Dancing Girl

Brian POV

Slowly I bend down and pick up the envelope that is left backstage on the floor. I look at the envelope and there is nothing written on it, so I decide to open it and see what is inside. I notice that there is a letter so I take it out, open it and start reading it.


We got Katelyn. Good luck finding her again, good luck having her again.


TICK.
TOCK.
TICK.
I feel the world has stopped turning, the sun has stopped shining…everything stopped.

No it can’t be. It cannot be that they really managed to get their hands on that fragile body of hers. Not thinking about anything else, I realise that this should be true and not a sick joke. Slowly I move backstage near the rest of the guys, still clenching on the letter. I cannot speak, I can feel myself getting teary-eyed. Nina gasps once she sees me and she runs next to me.
“What the fuck happened to you?! You look really pale… what’s wrong?” she yells, everybody looking at me.
“K….Katelyn” I only manage to say.
“What about Katelyn? What happened?! Did she leave again?!” Zack asks me looking worried.
I shake my head and lift my hand to hand them the letter. Matt immediately grabs the letter from my hand, he must have recognized it from all the letters we have been receiving. He reads it out aloud for everyone to listen to, and once he finishes no-one says anything.
Complete silence.

“FUCK!!!” I yell as I hit the backstage wall with my fist, making me bleed, but I hit the wall again, again and again with blood splattering around. Nina is crying loud while Arin comes next to me to stop me from hitting the wall one more time. I shrug him off instantly and push away Jason who tries to comfort me.
“I lost her. I fucking lost her, the one time that we were happy and I actually thought that this shit is behind us. They never stopped spying on us, they fucking took her from under our freaking eyes!!” I yell at everyone as they are staring at me. Then I look at Nina, Jason and Matt.
“And you guys, how did you fucking lose her? Didn’t you realise that she was gone?!” pointing my fingers at them. Nina is wiping away tears from her cheeks, looking at me surprised.
“How can you fucking say that Brian?! It is not our fault!” Jason yells back at me, as he steps forward.
I step forward as well, right now standing really close to Jason.
“You people were backstage. You were doing nothing, you should have seen her being taken or fucking something! But no, nothing! Fucking useless!!” I scream at him.
Jason grabs me from my collar and I already put my hands in fists, as I feel someone else pulling me backwards and slaps me hard on my face.
“Let me tell you one thing Brian, you were not alone thinking that everything was over. So no, I fucking did not think of going to the bathroom with her, because that is the last place she went to. BUT DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE BLAME ME AND THE REST OF US WHO WERE BACKSTAGE DURING THE SHOW. Do you think I fucking wanted this?! Never! And by the way, you’re not the only one hurting here!! So leave the bullshit to another time and let’s do something about this before it’s too late!” Nina yells at me, pointing her finger at my chest.

I step backwards and hurriedly walk away from them, I need to blow off some steam but I need to do something first. As I’m moving away I throw some things away from the stage, still cursing as I cannot believe that this is happening right now. I go to the bathroom that we have backstage and I notice that the door is open. There is no sign of struggling from the door. There is no other clue. Nothing.
“They must have took her went she came out of the bathroom, maybe threatened her so she had no choice but to leave us”, I hear Arin from behind me.
I am still looking at the ground, not knowing what to do from now on.
“It’s not your fault Brian” he tells me.
“But it will be my fault if we don’t manage to find her and they do something to her. Where the hell are we going to look for her?! Obviously they did not take her to her home”, I tell him, putting my hands through my hair.
“My best guess is that they took her to Rick. I mean they kept telling us to do that. So now that they have her I guess they will do so themselves” he explains.
I sigh as I close my eyes. “I don’t want her near that prick, Arin!! I don’t!!”
“Then let us try and stop them. Let’s not waste any time!” he grabs me from my shoulders and pulls me to him. We hurriedly go to find the others.

“Guys, we think they took Katelyn to see Rick. I mean they wanted that to happen so I think that is the place they’re going to take her. I think it’s best if we leave, like right now with several of our cars and go to the prison. But no-one should be driving alone, we have to stay in small groups at all times!” Arin explains perfectly to everyone.
“Yeah I think it’s best if we do so!” Matt agrees as he is holding Nina to his chest, still crying.
I go next to Jason, “I’m sorry man. I shouldn’t have blamed you, it’s not your fault! But man, I feel crushed! I don’t know what to do”.
Nina pulls away from Matt and looks at me with red, swollen eyes and comes next to me. She puts her hands around my neck and pulls me in for a hug. I put my face on her shoulders, my hands on her back when I finally break down. I start to imagine what she might be going through…seeing her abusive ex, Rick threatening her to do god knows what. She must be feeling really scared!
She lets me go when she puts her hands on my face, and looks me deep into my eyes.
“Let’s go and find her. Now. Let’s not let that sick son of a bitch gets what he wants!”
I nod and quickly we get out of the venue.
We break into small groups and get to our cars. Matt, Nina, Johnny and Laura in one car; Jason, myself, and Zacky in another car; Arin, Kim, and two security guards in another car. One car after the other we start driving to our destination.
We’re coming Katelyn! I’m coming!


Katelyn POV

The two men are next to me, one holding me from my arm and the other one is standing really close to me. I am not feeling really comfortable, I am feeling scared and sick. Sick to see that bastard whom I once loved but instead he treated me miserable. We pass the gates and they stop me from walking any further.
“Listen to me pretty face, from now on I am not going to hold you any longer, you can imagine why. Don’t you fucking dare to try and escape us or say something about this to the police,“ he says and he grabs me from my neck and continues, “or else a lot of people will go missing. You can guess who. Understood?!”
I start coughing, I cannot speak so I just nod.
He leaves my neck and we start walking towards the entrance of the building. One of them went to write our details in the book, as we wait to let us in. After a couple of minutes we enter and they tell us to wait in this small room.
“Sorry only one of you can talk to the prisoner” one policeman says.
“Yes, and that would be her. She will talk to Rick”, Rick’s man emphasizes. The policeman leaves and after a couple of minutes he signals me to enter the room, as apparently he is waiting for me.

I stand up, my feet shaking and slowly I enter the room. I walk towards the cabin that they signal me too and then I see him, the monster with the biggest grin on his face. He is already holding the telephone to his ears. I sit down, and slowly grab the telephone as I can feel the tears already building up in my eyes.
“You have no idea how much I have missed you babe”, he starts, looking deeply into me. He then continues, “How have you been?!”
“Been better”, I slowly say.
“Yes I can imagine why. That Brian must be a dick to you!” he proudly says. I scoff at his sentence, shaking my head.
“You are insane Rick!” I coldly say. “What do you want from me?”
“Well, I thought of having a small chat before telling you what I want and expect from you” he says.
“We only have 5 minutes Rick, don’t waste any time. Just tell me what the fuck you want from me and let me get the hell out of here, and away from you and your men!” I say to him in one sentence, surprised at myself since I don’t know where this courage had come from. And it seems even he is surprised, as Rick looks blankly at me.

“Feisty! Fine, I’ll tell you everything. First of all I would like to remark at how selfish they are, wanting to keep you away from me, not sharing you at all. After all those letters, warnings and shit…but anyways, finally you’re here. Now, back to business. After here I want you to go with my men to this certain location, they know where don’t worry. It’s a bit secluded. They are going to film you, film your confession” he starts explaining.
“Confession? What kind of confession?!” I ask immediately, narrowing my eyes.
“My god, let me explain first!” he says, with fire in his eyes. This look always scares me, he used to be like this before he’s about to hit me.
“In your confession you are going to say that you lied. That I was not the one hitting you. But it was Brian. Brian was the one hitting you, strangle you, abusing you…even raping you. It was all him. That is what you have to do, blame him” he starts smiling at me.
I look at him in surprise, not knowing if he is joking or not. I wait a bit more and realise it is exactly what he wants from me.
“Are you kidding me right now?! I will not do that!” I hiss at him.
“Oh you will honey, you will!”
“And why will I do that?! So that you get your ass off of jail and put Brian, the innocent person in this fucking situation in prison?! No way!!” I softly say in the telephone, looking around to make sure I’m not being heard.
“Oh you will. You will be given some sort of….motivation if you can call it that. And to answer to your question, yes, that confession video will get me out of here. I have already spoken with the policeman I have working here on the inside. He told me everything will be settled once this video is given to him. So, tick tock, don’t waste any more precious time and get to it!”

“I will not do it Rick! I fucking swear to you I will not!” I tell him over the telephone. He is still grinning that stupid grin of his, which is irritating me!!
“Sorry miss, your time is up. You need to leave right now” the policeman tells me, still standing behind me.
“Goodbye love, I had a nice chat. I will see you soon” Rick tells me as he starts waving his hand at me and blows me a kiss.
“You’re sick!” I tell him, tears running down my cheeks. I put the telephone in its place and do not look at him, not even once. I get out of the room and Rick’s men stand up immediately.
“It seems you had a nice chat with Rick dear. As everything was explained to you, let’s go to the location” one of the man tells me as we start walking out of prison.
I say nothing, I continue walking with them in utter silence, still thinking and hoping that I will manage to get myself out of this situation.
But right now, the odds are not in my favour.

Notes

It is not looking good for Katelyn right now :/ And Brian is in the middle of everything! What should Katelyn do?! Will the others manage to find her before the filming starts?!
