Chapter 11:
Disclaimer: Nothing!
A/N: Yeah nothing here!
She felt used.
For once in her life she was the one that was getting hurt.
The game was being played on her and not the other way around.
It made her flash back to every boy she ever lead on or played a game with his heart.
And how bad they probably felt.
"Courtney?" Emily said into the phone.
"Sorry I have to go. Ethan is crying." Courtney said before hanging up the phone.
Sam just watched her walk away.
She knew by the phone call exactly who it was.
"Courtney?" Sam said following her out the room.
"Wait babe lets talk!" Sam said catching up to her.
"Im stupid!" Courtney said out loud.
"Tell me what happened." Sam said trying to calm her down.
"Its not important and I dont want to drag you into it!" Courtney exclaimed as she sat on the steps.
"Look either you tell me or I will find out!" Sam began pleading her case.
"Well its not like it's a big secret that something went on between me and Nikolas last night." Courtney said looking at the ground.
Just hearing her admit it was the only thing Sam needed to make her day.
"Okay?" Sam said looking at her.
"His trip wasnt for business it was for Emily." Courtney said looking at Sam who's mouth turned to an O shape.
"You really like my cousin huh?" Sam asked her.
"Sam!" Courtney shouted.
"I feel used and thats all you got to say?" Courtney said looking at her.
"Well I just wanted to make sure!" Sam finished.
"Im sorry! Its just that you are the only true friend I ever had and I dont know what to do! I need your advice." Courtney said looking at her.
"Honey I cant help you. You have to tell Nikolas how you feel and maybe he feels the same." Sam said looking at her as Courtney nodded her head in agreement.
"Hey!" Emily said as the door opened.
"Hey." Nikolas said looking at her.
"I called looking for you. Courtney said you just left not that long before I called." Emily said looking at him.
Only one thing ran through his mind.
How was she taking it!
"Really?" Nikolas said trying not to be that noticeable that he didn't really want to be there.
"Yup. She got really quite and I thought something was wrong but she said she heard Ethan so had to go." She said looking at him as he nodded.
"Yeah I need to call them and let them know I got here okay." Nikolas said looking at her before walking into the other room.
"Thats my cell phone." Courtney said recognizing the sound.
"I will get the phone stay right here!" Sam said getting up and walking back in the living room.
"Hello?" Sam said into the phone.
"Courtney its for you." Sam said passing the phone to the blonde.
"Who is it?" Courtney asked her as Sam shrugged her shoulders.
"Hello?" Courtney said as she couldn't believe who was on the other side of the phone.
"Did you call them yet?" Emily asked Nikolas as he walked back in the other room.
"No I will later. They are probably out doing something anyway." he said looking at Emily who just looked at him.
Courtney got up and walked away with her phone from Sam.
Sam just watched her.
Her face lit up like it was somebody she actually wanted to talk too but who was it?
Two hours past when Courtney came back down the steps with a huge smile on her face.
"Somebody we like I take it?" Sam asked Courtney.
"Um yeah!" Courtney answered back.
"Who was it?" Sam was a nosey little thing.
"You will see. They are coming tonight too see me!" She said as she walked past.
Sam was getting kinda scared.
Just a minute ago this girl was a wreck and now she was happy like nothing happened.
Courtney played with Ethan a little while longer and then started getting dressed up.
Sam could tell this night wasnt going to end well.
She wasnt exactly sure who called but the way this girl was getting dressed she knew it had to be a guy.
Later that night came way too quick!
"I'll be back!" Courtney said looking at Sam before she grabbed her coat and opened the door.
"Where you going?" Sam asked her.
"TO meet somebody. I will be right back promise!" Courtney said looking at her before walking out.
"Whats wrong?" Emily asked NIkolas as she sat across from him.
"I think I should go home. Ethan wasnt feeling good earlier and Im worried." He said looking at Emily.
"Okay well I will come with you then." Emily said looking at him.
"You dont have too." he replied.
"No I want too." she said following him as he couldn't find a way to protest it!
Ten minutes later and the door swung wide open.
Sam looked down at Ethan who looked up at her.
"Who's that?" Sam asked the baby as he laughed.
An instant later Courtney walked in and beside her was a guy who was 5'11 and had dark hair.
He wasnt bad looking that was for sure.
"Sam this is Patrick! Patrick this is my friend Sam and the cutest little boy ever Ethan!" She said introducing them.
"Hi." Sam said with a smile she had to fake.
"Nice to meet you." Patrick said looking at her.
"You too" Sam said back as she knew this wasnt good.
After small talk within the three for two hours Sam went and put Ethan to bed.
She came back and saw the two kissing.
It sadly made her want to puke which was weird because when she walked in on Nikolas kissing her it didn't and thats her family.
"Hey." Sam said walking back in the room.
"Hey. Did he go down for you okay?" Courtney asked her.
"Yup. No problem here." Sam spoke too soon before the front door opened.
"Who's that?" Courtney asked as Sam shrugged her shoulders.
A moment later Nikolas walked in with a brunette standing beside him.
Sam tried so hard not to laugh.
The tension that now filled this room was unbelievably strong!
"Who's this?" Emily asked looking at Patrick.
"This is Patrick." Courtney said introducing him.
"Your ex?" Nikolas asked her with a strange look.
Before she could answer he answered for her.
"Well we got back together. I didn't realize how much Courtney meant to me and how much I loved her until she was gone." Patrick said looking at Courtney.
"What a queer!" Sam said not meaning to say it out loud.
"What?" Courtney asked her.
"Want some beer?" Sam said covering up.
"No." Everybody quickly responded.
"Courtney I have something I need to tell you." Patrick said looking at her.
She just looked at him confused.
"I meant what I said. I felt lost and lonely without you and I never want to feel that way again. Will you marry me?" Patrick asked her as nobody could believe what was just being said!
A/N: Stopping there! We are near the end! Yay! Go me! Wrapping it all up before Thanksgiving break I hope! Anyway let me know if you likey!
