Boxing Day - Pt 1

Courtney 

God  I was so glad to go out and meet the girls today. It's not that  I haven't missed dad. I had, but I needed to get out of the house. 

Tucker and Bryce were driving me insane. I'm not even sure I'd make it to the end of the holidays when his parents get back from his grandparents. I'm counting down the days after the escapade with the mistletoe. Dad had noticed my black eye and started questioning how I had got it. I told him that  I got in the way of two dumb boys arguing over a dumb game. I knew better now to tell my dad the whole truth he already was on question and answer  terms with Bryce and he was scared shitless of the gentle giant but at 6ft 2 he definitely looked very intimidating.

Tucker and Bryce  were heading over to Ashton’s later on. But that didn’t want me to stay in the house longer than necessary. 

I had breakfast with all of them and kissed my parents on the cheek hugging them before saying goodbye and I was off for some retail therapy. Tucker and Bryce rolled their eyes muttering "typical girl."  

I slapped them round the back of their heads laughing before leaving with a warning of 'you wait till you get back!' Like  whatever!

They continued with their gaming shouting after the TV screen as I closed the door. Heading towards Simones where the three of them were waiting outside we all hugged and walked into town. "So where first?"

'I have to get my dumb brother a present for his birthday,  he's eighteen  new year day."

"Okay let's hit the shops girls."

They all smiled and we split linked arms heading into the shopping center. "So are you still all coming tomorrow night?"

"We are. Ace is coming and he said he wants to celebrate his birthday in style and once he turns eighteen mom and dad can't haste him that he's too young to drink anymore.  Are the idiots going to be there too?" 

"If you're referring to Tucker's friends unfortunately. "

"So how’s it been with Bryce  lodging at yours?"

"Hell gd and Tucker are slsstd arguing :

"He has a crush on you, you know."

"So Tucker keeps insinuating. We're friends nothing more."

"Just wait until he's gone through puberty you won't know what's hit you."

"Whatever, let's see what's in the sales."

"Nice way to change the subject, Court but let's go shopping!"

We all squealed and  went into every stord picking up some decent bargains, even Simone managed to get a present for Ace.

We all sat down in the food court having lunch. This had been the best day with my friends ever. I can't wait until we're all together on New Years Eve. 

Tucker

Me and Bryce had argued nonstop after he'd decide to twist mom's arm to getting that dumb mistletoe what tge helm was he playing at. No rephrase that egsf the hell was he even thinking. He'd tried to play it all off and it was pissing me off. I knew he had a crush on Courtney since day one.  Yet he couldn't admit it. Who was he more scared of me or my dad?  I  know my dad can be scared but he was just messing with him. Me on the other hand wasn't. I'll break every bone if he oversteps the mark with my sister. 

He may be my friend  but I know he'll never treat her the way she deserves. He is the definition of a bad boy just like Ashton. He will never lay one finger on my little sister and I'll make sure he doesn't.

I can't believe she slapped us behind our heads. She'll get what's coming to her when she gets home. Me and Bryce are playing crash bandicoot until we go over Ashtos later.  We're both shouting at the screen, this game is such a cheat. We played a few games before heading to Ashton’s.

Bryce



Is it me or has Courtney been ignoring me? She's barely said two words to me since the other day and her dad is as scary as hell. He pulled me and Tucker up on what happened to Courtney’s check once he'd had his say and Tucker made sure he'd gone and couldn't hear us. He laid into me about Courtney lying to their dad. It was her choice to lie I was damn glad for one she had I for one didn't want to be at the receiving end if his wrath for kidding his princess and if was clear she was just that she was so close to he'd dad.  I wished I had that with my old man. I was jealous but I would show it, let alone admit it. 

We had argued non stop since I've been here about why I wanted to stay here and not see my grandparents. Maybe I should have gone. I was beginning to regret my decision. Maybe that was why  Courtney wasn't talking to me cause me and Tucker arguing and I was clearly getting under their feet. I'd spoke to his mom briefly about  me going tk my grandparents because of slm the arguments and she had said it would all die down Tucker wasn't used to having to share his holidays with anyone but his sister till the new year's party. She'd practically begged me to stay and see if through,  but I couldn't see things getting any better just worse and I was ready to admit i should never have opened my mouth and begged tk away with my best friends. It seemed like I was losing them both.  I seriously couldn't wait for my olds to get back and get the hell out of here and never make this mistake again or I'll end up with no friends at all.
