Ok its one hour till Phillips comes over to pick me up for the date which i am so not happy about... 

i put on a nice dress, sneakers and put my hair in a french braid.

"What are you so getting dressed up for?" Benny asked. Oh no what should i say.

"Benny i need to tell you something..."
"What?"                                                                                                                                                                                        "Phillip asked me out on a date and... i agreed."

"WHAT! ARE YOU CRAZY REMEMBER WHEN HE BEAT YOU UP AND ARE YOU FORGETTING THAT HE IS OUT ENEMY AND ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS HES SAID TO US." Benny said furiously but suddenly his mood changes rapidly from angry to...sadness and betrayal.

"...how could you do this to us." Benny said before walking out of the room. I run out after him but hes already down the street.

"BENNY!" I screamed i begged him to come back but he just kept running and didnt stop. But neither did i, i kept running after him and followed him to the sandlot. I tackled him, got on top of him and pinned his arms above his head.

"Please just listen to me!"

"What is there to say Court! you are going on a date with Phillips! he beat you he mocked us he he.. he was horrible to us and you! and your just gonna give him a chance just like that..."

"He seemed nice at the lake... he didnt seem like he was before he seemed legitimately genuine. I thought i might as well give him a chance..." I said putting my head down.

"Its not like i deserve anything better..." I whispered but thankfully Benny didnt here that all i could see on his face was betrayal. So i ran away couldnt hear him call out my name, say to stop or come after me,  that hurt even more but i derserve it because its my fault. i finally reach home.

I put my head in my hands and let the hot salty tears run down my face. How could i do this to him, I like BENNY not Phillips, hes just a jerk. I lock myself in the bathroom and just sit there crying for half an hour before i hear Phillips knock on the door and again and again and again. I dont move, dont make a sound.

"Courtney? are you in there?" Phillips asked.

But i cant move... i dont want to move. I betrayed my friends, my family. They dont want me anymore, i dont deserve them. So i started packing up my things, i packed up everything and left. I just started walking, i dont know where im going but i just keep walking.  So i go to the one place where i deserve to go... Toms.

I walked to his front door and knocked. He opened.

"Well well look whose come back."
