Chapter 5 ~ A Pencil Sharpener

Shayne's POV

"The doors won't open. We're locked in." Courtney said, utter fear filling her eyes.

"Tommy is fucking dead meat!" I growled, jumping up and clenching my fists.

"What? What did Tommy do?" Courtney asked, concerned. She placed her hands on my fists as I cracked my knuckles, trying to calm me down.

"Do not tell me you don't think he's done this. I bet they're all in on this. I mean, you saw the way he looked at us when..." I choked," after the shoot."

"Oh. That's why the rest of the squad left early, and why whenever I saw Matt and Sarah, they started giggling! Oh they are IN FOR IT!" she yelled, turning on her heel. Then she stopped and I could hear her crying. What was I supposed to do? Hug her, or ask her if she's alright? Well, before I could decide what to say she ran away, a-fucking-gain. Why won't she talk to me? There's no way she loves me, she wouldn't keep running away if she did. Well, I've fucked up. She was my best friend. And now she's nothing. I decided to text Damien and ask if he knew about this.

TEXTING

Me : Hey bud, the doors to the office are locked and me and COURT are trapped in here. Did you know anything about this? Or who planned it?

Damien🥳 : I can't tell you. I swore an oath to my master.

Me : This isn't a time for fucking jokes, man. Courtney just ran away crying and I don't know where she went. We don't have keys to the door and I'm mad but I don't know who at.

Damien🥳 : I'm really sorry, Shayne. But I seriously can't tell you who did it or where the spare keys are. They did this for you two, for your own good. You two NEED to talk, before it's too late...

Me : Ok, I see where you and your weird cult are coming from. I'll try to find her. Thanks for...everything.

Damien🥳 : No problem buddy. It's what brothers are here for.

Me : Awww, see you later.

Damien🥳 : Bye!

I turned my phone off and slipped it into my pocket. I walked down the corridor and started to jog slightly. I couldn't find Courtney anywhere. I made my way back to the squad room. And she was sat in our beanbag. Weird. I didn't see her there before, so she must have snuck there whilst I was down at the Games side of things.

"Hey..."

Courtney's POV

"Hey..." Shayne said. I looked up and almost started crying.

"Everything's turned to shit!" I said, throwing my arms up in anger.

"Woah, hey. What do you mean?"

"Well, first of all we're locked in an office and our closest friends did it. Everything in my life right now is a reminder of how crappy I am and how crappy I'm making everybody else's lives!"

"What do you mean? Your sister just had Lily, that's great, and you were there with her. You're gonna be an amazing aunt!" he smiled. He had the cutest smile.

"Amazing aunt my ass. I'm never gonna be around. Lily is beautiful but she just reminds me that I'm never gonna have a perfect family and that no one is ever gonna love me."

"Don't lie to yourself. You are incredible. And perfect," he says, taking my hands.

"What about Wahlid, huh? I thought he was the one but look how that turned out!"
