Demetri P.O.V.

"Don't be scared Demetri I've got you" He whispers but I can feel the vibrations in his back. I blush darkly and shout a thank you. I hold him tighter as I'm still warry of his driving skills.

Why did I agree to this? Oh right to hold Eli. Stupid feelings making me like stupid eli. Except he's not stupid he's the smartest guy I know. No he's still the dumbass brute that broke my arm. Why can't I get that through my thick skull?

-----flashback to seventh grade (they were thirteen)------

13 year old Demetri's P.O.V.

Is everyone this boring on a Friday night? My phone rings with a call from Eli. Thats strange we weren't planning anything. Maybe his anxiety is getting better with spontaneity. I answer it and hear quiet sobs from the other end. Nope thats not it if anything this is making it worse.

"Eli why are you crying? whats wrong? are you hurt?" he sobs loudly before he answers.

"Only emotionally" I really want to call him a pussy ass bitch right now but I hold back because I am a good friend.

"Alright what are you being a little bitch about this time" Yup super great friend.

"I'm not a little bitch!" he shouts at me making the phone cut out a little.

"OK OK you're not a little bitch whats wrong?" he mumbles something that i can't quite make out.

"Bitch what the fuck are you even saying?" I make a face at the phone even though he can't see it.

"Ugh Demetri you're deaf as heck get your ears checked"

"Just say hell. Repeat yourself youngling i do not have all day"

"Its night"

"Shut up and tell me what you said"

"Thats an oxymoron"

"Bitch do you want me to come over there?"

"Yes actually, can you?" he sniffles. I feel really bad all of the sudden.

"I wish I could but I live so far now that we moved" We speak softly it feels intimate.

"I know" his voice goes softer than ever.

"Hey i'll see you tomorrow at school though don't worry. Now what has you crying? he laughs nervously and only speaks up slightly from before.

"Dude I still can't hear you"

"I took an am I gay quiz" I fully hear him this time but I want to fuck with him.

"sorry E i still can't hear you"

"I took an am i gay quiz ok!"

I laugh "And what about it?"

"I got gay!" he sobs loudly. Someone in his house definitely heard him.

"We already knew that dumbass" roll my eyes

"I can hear you rolling your eyes!" he starts to whisper "I'm not gay De you know that"

"Eli we're both gay"

"Not true! I like girls too. and you like that really mean girl from out for some reason"

"Eli we go to catholic school all the girls are mean"

"Whatever I'm not gay!" he repeats himself almost whispering "at least I think I'm not"

--------end of flashback--------

Oh right thats why. He's my best friend that cry over getting gay on an "Am I gay quiz". Dude if you're taking it you're gay.

Eli pulls into Miyagi-Do and turns off the bike.

"Hey man remember when you cried over taking an am I gay quiz?"

"NO! Thats not true at all!" he throws his helmet at me and i let it fall.

"Ow"

"Dude my helmet"

Sensei LaRusso comes out of the dojo in the midst of our bickering.

"What are you guys doing here? Didn't you get my email? Practice is cancelled due to an unexpected work trip Amanda sprung on me. I was just here wrapping up a few things but I think Sam wanted to have a movie night with everyone if you still wanted something to do. Demetri I'm counting on you to keep it from turing into a party"

---------timeskip to the LaRusso house-------

(btw amanda doesn't live there because they're divorced and she's with carmen)

"Ok the movies I picked for tonight are 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' the 'Scream' movies and 'the Conjuring' but for now i think we can just play some games or something" Sam LaRusso stands in her living room in front of the tv as she puts out snacks.

Shit. Shit. Shit. I do not do well with horror movies, or being scared in general.

"Horror fan, huh?" Eli looks at me knowingly. I hate it.

Sam nods vigorously. "I wanted to start with 'Scream' its my favorite series"

She continues to rant as Eli whispers to me. "We can get out of here if you want"

"No I promised Mr. LaRusso, and Sam is my best friend I can't just leave her" he mouths an "ok". He seems a little hurt but he hides it well.

"Put it on if you like it so much" Tory grumbles from her spot on the floor.

"We have to play games until its night" Sam rolls her eyes.

"But its already dark out because of the rain" Devon points out ever so logically.

"Yeah lets get drunk and play dumbass games later" which surprisingly came from Bert.

"Dude aren't you like fourteen?" Eli pops off his shoes and puts his feet up on the table. Sam knocks them down when she comes to sit next to us after putting on the movie.

"Dude I'm sixteen" Bert groans "People always think I'm a child"

"Oh shit my bad" He covers himself with the blanket.

The movie starts and I huddle as close to the armrest as I can. Lets get this over with.

By the time the movie is halfway through I'm practically eating the couch. All of the sudden theres a jump scare (yeah no shit theyre supposed to be sudden), and i scream loudly. Luckily nobody notices it was me because Eli knocks his soda over.

"Eli dumbass the carpet!" Sam shouts at him and runs off for towels.

"Thats my bad it was an accident" Eli turns to me and covers us with the blanket.

"hey are you ok?" he whispers in my ear as he wraps an arm around me. Fuck.
