The Last Fight

Chapter 2

Duncan's POV

I slowly open my eyes and looked on the other side of the bed to not see Gwen. I got out of bed, hangover completely gone, and walked to our bathroom door and opened it. No Gwen. I walked out of our bedroom to the small living room to see Gwen painting the broken vase and dying rose. She was only wearing her black sweat, and black tank top. Her hair was in a messy bun, and she was listening to her black Iphone. She was facing the wall so she couldn't see or hear me. I walked up behind her ready to give her a hug from behind when she turned around glaring at me as he took her headphones out.

"So how was your fun night?" She asked with venom in her voice. Not in the mood for fighting I simply answered.

"It doesn't matter. All that matters is that I'm here so we can just hang out." I said as I put my hand around her waist, and started giving her butterfly kisses on her neck. She pulled away glaring harder than she was before.

"Don't try to get out of this Duncan. We're going to talking about this, NOW." She yelled.

"What is there to talk about? YOU didn't want to hang out, so I went with the guys and things got out of control! Maybe if you decide to stay home with me, instead of going to some lame ass art show this wouldn't have happened!" I yelled getting mad.

"So, you're putting this all on ME?!" she yelled putting her hand up to her chest, with a shock and angry expression.

"I'm not putting this on anyone! I'm just fucking saying that if we hung out more like we use to then maybe this shit wouldn't be happening!" I yelled at her. She just glared at me, while I glared back. After glaring at each other for about 5 minutes Gwen finally said something.

"So you called Courtney? What did you say to her? She sounded pretty pissed when she called yesterday. You must have been on some hard shit to call her." Gwen said smirking when my face went grim. Courtney called her? God what fuck did I say?

"What did she say?" I asked glaring at Gwen.

"Nothing really." She said smirking as she walked around me. Gwen really does now how to piss a person off. I grabbed her by the arm and pull her in front of me looking her right in the eyes. I all could see in her eyes was hate. She hated Courtney with all her mite, she's part of the reason we stopped our friendship when we were 19.

"What did she say?" I demanded from Gwen. Gwen snatched her arm out of my grip, and walked back to her paint grabbing her paint brush, and started painting again.

"I thought you wanted nothing to do with her, remember what you said 3 years ago. " Gwen said looking over her shoulder at me. I continued to glare at her. "Do you know you call her every time you get stone or drunk? Or that you been telling every little thing that crosses your mind at the time, which, let just say… isn't the right things you want to say to you ex-best friend that hates your guts." She turned around smirking. I was really getting tired of this game Gwen was playing. I walked over to her and grabbed both her shoulder and pinning her to the wall.

"Gwen I'm getting tired of all of these little fucking games. Just tell me what the hell she said on the phone." I yelled finally snapping. Gwen just spat in my face. Nasty bitch. I pushed her back against the wall and dropped her walking back in our room. I heard her fall, then footsteps behind me.

"I want you out of my apartment." She said shooting draggers at me.

"I was already leaving." I growled grabbing my cell phone, keys, and most of Gwen money laying on the floor, and dresser. I shoved past her and slammed the front door shut. Gwen opened the door, and yelled at me

"I hope you go to hell Duncan! Someone needs to put you in your place!" After that I heard her mumble "like your father" then slam the door shut. I shrugged it off not caring about Gwen. I got in my car, and sat there, thinking. What the hell is wrong with me? After a couple of minutes my phone started to ring, I picked it up hoping it wasn't Hope. It wasn't, it was Geoff.

"Hey Geoff." I said into the phone as I answered.

"Duncan, my man. What are you doing tonight?" Geoff asked overly happy.

"Nothing man. Why? What's up?" I asked.

"Well I'm having a party tonight, and wanted you to come. I haven't seen you since my last party, last month." He said

"Sure I'll come, but Geoff do you mind if I stay at your house for a couple of days?" I asked over the phone, knowing he would say yes.

"Sure man, but why?" he asked

"Gwen and I had a fight and I don't feel like seeing her for a couple of days." I told Geoff.

"Well you can come over now if you like nobody is here, and I was just about to take a hit when I finish calling everyone. " Geoff said, I could tell he was smiling. This also made me smirk.

"Sure man, I'm on my way." I said as I hung up and started my car. Geoff was always a good friend to me. We have known each other since 9th grade. He was the one to introduce me to Gwen. During high school we practically owned the school. We had the sickest party, and had just about every girl at our feet. When school ended Geoff went on to college in the states, and would come back during the summer. Believe it or not, but Geoff is a smart guy. He figured out that I was having problem at home all on his own without any hints. It was cool to have him around to hang out and junk, it still is.

20 minutes later I made it to Geoff's side of town. He lived on the rich side of town, in his dad's old house that he gave to Geoff as a Graduation present. I soon pulled up to Geoff's 2 story mansion, and parked in his long driveway before walking to the door. I rang the doorbell and waited a minute before Geoff came down and opened the door. He was on the phone, but still managed to say hey. I walked in and looked around, the same since his dad gave him it. I walked into Geoff's living room and sat on the couch in front of the TV, turning it on to MTV. I was watching some stupid show when Geoff came into the room hold a bag of weed, smiling.

"Dude, it's been for ever since I seen you." Geoff said sitting next to me on the couch putting the weed on the coffee table in front of the couch.

"Yeah, I know I kind of been busy, you know Gwen, and the band thing." I said to Geoff.

"Dude, I totally forgot you had a band. I should call them and invite them to the party, man." Geoff said grabbing his phone out of his pocket, but before he even went to his contacts I stopped him.

"Nah, man. I don't want to see them here tonight. " I said. Geoff nodded and put his phone down then started to roll up the weed. I started to roll up my own.

"So what you been up to Geoff?" I asked as I finished rolling my joint up, and lighting it. Geoff did the same before answering it.

"Nothing really. School sucks, but I did met this band. They are the shit man. I invited them here to play tonight for awhile." Geoff said smoking his joint. He looked at his phone again.

"Dude it's 1:28 the party is starting at 8. We can smoke this whole bag if we want." Geoff said, smiling.

"Dude I think I'll be good after this. I'm not really up to getting stoned tonight, maybe later." I said to Geoff. He nodded. After 2 hours the bag was almost gone. Geoff and I had been catching up. I learned that he has his eyes on some girl he met at college, and that he change his classes at college to match this little crush. Geoff was rolling up his 4 joint, when his phone rang. He answered it; having nothing to do I just listened.

"Hey bruh! ….Where are you at?... Do you need a ride over here, I can come get you?...Are you sure?... Oh really! Why didn't you just say that bro? We can hang out sometime then. ... Okay the party starts at 8. … Sure you can come over early to set up, do you know where I live? … Okay 4732 Sterling Lane. … Okay later bro." Then he hung up, he looked at me and smiled again. I looked at him with a crazy expression.

"Dude that was the band, and they're already here in Toronto. And I didn't even know that the lead lives here. We could have been hanging all this time!" he yelled.

"Well, I really don't know what to say Geoff." I reply honestly. Geoff didn't look phased.

"Dude, you should be happy. This is an awesome band, you guys could do a song together and it would be an instant hit. And did I forget to mention that the band girls are hot." Geoff said throwing his hand ups in the air.

"Dude, I thought you had your eyes on that college girl?" I said rolling my eyes.

"Dude, its Bridgette. And she is totally cool with the band. She is like the lead's best friend. So I don't think she would care if I said her friends were hot. She should take that as a complement." Geoff said. I just smirked, Geoff was so clueless when it came to girls. If he actually said that in front of this Bridgette, she would be gone like that.

"Whatever, man." I yawned, and then looked down at my watch. 4:02.

"Geoff I'm going to take a nap before the party, I want to be awake for this. Geoff nodded then rolled up another joint, and started smoking it. I shook my head as I walked upstairs to the guest room I took as my room years ago. In there was all of my things I left here the last time I stayed over. There were pictures, Geoff's old laptop he gave to me, a TV, and some clothes all over the floor. I sighed oddly feeling at home, and jumped on the bed, put my hands behind my head closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Flashback (I highly recommend that while reading this flashback to listen to thriving ivory – Angels on the moon on repeat :)

I jumped on my bed and took a deep breath. I had just finished moving all my things to my Kevin's old room. When Dallas moved out, Kevin took his room. Now Kevin is gone, and my room became a small game room with all the game consoles and two computers. My new room was a lot bigger than my other one, and cooler. My mom let me paint my room green, and even spray paint the wall with whatever I felt like. All my furniture was dark oak, with cravings in it. This was the perfect room for me, and I loved it. I started reaching for my pocket knife that was on my night stand when my mom came in my room and looked at all of my hard work.

"I must say Duncan, you did a great job making this room like you." She said as she walked over to my bed and sat down. I just smirked then nodded as I looked at my room again. Then my mom spoke again.

"Just between me and you, I like this room like this. Kevin has no sense in style. He's just like your dad." My mom smirk at me, she says that I get my attitude, eyes, and smirk from her. She got up and started walking to the door, but before she left she turn around.

"Duncan, you should go to Courtney's. It's already June and you haven't seen her since school ended. Go do something with her." She said before walking out of my room. I haven't seen Courtney in awhile. The last thing we did was eat the rest of my 13th birthday candy, which was a lot. I sighed, then went to my dresser and looked at myself. My hair was in a small faux hawk and I had only one piercing in my left ear. I fixed my hair, and made sure my earring was on tight, since it keep falling, and then made my way outside.

Once made it outside, I crossed the street; Courtney's House was only 4 houses to the left from the house in front of me. When I made it to her house both the cars were gone so I knew Courtney's parent were gone. I went up to the backdoor, which is always open, and walked in. The alarm system indicated that the back door had been opened and Mrs. Delmont's dog Lilly came to me. I picked her up then started walking to Courtney's room. Her room was on the 2sd floor, and as big as my mom's room if not bigger. Her door was crack, so I just opened it and walked in. I saw Courtney on her bed with her laptop in front of her reading something. She didn't notice me at first, so I started to tip top to her when her wooded floor creaked. She turn her head slowly to me, then back at the computer. That was not the reaction I planned on getting. I put the dog down then walked over to her desk and sat in her big spinning chair, and looked at her.

"What's up with you?" I asked wanting to know. She continued to look at the laptop. I scooted the chair to the side of the bed and looked at the screen. There were just words on it, so many words that you probably get a headache from looking at it. So I moved my chair back to her desk then grabbed the remote to her flat screen TV, and turn it on. I was just about to watch MTV Cribs when Courtney decide to speak.

"Did you know that there are so many different types of cancer?" She asked looking over her laptop to meet my eyes.

"Yeah, my dad's sister had some kind of cancer, but not anymore." I said

"What do you mean by not anymore?"She asked.

"Like… she got it fixed. What's with all the cancer talk?" I asked

"What kind of cancer did she have?" She asked completely ignoring my question.

"I'm not going to tell you until you answer my question." I said looking into her dark onyx eyes. She was silent for a couple minutes, so I turned around and started watching MTV.

"My mom has cancer." I heard her mumble. I turned around expecting to see her crying, but I was wrong. She just looked sad, and depressed. I got up and sat next to her; she sat up and looked at me.

"My aunt had leukemia, if it helps any. And she got it fixed and she is as good as new." I said and smiled a bit, Courtney's head went down a little.

"I don't know what kind of cancer she has, there still doing testing. She's been gone for a week now. And my dad is always at work." She said looking at me.

"Don't worry Court. It's probably nothing big, she'll get her cancer fixed like my aunt's and be as good as new." I said smiling, trying to brighten up the mood, which worked since she smiled a little bit.

"So want to watch MTV cribs with me?" I said pointing to the TV.

"Sure." She said. After watching two episodes her house phone began to ring. Courtney answered the phone, and went in the bathroom to talk. I continued to watch the show when Courtney came out the bathroom, and threw the phone at the wall. The phone broke on impact with the wall, I looked at Courtney who was standing there heaving. I didn't know what to do, I never seen her like this before. I mean she gets mad a lot, but never this mad. She leaned against the door, and slid down to the floor. I got up and sat next to her. I could hear her cry a little, so I put my arm around her and hugged her. She leaned her head against my shoulder, and cried some more. We sat here for awhile, and then Courtney said something.

"My mom was just told that she has malignant brain tumor…. That's one the worst cancer there is." She said as she wiped her tears.

"They said that they're going to go into chemotherapy surgery in a couple of weeks. Until then there is nothing they can do. "She said then she sat up and looked me in the eyes, her eyes were so red and puffy.

"Duncan, I just don't know what I would do if my mom doesn't make it." She said then tears started to slid down her face. I wiped her tears the gave her a tight protective hug, and said

"Courtney, no matter what, you'll always have me. I don't want you to ever forget that." I said then hugged her tighter. We hugged only a minute before I let go, and got up. I pulled her up then went to get her old school backpack.

"Pack your stuff your staying the night at my house." I said as I handed her, her backpack. She nodded then started packing.

2 months later

I stepped outside of my dad's car wearing all black, I looked around to see if I could see Courtney anywhere. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned around to see my mom's sadden face. I gave her a hug then she whispered in my ear.

"Courtney want you to sit up front, with her family. I'll come if you want."She said as she released me and looked at me with her deep blue eyes.

"No thanks, I'm going to find her." I said walking into the building passing people wearing black, crying, or people trying to comfort the crying people. I hate funerals. I finally made it to the room where the ceremony would take place to see Courtney sitting there, alone. I walked up next to her, bracing myself for tears, but when I got there her face was dried. I sat next to her and she looked up and smiled, I smiled back. We sat there in silence until she spoke.

"One of thing my mom told me was that when she was in the hospital she had a dream about angels on the moon." She said then looked into my eyes.

"She said that knowing she was going to die soon was the worst thing ever, and the pain… she could never explain it. But she said that every time she would go to sleep and dream about the angels she felt no pain. When she saw me and you, the day we went there, she said she felt no pain." She said before pausing.. "The last thing she told me was that I was her guardian angel, and that you are mine. And as long as where together we'll feel no pain." She said as a tear went down her cheek. I wiped it off then held her hand in mine.

"We'll always be together Court, I'll always be here for you." I said then gave her hand a tight squeeze. If only I could have keep that promise. Life would have been a whole lot better for me and maybe even her.
