It's been 10 frecking minutes and I think my ears have started to bleed. honestly I'm beginning to question if this ride home is really worth it-

"because the drugs never work , they're gonna give you a smirk cause they've got methods of keeping you clean''

calm down Courtney just hang in there, just 10 more minutes and you'll be far, far away from this ogre and his vile choice in music.

"Come on court" I could just about hear Duncan's voice over the roar of this awful song. "You aren't gonna sing along?"

I continued to stare out the window attempting to block out the sound of his voice. 9 minutes, just 9 more minutes

– "You know court"

its Courtney.

"Your being extremely disrespectful, ignoring such legendary music"

I rolled my eyes as I heard him chuckle.

Legendary? Yeah right. Just ignore him, there is no way I'm give him any satisfaction

"then again I totally understand if you can't sing, I mean its completely-"

snap.

"Excuse me! I was in the school's glee club! And what makes you think that I have any knowledge towards your appalling taste in dear I call 'music'!" I watched as his smirk grew.

"Wow, I'm so sorry princess, didn't realize you had a recording contract." His sentence completely drenched in sarcasm

. Breathe Courtney. In out. In out. Just 8 more minutes.

"Oh ha ha ha! Your so frecking hilarious you know that, and for the love of god my name is Courtney! C-O-U-R-T-N-E-Y!"

Just like that I stole the smirk straight from his face placing it firmly on mine my anger seemed to vanish. "I mean I knew you were stupid, but jeez Duncan"

I looked straight at him while he stared ahead his face showing absolutely no emotion, the dreadful music was stopped and it was just me, Duncan and 7 more minutes.

I carried on examining Duncan like a baby's first look in a mirror, I just sat there gazing, and confused as to why he seem so interesting right now,

then again I'm probably just bored.

I flinched breaking out my gaze as my phone began to vibrate feeling rather uncomfortable but I didn't care and because of the annoyingly stubborn person I am I just continued to stair in absolute hatred knowing exactly who it is calling.

"Aren't you gonna answer that?"

…

"No"

"why? Enjoying the vibration" I could feel his signature smirk radiating through the car. I refused to look at him my mood completely changed.

"Court, you ok?"

Silence.

He repeated to steal glances like he was determined to get a response, he took in a deep breathe parking the car just 5 minutes away from my house.

"Who was on the phone court?" I shifted in my seat facing the now rain covered window

"That bitch my dad calls his girlfriend." I spat the words out as if they were venom.

Duncan's face dropped too, he isn't a big fan of her either.

"She's probably only calling because she wants to show my father how 'motherly' she can be by showing how 'concerned' she is about my safety-"

scoff.

"as if she gives a shit about me!"

"Court maybe you should calm down-"

"No! why am I always the one that needs to calm down, I mean my mom only just passed a way a year ago and then my dad became completely convinced that he'd waited long enough, and now he's fucking around with some trailer trash that's almost half his age!"

I lifted my hand placing it gently on my cheek.

I'm crying.

I turned towards the driver's seat, Duncan was staring right at me

"And you know the most painful thing about it, it's like he's forgotten all about her."

After that whole 'blowing some steam' I did before, the rest of the car ride home had been, silently awkward, of course except from the pathetic sobs that excepted my mouth every 2 seconds.

On the bright side I got home in one piece.

But in a pleasant state?

..Not so much.

I lifted my head as the door began to open, my face dropped once again. I ignored her friendly gesture

"What are you doing here?"

as if my shitty day couldn't any worse.

I push passed her not being half as rude as I intended.

"Courtney" my father started at me firmly "That isn't a very polite way to greet-"

"why are all these boxes here?"

"well.." he's attention shifted to Stephanie then back to me "Stephanie, she err, she's-"

"don't tell me she's moving in" he just stood there head faced down.

Oh God no.

I whipped around facing Stephanie

"please don't tell me your moving in"

every word drenched in disgust. But she just look back at me with the biggest shit eating grin, plastered across her face. Once again my anger began to grow.

"Well just in case you haven't notice I am dating you father" she winked at me taking away all of my self control.

I turned back around to face my father.

He looked away.

And to be honest, I haven't felt more ashamed.

"Fine. Just make sure she sleeps outside" I turned right around staring Stephanie right in the eye.

"after all, we don't know where that tramps been."

her face dropped and my smirk grew wider.

Oh I went there.

I tried so desperately to hold back the tears laughing to myself as I ignored my father's yells. I ran to my room and slammed the door for good measures.
