Chapter 7- Fallen Tears

"Crying does not show that you are weak, but it shows that you are strong " ~Unknown

"Courtney has passed away"

As Chris McLean said those words, Everybody gasped. Then Duncan ran out.

Duncan POV

As he said those words I felt hot tears forming. I couldn't take it much longer, I ran out. I didn't care, Courtney meant the world to me. What hurts the most was that, I never apologized to her about Gwen. I thought I loved Gwen and I didn't like Courtney anymore. That was a lie. I only liked Gwen but we were never meant to be. Now the love of my life is gone.

As Duncan kept on driving he drove past where they had there first date. It was an Italian restaurant. Duncan remembered all the dates they had in there. He remembered the time she spilled spaghetti sauce on him and he porpusedly dropped the pizza on her dress. Or the time they would cuddle just watching the stars. Even the time when they would go help out in the animal shelter. All the memories came flooding through. He eventually got out of the car. He had arrived at their place. It was a place with green grass and beautiful colored flowers. It had a crystal clear lake with fishes that could be seen. Nobody knew about this place except for them.

Duncan couldn't hold it in longer. He collapsed on his knees and let all the tears out. He yelled out her name. As if it'll bring her back, Duncan thought. He felt raindrops on his head, it had now started to rain. He looked up at the starry sky wondering if Courtney could see him. "I'm sorry please forgive me" he yelled out while crying. He started sobbing and crying more by each second.

He remembered everytime he would cry Courtney would console him and be there beside him. She would give him kisses until he'd be happy. She was perfect in every way. He thought he was stupid for letting her go that easily. Now he would never see her again.

He had been crying for an hour now. His dad always told Duncan that crying was for girls and you'd have to be very weak to cry. But not even crying expressed how heartbroken and sad he felt now. He still loved Courtney. But now it's too late...

Eventually Duncan cried himself to sleep...

Josephina's POV

(Courtney's mom)

I just came back from shopping. My freshly done manicure came out perfect, very perfect. I called my maids to help with the bags, when one of them worriedly turned on the TV in the living room. "Excuse me but I didn't give you permission to turn on the Television" I snapped. Seriously what is it with these people. I had to be careful not to ruin my pink two - piece skirt and top. As I grabbed a glass of wine I saw a terrifying image.

The headlines read "Reality show star, Courtney Navarro dead after Private jet crashes in Italy". I widened my eyes in horror and in shock I dropped my wine and screamed.

My baby couldn't be DEAD! She couldn't be!

"THIS IS A MISTAKE " I yelled and I started sobbing loudly.

Just then my Franco (Courtney's dad)came running as fast as he could. What's all of this about. Just then he looked at the Television and widened his eyes in horror.

"MI NIÑA" he yelled while collapsing on the floor with his palms on his face sobbing and crying.

Today I realized something. All those times I didn't spend time with my Courtney would come back to haunt me. Oh it's haunting me alright

Franco's POV

I heard Josephina crying maybe she ruined her bag. So I went to check out the fuss was about but when I checked the TV and saw mi niñas name next to the word death. I collapsed on the floor with my palms in my face sobbing and crying. I hugged Josephina because we just lost our only daughter. In fact we didn't really pay attention to her. We were too busy to realize that now it's too late. Today I learned that work isn't as important as your daughter.

I also lost two things today, my private jet and my only daughter. But I soon realized only one is replaceable and that's what hurts the most...

That we didn't see our daughters importance sooner...

Bridgette POV

When Chris announced her death I was still crying hysterically. Yes I know she's not actually dead, but it was still sad. I looked over and saw Duncan running towards the door with tears. Maybe he still likes Courtney after all.

Poor guy that must hit hard. It hits harder when you know this isn't real. Geoff started to console me and DJ because, DJ as well started crying. Mostly everyone in the room was gloomy. Even CHEF?! Who knew he had a heart after all! All except Chris, Heather and Eva they kept a straight face while looking down. Courtney thought nobody cared when everyone is sad! I'll probably call her to inform all of this. But man that probably really hit Duncan hard. Poor guy...

Courtney POV

Italy 8:00 am

I put on an oversized hoodie and short - shorts and my sneakers to check out the crash. . I also brought an umbrella since it was still raining. There were a lot of police at the scene, and from afar I saw Buddy in a blanket he seemed to have scratches but I have to say I'm impressed. He saw me then winked. I snickered. But the crash is near my grandma's house.

I started walking back to her house. As I opened the front door I got a blanket and layed down in the couch. The news were on and something caught my eye. There was a video of Duncan crying and running towards what seemed to be his car. Then there was footage of the rest of the cast looking gloomy. I immediately started getting tears... What have I done.

"Having regrets I see" grandma Chabela said

"You know Courtney you can't run away forever, your family and friends miss you, and your fans. Eventually you'll come out." She said sternly

" Plus it seems to me like that boy cared about you dearly and that he clearly still loved you" she smirked at Courtney.

"What do I do" I said worriedly

" Nothing it is already done, only time will tell" she said calmly.

I started worrying about this, what have I done. I started fidgeting with my necklace. It was the wooden skull Duncan carved. It was a symbol of our love. At first I found it creepy and wierd. But over time it meant more than anything. I love it with all my heart. Only time will tell right?
