thirty.

a/n sorry for not updating i have ideas but i have no clue how to execute them 😃👌

duncan.

i walked into the room unfazed. it was only mclean and his royal subject pressing keys. i nodded to him then sat myself down. a minute or two passed and the door handle jiggled. i sat up, hoping it was my princess but instead it was ms. dalton. she was wearing a pink blouse and her signature ponytail. "hi duncan" she said casually. "we uh talked to courtney and she told us everything of what happened. it is fully confidential." she continued. "this will only be a few minutes then you can head home because it will be the end of the day when this talk finishes". i nodded in agreement. i did not want to be stuck here. although, i did care for court's case. "just tell us everything you know".

i sighed. i had no idea courtney had this much of an effect on me. woah. "oh, oh okay, uhm" i had no idea where to start. i grabbed the back of my neck subconsciously in a ponder. i do that a lot. "well, we were on a date in the "woods"" i said with two bunny ears held up. "and we were having a fun time when courtney had to go to the toilet. and, well basically i don't know what happened next."
"did she disappear?" ms. dalton asked leaning in.
"uh yeah, kind of" i shrugged. "i didn't see her for the next forty-eight hours so i assume she felt sick and left" i shrugged again.
"uh-huh" mumbled ms. dalton as she scrambled some letters down on her paper while chef typed. mclean was unbothered. he actually seemed bored to be honest. wow. "this may be hard to communicate to us, but what do you think happened to her for those many hours?"
i gulped. i was praying she'd forget this question.

"i think what happened was...." i sat back for a second. "i think what happened was.. she got knocked out by breathing ken doll and was taken into the middle of nowhere and.. raped" i finally said in one breath.
"and by "breathing ken doll" you're referring to justin?"
"yes"
she clicked her pen and shared a look with mclean.
"i guess that's it. oh and look at that, almost time to go" she smiled while pointing to the ticking clock. i smiled and left. as soon as i got out, everything was like a blur. i didn't know what to feel anymore. the girl i live and breathe is so criminally damaged by a sick bastard, and i can't do anything about it. and even though she claims she will get over it blah blah blah it will stick with her. courtney feels deeply. i would know. i just kept blaming myself even though down in the pit of my stomach i knew it wasn't my fault.

"hey asshole" i heard over my crowed thoughts. it was courtney standing there in front of me. "hi to you too insult i can't think of right now but will come back to me later" i answered. she let out a giggle with her cute voice. "hey do you know where heather is? she's finding out the sex soon and she asked me and bridgette to be there" she asked peering over my broad shoulders. "hasn't it only been like a month?" i said. she punched me lightly, that was rare by the way. "are you that self involved? it's been like five months" she said with a hand on her hip.
"uhhh, i'm pretty sure that's not how pregnancy works" i said mimicking her in her sassy tone even though i was being genuine.
"yeah i know but the writer of this poorly written story can't be fucked to get out of bed and remember how pregnancies function"
"oh ok" i said grinning. i don't know why, but this random change in her attitude made me feel happier inside. was she finally healing?
"i'll check the bathroom" she said walking away. my consciousness kicked in and stopped her. "princess, it's a public bathroom, are you sure? you could just get someone else to look? maybe leshawna or lindsay?" i said desperately. "as if i'd let lindsay look for something" she answered playfully. "besides, I have to go in there some day" she said again as she pulled away from my grip. "yeah, but it could set off something you didn't know would...you know... set something off" i said looking into her deep eyes. "oh please" she said again, except tugging her arm more. "you're overreacting" she stated. "duncan, if you stop me from using the bathroom i will force you to spend an hour with izzy" courtney whisper yelled. "ok, fine go" i finally said giving in. she scrunched up her face as she pulled away. "for the record, i do not need your permission" she scoffed.

she was right but i couldn't help it. i'd probably die if something happened to her. i knew i was definitely overreacting. she was a grown woman and could use the bathroom whenever she pleased but the thought of what happened the last time she stepped foot into a public bathroom made my gut wrench. "i'm just looking out for you!" i said sincerely.
"i don't have to be looked after, i'm not a baby".
"yeah, yeah go on your little power trip and come back to me crying".

shit. that was a bad choice.
she looked at me. "you're a real ass, you know that right?" said courtney before disappearing through the bathroom doors.

a/n can y'all tell I'm indecisive 😜🔥
