It's time for chapter 6! I hope you guys are having as much fun reading this story as I am writing it! RXR

Gwen sat in front of her make up stand. Trent had hit her on Friday, it was Monday and the bruise had still not gone away. She was caking all types of concealer on her face in attempt to cover it up. No matter how hard she tried, the bruise still showed. Gwen was giving up when she heard her mom call from down stares.

"Gwen, Trent's here to take you to school" said Gwen's mom.

Gwen thought about pretending to be sick so that she wouldn't have to go to school and risk someone noticing her bruise. She also didn't want to be anywhere near Trent at the moment.

Gwen's thoughts drifted to Duncan. She hadn't spoken to him all weekend. She had thought about calling him and begging him to come to her house and comfort her. She couldn't do that, she decided. She didn't want Duncan to see how weak she was.

Gwen walked out of her room and to the front door where her mom and Trent were waiting.

"Whoa, sweetie! What happened to your eye?" asked Trent.

Gwen glared at Trent. If looks could kill, Trent would be dead by now.

"I fell" said Gwen.

"Clumsy Gwen. Always managing to get hurt"

Trent kissed Gwen on the head and grabbed her hand. Hand in hand they walked to Trent's truck. The ride to school was quiet. Gwen didn't look in Trent's direction. He didn't even attempt to start a conversation. He knew a conversation would turn into a fight. And a fight would mean he would have to punish her and set her straight again. So he just kept his focus on the road. At least he got his point across. From what he could tell, Gwen and Duncan hadn't spoken to each other since that Friday after noon. He had even walked past Gwen's house a few time, just to spy on her and make sure she wasn't being disobedient.

Trent park his truck in the school parking lot. He opened his door and walked around and let Gwen out.

"You're gonna dump Duncan today, remember?" asked Trent.

"Yeah" said Gwen.

Trent gathered Gwen in his arms.

"I know this is hard for you, but it's for the best. I don't want you to be tempted but that Gothic, emo freak" said Trent.

"I know, Trent. You're only trying to do what's best for me" said Gwen.

Trent leaned down and gave Gwen a passionate kiss on the lips.

"I love you, babe" said Trent.

"I love you too" said Gwen.

Gwen gave him one last kiss then turned and walked towards her classroom. As she walked in the classroom, Duncan walked up and grabbed her from behind. Gwen was startled at first, then turned to look at Duncan.

"Hey" said Gwen.

"What happened to your eye?" asked Duncan.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just fell" said Gwen.

"Bull shit" said Duncan, "he did this to you, didn't he?"

"Um, no, he didn't. And what business is it of yours?" asked Gwen.

Gwen tried to walk away, but Duncan grabbed her arm and moved in front of her to block her path.

"What's wrong, Gwen?" asked Duncan "Did I do something?"

"No, it's just that, I don't want to be friends anymore" said Gwen.

Duncan's heart sank. Gwen's face held no remorse. She didn't even look like she was kidding. But she had to be.

"He told you to say that, didn't he?" asked Duncan.

"No, I thought of it myself" said Gwen.

"I don't believe you" said Duncan.

"You can believe what you want" said Gwen "I know the truth. I don't want to talk to you again."

Duncan didn't care about hiding the tears. He just let them fall. This killed Gwen.

"Crying is not gonna make me change my mind if that's what you're trying to do" said Gwen.

"What about all the things we've been through? We've been best friends all of our life" said Duncan.

"I know, but things change. You're still young, Duncan. You can find another friend like me" said Gwen.

"I don't want anyone but you, Gwen. I need you" said Duncan.

Gwen pushed past Duncan. She couldn't bare to see him cry any longer. Duncan grabbed her arm.

"Gwen, please don't do this. I came back for you" said Gwen.

"Maybe you should go back to Rhode Island. Your life will be a whole lot better without me in it" said Gwen.

"No it won't" said Duncan.

Gwen pulled her arm away from Duncan and reached to her neck to unfasten the locket that hung around it. She turned and dropped the necklace in Duncan's hand. Duncan felt his heart break. He clutched the necklace in his hand. He was overwhelmed with sadness. Without another word, Duncan walked past Gwen and walked out the door. He didn't even glance back at his best friend.

"Duncan, wait" Gwen called.

She took off running after him. She ignored all the questioning stares that came from all the other students. She didn't care. She just wanted to catch up with Duncan. But it was too late. Duncan was gone. Gwen fell to her knees. She put her head in her hands and cried. She would give anything to take back what she said to Duncan.

"Gwen, you alright?"

Gwen looked up and saw Trent standing over her.

"Yeah, I just stood up to fast and got dizzy" said Gwen.

"Bull. You were crying" said Trent.

Gwen didn't respond. She just dropped her head and looked at the floor.

"Gwen, I know it's hard. It'll get better. I promise" said Trent.

Yes it was. And Gwen knew just how to make things better.

Duncan was laying in his bed. It was 12 o'clock in the morning and he hadn't gotten any sleep. He had cried so much it had given him a headache. He just lied there and stared at the ceiling. Thinking about Gwen and everything they had been through together. How could she just throw everything away just like that? He knew it wasn't her fault. He knew Trent was the reason she was acting like this. He wanted to believe that she only said those things to make Trent happy, but deep down he was afraid she meant them.

His thoughts were interrupted but a tapping sound. He sat up in bed and looked around his room to look for the source of the noise. The tapping came again. This time louder. Duncan was getting freaked out. He wiped the tears from his face and got out of bed. He walked over to his light switch and turned it on. He scanned the room and didn't see anything. He crossed to his closet and opened the door. Again he turned on the light and scanned the tiny room. He still didn't see anything. Then, his phone started buzzing. He crossed to his night stand and picked it up. It was a text from an unknown number. (Open your damn window.) Duncan looked at his window. He crossed to it and opened it up. Gwen pulled herself into his room.

"You make that look way to easy" said Gwen.

"What are you doing here?" asked Duncan "I thought we agreed to never see each other again."

"We did" said Gwen "I changed my mind."

Duncan smiled and pulled Gwen into a hug.

"I'm glad you did" said Duncan.

Gwen let go of Duncan and walked to his bed. She plopped down onto her back.

"Trent hit me" said Gwen.

"I know. You're a terrible liar" said Duncan.

Duncan went and sat on his bed next to Gwen.

"Why did he do it?" asked Duncan.

"Because I told him it was over" said Gwen.

"Sounds like he can't take a hint" said Duncan.

"What can I say? I really know how to pick em" said Gwen.

"Yes you do. You could use a little help in that department" said Duncan.

"Says you! Exactly how many girlfriends have you had?" joked Gwen.

"I don't need a girl to be happy, thank you" said Duncan.

Duncan and Gwen started wrestling on the bed. Before they knew it, Duncan was on top of her. They had been in this position before and it didn't really faze them. This time it felt a little different.

Gwen blushed and looked up in Duncan's blue eyes. Duncan stared back at Gwen. He wanted to kiss her more than anything right now. What's stopping him?

Duncan lowered his head slightly, waiting for Gwen to refuse. When she didn't, he leaned in a little more. Gwen's heart was pounding. The only thing holding her back from jumping on him and ripping his clothes off was her pride. She didn't want him to think she was easy. Then Duncan closed the gap between their lips. His kiss was passionate. It sent Gwen's heart into a frenzy. She could have sworn there was fireworks going off inside her body. Duncan brought one hand up and cupped her cheek in it. Gwen brought her arms down around his neck. She had never been kissed this way. Not even by her own boyfriend. She didn't want this moment to end. The kiss seemed to last forever, but then Duncan broke away gasping for air.

"So much for faithfulness" said Duncan.

"Fuck faithfulness" said Gwen.

She grabbed Duncan's head and brought him back down for another kiss. This kiss was more passionate. Gwen knew at that moment, that she was in love with Duncan.

Awww! I hope you liked it as much as I did. I'll try to get chapter 7 out ASAP RXR
