Chapter Two: Hero

Because being the villain never suited anyone forever.

It was one of those times when you didn't know what to say to them, you know what I mean. When all you wanna say is 'hey, I'm really really sorry' but you aren't even sure if they'll believe you. When you think about it you wonder if you would really trust yourself either, and then here comes the big question: do you really trust yourself?

Then you know, you have a cosmic moment, a shift, something that sounds pretty damn life changing. Huge other worldly thing, OMG, do you trust yourself?

Well of course you fucking do. Duncan shifted in the seat of the airplane bathroom that he had forced himself to stay in since he had last seen her.

Of course he did, of course she trusted him...

But the way her eyes had been so tiny and the way her entire body quake with a certain fear left him unconvinced. It was night time, the window in the plane lit up with stars. He thought to himself that maybe this was what she had secretly wanted, for him to finally be the bad Guy who she would never want.

Again, he was not convinced.

Maybe he should go talk to her, maybe he should say-

Say what? Whatever he said wasn't believable anymore, his words meant nothing, all they did was betray his mouth.

But something made him get up from the dirty seat. He stretched his muscles and walked door the walkway of the plane. He made a small yelp as he fell over a looming figure laying in the middle of the walkway, who he soon saw was Owen. Big idiot.

Duncan watched his steps carefully now, but obviously no one else was sleeping on the floor so he stepped up his pace. He saw the back of her head and was about to go over to her when he heard something. "Cheater."

He swiftly turned around, ready to kick the snot out of whoever had dared to say it. He was confused when all he saw was Gwen, fast asleep.

She was all alone in her section of the plane- except for Cody, whose leg was being drooled on by Sierra as she clutched his leg. Creeper.

Gwen's mouth was moving slowly. "Cheater, lying, Trent, Courtney, Duncan... cheat... bad bad bad sorry... cheater lies Courtney... sorry..."

She was sleep talking.

Duncan scowled at Trent's name. But she kept saying 'sorry Courtney, sorry Courtney.' So he wasn't the only one feeling terrible, huh?

He looked to Courtney. Going back to her would only make him a worse person. Twisting with someone's emotions was wrong, and he actually liked Gwen a bit.

He walked over to Courtney and pulled her blanket up to cover her fully, looking at her one last time. Things would never be the same between them. She'd probably never forgive him.

But he was truly sorry for everything he had put her through. He would take it back if her could.

As he walked away, he didn't get to see Courtney sneak an eye open at him as a tear rolled down her cheek. He just didn't know how much he could hurt people. How bad she wanted to hate him.

But she knew, deep inside of him, past the lies and mistakes and sins he had made, there was a hero. Even if he would never know it.

A/N: Yeah, right. XP

I'm sorry, but this is called "FanFiction." I can do WHATEVER I want. Like make things a little better. I just felt kinda bored, so I wrote this. Gosh. Promise I won't write anymore for this story!

Thanks for reading!
