Diary

Jordan (forgot last name)

Motel, Second day of Road Trip
That was great. My brother and I just had a fight about mom and Courtney's dad, and now I have to stay at this crappy motel room. I hope Courtney's having fun with Lloyd, she can do whatever she wants for all I care. But I do care. God! My life is messed up, man. That's it, I'm done. I'm calling Courtney's dad and telling him that either he tell her or I do. It's over.

Courtney McSweeney

Bench, Second day of Road Trip
Well, I just finished straightning things out with Lloyd and am now sitting on a bench outside his dorm room. But, the weird thing is that Jordan is supposed to be with his brother, and the car just dissapered. Maybe it got stolen!!!!! How are we supposed to get to Boston tomorrow! My whole life will be ruined if we don't get there on time or at all! How am I supposed to meet cute sophisticated college guys and have intelligent conversations instead of talking about hardcore rap with Jordan. Oh gotta go, dad's calling me on my cell.


Jordan

Bench, Second day of Road Trip
When I got here, Courtney was on the phone crying her eyes out. Her dad called her before I got the chance to tell her, and now, of course she won't talk to me. She just ran away yelling at me. I knew I should of told her the minute I found out. Now I'll miss her even more. I wish there was just a way I could tell her I love her, but she won't listen to me. I guess I have to let her go. I should never have gotten emoitonly attached to her.

A Different Ending

(Courtney is at college, sitting on a bench outside talking to her dad who tells her that he has been cheating on her mom with Jordan's mom for a while now, Jordan comes up to her when she is talking to her dad, and she is angry with him because he didn't tell her sooner.)

"I wanted to tell you Court, but I never found a right time to do it." said Courtney's dad on the phone.
"But how could you cheat on mom, I thought you guys loved each other." But before he could reply, Jordan came and sat next to her on the bench.
"Get away from me right now." yelled Courtney, walking away slowly, tears rolling down her eyes.
"Court, please I ne-"
"No, you could of told me the minute you found out, but you didn't."
"Courtney." said a someone right behind her. She turned around slowly, and there stood her dad closing his cell phone and stepping closer to her.
"I was on my way here the minute you guys left. I didn't want Jordan to harm you in any way, and when he threatned me and told me that if I wouldn't tell you the truth I just called you and made my way over here." said Courtney's dad looked sincerely sorry.
"You little, I didn't do to you anything! Your the one that sneaked around with my mom, and your the one that made me break up with Courtney, and your the one that wouldn't even tell your own family the truth! And I didn't threaten you, I told you either you tell her, or I will." screamed Jordan pointing a finger right into Courtney's dads face.
"Is it true daddy?" asked Courtney crying even harder this time.
Courtney's dad took a deep sigh and fell into the bench.
"Yes it's true. But I only did it to protect you. I didn't want Jordan here to make matters worse and I wanted to be the one to tell you everything, and I wanted to tell you my side of the story." He said to Courtney.
He reached over and took both of Courtney's hands and said "I love you honey, and anything that I did to hurt you, I'm sorry for it. But I know it'll take time to forgive me, and that's okay."
Courtney looked at her dad, and then at Jordan. She pulled her hands away from her dad.
"For now I just need some space and time to think about things. So I'm going back to my dorm and I guess I'll talk to you guys later."
