let the light in

Pick you up at home, quarter to three
Ask you if you want somethin' to eat
Drive around, get drunk, do it over again..

Courtney's POV
I woke up yawning and I heard a loud bang in my door. I looked outside and it was Duncan's car.
Is he going to do this every day?
I quickly fixed up my room then ran to get the door.
"What do you want" I said, rolling my eyes.
"Lets go somewhere" he said.
"Cant, I have to study because I'm two steps away from being a lawyer and you're not about to slow me down" I replied.
"Take a chill. You know that half of passing any test is to not be overwhelmed? Your overwhelming yourself" he said
I thought for a minute.. he is kind of right..
No! He is never right. I'm always right.
"Quit gaslighting me!" I said.
"Cmon get ready and we'll go to a park so we can study together" He giggled.
"Fine, whatever" I said, letting him in again.

Ooh, let the light in.
At your back door yelling cause' I wanna come in.
Oooh, turn your light on..
Look at us, you and I back at it again..

I stormed off to my room to get ready. I took a shower then brushed my teeth and got dressed wearing the clothes I had picked out last night.
A pink tight lace cropped tank top that showed up to my belly button, short low rise cheeky white cargo shorts with a pink heart embroidered on the back, my pink pearl bracelets and friendship bracelets from Bridgette, my pink rose quartz Kendra Scott necklace, my everyday diamond earrings, and most importantly my gold anklet.

"You done yet?" He asked
"Hush" I said, smiling.
Nobody rushes ME.
Anyway, I practically bathe myself in cozy vanilla bourbon perfume and do my complex 10 step skincare routine.
My makeup is very simple, usually just highlights, lip gloss, and mascara and sometimes blush when I feel special.
For hair, I brushed it out and put a pink heart hair clip in it then fixed my bangs that seemed to be all over the place.
Then, I had put on my adidas shoes and brought money.
I checked myself in the mirror one last time staring at myself before I went out. I walked to the living room.
"Lets go now, I'm driving" I told him.
He hates when I drive. I just know he thinks it makes him look girly and soft letting me drive but that's just silly.
I pull up next to a park and surprisingly there was only 2 other people there.

'Cause I like to love, to love, to love, to love you
I hate to hate, to hate, to hate, to hate you..

"Woah its really empty" he said, looking around.
"Yeah it is.." I said, checking the time.
"Wanna go see Heather and Alejandro?" He said
"Of course! It's been so long I'm surprised your still in touch with them" I said.

'Cause I want, I want, I want, I want you
I need to, need to, need to need you
Put the TV on and the flowers in a vase, lie your head.

We arrived at their house just to notice they're lights were off and nobody seems to be home.
How I wish she turned the light on or let the light in. Something to indicate she was there.
"Hmm let's just study at your house then, if that's cool with you"
"Why not yours?" I asked
"It's.. really messy" he said
"Oh okay" I said.
We arrived back at my house and chilled for a while.
"What's that" he said, pointing at my paper.
"Just some silly notes I made during my law school time" I said, taking a look at the paper.
"Hmm interesting" he said
I giggled.
We studied a bit more, me ranting about how law school is going so far and my successes and how much the people sometimes drives me crazy, but I also need it.

Look at us, you and me back at it again..

It got pretty dark and I fell asleep on the couch with a paper in my hand.
