Being Noticed

Surprise Number 6

AN: I always have loved song and still do! Hope you guys also do!💞

They all have stupid looks on their faces when I told them. Plus it's quite and it is not helping my anger on them at all. Jace finally breaks the silence and says in a calm voice.

"What do you mean that you don't have a home?"

I take a deep breath, looking at Andrew while sliding down to the floor.

"Remember how I told you my parents are in jail right?"

They all nod. I look at them curiously.

"Andrew told us what happened." Blake answers.

I look at Andrew with one of my most powerful glares and he falters back.

"Please continue Courtney." Jace says breaking the silence again.

I nod.

"Okay. Well since I don't have parents and that I'm 17, not legally an adult. I would have to be put in the foster system. I was. I was for about one month until no-one wanted me. They didn't want a girl that came home with cuts and bruises on her. So I kept jumping and jumping around until I had enough. The last foster home that I went to I ran away. At first I could hear their calls for me to come back, but I wouldn't go back.

"Then one night it stopped. I think they gave up on me or thought that I went somewhere or something. But the thing was I didn't, I was still in the neighborhood. The last foster home that I was at was near a lot of restaurants and hotels. So at night I would go through their garbage eating the leftovers. Then I would go to a cheap hotel and before anyone was at the front desk I would sneak out in the morning. Not paying for anything. That was how I lived."

The boys look at me deep into my background story. Then Andrew asks.

"Are you still doing this Court?"

I look away not able to tell them.

"Are you?" Blake's voice rises.

Not being able to say it I just nod. They all slide down to sit next to or around me. Then a second later I'm attacked into a hug by the "dream boys." Jace pulls away, sitting across from me and throws a bunch of questions at me.

"Where do you shower? Do you get new clothes? What happens if you are sick? Are you sick?"

Blake hits his arm.

"Dude stop throwing these questions at her."

"It's okay Blake. Well first off there were public colleges around the area so I would go into their showers then go to different colleges cause it's suspicious of a girl always coming into the showers but not going to school. I get new clothes by picking locks on the donation clothes bundles. And I am not sick, but if I am then I am."

I leave out the part of someone helping me out. Or more like a group helping me out.

"What?" Blake asks.

When I don't reply he asks again.

"How do you get better?"

It's so hard to come up with a lie right now, which is weird cause I've been lying to people my whole life.

"Ummm." I answer trying to kill time when I come up with a lie.

Andrew catches on.

"But Court your going to have to tell us the real reason. Not a lie. You promise?" He asks sticking out his pinkie.

Your caught. My brain says. Let's see how David reacts to this. Shut up brain.
"You have to promise to. All of you."
They nod and knowing that I'm caught I wrap my pinkie around his and even though any of us don't say it we know it's there. The words. You promise.

AN: Yes I know it's short but wanted to leave you guys on edge😂😂. Whale hope you vote and happy reading😙
