Eventually

Summary: Maybe, he thought, she'd forgive him eventually. Then again… maybe not. Duncan/Courtney, implied Duncan/Gwen. If you like Duncan in pain, you're gonna love this.

Duncan put a hand on the door knob. It was warm, friendly, inviting.

What lay inside, he guessed, couldn't be at all friendly.

~/*\~

Gwen touched Duncan's arm. "I…" she tried to smile. "I'm glad you understand."

She kissed his cheek but Duncan couldn't utter a word. His scowl remained stiff.

~/*\~

Say whatever you want about Courtney. But Duncan was sure she would never do that.

~/*\~

Gwen had given up on him.

After a year.

ONE year.

One, wasted year.

~/*\~

What could he have expected? Gwen deserved better than him, of course she did, she knew it, he knew it, of course, of course…

~/*\~

Why had he ever left her? She was as horrible as he was.

What made him fall out of love with her?

~/*\~

Maybe he never did.

~/*\~

Maybe he had fallen so hard for Gwen, he couldn't understand how much he still loved Courtney.

Hadn't he claimed he was over her?

Had he lied?

~/*\~

Four years later from hurting Courtney.

~/*\~

Three years later from losing Gwen.

~/*\~

He was sure that karma was not much of a fan of his, so therefore, he wasn't expecting anything kind. He of course, wasn't expecting what he got.

~/*\~

He knocked on the door. It slipped open, and there she was, in her lovely way.

"Hi!" She smiled, "I…"

She looked at him with wide eyes.

~/*\~

Duncan's imagination #1:

Courtney started to kiss him passionately. They hurriedly rushed into the house, to the bedroom and had HOT. ANGRY. MAKE-UP sex. (AKA: the best kind)

That one was his favorite.

~/*\~

#2:

He'd say sorry and they'd start again. She would fall for him again, just like the first time, he'd catch her in her own web, just like the first time, just like the first time.

~/*\~

#3:

She'd cry, beg for him to come back, and he would smirk and cockily accept her plea. This resulted in another of the first one, with hot make-up sex.

~/*\~

REALITY:

"Get the fuck off my property, you cock-sucking sonofabitch." She pushed him so hard that he stumbled to regain his balance.

He raised an eyebrow at her, steadying himself. "What the hell's the matter with you? I just-"

~/*\~

And then she did something crazy.

Courtney grabbed Duncan's eyebrow ring.

She got a crazy look in her eye.

~/*\~

"!"

~/*\~

She swiftly ripped out his eyebrow ring.

~/*\~

Duncan felt tears in his eyes. He could feel the whole side of his face ache in pain. He put a hand up to the new wound, and it was sticky and wet.

Blood.

~/*\~

He thought she'd forgive him eventually.

~/*\~

She spit in his face, slamming the door shut.

Then again…

Maybe not.

~/*\~

A/N: I don't know about you, but this is one of my favorites! Sorry for everything being all separated like that, at first I didn't like it, but I love how this turned out.

I know some of you thought she'd forgive him right? Well, I like this ending much better. XD

:D Thanks for reading!
