    Once we were all ready me and Kevin grabbed our bags and the three of us headed out towards Jenna's car.

"Well Kev, you can tell your mum you shared a bed with a girl last night," Jenna laughed, remembering the conversation between Kevin and his mum last night.

"Not funny Jenna, and anyways it was a couch." Kevin blushed.

"Whatever, you still slept together. Maybe I'll call and deliver the news to your mum!"

"Well if you do just remember, pay backs a bitch!"

"Okay children that's enough, remember we have work to do," I laughed.

We climbed into Jenna's car and hit the road, heading to the studio. It was the last day to perfect their dance routine and it had to be perfect.

    Once we arrived Jenna parked the car and we all walked to the studio.

"Oh no!" I cried.

"What?!" Kevin and Jenna both replied in panic.

"I didn't bring my stuff, it's all at my house."

"And that's why the studio supplies it," Kevin laughed.

"No Kev this is bad!" Jenna cried.

"I don't understand. How does this affect you, Jenna?" Kevin asked, confused.

"Ugh, this means she doesn't have her body spray!" Jenna answered in a dugh tone.

"Well excuse me for not knowing the importance of Ellie's body spray!" Kevin chuckled.

"Well come on guys, we better get started on this routine." I sighed.

We started the music and got to work on finalizing the last of the choreography.

    We had been dancing and working so hard that we didn't even realize the time. It was almost time for us to leave the studio and we were just finalizing the last of the dance when my cell phone rang.

"Guys, it's Ryan's number!" I called over to Kevin and Jenna.

"Let me answer it!" Kevin said, as the two of them started to walk towards me.

"No Kev I got it this time, thanks but I now know what I need to do."

I then picked up the phone, not even realizing I was holding my breath until I began to speak.

"What?!" I answered harshly.

"Nice escape act you did last night in the club, by the time I got there you and your little boyfriend were gone." He snarled.

"Well maybe you should work on your speed." I retorted.

"Look, I don't want you around him no more, you're mine not his!" Ryan's voice began to rise down the line.

"What the hell do you think gives you the right to tell me to stay away from other guys when every night you're sleeping around with different girls?!" I was now starting to raise my voice in anger.

Jenna mouthed to put the phone on speaker so her and Kevin could hear the conversation.

I obliged and hit the speaker button, holding my phone in the middle of the three of us.

    We all stood waiting for Ryan's response, he seemed to be short for words.

"I'm the man in this relationship, you do as I say. I don't appreciate some woman telling me what I can and can't do!" Ryan shouted down the phone.

"You sexist pig, you wouldn't know how to treat a woman properly even if they came with a manual!" Kevin interrupted.

Jenna slapped Kevin on the shoulder for interrupting. He brushed her off more interested in waiting for Ryan's response.

"Oh, so I see your little boyfriend is still with you. I don't think it'll take Einstein to work out what you guys did last night."

"I don't think that's any of your business!" Kevin shouted.

"Actually little dude I think is! You see that's my girlfriend!"

"Actually Ryan, I'm not your girlfriend. It's over and for good this time, I mean it! That means stop calling me and texting me, don't come by my house and if you do I will call the cops. If you want your stuff back that's at my house get one of your friends to collect it. I don't want to see your face ever again." I cut in.

"Well sweet heart I'm sorry to say but it's a bit too late for that."

"What do you mean?" I asked, hating the way my voice was slightly shaky.

"I'm outside of your studio right now. I'll be waiting out here to see your little boyfriend!" He snarled before hanging up the phone.

Me, Jenna and Kevin all just stared silently at one another.

    I physically started to tremble from fear of what Ryan might do.

"How the hell did he even get passed security?" Jenna asked.

"I have no clue!" I responded.

It took me and Jenna a second to realize Kevin was no longer standing with us, when we look around we saw him heading for the door.

"Kevin don't you da-" But it was too late, I was cut off at the sound of the door slamming shut behind him.

"He's going to get himself killed!" Jenna screeched.

We both ran out of the studio and into the parking lot. Once outside we saw Kevin standing in front of Ryan, who was towering over Kevin.

"Finally coming to fight me little guy?" Ryan teased.

"The only reason I'm just doing it is because Ellie wouldn't let me before," Kevin tried to defend himself.

"Well maybe she doesn't have that much faith in you. She always let me fight her battles."

"Well maybe she cares more about my well being than she does yours!" Kevin retorted.

"That's it! You're dead!" Ryan shouted.

With that he grabbed Kevin by his shirt and pushed him to the ground.

    Jenna and I ran over to where they were stood as Ryan started to kick the shit out of Kevin.

"Ryan, stop it!" I screamed, jumping on his back to try and stop him.

He just pushed me to the ground and continued to punch and kick Kevin. Once I picked myself up off of the ground I turned to see Jenna was on the phone to 911. Kevin tried his best to hit Ryan back but he just wasn't big or strong enough. It felt like hours before we finally heard sirens in the distance, Ryan obviously noticed too as he stopped what he was doing and ran in the other direction. Kevin tried to trip him but failed. I dropped to my knees laying next to him, it was only at this time that I realized I had tears streaming down my face. As the sirens grew incredibly close I saw Kevin's eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.

"Kevin stay awake!" I cried, cupping his face in my hands.

I felt arms pulling me up away from him and tried to resist. It wasn't until I heard Jenna's voice that I complied.

"They need to help him Ellie! Come on we'll follow them to the hospital!" She soothed.

We watched as they loaded Kevin into the ambulance then we headed to Jenna's car. The journey was silent, as I rested my head against the window of the car all I could think about was how this whole thing was my fault.
