eighteen. Last Night in Paradise
"How the hell did you make a full song off of a phrase I sang to you?" Duncan looked at the latina in awe and admiration as he held the lyrics to the new song. "I'm just deep like that.." she giggled, trying to avoid his eyes as much as she could. "Trauma, emotions, intelligence.. you name it." He furrowed his eyebrows in concern looking at the girl, as she looked down at her hands. "Court, I-"
"I'm gonna break up with Scott. This trip, spending a whole week without him, actually being... uh friend ish with you! It was exactly what I needed." She sighed happily, as the rapper reached over putting his hand ontop of hers. "I'm happy for you, really. Can you please tell me why you ran away yesterday?" Her onyx eyes finally looked towards him, catching his teal ones concern all over them. Silence took over the room, seeming like she was trying to find the words to speak. "Cour-" "I'm scared, okay! Duncan, I am so scared. I never thought I could look at at him that way but h-he's different. He did it. He snatched me up, and forced me against the wall. He was gripping my neck so hard, and when I looked at him.. I felt like I didn't even recognize him."
The Italian was reeling with emotions. He clenched his fist trying to listen and be there for the brunette, but he didn't know how much of this he could take. "I'm-" Tears began to pour out her eyes as she cut him off again. "You can't tell anyone this, Duncan. You're the only person who knows he did this to me... please don't tell. Especially Heather."

Heather rose from her shared bed stretching her long arms widely, closing her dark eyes trying to adjust them to the sunlight peering in from the window. Her calmness quickly disappeared as she realized the events of last night. She jumped out of the bed, leaving the sleeping Latino as she rushed out heading to the two talent's room. She put her ear up to the door as she was about to knock but stopped herself listening in. "I honestly don't regret the other night. But I'm scared if Scott finds out, he could ruin my career.. he already almost has." A frown appeared on the heiress's lips, listening to her bestfriend's words. That asshole didn't deserve to breathe the same air as her, let alone get close enough to date her. Twice. But what happened the other night?
"Courtney, I would kill that guy if he ever tries to hurt you again. But... i uh- i don't regret the other night either. I mean I wish there was more memory of it but-" Knocking hard on the door, Heather heard the voices stop as she waited for an answer. She had heard enough, it was time to actually get answers. A few moments later, the door swung open revealing the brunette in her pajamas. Before she could greet her bestfriend she was pulled into a tight hug. "Court, I was worried sick! Why would you go no contact all day like that?" Attempting to catch her breath as the Asian let go, Courtney held the girl's arm. "I'm sorry, that was so irresponsible. But I'm okay and I was always okay, don't let your worry for me ruin your vacation." The two hugged again quickly as the taller girl smiled at her. "Speaking of, since it is our last day here. Alejandro planned a whole bonding day for us, I despise these plans to get you and Duncan close but they actually sound fun." "Right here, Heather." The girl laughed obnoxiously as she walked away from the door. "I wanted you to hear!"

The group exited the villa the carribean sun shining brightly on them. "Ugh, can't we just spend our last day tanning?" The latina groaned as she opened up her arms letting the sun beam on her chest. "Yeah, like I don't see why not?" Heather scoffed from behind her as Alejandro cleared his throat. "Follow me!" The two rolled their eyes as they began to walk with the group. Bridgette and Geoff fell to the back of the group, flirting with eachother. Brody and Kitty right infront of them, Kitty riding on the tan guy's back and infront of them Courtney and Duncan followed behind Alejandro and Heather. The singer smiled up at the Italian, looping her arm with his as they walked. In seeing this action, the raven haired heiress in the front pulled Courtney towards her disconnecting their arms. "This is a bonding trip for them. Why are you stopping them from bonding?" The Latino glared at the tall woman next to him as she rolled her eyes. "They share a room they're always bonding. Shut up."
The group walked onto the beach to be greeted by almost a full on celebration for them. Just missing the music and the people, of course. Alejandro smiled at them, throwing his hand out as if presenting it. "Voila! Our last night in the Bahamas will be spent partying but we're the only guests." There was silence, as the brunette actually looked to everyone's face. Half the group was gone, only the two entertainers and Heather, glaring at the two. The singer's eyes were filled with happy tears as she smiled at Alejandro. "This is so sweet. I will make sure Chris pays you heavenly or gets you a promotion. This trip and this party is just amazing. Thank you, Alejandro." She gave the fellow Latino a hug, before pulling Duncan into the beach party.
Alejandro turned to Heather, who's glare was set in the sand. He walked closer to her with a genuine smile. "Come on, Lee. You look too beautiful tonight to mope." The Asian woman smirked as she looked up at him. "You're good.. And there's something going on with my bestfriend." "But tonight is your last night in paradise. So let's all enjoy it and find out what wrong when we all get back, okay?" She reluctantly nodded before walking into the party with him.
