His Girl

57 ~ In Esecuzione

Courtney's POV

I really didn't kill that guy. Please tell me I was just dreaming. I couldn't of killed him. I have killed someone! Oh my God! I've fucking killed someone! I pull the trigger of a gun! He's dead! There's no way he would survive!

But he deserved it.

No one deserves to die. He had a girlfriend. And that girlfriend is Spencer's cousin. Oh God I'm screwed. That means it was Roderigo's daughter. Oh man. Well this is just perfect. There probably going to lock me up somewhere and make my life a living hell. This is the best. This is the best part of my life. Oh Lord, I'm actually so screwed. What can I do?

I've got to get out of here. I've just got to run. I could change my name. I could go to the police. Yes, I'll go to the police and tell them who I am. They'll help me get back to Australia and I can really start a new life. I'll change my name and life will be somewhat normal. And that was my brilliant plan.

I slowly open my eyes and begin to sit up. I take in my surroundings and I'm still in Spencer's bedroom. I don't see anymore blood or a body in the ensuite. They must of moved him.

I slip off the bed and creep over to the door. How am I going to get out? The bedroom is on the ground floor. I could go out the window.

I carefully make my way to the window and successfully get out. Well that was easy. And I take off running. Running for freedom. Running from my life. Running from Spencer. Running from Spencer's family. Running from Roderigo. Running from Jye's dead body. Running from everything.

I've been running for ages. Please let me find a main road soon. Please, please, please.

And sure enough, I hear car engines. Thank you. Thank you so much.

I stagger out of the bushes and nearly trip over. Come on Courtney. You've come this far. Just go a little further. You can do this Courtney. But I didn't have to.

Suddenly I hear the squeal of brakes and a door opening.

"Mi scusi signora. Stai bene? Fare- Courtney! What the fuck are you doing here?" Great just the person I needed. (Translation: Excuse me miss. Are you alright? Do-)

"Courtney, Saladin and Uncle Roderigo will kill you if they find out you're missing."

I was too exhausted to run. But of course out of all the people in Italy, Alessandro would find me. What is he even doing out here? Why wouldn't he still be at the house?

"Courtney you've got to go back."

And I didn't move.

"I'll call Saladin to get you. He won't be very pleased."

And I still didn't move.

"I'll call Uncle Roderigo as well. I'll call them both now. And let me tell you this. Neither of them will be very happy.

And I moved. I moved faster then lightening. I immediately got to my feet and staggered towards his car.

Alessandro holds the passenger door open for me and I awkwardly get in. I lean my head against the door and tears trickle down my cheeks. I'm in so much shit. My life is an amazing shit hole.

Alessandro gets in the driver's seat and pulls back onto the main road. Twenty three seconds into the trip (yes I was counting) the questions came.

"Why did you run?"

"I was scared," I mumble.
