Only His Princess Chapter 14
Duncan's POV
"Dude, chill out. Stop watching her every move." Trent said laughing from beside me.
"It'd be a lot easier if she stopped moving so much." I answered laughing right along with them.
"Well, I for one want to know what happened. First off you told me you were leaving for California and never coming back. And now you're at our Total Drama Island reunion, with Courtney, none the less?" DJ asked from beside me while drinking some punch, and watching Lashawna walk across the room.
I rolled my eyes both at DJ's bluntness at the question, and his obviously infatuation with Lashawna, before answering, "Alright, well, I'd been in constant communication with Geoff," then looking over at Geoff I decided to rephrase myself, as he and Bridgette were practically one person, "Or at least, as constant as you can get Geoff by himself."
"Most of the time we just talked about how sunny everything was, and how court was everyday, you know Geoff, always the worrier," I rolled my eyes at this point, "But anyways, one day I decided to know how my princess was, and well, once I found out how horrible she was doing, I had to come home." I finished the explanation while looking at Courtney once again; I don't think I'll ever get sick of her face.
"I don't but it one bit." Harold said coming into our conversation from no where.
"Excuse me, nerd?" I asked, ready to pummel his face in; he had no idea the kind of crap I'd been through the past few months. All because some girl in California, where I'd never even been, decided to say I raped her. Stupid hooker.
"I know for a fact you only came back because court was let out, because of insufficient evidence." He answered smirking at me, "You don't give a shit about Courtney. Never have, never will."
I clenched my fists until they turned white; I was trying so hard not to punch this stupid red-headed geek in the face, "How do you know that? And if you ever say that I don't care about Courtney again, I'll show your face how much I care." I replied in my most lethal voice.
"Because, I hired that girl." He smirked, then his eyes widened as he realized what he'd said.
"You what? Why?" I asked, trying to still control myself; however I was noticing that my body was shaking from keeping the anger in.
"For the same reason every guy in here would want to get you away from Courtney. She's hot, and I wanted to bang her." He smirked again, his cool face coming over him once again.
I raised my fist just then, however, Courtney was beside me in two seconds. She grabbed the bulk of my forearm and looked me in the eyes. Just like that I melted into a gooey piece of chocolate.
"He's not worth any of our time okay?" She asked, coaxing me to put my arm down, and then grabbing my fingers to separate them.
She gripped my fingers tightly, still trying to get me to calm down as my body was still shaking. She continued to look me in the eyes, until finally I was calmed. However, it seemed she wasn't. She turned around to face Harold. Then she ripped her fingers from mine, and placed her hands on her hips.
"And as for you, you perverted freak of a geek! I hate you, and more than that, at the time you got Duncan sent away, YOU WERE WITH LASHAWNA! She's one of the few people I actually liked on this island. And last, if you ever, and I swear ever talk to Duncan again, I have enough money to hire someone to kill you, got it?" She asked, sarcastically before then turning to me, giving me a glare, which meant we'd be talking about this whole 'court' thing later, and then walked back over to Lashawna and Gwen who gave her high fives.
Harold stood before us for a few more moments before heading back over to Sadie, who promptly slapped him and said something else along the lines of 'pig' before walking over to the other girls and getting a round of high fives herself. Harold slumped his shoulders, and then walked over to where Justin and Heather were seated, as none of us were allowed to leave.
I talked with the guys for another half an hour or so before I finally caught Courtney's eye and with one glance knew that she wanted to talk to me. So I excused myself from the guys, and then walked over to her, my head hanging with disgrace.
"Look, I know I should have told you when I got back, but it's been like nonstop drama since we've been together." I said as soon as I reached her.
"I know, and that's why am going to say what I'm about to say." She took a deep breath before continuing and the look on her face said that she didn't really want to do this, but she felt obligated to.
"Courtney, I love you, you know that right?" I thought I knew what she was going to do, and there was no way I was letting her slip through my fingers again.
"I know, and I love you too. Please remember that, okay? But I need a break from all this drama, I can't handle it. Jason, car crashes, Milli, kidnapping, my father being abusive, having to break into my house, living at Geoff's, it's all too much. We've been back together what, two days? And my whole life has been turned upside down in that short period of time." She let a few tears slip out at some of the memories she was thinking of.
"Courtney, no, I promise it'll all calm down!" I exclaimed.
"Duncan, this last event with Harold, and learning that you went back to court, that you could've gone to jail again! It's too much, you didn't even tell me!" She was crying harder now, her perfect tan and freckled face streaked with tears and her eyes filled with despair.
"Courtney, I'll tell you everything, I promise. You wanna know my social security number? Go ahead, ask, I'll tell you. I trust you more than I trust myself! But Court, the only reason I didn't tell you about that was because I didn't want to hurt you! I'd already put you through so much! How could I do something more to you? That's like abuse!" I answered, beginning to cry myself.
"I'm sorry Duncan. I'll be by the house later to get my stuff. But then I'm going to go to Lashawna's to stay and go to college and to get over you and this whole crappy thing." She answered before turning to walk over to Lashawna.
"I'll follow you anywhere, haven't you learned that by now?" I screamed over to her.
She turned back to face me, shaking her head, "And haven't you learned anything yet? I'm not strong enough for this, I'm sick of everything going wrong. And that's how life with you is always going to be."
"But, I love you." I said, my face being contorted with confusion and disbelief, I couldn't believe she was actually going to do this.
"Love's just not enough anymore." She answered, before reaching Lashawna, and hugging the girl.
Lashawna looked pitifully at me, before turning to go out the door, Courtney right beside her. At the door, Courtney turned and looked back at me, before sighing at walking into the midday sunlight.
What if that's the last time I ever see her?
Oh, it won't.
