Cursed

Chapter nine

Courtney's pov;

And this is how it starts,

Take your shoes off in the back of my van,

Yeah my shirt looks so good,

When it's just hanging off your back.

"Ughhhh." I groaned as I tried to wake myself up.

I know The 1975 are my favourite band, but seriously, it's 6:45 in the morning!

I turned around to see a figure sitting in my arm chair, and my first instinct was to scream.

"ARGHHHHHH!" I screamed loudly.

"ARGHHHHHHHHH!" The figure screamed and started running around my room.

I didn't have my contact lenses in, and I wasn't wearing my glasses, so I couldn't make out who the figure was.

I stood there screaming in shock, as the figure carried on screaming running around my room.

I ran over to my glasses, and rammed them on my face.

The figure screaming and running around my room came into vision.

It was Ellie.

"ELLIE WHAT THE f**k ARE YOU DOING?!" I screamed, trying to get her to shut up.

Her screaming came to an abrupt stop.

"Oh, morning sleepy head." She smiled at me.

Was this girl insane or what?

"Ellie, I'm still trying to come to terms as to what the f**k just happened?" I asked scrunching my face up to show confusion.

"You screamed at me." She simply said.

"But.. W-why would you scream as well? And run around? Surely the normal thing to do would tell me who you were straight away." I asked her, still really confused.

"Oh, no, if someone screams at me, my first instinct is to scream and run around. I saw my cousin do it once, and thought it was a good idea." She smiles as if it was normal.

"How olds your cousin?" I asked her.

"3." She replied.

I started to rub the temples of my head, to let her know that there was absolutely no logic to that at all.

"Anyways." She changed the subject. "I may have got involved with your um relationships or friendships or whatever you wanna call them."

"Ellie...." I started to say. "What did you do?" I asked, scared to know the answer.

She told me what happened between her and Dylan, and how she went round his house, and my eyes widened.

"He what? He tried to make me hate him, so I wouldn't want to spend anymore time with him, so his feelings didn't grow for me?...." I trailed off, even more confused as I was a second ago.

"Yep. I told him that, that was a stupid idea as well." She shrugged and starting applying some red lipstick to her pink lips.

"So is he gonna talk to me?" I asked whilst gathering some clothes up so I could get in the shower.

"I think so. If he doesn't, I'll just have to go round there again." She smiled.

"Thanks." I grinned at her. "You really are the best."

"I know." She grinned back.

I wasn't going to friend zone Shawn for Dylan, because I do like Shawn, and I think it might be best if I'm just friends with Dylan.

"I'm gonna get in the shower, make yourself at home." I said to Ellie.

"Don't have to ask me twice." She smirked, as she got comfy on my bed and turned my TV on.

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

We got to school slightly late, because Ellie wanted to pick up Starbucks on the way to school, and I wasn't complaining because Starbucks is fab

My first class was English.

I made my way to my English class, and saw Shawn in there already.

"Hey beautiful." He smirked and came over to hug me.

"Hey Shawn." I smiled, and hugged him back.

"So, I know this might be a bit full on, and you can say no if you want, but I was wondering if you wanted to come round mine tonight, for like a second date? I know we just went on our first date last night, but I really just want to spend more time with you." He blushed.

He is so sweet!

"I'd love to." I beamed at him.

"Cool." He smiled, showing his perfect teeth.

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

It was lunchtime already, and I made my way over to my usual seat, when someone blocked my way.

It was the blonde b***h, Mandy.

"I saw you and Shawn getting quite close in English." She smirked.

"We were talking? Is that a f*****g crime?" I snapped at her.

To be quite honest, I was getting sick of her s**t.

"Ooh feisty." She laughed, and her friends joined in.

"Listen you blonde b***h. I'm in a f*****g good mood, and not you, or anyone else for that matter is going to ruin it."

I snatched her friends lipstick out her hand.

"Now, eat this so you can be pretty on the inside bitch." I said, then walked off leaving her, and her friends lost for words.

I made my way over to my friends, and told them about my encounter with blondie, and they all fist-bumped me, and laughed.

"Has lover boy talked to you yet?" Ellie asked me whilst wiggling her eyebrows up and down.

I let out a sigh.

"No. He hasn't actually." I told her, and she stopped stuffing her face, with what looked like a pizza wrap.

"What the f**k? He told me he was gonna talk to you. You want me to have another word with the punk?" Ellie asked me.

"Nah, just leave it. He knows where I am if he wants to apologise." I told her.

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

The rest of the day went faster than I expected, and Dylan still hadn't spoken to me. Not that I expected him to anyway.

I walked over to my wardrobe, to pick what to wear for mine and Shawn's second date.

I found it quite cute that he wanted to see me again so soon.

I picked a pair of black skinny jeans, and a navy strappy t-shirt.

I left my hair natural, leaving the loose beach waves that ran down my back do whatever they felt like doing.

I put minimal amount of makeup on, grabbed my converses, my leather jacket, my bag, and made my way downstairs.

I really wanted to actually drive my new car tonight, but Shawn insisted on picking me up again.

"I'm going out mum, I'll see you later." I said to her and gave her kiss.

"Okay my love, text me when you're on your way home. And have fun." She shot me a wink.

Oh dear god mum, please don't ever do that again. I thought to myself.

"Will do mum." I kissed her cheek and walked out the door.

I saw Shawn's car already sitting there, and I bounded up to it.

"Hey." I said as I got in the car. "I hope you haven't been sitting here long?" I asked, and kissed him on the cheek.

"No, just pulled up. You look lovely by the way." He beamed at me.

The car journey consisted mainly of us just chatting about the annoying people in our English class.

We pulled up to his house, and this time I got out of the car myself.

I followed him into his house, and looked around.

It was beautiful.

So warm and welcoming.

Shawn took my jacket off and hung it up.

"Such a gentlemen." I giggled.

"I do try." He smirked.

He motioned me to follow him into his front room, so I did.

When I walked in, there was fairy lights hanging everywhere, and he had transformed his front room into a fairytale wonderland.

On the floor, there was a picnic blanket, laid with rose petals, and boxes of pizza.

"Oh my gosh Shawn!" I exclaimed. "This is so beautiful! It's so thoughtful of you!" I squealed and hugged him.

"Well you deserve the best." He beamed.

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

We had finished all our pizza, and we had watched the whole of 22 Jump Street.

Shawn got up, and held out his hand for me to grab it.

"Come on, I want to show you something upstairs." He smirked.

This was a different kind of smirk though.

Something about it, looked kind of..... Evil?

I shook my weird thoughts, and took his hand.

I followed him up the stairs, and he took me to his bedroom.

I walked into his room, and he sat on the bed, patting the space next to him, so I would sit.

I wasn't too sure with all of it, but I went along with it anyway.

I sat next to him, and he cupped my jaw with his hand.

He stared into my eyes.

"Courtney, I've only known you for a few weeks, but you've changed my life. I'm so glad I needed to borrow a pen that lesson, because it lead me to meet the most beautiful person I've ever met." He leant in and started to kiss me.

I kissed him back, and the kiss got rougher.

More lustful.

Shawn's hand snakes down to my stomach, as he picked me up and threw me on the bed.

"Shawn." I started to say, but he cut me off by kissing me.

He started grinding against me, and I could feel his little friend.

"Shawn stop." I asked.

It just didn't feel right.

"Shhh baby." He said, and started kissing my neck.

I let out a small moan because my neck is my weak spot.

His hands started unbuttoning my jeans, and taking them off.

"No Shawn, please stop." I pleaded.

I didn't want to lose my virginity this way.

"Courtney shh, just let it happen." Shawn said, and it brought back memories from the nightmare I had a few nights ago.

He went to take my underwear off, but I managed to gather all my strength together to push him off.

I jumped off the bed, and immediately backed into the corner.

"Shawn please stop. I'm not ready for this." I pleaded, trying to get him to see sense.

This wasn't the Shawn I knew.

"You might not be ready, but I am." He smirked and grabbed hold of me, forcing his dirty kisses against my neck

"Please no!" I cried out.

Just then the door swung open, and a figure emerged.

Dylan.

"GET THE f**k OFF HER NOW YOU d**k!" Dylan yelled and ripped Shawn off me, beating him to the ground.

I took this opportunity to quickly slip my jeans back on.

Dylan was throwing punches at Shawn like there was no tommorow.

I had to get Dylan off him before he killed him.

"Dylan! Get off him now, you'll kill him!" I begged.

"f*****g good! One less dickhead in the world then!" He spat and carried on.

Shit. I have to do something before Dylan really does kill Shawn.

I grabbed hold of Dylan's arm using all my strength, and managed to get him to look into my eyes.

"Dylan please. Stop. For me?" I pleaded.

Dylan huffed and got off Shawn.

"You're f*****g lucky Courtney's here. Or you'd be dead right now. Come near her again, and I'll finish the job. Do you hear me?" Dylan growled at him.

"Loud and clear." Shawn smirked and got off the floor wiping his bloody nose.

Dylan grabbed my wrist and dragged me down the stairs.

I quickly grabbed my bag, then my jacket, and my shoes, not bothering to put them on.

"Get in the car." Dylan barked.

I did as I was told and got in the car.

The car journey was silent until we turned up at a house.

It wasn't my house.

It was Dylan's.

I decided not to ask him why we were at his, and just got out and followed him into his house.

"Sit." He simply said and pointed to the couch.

I sat on the couch, and Dylan walked out.

Seconds later he reappeared with a glass of water.

He handed the glass to me.

"Why the f**k were you at his house?" He spat.

Is he serious? I nearly got r***d and he's asking about why I was at his house?

"If you must know, I was on a date with him." I said.

"Another one? You only went on the first one last night." He said to me.

"I know. But he said he wanted to see me again. Anyways how did you know I'd be there?" I asked him, intrigued to know the answer.

"If you must know." He mocked me. "Ben Smith, Shawn's mate came to mine, and told me he thought Shawn was up to something dodgy with you."

"Why would Ben come to you?" I asked him.

"I dunno. He said that he thought you and me were mates coz he always sees us together or some shit." He replied.

"Okay..." I said.

"I really thought Shawn was a genuine guy." I sniffled, and mentally scolded myself for crying in front of him.

"Come here." He said and he wrapped his arms around me.

I snuggled into him feeling safe.

"You're staying here tonight." He told me.

I didn't feel like arguing with me so I just agreed and texted my mum to let her know I was staying round a mates.

"Dylan?" I whispered.

"Yes?" He replied.

"Why did you try to make me hate you?" I asked him, eager to know the answer. "That was a really dumb thing to do." I admitted.

"I know. And I'm sorry. I just didn't want to develop even more feelings for you, because I'm scared I'll fall for you. And I'm scared that if I fall for you, I'll hurt you. And that's the last thing I want to do." He admitted, and I smiled.

"I'm scared of falling for you too Dylan. I also have feelings for you. I'm scared because you're a bad boy. You hardly focus in school, and fail nearly all your classes, but do you think I care about that? No I don't. I don't care because all that doesn't define who you are. But I'd rather be scared together, then scared alone." I said, and I meant every word of it.

"You definitely are something Williams." Dylan smirked against my forehead. "I promise I'll never let anyone hurt you again."

"Pinky swear?" I asked and held out my pinky?

Dylan smirked at my childish gesture.

"Pinky swear." He said and locked my pinky with his.

A/N; I know Shawn Mendes isn't a d**k in real life, I just had to get rid of him somehow because I want Dylan and Courtney to be together, so don't come at me with pitchforks:)
