Chapter 7: Dancing with the Devil

JACK'S POV

Kim started to head outside. Brody grabbed her arm and said, "What are you doing? Jack filled us in and you are supposed to stay in here."

"I have to get my bag out of Liam's car so that I can get ready for work. Would you like to go get it or can I?" She said with a smirk.

I looked at Brody and shook my head. "Go grab it for her." I told him.

"Kim, how are we going to work?" Julie asked.

"That is the best for us to do. We aren't sure if he will show up and so it will help keep us busy. Everyone will be here as soon as the movie is over. We can help Phil set up and get ready to sing and have fun." Kim replied trying to convince herself, I think.

Brody brought her bag in and she and Julie went to the back to change. Harry and the other jocks that we had talked to earlier today came in and were not happy to see us. I tried to smooth things over with them and Liam filled them in on what was going on right now. They all agreed to a truce for now, but were still pretty mad at me. As soon as the girls disappeared, everybody started pulling in to the parking lot and the place was getting busy. I told Phil a little bit of what was going on and he let me stand in the back waiting on the girls.

KIM'S POV

Jules and I quickly changed and I looked at myself in the mirror. I had a red pencil skirt on with black print on it. My top was a black tight shirt with a sweetheart neckline that showed more of my cleavage than I was used to. I was definitely going to have to wear my jacket some tonight. I took my hair down and put it in a simple ponytail and hooked the small hat on my head. I changed my jewelry putting on my key to my heart choker and was as ready as I could be. Julie had a similar outfit but hers was different colors.

I stepped out of the room and when Jack turned around and saw me, his eyes doubled in size. It made me blush slightly and he stepped up closer to me. "You look amazing! I don't think you should go out there in that. I don't think I am going to let you go anywhere." He said as he continued to step closer with each word and I backed up until he had me against the wall.

"Why thank you, I think." I said looking up at him.

He put his hand on my waist and I could feel his breathing increase in speed. "I better get out there and help Phil." I said. "I think I might wear my jacket for a while."

"I was going to tell you that I liked your leather jacket, but I forgot with all of the excitement." He said as he picked it up off the chair and held it up for me.

I slipped my arms in it and partially zipped it up. It didn't really take care of my cleavage problem, but at least it gave me another layer. "Thanks." I said looking over my shoulder at him.

Julie came out with a cardigan that she had slipped on. We went out to help take care of customers and were very busy already. Things were going pretty smooth and we had gotten caught up so Phil said it was time for us to sing so people could dance.

"Are you alright for this?" I asked Liam.

"Yeah. I am good." He said with a smile and we all headed up to the stage. The guys started playing and I took off singing. Everyone immediately paired up and started dancing. I put my hands on Liam and Niall's shoulders and sang my heart out. Then I walked over to Louis and sand for a minute. I stopped behind Zayn putting my hands on his shoulders for a minute.

Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly

I looked out at the crowd and saw that Jack had his guys and the other jocks spread out in it. I felt like I was being well guarded. I jumped off of the stage and went over to Brody and Bobby putting my hands on each of their backs. Then I found Harry who spun me around on the dance floor for second.

Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me

I walked to the middle of the dance floor and looked around. I saw Sam and Jerry standing on the side of stage and made my way to them. Jerry smiled and shook his head as soon as he saw me. He grabbed my hand and danced with me for a moment.

In the crowd of a million people I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine

I was making my way back up to the stage when someone grabbed my shoulder and spun me around to face him. I was looking right into Jack's eyes as he danced with me. "You said you would save me a dance. I am not counting this one. Get back on stage." He said with a smirk.

Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

I walked back up to the stage and Liam gave me a hand up. I turned around with a smile to finish the song and that is when I saw him. He was coming in the door and he locked eyes with me and just smiled. I kept singing, but I couldn't move. I was trapped by his stare alone. I have to deal with this or other people that I already care about are going to get hurt. I won't let that happen. With our eyes locked, Dylan made his way to the back of the dance floor and stood there without a care in the world.

Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

Everyone started clapping and Liam bumped into me to get my attention, but I was still looking at Dylan. It had been a while since I had seen him and I was actually in shock that he was here. I started to step back off of the stage and Liam quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

I looked at him in shock and he said, "I guess that's him. We are going to sing another song and you are not getting off the stage if I have to hold you here the whole time."

"Fine. Start playing." I agreed and then I saw him give Jack a look and saw the look in Jack's eyes. He knew that Dylan was here, too.

I looked out at Jack and shook my head. I mouthed 'No fighting!' to him and he looked at me like I was crazy. Liam stepped up to his microphone and said, "Keep your sweetheart in your arms."

He motioned for Harry to come up to the stage and handed him the guitar. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"We are going to sing together and he can play while we do." Liam answered.

"Okay." I said starring at him and they started playing music as he moved his microphone closer to mine and grabbing my hand in his. I knew he was just making sure that I stayed put. I let him hold it for a moment and then I started swaying to the music and needed my hand loose.

(Liam)

Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want (Kim - yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (Kim - yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (Kim - yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (Kim - yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

I was having a lot of fun and trying to ignore the fact that Dylan was out in the crowd. I was dancing to the music and Liam was keeping a close eye on me. I held his hand in both of mine and pulled it to my chest while I sang my line about holding hands.

(Kim)

Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
'Cause I want (Guys - yeah-yeah, yeah)
A boy (Guys - yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (Guys - yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (Guys - yeah-yeah, yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

We turned toward each other and did a few simple dance moves together and Liam's smile grew.

(Liam and Kim)

Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll/he'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll/he'll bring her/his love to me

I swayed back and forth while he sang and was having fun until it was my turn to sing again.

(Liam)

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want (Kim - yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (Kim - yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (Kim - yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (Kim - yeah-yeah, yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

I looked out at the crowd and Dylan had moved closer to us. He was in the middle of the dance floor and he never took his eyes off of me. I continued to sing and tried to shake the feeling that something bad was coming. Liam grabbed my hand and spun me in a circle and then made me look at him.

(Kim)

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want (Guys - yeah-yeah, yeah)
A boy (Guys - yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (Guys - yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (Guys - yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

He held me close to him while we finished the song and we danced together on the stage.

(Liam and Kim)

Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone
No, I don't wanna dream

Everyone was clapping and I looked out and saw Dylan was no longer alone. I grabbed the microphone and said, "Alright let's really speed things up now. Have fun."

Liam took his guitar back from Harry and I walked up to Harry and handed him the bass guitar from the side of the stage. I grabbed the tambourine and started to dance around the stage trying to make myself feel better. I spent time by each one of the guys dancing beside them.

I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Its a game of give and take

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

I looked out in the crowd toward Jack and when I caught his eye, I smiled at him. I was dancing around so much that it was too hot to keep my jacket on so I took it off and threw it out to Jack. He smiled and shook his head at me. I got a few whistles and Jack quickly took care of the one guy right by him, but Dylan dealt with the other one which made me nervous.

But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin on
When I feel my strength, yeah
Its almost gone
I remember mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Its a game of give and take

I was working so hard to have fun, but was still not just being me. I would normally be down there dancing with everyone else. I was still letting him control my life and I was not okay with that. I continued to dance on the stage and then I saw my opportunity. I jumped off of the stage and headed straight for Julie. She started dancing with me even though she had a worried look on her face.

How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?

No I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hangin on
I remember mama said:

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Its a game of give and take

One of Milton's friends was sitting in the booth and I pulled him up and started dancing with him. We moved closer to the dance floor and Dylan. I wasn't sure what I was doing, but I knew I had to do it and I didn't have much time as Jack and everyone else was going to make their way through the crowd to get me.

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

He spun me out and started to pull me back when another hand grabbed my free hand. He pulled me his direction instead and Milton's friend disappeared. I kept singing even when I saw that it was Dylan who was holding me in his arms.

No, love, love, don't come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it aint easy
It aint easy
But mama said:

I just danced with him and sang and knew there wasn't much time before we would have a full on fight here in Phil's because of this. He leaned in closer to me and whispered while I sang, "Hi, Kimmy. It has been way too long."

I felt my breath catch and looked at him pushing myself back lightly while I sang. We danced until the end of the song and I saw that the only thing keeping Jack from getting to us was a few more couples in his way.

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Its a game of give and take

I finished the song and looked Dylan straight in the eyes. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here for you. Your dad took you away and we didn't even get to say goodbye. I know you have missed me as much as I missed you." He said trying to squeeze me tighter.

"Listen to me. No more fighting with anyone here or I won't even speak to you. If you are really here to see me, then leave all of my friends alone. Do you understand?" I told him

"Still the same firecracker. I got it, babe. All of your little friends are off limits. Sorry about the pretty boy's face earlier. I was jealous and you know how I get when I am jealous so actually that was your fault, not mine." He said with a grin.

"I didn't even know you were here. You are not blaming anything on me. I have to go back and sing so just leave everyone alone." I warned.

I pulled out of his arms and quickly turned around just as I felt Jack's hot breath on the back of my neck. I looked up into his eyes and saw the anger all over his face. I put both of my hands on his chest and started pushing as hard as I could.

JACK'S POV

I finally looked down at her and was not very happy. "I know. I know. I need to sing some more so let's get back to the stage. Please. Jack, just ignore him. Please." Kim begged.

I glared over her head at Dylan and then wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me protectively. "Stay away from him. Do you understand?" I said so seriously to her.

"Yes. I do, but I really can handle this. He said he is here for me. My dad took me without saying goodbye and he wants me back. I am not going back, but I think if I talk to him this could be resolved without a fight." Kim explained.

"Well, that was the last time he is going to anywhere near you alone so let me know how that is going to work into your plan." I said.

"Alright, calm down. I am going to go sing and we can talk more about this later." she said.

I kept my arms around her and looked over her head at Dylan again. "I can feel the heat from the two of you burning holes through one another with your eyes." She said teasingly.

I looked down and her and smiled. I can't stay mad at her even when I want to. "You really are something else." I put my hand on her cheek. "I know you are trying to lighten things up right now, but you have to let us take care of this. Kim, I want to kill him for ever hurting you. And I have a feeling that Liam feels the same way. I don't care about anything else right now, but that jerk is never getting anywhere near you again."

She looked into my eyes and there was so much intensity in each of our eyes that I knew I had to make her understand that she had to let me handle this. "Alright, Jack. I will behave, but no fighting. I don't want any of you to get hurt." She said.

KIM'S POV

He just smirked at me and shook his head. Then I felt another hand on my shoulder and Jack's eyes were enraged and he pulled me putting me behind him.

"I think you have all of this wrong, Jack!" Dylan said with a grin.

"Really, I don't think so. I think you better stop putting your hands on Kim." Jack said back in a threatening tone.

"Please you don't want fight with me. We are both leaders and we can work this out. It is all just a big misunderstanding. Kim and I…we are meant to be together. She knows it. She knows what I want and she knows what she wants me to do so I think that my hands won't be the only thing I am putting on her." He said staring at me.

I instantly put my hands on Jack's shoulders holding him in place because I knew he wanted to kill him. I looked around Jack and stared at Dylan. "Dylan, it is not happening. You know that. I am sorry that I had to just leave with my dad, but there really was no other choice. He was furious when he saw… and I didn't want to deal with that anymore. I wanted a fresh start, but I should have told you goodbye. We both know that wouldn't of ended well." I said.

Jack was so tense in my arms. Then Dylan spoke again. "Kimmy, you knew I didn't mean it. It was an accident. I would have made it up to you. It won't happen again and we can be happy together again. You just have to give me a chance and then I will keep my promise to you." He looked at me so evilly and I knew what he meant. He meant that if I didn't go with him that he would keep hurting my friends until I gave him what he wanted….ME!

"Go on. She needs to finish singing and the dance floor is for people who are dancing. Go sit down for awhile and we can all talk more later." Jack said glaring at Dylan.

"Cute. Kimmy, this guy is pretty good. I didn't understand the jock, but this one he is like me. I know why you are hanging out around him." Dylan added. "I will go find someone to dance with. I want to be as close to you as possible. You are mine."

I felt like I was going to be sick and I could tell that Jack was ready to attack him. As Dylan walked away to find a partner, I held onto Jack and said. "Don't let him get under your skin. That is the way that he works. I just want him to leave all of you alone."

Jack spun around and looked me in the eyes. "Is that what he meant by keeping his promise?" He asked me with a very serious look in his eyes.

I took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean?"

"Don't give me that innocent act! You made him promise not to fight with any of us, right? What did you promise him in return?" He asked.

I swallowed hard and said. "I have to go sing." He looked at me waiting for an answer and not letting me go until he got one. "Just that I would talk to him, that's all. I told him no more fighting with any of you." I replied.

He looked at me and shook his head. "Go sing and don't leave the stage again unless one of us is with you." He directed.

"Alright." I said as I turned with him and walked slowly toward the stage.

Liam took my hand and Jack released me. I can't believe that this was the way that they were going to get along. I have to take care of this. I thought I might send a little message with a song to start. I told the guys to play 'You Don't Own Me.' They started playing and I decided to have fun with this. Dylan had found a dance partner in Donna, of course. He was dancing with her right in front of me to try to bother me. I made sure to direct some of my glares in his direction while I was singing.

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause

I walked over to Harry and played with his hair while I sang the next line. He just smiled and stared into my eyes like he was really listening to what I was saying.

You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

I turned around to face the front of the drums so I could be eye to eye with Zayn. I waved my finger at him while I sang and he laughed.

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I walked over to Louis and tapped him on the tip of the nose with my finger while leaning my head on his shoulder and smiling up at him.

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

Niall met me in the center of the stage and had his sax slung across his back. He spun me around into his arms and dipped me back. When he brought me back up, I shook my finger in his face and walked away.

And don't tell me what to do
Oh, don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

Liam was waiting patiently. I went over to him and leaned my back up against his and sang to him looking over my shoulder at him.

I don't tell you what to say
Oh, don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I walked back to the center of the stage and glared at Dylan. He wasn't even dancing with Donna. He was just holding her in his arms while he stared at me angry about the attention I was giving all of my friends.

Jack was leaning against the side of the stage and I walked over to him and knelt down beside him singing the last lines. He just smirked at me and shook his head.

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live

As I looked out, I knew how angry Dylan was getting, but I also knew that there was nothing I could do about it right now. I can't believe that I wanted to keep Liam and Jack from fighting and now I have to worry about Dylan. This just got a lot more complicated. I can't believe my dad is gone.
