Courtney: My brother's best friend #1 - Complete

79

Simone

I sat on the sofa with my arms crossed. I'm so angry and annoyed right now. Mom has grounded me when none of this bullcrap was my fault, it was Ace's for allowing his friends to stay over for New Years celebrations. What the hell was he thinking? Mom was pissed and bit did she let everyone know. She threw amAce's new found friends out and sent them packing before she laid into Ace with how reckless he had been. According to mom those misfits were only supposed to stay until one am on new year's day after they had celebrated the New Year and then they were supposed to go home, but no.

They had all crashed in our lounge and wherever the hell they could get and to top it off they'd spiked the non alcoholic punch to say mom was disappointed as an understatement.

I can't believe he allowed his friends to do that. And I can't believe the nerve of that mouse guy, or whatever the hell his name was. Everyone could see he was flirting with Courtney though he would never have admitted it if neither Isaac or Tucker weren't going to put a fist in that jerks face I would be happy to.

I'm not sure what punishment my friends have gotten but I can guarantee that it won't be good. Courtney and Tucker's dad had a murderous glair upon his facelid rather face the devil right now than Mr. Mendez.

Ace

I'm so stupid I should've known mom would hit the goddamn roof I hadn't exactly told her that my friends were stating until the eve of new year. I knew if I told her she would've never allowed them to stay and I was right. I got the: I'm disappointed in you, lecture again. No surprise. But she shouldn't have grounded Simone; this was all my doing, not hers. She had no idea I'd invited them until they showed up after the door ruffling her hair, pissing her off for calling her a kid.

She didn't have any idea they'd spiked the punch, well neither did I until they were all slurring their words and couldn't walk in a straight line. Mom took an instant dislike to my friends and told me they were a bad influence and bad news. I couldn't help but agree that they were indeed a bad influence on me, the s**t we all got into at uni. But for being bad news I didn't think so they may be reckless at times and do things without thinking about the consequences. They weren't bad guys. But one thing was bothering me.

Mouse.

He never done things in halves.

He was the quietest of the group hence the name mouse. He hardly went up to girls and spoke tk them unless he was shitfaced and he certainly wasn't that when he had approached Courtney.

He had more confidence like he had grown a pair of balls. We slm know he was flirting with her but she just let it go over her head. Isaacs and Tucker on the other hand were not so pleased about him talking and flirting with her. He tried to deny he was but we all could see through that facade luckily for him he would never see Courtney ever again unless it was a celebration he was going to medical school. Looking at him you wouldn't think he was the type but he was a brainy s**t.

Ashton

Ugh. I still have a headache from hell After our olds had given us what for and grounded my ass for being cocky like per. Lawrence had copped it in the neck. Mom knew his friends were staying over New Years Eve. What they didn't know was they were joining us at Ace's and they were going to meet the guts he had met at uni.

They all seemed cool, but the one they named mouse; he seemed a little creepy and it was like he was trying to gain Courtneys attention which was kinda sickening concerning he was almost ten years older than her.

Tucker and Isaacs were giving him the daggers all day and "I dare you to touch one hair on her just one." Look.

I found it amusing that the guy had no morals to flirt with a fourteen year old kid when there were plenty of chicks out there his own age.

After mom and dad had finished scolding us we went upstairs and Lawrence asked me if I wanted to have a few games of GTO. Who was I to refuse?

We had a few games and he brought out the beers telling me tk keep myself to myself as I was still underage and I nodded.

God, how much had I had to drink? There were two paracetamol and a glass of water on the bedside drawers. 'Thank god. Thank you so much bro. I owe you.' I thought as I grabbed the paracetamol, swallowing them before I took the glass off the chest of drawers, gulping it down through placing it on the chest of drawers. I lay back down wondering where Lawrence was. Maybe he'd got up, he was always up early going off to god knows where even now he's done with uni he's still up with the birds. It smiled, it was his to have him home. We'd talked and face time regularly, but it wasn't the same as seeing him face to face. I slowly closed my eyes.

I needed to get rid of this raging headache. I knew I had a hangover I had a few years back. But the parents had been more cautious with us around alcohol until now. I bet they were all wishing that they hadn't let their guard down with us this year.
