I don't own TDI/TDA (but i wish i did)

I kno I haven't been here in a while so anyways here is a short one shot about Gwen's crappy day and how Duncan was there to cheer her up. It's a bit random in parts cause I had nothing else to put...


Across Ducan's drive way there stood a petite girl. She wore an oversized Children of Bodom hoodie with the hood pulled over her head, and a pair of old faded out skinny jeans. She dug the tips of her black grass stained converse into damp dirt on her lawn. It was slightly drizzling outside right now. Her hands were stuffed into her pockets and her head was hung down. Although he couldn't quit see her face, Duncan knew exactly who she was. She was his neighbour, his first girl friend, and most importantly his best friend. He knew her all too well through her body gestures that the expression worn on her face would be a sad one.

She suddenly looked up from her shoes for the first time and spotted him. Her thick eyeliner was smudged by her trickling tears, and when her eyes met his gaze, her teal lips curved a tiny smile. She porcelian fingers motioned for him to come outside. Quickly he walked away from his window and down the set wooden stairs, swiftly pulling on his red high-top cuck taylors, he stepped out his door.

He made his way across the street taking large strides. The rain was splattering down by now. He shuffled through the wet grass on her lawn with a small smirk plastered on his face. He would be the one to attempt to turn her failing day around.

"Gwen, it's rainning outside, you should probably go inside now. You could even come over if you'd like."

"I know, I'll be fine out here though," She said as she put on her most convincing face. "It's just that he...I...nevermind..."

"Gwen, look at me, there is obviously something wrong," He said as he grasped her delicated hands, breaking her charade. "You never cry, except for when ur heart is broken." He said in a mocking tone.

"I broke..." She mummbled as she slowly slid her hands out of his inorder to wipe away the salty tears that she had freshly shed.

"I'm here to listen, tell me everyting, everything that went wrong," His voice full of understandment.

"I...I broke his he...heart, and that made me beak mine..." She whispered softly. "Now I feel like the bitch...the really selfish one..."

He cuckled slightly at her answer and at the way she choked on her tears as she spoke, and then patted her back lightly trying to comfort her.

"You know what Gwen, your really stuborn, maybe you should try not to take things out on yourself, I'm pretty sure it was all an ancident."

"Maybe..." The goth sighed as she wipped the last of her tears away from her dark eyes.

Then the both of them remained queit again. Gwen led Duncan to the bottom step of her porch, where they both sat to take cover from the rain. By then the rain was heavey and crashing down. The only sound heard was the splish splash caused by the rain. The silence remained for a while with both of them staring blankly as they watched the rain fall. Gwen cauciously turned to face Duncan.

"Duncan, you know you almost seemed sweet back there, trying to help..." Gwen said sinckering the slightest bit.

"Hey, who said I was never not caring, I just don't show that soft side much ya know?"He replied, his teal blue eyes looking down at her.

"But now I know that the bad ass sitting next to me actually has a softie woftie heart." She said and giggled a little.

"What was that, did I just here the grimmest girl let out a laugh?" Duncan joked.

"And who said I wasn't allowed to." She spoke with sarcasm.

"Well I see now that my lame attempt at cheering you up has worked, I'm I right?"

"Well yeah...but, I'm..."

"Come on Gwen, we'll go to my house, slay some zombies, and watch Mirrors, I know it's your favorite movie!" He suggeted as he tugged at her wrist and pulled her onto her feet.

"Alright, alright...I guess a bloody movie would help shake thoughts of him away." She forged a smile.

A small vibration came from the left pocket of her jacket.

"Hold on Duncan, one moment."

She frowned a little and reached into her pocket for her black phone that she had dropped countless times. It was dented all over but still worked quite fine. Her screen flashed to show that there was a new message waiting for her to read. It was from Trent.

I'm srry, please forgive me Gwen.

She tilted her a head a bit, and texted back.

I'm srry too...I 4give ya...

Duncan stood over her shoulder looking at what she was up too. Seeing that she and Trent had worked their problems out, he was happy.

"Let's go Duncan. Let's go slay those zombies now, come on let's not waste anymore time!" Gwen shouted as she pulled his arm with force.

The rain came to a stop and the two linked arms and head across the street to Duncan's house.


Please R&R. Tell me if it was crappy, really crappy, or good....=}
