After Them (Courtney x Gwen)

Chapter. 4

Courtney's POV

I let Gwen in my room and went to the kitchen to get snacks.

And I thought what Duncan did was bad...

"Ms. Barlow, please allow me to finish what you're doing." Our maid, Nonnie, took the small tray from off the table and started making the rest of the little sandwiches I was preparing.

"Oh.. Thanks, Nonnie but please just call me Courtney. At least when my parents are gone you can call me Courtney." I softly smiled at her as I saw the relief in her eyes.

"Thank you, Courtney. Here you go." She hands me the tray and walks away probably to go clean the master bedroom.

I pick up the tray and begin walking back to my room. A loud thud against the door makes me almost drop all the little sandwiches.

Quickly, I open the door to see Gwen bawling on my bed. Her phone was on the floor by the door. "Gwen, what's wrong!?" I set the tray down on my desk, not caring about what was there already.

She simply points at the phone -which was by the way sitting face up- I glance down and read:

"Idk, if you're going to be like that maybe we should just break up. I'm sorry Gwen, goodbye."

I let out a small gasp. Trent can't do this, no.

I pick up the phone- "leave it." Gwen says through a sob.

"I don't want to be with him if he's going to leave that quickly..." She buries her head deeper into her knees letting out louder sobs.

She tenses up as I put an arm around her and comfort her. "What happened? If you don't mind me asking that is."

She sniffles and clears her throat. "Well......"

Gwen's POV

I step into Courtney's house, Courtney in front me.

Wow this place is huge, nothing like my house at all!

She leads me to her room and leaves to make snacks. Lol good, I'm starving. Me and Trent were supposed to be getting food but oh wait-

My mood drops and I can feel tension building in my head. A buzz in my pocket breaks my thoughts.

"Did you seriously think that I wouldn't even read it the message? Wow how arrogant Gwen."

I curse under my breath.

"Arrogant? I'm the arrogant one?? Oh sure, Trent call me arrogant after YOU left me at the mall. Sure I'm the arrogant one."

"Gwen don't act like this"

"Act like what? Upset? I think I have the right to be upset, don't you?"

"You're always acting like this"

"K."

"Idk, if you're going to be like that maybe we should just break up. I'm sorry Gwen, goodbye."

I open my mouth in shock. What the actual hell just happened. I chuck my phone God knows where and bury my head into my knees right as Courtney comes back.

Why are boys so mean...
