A/N: Not a big fan of DxC, but I had this idea and I wanted to write it. So there.
Mentions JustinxCourtney. A couple I like way more than this one. :P Duncan may or may not be OOC.
Lyrics are from Whatsername by Green Day.
{thought i ran into you down on the street}
Duncan was walking home when he saw her again. A familiar girl with brown hair, a gray shirt, olive-green leggings.
He wanted to call out to her, but her name wouldn't come to mind.
{but it turned out to only be a dream}
Duncan's eyes shot open, and he found himself lying in bed. He sighed.
"A dream," he muttered. "It was just a dream."
{i made a point to burn all of the photographs}
He sat up, thinking of her. He thought of the pictures they'd taken, the pictures he'd burned when it was over. The pictures were reduced to ash. He wondered if she'd done the same.
{she went away and then i took a different path}
After Total Drama Island, their relationship didn't last long. Her parents disapproved. Duncan never called. She never called. And eventually, they broke up.
They both saw it coming. Duncan wasn't thrilled at first, but he got over it.
{i remember the face but i can't recall the name|now i wonder how whatsername has been}
But he still thought of her. The girl with the mocha skin. The name he couldn't remember.
He often wondered if her life had turned out the way she'd wanted it to. He wondered how she was doing without him.
{seems that she disappeared without a trace}
After the breakup, he never heard from her again. This wasn't unexpected; rarely did his other ex-girlfriends contact him. But he never heard of her again.
She was a celebrity. Surely he would hear about her somewhere? But he didn't. She didn't show up in stupid teen magazines or newspapers. The last time he'd seen her in a magazine was when Star Stalker had written an article about their breakup.
{did she ever marry old whatshisface?}
Duncan thought about the other guy who'd liked her. A model, also tan, with a green shirt, jeans and a necklace. Did they hook up? Probably not. He would have heard of it somewhere.
{i made a point to burn all of the photographs}
Duncan dragged himself out of bed. He figured he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep now.
He turned on his computer, a ten-year-old technological beast. He decided to go through all his files for no reason other than to occupy his mind. He needed to forget the girl.
He found a picture of her, a picture he had forgotten to burn. He deleted it. He didn't need to see those eyes again.
{she went away and then i took a different path}
She had probably forgotten all about him. He could look her up online, find her, see how she was doing. But that was a stalkerish sort of thing to do. It was unnecessary.
{i remember the face but i can't recall the name}
Besides, he'd need a name. A name he can't remember.
{now i wonder how whatsername has been}
"I need to forget about her," he said to himself. It wasn't like him to cling to memories like this.
{remember whatever}
Anyway, it wasn't like he missed her. He didn't miss her, he didn't need her.
{it seems like forever ago}
"That was years ago," Duncan reminded himself.
{remember whatever|it seems like forever ago}
"That was then. This is now." He willed himself to forget. He shut off his computer and laid back down, hoping to sleep. Hoping to forget her.
{the regrets are useless in my mind}
He didn't regret what they had. Not at all. He just didn't need to remember it.
{she's in my head}
He shook his head, as if to shake her image from his brain. But it didn't work.
{i must confess}
Maybe he couldn't forget because he loved her?
{the regrets are useless in my mind}
He couldn't regret it. There's no point in regretting what you can't change.
He wasn't sure if he loved her, but it didn't matter. She was gone. He was okay with that.
{she's in my head from so long ago}
He thought back to the first time they'd kissed. They had just stolen food from Chris and Chef. She had vomited from overeating after living through weeks of eating crap. She kissed him shortly after. Gross, but hey, at least she'd finally admitted her feelings for him.
That was five years ago.
{and in the darkest night}
Duncan closed his eyes, now trying to get to sleep.
{if my memory serves me right}
No use in remembering now. He needed to get some rest.
{i'll never turn back time}
He'll never change anything. But that's okay. No regrets here.
{forgetting you, but not the time}
Little did he know that Courtney remembered him too.
A/N: Okaaaaay. Not the best ending, but whatever. It works. I could write a sequel if I wanted too.
