Courtney´s Pov
Izzy and me arrived to where the bomb was supposed to be. Owen, Heather and Noah were sitting by the table where Izzy took me. In the middle of it there was a big ball or something that seemed to be a ball... It also seemed to be a ballon...
-Well, guys -Izzy said-. I noticed you cant turn this off so I brought Courtney with me to help us too.
-Courtney!!! -Owen said-. I never thought I would say it... But its awesome to have you here!
I smile. Maybe they didn´t hate me that much...
-Thanks Owen. I missed you too...
-Courtney -It was Heather. Her hair was long again-. What a surprise! Its so great to have you here.
-Thank Heather.
I was sure she wasn´t really glad to see me but... Now she was my partner in this bomb game.
After ten minutes or so we couldnt find a way to turn that weird bomb off and it explode. The ball-Ballon was full of soda and we ended soaking soda.
Izzy laughed as she said "Boom Boom" Heather just walked away angry, looking for Alejandro I supposed, and Noah just disappeared. I said goodbye to Owen and Izzy and then started looking for the bathroom. I needed to clean my hair and my clothes.
Duncan´s Pov
Courtney?!?! Courtney was here?!?! I was shocked to hear that notice... What was Bridgette thinking when she decided to invite that bossy b*tch (that she has as best friend) to Geoff´s party...
-Duncan -Gwen said as soon as Bridgette walked away-.Are you ok honey?
-Yeah, yeah... Whatever why dont we get outta here?
-Why? Are you afraid of Courtney?
Gwen laughed of her words and hit my arm.
-Me scared of Courtney? -I laughed-. No. I just dont want another scene.
Gwen smiled and we started walking, straight to the exit.
Me scared of Courtney? That was just stupid. Why should someone be scared of that b*tch? And anyway, i hvaen´t seen her, so probably it was just that Bridgette lied when she said that Courtney was here...
Gwen and i were almost in the door when suddenly a door opened and a beautiful brunette came out of it. She had long light brown hair with darker highlights and beautiful big onyx eyes...
-Get outta my way -Gwen said to the girl.
-Hi Gwen -She answered with a smirk-. Im glad to see you too.
Courtney´s Pov
My hair was a mess, but anyway, it was a party and almost everybody was drunk. I could hear that Rihanna´s song playing... What was its name? Something like "Love the way you lie" o thought...
I went out of the bathroom and saw a goth girl that was wearing a short black drees holding a punk guy´s hand...
They definetely were Gwen and Duncan together.
I saw Duncan staring at me and my dress... My dress wasn´t ugly... Or at least that´s what I told me when i was infront of the mirror. It was short and purple and perfect...
-Get outta my way -Gwen said. She didnt seem to have recognized me.
-Hi Gwen -I answered, smiling sadly-. Im glad to see you too.
Gwen´s mask shatterd as soon as she heard my voice, Duncan´s eyes went wide.
-Courtney?? -Gwen asked.
-Yeah. I know its been too much time since TDWT and i hope you and i can be friends again.
Gwen smiled. I was sure she wouldnt believe any of my words. I hugged her. After a few minutes she hugged me too.
-I think we can be friends -She said smiling-. Lets forget and start all over...
-Fine, just dont forget Heather´s cries at England.
Gwen started laughing. Duncan rolled her eyes.
-Gwen -He said-. Better step back if you dont want to be killed by this b*tch while you´re laughing.
I looked down, staring at my feet. It was so hard to hear him caling me that... I realized how much i liked to be call Princess... My heart was broken, again.
-Duncan -Gwen said, angry-. Shut it up. She´s not a b*tch...
-Oh, Gwen -He satarted saying-. You know Im just kidding, right b*t... I mean Courtney?
-Right, jerk -I said lookin at him. He stepback-. You know what? I dont know why did i ever worried about you and your opinions...
-So, you admit that you care for me...
-Im not admiting anything but...
Gwen sighed.
-You know what guys? I will go and get a drink while you insult each other, fine?
She didnt wait for an answer, she just leave us alone. I was puzzle. Did Gwen trust in me? If Gwen trusted in me and have already frogiven me why couldnt Duncan do the same? I wasnt asking him to love me again, no. My hopes werent that far, i just wanted him to say that he didnt hate me.
-And anyway -I said trying to have his attention-. Why do you care if i ever cared about you?
Duncan´s Pov.
Gwen left as soon as I started calling Courtney b*tch. Why Gwen decided to trust Courtney? I mean everybody knows Courtney is a b*tch and I tought the only person in this world (besides me) that could say that Courtney was a b*tch and dont feel regrets later was Gwen and now she was Courtney´s friend? I hoped this wasnt another Bridgette´s idea.
-And anyway -Courtney started saying after a few minutes in silence-. Why do you care if i ever cared about you?
I looked at her. I noticed how beautiful she was... His onyx eyes shined with the lights, her hair was as beautiful as i remembered it was and actually she had a beautiful face... Why was I thinking about Courtney?
She was waiting an answer. I wasn´t sure about why i care. I just wanted to make her angry... I remembered how beautiful she was when she was angry. What was happening to me?!
-I dont know, darling. I just wanted to made you mad and now that you are maD i can go. I dont want to be seen with a b*tch.
I turned around and started walking away from her. She sighed and then i heard her crying. Courtney was crying? What kind of joke was this? Courtney never cries. She wasn´t that kind of girls that cried with a single word. I returned to where she was. She was sitting down in the floor hiding her face in her hands.
-And now, b*tch. What are you doing in the floor?
-That´s not your business, jerk.
I was wondering if leaving her was the best, so that she could continue crying alone, when i remembered Gwen´s expression when i called her new friend b*tch. I didnt want to make
her angry and she would surely get mad if she sees that little b*tch crying in the floor.
Courtney´s Pov
-You know, actually it is my business. You´re my girl´s new friend and she will get mad if she sees you crying. So you must stop crying if you dont want to get yourself into trouble.
I looked at him. Why he couldnt stop breaking my heart? He was a jerk, but i was a bigger jerk for expecting that he could be at least nice with me.
-If you want me to stop -I shouted at him-. Why dont you stop first calling me that!!!
-That? What do you mean B*tch... Oh, that. Fine. You know what Courtney, i thought you were that kind of girls that dont really care about the world´s opinion.
-I dont care about the world´s opinion... I just want to not be called b*tch instead of my name all the time.
-Fine, you could have mentioned it instead of crying...
-I could, but you wouldn´t have heard me anyway... You have never heard what i say, so why should i bother?
-I never hear what you say because you never say something important.
-Yes, you are right -I said with tears in my eyes-.For you it is not important what i say and it never was and never will be, so why should you bother?
He rolled his beautiful eyes. I saw in them that he was angry. Why was he angry? I mean, he didnt care about me or my opinions so why he had that expresion in his face?
-Oh -I said, trying to find out by his voice the reason of his expresion-, who´s mad now?
He didnt answer.
-I thought you were going to talk to me.
Nothing.
-Fine, Duncan. If you dont have anything to say you will have to excuse me... I love that song and im not going to stay here, sitting down while Justin is dancing alone...
I stood up and was about to leave him (i was using all my will power), when i heard he was speaking.
-Dont say that -He said sadly.
-Say what?
-That things that you were saying.
-I said too many things and im not a mindreader so i dont know which one you heard... I mean, if you really heard me...
-That things!! -He shouted. I step back, scared by his reaction.-. Why do you think i never cared you?
My heart jumped inside my chest. Suddenly i could breathe again.
-There was one time... -He said wothout looking at me-. When i really...
-Really what?
-Really...
-Really?
-Really cared about you.
-Oh -I said, trying not to smile-. Fine. Im glad to know that. But i guessed its too late to say that. Because that was then and i dont like to live in anyone´s memories...
He rolled his eyes, annoyed. His cheeks were red.
-Yeah, yeah. Whatever... If you knew all that you should know that people change.
-I never said that i didnt knew it... And that´s why i wont say another word to you now... Because i´ve just realized that you are as cold as ice and that -He stared at me, his eyes where shining. Duncan was about to start crying?-. is something that havent change...
As soon as i finished saying that i turned around. Those words were just like knives in my heart but if i didnt say it they would have killed me slowly. Duncan´s expresion was going to stay in my memory forever.
Duncan´s Pov
Courtney´s words werent suposse to be so hard. I was surprised when i felt pain in my chest, near to were i supposed my heart was. Why did her words hurt me so bad? I realized that when i decided to return and talk to her i didnt do it for Gwen but for her... What does that ment? I couldn´t be still in love with her, or could i?
Izzy and me arrived to where the bomb was supposed to be. Owen, Heather and Noah were sitting by the table where Izzy took me. In the middle of it there was a big ball or something that seemed to be a ball... It also seemed to be a ballon...
-Well, guys -Izzy said-. I noticed you cant turn this off so I brought Courtney with me to help us too.
