Courtney POV.

+8 Point
I can’t take it anymore. All the lies, betrayal, deceit and all the other words to describe how they all did this to me. I don’t care if they were trying to protect me. Protect me from what? The f*****g truth! Well, that’s it, I’m done.
I need to leave. I can’t take this. I can’t do this!
I walk through the mansion ignoring the stares and I know every fucker here knew the truth
and not one of them had the balls to tell me the truth.
My heart is heavy, but in a way, I am numb. Everything I thought I knew was a damn lie from
the start. It all started with that b***h who should have stayed dead.
“Courtney, wait!” I stop, but I don’t turn around. My mind has been made up. I’m packing my
s**t and I’m leaving. None of them have any right to know where I will go.
“Sweetheart, you have to understand…” I don’t say anything I just keep walking. I don’t care
anymore. He follows me and keeps droning on and on. I feel myself getting ready to lose
control.
I stop at the top of the stairs, and he moves to stand in front of me. I look at him and he is
crying. The tears will not work on me anymore. They have destroyed that last part of humanity
in me when they all chose to lie.
“We wanted to tell you. You were under so much stress. We were going to tell you.” I don’t even respond or react to him. I see it now. They are all the same. Scheming, back stabbing fuckers who only care about themselves. Selfish the lot of them.
“You have to believe me, darlin. I never wanted to hurt you. None of us did.” Ok, that’s enough.
“But you still did. You are all the same. Doing what you think is right for you! Every single one of you has lied to me in some way or another. I’m done. Now please move Wolf, don’t make me hurt you.” I say low, dejected, exhausted with them all. I need to leave. There is no coming
back from this.
I thought I could have a good life with my remaining family. But now I see it clearly: they are only out for themselves. And the ringleader of all of this. Is her, my momma.
“What do you mean, you’re done? You aren’t leaving, darlin. It’s not safe.” I scoff before I laugh. Not safe. Yeah right.

“You think I’m safe being here with you a lot? You have all lied to me, you have all betrayed my
trust, and you have the nerve to stand here and act like the wounded party by feeding me more
bullshit and lies. No, f**k you, Wolf. Now move, before I make you.” I say to him, my voice not
wavering.
“Sweetheart, please try to understand. We are trying to protect you …” Oh, here we go.
“Protect me? From what? I need protecting from you all, not from the threat outside of these walls. But from the ones inside them. I’m done. Y’all can rot in hell.” I say with a level of calm I
never knew I possessed.
He takes a step closer to me, but I step to the side. He reaches for me and I grab his gun, aim
it and take the safety off.
“I said, I’m done. Now move.” I say and Wolf raises his hands and steps back. I hear a click
and I chuckle.
“Court, lower the gun.” And here she is, mother of the year, aiming a gun at me. She should know my temper and me being this calm is not good.
“You going to shoot me, mother. Go on, do it. Put me out of my misery. At least I won’t be coming back from it.” I spit, not taking my eyes from Wolf, and he looks worried.
I turn my head to look at the woman who gave birth to me. She has sadness in her eyes. Well, good for her. I’m not playing and I’m not falling for her s**t. They are all dead to me.
“Take your anger out on me, not him. Come on, Courtney, I’m the one who hurt you the most. I lied to you for years. I told you our family died. You never had friends because of me. I made sure of it. You were alone because of me. Then I faked my death, again everything that has happened is because of me.” I lower the gun and turn to look at her and she is smirking.
I don’t think I raise the gun at her and take the stance she taught me. That smirk on her face
widens and I see the pride in her eyes. Sick b***h!
“You’re right. It all started with you. The w***e who couldn’t keep her legs closed. Too much of a p***y to face the truth. You did all of this not only to protect yourself, but to keep me isolated. So yeah, I do blame you, but you know what? You forgot one thing you taught me.” I
with a sick and twisted grin on my face.
say
“What is that?” she asks.
“Never f*****g hesitate.” I squeeze the trigger and she goes down. Wolf screams as he rushes
to her side to check her over.

“What did you do?” Chief screams as he comes running up the stairs and I lift the gun and aim it at him.
“I’m leaving and none of you will come looking for me. I’m done. She will live because she is like a cockroach. I will not be coming back. You all will leave me and my bean alone. I see anyone come after me or find me. I will start piling bodies. You all have made me this way. This is on you.” I turn and walk as fast as I can to my bedroom.
My hands are shaking. I can’t believe I just did that. I shot her. I shot my momma. The bile
rises in my throat and I run to the bathroom and throw up. I’m shaking. What have I done?
Oh god, what have I done? I’m no better than them. I’m just like them. I really need to leave. I
run with my hand under my bump as I reach the closet and rip my clothes down and stuff
them in a suitcase. I grab all my s**t and pack that, too.
The bedroom door bursts open, and I take aim. Fabio comes to a stop seeing me. The tears
are streaming down my face.
“Courtney, it’s ok. I’m not going to hurt you. I’m here to help. What they did, what we all did, is
wrong. I’m so sorry, sweetheart.” He says and I feel my legs going weak but I stand firm, locking my legs to stop them from shaking.
“Please, let me help you. Ok. I’m going to grab your suitcase and I’m going to get you out of
here.” He says and I nod my head at him when he does as he said.
He offers me his hand. “Come on Court, I’m not going to let anyone hurt you, I promise.” He says and I place my hand in his and he sighs in relief.
“Come on.” He leads me out of the room and I turn to look down the hall.
“Don’t look.” He says, and he takes me in a different direction. I glance back and I see my
momma with tears in her eyes as she looks at me. She mouths I love you.
I’m in a daze. I shot her. This is not who I am. Fabio leads me out of the mansion and towards
a waiting SUV. They made me this way. This is on them.
“There is money on this card. It is untraceable. The tank is full of gas. Get far away, Courtney.
Dump the SUV and buy a new vehicle. No one will follow you. I’m sorry about all of this, Courtney. You don’t deserve any of us. Now go.” He says, shutting the door and you don’t need to tell me twice. Flight mode has taken hold and I floor the gas and drive out of the compound
and away from them all.
