I sit at the edge of the bed with my hands covering my face. One of close friends, Trent, saw me walking home in the rain, and helped me out by giving me a ride home. He didn't ask any questions, and I'm glad he didn't. Trent always knows what to say and he just gave me a hug and told me it'll all get better soon.

But I don't think it will.

When I walked through the door, Duncan wasn't home yet. I quickly run to the bathroom, and once I look in the reflection, I think I feel more depressed when I see my appearance.

My makeup is smeared under my eyes, and my bloodshot eyes just add to the horrific look. My shiny nose and red cheeks make me cringe and I swipe a makeup remover wipe under my eyes.

When I leave the bathroom, the front door flings open, and Duncan runs inside, and straight into the bedroom.

"Courtney?" His worried voice is echoed throughout the apartment. "Baby, are you in here?"

"Get out." I walk out of the hallway and stare into his icy blue eyes once he walks out of the bedroom.

"Oh my god Courtney, I was so worried about you! I was looking for you everywhere I–"

"Don't talk to me. You need to leave." I interrupt him and walk into the bedroom.

"Court, please don't do this." Duncan's voice cracks and he grabs my hand into his.

"Let go!" I yank my hand back and grab my framed picture of Duncan and I and it shatters once it comes into contact with my bureau.

"Holy shit," Duncan cringes and I can feel my tears crawling back up.

After screaming and yelling, my vase is broken, a glass cup, the picture frame, and Duncan's clothes are spread throughout the hallway.

"You've already done this and I can't believe you're being unfaithful again. I've never done this to you and you just–"

My voice is interrupted by the sound of hard knocking at the front door and my heart feels like it's going to explode.

"It's the cops, I know it, I know it." I hurry to the door and once it flings open, the last person I thought it would be is at the doorway.

"You hurt her again, didn't you?!" Trent's loud voice booms through the apartment and he walks past me and into the room.

His hands grab at Duncan's T shirt collar and he pushes him into the wall, making the wall shake.

"No!" I scream and cover my mouth with my hands as Trent glares at Duncan with dark eyes I didn't think existed within him.

"Get the fuck off of me!" Duncan yells and pushes Trent back.

"You're always hurting her! You don't deserve to be with her!"

I stand in between the boys, and hug Trent so he can step back from Duncan.

As much as I want to see him hurt, I can't let it happen.

"Trent please don't," I whisper and Duncan pushes the books from my desk onto the floor.

"What and you do?! You don't know anything you fucker! Just get the fuck out of our apartment." Duncan yells into Trent's face.

"Fine, I will. But only on Courtney's behalf."

My face freezes and I stare back and forth from the guitar player and the bad boy I have grown to love.
