Chapter 7
Courtney's POV
I was slow dancing with Duncan in the middle of the gym. I was blushing wildly but with all the makeup that I put on earlier you would never notice that my cheeks were a violent shade of red. I looked up at Duncan to see if he was happy to be dancing with me. Just plain old Courtney. Not Anna, but Courtney. I wasn't prepared to see him again when I came here.
Duncan was clearly blushing as well.
"I wish I could stay here," I said out loud. Even though I meant for it to just be a thought.
"So do I princess,"
"But I leave in a little bit,"
"I know princess,"
"So then what happens?"
"What do you mean?"
"What happens to us?"
"I didn't know there was an us,"
"I think there clearly is," I said channeling my inner Anna flirtation side.
"Well in that case I better take you out on a date then,"
I stopped dancing when he said that. This was what I had been waiting for, forever. Here was the moment I dreamed about. Duncan was asking me on a date.
"Sure,"
~Later That Night~
My mom walks into my room and sits on my bed like she did earlier.
"Hey sweetheart," she says.
"Hi mom," I said frustrated.
"Why so confused?"
"I am confused. It's about Duncan,"
"Your father and I expected this would happen,"
"What?"
"That you would fall in love with Duncan again if we brought you here,"
"I can't fall in love with him. Anna can't leave. She is still famous and everyone wants to see Anna. I have got to remember Anna,"
"Darling you are Anna. And Anna is wherever you are and she is whoever you make her. This whole Anna thing can keep going and you can leave Duncan here and never look back or you can say goodbye and move home to live out the rest of your teen years as a normal teenager. But you should do whatever you think is right,"
She got up and left. All I could think about for the rest of the night was that I didn't want to leave Duncan or Anna. I was confused.
