I've fallen, Losing who I am, no scratch that, was.

I had changed, all for the people I loved in life. Duncan, my boyfriend. When we had first met In high school I despised the arrogant bastard. He was too full of himself; and always trying to get under my skin. Which led to me and him bickering for the freshman year and ending up becoming an "item".

Gwen who had been one of my closest friend, though not my best for she always had this eye around Duncan. So at times I did not trust her at all. We had became friends In Junior year; she was the new goth girl and I was the annoying CIT. We had fun making fun of each other and other people. We always shared everything...

I had told Duncan I would be staying late tonight for work. I was a 21 year old though a top lawyer. Forcing Duncan to choose a choice of life like mine, he has became one of the people at the office that had scheduled appointments for lawyers and answered phones. No one was complaining.

I had gotten off of work early, Since my case was fairly easy. My person was found Innocent, so I was able to go home to my warm bed for some rest.

Pulling into the drive way It was 12 at night. I had told Duncan I would be home maybe around 3 A.M. So I was confused. Why were the lights on? I had the strangest feeling In my gut.

Walking quietly I had parked the car and tip toed into the house. The cushions on the couch were all over the floor. Becoming even more confused I had heard sounds. "Thump Thump".

Now my eyes were opened wide with nervousness, I went to the closet grabbed an umbrella and frantically but silently half ran up the steps. The bedroom door was open and I was just praying that Duncan wasn't being murdered or something.

Walking I went and peered into the bedroom. The umbrella fell from my grasp and fell with a loud bang onto the wood floor.

There In my bed, was Duncan. Obviously. Though what had me even more shocked was the girl above him, half dress, his arms around her waist, and the interlock of their lips. Though they had parted hearing the loud object and had became surprised by seeing me there.

Gwen had jumped off of Duncan finding her shirt, while he continued to lay there putting his arms under his head for support. With that sickening smirk on his face.

"Courtney I-I'm sorry! I swear, I just-," Gwen was blabbering to my while I had cut her off not in the mood for her.

"Gwen shut the hell up." I said trying not to show my rage that wanted to bust through me. Turning to Duncan I looked into his eyes "Duncan, It's over. I hope you two enjoy your little... activity." I said looking back and forth between them.

Hearing my name being called, Duncan's head whipped to where I was. His eyes not as shocked but still showed complete surprise, as me being there.

"Courtney." He stated recognizing my form. His voice was note shaky like Gwen's though. Arrogant Bastard.

"I'm just going to get all my things packed and out of this place. After that you two can continue what you were doing." I said holding my voice strong, even though my insides were wanting to cry.

I walked over to the dresser, pulling out all my clothes and stuffing them Into bags I could find. Feeling the eyes burning into my back I turned around.

"Don't forget to use protection," I said harshly;venom dripping off my tongue. "Though I'm sure you guys have had many experiences, and should know to do so."

Finishing grabbing clothes form the drawers and closet, I had gotten anything else I would need, like toothbrush and any of items I would need for normal day experiences. I could buy anything else I would need.

Feeling disgusted I finished quickly, walking to the door walking out of the suffocating room. Though not before turning back around.

"Gwen, forget about trying to call me later tonight. I'll Ignore it. If you even continue to try after that, I'll change my number. Good-bye." I said looking into her eyes, then Into Duncan's as I said the good bye.

Remembering something I turned to look In Gwen's eyes with a sad face "I knew you always wanted what I had. We shared everything...," my face then turned from soft to hard. "Though this just makes you the biggest slut in America."

I slammed the door, not able to control the anger wanting to come become unleashed. Breathing in and out I walked to my car, and drove away. Not knowing where I would go... I had no family around...

Then the Idea came up. Bridgette! She was like my sister, She lived close by too. We talked practically everyday. Getting out my phone I dialed her number waiting after the 3 rings until a voice spoke up.

"Courtney?" Bridgette asked answering the call.

"Bridge!," I said "I need a favor, please. Can I stay over for awhile until I can find a place... Me and Duncan broke up... I'll tell you about It when I get there okay?" I asked trying to hurry up, knowing Bridgette would want answers Immediately.

"Yeah Court, it's no biggie. Courtney I know you and Duncan will end up getting together again. I mean you two practically scream in each other face and end up making out the next minute." She stated matter-of-factually.

"Bridgette, I don't think that will ever happen..., I gotta go I'm almost there, Bye." Hanging up the phone I took another deep breathe .

Bridgette didn't know how far she was wrong... Duncan and me would never be the same.

I could still see the Image of him and my so called "friend" together. In my own home, my own bed, my own... Duncan.

I was Independent though, Not weak. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing me in that kind of state. No.

So I made It clear In my head. Duncan might work in the sane building as me. Gwen might work at the coffee shop I visited everyday for my normal morning routine. It wouldn't stop me though.

Giggling at the thought, I would show them the real Courtney, that wasn't the bitch, uptight, workaholic, brat.

I would be... Me.

Feeling my phone vibrated I looked at the screen that showed a picture of Gwen and me laughing and her name underneath; she was nothing to me. So i had canceled the call and turned off the object in my hand.

The fun was only beginning. Let the games begin.
