He burst into tears. She had never seen him cry before, and now he was
sobbing. "I love you so much. I'd
kill myself if we ever broke up. I'm so sorry." He said. How could she break up with him now? In a dazed
confusion she took his held his head to her chest to comfort him. She couldn't break up with a guy who just
said he'd kill himself if she did! He looked up and kissed her lips. She had never seen him in weakness
before. Honestly, she liked it. It was all she could not to slap him around and ask him how it feels. But she
didn't. She just held him close to her heart. "I've gotta go. Thank you so much for understanding Courtney.
You're and angel." He said. "Bye." She said. He was almost out he door when he turned around. "I really
couldn't handle losing you." He said leaving. She nodded and the minute he left, she burst into tears. Not
only had She lied to Jason, but she felt sympathy for the monster who beat her. Just then the back door
opened. It was her mom. "COURTNEY! Where have you been young lady!" she yelled when she was in
the room. "I've been with A.J." she lied. "No she hasn't" came Ric's voice. Great. He's here to. "Oh
really." Her mom said turning to face Ric. Courtney was behind her back, motioning for him to keep his
mouth shut. "Where was she then?" her mom asked. Courtney made a puppy-dog face and praying hands.
"I don't know I was just teasing." He said with a sly smile. "Oh. You were with A.J. all night?" her mom
said, turning around again. "NO, uh, he dropped me off at Tara's house last night. "Oh. Okay then. Next
time call though. Okay?" she said going to the kitchen. Ric got about an inch from her face. "You owe me
so big." He said, almost sounding dirty. "Fine, but would you stop being so weird!" she whispered after
stepping back. She closed her door and started to blare one of the CD's she had just bought, The Best of
Nirvana. She was listening to a slightly gushier one, until her mom stormed into the room. "TURN IT
OFF!" she screamed. She did and was confused by her anger. "Ma, what's wrong?" Courtney asked. "I just
called Tara's parents. They said that you were not there and that they haven't seen you in two weeks!" she
yelled. Courtney turned red not knowing what to do. "So tell me Courtney. Did you spend the night at
A.J.'s house?" she said. Courtney was mad. Why was her mom prying into her private life? "It's none of your
business!" she yelled right back. "I think it is!" Her mom yelled. "GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" she
screamed even louder. "You are grounded for three months! No phone, no television, no friends, no
boyfriends, and no computer." Her mom yelled walking out of the room. She tuned her stereo back on to
the loudest level, blaring "You know you're right" by Nirvana. She screamed with the lyrics. She was a
very angst filled teen. She listened to her music until she heard her mother getting ready for bed. She shut it
off and waited for her to go to bed. The moment she did, she picked up her phone and dialed Jason's
number.
Jason: Hello?
Courtney: Hey babe.
Jason: Courtney! Hi! I'm surprised you're up this late
Courtney: Is that a joke? I'm nocturnal! Anyway I've got some bad news.
Jason: what is it?
Courtney: I'm grounded for the next three months, so I'll have to call at weird hours, and sneak out my window.
Jason: Or you could obey your mom.
Courtney: No, then I couldn't see you or talk to you and I couldn't handle that.
Jason: why do you love me? You barely know me.
Courtney: I know you really well. I just haven't known you long.
Jason: true. I feel the same way.
Courtney: You wanna do something tomorrow?
Jason: Course I do!
Courtney: I know! Ok it'll be a surprise. I'll pick you up tomorrow at like 12:30 PM ok? Mom works til 10:00 PM tomorrow.
Jason: can't you just give me a hint?
Courtney: ok. Dress in something you don't mind to get dirty!
Jason: oooookaaaay. I'll be sure to do that.
Courtney: Well, I'd better go
Jason: ok. I love you.
Courtney: I love you too.
She hung up, guilt clenching her heart. Why didn't she say anything!?!
