a drinking competition against tory, another big drinker of the valley who you had bonded with over the summer even through her busy schedule of karate, working two jobs, and just general personal time.
she found balance and you could never find out how.
you could never find balance.
miguel stared up at you uneasily while you easily downed a shot of whatever they put in the little green plastic cup.
he knew this was his fault and began to regret making stingray drag you into the party instead of letting you go in peace.
he could have found another dd if you hadnât come back even as you said you would, but it wouldâve been fine if you didnât, he hadnât even drunk that much, not as much as you.
you knew your limits, and he pushed them.
eli stood on the porch, twenty feet away from where the scene took place with his arms crossed, a crowd of teens surrounding you and tory, cheering you on and he just knew it was so wrong.
a lot of people saw you spiral and if not, they sure heard about it and yet here they were still cheering you on into something that could so easily kill you.
you threw your fifth shot down, a grin on your face, âbeat that, nichols.â
âiâm planning on it, y/l/n,â she smiled back at you, reaching out her hand for another product of alcohol, ârobby, next cup.â
the boy stared up at her, uneasiness in his face, keeping his arms crossed. robby keene didnât drink, he didnât like watching people drink, especially two girls who didnât know when to call it quits.
âkeene, beer me,â she growled, but he still stared up at her, a disapproving look hidden in his features.
âi got you tory!â stingray hustled from the crowd after robby once again denied her, completely dismissive to the two forties taped on both his hands.
he had knocked tory from the stool real fast for anyone to process and onto her back as rushing to her aid for beer. it caused a ricochet of cheers as a winner was finally presented after ten minutes of too painful to watch drinking.
âhell yeah!â you were handed a clear bottle of vodka, making you chug the clear liquid, a burning sensation no longer present like before when you had taken a sip for the first time in months.
ây/n, letâs get you down,â miguel reached up, causing your face to screw up in anger and confusion.
âno way, letâs go again.â
âitâs getting late,â robby mumbled, trying to help, but his eyes were anywhere but yours and miguelâs, like he was embarrassed to say something.
âyeah, y/n, your my designated driver, remember? you have to drive me home,â he hoped you would fall for it, he hoped you would get down from the stool and put down the bottle.
âno, youâre going to need to find someone else,â you mumbled, looking out into the now busy crowd that was no longer focused on you, âiâm too fucked.â
at least you were aware.
ây/n, just get down from the stool,â sam spoke for the first time, her concern reaching your ears making your face screw up even more, looking down away from the crowd and to your four friends.
âno-â
you hiccuped, falling to the ground from the stool tipping, eli standing right next to it, his hands dug into his sweatpants pockets.
he had swung his leg from right underneath the wooden stool that was already unstable from you slightly swaying.
âhey, what the fuck!â silence filled the air after your words had come out with no hesitation, looks of shock were directed to the boy, taken back by his move.
âyouâre welcome,â he gave miguel a pointed look before walking away like nothing, hands still tucked in his pockets.
he was too relaxed, it angered you and you wanted to anger him just like he did to you everytime he had ever ignored your text, your calls, everytime he ignored your yells of his name in the hall, everytime he would ignore your questions directed towards him. every. single. fucking. time.
you wanted to hurt him, like he hurt you.
so without much more thought, you got up quickly, rushing towards him before anyone could stop you and shoving him roughly.

If you arenât busy, could you write the cobra Kai boyâs reaction to their s/o singing

cobra kai boys reaction to their s/o singing.
summary đŁ: cobra kai boys had no idea you could sing, taking them by absolute shock when you do
warning/s đ«: swearing
slaterâs note đŻ: please send me more of these, absolutely love making them :) this is also a little short so iâm sorry about it

robby keene:
âȘ a big grin fills his face when he hears you singing in the shower
âȘ you guys had planned on going on a double date with sam and miguel (which yes, an odd choice) and he had decided to show up early to pick you up
âȘ he had had heard the shower running so he just took a seat on your bed, scrolling through his phone until he heard your voice
âȘ it took him by surprise and at first he didnât realize it was you until he focused, realizing it was coming from your bathroom
âȘ and when your done showering and come out of your bathroom to find him sitting on your bed staring right at you, you jump a little by surprise
âȘ you had never seen him smile so widely as he got up and played with a string of your wet hair
âȘ âyour voice is so prettyâ

miguel diaz:
âȘ he literally falls in love with you even more than before
âȘ at first your just humming to the song on the radio as you guys are driving around until it turns into persistent low singing
âȘ he canât keep his eyes on the road, glancing at you non-stop until you ask âwhatâ
âȘ âyour voice is so pretty, y/nâ
âȘ you cheeks glow red not really realizing you were singing loud enough for him to hear it
âȘ âi mean it, itâs so good, i didnât you could do that.â
âȘ youâll laugh more an embarrassed one saying âitâs no big dealâ but heâll continue to praise you, squeezing your hand in reassurance and that he really do mean it

eli moskowitz:
âȘ heâs so surprised that he ends up being a little rude about it
âȘ you guys will be doing homework, sitting across from eachother and youâll be sing a song thatâs been stuck in your head all day
âȘ and heâll look up as, his eyebrows narrowing just staring at you for awhile before saying, âsince when can you sing?â
âȘ it comes out rude when he means it as a genuine question, staring at you intensely and you kind of shy way shrugging
âȘ âoh, nothing, itâs just this song has been stuck in my head all dayâ
âȘ and youâll go back to your homework, embarrassed, your singing stopped while he just continues to stare at you, confused, not knowing why he didnât know you could sing good
âȘ âyou should sing more oftenâ

what cobra kai boys do for valentineâs day.
summary đŁ: what the boys and you do for on valentineâs day headcanon
warning/s đ«: mentions of sex, otherwise none
slaterâs note đŻ: short and sweet in honor of valentineâs day here you go :) MY INBOX IS EMPTY AND OPEN, PLEASE FILL IT!!

robby keene:
âȘ robby isnât very pda, all touchy and personal unless he really gets to know you/gets comfortable with you
âȘ in the beginning of the relationship he doesnât show how much he cares about you even though you both know very well heâd take a bullet for you
âȘ so when little holidays like valentineâs day comes around, he gets nervous, doesnât know if heâll be able to show exactly how much he loves you
âȘ as embarrassing as he finds it, heâll ask advice from daniel and even his father... which as you may have guessed, the advice opposite from one another
âȘ daniel says to surprise you with gifts, johnny advises him to surprise you with... sex
âȘ itâs just all a mess
âȘ âor you know, take her in a date?â
âȘ tory ends up saving the day and telling him to listen to daniel larusso and get you gifts then take you in a date, and the whole sex thing is optional
âȘ consent is key
âȘ be buys you flowers and takes you out on date. heâs very sweet to you, kissing you on the cheek when picking you up, holding your hand, etc
âȘ showing more pda than he usually does and itâs all great, you guys have your meal, the go back to your place, where you decide whether the night ends or continues on...

miguel diaz:
âȘ absolute sweetheart, will 100% spoil you but he also asks johnny for some advice on what to do
âȘ and of course the man gives the same talk he gave to robby, to miguel
âȘ johnny is honestly proud of himself because no one ever asks for his input, not that many people anyway
âȘ johnnyâs whole âsex talkâ makes miguel nervous and for a day he thought he had completely under control, flipped upside down
âȘ the whole entire date he is absolutely nervous and doesnât know if youâll expect sex from him
âȘ but besides that heâs absolutely infatuated with you, he calls in the morning, wishing you happy valentineâs day and makes basic small talk before saying heâll see you soon
âȘ he takes you to breakfast to ihop or some big breakfast place
âȘ he would then drop you off at your friendsâ house or samâs just to hang out for galentineâs day but then pick you up once again for dinner
âȘ he gets you flowers, balloons, chocolates, and a heart felt card
âȘ miguel is just so big on pda, that heâll literally smother you in kisses all over your face
âȘ and when at dinner heâll say the most random things like âiâm gonna marry you some dayâ or âi literally love you so muchâ
âȘ he cares about you so much and he doesnât care to hide it

eli moskowitz:
âȘ eli is very bipolar when it comes to pda, heâs either full on loving, holding your hand, giving you kisses or not lovey dovey at all
âȘ but in private heâs crazy about it, having to have some touch on you
âȘ eli is more relaxed when it comes to these type of situations/celebrations
âȘ yes, you guys do share kisses and he even buys you a rose, he still isnât all big about it, finding it cheesy or just overall overrated
âȘ but even as heâs more laid back about it, he plans your guysâ night out, creating a whole movie list to watch, including some romance movies even as he doesnât like them that much
âȘ you guys cuddle the whole time, him having a hand on your thigh as you two are completely wrapped up in eachother
âȘ arms around eachother, legs tangled up
âȘ itâs probably around one in the morning when you both call it quits and make the âspontaneousâïżŒïżŒ descion to have âvalentineâs day breakfastâ even though itâs the very next day
âȘ you both are in sweats at dennyâs eating breakfast, just enjoying eachothers quality time
i absolutely love all of your writing! will you be continuing friends with benefits and not your fault? you're amazing :)
hi! yes ofc iâll get on it, thank you love!

old friends, part four. eli moskowitz x reader
summary đŁ: in which two old friends reunite but it doesnât end how the reader had hoped.
warning/s đ«: just fluff :)
slaterâs note đŻ: FINAL PART, i caved and reading your guysâ comments, i agreed. hopefully this reaches your guysâ expectations! more works coming soon :)

part one, part two, part three, part four
he was pretty when he slept.
he didnât have as much pent up anger and smugness in his features as he usually did.
the side of your face was pressed into the soft grey pillowcase that supported your head up, allowing your to have a higher look at eli and his calm, relaxed face. a very rare sight.Â
his chest steadily rose up and down, sleep still in his mind and body, not seeming to break anytime soon.
you adjusted yourself to lay on your back, staring up at the ceiling, thinking of all that had changed in the past month.
you found yourself getting trapped in that mindset of looking back at the past in the early mornings where no one else seemed to be awake.
you hated it, the reminder that you and eli werenât exactly like this months ago, relaxed in your bed, a peaceful aroma held over the two of you 24/7 no matter where you were or who you were with.
it was a breath of fresh air every time you saw him, every time you were around him, you no longer cared for the past and how there was a period of time where he just ignored you, treating you so badly unintentionally.Â
he had explained that when flipping his script, he wanted to leave all past weaknesses of him behind completely, even if that meant leaving behind some old friends. but he hadnât realized how hard and how unfair it would be until it had actually all unfolded before him.
days didnât go by without him apologizing, a sympathetic look usually on his face while his hand went over yours, squeezing it tightly. he was really only like that when around you.Â
kisses on your cheek. holding you closely. whispering in your ear, it didnât matter what it was, small promises, little jokes, random gossip, but whatever it was it gave you goosebumps on your arms and the back of your neck.
he started to wear that stupid blue sweater again, like he never took it off.
and you had begun to grow accustomed to the stupid tattoo on his back, tracing the ink outlines of the hawk with your cool fingerprints, relaxing him into sleep or a content state.
heâd take you on drives with that new car of his, finding glee with watching you stick your head out the window, joyful yelps coming from your mouth as the wind ran itâs fingers through your hair, waving it around, leaving it for a mess.
you didnât drink anymore. he made sure of that. and just to make it easier on you, he wouldnât either, partnering with you to be a designated driver for all your friends. finding much more enjoyment with watching them stumble and slur around in the backseat.
he cared about you a lot and heâd made sure you knew it every day, even more clingy than before he was âhawkâ.
âyou gonna keep staring?â he smirked up at you before inching up on his back, leaning over to you.
his slightly muscular arm reached onto the other side of you, supporting himself as he leant down lightly kissing you.
a lot of mornings would almost start like that, kisses on your face, hands holding you tightly, eli giving you moments that made you feel like you were stuck in time, stars spiraling around in the inside of your mind, butterflies swooshing through your stomach.
yeah, he made you feel pretty good, something no one else could do, only an old friend. he brought good dreams, good thoughts, good moments. he was only like that for you.
only for you, an old friend, not only living in your head, but in your bed. forever.

not your fault, part two. cobra kai x reader
summary đŁ: eli hopes to make reader realize itâs not her fault by introducing a rather curious boy.
warnings đ«: swearing, slight mental breakdown but not really
slaterâs note đŻ: iâm beginning to think there will be more then three parts to this and there maybe robby keene x reader near future, lmk if you guys would be down for that

part one, part two,
you didnât know robby keene. you had heard a lot about him, especially after he was taken in by daniel larusso, but you hadnât exactly realized he was the one.
yes, it was practically everywhere, on the news, in your highschool, everywhere. this was the kid on the run after pushing a kid off a balcony only to break his back.
it just never occurred to you.
he sat before you with his arms crossed, analyzing you, âyou look like shit.â
you furrowed your brows, confused as to how random and straight forward he was. this had been the first words spoken between the two of you, silence consuming the both of your atmospheres while calm talking surrounded you.
âwhy are you here?â he mumbled, âi donât know you. do you know my dad or something?â
âwhoâs your dad?â
ânevermind,â he licked the inside of his cheek, diverting his attention toward the cement floor, âwhy are you here?â
he knew why.
your faced screwed up, feeling a heavy set of blame sink into your shoulders with the nasty tone he was using in you, âi donât know.â
âtell her what you did,â eli walked up behind you, glaring straight at robby who shared the same expression of hatred, his arms crossed, leaned back.
âfuck you-â
âno fuck you,â eli spat back, his body practically fully leaned over your shoulder, like you were the only thing stopping him from strangling robby, âyou tell her your the problem, tell her she wasnât the one.â
robby sighed, eyes breaking off from eliâs, shaking his head lightly before meeting your own eyes, filled with curiosity and general exhaust.
he had no idea who you were and getting a call about a girl who felt like it was all her fault for miguelâs hospitalization even though she wasnât even there for half of it didnât help.
he didnât understand why he was even still sitting before you, preparing to tell you that this wasnât your fault. he didnât know you, he had never met you, and he was about to go to an extent he would never go to for anyone.
making someone feel better about themselves.
he exhaled, sitting up from his relaxed position, âlook, itâs not your fault miguelâs in a coma, alright? itâs mine, okay?â
âi couldâve help-â
âno you couldnât have,â he said fast, trying to end things quickly, giving you a look of reassurance, the type of look that made you feel as if you had history with him, like he knew you inside and out, âyou canât save everybody.â
you cant save everybody.
whyâd he have to say it like that? phrase it like that?
saying it as if miguel was already dead and he was sentenced to life in the juvenile detention center and that youâd have to let it go.
the reassurance and sympathy he was offering suddenly made you feel sick to your stomach, tying up in knots of pain, swimming up to your throat making you choke up.
you got up quickly, the sound of the metal chair scraping against the concrete floor making a loud, annoying noise causing both boys to cringe, clenching their jaws.
robby watched you walk off quickly, shoulders hunched up in heaving sadness. you felt like youâd breakdown any second, it couldnât be over with, it just couldnât, miguel would pull through, he would just have to.
ânever was good with those sort of things,â he whispered to himself almost jokingly, but he allowed your grief to hit his head to realize it wasnât funny.
âwait to go, asshole.â
âhey, itâs not my job to make her feel better about herself,â robby scoffed, leaning back into his chair, crossing his arms.
âyeah, but it isnât her fault in the first place.â
âyeah, no shit, sheâs not the one in juvie,â he snapped, making eli glare at him even harder, eyes crinkling at the sides, eyes filled with fire of spite and rage.
and then a long silence took over as eli looked back to where you had run off, his lip finding its way between his teeth as he tried to think of what to next.
robby did the same, only staring straight forward at the plain white cinder block walls.
maybe he shouldâve been more sympathetic and thoughtful about his words, maybe, because then again you werenât his problem.
yes but if you hadnât done what you did, she wouldnât feel this way.
fuck, he didnât even know you, why was he trying to find excuse as to why it was his fault you felt this way? it was all stupid, he only wished he could be back in a peaceful mindset like he was before all this, back to not knowing you even existed, before knowing miguel existed, and sam, and when he would steal and lie and his only worry would be where his mom was.
âdo you think heâll wake up?â the words slipped past robbyâs lips unintentionally, as if he was meaning to ask more of himself rather then eli who turned to him quickly, slightly shocked.
âwhat do you mean,â he mumbled, âof course he will.â
but the truth was, eli only said that because he hoped it was true. he was rather doubtful in his answer and robby could tell by the tone of his voice and how fast he said it.
he truely didnât know what to think, but he hoped there was more truth in eliâs statement then what they both thought for both their sake.
analyzing your state previous moments before, he knew nothing good could come from your end if miguel did anything but wake up. itâd send you off a cliff and it didnât take a genius to see that.
he assumed many people would end up in the same boat as you, but the thing was, he wouldnât even be in that boat, youâd be in the water, wasting away, just like miguel.
âyou better hope he does, otherwise thatâs murder on your end.â
