Numb

Andy's POV:

My head was pounding.

The car ride back to Ash's house was spent in complete silence, which made my headache even worse. I needed for her to say something, anything! It seemed that her not speaking made me feel even worse than when she was.

It had been horrible, watching her and that fucking kid flirt with her.She was the sweetest girl in the whole world, and yet, she happened to attract a fucking teenage prick. What I wouldn't give to be him.

Fuck. I can't be thinking that way about my best friend's little sister! That more or less makes her my sister s well, even though I've only known her like a week.... It doesn't matter, Ashley would kill me if anything happened between me and her, and it wouldn't be worth it anyways, ruining Ash and my friendship over her.

But then there was the time spent with her. I loved every single moment I had with her, even now, when we were both clearly pissed off at each other, I couldn't help but adore her even more for standing her ground with me. Despite the fact that the silent act was somewhat childish.

I couldn't help but crave the feeling of her body pressed against mine whenever we hugged. The way my ears ached to hear her sweet voice, and how I loved the sound of her singing to herself softly when she thought nobody was around. The way her eyes lit up and shone whenever she talked about something that she was passionate about. How the day we went out together, just me and her, we got even closer than either of us ever expected to. The little things made her the highlight of my day.

As we pulled into the driveway, a new thought passed through my head. It stayed with me as Courtney briskly exited my car, and stormed into her house, no doubt complaining to her brother about my overreaction.

I was falling in love with Courtney Purdy.


Courtney's POV:

"Your best friend is a jackass!" I shouted as I entered the house, slamming the door behind me.

I stalked into the liven room where Ash and the guys were watching a movie, a beer in all of their hands.

At my violent shouting, Ash raised a questioning eyebrow, "well hello to you too. How was your first day of school?"

I plop myself down on the floor and glare up at him, crossing my arms over my chest angrily, "not the point. Tell your dick of a friend to stay the hell out of my personal life!"

That's when Andy entered the room, glancing at me once before grabbing a beer from the fridge and sitting beside Ashley on the couch. Ashley looks briefly between Andy and I, frowning at the tension clearly between us.

"Alright, what happened?' Jinx finally asks.

I turn my head away from them, "ask him."

"We're asking you, Courtney." Ashley says sternly.

I sigh, and refuse to look at Andy, "so I was in the office waiting for one of you guys since you said one of you would pick em up form school," they all nod, signalling that they understand,
"and this guy-"

"Wait wait wait. A guy? For fuck's sake, did it have to be a guy?" Ashley interrupts, scowling in annoyance.

I ignore his rude interruption and continue, "yes Ashley, a guy. They're very common in high school you know. Well this guy had been nice enough to show me around all day, and this person over here," I point an accusing finger at Andy, "was a complete jackass towards him!"

Nobody speaks for a minute, then Ashley pats Sandy o the shoulder, "thanks man, that was pretty cool of you."

I abruptly sad up then, anger bubbling up inside of me, "you what? Are you actually siding with him? God dammit Ashley, he was being nice to me! It's a common act between civil human beings. You know what, I'm done, I'm going upstairs."

I then turn sharply on my heel, and stomp upstairs. I throw myself onto my bed and scream into my pillow, resisting the urge to pull my hair out by its roots.

Men can truly be inconsiderate.
