My Dancing Romance

My Dancing Romance #7

Chapter 7

"Come on guys. If you really want to make it to the dancing competition, you're going to have to step it up." I said to my new group.

"Yeah yeah." Said Felix.

Like I had said before the club, I was determined to get some dancers, and, like I had said, I had done. I had managed to appease 10 people. To my bewilderment, they had asked if I had a dancing crew. Honestly I had said no and had told them the story behind it. They had taken some time to think about it, and before I was going to leave they had agreed to become my group. Now, here we are practicing for the competition that is in a month.

I shrugged his comment off. "Do any of you actually want to even participate in the dance off?"

Pause. "Yeah." A couple of them said.

"Then those of you that actually want to be champions, you're going to have to work with me here and comply with the moves I am showing you. Understand?" Silence.

"Do you understand?" I said more fiercely.

"Yes!" Almost everyone said.

"Those of you that do not care to comply may leave before you end up wasting our time." I turned around to put the music that I had turned off, back on.

"1, 2, 3." And we were off. I focused on the people that were having trouble with the move and stopped the music to show them how it actually was and then played again to see there improvement.

All together we were doing fairly well.

*

Two weeks later and we have gotten most of the moves perfected. There were a couple screw ups here and there but nothing was unfixable.

Everybody was resting or practicing back at there own place while I was in my room dancing.

It wasn't the dance routine that we have been practicing, but just simple moves that I had first learned when I had joined my old group. Now that I think about it, they have just been holding me back from my true abilities. When we arrive at the competition their going to see what they gave up on.

They'll see. I can do this on my own. I dot need there help.

The doorbell rang, I stopped my music and went to the door.

"Hello." Out of all people in the world, it was him. Why me? Why now? Oh yeah, the competition was coming up and he decided it would be hella fun to come and brag to me. No way am I going to let him get to me.

"What do you want?" I said to him angrily and, quite frankly, annoyed.

"Alexa, you dot understand-"

"What is there to understand John? You dropped me from the group. How is that suppose to be misunderstood?"

"Let me finish. We let you go for your own good. We knew you had good qualities, and we knew that Jake being dead would only slow you down-"

"Woah. Are you serious? Just because Jake was more closer to me than any of you...you dicks doesn't mean that him being gone will slow me down! You underestimate me. How could you? Actually, letting me go is probably the smartest thing you have ever done. I'm free to do what I want and go where I want. You guys were just holding me back. So fück you!" I spit at him.

I felt so much better for saying that. I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

"Why do you think we don't care about you? We all loved you. Sure I screwed up and let you go, but you can't blame the whole group for what I did. If you think it was a smart thing to do then why didn't you just leave sooner?"

"What are you saying?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." He said stepping a bit closer to me. A little too close.

"You guys never loved me except for Jake. You guys just took pity over me, and just used me."

His hand went to my ear to put hair behind it. His hand then cupped my cheek.

"What are you doing?" I asked and attempted to step back but failed. He was strong.

"Something I should have done a while ago." His face got closer and his lips attached to mine. I was shocked. John was like a brother to me, this was weird. He pulled back.

"Now that Jake is out of the question, I can have you to myself." He said and trailed his lips around my face.

I needed to get out of his embrace.

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying it was a set-up. The whole thing with Jake being shot. It was a part of my plan. He never saw it coming." His lips went from my temple to my jaw, then the corner of my lips.

"H-How? I-I thought it was an a-"

"Accident?" He finished. "Precisely, it was a set-up. Meaning, it looked like an accident but, only I knew what it really was."

"Wh-why?" I was sobbing, I couldn't help it. It was like that day all over again. The 'helpless' victim, the shooter, him running away. Everything was a set-up.

"Well, the person the the shooter was going to shoot was just a bonus. Meaning, she wasn't part of the plan but helped it nonetheless. Can we stop talking about this? It's getting annoying having to explain it to you."

My sobbing instantly stopped and my face straitened up. I couldn't let this ruin me. What happened to Jake was tragic, but I can't let John see how his 'set-up' slows me down. Mentally it does a little, but physically I am more stronger than I can be right now. I need to show John that I can take anything that he throws my way.

"You selfish, ignorant, dick." I said. His grip loosened and I took that opportunity to slip from him.

"Wha-" before he could even finish I had slid down on the ground and used my foot to hit his feet and knock him over. He has to pay for what he did to my Jake.

"You bitch!" He stood back up rubbing the back of his head, as if that would help the pain.

"Ooh, how insulting." I held my fists up and used my foot to kick him but he thought ahead and caught it and twisted me over till my face hit the ground. I had to admit, it hurt like hell. Doesn't stop me though. I shot back up and kicked him in the face, I'm guessing he didn't expect that one.

He stumbled back, holding his face. I could see blood dripping between his fingers. I smirked.

"Gonna give up?" He moved fast and knocked my feet out from underneath me making me land on my ass. Ow. That hurt.

"Nope. Unless you are." I jumped back up and punched him in the face 3 times before he caught on and stopped my fists, pulling me to him, then twisting me around. My back was to him now. He leaned down and kissed my neck.

"Ew. Your like my brother, why do you even want me?" He twisted me back around and pushed me away slightly then kicked my gut, hard. Making me fly backwards and land on my ass again. Definitely going to be a bruise there now.

"I've liked you for a very long time now. I only choose now to do something about it." He walked over to where I was and leaned down to my level. I tried to stand but my legs and butt hurt so much I couldn't move. He kissed my lips hard and then stood back up and walked to my door.

"Goodbye, Alexa." And like that he left.

"Coward!" I screamed. I don't hear anything else after that and decided to relax.

He will pay for what he did. This was only the beginning.

Alright! How was that chapter? A little bit of fighting action that I felt like should have gone somewhere in the story.

Anyways, if you liked it leave me a vote and a comment is always appreciated.
