Elie and Denise waited in the rehearsal room with three other girls for the choreographer to come in and teach them. Elie sat with her back against a wall. She sighed as she pulled her hair into a ponytail and the choreographer walked in. For two hours, everyone dancing took a break and saw the choreographer walk up to Chris Brown. He walked up to Elie.

"You're pretty good," he told her.

"Thanks."

"I think this girl is going to be the head dancer in my new video."

"She's new though," Jane the choseographer said.

"Who cares? She's really good," Chris Brown said with a smile.

Hours later, Denise and Elie left the studio until the following day. Elie checked her cell phone and saw that she had a voice mail.

"Hey baby. It's me. I know you're at rehearsal. But, I wanted to tell you that I miss you a lot and can't wait to hear your voice again. Call me back."

Elie smiled. "Bradin?" Denise asked.

"Yeah."

"You two should just get married."

"Why?"

"When I met you, you weren't this happy at all. When I saw Bradin around town, he was miserable and now he can't stop smiling. I've never seen him this happy."

Elie dialed Bradin's number as she and Denise got to their hotel room. "Hello?"

"Hey hun," she said.

"Baby!" he shouted, "How are you?"

"Tired," she told him as she sat on the bed.

"Tell him what happened today," Denise said.

"Tell me," he begged.

"It's nothing big. He just told me that I might be the head dancer in his next video."

"That's awesome baby. I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks. How are you doing?"

"I'm missing you like crazy. I'm so bored and lonely without you here."

"I'm sorry. We get about two days off in a few weeks. I should be able to come back around that time."

"I know. But, I guess I'll just have to listen to your amazing voice and watch for you in the magazines for now huh?"

"Amazing voice?" she asked.

"You heard me baby," he said, "Amazing voice. And, don't argue with me."

"Fine." Elie looked at Denise who was smiling. "What?" she asked.

Denise shook her head. "Let's go."

"Brae baby, Denise and I are going to go out for a while. "I'll call you when I get back. I have to recharge my phone."

"All right. Have fun baby."

"Bye hun," she said before hanging up.

"Do you think you two will last until the end of the tour?"

"I hope so," Elie said, "He is amazing."

Weeks later, Bradin and Nikki were watching music videos on the television. Chris Brown's new video came on and Nikki's eyes perked up. "It's Elie," she said pointing to the television.

The family came running and gathered around the television to watch Elie dancing in the video. Bradin smiled and got up as the phone rang. "Hello?" he asked.

"Hey. It's Denise."

"Hi. Is something wrong?"

"Not really," Denise said.

"Denise, what's wrong? Is it Elie? Tell me that she's okay."

"She's fine."

"Then, what's going on?"

"Maybe she isn't okay. Her father found us and he and Elie got into it."

"What happened?"

"Her father said some things to her and it tore her up. Today at rehearsal, she was fucked up. She messed everything up."

"Where is she now?"

"In the bathroom taking a shower," she told him.

"Do you know what he told her?"

"She won't say yet. She needs time to think about everything."

Br0dain sighed. "Tell her that I love her."
