Life Love and Lies prt 7


“W-w-what did you just say??” My voice was really shaky “D-d-did you j-just say-y D-Duncan did d-drugs?”  This can’t be true.

“Yeah....” I felt like I wanted to cry when Zac confirmed it.

“How do you guys know this?” I quickly looked behind me to see if Duncan was out from the washroom...not yet. I still had time to get out of here.

“Well, um...” Then Dave started as he told me that the band was able to convince Duncan to quit, and they discovered how musically talented he is with guitars. I also found out the reason he left was because he knew he was eventually going to get caught so he left. But what hurts me so much is that he didn’t tell me he was leaving and he lied to me about why he left. Duncan’s story was only half true. Two years doing drugs, two years in the band.

“I-I-I’m going to leave now...thanks for telling me the truth” My eyes were filled with tears, I could barely see. “...oh and if Duncan asks where I am, just tell him t-that I-I didn’t feel well and left”

“Okay...” I heard Dave said and I left the MMVA’s after party, took out my Samsung Instinct touch phone Duncan bought for me and phoned a cab.


I fell into my bed in my room, grabbed a pillow and cried loudly. How could he lie to me about something like this? Doesn’t he know how much I was hurt when he left?
Then I heard the front door open and Duncan called for me. I didn’t bother moving or answering him, just let him find me.

“Princess??” Duncan asked when he found me in my room “Dave told me you left cause you didn’t feel well, you okay?”

“No...” I said still crying my heart out.

“You’re crying...”

“So you’ve noticed?”

“Courtney...” He then walked up to me but I moved away before he could put his arms around me. I then heard him sigh “Courtney, what’s wrong?”

“Like you don’t know”

“I really don’t...tell me what’s wrong”

"You lied to me" I told Duncan as tears fell from my eyes

"I would never lie to you, Courtney..."

Obviously he didn't understand what i was talking about. "Then why did Dave tell me you left cause you were doing drugs??"

I saw his eyes widen in horror. I could tell he didn't want me to know this, but he couldn't keep it a secret forever.

I shook my head slowly "How could you lie to me about why you left?? Do you realize how much pain i was in four years ago? Now i find out what you told me wasn't the full story..."

"Courtney....I-I'm sorry..." I looked into his eyes, they were telling me that he's sorry, but that's not good enough.

"Why did you lie to me?? I thought you love me" I said as clear as i could. It's hard to talk when my heart's broken and i can't stop crying.

"I'm so sorry...I really and truly love you. I'm sorry, I-I didn't want the truth to hurt you." Duncan told me with a voice of regret.

"The truth was better than a lie!!" Duncan didn't say anything back and i continued "Why do you keep on doing this??? Why is it that every time i give you my heart, you end up letting it drop on the ground and shatter it into a million pieces?? I can't keep on repairing my heart Duncan, I'm not that strong" My face was completely wet of my tears, this is just so...so painful.

"I-I-I'm soooo sorry, Courtney....I hate myself for lying to you" Duncan was crying as he said this, even though i didn't look at his face while he said this, i could still tell.

I shook my head again "Sorry's not good enough, Duncan...I can’t keep doing this”

“Please don’t do this...”  He sounded like he knew exactly what I was going to do.

I shook my head “You’ve hurt me too much....”

“No....Courtney, please, I beg you”

I shook my head again “I can’t do this” That’s when I got up from my bed and left my room.


I opened Madeline’s bedroom door and woke her up.

“M-mommy??” she sounded really tired, but I had to tell her something important.

“Madeline, I need to tell you something really important”

“W-what is it, mommy?”

“I...” I took a deep breath and attempted to hold back my tears before I continued “Um..the guy living at our house these few days...he’s...he’s your daddy, Madeline.”

“That’s my daddy??” Madeline asked me, her expression not mad or sad, just a bit confused.

I nodded “I’m sorry for not telling you before”

“It’s okay”

“I-I also have something else you need to know....I’m leaving”

“For how long?”

“I’m not sure; I just know I won’t be living in this house for a while. Duncan will take care of you.”

“B-but will me get to see you?”

“Of course, I’ll always come to see you, it’s just I need to get out of here for a bit.”

“Okay..I love you mommy”

I smiled as I gave her a kiss on her cheek “I love you too, honey. Goodbye”

“Bye bye”


I left Madeline’s bedroom as I grabbed my stuff and headed my way to the front door, but as I got downstairs I was stopped by Duncan.

“Move” I demanded, my eyes looking at the floor so I wouldn’t make eye contact.

“Courtney, I’m sorry...”

“It’s not good enough”

“I’ll do anything to make it up to you....just name it...I’ll give you all my belongings, all my wealth, my car, my house, everything. I’ll even stab myself if you want me to, just don’t do this...” Duncan was still crying.

I shook my head “Goodbye Duncan”

~~

For the next few weeks I stayed at my friend, Stephanie’s house. I didn’t go back to my house, but I did call Duncan and gave him Steph’s address so Madeline can visit.

I heard from the media that Low Way cancelled all future tour dates until further notice. The public didn’t know why, but I did. Everyone still thinks Duncan and I are dating, ever since the paparazzi pictures of us kissing in his car after my makeover and the MMVA red carpet moment.

“Hey, Court?” Steph asked me.

“Yeah?” I responded.

“Guess what??” She sounded very excited. Besides the band and me, Steph was the only one who knew the truth about me and my ex.

“What is it?” I said almost laughing at her excitement.

“I WON backstage tickets to the Hedley concert tomorrow night at the Molson Amphitheatre!!!” Step was a big fan of them, and tickets were sold out before she had a chance to buy some.

“Congrats!” I congratulated my friend. “Have fun!!”

“Uh uh...you’re coming with me, the other ticket is for you”

“You don’t have to do this, Steph; I’m not the Hedley fan”

“But I have an extra ticket!!”

“Okay, fine I’ll come”

“YAY!!” Stephanie cheered while clapping her hands. I rolled my eyes with a smile; a concert should be fun...something to keep my mind off Duncan.

The next night

“WHOOO!!!” I heard Stephanie cheer when Hedley finished performing ‘For The Nights I Can’t Remember’. I laughed as I cheered along with her.

“This next song” The lead singer, Jacob, spoke “is requested by our good friend, Duncan from the band Low Way. It goes out to Courtney in the audience” I saw Jacob look at me as my heart skipped a beat with Duncan’s name ringing in my head “He says he’s sorry and he means every word in this song”

My heart was beating faster than usual. How did Duncan know I was going to be here? “You didn’t tell Duncan did you?” I asked Stephanie.

“No way!! You’re my best friend; I would never do that to you”

That’s when the song started and very quickly, Jacob started singing:

“Tired of always saying sorry
It's just another fighting story
And I can barely walk a straight line
I'm tired of learning life the hard way
I wish that being strong was easy
But I want it more this time

I was wrong, it's hard to say
At least I learned from my mistakes
I would change everything

'Cause I can't wait for the day
When finally I can say and you'll believe it
I can change and now I mean it
And I will fight for a way
To make up for the mess that I’ve been leaving
A second chance is all I'm needing
And anything I can do just to make it up to you
I would do anything
I'm Dying To Live Again

I was such a fool to hurt you
'Cause you're the one I always turn to
When I'm going out of my mind
I just bite the hand that feeds me
Instead of loving ones that need me
But I want it more this time

I was wrong, it's hard to say
At least I learned from my mistakes
I would change everything

'Cause I can't wait for the day
When finally I can say and you'll believe it
I can change and now I mean it
And I will fight for a way
To make up for the mess that I’ve been leaving
A second chance is all I'm needing
And anything I can do just to make it up to you
I would do anything
I'm Dying To Live Again

I pray that you'll see what I've become
I would give it all away to right the wrongs I’ve done
I don't want to fall for the same mistakes again
What's it going to take for this misery to end?

Anything I can do just to make it up to you
I would change everything

'Cause I can't wait for the day
When finally I can say and you'll believe it
I can change and now I mean it
And I will fight for a way
To make up for the mess that I’ve been leaving
A second chance is all I'm needing
And anything I can do just to make it up to you
I would do anything
I'm Dying To Live Again

Anything I can do, I would change everything
I'm Dying To Live Again
Anything I can do, just to make it up to you
I'm dying to live again
Anything I can do, I would change everything
I'm dying to live again
Anything I can do, just to make it up to you
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na”

I just stood there, as the lyrics to the song kept on repeating in my head. Then I felt dizzy and a bit faint. “Hey, Steph?” I asked trying to keep my balance

“Yeah?”

“Do you have some wate-“  I collapsed before I could finish my question.


I woke up and saw Steph and what looked like a paramedic looking at me. I looked around and realized I was backstage lying on top of a table.

I then saw Jacob walk up to me “You okay, Court?”

“Y-yeah I think...thanks”

I looked at Stephanie and she gave me a worried look, so I asked her what’s wrong.

The paramedic spoke for Stephanie “Courtney, we gave you a pregnancy test, and the results came out positive”

No....not again.
prt 7....i THINK prt 8 will be the finale... :)

Leave some feedback!

The song Hedley performed (not a real performance) in this story and the lyrics from the picture is from the song, Dying To Live Again, obviously by Hedley.
