The Choreographer

April

"Don't just sit there looking shocked." Anthony said getting angrier.

"How did you know I was here ?" I said feeling tears getting ready to come.

"Because you're little lover boy is a singer it ain't hard."

"Watch your mouth bro." James said standing up.

"What you gonna do, take your anger out on April ?"

James face was getting red and red and his fists kept getting stronger and his jaw clenched hard and he lunged at Anthony. Anthony is stronger so he punched James knocking him out cold.

I took out the IV from my arm and punched Anthony with all my might but he picked me up over his shoulder and carried me out the hospital.

Olivia tried to stop him but he pushed her and fell hard. He trapped me in his Mercedes not letting me go anywhere.

"So you think you can leave me huh ?"

"Anthony, you beat me everyday for nothing." I said bursting into tears. "I just couldn't live in that hellhole no more."

"April, I'm sorry." He said crying.

"That just ain't cutting it." I said struggling to get out but failed.

"You ain't going nowhere. You gotta pay for what you did."

He drove to a nearest motel and checked into it. I tried to leave but he would slap me.

When he got into the room, he threw me on the bed and hovered on top of me.

"This is how you gonna pay." He said unbuckling his pants.

I kicked him in his 'manhood' and grabbed his keys and ran like a track star and locked the car doors quickly.

I sighed into relief but the window almost bursted opened and Anthony kept banging on it.

I started the car and drove fastly back to the hospital almost passing out.

The nurse took me back to my room putting the IV back in my arm with security in front of my car.

I kept asking for Olivia and James but they arrived seconds later looking happy.

Olivia kept limping and James had a black eye with a bloody nose.

"Are you guys ok ? You do look bad."

"Fine." They said in unision. "But are you ok. You know how Anthony is ?" Olivia said sitting on the bed.

"Yea he tried to rape me but I kneed him in time before he got to me. But how did he know everything about me ?"

"I kinda told him." Olivia said picking at her fingers.

"Olivia !!!!" I said pushing her on the floor.

"He threatened me." She said getting off the floor wincing in some more pain. "He said if I didn't tell him he would come to find me and kill me. I was scared April."

"Why didn't you tell anyone ?" James said joining the conversation.

'Phone Convo'

"Hello ?"

"Hey Liv, miss me ?"

"How did you get my number ?" I said panicking.

"Don't worry about that, now where is April ?"

"I ain't saying nothing."

"Really ?"

"Nope." I said putting the emphasis on the 'P'

"Well, if you look out your window right now there is a sniper pointing right at your head ready to shoot. Now where is she ?"

"Mercy Hospital." I said looking at the window.

"Thanks. See you again Liv."

'End of Phone Convo'

*********

"Well all I know is that we need to get back to the hotel before he comes back." I said getting out the bed.

"Ummmm, he kinda know we might be there."

"And why is that ?"

"He had one of his friends with a sniper on the other roof."

"Just great. We don't have no where to go."

"Well you can stay at my house."

"Really ?" We said in unision.

"Yea. You gotta get the hotel and grab yall stuff and leave."

"Ok." We said in unision again.
