The Bad Part About Loving Her

Chapter 46

(Not the actual group in video just the choreography they are working on)
---------------------------------------------------------
It was Monday. Alex had to go back to work and Carter was still in the hospital. He would however be getting out of the hospital today. He was sleeping until he heard the door open.

He opened his eyes thinking it was Alex but it was India.

"India what the fuck you doin here?". He shouted.

"I came to see you". She sighed.

"I told you. We are dead, done, over, not existing. How many times I gotta tell you this. I don't want you, I want Alex". He repeated.

"That's fine. But I came to see you about something else". She got closer to him.

"What is it now?". He rolled his eyes.

"I'm pregnant. And its yours".

"Now five, six, seven, eight! Get your leg up more Kingsley!". Alex watched the Mini Cherries do their new choreography.

"Make sure you reach all the way out on that last step Paisley". She coached.

She watched them do the dance one more time and then let the kids get a water break.

She checked her messages. Then she heard someone crying.

She turned around quickly and one of her dancers was on the floor crying with water dripping down her face while two girls laughed at her.

"Hey! What's going on over here?!". Alex folded her arms.

"They pushed me down and poured the water on me". Mercedes one of Alex's favorite dancers cried.

"April, Lesley, is that true?". Alex looked between the two.

"We were only playing around". April mumbled.

"Come on Mercedes". Alex helped her up and took her to her office.

Alex led Mercedes to her office.

"Do they always treat you like that?". Alex handed her a new outfit and helped her blowdry her hair.

"Mostly when you put me in the front of the group. April wants to be our leader really bad. And she hates when you put someone else at the front. She says it gives her less time to get noticed". Mercedes explained.

"Well April should know better. She can't always be at the front. Being in the dance industry she needs to know that sometimes you get front and center and other times you get thrown to the back of the group. But don't worry I already made my choice of which one of you is going to be leader of Mini Cherries". Alex reassured her.

"Who?". Mercedes cocked her head to the side.

"You". Alex smiled.

"Me?". Mercedes pointed to herself.

"Of course. Your respectful, a good dancer, and overall a good kid. Dancing isn't just about who can accomplish moves or sets the quickest or the swiftest". Alex had finished drying her hair.

"How long will I be leader?". Mercedes store up.

"A month. That way each one of y'all has a chance". Alex elaborated.

Mercedes hugged Alex.

"Thank you so much. And I promise I'm gonna work extra hard". Mercedes went into the bathroom to dry off and change her clothes.

Alex went back into the main studio.

"I have made my decision on who is going to be team leader for this month. It will be Mercedes". Alex announced.
