Chapter 24: Best Friends Don't Take Advantage of Best Friends~

"Court, just let me - "

"No," I cut him off, "I think you've done enough talking. It's my turn."

Robert looked hesitant for a second but he finally seemed to shut up and nod for me to continue.

"I trusted you. I asked you if anything happened between us and you lied to me. That night, we had sex? How could you? You knew I was drunk. How could you take advantage of me like that?" I choked out, fighting back tears.

"I didn't take advantage of you - "

"You practically raped me!" I screamed.

"Courtney, c'mon..." Robert begged.

"Get out."

"What?"

"Get the fuck out."

"C'mon, Court," he begged once again, "You're my best friend."

"Best friends don't take advantage of best friends. You disgust me. Get the fuck out of my house. I don't want to see you ever again."

His eyes seemed to slightly become glossy, but he quickly blinked it away. His face was the perfect image of both hurt and guilt.

"I'm sorry," he stated.

"I don't give a shit." It was the truth. His apology doesn't mean anything. He took something from me I could never get back, something that meant a lot to me. He also ruined the best thing that ever happened to me. I could never forgive him for either.

He lowered his head in either shame or to hide his tears from me. When he looked back up at me with red, blotchy eyes and wet cheeks my question was answered. I clenched my jaw, wanting nothing more than to hug him and say anything to bring Robert's perfect smile back on his face. I quickly recovered when I remembered he had just single handedly ruined the somewhat perfect life I had worked so long to create.

"Please," he pleaded, "You're the only person I have left."

I looked up at him in confusion, "No I'm not. You still have the Crew."

He chuckled humorlessly as he wiped his eyes slightly, "After they find out about all of this, they're gonna hate me just as much as Austin does now."

"Just as much as Austin and I do," I corrected, "Get out of my house."

At the recognition of my hatred of him, he finally seemed to comprehend that he was defeated. Without saying another word, he walked out, slamming the door behind him.

I sighed heavily and ran a hand through my hair.

After everything that happened this year, after all the things Austin and I have been through, I really thought we could work through anything. He helped me through my father's death; he ended my two year battle of self-harm, and has been the absolute perfect boyfriend. And how do I repay him? The night he leaves for Miami to be one step closer towards his dream, I get shitfaced and have sex with his best friend.

Although I've never verbally questioned it, I never understood why Austin loved me at all. I'm a mess. The majority of our time spent together, I was depressed. The only thing that brought me joy was Austin and our friends. I create more problems than I do solutions. I came with so much baggage, Austin knew that, and still wanted a relationship with me. For whatever reason, he loved me - and I fucked that up. Ignoring my own emotions right now, I can't help but cringe at the idea of what is going through Austin's head right now. He more than likely hates me. He's probably repulsed by me and wants nothing to do with me. Above all, I know he's hurt. That's what kills me.

I hurt Austin, the one person who cared the most about me. I could never forgive myself.

"Ok, why the fuck did I just see Austin and Robert storm out of here ready to kill the first person they see?"

For once, I'm glad I didn't lock that fucking door.

I collapsed into the arms of my blonde best friend, letting the tears flow shamelessly down my face; silently thanking god that Sarah doesn't have the courtesy to knock.

The good news is, I've had some spare time and have written the next chapter so the wait will not be long this time!

But on the topic of this chapter, ugh it sucks, I fucking know. I mean they broke up AND Courtney doesn't want anything to do with Robert. Depressing, right? Sorry guys. It had to happen.
