Ten Lies Courtney Told Duncan

"Ugh, you stink!" / "I really wish you'd go away." / "I hate you." / And the lies just keep piling up.

Chapter Ten: "I Hate You."

Duncan was afraid that he had really done it this time. He had really made her so angry at him that she was at a point where she could no longer breath she was so consumed by her fury. "Courtney I-" He tried to mumbled out as she laid on their bed, but he stopped when he heard her cold, venomous words.

"I hate you."

Maybe he was supposed to brush that off lightly like he always had. She had said it so many times before, whenever she was angry with him, but there was something about the way she had just it that made his blood run cold. He stiffened because, well, this time, he wasn't sure that she was joking.

There were so many reasons that she had to just leave him. To just forget about him and never come back. He had always known she was too good for him. He had tried to deny it, but she deserved better.

He didn't respond back to her- he just rolled over in their bed, detaching himself from her as he stared at the ceiling.

"I hate you." Those words rang through his mind like a needle stabbing through the skin, like a paper cut. They were only words… but they hurt a lot more than they should.

It really sucked to hear her say that. Because, well, he kind of loved her.

He knew he pissed Courtney off more than he should have. He knew he didn't always treat her right. But he never thought he could hurt her this bad, that she would… that she would hate him. Like really resent, really wish they weren't together.

It hurt. His whole heart ached because it hurt so badly. Thinking of her words made him want to throw up. It made him want to-

"I didn't mean it." He felt soft hands wrap around his neck and heard her sniff back tears. "I never mean it when I say that." She sounded upset. So he pulled her toward him, letting her place her head in the crook of his neck. "I don't hate you, Duncan. I couldn't hate you. I'm so sorry."

He pressed his lips to her, quieting her apologies. He looked into her eyes with a sad smile, sighing deeply. "I know you don't mean it. I know you don't mean it, Princess."

No, he didn't.

"I know."

Authors Note:

Aww, damn guys! It's the end of the road here. Done!

Okay, well, this is my favorite chapter of them all, and of course it's the biggest lie of them all, so i guess it makes sense that this would be the last and final chapter.

I would like to thank everyone for all the kind reviews and favorites! Each one was really enjoyable to read and they were all so sweet!

Also, I am thinking of possibly making a sequel to this... 'Ten Lies Duncan Told Courtney', anyone?

Thanks for reading, and I hoped you enjoyed the last chapter of 'Ten Lies Courtney Told Duncan'!
