Courtney's P.O.V

---------------------------------------

Don't go after her. It wasn't that hard to understand. All Mickie had to do was leave Arizona alone, this time not go after, this time not try to fix things with her, and yet she couldn't do that. Mickie had to follow her, had to try and make things right, even though I had clearly told her not to do so. It felt like it was years ago that Mickie and I were close, back then she would never have gotten annoyed with me and walked away when I asked her to do something. This was her last chance, and she had blown it, she had again chosen to leave me alone and go after Arizona, but I wasn't going to let her do it again, my pride wouldn't allow me to.

Pushing open the door to my living room, I throw my bag onto the couch and grab my laptop from the coffee table before taking a seat beside my bag. I sigh as I tuck my feet up underneath me and turn my laptop on, smiling when a picture of me and Mickie when we were ten fills the screen.

Mickie's hair is her natural light brown colour and she has her arm wrapped around me, a huge smile on her face, while I stand beside her with a smirk on my face as I know that any moment Violet Nahum, my year six enemy, is about to find her expensive snow globe that she won for being the 'sweetest' student smashed because I 'accidentally' knocked it over.

The moment the photo is taken little Miss Sweetest Student will find the smashed snow globe and scream out, and Mickie, being her kind self, will run to try and help, but I will stop her, telling her that the globe was rightfully her's not Violet's, and that she didn't deserve Mickie's kindness. Mickie will of course listen to me and stay with me watching as all the teachers and parents crowd around Violet.

Violet Nahum wasn't the only one who didn't deserve Mickie's kindness, so many people don't deserve her kindness. It angered me to think that I had spent years making sure no one took advantage of her good nature but the minute Arizona Levy walks in that all changes. Arizona was able to take advantage of her and Mickie didn't even realise it, I had tried again and again to make sure that it didn't happen, but Mickie seemed hellbent on letting Arizona control her.

I slammed the lid of my laptop down, not wanting to see the picture any longer, with good timing too, as the sound of the doorbell rang out through the empty house. I groaned and sent a silent prayer that it wasn't Marc, I really couldn't deal with him today of all days. I placed my laptop down on the sofa and slowly walked to the front door knowing that whoever it was knocking could wait just a little while longer.

"Hey," Mickie smiled brightly at me as I pulled open the front door, she looked freezing standing there, her coat done right up and her scarf wrapped tightly around her neck. "can I come in?" She asked, making me push the front door open wider for her to enter, she understood my actions and stepped into the house.

Things were tense between us as she took a seat on the sofa, the same seat I had just been sitting in. I moved my bag and sat down beside her, she turned her body around so we were facing one another. I didn't know what to say to her or what to ask her, I was still unhappy with her for leaving me earlier today.

"I'm sorry for just dropping by like this." Mickie said, breaking the awkward silence between us gratefully. I had no clue why she was here, but if it was anything to do with Arizona Levy then I didn't want to hear it, I didn't feeling like being threatened by her again.
