Chapter 7: 0.6

❀Courtney's P.O.V❀

"So what you're trying to say is that a ghost knocked on your door and then went away when you opened it?" I question from across the fire to Damian before I let out a light chuckle.

He scoffs and crosses his arms across his chest. "It was supposed to be scary..."

"I'm sorry." I laugh and so does Julian who is sitting beside me with a stick in his hand, eating a roasted marshmallow.

"Anyways," Damian tries to continue but gets cut off when I feel a water droplet fall on my forehead then one on my nose before I feel them all over my face. "Shit!" He groans and we all begin to flee.

I'm the first one to reach the car and I curse silently to myself when the doors are locked. I try to cover myself with my jacket and shiver as I accidentally lift my shirt along with it.

Suddenly, I hear the sound of the doors unlock and I look behind me to see Alexander smiling at me with his car keys in his hand. I smile back at him and quickly get inside the car to get away from the rain and cold air.

A few moments later, Alexander enters the car and sits on the driver's seat. I furrow my eyebrows when he starts the engine and ask, "aren't we going to wait for Julian and Damian?"

He chuckles. "Yes we are, Courts. I'm just going to turn on the heater; it's freezing."

"Oh, right." I nod my head swiftly and frown when the warm air doesn't reach me. "Umm...Alexander?" I call softly.

"Hmm?"

"Can I sit on the passenger's seat? I can't feel the warm air from here." I ask almost in a whisper and he pats the seat beside him.

"Go right ahead, Courts."

I smile gratefully and begin to crawl to the passengers seat, accidentally kicking him across the face when I lift it to sit down right. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry!"

He groans as he cups his mouth and I lean towards him to check if he's alright. "God damn, Courts. I feel like you did that on purpose; you kicked me hard as fuck." He mumbles.

"No, I didn't mean it." I say and remove his hand from his face and gasp when I see that his lip is bleeding and the blood is all over his hands. "Oh my god..." I trail off as I begin to get dizzy. "I feel nauseous."

I lay back on the seat and begin to fan my face as I start to hyperventilate. He rolls down the window and spits out the blood before he turns to me with a concerned look.

"Are you okay?" He asks and I quickly shake my head and close my eyes as I try to calm my breathing. "Calm down, Courtney. Breathe, just breathe."

"What do you think I'm doing?" I snap and he looks taken aback.

"Geez, sorry." He mutters and spits out the window again. "You tore my lip open the least you could do is not give me attitude. I'm just trying to help."

"I know," I sigh. "I'm sorry it's just that I'm already breathing." I quickly add in a reasonable manner.

"Yeah, it was a stupid suggestion sorry." He scoffs to himself and I let out a soft laugh.

"It's alright, I'll be fine. Just don't make me look at you."

He chuckles and I hear him spit again. "You know you want to keep looking at me 24/7."

I groan. "Oh for the love of god, please don't start to be cocky right now."

"It's in my nature, Courts. I can't help it."

I roll my eyes and stop fanning myself as I am no longer dizzy. "Yeah, sure."

Just then, the car doors from the backseat open and both Julian and Damian climb in, dripping wet. "Did you idiots get lost?" Alexander asks as he turns back and I turn back as well to see them smiling sheepishly.

"I was having one last marshmallow...it was a little bit too moist but it was still delicious." Damian admits and a short laugh escapes my lips. You goof.

Alexander then turns to Julian and asks,  "What about you, doofus?"

"I was just going for a walk." He replies casually and I raise an eyebrow. "Anyways," he sighs. "Do you have any towels?"

"The trunk." Is all Alexander responds with and turns the key in the ignition. "Are you all ready to go home or do you want to stop by at Crusty's?"

Crusty's: it might sound like a place everyone tries to avoid because the food is dry and crumbly but it is actually the highest ranked pizza place in town. Let me just say that the way they prepare their pizzas might seem strange but it is actually very delicious.

They have combinations from peanut butter with chocolate chips - which is my personal favorite - to strawberry cream with freshly cut strawberries. The first time I heard about it, I was like, 'Who ever thought pizza dough, tomatoes, peanut butter, and chocolate chips was a good combination?' But I later found out that they prepare the bread differently for each combination.

For example, they have cookie dough for the crust for one and the "sauce" is Nutella and the toppings are cookie and hazelnut crumbs - kind of like a giant cookie. I have tried it and it was delicious but didn't reach number one for my taste buds, number one is still peanut butter and chocolate chips.

They also have normal pizza with normal toppings but honestly with all of the other options available, no one really pays attention to that type of pizza anymore.

"Crusty's!" Damian cuts me out of my train of thought as he cheers and hollers. "Caramel and peanuts, baby!" He dances around in his seat and I laugh to myself when Julian stares at him as if he grew two other heads.

"Caramel and peanuts?" Julian questions and Damian nods his head with a smile. "I've never tried it. I always get Nutella with cookie and hazelnut crumbs."

Alexander makes a funny noise at the back of his throat as he begins to drive on the road. "Puh-lease. We all know peanut butter and chocolate chips is the best."

I get excited when the words leave his mouth. "Right!? It's the best combination!"

He nods his head and gives me a quick side glance. "You got that right, Courts."

"It's not bad," Damian chimes in. "I mean it doesn't beat caramel and peanuts but it's good, I guess."

"You guys are just haters; that pizza tastes so much like a Reese's cup and I love Reese's cups." I say in a happy tone. "Chocolate is love. Chocolate is life."

"Did you seriously just quote that one very disturbing video of Shrek raping a guy who was a little too obsessed with him?" Damian shudders.

"It isn't exactly considered rape because the guy enjoyed it, he went as far as to describe it for fuck's sake." Julian argues as he throws his hands up in the air.

I grimace as they mention the video that permanently ruined the innocence in my virgin eyes. I turn to point an accusing finger at Julian. "You tricked me into watching that!"

He only chuckles. "You should've seen your face; complete gold!"

I narrow my eyes at him in a deathly glare. "You still owe me."

"Oh I'm sorry, I don't remember you letting me borrow money..?" He smirks and I scoff.

"You know exactly what I mean."

"No, I don't actually. What do you mean?"

Suddenly, Damian is singing at the top of his lungs. "Said you're running out of time, what do you mean!?"

"Can you please keep your mouth shut, thank you so much." Alexander sings as he changes the lyrics and I snort.

"Good one." I tell him as I laugh and Damian surprisingly does as told; he is now sitting quietly in his seat as we drive towards Crusty's.

*sigh* now I'm hungry. I literally just made up that pizza place. Crusty's, I wish it existed. Damnit, I just created a nonexistent place that I wish can exist. *sobs* let me know if you think the place sounds good or not and if you wish it existed. I know I do. Peace out.
