Courtney's pov
I wake up with billy and sigh. 2 years. He kisses my shoulders "I know" I wipe the tear that falls. "I'm fine it's just a regular day" he sighs "baby you don't gotta wear that armor around me. You're in pain I wanna help and be here. Not be pushed away" "I want tonight to be perfect. I want them all to pay. That's it. I want justice" I reply. He kisses my knuckles "and you'll get it. We can taunt her leave her squirming. Her dad is still being held at Stu's"I nod "good. Then uncle cotton will be freed because he has motive to kill his wife" no one knows about my relation to Cotton Weary. He's a distant uncle. He knows what's going on and why. I told him to keep talking to Gale. and insist he's innocent. Which he is. We smile and kiss one another and shower and I dress in
He kisses me "if you wanna leave school early we will. Let me know if you wanna visit them" I reply "can we go before school? I'll be too busy to do it later" he nods "of course cmon. We takin your car?" I nod grabbing the keys and he takes them from me "you're not lifting a finger. Stu will rid of the principle" I nod. The principle was a creep. Had sex with Maureen. Just like every male adult in this town. He also tried with me and billy walked in and well...he and Stu weren't happy. So he's our next target. I get in the car and he tells me "todays the day baby." I nod "everything will go according to plan" he kisses me "it'll just be me, you and Stu. You've helped us with our acting too." I nod and get out the car and approach my family's plot.
"Todays the day guys" I tell them dropping the roses we stopped to get at their graves. "I know it's not what you wanted for me. But jail isn't enough for what they did to you. To me. The lies too. It's too much. I wouldn't be able to prove that it was them anyway. But justice will be served. In my own way. I miss you guys so much. It hurts. So much. But I go on. Dad I forgive you. You too mom. I couldn't say it before and you died before I could apologize for the shit I said. But with tonight and how it's going to go. I can let go now. Closure. And I forgive you. It's not fair she gets to live as if it didn't happen like her and her mother didn't take you from me. It's not fair" I sniffle wiping my tears and billy takes me into his arms "she's safe with me mr and mrs Logan. I'll protect her with my last breath if I have to." I give his arm a squeeze "I'll see you guys in a bit I have to go to school" and I kiss the headstones gently tracing the letters with my finger. We walk and walk passed Maureen's grave and I spit on it "cunt" I mutter. He chuckles "let's go" we get to school and I see Stu and he nods my way and i send him a smile and he hugs me tightly "what are you doing here today Court? You should be home curled up, mourning" billy says "she insisted on not wallowing" and then we're told of the early day and we leave with a chuckle considering we just got here. Stu let's them know of the party at my house. Fun.
We go to mine and go over the plan. Stu having already moved a drugged Sidney's dad here. We set up and people show up. Sidney and Tatum show up and eventually Stu tells her to get him beer from my garage. I smirk. It's to time.
