All She Wants (COMPLETE) - BSB Fanfiction

Chapter 54

"Thanks for the outfit Nadia." Ellena mumbled as the auburn-haired woman swept past her behind the curtain.

"No problem. Are you sure you want to do this?" Nadia was concerned. It took a certain kind of person to be a stripper and Nadia knew that Ellena was not the type. "Ken must have something big on you to force you to do this." She stated.

Ellena's remained fixed on the opening in the curtain as she replied with no emotion. "He does."

The beginning of some familiar music followed the muffled introduction by the house DJ.

All she wants is... all she wants is...

"I hate this fucking song." Ellena said under her breath. In one swift movement, she swept back the curtain and held her breath as she stepped onto the stage. The beat of the music pounded in her head like a sledgehammer. She squinted into the blinding spotlight, trying to focus on the room of people she didn't really want to see.

Ken had been right, no one was close enough to notice minor imperfections in her figure. Thankfully, no one was close enough to see the tears of humiliation in her eyes either. Even if they had been close enough for them to see her face, nobody ever looked at it anyway. The men at these clubs came to see other parts of her body.

She willed her arms and legs to keep time to the music. Her eyes grew accustomed to the spotlight's brightness and she was finally able to see into the lounge. Ellena watched as Kevin, Nick and AJ rose from their table and walked out the door. Blatant shock ran across the faces of Nick and AJ, but Kevin's expression only showed sheer disappointment and anger.

Without waiting for the rest of the song to play out, she ran across the stage to the back. She grabbed the first jacket that she saw and pulled it over what little clothes she still had on. She opened the back door and ran into the pouring rain, after Kevin. She screamed his name as her stiletto heels dug into the mud.

"Kevin! Kevin! Wait!"

She ran past the rows of parked cars, her eyes straining to see him through the hard rain. The glow from the streetlight caught the reflection of a car door opening. Ellena pulled the jacket tighter around her shivering figure. "Kevin, please let me explain." She said, coming up behind him. Nick and AJ got into the car and Kevin remained standing. He turned his eyes to Ellena and she froze to see the disappointment emanating from their emerald depths.

"What is there to explain, Ellena? You refuse to let me help you and then you do this?" He spat in disgust.

"I didn't have a choice, Kevin. He said-"

"You did have a choice!" Kevin screamed. "You could have let me help you. That is all I ever wanted to do."

"But Ken-" Ellena tried desperately to make him listen.

"I don't want to hear about Ken. Good bye Ellena." Kevin yanked open the car door and got in. He ignored Ellena's desperate pleas for him to listen as he slammed the door and ordered AJ to drive.

Ellena watched the car drive through the lot as the rain fell over her, matting her hair and making her makeup run down her face.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Ken came up behind her and grabbed her by the arm.

Ellen struggled to break free of his grasp.

"Ken, please let go. You're hurting me."

"Get back inside to finish taking off your clothes."

"No. I'll be back for my shift on Monday."

"You'll be back for your shift tomorrow night."

"You said I could have the rest of the weekend off!"
