Chapter 6- And to those who I loved
"To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead. ~Bertrand Russel
It was now the afternoon, it was still raining hard.
Italy was so beautiful. Especially in these woods Courtney thought.
Courtney POV
I could be here forever. Dinner was smelling nice already. Grandma Chabela was cooking her famous and delicious, chicken pot pies. Apparently this used to be my mom's favorite food. "Courtney dinner is ready" grandma called out. I put my phone to charge and I go downstairs. The fire pit is the only thing keeping us hot. Grandma served me a piece of her chicken pot pie." It is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted." I said happily
"Glad you like it because there is plenty more for yah " she said in an accent.
I am wanting to ask grandma about those cigarettes in my mom's room. Right now feels like a good time to do it.
"Grandma today I found cigarettes in mamas room." I said nervously at how she'd respond.
She looked like she was thinking but then looked at me in the eye and began to talk.
"You see, your mom was never the goody two shoes type like you. She was a rebel. She was a punk. She would smoke and get drunk and bring boys over the house without me knowing. Kind of reminds me of that Duncan boy, from TV. But she was more of a rebel than that. One day I caught her and she it didn't quite go well for me.

Grandma Chabela's POV
"Josephina what is this mess, it smells like weed and cigarettes" I said getting angrier each second.
"Deal with it mother you got to live life at its finest" Josephina said smirking.
"How dare you" I said while slapping her hard across the cheek. " You are a disgrace your father wouldn't approve of thi- " I was cut off by her slapping me harder.
"YOU BITCH " she said with venom. "You don't even let me live my life" " Deal with it mother this is who I am " she said while grabbing her keys and leaving the house.
I was stood there surprised. That the daughter I raised, just slapped me.
" Where are you going" I said worriedly.
"Away from you for now" she said rudely.
I felt my life end. I put my face in my hands and started crying. My own daughter slapping and calling me a bitch.
How could I let this happen it was like she was in charge of me now.
Flashback ends*
Courtney POV
"Until this day she still can't stand me. " grandma said sadly.
"I'm sorry grandma, but she has changed so much." I said calmly
"Yeah your father changed her a lot." She responded
2 hours later...
Courtney POV
It is now night time and Bridgette responded to my text. I texted her goodnight and to expect to be hearing the news at night. Probably during the Total Drama reunion. Of course I won't always be away from the world. I'll visit it in peace, but in a disguise. I walked downstairs, my grandma was watching Titanic. She told me it was her favorite movie. As I kissed her goodnight I went over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. The bathroom had a small toilet, a small mirror a white and clean sink. A bar of soap near that sink. There was a bathtub and a shower. As I began to brush my teeth I wondered what Duncan is up too...

Today was the day. I could finally see Courtney I was already nervous. I already had my best suit. As I brushed my teeth I stared at myself in the mirror. I had a lot more muscles, and a six pack as well. My hair was just black I had already grown out of my Mohawk. I went over to my golden retriever (Blazen's) cage. He was now one year old. I scratched behind his ears. Then I stood up and walked over to the couch. Celebrity Manhunt was on so I poured myself some Cheerios and watched. Just then my heart started racing. I saw Courtney on TV since like forever. Shit she was fine.
Courtney still had her hair up to her shoulders. But I think her butt grew. I smirked at that thought. No I am not a pervert. Apparently she was seen in Italy but she looked troubled, like a thought was going through her mind...
Just then Geoff called.
"Sup " I answered
" Bro dude, did you know Courtney is in Italy. "Geoff said almost yelling
Geoff was a loud dude

Italy
5:00 am
I woke up early in the morning to the sound of thunder. I got an old T-Shirt and cut it up and a jar of paint. Buddy is supposed to stop by and spread the jar of paint over the trees in the area where the plane is supposed to crash. The shirt is extra. I then heard a knock on the door. It was Buddy.
"Hi Court I just came here to say goodbye. I will do my best with this secret of yours." He said
" Thank you Buddy. Here's the jar of paint and the cut up T Shirt. We talked about this. Visit whenever you can please. Don't hesitate to call." I said then I hugged him. I am getting too emotional for this.
"Yes madam. I must get going. I will promise to take this secret to the grave". He said also getting emotional. As I waved goodbye I knew it was the right thing right? But something was telling me deep down it wasn't. I put on a black hoodie that said "Canada " in red bold letters and Aeropostale jeans. I put on light makeup and took a picture. I posted on all of my social media with the caption "adios". Almost instantly I already saw hate comments. But this will be one of the last times.

7:30 pm
I was already dressed in my best suit. Hair combed back. Also not to mention, cologne and deodorant. Hopefully it's enough to impress Courtney or at least for her to accept my apology. I'm acting very soft now but it isn't like anyone will notice. As I got out of my car a bunch of fans and paparazzi were around the entrance as I made my way I saw how fancy this reunion was. A chandler and candles. Wow I'm impressed.
30 minutes later
Everyone had now arrived except Courtney... I was starting to think she wasn't coming. In my table I sat across next to Geoff and Bridgette. And next to Tyler and Lindsey. As Chris was about to make a speech with Chef right beside him. An intern was running really fast towards Chris and Chef. Then Bridgette starts crying hysterically which causes a scene. I hope it wasn't about Courtney. I am worried now.
I then saw Chris and Chef's eyes widen. Everyone was staring at Bridgette who was now making a scene.
"C..C...Court...Courtney " was all she mumbled.
Everyone was now around her trying to get words out of her.
I am now worried I started sweating. Just then Chris said something that made my heart stop.
"I have an announcement, just a minute ago we found out C..Courtney was in her dad's private jet. It crashed. The pilot survived but unfortunately... Courtney has passed away..."
