They sat there talking; he explained how much he was sorry for what she had to go through and for what she probably thought. She told him about what all happened everything she felt, everything she thought. But soon they realized how stupid it was to think about these kinds of things for too long. They walked downstairs hand in hand that's when she noticed it. It was swollen and cut with dry blood on the sides.
"What did you do?" she said concerned looking over his hand.
"Well I think it could be from when I nearly broke down Logan's door or it could be from confronting Dick this morning" he had told her about his attack and Dick's confession.
"Are you okay?" asked Erin still glaring at Duncan.
"Yes, Duncan this is my cousin Erin, and Erin stop giving Duncan that look" she said snapping the looks from her face.
"You hurt her again and I will kill you" she said sternly.
"If I hurt her again I will kill myself" she smiled as if finally approving him.
"so where shall we go?" she asked making her way into the kitchen.
"uh-uh we aren't going anywhere you need to rest" Duncan said hugging her waist a little tighter.
"No no no the doctor said I was fine, I have been cooped up in here all day and I am not going to sit here a minute longer!" she said stubbornly.
"Fine" Duncan gave up. "where do you want to go?" he said waiting for her usual response of a movie or the beach.
"Lets go down to Sea Port village, I found the coolest restaurant the last time I was there and I have an announcement to make." She said with a giggle.
"Hun everybody knows" he whispered in her ear.
"Not Erin she thinks you cheated on me" she said.
"Sea Port Village it is." He said with a smile.
The day was beautiful, they walked around shop to shop looking at all the little knick knacks and funny sea shells shops. The girls found a place with really nice sun dresses while the boys found there way to the Harley Davidson shop. On the way they had invited Meg and Casey as well as Georgia and Wallace. They did their shopping and made it to the restaurant. Everyone was deep in conversation when Rachel cleared her throat "I have and announcement" Duncan held her hand but she looked down at him and shook her head. As if to say not now. "My repeal went through I get my grandfathers money on my 18th birthday… anyone feel like going on a weekend getaway for my party."
Everyone looked shocked, then Wallace spoke up "How much?" Georgia slapped his arm, "What?"
"Its ok after taxes about 9.2 billion….can someone pass the bread" now the shocked looks had gotten even bigger.
"What?" she asked with a giggle. They were speechless but took her lead and acted like she hadn't said anything at all. They finished up and drove back to Neptune before nightfall.
"So I will see you tomorrow?" Duncan asked slinked against her doorframe.
"Well….:" she said with her now all too famous evil grin. "I was thinking…"
"Oh god, what do you have planned in that cute little head of yours" he said rolling his eyes.
"Well maybe just don't tell anyone we are back together." She said with an innocent smile.
"That's all you're going to give me, no clue on what I am to expect" he said with a laugh.
"Nope you will just have to wait and see, but trust me it will be good, and it will be revenge."
"Well if It is revenge I guess I am ok with it." He said pulling her into a kiss.
"Bye lover boy" she said giving him another chaste kiss before closing the door.
The next day she felt confident she would walk right in and not give them another look, she was furious at Dick but she was using logic. She walked in and got to her locker but when she felt the all too familiar chill run down her spine she knew he was right behind her.
"So I guess we all found out that you aren't the slut that we all thought you were seeing as how Duncan had to look towards someone else for pleasure." His voice dripping with pride, trying to kick someone when they were already down. Logic flew out the door.
Before he had a chance to think her fist bashed against his nose, and he could feel the snap as blood started to pour out while he hit the floor. Luke bent down to see if he was okay but Dick pushed him off and got up, he pulled his hand back ready to hit her when he felt someone grab him.
"You don't follow instructions well do you" sneered Duncan. He pushed him against the lockers and slammed his hand next to him. "I have sat by while you teased, pushed, and harassed her, because I knew that she would eventually get you back, but when you physically hurt her that is when you are dead to me. Goodbye Dick" he said turning back with Logan the rest of the 09ers following leaving Dick alone and bleeding.
Rachel had run into the bathroom during this time she leaned against the counter huge tears down your face. Madison walked in and walked over, "oh is Rachel upset because she can't keep her man" she said in a mocking tone.
"O god Madison, I can't stand it anymore, your all he wants, your all he talks about." She said putting her head in her hands. "He said when he was kissing Shellie all he could think about was you, he has always wanted but you were always with Dick. I finally gave up, he is all yours" she said slipping out of the bathroom.
"What were you up to" Logan said with a smirk.
"Nothing" she said swaying back and forth like a little girl.
They parted ways and walked into class, her grin vanished as she sat down and waited for them to enter. Madison and Dick were outside the door, Dick's nose bandaged and Madison was yelling at him. They were breaking up and Dick finally entered while yelling back "Fine you little bitch but don't come crawling back." Rachel put her head down trying to surpress her giggles Duncan noticed and knew this was part of her plan.
Lunch finally came and Dick was shunned away from the 09ers "I guess the parliament has spoken" whispered Wallace sitting close to Veronica at their table watching the show. He walked to another table on the other side of the quad and everyone was still watching. Madison made her way to the table and put her hand on Duncan's arm, "What the hell is that?" asked Wallace now intrigued.
She bent down, "Duncan I just want you to know that I broke up with dick and I want to be with you too" She said with a seductive smile.
"Did she just say what I think she said" Wallace exclaimed, Veronica was speechless. What on earth is she doing?
"What?" Duncan asked confused turning around.
Madison's smile dropped and she looked confused as well she then felt a hand on her shoulder and jerked around.
"Madison If I didn't know better I would think you were trying to steal my fiancé" Stated Rachel.
Madison was sincerely shocked and angry, she looked over Rachel as she slinked down onto Duncan's lap and slipped an arm around his shoulder being sure to shine her huge diamond in her face. "Madison what would make you thinks that Duncan would be interested in you." She said tilting her head to the side, a smile creeping on her face. "I think your boy toy needs some company or should I say ex-boy toy, your no longer welcome, goodbye Madison" she said as they turned back to the table.
She looked around and was shunned, like the way she used to shun others, she began to cry and ran back into school. "So are you going to tell me what that was all about, I mean I knew she was out but what was she talking about?"
"I will tell you later, but you need to get your nourishment, were skipping independent study and driving down confront my friends… then you get to meet your inlaws." She said with a smile.
"we are going to the cemetery" he asked kind of scared.
"no, they are practically my parents I lived with them more then my own parents." She said. He nodded knowing exactly who she was talking about.
"Will Kelly be there because she kind of scares me" he said wincing.
"yes, but you can bring Logan and Veronica for support." She said with a smile.
"Anything for you baby, he said rubbing a hand over her stomach" she smiled giving him a kiss.
