Chapter 11
This chapter is just events that happened after Duncan, Courtney, and Gwen went back home after TDA ended, leading up to when everybody was invited to the Gemmy awards a few months later and the beginning of TDWT.
Two days after TDA ended, everyone went back home. But it was under a month when Duncan and Courtney's relationship started getting sour. She began turning back into her jealous, demanding, tantrum-throwing self again. It started when for the first time she watched the episode of TDI where he was eliminated. She became enraged while she watched Heather cuddling up to him and stealing the map under his shirt while he slept. She instantly called Duncan about it and began yelling at him for not mentioning that part when he told her how he got eliminated. Then Duncan pleaded with her, "But Princess…," but Courtney interrupted him, "Don't call me Princess," and he said, "But you know how Heather is." She continued, "I don't want to hear any lame excuses, you're a total jerk," then she angrily pressed the off button on her cell phone. But two days later she called him and was all sweet again by saying she forgave him.
During the relationship everything had to be her way or the highway in everything or she'd give him a difficult time so he started doing what she wanted to avoid arguments. But that didn't stop other incidents from happening. They were at a carnival and he agreed to get a prize for Courtney at one of the booths. After he threw the ball and it hit the target, the pretty girl at the booth told him, "Nice throw." Courtney instantly got jealous and began screaming at the girl that she better stop flirting with her boyfriend. Duncan embarrassed, said in a low voice, "Knock it off, people are staring," then she turned on him and said, "I don't care, we're leaving now," and walked away angrily towards the parking lot with Duncan following behind her.
Finally on December 23rd while they were dining at a restaurant, Duncan asked Courtney, who was constantly on her PDA system, to put it down because of something he wanted to tell her. She replied nonchalantly, "Give me one minute," but three minutes later, she was still on it. Duncan then complained about her forcing him to take her to this expensive restaurant so she could at least pay some attention to him. She got annoyed and told him harshly, "And let you pick some cheap dump," then he said snidely, "Oh, I forgot, everything has to go your way," then he added, "And you have some nerve complaining about my manners but you are paying attention to that stupid thing when someone is trying to talk to you," Duncan added.
Then Courtney became angry and shouted at him, ""How's this for bad manners," then threw a roll at him. He snarled, "You wanna fight," then angrily threw some scalloped potatoes at her, then she threw some salad at him, and the food fight continued until some workers appeared and told them to leave. Duncan shouted, "We're through, I've had enough of your leash around my freaking neck," and Courtney responded angrily, "Fine, I'll take a taxi home." Duncan took some money out of his wallet, placed it on the table and told the waiter to keep the change, stormed out of the restaurant and got into his red car. After placing his seatbelt on, he muttered furiously, "Blasted, overbearing, bug-eyed, gold-digging witch. She's such a hypocrite complaining about my so-called bad manners when she doesn't have any. I should have told her to shove that damn PDA up her uptight ass," then he started the car and drove away. A few minutes later he muttered still angry, "All she did was take advantage of my soft side. I probably should just give up girls and live in the basement for the rest of my life." When he arrived home, Duncan went to his room and took off his clothes except his boxers and went to bed.
The next morning after telling his parents about the breakup during breakfast, he called Gwen. "Morning Duncan," she answered. "Morning Gwen," he replied, "I just called to tell you I broke up with the bitch last night." She replied in shock, "Really," then she asked him what happened and he told her the entire story. Gwen replied, "I can't believe she'd force you to take her to some expensive restaurant then ignore you." Then Duncan asked her what her family was doing on Christmas Day. She replied, "Well, after we eat Christmas dinner together we always watch one of those Christmas movies I hate so much." He replied, "Well Ma would like to invite you and your family over tomorrow for dinner." Gwen replied, "How nice of her, I'll tell mom and Ryan, what time should we come over?" Duncan said, "At five in the afternoon." She replied, "See you," then she hung up the phone. "Thank God he broke up with her," she said with relief, then added, "I really hope its permanent this time."
Please review
I decided to get Duncan totally pissed off about Courtney's treatment of him after he left her and his mother inviting Gwen and her family for Christmas dinner.
A/N: Since I've made Duncan tell Gwen that he and Courtney broke up it means that Gwen was lying when she said in the TDA Celebrity Manhunt Special that she had no idea that they broke up.
Next Chapter: Everyone gets invited to the Gemmy Awards and DxC make up in a very reckless way, but Duncan regrets doing so soon afterwards.
