New York- Where Dreams are Made

Chapter 98- Canceled

I sat up straight in my chair. Half because I wanted to look like this whole thing was just a bother. And the other half because I had no choice. This was the most uncomfortable chair I've ever sat in.

I hummed a tune I made up in my head.

Boots tapped to my humming.

I looked at the wall, pretending there was a clock.

"Shouldn't you be at a show?"

I growled at him again.

"It's canceled."

I gasped.

"What do you mean?"

He laughed.

"You're nowhere to be seen. Your understudy is on vacation."

I groaned and rolled my head back.

"Why am I still here? What is it you are trying to accomplish?"

He walked closer until he was in front of me.

"I'm just trying to get some recognition."

I kicked my legs at him. I think I hit him pretty good because he fell backwards.

"You little bitch." He growled at me.

I smirked.

He slapped his large hand across my face, almost sending the entire chair over.

I gather myself and open my mouth to speak.

He puts his hand over my mouth.

"Shut up."

I consider biting it, but thats not going to do me any good.

He moves his hand from my mouth to my cheek.

"You're so pretty. Darren is a lucky man."

I growl at him.

"Fuck you."

He raises his hand to slap me again, but he lowers it when I don't flinch.

He crosses his arms and stands against the wall.

"You will be nicer to me, Charlotte. I can erase your entire existence."

I scowl at him.

"You don't scare me."

He laughs.

"Oh, but I do. You're scared out of your mind. Not of me hurting you, but of me hurting others. I will leave the blonde one alone if you cooperate."

I clench my fists, ready to break the ropes and punch his psycho face.

He walks in circles around my chair.

"You don't want to see me when I'm angry."

I tense up again.

"They're gonna find you. I don't care if I'm dead when it happens, but they will make you pay you asshole."

He stops behind me.

He lowers his head over mine where his face is directly in front of mine.

"I like you, Charlotte. I always have. They can't find us. It's me and you. Friends till the end."

I growl at him, louder this time.

"I'm not your friend."

He laughs and makes his way out of the room.

"You'll change your mind."
