Duncan and Courtney – "I Swear I'd Do It All Again For You"

Based on the DxC video I created on YouTube. Enjoy!

Duncan closed the door of the boy's cabin quietly behind him as he walked toward the polluted beaches of Camp Wawanakwa. He sat down at the dock where he first met her, the girl he's been falling head over heels for ever since camp started. It was nighttime, and earlier in the afternoon, him and her had broken up for about the 8th time that month. Duncan reminisced the many nights him and her had hung out there when things got a little crazy back at the cabins…

I couldn't sleep last night
I walked alone on the beach
Where we always used to go
When we couldn't hook up at home…

He thought of her with a smirk, looking at the stars and wondering if she was doing the same, too. Duncan walked through every little detail of the night him and her snuck into Chris and Chef's refrigerator filled with food just waiting for the taking. He had been teaching her to be loose and just enjoy life at camp while she was there, and she had. With him. They ran away with as much food as they could carry, before Chef and Chris could even notice and call the authorities on them. Duncan laughed at the memory.

I thought of you
And the time we jumped the fence
Poolside, stripped down
We dove right in
And the cops chased us again

He sighed, looking off to the muddy lake and the distant ships passing by. Duncan looked at the spot where she'd always sit whenever they went out to the dock.

"Courtney…"

When you were mine
You know...

Duncan had it all planned out. When he looked at her, he saw his future in her eyes. Instead of the contract-filled, frustrating life Courtney was probably expecting, Duncan saw himself as a happy man. Maybe with a family of his own, Courtney being by his side all the time. He saw a bright future. As long as she was with him, Duncan was in love.

But it always had to alter whenever they argued or they just broke up. Like today. It hurt him for most of the time until they decided that they just couldn't keep themselves apart. Duncan just couldn't get enough.

We had it all in front of us
You were the one
I was in love
But you always hurt the one you lost
I couldn't get enough

Courtney was a girl like no other, according to Duncan. She limited his freedom, his affection, and well, mostly everything Duncan was. Many of his friends thought that their relationship wasn't good for him, but he thought otherwise.

"Duncan, you deserve someone way better than her! Someone who would actually treat you right!" Gwen or someone else would say, but he didn't care. He never did. Even if it was worth getting hit "where-the-sun-don't-shine" everytime him and Courtney broke up, Duncan didn't give a crap, and he still doesn't.

You were everything that's bad for me
Make no apologies
I'm crushed, black and blue
But you know I'd do it all again for you

He heard a door shut quietly not too far away. His ears perked up and he turned around to see a figure emerging from the girl's cabin. When this person began to walk toward the shore and walk along it, Duncan immediately recognized the figure. Princess…? He thought.

She was beautiful, and Duncan just couldn't stop staring (nor close his mouth). The little pink night clothes that she wore caught his eye all the time. He couldn't help but check her out. How is a person like me lucky enough to even take a glance at her? Duncan would sometimes think. He knew he was way beyond her league, but he never gave it up.

Today, dressed up in designer drugs
Dedicated to the one I'll always love
The one who really messed me up

Courtney was still walking along the shoreline, but away from the dock, or where he was. When her silhouette was beginning to be too distant that squinting wasn't good enough, Duncan shot up worriedly and searched in her direction. But soon enough, she turned around and her figure was getting clearer and clearer until she was just close enough to see perfectly. Duncan sighed and slumped back down on his spot. Why does she always get the best of me? He wiped the sweat from his brow, put his head in his hands, and exhausted loudly.

"Duncan?" a nearby voice asked.

I let you take the wheel
And the driver's seat
Strapped in so you'd get the best of me
Now what's left are the memories

At that moment, Duncan ran through all the memories they had ever since they got back together at least a week ago, before they broke up today. Should I risk it? He asked quickly. Ah, what do I have to lose anyway? "Princess!" He sat up so she could see him. All he saw was her rolling her eyes at him with a smile, which he missed.

When you were mine
You know...

She walked onto the dock and actually sat down where she always used to sit, which surprised Duncan, who thought that she would walk off on him like she'd been doing throughout the whole day. Duncan wanted to let his feelings get the best of him and pull her into a bear hug and just hold her, but he held himself back. Even though it's only been about 8 hours ever since she walked out, God, I've missed her.

"So," he continued. "What're you doing at this hour? If you're here to come begging for me to come back, then it's not gonna work!" Duncan teased.

We had it all in front of us
You were the one
I was in love
But you always hurt the one you lost
I couldn't get enough

"Really?" Courtney practically screamed, standing back up. "I thought we were just gonna have a normal conversation, but I guess that isn't enough for us either, right?" Thunder rolled through the dark clouds, now covering the starlit sky, mirroring Courtney's mood. It's gonna rain anyway, Courtney thought, I should just go…

She began to walk away, but Duncan grabbed her arm and pulled her back down to her. "Sorry! Sorry! Shh…" he responded quickly, "Please, just… sit for a while… like we used to…"

Wow, Courtney thought, He actually said "Please"…Hmm… Maybe I'll just stay for a second… She sighed and looked at him with tired eyes. "Duncan, what do you want?"

You were everything that's bad for me
Make no apologies
I'm crushed, black and blue
But you know I'd do it all again
I am for you

Suddenly, it began to pour, catching Courtney by surprise. She gasped, shot back up, and began to run for cover. Duncan reacted quickly and chased after her, catching her within nanoseconds. "Wait! I need to tell you something!" He pleaded, holding her tightly in his arms.

"Duncan, it's pouring! Can't we just talk tomorrow or something? We're gonna get sick!" She tried to pull away, covering her head.

"No, now! It's either tonight or never! Because if I won't get out what I have to say right now, I've got nowhere else to go!" Duncan told her firmly. Courtney stopped struggling and looked into his eyes, finally ignoring the rain.

Standing in the ocean rain
Rough and ready for your deadly game
I've got nowhere else to go

"I don't care if we keep breaking up and breaking down and making up again! As long as you're by my side, I just can't care. Because no matter what, I'm in love with you." Duncan said, staring right back at her. "I'd do it all again—coming to the island, reenacting all our fights, the challenges, falling in love, getting together, breaking up, making up—for you."

We had it all in front of us
You were the one
I was in love
But you always hurt the one you lost
I couldn't get enough

Courtney was speechless. Of all the relationships she'd ever been in, she never heard anything as simple and heartfelt as that. She couldn't care anymore if her being with Duncan was bad for her health or made a bad mark on her permanent record! She just didn't give a crap, because she'd do it all again for him, too. There was just one thing left to do…

You were everything that's bad for me
Make no apologies
I'm crushed, black and blue

"And another thi—" Courtney cut off Duncan with her lips. They were kissing, in the rain, on the dock. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he held her like she was all he had to hold onto. Because, well, she is. Out of the many kisses they had shared over the past season through lust and desire at random times, they really meant it this time. At the moment, they didn't think that they'd be breaking up for a while, because they knew that they were worth the fights and challenges of being together. It was very well worth it.

But you know I'd do it all again for you
I swear I'd do it all again for you…
