In the end

19

Courtney's POV:

I walked inside my house and grabbed my keys. I walked upstairs and threw my phone on the bed. I choked up my tears and ran down the stairs.

"Court what's going on?" Dad asks from the kitchen.

"Nothing." I state and stops infront of me.

"I want a valid reason before you leave this house." He states crossing his arms unamused.

"Really?" I ask and he nods.

"My best friend of 12 years just told me never to talk to him again and that he doesn't want to see me again over some fucking slut that cheated on him." I state and a tear rolls down my face.

"Aw boo." He states and engulfs me in a hug.

"Im not crying because I'm upset." I mumbled and he rubbed my back.

"I know, you're pissed off. It's alright." He states and holds me tightly.

"Hey.. how about we go to the batting cages or go see a movie or something, and while we're out we can key her car without her knowing." Dad suggests.

"Good idea." I sniffle and he laughs.

"Go get dressesd in something more comfortable, today is a you and me day." He smiles. I smile and run up the stairs. I changed into a pair of white denim shorts and a flowy t-shirt that had a peace sign on it. I fixed my makeup and brushed my hair out. I smiled and pulled on some other hightops. I skipped down the stairs and handed Jill my phone.

"Hey you..." I state and she looks up at me.

"You can still do that impersenation of me right?" I ask and she nods.

"What fluffing impersenation are you talking about?" She responds in my voice.

"Great." I smiled. I walked over to her and handed her my phone.

"If any of the boys call, or Leigh calls... Answer and say that I'm home and don't want to talk." I state and she nods.

"Ofcourse." She responds back. I kiss her cheek before running down the stairs. I snuck out behind dad and got in his car. I had my keys in my hand still and placed them in the center console. Dad pulled down the street and we headed for the movies.

**

We had an amazing day and the movie was great. Dad and I went to dinner and there was a knock on the door. I had told dad no on the keying her car thing, because I'm not going to stoop that low. I push off the couch and walk to the door. I check the peep hole and see it's Johnson.

"Hey, we have an odd question." He states biting his lip.

"Okay, what is it?" I asked and Leigh moved behind him.

"Did you key my fucking car?" She snaps towards me.

"No.... I've been home." I state and she looks at me with disbelief.

"You don't believe me?" I ask, I hated the look on her face. She has this look that people have when they expect something to be handed to them or when they think so highly of themselves and she thinks she's right.

"DAD!!" I yelled and he showed up behind me. He had on a t-shirt that he had been wearing all day and had a kitchen knife in his hand. He was sharpening it.

"Where have I been all day?" I ask and see Gilinsky in the back of the group of people.

"You've been at home, well after you came home from some asshole's house with his bitchy girlfriend. Why?" He asks and I stiffle a laugh. Gilinsky looks down at the ground hurt and Leigh seems embarrased.

"Sorry for that Mr. L." Nate and Sammy state.

"It's alright boys." He states and notices Leigh's body wedged in the door way, her foot on the mat.

"Sorry, can you take a step back? Trash isn't allowed in the house." Dad states and I smirk and everyone looks at him astonished. I see Jack start to walk away and Dad calls him back.

"Sorry for assuming." Leigh says under her breath.

"Well Assuming makes an ass out of you and me." I state and she glares at me. They all walk away and Jack walks up to the door gulping. He looked hurt. I turned away, I didn't want to see him. I walked back to the couch and scrolled through my phone.

Jack's POV:

"Listen here bud, I understand you really like this girl. But just remember who's been there for you through everything. After you think that over, then kick people out of your life." Courtney's dad states. I nod and feel a tear about to fall out of my eye.

"Yes sir." I respond and he smiles and closes the door.

"Babe what are you doing at that bitches house?" Leigh called loudly and Courtney's mom pulled up.

"Hey listen here. I don't know who the hell you are, but don't trash talk my daughter." She sasses and Leigh stiffens. I walk past her and head to my house. What the hell is going on?
