Happy Purging!
"Happy purging guys be safe!" Courtney's boss yelled out to them.
Courtney walked out the door and grabbed her keys out her purse and unlocked her car door. As she was unlocking her door She couldn't help but feel eyes on her. She looked behind her and didn't see anything.
"THE WORLD IS GOING TO END ITS GONNA KILL US ALL!" A frail old lady with a sign that said "Death is upon us" came running up to her.
Courtney whipped around at the sudden loud sound Infront of her and Courtney quickly got in her car to avoid talking to the crazy old lady and sped off the way home.
She always hated this holiday. People got killed, robbed, and Raped. They always got away with it cause of this dumb holiday.
As she drove she saw people putting blue flowers and flags out on their lawn.
Wasn't that lady in a wheelchair- you know what I'm even gonna finish that.
As was driving She saw someone on a lawn with a mask and red eyes on staring at her car as she drove by.
She instantly got the chills and parked at a random person's house until that person left.
She wasn't gonna lead them to where she lived. When she was sure the person was gone, she got up and left and headed straight home.
Courtney walked through her front door, making sure she locked then walked in the house immediately getting into her purge routine.
She got weapons in every room and hid them places unexpectedly. Where she would find them If she was to get slammed on the floor or something like that.
She only had one gun which was her favorite. A purple gun with her name on it. It was a present from one of her exes.
When she was done there were only 30minutes left till purging.
She double-checked to make sure her windows were locked and doors were closed.
All she had to do was turn on her new security system and she should be fine again.
She sat in front of the tv double-checking to make sure her iPhone 11 was charged and her spare burner phone was charged.
She went upstairs and changed out her work clothes.
She grabbed her clothes and took a quick shower and put on some clothes she could move around quickly in. Black Leggings, black tennis shoes, and a tight black half-shirt.
She walked to her kitchen and went straight to the security room. Punched the code in and walked in and activated her security system.
He heard the metal around her house close around her doors, one-sided plexiglass was placed over her windows.
She walked back to her living room and there were 23 seconds left of the purge count down.
She sighed bracing her self for the purge to start.
The sound of the alarm blared through the room.
Courtney got on her iPhone and texted Bridgette and Heather in the group chat.
GROUP CHAT
Courtney: Hey are you guys good?
Heather: ugh no I forgot the fucking red wine
Bridgette: what the hell you shouldn't drink on the purge anyways
Courtney: you both better have your security system on!
Courtney sat her phone down on the couch while her friends typed their reply and went to the fridge and grabbed a smoothie.
Courtney sat on the couch and drank it when she saw her phone flash in the corner of her eye.
She put down her smoothie and picked up her phone expecting to see replies from the group chat.
Instead a text from a random number
UNKNOWN NUMBER: see you tonight slut bag.
Courtney read the text and rolled her eyes. There were people that would do prank phone calls and text people to scare people.
She rolled her eyes and blocked the weird number and went on the group chat.
Bridgette: Duh I'm not ready to die tonight.
Heather: of course your not. you haven't fucked Geoff enough
Bridgette: I- shut up! Don't think I don't remember you and Alejandro sucking uvulas at Stacy's funeral
Heather: that was different! Duncan played a prank on us and put viagra in our glasses!
Courtney: WOW I get back to see you guys talking about fucking, uvulas, and viagra. You guys really need to get laid
Bridgette: I know right!
Courtney:...
Heather:...
Bridgette: shut up! It's not my fault he surprised me with a bondage set
Heather:...Anyways. Courtney hush you haven't got laid since Scott. When this purge shit is over we're totally going out. Girls night.
Bridgette: yeah we need to get in something besides your job
Courtney: I don't need a girl's night out to find someone. I'm perfectly fine on my own
Heather: oh please your vibrator isn't gonna satisfy you forever.
Courtney blushed at what heather said.
Courtney: UGH. Fine if you guys stop pestering me!
Heather: Deal as long as I can pick the outfit.
Bridgette: gotta go guys be safe Geoffs calling me
Courtney: Ew bridge...
Heather: well imma text you later make sure you check in okay?
Courtney: alright text you later.
Courtney put down her phone and stared at the tv.
The news was on and people were running around the empty streets. They showed this guy stabbing this guy repeatedly (even though he was dead). There were girls running around with knives and guns.
Courtney sighed and turned the tv off. She stood up and stretched when her phone flashed again.
Figuring Heather texted her or Bridgette, she picked up her phone to see another blocked number.
UNKNOWN NUMBER: your gonna pay for what you did to me bitch
Courtney sighed and blocked the number and went to the camera room. She walked into the small room and saw 25 screens of her house.
She looked carefully at the camera equipment and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a Starbucks coffee out the fridge.
I'm gonna need it if I'm gonna stay up all damn night
Courtney drank it then looked at her watch. It's only been an hour since the purge first started. 6 more hours to go.
Courtney sat on her couch putting her phone charging case on her phone. Her burner phone was in her bra. Only using it for emergencies.
Even though her phone was only on 83% she wanted to play it safe.
She sat there bored. She didn't wanna go to sleep. She didn't want to eat. Watch a movie. Nothing. She just wanted to be aware.
She looked at her purple gun with her name on it.
She picked it up and traced her name. A faint smile on her lips as she remembered how she got it.
*flashback 5 years ago*
Courtney walked blindfolded with her hands out so she wouldn't bump into anything.
"Ugh, can I take this off now." She said getting impatient. "Just show me what you got me!"
The hand leading her chuckled "no way babe. I want to see the surprise when you take the blindfold off your face."
She huffed and was lead to her room. She knew her house that well. Advice that was told by her Marine ex-boyfriend.
"Okay stop," he said. So she did as she was told.
"Okay, are you ready?" He said excitedly.
"Oh my gosh if you don't get this blindfold off me I will strangle you." She said.
He laughed at that and took off Courtney's blindfold.
Courtney blinked her eyes then looked on the bed to see a green and black box.
Courtney looked suspiciously at him "you sure it's not a jack in the box like last time." She said reaching on the bed and grabbing the box.
"Not this time babe just please open it you're killing me here!" He said exasperatedly.
She smiled while rolling her eyes and opened the box to see a beautiful gun with her name.
She gasped.
"Duncan you got me a gun! This must've cost a lot! When did you get this!"
Duncan just smiled. Not a smirk a genuine smile. "Well, I know how you said don't use the money you send on on stuff so I can buy actual better food." He chuckled
"Yeah?" She said
"Well, I spent it. And it cost like 50-." He stopped when he saw Courtney's disbelieving face.
"Okay fine it was like 1200." He said.
"Duncan you telling me you ate Masters Chefs slop for how long that's nearly 6 months !" She said a little frustrated.
"Princess I know but it was worth it I knew you'd love it and I got it custom made just for you. So now we both have guns babe." He said
Courtney sighed "I can't believe you ate that food for 6 months." She said smiling at him putting the gun in the box.
"I'd do anything for you, babe." He said pulling her close.
Courtney blushed.
"Soo do you like it?" He asked eyeing her face intently.
Courtney couldn't control her smile. "I love it ."
Duncan smirked "so does that mean I can get some tonight?"
"Duncan!" Courtney exclaimed.
Duncan our his hands up in surrender. "Kidding!" He said.
Courtney rolled her eyes trying to make her heartbeat regularly again.
"Now let's go to the shooting range." He said.
Before Courtney could react he swiftly threw Courtney over his shoulder and grabbed her gun.
"Duncan I can walk out me down!" she said laughing uncontrollably.
"No way Princess." He said running down the stairs on the way out the door. Courtney's laugh echoing through the house till they were no longer in the house.
*End of flashback*
Courtney felt her heart warm from the memory of Duncan. She didn't want to admit it but she missed him so much.
She shook herself out of her thoughts.
I don't need to think about him. He's living his stupid ass happy ever after with Gwen.
She went upstairs to her room and grabbed her chapstick. She put it on when she saw her phone flash.
She picked it up to see another unknown number
UNKNOWN NUMBER: someone's gonna die tonight babe.
Courtney felt dread and fear sweep across her body.
She quickly blocked the number and walked back downstairs.
Not even remembering that she left her gun on her bed.
A/N: let me know if you want me to continue this story. But yeah lots of mysterious mysteries.
