The Bet

Chapter 8

WARNING: MAY BE TRIGGERING
(Courtney's POV)

I ran my hand through my red black hair, eyeing myself as I stood before the mirror. You could say I looked, different. Un-Courtney-like. I wore (pic at the top or side) a white top with a leather jacket, a crimson mini skirt and some black tights, a dark beanie above my head.

As of today, I was a whole new person.

I heard a knock on the door, so taking my time, I went to open it. Nobody was outside, except a note on the floor. I opened it to read its content:

"'I haven't seen your face in ages, and now it feels we're as close as strangers'
Remember this song? Me too. It's our song.
If you still don't know my name
More notes will come like this one came
Some may lead you across the town
Yet I believe you'll crack the code down
But if you know who wrote this art
Just remember you're always in my heart"

Me being confused was an understatement. I mean, I recognise the lyrics, yet I don't know from where (song at the top/side Close As Strangers by 5SOS). I threw the letter away, thinking it was for someone else.

I went to the kitchen to make myself some lunch, grabbing the knife and some potatoes and began chopping it up. As I was mincing, I began to focus on the knife. The sharp, shiny, silver surface just looked so appealing to my wrist. I dropped the knife and took a few steps away, trying to rationalise my thoughts.

It's good to try new things...

My mind told me. So I went ahead and grabbed the knife. One cut. The blood slowly began emerging from the gap, a new sort of pleasure coming with it. Two cuts. The red liquid flowed from both cuts in sync. Three cuts. The table began to get red coloured stains.

After a few moments I grabbed a towel, placing it over my cuts as I waited for the bleeding to seize. But it didn't. I pressed the felt harder against my arm, only causing some sort of pressure that made it leak faster. Dark spots began showing up in my vision, letting out a loud scream before falling unconscious to the ground.

(Bridgette's POV)

I had been helping Duncan for weeks, and today was finally the day he would beg for forgiveness from Courtney. I walk up to her house to place a second note, when I hear a loud ear piercing scream coming from inside. I quickly grab the spare key which is kept in the second bush to the left, and open the door.

"Courtney?" I ask as I make my way through her home. I enter the kitchen and find her laying on the ground, blood dripping from her arm. "What have you done to yourself?!" I shout as I call 999(or 911 or whatever floats your boat). While I wait for the ambulance to arrive, I study her closely.

Her hair and wardrobe had changed, that's for sure. There were dark circles under her eyes, indicating she hadn't been sleeping much, and she must've definitely been quite unhappy to let it go this far.

The ambulance arrived and took her away, off towards the hospital.
