Chapter 9 Amnesia

Chapter 9

"Courtney, I'm not driving you to the airport." Lia replied with a sigh.

"Well why not?" I snap.

"Because your crazy. I'm on my way to the o2l house, wait there."

"Fine." I said as I rolled my eyes. I didn't have to be micromanaged.

Lia got to the house 5 minutes later.

"Get in loser." She said as she pulled into the driveway.

Her attempt to make me laugh sadly failed. Mean Girls references can only do so much.

I slid into the car and pulled the door closed behind me. We rode in silence until Lia stopped in the Starbucks parking lot.

"So what's wrong?" She said after she texted Jc to let him know where we where.

"Connor's leaving O2L." I said as a tear streamed down my cheek.

"Oh, Courtney..." Lia started rubbing circles on my back.

Sitting in her car I then realized that all these people mean a lot more to me than I could have ever imagined. I've only really known Lia for a day and she's comforting me like we're sisters. I'm also miserable because a boy who I've only seen on computer screens who I just met in person just admitted he had depression and I couldn't do anything about it. He's one of my 6 idols and I couldn't help him the way he did me.

"Why does he have to leave." I turned to face Lia.

"Oh Courtney, he's not really leaving. He'll always be there."

"Lia, we both know that's not true. He's looking for apartments and I know for a fact he won't hang out with the guys as much as he promised."

She went silent.

"Dom Kian and Jc are looking for apartments together, but you already knew that." I said angrily.

Lia stayed silent.

I scanned her face looking for a sign of emotion but there was nothing.

A few minutes passed before I finally heard her voice.

"Connor is doing this for him," she said slowly, "and this shouldn't be a bad thing."

I nodded. "I'm sorry for getting angry, you shouldn't have had to hear that."

"It's fine, you're upset, I get it." Lia replied with a faint smile, "Now let's get Starbucks and how about we have a girl'a day this week?"

"I'd really like that," I replied happily.

Sam's POV

"Leave me alone!"

It's currently 8:03 and Courtney's lying on the couch.

"Come on Court I wanna do something!"

"Sam I can't! I have to check out that cross country program tomorrow!"

"That's tomorrow and this is tonight!"

"Connor's gonna pick me up from Trevor's at 7:30."

Courtney came back to the house about an hour after she ran out, and when she got back she fixed things with Connor. They hugged it out and all that jazz. "Whatever, fine be that way." I said while turning my back to her.

"Oh come on you can't be mad at me, I'm even wearing your merch." She said with a smile.

She was wearing my Pottorff shirt and a pair of shorts. We just got back from the beach and now everyone's doing their own thing.

"Very true." I winked. I couldn't ever be mad at her actually. She's my best friend besides the guys. Man am I gonna miss her when she leaves.

"Can we at least go to the movies or something? That doesn't require too much moving," I said hopefully.

"Ugh fine, let me get dressed a but nicer though," she replied while getting up.

I sat on the couch and waited for her. Thirty minutes later I yelled up to her.

"Holy crap Courtney we are going to the movies not to prom what is taking so long?"

"Coming!" She sounded rushed.

She came down the stairs and I quickly lost words. Wow. She looked great. Her hair was down straight with a SnapBack. She was wearing a tiny bit of makeup. She's wearing a 'hipsta please' sweatshirt like mine and some black leggings.

"Hello? Earth to Sam?" Courtney waved her hand in my face.

"What? Oh. Sorry. Let's go." grabbed my keys and we headed out.
