*Aaron's POV *
The show is tomorrow, Jess and I have been rehearsing for weeks, and yes I count the rainy day. Anyway, we only had tonight left to rehearse , But Jess was running a little late, then I heard her yell from the hallway, "Jess?!" I shout and run to the entrance of auditorium, I bust through the door way and see the cheerleaders cornering Jess, "What does Aaron even see in you?" one of them says and kicks her shin. "Yeah, your not even that pretty, you're just a shy little bitch" said another and shoved her to the wall, "And where do you come off thinking about getting to my girl?" said the last on, Marci, and yanked her hair causing her to yelp in pain, "Ah! Stop!" Jess shouted, And suddenly It happened again, I lost my temper. I walked up and without hesitation I grabbed Marci by the back off her cheer uniform and yanked her backward, she flew across the hall, one tried to kick me, I bent backward I grabbed her leg and flung her into Marci, next thing I know, I felt a sharp pain in my left shoulder, the last little bitch had a knife, "where the fuck?" i shouted and she pointed to her sock. "Figures." I said and smacked the knife out of her hand. I grabbed my Tac. Knife from the waist of my jeans and cut her calf a little. She looked at me shocked, "What? you thought you're the only one?" I say slyly and put it away and push her into the others while she's not paying attention. "Fuck with Me." I say as they all ran off. Jess runs over to me. I hold her, "Thank you." she cried in to my arm, I wince in pain as she grabbed my arm. "We need to patch you up." she said wiping away her tears, " let's get to the stage, i have a kit in my bag," I say holding my arm, we get there, i take off my shirt revealing my decent shape body and i grab a small glass bottle, and gauze, I hand Jess the gauze and tell her " Wrap my arm up after I drink this" as I show her the bottle. She nods and I pop the top and chug it , as soon as I finished she began wrapping my arm. When she finished she asked "What was that you drank?", I smile and say "Magic in a bottle." She knew instantly, "I thought you hated alcohol?" She said, " I hate what it does to people". I responded, "It takes the edge off the pain." I lean forward and roll my shoulder. "Son of a bitch, this is ridiculous, i'm definitely talking to Val about this shit!" I say angrily. I look at Jess, she's staring at something, I look down realizing what she was looking at, " I got them doing something, I'm not proud of, if you were wondering." She just continued to stare, I stood up and walked across the stage i put my hands to the back of my head, resting it in them, "what did you do? how did you get those?" she shook in her in words. " I was about 15, and I saw a job that offered good money, and I didn't read the fine print." I began, "I showed up and a guy handed me a knife and put me in a cage with some guy..." I continued,
*Jess's P.O.V.*
He continued his gruesome story, and I thought dancing was his only secret. "I never wanted you to know, I don't think I've told anyone else, I did horrible things, I..." He stopped, he fell to his knees, and clenched his fists, "I survived and I'm, I'm not happy with how." Tears immediately came down his cheeks, he growled at himself like they burned as they rolled down his face. "A-Aaron, I'm so sorry," I stuttered as I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his hardened chest. " You don't understand," he cried through his gritting teeth, " I killed someone, Jess, he was thirteen years old, and I stabbed him, right in the chest." He cried, that's why he knew how to get the knife out of Jenna's hand, and how he was able to cut her back without making her bleed out. "I did it for a year, I made hundreds, but I had innocent blood on my hands to show for it." He finished, I turned his head, "it's not your fault, those people put you through that..." He looked down, I lifted his chin, "No, you look at me, you're not an animal, they made you one, I love you Aaron Kane, don't you dare think for one second, that I'm going to abandon you," I continued, something burning within me, " Jess I..." He tried speaking, " No, leave your past behind you, and dance with me." I finished, I took his hand, he squeezed it lightly, I stood him up and walked him to center stage, this our last rehearsal, now take my hand, and I'll take the lead.
