âCourtney's P.O.Vâ
"No, Alex, stop!" I laugh wildly as I run away from him in our backyardâhe's currently chasing me with a huntsman in his hand. How he isn't scared of that thing or how it hasn't bit him yet, is beyond me.
"Oh come on, it just wants to be your friend!" He tells me and I dodge him as he catches up to me. I swerve to my right and switch directions, confusing him for a moment.
"Alex, that thing is terrifyingly huge!" I cry out desperately, but he continues to chase after me.
"Just like my di-"
"Gross!" I quickly cut him off and dash back inside the house, quickly spinning around and shutting the back door on him. I grin in success at him through the glass and he narrows his eyes at me. I stick my tongue out at him, and cringe as I see the spider squirming in his hand.
He taps on the door and I reach down to lock it. He gapes at my hand and I laugh, he probably thought it was already locked. I clap my hands like I'm removing dirt from my hands and he turns around, walking towards the dirt area.
I strain my neck to see him bend down, placing the spider back on the ground, where it belongs. I sigh in relief and I unlock the door, feeling safe without the spider.
He walks back towards the door and puts his hands up, showing defeat. I only wink at him and turn on my heel, walking towards the living room.
I laugh as he bangs on the door desperately and I lay down on the couch, turning on the tv and tuning into Teen Wolf. After a full episode, Alex's banging stops and I finally hear the door getting slid open. I then listen to him curse a bunch of profanities and I laugh silently to myself.
"Oh, you are so getting it. You better run, Courtney."
I quickly get up from the couch and I look back to see Alex completely drenched, entering the living room. I place a hand over my mouth and I can't help but let out a snort.
He narrows his eyes at me and I send him an innocent smile. No wonder it looked so dark out...oops. "Hey, in my defense I left the door unlocked. You were just too much of an idiot to try opening it instead of banging on it." I inform him and he sends me a glare.
He starts to run towards me and I let out a squeal of surprise before I run around the couch, laughing hysterically again as he chases after me. Not finding another escape route, I dash towards the kitchen and exit to the backyard again.
I gasp as the cold air mixed with drops of water instantly hits my bare legs and arms, and I freeze when I hear the click of the door shutting behind me. I ran straight into this one, didn't I?
I turn around and, as suspected, Alex is smiling smugly at me from behind the closed door. I quickly run back to the door and I glare at him through the glass.
"Open up, Alex!" I yell at him, but he only continues to smile smugly. "Alexander Mendoza, open this door this instant!"
He rolls his eyes at me and throws his hands up in mock defeat. "I'm so scared, mom."
I huff in response and stomp towards the door that leads to the front yard. I push it open and I watch Alex run towards the front door through the side window.
"Oh, you're so damn smart aren't you?" I mutter, my teeth chattering.
Hugging myself for warmth, I make my way towards the front door and narrow my eyes in a deathly glare directed at Alex, who is leaning against the doorframe.
"Wow, I've seen girls get wet because of me, but trust me when I tell you that it's never like this." He chuckles and I run towards him, throwing myself at him with a loud cry of victory escaping my lips.
He grunts in pain as he falls on his back and I straddle his waist as I look down at him, determination burning in my eyes. He gapes up at me in surprise, before his eyes trail down to our intimate position and his shocked expression morphs into a smirk.
"Ooh, I'm telling Julian that you're trying to seduce me." He taunts and I scoff at him, smacking my hand down to his face. He groans in pain and I smile in satisfaction, doing it again. "Alright, enough." He says, grabbing my wrist as I try to do it again.
I try to pull myself out of his grip but he only tightens his hold on me and he rolls us over, making me gasp as he is now on top of me.
"Have I ever told you how pretty you are?" He suddenly asks me and I instantly feel my cheeks turn crimson red.
"W-what?"
His face turns serious and I'm left awe-struck as he only stares into my eyes. "I've...I've likedâ" he doesn't get to finish his sentence as a voice interrupts him from above us.
"Courtney?"
I quickly push him off of me and he grunts as he falls beside me. I look up at the owner of the voice and I feel guilt seep into me as I see Julian looking down at me, disappointment evident in his eyes.
"Julian," I croak out, my throat dry and my chest tightening.
He shakes his head and looks away from me, letting out a sigh. "No need to explain, I actually came to talk to you." I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and he meets my gaze again, giving me a small smile. "Can we talk?"
I slowly nod my head at him and push myself off the ground, standing on my feet again. "What's the matter?" I ask him and he looks behind me.
I look back as well and see that he is looking at Alex, who got up after me. "I'm going to my room." Alex coughs awkwardly and we both dismiss him with a nod of our head.
I lock eyes with Julian, but he quickly turns away from me. "Julian, you're scaring me."
"Guess I just have to spill huh?" He laughs, but I can tell it isn't an amused one and I only nod my head at him as a response. "Iâ Courtney I don't think I love you that way..." He tells me and I take in a sharp breath. "I thought I did, I was positive but the last couple of days showed me otherwise..." He sighs and I feel tears brim my eyes.
"Is that why you've been avoiding me?" I ask him in a low voice and he nods his head, looking down at the ground in shame. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I didn't know how, Courtney." He tells me apologetically and I shake my head at him.
"You just ruined a perfect friendship, all because you were testing out if it was real?!" I ask him angrily and he winces, hunching his shoulders forward in shame. "Do you have any idea how selfish that is?!"
"Courtneyâ"
"No, Julian, fuck you! Get out!" I scream at him and he looks into my eyes again, watching a tear slide down my cheek. He goes to wipe it away but I slap his hand away. "Leave!" I yell at him. "Please..." I add in a whisper, letting out a broken sob. "Please leave."
He nods his head at me and turns around, stepping out into the cold air. "I love you, Courtney." He tells me carefully, and I push him out further, making him get under the rain.
"No you don't! You don't care about me! You don't give a shit, Julian!"
He lifts his head a little to look at me and he blinks repeatedly as the water hits his face. "I really do love you, Courtney, just not as a girlfriend."
"Fuck you!" I scream, slamming the door shut as he opens his mouth to talk again.
I push my back against it and I look up at the ceiling, trying to blink away the tears. Failing miserably, a tear trickles down my cheek and I just let them all fall freely.
I slide down the door and hold my legs close to my chest, burying my face in between my knees. I let out several sobs as I feel like my heart is slowly getting ripped out of my chest.
I'm such an idiot.
âAlexander's P.O.Vâ
I listen to her screaming at him from the stairs, getting the urge to run to her and comfort her. "Fuck you!" I hear her scream and I flinch as the sound of the door slamming shut ricochets around the house.
I slowly climb back down the stairs and I peek around the wall, instantly hating what I see. She's sliding down the door and I swallow hard as she sits down and hugs her legs.
She lets out a sob and I feel several emotions build up in me at once; sadness, anger, pain, and determination. I almost told her how I feel.
I shake my head to clear my thoughts and I knock out of it as I hear more of her heartbreaking sobs. Feeling determined, I start to walk towards her and I wince in pain as my shin rams into the coffee table. Startled, she lifts her head up to look at me and I furrow my eyebrows at her tear-stained face.
How does she still manage to look beautiful?
I shake my head again and I continue to approach her. "Leave me alone, please." Her small voice makes me frown and she makes an attempt to wipe her tears away, but it doesn't work. "I just want to be alone, please."
I ignore her request, and slide down to sit beside her. She turns her head to look at me and I offer her a small smile. "If you really want me to leave, tell me now. I'll leave." I tell her softly and she sniffles, taking a few seconds before she shakes her head.
She stays silent and I swallow the lump in my throat, looking away from her. I don't know how to handle moments like these.
"Alex?" She questions weakly and I turn my attention to her again.
"Yes?"
She leans forward towards me and my breath gets cut short when she kisses my cheek. She lingers there for a few more seconds and I close my eyes, feeling heat crawl up my neck. I hear her giggle softly and I open my eyes again.
"What?" I question and she laughs a little more, looking at my face.
"You're blushing." She finally tells me and I groan, cupping my face with my hands.
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
I turn to look at her again and she offers me a small smile, in which I return. I then shift my gaze from her eyes to her lips, and my smile widens when she does the same.
However, when I start to lean in, she gasps and quickly pulls her face away. "Sorry, I can't." She says and I watch her get up from her seat, running towards the stairs.
She rushes up the stairs and I leave my gaze locked where I last saw her, which was at the bottom of the stairs. I curse silently to myself and get up from my seat, dusting myself off and removing my shirt, hanging it up so it can dry.
I climb up the stairs and enter the bathroom, removing the rest of my clothes and entering the shower. I need to clear my thoughts.
I like Courtney Salazar, and I need to get over her.
