Duncan's POV (05/21/2015)
The last week and a half had been great. Court and I were getting along well, so well that I thought we might end up back together. I woke up that morning with a text from her, as always, so I laid in my bed and just kept texting her.
C: Morning Duncan :)
D: Morning Court :* Hope you have a great day!
C: You too! Wyd today?
D: Idk yet, wassup?
C: Let's hang out, there's this sushi place downtown I wanna go to
D: Aite I'm down. What time?
C: Around 6ish. I'll pick you up.
D: See you then
She didn't respond after about 10 minutes so I put my phone down and decide to fall back asleep. I wake up again to look at my phone to see it's 2:37. Sheesh I slept in. I went downstairs to see my younger sister Lauren and twin sister Carly making lunch.
"You guys are the best!" I say as I grab a french fries. Lauren instantly smacks it out of my hand back onto the plate and I just look back in shock.
"Who said any of it was for you?" So rude but not surprising at all. Lauren was sarcastic and the biggest asshole but you gotta love her, she always showed love when it was needed. "You know I'm just kidding stupid. You can pick up whatever you want but leave some for Miley and the younger ones.
"Miley's home? She's not staying at her boyfriend's place anymore?" Miley was my other younger sister. Her and Lauren were the best of friends.
"Yeah, she does still live her sometimes." I shrug and start to grab a plate for food. My phone vibrates as I'm scooping the rest of my fries and see that my friend Tom is calling me. I put my plate down and answer the call.
"What's up man?"
"Hey Duncan, want to do a big favor for me?" I stood there in silence for awhile before I gave an answer that we both knew was coming.
"No."
"Please man, I really need you to do this for me."
"Well what's the favor?" I ask annoyed.
"I can't tell you."
"What the fuck Tom? How do you expect me to do a favor for you if you don't tell em what it is."
"I just can't but it's really serious and it needs to happen tonight."
"Tonight? Well what time?"
"6:30 or 7ish."
"I can't do that time man, I'm busy."
"Busy doing what?" he asks curiously.
"I'm going -," I start to say but stop myself when I realized no one knew about me and Courtney, not even Geoff.
"Going where?"
"Um nowhere, that should be fine." I hang up the phone and instantly regret the whole conversation. I can always hang out with Courtney another day, even tomorrow. Plus Tom said it's serious but Courtney is super stubborn. Hopefully she understands. After I finish eating, I grab my phone to text Courtney.
Courtney's POV (05/13/2015)
I was picking out an outfit from my closet for tonight when I get a text from Duncan. My face instantly lights up but falls when I see his message.
D: I'm sorry Court but I don't think I can go anymore.
Already annoyed, I text him back super fast to get to the bottom of this.
C: Um ok… why not?
D: Tom said he really needs to see me tonight, said it's something serious
C: Well have fun, I'll just be eating sushi by myself lol
D: Sorry babe :*
I don't even bother responding at this point. I just throw my clothes on the ground and lay on my bed to open my laptop. I turn on Netflix and by the time I finish an episode, I get another text. I was seriously hoping it was Duncan telling me he was joking but instead it was my best friend Heather. Our moms are also best friends so we basically grew up together.
H: You won't believe what I'm seeing right now
C: Believe what?
H: Duncan & Gwen are going on a date. MAJOR DOWNGRADE.
My first instinct is to immediately text Duncan and flip out but I decide to get all the information from Heather first. Gwen was Tom's little sister so was this his way of lying to me? I haven't even told Heather about me and Duncan so I play it cool and try to act unbothered by the whole mess.
C: Seriously? Lol that's interesting
C: Wait wya?
H: His house. I was hanging with Lauren when I heard him telling Carly he was going to pick her up.
C: Such a cute couple lol
Finally deciding I had heard enough from Heather about Duncan's date, I decide to text him myself. He offered no explanation except lies but now I know everything.
C: Have fun on your date with Gwen. Nice to know how easy it is for you to lie to my face.
D: It's not even like that Princess
C: Don't call me that.
C: And so it's not you cancelling our sushi date to go out with Gwen?
D: Well when you put it like that
C: Exactly
D: Can you chill out
C: No cause you're a complete imbecile
D: You know what, I don't have to explain myself to you
C: What's that supposed to mean?
D: We're not even a couple
D: And I will have fun tonight, trust me
K: Wow
K: Please forget I ever existed
D: Gladly and easy
'Gladly and easy.' That was his response instead of apologizing. I was done with Duncan and I deserved someone better but that didn't mean I wasn't sad about what just happened.

D: Morning Court, can we talk? I don't like the way things went down the other week
*three hours later*
D: I miss you
*five hours later*
D: You're really gonna ignore me

D: Courtney, come on. Just talk to to me please

D: I give up. Have a nice life, I'll be happy with Gwen anyways.
That was the least message I got from him for another year.
