Tucker
The front door closed and I looked at Courtney with a raised eyebrow, she looked a mess. I sniffed the air. Where was that dreadful smell coming from? "Where the hell have you been?"
"Simone’s."
"s**t. Where's that smell coming from?"
"Sorry, I need to shower."
"What the hell were you doing there Courtney? Taking a bath in rubbish?"
"I'll tell you once I shower and get out of these clothes."
"Sure."
She leaped up the stairs. If she didn't hurl I was sure I was gonna.
Courtney walked down the stairs in her tee-shirt and jeans. At last she looked better now. "I think I got that stench off me. I scrubbed for over an hour."
She jumped down on the sofa next to me. "Remind me never to complain about your room again."
"I thought you were at Simone’s?"
"I was."
"Then why did you smell so bad?"
"You forgot didn't you?"
"Forgot what?'
"The deal between me and Simone’s brother. If I lost I had to tidy his room for a month."
"I didn't think you were being serious."
"Deals are always serious Tucker."
"Still, you could've backed out."
She shook her head. "Not a chance. I never back our no matter how bad of is. "
"So it was that bad Hugh?"
"It was disgusting. I threw up."
"I can imagine. So you're doing this deal for long?"
"A month."
"Are you crazy?"
"Some may think so."
"You're crazy Courtney."
"Maybe."
"So did Simone walk you home?"
"No. Ace did. She wanted to, but he told her he would."
"From now on you walk home with your friend. I don't like him."
"You don't like Sim either."
"Okay fine. I don't trust him, just promise you'll walk home with your friend from now on?"
"Cross my heart." I said, drawing a cross over my chest.
He smiled, pulling me into a hug. "I'm just trying to protect you sis. You're young and naive, you need to be aware of guys like him."
"I know."
She soon fell asleep. I needed to know about this guy. The guys seemed to know him. I guess I'll ask them
Issac
Me and Courtney lay on my bed. I know we shouldn't be up here cause mom will have a heart attack and my brother will make sexiest comments. "So, how's it going at Simone’s with her brother?"
She groaned. "Just say your room is heaven compared to his. I swear he just makes it more messier than it was when I left it. He's annoying me to no end Issac, it's like he like to press my buttons and see how far he can push me."
"That's what Simone says about him too." I laughed.
"I feel like punching him."
I laughed harder. "So does Simone. I'm surprised she puts up with his ass."
'"I have to be over there in like twenty minutes. He's let me have time to practice for the play coming up."
"Wow that's generous of him."
"I know right?!"
We both laughed hard before I told Courtney I would walk her to Simone’s. She smiled and we pulled ourselves up off the bed heading downstairs, heading out of the house and towards Simone’s, chatting and laughing. "Thanks for walking with me Isaac."
"My pleasure kitten. I had to meet the guys, so I was no biggy." I said, taking his arm off her shoulders. "I'll see you at school kitten."
"Okay. I'll see you Monday Isaac.”
Ace
Where the hell is she? She's never late!
I was growing angrier by the second, until I saw her and that Issac douche walking towards the house. His arm strawn over her shoulders.
So she thinks she can be cosy with her boyfriend while I'm standing here pacing like an i***t. I opened the door standing frowning, unimpressed. I cut eyes at Isaac as he walked away from her. I couldn't help but notice he cut his eyes too, little prick.
"You're late!"
"No I'm not Gee, get your panties out of a twist."
"So your boyfriend is more important than our deal?"
"He's not my boyfriend and I can hang with whoever I like. I'm here aren't I?"
"Don't do it again."
"Jealous much." She said, storming past me.
"Whatever." I said slamming the door.
I followed her upstairs to my room.
"I swear you make a bigger mess every time I leave, so you can take the mick."
"Not at all, I'm just genuinely messy."
"I can believe that?"
I stood behind her talking into her ear. "If you do a good job, I'll teach you how to play snooker and give you a few pointers."
She gulped loudly. I smirked moving away from her. I liked teasing her if was easy.
Courtney
I could feel his cold breath on my neck when the hell did he get so damn close? I didn't like it. I didn't feel comfortable. He moved away and I released a breath I didn't know I was holding in.
I quickly got to tidying the pigsty he called his room so I could gey the hell outta here.
Two hours later it was done and at least I could see his floor. I turned to walk out and he stood in the door frame at least three feet taller than me. I gulped this wast good. "I'm done now. I'm going home."
He shook his head. "I promised to show you how to play snooker. Come on." He said grabbing my hand and pulling me with him before I had a chance to argue.
"Bu..bu.."
"An hour tops the I'll walk you home."
"My brother said Sim had to walk me home."
"And do you always listen to your brother?"
"Yes."
"Well it's time you thought for yourself."
He let go of my hand when we got into the basement and he racked up the balls. "I'll show you how it's done, okay. I'll teach you everything I know."
I gulped and nodded.
He was first to take a shot separating the balls and potting a red so he continued, until he missed one making it my turn. I went to take my shot. "Here let me help you."
I gulped and nodded.
He leaned over me showing me how to take the shot, his cold breath on my face. "Got it?"
I nodded and took my shot. It was like that for every shot I took. He was extremely close making me nervous and I could feel something poking in me.
"What's that smell?"
I knew that voice anywhere; Ashton.
Ace pulled away. "Guys what are you doing here?"
"Snooker and beer night Ace. Don't tell me you forgot?"
"No I didn't"
"Whose the chick?"
He opened his mouth. But Ashton answered. "That smell is Courtney, Tucker’s sister."
"I best be going Ace. I need to shower."
"You sure do, we can smell you outside cinderella."
"Ash!"
He grinned.
"I'll walk you home."
"No I'm fine."
"But."
"I said I'm fine, your friends are her now, there's no need to entertain your sister's friend anymore."
"Your brother won't be happy when I tell him you were in here alone with Ace."
"I don't care!"
"Oh you will."
"No I wont!" I said, running out.
"Courtney!"
I ran home, tears falling from my face. How could that asshole be so insensitive? I slammed the door running upstairs ignoring my brother shouting after me as I slammed the bathroom door locking it stripping off of my clothes stepping onto the shower the tears turning cold as the fell to my chin.
