Decode: One-shot
Courtney skimmed the headline on the newpaper.
"Total Dram Contestants: Where are they now?" Courtney frowned and dropped thd newspaper onto the vanity.
"Courtney, you ready?" A voice Courtney recognized to be her friend, Max. She stood up and dusted herself off. The image in the mirror showed differences than it had two years ago. Courtney's mocha hair was now Deep Scarlet Red and her skin paler than before. Her fashion sense had changed to darker colors.
"Yeah. I'm ready." Courtney replied. The stage manager handed her a microphone. She gladly took it and prepared herself for the show.
Everyone was cheering Courtney's name. It brought a smirk across her face.
"Welcome, Share Custody!" The announcer shouted.
Courtney ran onto the stage and smiled widely; hiding the depression.
"Hey, guys!," The crowd sent another roar. "Im going to be covering a song; By Param—" Courtney stopped.
In the back of the crowd stood; Duncan with the entire Total Drama cast. Gwen had her arms draped around Duncan like fish caught in a net.
Memories of Duncan started to slow through Courtney's head.
The fights.
The flirting.
The cheating.
Anger rose in Courtney; She gripped harder onto the microphone. "This one.. Goes out to a special guy.. Who ripped my heart out." Courtney snapped; sending a glare towards Duncan.
Courtney began to sing:
How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
Can't win your losing fight
all the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
You won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
How did we get here?
when I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood,
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
on my own
on my own
I'm screaming "I love you so..."
But my thoughts you can't decode
How did we get here?
when I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
How did we get here?
when I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me I want it to be true.
Courtney could tell there was regret in Duncan's teal eyes that memorized her in the first place.
"Thats it, for tonight guys! Goodnight!" Courtney smirked once again. She walked backstage and broke down in tears. A rough —yet, smooth— hand cupped her shoulder.
"Courtney.. I—" Courtney slapped Duncan's hand away and glared harshly at Him.
"Get out," Courtney growled at the Juvie. "You.. You did this to yourself and you deserve it." Courtney felt powerful at the moment. Like the stress had been pushed off her shoulders. Duncan frowned and left. Never turning back.
