Duke punched his pillow a couple of times before laying down on his bed, his arms behind his head, and stared up at the ceiling. Danielle had left 15 minutes ago from getting her stuff out of his dorm-room and he had ignored her completely. There was no fixing their relationship now. They were done for good.

"Well...that's everything." Danielle said, coming back into his room. He rolled over on his side, his back to her. He could care less about her tears. Or so he thought. The anger was still buring him on the inside, causing him not to be able to think straight. He looked over his shoulder at her as she took his leather jacket out of a box and put it on the empty bed beside his own. He almost told her to stay but didn't.

"Yeah." Was all he said and she nodded slightly.

"Bye then." He nodded and she left. It wasn't until after the door closed did he regret everything he had said and did. He got up and looked out his window, leaning on the wall and staring down at Destiny. He saw her take one last look at the dorm building and then she got in the car, driving off. He sat down and put his head in his hands, tears coming to his eyes. He missed her already.

He wiped away his tears and cleared his throat as his phone rang. Without even looking at the caller ID, he answered it.

"Orsino."

"Hi Duke, it's me. Olivia Lennox." He sat up a little and cleared his throat again.

"Oh hi Olivia. Listen now really isn't a good time."

"Yeah I heard about you and Danielle. Which I was wondering if you wanted to go Cesario's. My treat. Just to cheer you up. Say on Friday?" Duke sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"Yeah whatever Olivia."

"Great. So I'll see you then."

"Yeah." He hung up and stared at his desk, at the picture of him and Danielle. He wiped his eyes and couldn't stop the tears. He laid his head on his arms on his desk and sighed, the weight of the few days finally settling on him. He cried like he had never cried before, wishing to erase everything that had happened but knowing he couldn't.

A/N kinda ruins the machoness look on Duke huh? Well I wanted him to have a sensitive side so send on the flames...I don't care. My story, my rules. But whatever you say, I'll still love ya cause you all took the time to at least R & R.

Hugs && Kisses,
