Prologue
Duncan POV
I'm finally going to tell Courtney how I feel, I'm not going to let her go anymore than I already have. I've already let my best friend date another guy, I won't let her anymore. She'll be mine, forever.
Courtney runs in the cafe, smiling, she grins and tackles me, making me fall towards the wall. I smiled, maybe this won't be as hard as I thought it would. I wrapped my arms around her waist, not wanting this moment to end.
She pulled away too soon. Courtney stuck her hand in my face, the first thing that caught my eye was a big diamond ring.
No... My best friend, who I was going to tell I loved, was getting married. No...
I couldn't help but feel slightly woozy, but it was quickly replaced with anger when I saw Courtney's boyfrie- no, fiance walk in.
She squealed, "Daniel!" She ran over to him, my heart broke a little more, she wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders, her eyes twinkling.
Daniel, or as I like to call him, Danielle, or, Dany, smiled, not hesitating to kiss her. She has no idea I'd like to kiss her like that... my best friend, the only girl I've ever really loved.
My heart broke a little more as they wrapped their arms around each other, they seemed so... happy. And it made me sick.
I faked a smile at them, hoping my pain didn't show. "I'm gonna go for a walk, kay?"
I'm not even sure if they heard what I said, they nodded mutely, and continued staring in each other's eyes.
I quickly ran out of the cafe, how could she marry him? I've loved her even longer than he's even known her. He doesn't know anything about her, my best friend... and now, because of him, that's all we'll ever be...
As soon as I was out of eye-sight I ran, making sure Courtney and Daniel wouldn't see me. Many people stared at me, before I noticed what was going on. I was crying. Me, Duncan Winters, the bad boy, was crying. They stared shocked as tears ran down my face.
I ran farther, so no one could see me, I ran towards the tree, our tree.
My heart constricted, I felt like I couldn't breathe, you know what's worse, it took me this long to figure out I needed to tell her I loved her. And now any chance of her loving me back was almost down to nothing. It was too late.
I figured out I loved Courtney, my princess, about two years ago. The time she started dating Dany.
She walked in my house holding his hand. Right then I figured out we wouldn't get along. He had shaggy blonde hair that hung in his deep blue eyes, his red polo hung perfectly with his baggy blue jeans.
I knew I loved her, but I couldn't tell her now, she's in love with a prep who stole her heart. The only thing I could do was try and get her to break up with Dany, but I wanted her to be happy... with me.
I don't want her to be happy with another man, I want her to be mine, but, at the same time I don't want to hurt her.
"Duncan!" I heard a pair of footsteps behind me. Courtney quickly caught up with me and put her hand on my shoulder, she was panting, "Duncan... What's wrong, y-you're crying?"
I tried to smile at her, failing miserably, "I'm fine, just.. shocked,"
That answer didn't please Court, "But.. you're crying"
I smiled lightly at her, enjoying that she was worried about me, "My best friend's getting married, I'm just shocked... and kinda happy, I'm glad you'll be with the man you love."
She gave me a smile that could light up a whole room, "Good." I raised my eyebrow, "Good?"
"Yeah! I want you to be a groomsman. Daniel agreed also, it'll be perfect! That is... if you agree. Do you?"
What was I supposed to say, I didn't want to say yes, I didn't want to approve the wedding, but if I say no she'll wonder why...
I tried not to show that my heart was breaking, "Sure, it'll be fun."
She wrapped her arms around my waist, I smiled down at her, hugging her back I couldn't help but feel disappointed, because I knew I'd never have a chance with her. I still couldn't help but cherish this moment. I squeezed her a little tighter. I wasn't letting it end so soon, cause it made it easier to forget that she was getting married to another man.
"Ummm... Duncan, you can let go now"
I was so into her hug I didn't notice her trying to pull away. I slowly pulled away, regreting it. I looked at Courtney, she was smiling, so was I but hers was genuine, I couldn't help but feel slightly jealous that I couldn't get over her, but she's never liked me that way.
She smiled lightly, she didn't feel any awkwardness.
Because she doesn't like me like that. It popped in my head when I was walking home, I'll never have a chance with her. I knew that before but it never actually went through.
I love a soon-to-be-married girl.
