Ace
I was so angry. I've never been so angry in my life, I arrived back from work after talking to Lawrence who seemed more pissed than i was when he told about Courtney being in hospital, why and the coma she had come out of.
Why the f**k was I just hearing about this seen as it was two weeks ago. Two f*****g weeks snc my sister hadn't said a f*****g dickybird. I slammed the door shut, angrily. Simond jumped off of her skin.
Good she knew I was mad no I was f*****g furious.hos dare she not tell me Courtney was in a f*****g coma.
She said they were handling that little prick Barraman looks like they had. Not! Note the sarcasm. I looked at her deathly. And diced straight in. "What the hell were you thinking Sim? I told you to watch how you handled Barraman, and you believe his s**t, even that pompous prick of a boyfriend."
"That was the plan all discussed and agreed on it."
"Looks like you all did a good job of f*****g it right up. Courtney is in hospital after trying to commit suicide. And you think that's f*****g handling it?! Well fuckin done sis. You all well and truly screwed that one up didn't you?!"
She opened her mouth then shut it again. "Just let me do what I have planned and stay the f**k away from Courtney. "
"But she's my friend?"
"That's debatable, don't you think?"
"No."
"For fucksake sis, do you really think Courtney will forgive you that easily, forgive you all? Especially Issac, the one person who is supposed to stand by her through thick and thin and decides she's not worth it, because of what? Misinterpreted photos?"
"She'd cheated on him before, what makes you think she won't do it again?"
"Be serious right now Simone. He knew which means that she told him, which means she felt guilty and that means she cared enough to tell him."
"Or maybe she thought if she didn't Barraman would tell him."
"We'll never know what went on, but what we do know is that Barraman orchestrated this to make everyone turn against her and he did, quite effectively may I add. You were all dumb enough to fall for his c**k and bull something Courtney will never forgive you for because you drove her to a f*****g COMA!"
Tears slid down her face. I didn't share one ounce of pity for her. Not one bit.
"Leave it to me. I think you and your friends have done enough damage control." I walked away. "Just think about what you've done. Courtney may have said she was okay with it all, but words, feelings and thoughts are very different."
"Where are you going?"
"None of your business." I said asking out the door closing the door behind me.
What she didn't know wouldn't hurt her. She'd done enough damage. I just hope Courtney would be up to visitors, especially me after all that my sister and their friends had done to her.

I stepped into the hospital room. Courtney was sleeping. I smiled hoping that she wouldn't kick me out once she came around.
I sat down in the chair beside the bed just looking at her, she looked so peaceful. She was beautiful, pity there was so much between us stopping us from being together.
I'm not even sure if she will ever forgive Issac and take him back. My sister and the rest of her friends had really screwed up and screwed Courtney over. If their plan was so brilliant why had it backfired? The only person it hadn't meant to hurt it had. It had hurt her not only physically but emotionally too.
I would never have pinned Courtney as a girl who would take her own life because everything had gotten too much for her to handle.
She seemed so strong willed and fought with everything in her to get everything she truly wanted. She was a girl after my own heart and everyone around her had tore that away from her. Though she looked a hella lot different than she had from the last time that I had seen her.
Simohe had mentioned that she'd changed practically everything that made her, her for someone they didn't recognise.
From what I could see she wanted to show others she wasn't one to be messed with. Sim said she'd literally changed overnight and everyone was in favour, all but one person: Ashton Barraman. Since the day she showed a different side of herself was the day he targeted her and from that day things had got a lot worse between both of them which in the end led her to being here.
She stirred, opening her eyes. She looked at me groggily. "Ace?"
I smiled. "Hey Courtney."
She slowly pulled herself up. "What are you doing here Ace?" She coughed.
I passed her a glass of water which she took of me and thanked me for. "I came to see how you were. I wasn't sure I'd yous scream at me and kick me out after what my sister did to you."
She gulped it down and I took the empty glass off her. "Thanks "
I smiled and placed it down.
"I should be mad, but it has nothing to do with you. We had a good plan problem was that I didn't think my friends would turn on me in the end and believe all of the bullshite that Barraman was feeding them. Especially Issac."
Her eyes began to tear up. "He promised me everything would be okay and he said horrible things to me. Nothing happened between me and Jett Wolfe, but he didn't believe it cause the photos told a different story. They were docked; anyone with half a brain could see that they were."
I placed my hand on hers. I looked into her eyes without breaking contact. "I believe you."
"Thanks, that means a lot. Pity, Simone and the others don't believe me."
"Can I ask you something and don't go off on one."
"I won't, I promise."
"What really happened between you and Barraman?"
She scrunched her face and swallowed, holding back her tears. "He came over the house for Tucker but he wasn't in. We were getting on for a change there was no shitty remarks we were just playing on the PS4. Once the game was over he began to act weird and kissed me. I know I should've pushed him away before I did but, I was shocked. I didn't even mean yo kiss him back once I realised what was going on I pushed him away. I told Issac straight after it happened. I was so stupid I thought I had lost him, but ge assured me everything was okay and I believed him. Until, s**t started happening and he said all those s**t things about me and dumped me. I can't believe he believed everything in the photos were more than what actually. Jett and I were just talking, nothing else. "
"I believe you Courtney. Listen. I'm going after Barraman. He's taken too many liberties and doesn't know the words called personal barrier or space. The only way he knew about Simone and Jayden was because he planted cameras in my personal space. The basement where I like to chill after a bad day either play snooker or invite a girl down there. You know what I mean?" I wiggled my eyebrows.
"God you're so gross Ace. I don't wish to know about next week's washing or your sexcapades."
I laughed. "You're funny Court."
"And you're gross."
"Love you too." I continued laughing.
She laughed and smiled. It was nice to see her happy after all the s**t she'd been through.
I stopped laughing. "I'll sort this Court, he won't know what's hit him. He won't bother you again."
"I hope so, Ace, he wants me out."
"Well we'll have to make sure that won't happen won't we?"
She smirked. "Thanks Ace, for everything."
"It's the least I can do angel."
