A Taste of Life
Courtney, the preppy lawyer that she was, missed Duncan. Yes, Duncan the delinquent, Duncan the thief, Duncan. That was all she could think about. She hated her parents for not letting her see him. So she ran away. She came back one year later with her life back. Now she lived on her own. Duncan was behind bars, and the rest of her friends from TDI, well, she had no idea what they were doing now. But that was life. And somehow, Courtney was okay with that. Every new day brings a new change, and Courtney wasn't bothered by that fact.
Courtney was driving back to her apartment after a long day's work when her phone rang to the tune of "Get Back", by Demi Lovato. She rolled her eyes and digged in her Coach handbag for her Motorola. She flipped open the phone. "Umm, Helloo?"
"Hi, Princess." She recognized that voice. "Duncan!" "Yup. Wa'sup with you?" "I'm a lawyer, Duncan. I'm always busy doing cases and signing paperwork. And you? In jail?" "I'm, uh,…Yeah…I got out." "You broke out of jail?! Duncan!" she scolded him. "No, Princess!" he laughed. "They let me out. I did my time." "That's awesome!"
Courtney was practically jumping up and down in her seat by now! This means I get to see him again! she thought, images of her and Duncan flowing through her head.
"Oh. My. GOD!!!" she screamed. Then Duncan heard a large crashing noise from the other end of the phone. Instantly he thought about Courtney. "Princess?! Courtney?! You okay?"
Courtney couldn't hear him. She was squished inside her little Honda between two semi trucks, blood streaming from her nose and mouth.
