"Im Ali and Im Fabulous"

Chapter 5: Practically disowned

Ali's POV:

My vision starts clearing up. I open my eyes to see that Courtney has moved in front of me. She's looking straight into my eyes and had a sly smile glued on her face, as if to be saying

"I'm the boss now, 'cause soon, you'll be gone!"

But I've realized that she's barely holding on anymore, so I take in a few deep breaths, before doing what i should have done 30 minutes ago.
I yell

"MOM!!!! HELP!!!!"

Courtney squeezes tighter, thumbs digging into my throat.
I cough.
I hear the sound of muffled footsteps rushing down a flight of stairs.
I see a blurred version of mom.
She has a look of disbelief on her face.
Courtney let's go.

I double over coughing. Mom rushes to me and puts her arms around me, then she let's go of me and looks at Courtney with an angry look, that transforms to sad, which changes to confused, and she looks at both of us.

Courtney's POV:

So? I tried to choke her. She deserved it!
I look at mom with no expression.

"What is going on here girls!?" mom yells

Me and Ali both open our mouths as if to say something, and then shut it quickly.

"Well? Explain!"

"Courtney tried to choke me!"

"You deserved it!" I yell in response.

"Ok, calm down girls. Ali let's hear your side of the story first!"

"Ok... We were just watching TV when Courtney starts telling me how I don't have to be so snobby, and then I say that she's snobbier, and then she decides to choke me!"

Mom gives me a look.

"Ok Courtney, your turn." mom says

"Ali thinks that she can control my life and be the boss of me all the time-and she does control my life, even in the smallest situations. She shows off all the time how she's so much better than me at everything, and I'm sick of it!"

Mom replies: "Ok, Alison, you can start being nicer to your sister,"

"Mom she tried to kill me!"

"Wait Alison let me finish! as for you Courtney, next time you can talk to me or dad if you have a problem with Ali, but as for now, your grounded for the entire week. And Ali, your grounded for the weekend."

"But mom! I have a sleepover with Ashley and Emma planned for this weekend!" Ali whines

"Well, you'll just have to cancel."

We both roll our eyes and storm to our rooms. But then I hear a knock on my door.

"Yes?" I say

"Your not getting away with this that easily!" Ugh, it's Alison.

I open my door and give her a nice hard shove, and she falls down on the floor.

"Ow!" she cries.

"Ow!" I imitate.

Then I see mom caught the whole thing.

"Courtney, come with me. Now." mom says.
She picks up the phone and dials a number.

"Hello?" she says into the speaker. "Radley?"
