TDI LIFE

Chapter 1

Duncan's Point of View (DPOV)

I had just got off the boat after that dreadful show. I can't believe I signed up for that. The food was YUCK! The bathrooms were nasty. The cabins were small.

There was one good thing about it though. Princess. Ah how I adored her. She had beautiful brown hair, down to her shoulders. She also had onyx eyes and tanned, dark, smooth skin.

But now that's over and I get to go home. I get to see my old friends Alex, Tre, Andrew, and Fire. Fire is the only girl in the group. We don't even know her full name because she tells us to call her Fire, she tells the teachers ahead of time to change her name on the lists and she thinks Fire is a good name for her because we're all punks. Also my brother, Matt, hangs out with us a lot.

Matt is my twin brother. He's not my only brother (or sibling for that matter). We have 4 brothers, Aaron, 21, Zach, 20, Brayden, 18, and Robbi, 17.

Fire, for some reason, hangs out around Robbi and his friends sometimes.

I was so wound up in my own thoughts that I didn't feel the bus stop. We were at my house.

My house is pretty big. We have a pool, granite countertops, and 6 dogs. Just about everyone was has a dog besides me.

My room is big. I have a walk-in closet, my own bathroom, and a balcony. It's like this because our parents are cops.

That's the odd thing. Brayden, Robbi, and I are punks. Aaron and Zach aren't. They are going to college. Aaron wants to be a cop and Zach wants to be a doctor.

When I get off the bus I see my parents, my brothers and sister, and my friends.

"Oh sweetie, we missed you," said my mom, Erica.

My mom has teal eyes like me but has blonde hair. My dad has (or had) black hair like I do now. Everyone thinks Matt and I have black hair naturally. The truth is we don't. We have blonde hair like mom.

"Hello son," said Dad.

"Hi," I said. Me and my dad don't get along.

"Hey bro," said my brothers at the same time.

"Wass up?" said Alex and Andrew. They are actually cousins.

"Not much."

"Long time, no talk," said Tre. Tre and Fire are really twins.

"Don't you guys think you should let Duncan get unpacked?" said Mom.

"Yeah, we gotta get going. BYE!" said Alex and Andrew.

"Come on sis, we have to go. My show's almost on and it's almost time for dinner. Bye," said Tre to Fire.

"In a minute. I need to talk to Duncan," said Fire nervously. That was the first thing she has said all evening.

"OK. I'll be in the car."

With Aaron and Zach going back to college, Brayden on a date (shocker), Matt at Alex and Andrew's place for the night, Mom and Dad at the station, Tre waiting in Fire's car, and Emily at her friend's, Kalle and Megan, place, it's only Robbi, Fire, and me.

I know what this is about.

"It's that time of the year again," said Fire, holding the camera.

"Why can't you just bring them here," I said.

"BECAUSE!" said Fire angrily.

"You know that's not a bad idea. He hasn't seen them in 4 years," said Robbi calmly.

"I don't want anyone to know about them," said Fire.

Four years ago we went to a party. Now I'm a father of twins. I got to name the older one. I named her Fayette. But her nickname is Faye.

Fire named the younger one Skylar. Skye for short. The last picture I saw of them was last year. I actually have 2. 1 in my trapper for school and 1 in my nightstand.

In the picture's Faye has black hair like her mom but blonde tinted. She has teal eyes like Fire and me. She is wearing a bright pink shirt with a white-ish pink long sleeved shirt underneath.

Skye has black hair with a few blonde strips. She has teal eyes. She is wearing a black shirt that has a white skull on the front with a white long sleeved shirt underneath.

Fire told me that Skye acts a lot like me. She also told me that Faye is basically the exact opposite of both of us.

"Yeah, I deserve to see them," I said.

"Fine, I'll bring them back on my next trip there," said Fire.

Fire's Point Of View (FPOV)

"Oh, and before I forget, you'll see some people from the island at school next week," I said.

"Really? Who?" said Duncan.

"Trent, Dj, Geoff, Bridgette. Basically everyone from the island except Ezekiel, Noah, Lindsay, Tyler, Beth, Justin, Owen, Katie, Sadie, Eva, Harold, and Leshawna." I said.

"Cool. What about Courtney?" said Duncan.

"Umm, she's can't come," I said nervously.

On the phone.

"Hey Court," I said into the phone.

"Hey Sapphire," she said back.

"What did I say about calling me that?" I said.

"Why can't I call you by your real name?"

"Because. I could have been on speaker."

"Fine. I'm at the airport now."

"OK, I'll be there in half an hour."

At the airport

"There you are. Wow you look exactly like Duncan described you." I said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Come on. My car's outside."

At Sapphire's house

"So this is your room," I said

"Cool," said Court.

"Dinner will be done soon. You should get unpacked."

30 minutes later

"It's done," I said.

"OK," said Court.

"We're having spaghetti tonight."

"Yummy."

"Tell me about your family," I said.

"Well, my mom and dad met when they were 14 and then they had me two years later. They had my sister when they were 20. I was 4 at the time. They named her Maria Lillian Newsom. Two years after her they had my other sister. Chloe Alisha Newsom is her name. A year later they had my brother Erin James Newsom. My parents got divorced shortly after that. My mom found out my dad was cheating on her. I haven't seen him since. So tell me about your family."

"My parents met when they were 10. They got married when they were 18. I have 7 brothers. Cole, 20, Reagin, 19, Kyle, 18, Mitch, 17, Jared, 12, and Brandon, 9-"

"I thought you said you have 7 brothers? That was only 6."

"I know. I'm actually a triplet. There is Tre, who is in the middle, me, Sapphire Elizabeth Coleman, and our sister, Jade Amethyst Coleman."

"Amethyst?"

"Yeah. Mom's not that good with names. Anyways, dad doesn't know about Jade. So if you ever meet him don't bring up her name. Cole is going to college right now and so is Reagin. Kyle goes to college in about 5 months. Cole wants to be a pilot. Reagin wants to be a marine biologist. I call it a fish expert. Kyle says he is going to learn to be a cop. The only brothers of mine that really know who I am are Mitch and Brandon."

"Don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Yeah, but you can't tell Duncan. Promise?"

"Promise."

"Ok. His name is Matt. He's actually Duncan's twin brother. He is so cute. He has that jet black hair but with a blue Mohawk."

"Cool," she said with a sad look.

"You know, I think you need a makeover."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Come on."

"This is your room?"

"Yeah."

"It's so big."

"I know. Ok you just sit here."

About an hour later I had Courtney's hair done. I finally convinced her to let me die it black.

"Ok. I have to go the store and get some hair dye. For both of us," I said.

"OK."

"Ok. What color should I get? I got red for me. I wonder if I should get Matt and Duncan dye too. Ok I'll get them dye too and drop it off at their house later. Now, what should I get for Courtney? Oh! I know. I'll get her lavender."

"Courtney! I'm back."

"Ok."

30 minutes later

"Ok. Now you're done."

Courtney now had jet black hair with lavender streaks. She also wore the black shirt with the white skull. She had plum converse. I had given her a dark blue denim skirt with black leggings underneath. The leggings have white skulls all over them. Her hair now covered one of her eyes.

"Ok, we have to get going now."

"Were?"

"We're going bowling with my friends."

"Oh."

"Don't worry. They'll be nice to you. I promise."

45 minutes later

"Here we are."

"Ok. This is Alex."

"Hi. I'm Alex. Like she said. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

"This is his cousin Andrew."

"Hey."

"This is my brother Tre."

"How come you two don't live together?" asked Courtney.

"I don't really know."

"This is Matt."

"Hi."

"And this is Robbi."

"Hey. Fires' told me a lot about you."

"Where's Duncan?"

"Who said my name?" said Duncan, "Oh. Who do we have here?"

"Duncan, she's new. Don't bother her."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

Courtney's Point of View (CPOV)

At that moment I heard his voice I just wanted to run to him and kiss him and tell him how much I missed him. But I couldn't. I had to be a stranger to him.

Of course he still looked the same. Same old teal eyes. Same old piercings. Same old bright green Mohawk. Same old skull shirt and red converse.

"Hello? Princess?" I heard him say.

"What's wrong with her?" I heard him whisper to someone.

"Nothing." I said quickly.

"So what's your name?"

"Her name is Megan." Fire said.

"Cool. It's good to finally have another girl in the group."

"Yeah," I said.

"OK let's get our shoes," said Fire.

30 minutes later

"WOW! You got 5 strikes in a row," said Duncan.

"I've always been good at bowling," I said.

"Hey guys? It's getting late. We better go," Fire said.

"Hey Megan? Were you staying?"

"With Fire."

"Do you have a cell phone?"

"Yeah."

"Well here's my number," he said with a wink.

"Bye guys," said Fire.

"Hey can you drive me home? Matt's going over to Alex and Andrew's place. We actually came here with them," Duncan said.

FPOV

"Ok. But you have to sit in the back," I said.

"K. Bye guys."

"Hey Megan want to hear Duncan sing?"

"OK."

"Oh no. Not that song."

"Yes that song. It's something you and Duncan can sing together."

"Ok Duncan get ready."

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought

Hey you know this could be something…

Cuz everything you do and words you say

You know that it takes my breath away

And now I'm left with nothing…

So maybe it's true…

That I can't live without you...

And maybe two is better than one

But there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life

And you've already got me coming undone...

And I'm thinking two is better than one...

I remember every look upon your face

The way you roll your eyes

The way you taste…

You make it hard for breathing…

Cuz when I close my eyes and drift away

I think of you and everything's ok

I'm finally now believing…

That maybe it's true

That I can't live without you

And maybe two is better than one

But there's so much time to

Figure out the rest of my life

And you've already got me coming undone…

And I'm thinking two is better than one…

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought Hey…

Maybe it's true

That I can't live without you

And maybe two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

And you've already got me coming undone…

And I'm thinking, ooh

I can't live without you

Cuz baby

Two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

But I figured out

With all that's said and done

Two is better than one

"WOW. You guys should do the talent show together."

"No way will you get me anywhere near that lame excuse of entertainment," he said.

"Why? I think it might be a good idea," Courtney said.

"I'm a horrible singer."

"No your not."

"Look Princess, I'm not a singer. Never have never will," he said looking her directly in the eye.

"Ok. We're almost to your house Dunc."

"Hey. You know Megan looks really familiar?"

"What do you mean?"
