Courtney's POV

It's been three weeks. Three weeks since I wrote Duncan that first letter, three weeks since I learned he still cared, three weeks since I learned he misses me, three weeks since we began to rekindle our worn out relationship.

Three beautiful, magical weeks.

It's been great.

I went to see my therapist two days ago and she said that there's a very noticeable change in my aura. She says I'm glowing with happiness.

And I am.

Not just about Duncan but my whole life has been looking up recently. I got accepted into Oxford (yes!) and at the moment I've got an internship for the summer at my Dad's law firm. He's the CEO so easy win. I've been getting my social life back on track too. I've been going out with friends more, interacting more and even signed up for a martial arts course. Courtney is back.

I smile to myself as I walk around the local park. I inhale the cool summer breeze and let my skin soak up the sun's radiant heat, enjoying the feeling against my skin.

"What are you doing?" I hear a familiar voice, accented with a slight sneer. It's Heather. I open my eyes and groan as I see her standing in front of me. She hasn't changed much since the show, except that she's dropped the manipulative behaviour a little. Her hair hasn't grown much, it's shoulder length now but she still has it up in a pony tail.

"None of your business Heather. Do you mind going away now?" I snarl at her. She smirks. "Whatever Courtney, I'm only talking to you because I have to."

"What do you mean?"

She fishes an envelope out of her pocket. "Here. Chris sent it to my house by mistake. I've already got one."

I raise an eyebrow. "Chris? As in Chris Mclean? What does he want?" I say peering at the letter cautiously. I wouldn't be surprised if he planted some kind of trick in it.

"Something about a reunion for the show." Heather says, obviously bored with this conversation. I ignore her and stare at the still unopened envelope. Reunion? For the show? Why?

"Why would Chris want a reunion?" I mumble.

"Duh, same reason he does the show at all: to humiliate and torture us and for higher ratings. I'm officially bored so I'm leaving. Bye" Heather says yawning and walking away, giving me a back handed wave as she exits the park.

I furrow my eyebrows and sit down on the nearest bench, reading the letter. I roll my eyes at it, disgusted by Chris' informal writing. And the worst thing is there's no way of getting out of coming to this stupid reunion. I groan. I can't go to this. I can't be at that reunion if he's going to be there...

I cringe and shudder. Duncan is going to be there... with Gwen. Gwen and not me. He's going to sit next to her and not me. He's going to have his arm around her and not me. He's going to be cuddling up to Gwen and not me. He's going to be kissing her and not...wait.

I don't really want him back THAT bad...do I? I look down at the letter, which is now crumpled and my enclosed fist. I sigh and begin to walk back to my house. Does Duncan already know about the reunion? Probably not, unless Gwen informed him about it. He even told me in one of his letters that the only letters he even opens these days are the ones from me. I sigh and smile to myself. He really has grown up in the past months. Before when we were dating he would have never opened up that much to me. He would just tell me to stop being uptight and shoo me away. But when it came to Gwen asking questions like that he would happily answer. The smile escaped my face as I opened my front door, closing it behind me. I sauntered into my living room and slumped down on the sofa after grabbing a pen and paper from the drawer.

Dear Duncan,

I'm still doing good, just busy studying. Have to keep standards up if I want to remain at Oxford when I go. But anyway. I don't if you've heard about this reunion thingy that Chris is doing. Sounds stupid, I know. I actually don't mind going, but from what I've been informed about is that no one can get out of it. It's in our contract.

So just thought I'd tell you that. Write back.

Love, Courtney x

I posted it straight away. This reunion had ruined everything. Our perfect friendship was now at stake. I don't think I can go. Not if he's there.

Sorry guys, I haven't been on for a while because I've just been busy with this and that. But i hoped you enjoyed it!

LOVE PEACE HAPPINESS
