Oliver smirked and looked him up and down. "Why are you nervous?" 
"I-I'm not nervous."
"You always stutter when you're nervous." 
"I stutter any time I talk."
"So i'm not making you nervous?" Oliver questioned. 
Demetri took a deep breath and sat his hands on his hips, leaning against his back leg awkwardly. "Nope."  his voice cracked.
They stood there for a minute just looking at each other. The look in Oliver's eyes made Demetri squirm. He nodded his head. "Okay. Mall it is." He announced and walked to the drivers side of his Jeep.  
Demetri let out a huge breath and his face turning red.
You coming?" 
"Yeah. Yep. Absolutely." He stuttered again and staggered over to the Jeep.


























When Odessa woke up from her long nap, she got a call from Oliver. "Hello?" She spoke into the phone.
"Hey, my favorite train wreck. How are you doing?" 
She rolled her eyes. "I just woke up."
"Is everything okay?" 
She nodded her head even though he couldn't see.  "Yeah, i'm fine. Those three weeks of not sleeping really did a number on me."
She heard him sigh. "Well, listen. . . Chris just texted us and said that Cobra Kai's messing with him at work. So you think you can come down here and maybe say something to Hawk? He listens to you more than anyone."
Odessa sighed and rubbed her hand over her face. "I don't know, Ollie. . ."  She trailed. 
"Please? We're tired of them getting away with everything, Dessi. I know you have no part it in but please help us."
"What's plan B if I don't work?" 
"I'll have Hailey bring her pointy heels."  
She cringed. "The ones she wore when she stepped on my hand that one time?" 
Oliver smirked through the phone. "Those are the ones."
Odessa rolled her eyes again. "Okay, yes,  i'll meet you guys there." 
"You're the best, Dess." He made a kissing sound with his mouth. "Demetri, tell Odessa you love her."
"I love you!" Demetri said into the speaker.
She chuckled. "You two are so stupid."
























Odessa wanted to believe that Eli was going to be better. She always believed that. He would show his vulnerabilities, make her feel bad for him, but then he would go back to his old ways. It was exhausting. She said walked into Golf-N-Stuff and found everyone standing in the lobby. "Okay good, you're here." Sam announced when she saw her.
Hailey's eyes widened. "You called her?" She said to Oliver and hit his arm. 
"She's our best bet at getting Hawk to back off. I didn't know what else to do. Your pointy heels will only take us so far!" Oliver exaggerated. 
Grayson waved his hands. "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter. We're all here."
"Where are they?" Sam asked Chris.
"They snuck into the old laser tag place." He told them. 
"How many?" Asked Hailey. 
"Five of 'em."
