The Boxer And The Dancer (Michael B. Jordan)

Chapter 34

•Drea•

The Past Few Weeks Have Been Horrible. The Girls Lost Two Competitions In A Row, My Car Broke Down And Michael Is Being Crazier Than Ever. The Fights Have Turned Physical And If I'm Going To Be Honest, He's Really Scaring Me. He Has A Match Coming Up In A Couple Of Months. I'm Not Even Sure I Want To Go. Plus I Have Competition And Classes To Teach. I'm Going To Be Tired. I'm Exhausted And I'm Honestly Started To Get Depressed Again.

"Okay, I'll See You Guys Again Next Sunday." I Said To My Class As They Gathered Their Things.

Now To Get To The Girls. I Waited Outside For Marcus To Pick Me Up. When He Pulled Up I Saw That He Didn't Have Sam With Him As Usual, Only Keena. I Threw My Bag In The Back Seat With Her And Hopped In.

"How Was Class Today?" He Asked.

"Tiring."

"I Don't See How You Deal With It All. Teaching Classes, The Team, Michael, Breathing, Anything Really."

"I'm Breaking Up With Michael." I Blurted Out.

It Was Completely Quiet. Marcus Looked At Me From The Corner Of His Eye Then Back At The Road.

"Wow, Uh-"

"About Time." Keena Mumbled.

"I Can't Take It Anymore."

"So A Couple Of Weeks Ago?" Marcus Questioned.

"What? We Had Sex."

"Yeah, I Always Thought When Girls Lost Their Virginity's They Got Attached."

"Not All Girls, I Am Attached But Only A Little. I Have To Do What's Best For Me. Me And Michael Don't Mix Well Anymore."

"Damn, You Want Me To Come With You When You Do It."

"Nah, I'll Be Okay."

We Pulled Up To The Dance Warehouse, Keena And I Got Out And I Grabbed My Bag.

"I'll See You Later." He Said.

"Bye." We Waved As I Went To Unlock The Door.

I Walked In Turning On All The Lights And Seeing The Empty Warehouse. The Girls Would Be Here Soon.

"I Was Thinking About Something Drea." Keena Said.

"What?"

"Well I Wanna Help More With Making Up The Dances, Like Actively Help."

"Keena For As Long As I've Known You I've Never Known You To Want To Dance."

"Well I Wasn't Gone Say Nothing But After All These Years Of Watching You Dance, You Inspired Me. Sometimes I Try To Come Up With My Own Stuff."

I Smiled At The Thought. Keena Began Smiling Too.

"Of Course You Can Help More." I Told Her. "I Need All The Help I Can Get. Your My Co Coach."

Soon Girls Started Walking Into The Studio.

"How Was Your Day?" Michael Asked As I Sat At The Table In His Kitchen While He Cooked.

"It Was Okay." I Said Simply.

"What's Wrong?"

"Nothing...Actually, We Need To Talk."

"About?"

"Well I've Been Thinking About Us Lately And I Just...I-" I Began Getting Nervous. "I Think We Need To Break Up."

Silence Filled The Room. Michael Turned From The Stove To Me.

"What?!"

"Look, We Haven't Been At A Good Place Lately, Maybe We Need A Break Or Something." I Said, Back Tracking.

"You've Got To Be Kidding Me, A Break Drea? What You Just Wanna Leave Me, Just Like That."

"Michael All We Do Is Argue And Fight."

"That's Not All We Do."

"I Have A Bruise On My Side!"

"And I Apologized For That!"

"It Doesn't Make It Okay Michael!"

"I'm Not Having This Conversation With You Drea. You Need A Nap Or Something."

I Looked At Him Surprised. Anger Started To Take Over Me. I Grabbed The Little Salt Shaker Of The Table And Threw It At Him.

Within A Second Michael Had A Grip On My Face. The Look On His Face Was As If He Wanted To Go Ape Shit.

"Let Me Go Bastard." I Muffled, Trying To Get His Hand From My Face.

"Do That Shit Again And I'll Hurt You."

"Fuck You Bitch!"

Suddenly My Chair Went Flying Back To The Ground. I Got Up And Went At Michael With All My Might. I Hit And Kicked And Scratched At Him Until He Slapped Me. I Went To Slap Him Back And He Grabbed Me By My Neck, Gripping Hard.

"Stop." I Barely Got Out.

I Smacked At His Arm To Let Me Go Until I Had The Thought To Kick Him Where It Hurts Most. He Let Me Go And I Pushed Him Down, Quickly Moving Away From Him.

"Michael Bakari Jordan We Are Fucking Over! Don't You Ever Speak To Me Again." I Said Before Walking Out.

I Began Walking Out And As I Passed His Acura I Took Out My Key And Started Keying It. I Got On Top Of The Hood, Jumping On The Hood Mulitple Times. I Thought About Kicking His Windshield In But I Just Left It Alone. I Got Down And Ordered An Uber To The Nearest McDonald's While I Walked To It. I'm Not Naomi And He's Not Going To Treat Me Like I Am.

When I Got Home I Went To My Room And Closed The Door. I Burst Into Tears And Just Laid On My Bed. I Heard My Door Open.

"Did You Do It." I Heard Keena Say.

"...Yeah." I Said As A Tear Slid Over The Bridge Of My Nose And I Could Feel My Nose Becoming Stuffy.

I Felt The Weight Of My Bed Shift And A Hand Rub My Back To Console Me. More Tears Came.

"It's Okay Boo, There's Plenty Of More Out There. You'll Find A Guy Way More Worth Your Time."

But I Didn't Want Anybody Else. I Didn't Want Another. All I Wanted Was Michael. This Was The End. The End Of Something I Thought Would Great.
