Dancer (One Direction//Little Mix)

Chapter 3

I sat down backstage and bit my lip. It's been five days since I've called it off with Rick, I feel slightly better, but I'm slowly breaking.

"Cora, you need to get ready to go on stage. Perrie told me to come tell you." I looked up and Harry was standing there.

I stared at him and stood up. I walked past him, my shoulder brushing his.

"You could at least say thank you." He stated. I ignored him and kept walking. "You can't forget what we used to do Cora, you can't forget us. So you might as well acting like I exists." He commented.

"I do act like you exists, I know you as the little man whore that likes to bring up the past." I spat.

"That's harsh." He smirked.

I rolled my eyes and walked ahead to the other dancers.

"You're popping up first in this little thingy, right?" Adam asked.

"Yeah, then everyone runs out from the sides. Where are my guys?" I asked. No one came, the dancers just went to their spots.

"Is everyone ready?" A stage manager asked. I could hear the screams of teenagers from down here.

"No! Where are my supporters?" I asked.

"I didn't know you needed supporters!" He sighed.

"So I'm just supposed to jump up there?" I hissed.

"What's going on?" Perrie asked.

"I don't have any supporters." I mumbled.

"I'll go get Jeff, Andy, and Adam." I nodded and she ran off.

A couple minutes later Perrie ran to me with the three boys.

"Try not to kill me." I grinned.

"Ok, I'll try. No promises!" Adam joked.

"Is everyone ready now?" We nodded he told us to go.

The drummer hit the drum, and they tossed me threw the hole into the air.

I smiled and landed easily, my eyes caught the face of someone I never wanted to see again, I gasped and kept smiling. The rest of the dancers ran out and everyone screamed louder.

"Hello everyone!" Jade yelled. The fans screamed and the devil in disguise smiled at me.

"How is everyone?" Jesy cheered. The fans roared with excitement.

He held up a sign and I read it. MEET ME IN THE BACK! AFTER THE CONCERT!

I shook my head, I swear. I ran around the stage like the other dancers and stopped by Perrie.

"Rick's here, he wants to talk to me after the concert." I whispered.

"Where?" She muttered.

"Behind the boys." She nodded and I ran off, to the side where the dancers were dancing along to the now starting music.

"Perrie said to get on her phone and text Zayn to watch him." Leigh whispered. I nodded and ran off the stage secretly.

I ran to Perrie's phone and unlocked it quickly. It was Zayn's birthday so it wasn't that hard. I went to her messages and clicked on Zayn's contact.

To: Zayn

Watch the guy behind you.

A couple minutes later he sent back a text.

From: Zayn

Who is this?

To: Zayn

Cora, please just watch him. Make sure he doesn't do anything. Thank you sooooo much!

I locked the phone back up and ran on the stage. Perrie looked at me and I nodded. The guys would sneak glances at him everyone once and a while.

After 'Boy' started playing Rick looked very upset.

-

The girls ran off the stage and Rick nodded his head like he wanted me to go to the back of the building. I nodded and ran off with everyone else.

"What was with you wanting Zayn to watch that guy? Looking for another boy toy already?" Harry sneered.

"No, and if you wouldn't have over reacted, I wouldn't have to look for another 'boy toy' would I?" I smirked.

I slipped on some sweats and the girls looked at me.

"I'm going, I'll be back soon."

"Wait, take a security guard. Or one of the boys, Zayn will be more than happy to go." Perrie said holding onto Zayn's arm.

"I'm fine, I'm a big girl. I'll scream real loud, you'll hear me. You know I can scream." I winked.

"All guys know that." Harry whispered. I shoved him out of my way and walked towards the back door. I was wearing a black shirt, with my sweats and toms.

I opened the door and there he stood.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I'm sorry babe, I want to get back together with you. It was an honest mistake." He mumbled brushing my hair out of my face.

"Stop, you should've thought of that before you asked me out. When you were dating the other girl." I growled pushing his hand away.

"I'm trying to apologize to you." He stated. "Now please just come with me." He tried to take my hand but I backed away.

"No, I don't want you anymore Rick. I hate you, so freaking much. I don't want your apologies because I know they aren't real. One reason we broke up a couple months ago is because you cheated on me. Apparently with the other chick too!"

"I said I'm sorry." He grimaced.

"I don't want it. Just leave, I told you I never wanted to see you again." I spat. He slammed me against the wall and I gasped.

My back was against the brick wall.

"You will come with me. Even if I have to drag your dead body to my car." Tears threatened to come out, but I held them in.

"Stop." I whimpered.

"Now will this go the easy way, or the hard way?" He asked like a cheese ball.

"Let me go!" I screamed. I tried to shove him away, but it was no use.

"Let her go mate." Someone spat.

"Why does she matter to you?" He asked. "Is she your new toy? She always played ruff with toys." He taunted.

"No, just let her go, and no one gets hurt." The voice sounded so familiar. I peeked over a little bit and Liam was standing there.

"You know what, I'm going to let you have her. The other girl actually went to bed with me." He whispered the last part. He let me go and Liam caught me before I fell.

Rick ran off and I clung onto Liam.

"Thank you." I whispered, my voice straining, I was telling myself not to cry.

"No problem love." He said. "You can cry, I'm not going to judge you." I then let the tears fall.

"Liam, I'm sorry for being such a b!tch to you." I apologized.

"It's ok. I'm sorry for being such an arse." I nodded and held onto him.

"Liam, can we be friends?" I asked.

"Of course." I smiled and wrapped my arms tighter around his neck.

He carefully picked me up and carried my crying body inside.

"What happened?" The girls asked.

"Rick was there, he threatened her. I got it taken care of." Liam stated. I only clung onto him tighter when someone tried to pull me away from him.

"Stop, she's fine. We're friends now." I smiled a little and slowly felt myself fall asleep.
