Talia's POV

I was on the verge of breaking. Everything I did was undermined by James enough, and now I was getting it from Raven too. I tried calling Shannon countless times, but the call never went threw.

I sat at the bar watching the girls practice a new routine. For two weeks Raven bossed them around mercilessly especially poor Daisy. Raven made sure the young girl was broken by the of every day.

I couldn't bear to watch this anymore. I walked up to the stage and told everyone they were done for the day and free to go home. They all gladly complied waving me goodbye.

"What the hell Talia! They need to get this down by tonight!"

"Working them to death for ten hours a day everyday is not the way to get them to learn it! You'll have them sick before they can even perform!"

Raven rolled her eyes and began to walk away.

"I'm not done talking to you!" I caught her arm and spun her around. "You have single handedly destroyed your own life, you stupid girl! You had the opportunity to get the hell out of here so many times, and yet you continue to stay! Shannon could have been your way out, but you-"

"Don't talk to me about Shannon! He clearly has a new play toy," she said venomously looking at Daisy who had just reappeared from the dressing room with a duffle bag of her things.

Daisy stepped down from the stage and walked directly up to Raven. A girl who had been so timid now looked like a vengeful angel. Daisy placed her duffle bag down and slapped Raven hard enough to leave her stunned.

"You had the chance, and you're idiot for not taking it! And fyi, Shannon said your name that night of the auction! And you should have seen him staring after you when you turned him down! You practically destroyed him! I hope your happy you stubborn, ignorant bitch!" Daisy was furious. Raven and I were both were stunned to silence.

"Goodbye, Talia. Shannon and I are leaving today, and I wish you the best of luck," Daisy said looking at me with a soft smile. She turned to Raven. "I'd do the same to you but you'd probably ruin it." Daisy picked up her duffle bag and walked toward the door.

"Raven..." I placed my hand on her shoulder.

Raven stood there staring after Daisy. She fell to her knees and began to cry hysterically.

Shannon's POV

As I arrived at Jax's Daisy was standing outside waiting. I parked out front and she hastily tossed her bag in the back seat then joined me up front. She didn't say anything or even look at me.

"Are you okay?" I asked trying to comfort her.

She nodded and lightly touched my hand.

I put the car in drive and watched as Jax's faded into the distance.
