14-The Reaction

"Do you think they'll both break up?" Taylor whispered to the group.

"Court and Duncan have faced worse before." Leah replied. Most people nodded, everyone exchanged glances.

"Alan and Arianna on the other hand..." Phoebe looked away, getting up from her seat and stretching out her body.

It was getting late now. Everyone had been up and discussing the situation at hand for hours. It was time they all found something better to do than sit around and gossip about everyone else's failing love lives. Of course, that was never going to happen.

"Guys!" Bridgette snapped at them all. "No one is breaking up with anyone! Courtney was drunk and Alan didn't even kiss her." Bridgette liked to take control during Geoff's absences. She was his right hand lady, and she took her role quite responsibly in the 'pack'.

"But will Duncan and Arianna understand that?"

"Mommy, where's daddy?" Belle asked, climbing onto the sofa beside her mother.

Courtney wiped away a few tears, trying to stay strong for her daughter. It was getting harder and harder to do every day. Belle was growing up faster than anyone had expected, she was learning more and more, almost learning the truth along with that.

"I don't know, baby." Courtney replied, trying to fake a smile.

"Please don't cry, mommy." Belle whispered to her mother, getting up on her knees and wiping Courtney's eyes.

Belle was only young. She couldn't possibly have known exactly what was going on around her, but she still seemed to understand. She was quite mature for her age of about four and a half weeks.

"You know..." Courtney pulled Belle onto her lap, cuddling her close as she played with her hair. It was comforting for the two of them. "No matter what happens between me and daddy, we both still love you very much."

"Are you and daddy not going to be together anymore?" Belle asked. That was the way Courtney was making things sound, but no one could have been sure about anything that went on inside Duncan's mind anymore. It was too stressful.

"I hope not, baby girl. I hope not..." Courtney sighed, kissing Belle's head. She just wasn't sure herself anymore.

"Arianna, you have to believe me!" Alan cried.

Arianna shook her head violently, tears trickling down her cheeks. She had her back flat against the wall, her arms crossed over as if hugging herself. It was the only way she felt safety these days. Everything else just seemed to crash down and burn around her, leaving her with nothing but a mess to clean up.

"Arianna-"

"GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULD?" The blonde snapped. Her eyes were bright red and her words were sharp on her lips, as were her four vampire teeth.

"Because I love you." Alan replied.

Arianna closed her eyes. When she reopened them, they were blue again. More tears fell and Arianna was back to not knowing what to do.

"I thought you did..." She mumbled. "I really thought you did...But then you went and...You kissed her. You kissed Courtney."

"Arianna, she was drunk...She kissed me, I moved away from her. I was the one who said it was wrong!" Alan protested his side of the argument. "You have to believe me!" He was praying Arianna would forgive him for Courtney's mistake.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE!" The Queen screamed, throwing her arms in the air, and banging her head backwards against the wall. Her eyes were swirling around too fast in color. The blue and the red mixed together to form a dark shade of purple. An angry, yet sad color.

"Don't believe me then." Alan told Arianna. "But I know I'm telling the truth."

"Court-" But Duncan's words were cut off by Courtney. The brunette was in tears, scared to death that her fiancée, her one and only true love, was going to leave her for good this time.

"Duncan, please don't leave me. I was drunk. Alan is just a friend, I swear. This will never happen again. I promise this will never happen again. Just don't leave me. I don't want you to leave me. I am so sorry. It was a mistake. It will never happen again. Please, forgive me. I am so sorry. Don't leave me, please don't leave me. If you left, I wou-" Now it was Courtney's turn to get cut off, only this time it was by Duncan's lips.

"Swear to me, on Belle's life, that you were drunk and you will never, NEVER do anything like this again." Duncan's voice was stern, completely serious as he stared deeply into Courtney's glazed onyx orbs.

"I swear, on Belle's life, that I was drunk...And it will never, never ever, ever happen again."

Duncan pulled Courtney in for another kiss. Courtney wrapped her arms around his neck, just overjoyed that Duncan was going to give her another chance. She wouldn't know what to do without him.

"Good, because I could never live my life without my Princess by my side."
