TRENT X COURTNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!N :)
don't worry, for all you DxC fans, there's going to be a little Courtney x Duncan.....you'll understand when I tell you about it!!!!
On with the chapter!!!!!!
Courtney's POV
"Mom, I have something to tell you...." I whispered
"What is it honey?" she asked worriedly.
I couldn't find words. Like I actually had no more voice. I had forgotten how to talk.
"I'll tell you ma'am, Courtney....isn't herself today." Justin lied slyly with fake sympathy.
"Oh, dear.....well.....please come in then." she offered
Me and Justin both walked in to the parlor room. I took a seat in the far corner in the red velvet chair. The fireplace had been lit and I felt a warm sensation go through my body as I took my seat. I floor was made of ordinary hardwood (it may be a fancy house, but marble flooring is so hundred years ago.) Before my mother walked back into the room, HE gave me one more icy look, which quickly went away when my mother came into the room.
"Alright, care to tell me what this is all about now?" my mother asked Justin taking her own seat.
"Well, you see, my cousin works in the coast guard. He has told me to inform Courtney and her family that........Duncan and his crew were found dead.
When he said those words I felt another bullet go through my heart. I had already known, but it hurt to hear it again. I looked over to my mother who was only looking at me. She had fear, sadness, and dispar written on her face. We were both starting to tear up.
"H-how did this happen?" my mother stuttered
"I'm afraid him and his crew were engulfed in the ocean by the storm ma'am." Justin stated with no emotion in his voice. This didn't surprise me because the only emotion that he could be feeling right now is joy.
"Oh dear! Courtney I'm so sorry!!!!" my mother exclaimed. Embracing me in a hug as we both started to sob.
I wasn't crying because Duncan was gone. I had no more tears left for that. I already cried them all away. I was crying because now I have to spend the rest of my life with...with....Justin. He does not love me, rather my money.
"I couldn't be more sorry for your loss Mrs., that is why I have promised Courtney that if she wishes she may again be mine." Justin said. I noticed he was a little to jumpy and excited for someone who should be mourning.
My mother stopped abruptly and looked at Justin with an amazed look.
"Justin! Courtney just lost the man she loved! How can you expect her to move on so quickly!!" my mother ranted.
Justin looked at me. We had talked about this in the car ride over. I had to step in now. I swallowed my pride, and opened my mouth. How I so am going to regret this.
"Mother.......I went to him..." I lied
she then looked at me with the same expression she had given Justin a moment ago. Shock.
"What?" she inquired
"I-I went to him...because....since Duncan is gone....I need a husband soon." I squeaked
"Why so soon, honey?" my mother asked putting her arm around my shoulder. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, I let them fall as I thought of a reason.
"Because I-I'm pregnant...." I stated. This WAS true.
Justin fought to hold back a gasp. But his eyes widened enormously. This was good. He thought it was his. I still cannot believe that night. The mere thought of him made me felt like I wanted to cry.
"You're pregnant?" my mother breathed
"Yes mom, and I found out after Duncan left......but then I found out that....the baby was Justin's." I sobbed
"I agreed to marry her as soon as she told me." Justin stated, gaining his composure from shock. That ass, he's going to really milk this isn't he?
"I felt I needed to support her, and our child in her time of need." Justin said as he walked across the room towards me. He put his arm on my shoulder after he finished talking. His touch was cold and lifeless.
"Well, sweetheart, this is your decision. If you want to marry Justin again then I'll make the arrangements." my mom offered.
I looked up at Justin who had a fake plastic smile plastered on his seemingly perfect face. He pretended to smile back at me, but when I went to reply his grip on my shoulder got tighter.
"Y-yes, mom, I wish to marry him." I sighed.
"Alright, I'll call your father and make the arrangements. I am truly for your loss dear." she apologized.
What have I done?
Duncan's POV
The silence of the work on the island was very awkward. I guess everyone was just afraid. Afraid of starvation, dehydration, afraid of dying. Truthfully,...... at this point I was too.
"We're alone on this island boys! We need to talk to each other or we'll go mad....er....." I yelled
"Well what exactly do we have to talk about? Where to put our bodies when we die?" Harold said sarcastically.
I stopped trying to light fire with two rocks (which was a total bust anyways) and threw the rocks at a tree with all the strength I had left.
"Damn it all!!!!" I shouted to no one in particular.
"Harold!" Trent accused
"No!" I interrupted "don't critize him for being right" I sighed
"What?" Cody whimpered
"Look at us! We're in the middle of the bloody freaking' ocean with no communication! We're all wasting away without proper food!" I shouted
It was true. We were really starting to look like real castaways. We were getting thinner and thinner. All we had left was muscle, and our bodies were going to start eating that too.
"What about not giving up!" Trent exclaimed "You said we were going to live!"
"All I have to say now is.......sorry for making you suffer this long." I explained blankly.
"Do you young folks happen to know the best way to get back to the mainland?" a voice called out in the distance.
"Wow, the sea water must be getting to me. I'm hearing voices" Tyler said
"Yeah, and I'm having helusinations" Harold stated " I actually think I see a boat." Harold laughed
I didn't believe it at first. But I recognized that voice. It was Mr. Smith. But....It couldn't be..I turned around and saw a dinghy out on the coast of the island. And sure enough at the captain's post was a man wearing a yellow rain jacket uniform at the wheel.
"MR. SMITH!!!!" I yelled flailing my arms like a maniac.
"Duncan, I don't think it's................." Trent started
Before he could finish, his boat pulled up onto shore.
"Oh boy! What are you young whipersnapers doing out here!" Mr. Smith smiled
"It's a long story but boy are we glad to see you!!!" I exclaimed
"Yah, see you got a shipwreck there.....hop on board." he stated
"Is this real?" Harold asked poking the boat.
"It is, it's the most beautiful boat I've ever seen!" Trent exclaimed
I feeling of being rescued was like nothing I've ever felt before. Like someone or something had just been lifted from your shoulders making you feel light as air. My entire crew climbed on board the boat and immediately went to the food and drink. Typical.
I can't believe that I'm going to see Courtney again. I thought that the last time I was ever going to see her was when she was waving good bye. I couldn't wait to get back.
Tyler passed me on the ship before we set off for home. He gave me a look. Not one with any emotion or hate. Just a dark.....look. Like he was still dead inside. I'm sure he'd feel better once he got home.
"Mr. Smith, I can't thank you enough." I stated
"Not a problem at all my boy." he replied pulling the boat out to the sea.
"If you don't mind me asking.....why are YOU out here?" I asked
"Between you and me, once I retired, I came out here to grow my pies. "He whispered
I just nodded, still smiling.
"Of course you did." I replied
WILL DUNCAN MAKE IT BACK IN TIME? Don't think he will.......maybe he won't come.....I'm dead serious........ the next chapter will probably be the last, so review! Sorry this story has to come to a finish. :(
REVIEW!!!!!!!
