"VAL!"
"AHH!"
Courtney lunged herself down the steps and nearly knocked her friend over by a fierce hug, Sam's laughter filled the air and Courtney knocked her over also in a bear hug. All three of them were laughing and Courtney looked up to see John and Jet shaking their heads at how silly the whole affair was.
The three of them finally got up, Val started, "why didn't you call us?"
"And run off-"
"Is your dad on crack?"
"JOHN!?"
"What? It doesn't hurt to ask questions."
John shook his head and kissed his girlfriends cheek, she sighed, "you don't ask that."
"Ok mom." He said in a tone that made her slap him with her purse, Courtney rolled her eyes, "stop fighting."
"Aw she knows she loves me." John placed an arm around her waist, she blushed.
"Just come up to my room, ill explain."
--
"But…WHAT THE HELL!?"
"Is your mom crazy?"
"Is your DAD crazy?"
"Told you he was on crack-"
"JOHN!"
"Just saying-"
"But your not transferring right?"
"Oh she better not be."
Courtney stood up from her bed, "IM not, I'm staying at out school.
"…But your parents are divorcing?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you upset?"
"Ha. No."
"Seriously?"
"I'm glad this is happening."
"Let's change the subject momentarily. What if we can't bail out Duncan?" John looked at every one in the room.
Sam was the first to speak, "then we wait 6 months."
"I'm not waiting 6 months for him." Courtney said coldly, every one was silent.
"Why?" Jets voice finally popped up. She growled, "he did this to himself."
John laughed a little and stood behind Courtney, "but you love the little monstrosity anyway." He mouthed, pinching her cheek, saying in a babyish tone. She pushed him, "shut up."
"Well you do."
"It will be a lot easier in school now with out his nonsense."
Jet looked at Courtney for a moment, "I think your upset about this."
"I'm not."
"So," Sam stopped the awkward silence, "if we can't bail him out we just go on with out lives, we don't visit him or anything?"
"Yeah."
"Courtney…you're stupid!"
"Val you're a British nutcase."
--
Fights broke out between the two girls, which involved John pulling Val off of Courtney and Sam dumping ice all over every one, she said it "cooled them down." And that involved John nearly killing Sam.
Jet finally cleared his throat; "this isn't getting us anywhere."
Courtney was pulling on Vals hair and Val was hitting her with a book, they both stopped and nodded, but glared.
"Guys, lets just wait a few days until your mom says if we can get bail, ok?" John said, grabbing Vals hand to help her up.
"Okay."
"Oh crap Sam we need to go, movie starts in 30 minutes." Jet grabbed her arm and led her out; Courtney exchanged looks with the other two, "huh?"
John sighed, "they're going on a date."
"You sound not happy about it…?"
He smirked and reached into his bag, pulling out bags of balloons.
"Are you kidding? IM psyched! Best water balloon fight ever!"
Val giggled and grabbed her bag, Courtney looked at them in shock.
"But it's a public theater! Your going to throw water balloons IN A PUBLIC THETER!?"
John and Val looked at each other, "yeah basically."
"That's…"
"Oh Courtney relax, they would only kick us out, we better get going John, see yeah tomorrow?"
"Aha yeah, see yeah."
They walked out of the house and Courtney shut the door sighing, "some things never change."

Courtney sat in the kitchen table eating a piece of toast thinking things over.
Moms going through alot, Val and John seem to love each ther, Jet and Sam are…Jet and Sam…Suddenly her mom walked into the room, placing down at least 40 papers onto the table.
"Divorce papers?"
"Bail."
"Oh cool, do we need to fill them out?"
"I filled tem out while you were up stairs and went down to the court house, I'm sorry sweetie, but bail wont work, he's gone to jail to many times."
Tears filled in Courtney's eyes and nodded, running up to her room before her mom could say anything else.
--
She picked up the roses, one totally dead, the other still had full color, and threw them out the window.
"Have fun with six months in hell you jerk."
