Cursed

Chapter twelve

Courtney's pov;

I wake up feeling like s**t.

I dragged myself out of my bed, and into my shower.

So many thoughts were running throughout my mind.

Why was Dylan so pissed with me?

I put my drink down for like 2 seconds! It could have happened to anyone!

I cut my shower short because I was running late as I got up a bit later today, because I'm just so damn tired.

I shove a pair of skinny jeans on, and a red plaid shirt. I brushed my hair, letting it dry into it's natural beach waves, and put some concealer under my eyes to hide the bags.

I shoved my converses on, grabbed my bag and my leather jacket, and went downstairs.

I saw Zoe laying on the couch watching The Mortal Instruments.

"You alright Zo?" I ask her and she looks up at me.

She looks like s**t.

"God you look awful!" I say to her and she laughs.

"Thanks for the moral support Courtney." She smiles. "I'm not feeling well so I'm staying at home today. Mum had to go to work early today, so that's why she's not here." She says to me.

"Okay my love. Did you want anything to eat quickly before I leave?" I ask her.

"No thankyou. But a glass of milk would be nice." She smiles at me.

I get a glass out of the cupboard, pour some milk into it, and hand it to her.

"Thankyou." She smiles again. Her voice is croaky and she looks pale as hell.

"I've got to go now, but I'll see you later Zo." I say and hug her.

"Bye love." She replies, and I grab an apple and walk out the door.

"Heyyyyy!" Ellie shouts at me.

"Jesus Christ Ellie!" I say grabbing my ears. "You trying to make me deaf or something?" I say and she laughs.

"Sorry." She smiles.

"Anyways why are you so happy?" I grin at her and she starts the car.

"Pfft no reason." She grins back.

"YOU f****d OLI LAST NIGHT DIDNT YOU?" I shout at her.

"Jesus Christ Courtney! You trying to make me deaf or something?" She mimics me whilst grinning.

"Shut up." I grin back. "You did didn't you?" I asked her again.

"Maybe." She smirks.

"Whore." I say to her whilst grinning and she grins back.

*****************************

I walk into my music room and sat next to Ellie.

"Have you even written your song yet?" I whispered to Ellie.

"No. But Mrs Honey usually stretches deadlines so it's all good." She simply says.

Thank god for that. I thought to myself.

"Now I'm hearing that a lot of people haven't finished their projects yet so you will have the next 2 weeks to finish them because it's spring break soon." She finishes her sentence and everyone cheers at the fact that it's spring break.

Everyone except Dylan. He sits there with a blank expression on his face, staring out of the window.

Everyone starts talking and Ellie suddenly turns to me, her eyes wide and her mouth wide open.

I knew she wanted to tell me something because she always makes this face when she's forgotten to tell me something important.

"I forgot to tell you!" She starts saying.

See what I mean;)

"My brother asked when you were next coming round yesterday! And I was like why do you wanna know? And he was like well coz she's cute, and I was like omfg you have a crush on my best friend and he was like I don't even know her I just think she's cute and I was like omfg!"

This is how she tells interesting stories and it's quite funny to see her babbling on, and doing all the facial expressions and voices along with the story.

"Wait your brother thinks I'm cute?" I ask her.

"Yeppppp." She replies.

Well her brother was very good looking.

"But you two cannot hook up, because he'll just steal you every time you're round!" She whined and I laughed.

"I'm not gonna hook up with your brother Elz!" I say and she looks relieved.

"Good." She grins.

Ellie's pov;

The rest of the day went really quick, and I find myself outside of Dylan's door yet again.

I only go round there when I need to knock some sense into him.

And because I like annoying him.

I walk up to the door and knock on it.

He opens the door in just his boxers, and I cover my eyes with my hands.

"Jesus Christ Dylan! Put some damn clothes on!" I shout and push past him.

My hands were still covering my eyes, but I can just sense he's smirking right now.

"You didn't seem to mind it a few months ago." He says.

"Can we never bring that up again please I'd like to keep my food down." I retort.

"You can open your eyes now lil red, I have clothes on." He says.

I slowly remove my hands, just in case he was lying, but he wasn't, he has sweat pants and a white t-shirt on.

"Well thank god for that." I say relieved and he smirks.

"So what do I owe you this visit?" He says to me.

"Well." I start saying, but stop because I see Dylan walk over to his sofa and sit down.

I stare at him quizzically.

"Oh I'm just sitting down because I figured you're gonna rant, so I may be here a while, so I just thought I'd get comfy." He smiles.

I roll my eyes and sit on the chair opposite him.

"Do I smell or something?" He asks and looks at the space next to him.

"Well I don't wanna sit next to you, you're ew." I smirk.

Dylan's pov;

"Well I don't wanna sit next to you, you're ew." She smirks.

This girl has the same level of sarcasm as me.

I roll my eyes.

"So explain why you're in my house yet again. I mean I'm assuming it's not because you want to f**k me." I smirk and she rolls her eyes.

"I'm here because I want to talk to you." She replies.

"Go on then." I say to her.

She tells me that I'm out of order for shouting at Courtney, and that it's not her fault her drink got spiked as it could have happened to anyone. She then tells me I need to 'sort it out' and apologise to her.

"I said to you, I don't want you hurting my best mate. Shawn's already hurt her, and I don't want her to be hurt again." She says to me and she looks serious.

"She didn't listen to me. I told her not to let her drink out of sight, and she didn't listen to me." I simply replied.

"So f*****g what? She let her drink out of her sight for 2 seconds! She's not used to this partying s**t, so give her a break!" She raises her voice.

"I just wanted to keep her safe." I said and she sighed.

"Look I know your intentions were probably good, but you can't keep flipping out at her for silly things. It's not fair on her." She tries to reason with me. "Please apologise to her." She pleads.

"I might do. I'm still pissed with her at the moment, so isn't it better to apologise when I've calmed down?" I say to her.

"Yeah, yeah okay." She replies.

We sit there in silence for a few minutes.

"We just had another heart to heart." I say to her and both our faces cringe.

"We need to stop doing that." She says to me, and I agree.

She gets up to leave, but trips over her shoelace and lands on top of me.

"ARGHHHHHHHHH!" We both scream in unison, and I push her off.

She rushes to get on her feet again, when she does she stands there awkwardly.

"Let's um, never bring that disgusting moment up again." She finally says.

"Um yeah good idea." I agree.

She walks towards the door to leave, but I stop her.

"Hey guess what." I say to her.

"What?" She turns around to look at me.

"I hate you." I smirk at her.

"I hate you too." She smirks and walks out, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I do need to apologise to Courtney, but I have to do it when I've calmed down.
