It Was Better Left Unspoken

PART 4

I ran all over the place, found a phonebook.

I opened it up, flipping through the pages like crazy. I really hope that she hasn't changed her name…

Courtney Phillips

6 people with the same name… Well, it's better than I thought.

I ran all over to the addresses the phonebook showed. First one was an old lady, I think I might have scared her since she called the cops on me…

The second address was to some teenager in her freshman year. She thought I was her long lost boyfriend… I would have laughed if I wasn't in such a serious situation.

The third address was a 32 year old lady with 2 children. Hmm… a bit closer, but not much.

The fourth address was… COURTNEY?!

"Princess?" I ask, the girl was sleepy. I don't blame her, it was 1 in the morning. I didn't expect her to open the door.

"Wha-?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. She opened her eyes slightly. "Great… I opened a door to a criminal…"

"Close, Princess." I told her, grabbing her by the waist.

"D-Duncan?" she asked, her tone now worried.

"The one and only." I told her.

She stumbled back, the last thing I expected. "I told you not to find me…" She whispered.

"I couldn't not look for you." I told her, taking a step closer to her. "You are my life."

She cried, sobbing. She took another step back.

"Please… I love you. I always have… I'm sorry I didn't show it. I should have." I whispered.

"I-I love you too… but I'm not going to go back to face what I once had." She told me between sobs.

"I won't ever do that again. It was a HUGE mistake…" I told her.

"You'd think that now. But when I ask why you were out so late, you'd just scream at me." She sobbed.

"No! No I won't! I-I was… drunk. I-I didn't mean to!" I told her.

"Drunk? Do you… weren't… cheating on me?" She asked, her sobs slowly becoming more silent.

"What?! NO! Courtney, you're my soul mate. You. So why would I need someone else?" I tell her, taking a step towards her again.

"Promise?" She asked.

"Promise." I repeat.

"Hmm… I still don't know." She said. I stepped closer again, and wrapped my arms around her.

I missed her hair, her smell, her warm touch… I sighed. "Please…" I whisper again.

She looks up at me… uncertain.

I lean down and kiss her. "I will love you always. FOREVER. Not even death will stop me. Please… I can't live without you." I whisper into her ear.

"Me too. Forever." She whispers.
