6-I Love...

The water's edge hadn't changed one bit since Courtney had left. It was still the most relaxed, comfortable and romantic place in Scarlatina. It's perfect view of across the sparkling blueness, to the town of Scarlatina, hadn't changed. If anything, it was even more breath taking. However, Duncan hadn't been able to sit there since his, now ex, girlfriend's departure a year ago. But, today, he wanted to sit there and watch the water standing still before him. He wanted to be able to smell the fresh lake scent in the air. And, most of all, he wanted to sit down and think.

The delinquent was happily sitting alone, thinking about what he was going to do about Courtney. Ever sine she had come back, he had made sure not to get too close to her. It was mainly Bridgette and Geoff who talked to her, since she was staying in Bridgette's house. Duncan didn't know where he fitted in anymore, he didn't think they could just go back to being friends.

"You know you wanna take her back, Dunky baby." Izzy told him, swinging down from one of the above tree branches. Nothing out of the ordinary there. Duncan, being used to crazy girl, just answered her without any concern about why she had been in the tree in the first place.

"Izzy, you're not helping. I don't think I love her anymore." The punk let out a sigh, he really wasn't sure about his feeling's anymore.

"Yes you do." Izzy gave him a nudge against his shoulder with her own. "You just don't know it yet."

"No. I don't love her. She told me it wasn't gonna work out, so I've moved on."

"HELLO!" Izzy screamed at Duncan. "She said that to protect you, you untasty fishcake!"

"Well it's too late now." Duncan was about to get up and leave when Courtney waked up to the two. Izzy shot her a sideways smile, whilst Duncan turned his head to the floor.

"Hey, Izzy, can I talk to Duncan alone, please?" She asked, Izzy didn't hesitate to answer.

"Sure, Courtney babe." With that, the pyro maniac skipped off to wreak more havoc on the town. She was muttering about something that sounded a lot like 'Must buy new atomic crayon's.'

Courtney took a eat on the grass beside Duncan and found herself giggling.

"I'd forgotten how nice it is by here." She admitted. All Duncan did was grunt in response. They both knew they had to talk to each other at some point, "Do you want to go first?" Courtney asked, knowing what the answer was going to be anyway. The vampire didn't reply at all, he just kept staring out to the water. "Okay, I'll go first." The brunette took a deep breath before starting her mini-speech.

"I love you Duncan. I have since the first day we met. Even though I have broke up with you twice, you've always managed to convince me otherwise. Now, it's my turn convince you." Duncan turned to look at his former flame, noting the way the water reflected off her onyx eyes when she was upset. It almost made Duncan not want to say what he was about to, almost.

"This was the last time. I don't love you anymore." He stated, harshly. Before he knew it, Courtney had pulled him in for a kiss. A long, deep, passionate kiss.

When they broke away for air, both were panting.

"Is there anything I can do to convince you?" Courtney asked, seductively. Running her hand up and down Duncan's leg, only to have the boy remove it.

"No."He told her, waning to en the conversation before it took another turn. However, Courtney pulled her love in for another heated kiss. When they broke apart, Courtney simply said, "Think about it and let me know." Before walking away from the water's edge.

"NOTHING!" Bridgette screamed. "That boy is so stupid." She stopped pacing back and forth in her room and there herself onto her bed. She had been mad at Duncan since the moment Courtney had told her that he rejected her. Courtney was sitting on her own bed in Bridgette's room, the one that used to belong to Bridgette's sister before she left home, staring out the window at Duncan. The vampire sitting by the fountain in he town center, which, luckily, Bridgette had a full view of from her bedroom window.

"No he's not."Courtney told her best friend. "He just doesn't know what to believe." Bridgette sat up on her bed and faced the sorcerer.

"You may have messed him around to many times." She said, taking a seat beside Courtney and watching him from the window, too.

"No I haven't." But, Courtney didn't sound thoroughly convinced. "He just doesn't love me anymore."
