This is my very first TDI fanfic ever! I hope you guys like it. Writing is my passion so I decided to start writing fanfics so I can see how I'm doing. Criticism is welcome. I'm always interesting in knowing what I am doing wrong so I can improve. D&G is my favoring pairing in TDI so I decided to write my story based on that.

December 19, 2001
A little 8 year old girl sat in her room all alone on a cold December day. In the other room she could hear the sound of her parents arguing. She had gotten use to the constant screaming that occurred almost every day between the two. Sometimes she wished her parents would just separate and get it over with already.
Deep in her thoughts the little girl didn't notice the little boy sneaking into her opened window.
"When are you gonna learn to close this thing so nobody can sneak in while you're sleeping, Gwen?"
Gwen looked up and saw a charming little boy standing in front of her window. He had this evil smirk on his face that made him look, well, evil.
"I guess I'll have to start remembering so escaped convicts like you can't sneak in" said Gwen.
"Ha Ha! You're so funny I forgot to laugh" spat the little boy.
Duncan and Gwen had been best friends ever since the day they met when they were five. They had been inseparable ever since. Duncan was always there holding her when she became the center of her parents hatred towards one another. Duncan was her hero. She knew she wouldn't be able to live if he were to be taken away from her. He was her rock.
Duncan stopped to listen to the shouting coming from the other room.
"Dang, they going at it again?" he asked
Gwen nodded and suddenly became teary eyed. Yeah, she was use to the fighting, but that didn't stop her from wishing it would stop, and her parents would love each other again so they could continue being a family.
Before Gwen could turn around to wipe away her tears, Duncan was holding her. She fell into him, sobbing uncontrollably. Duncan stroked her hair and whispered words of comfort to the little girl. He knew what she was going through since his parents had separated last year.
The two children stayed that way for 30 minutes, then Duncan suddenly remembered what he had came to tell Gwen in the first place.
Duncan pulled away. In his eyes Gwen could see regret and sadness. Her heart sank. She knew the look could not be good.
"What's wrong, Duncky?" Gwen asked.
Duncan didn't respond. His eyes filled with tears.
"Dammit, Duncan! I asked you a question. What's the matter?" she asked again.
Duncan's head dropped. Gwen saw a tear drop to the floor.
"I'm leaving, Gwen" Duncan said, finally.
"What?" Gwen asked, shaking her head in disbelief.
"My mom wants to take me far away from my dad. She wants us to be able to start over in a new place. In Rhode Island" He said.
"Rhode Island? But that's like a million miles away" Gwen said.
"I know. The reason I came over here was to tell you 'good bye'" Duncan said.
"When are you leaving?" asked Gwen.
"In the morning" said Duncan.
"Why are you just now telling me?" she asked.
"Because I wasn't ready for your reaction. I don't wanna leave Gwen. I wanna stay. With you" he said as tears began to stream down his cheek.
Gwen turned and walked to the desk in her room. She pulled out a piece of paper and started writing. When Duncan tried to see what it was she was writing, she pulled away. When she was done she ran out of her room and returned with a purple envelope. She put the letter in the envelope and wrote Duncan's name on it. She handed Duncan the envelope.
"Don't open in until you get fully moved in to your new home in Rhode Island" she said.
"Why? What is it?" Duncan asked.
"Just promise you won't open it until then" she demanded.
"Okay, I promise" Duncan said.
Duncan reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace. It was silver and on the end of the chain there was a silver heart locket. He handed the necklace to Gwen. Inside the locket there was a picture of her and Duncan hugging each other and smiling. Gwen started crying and hugged Duncan.
"Promise you won't ever take this off" he said.
"I promise, Duncky. I love you" Gwen said.
"I love you too, Gwenny. We'll see each other again I promise" Duncan said.
"Best friends forever right?" Gwen asked.
"Best friends forever."
With that Duncan turned away and climbed out of Gwen's window. When he got to the ground, he fell to his knees. Tears over whelmed him.
How was he going to live without his best friend?
I really hope you liked it! I'll try to have another chapter up soon. R&R!
