it was a long drive to the music store where Gwen was hiding behind. she hugged her knees tightly and waited for her phone to ring

Gwen: its my fault.. its my fault.. Trent.. i.. should have just..

her phone rang leaving her body shaking with fear.

Gwen: hello?

Duncan: were almost there.. keep a look out for us got it?

Gwen: alright

--

They found her sitting under a tree. her eyes were swollen from crying and they helped her into the car. when she got in, she found that Courtney's head was resting in Duncan's lap. Geoff was driving and Bridgette was in the passengers seat

Gwen: im sorry for dragging you into this.. i really am. but your the only ones i have left and..

Bridgette: hey Gwen. dont worry about it

Geoff: yah bra. i mean.. were all friends here right?

Duncan: where exaclty are we going?

he brushed some hair off of Courtney's face and sighed. Gwen saw and smiled weakly

Gwen: shes.. sleeping?

Duncan: she was worried sick.. shes blaming herself for everything now. typical princess..

Gwen: your such a nice boyfriend for her..

Duncan: i am not her.. -sigh- i guess i am.

--

about an hour of driving mindlessly, Gwen's phone rang again. Courtney woke up

Courtney: ..Gwen? oh sorry i guess i just fell asleep

Gwen picked up her phone and but her lip

Gwen: -gulp- hello?

Cam: hey sexy

Gwen: wheres Trent?!

at that everyone froze. Courtney grabbed Duncan's hand as Gwen put him on speaker phone

Cam: i know im on speaker so here.. might as well do this.

Trent: ahh! fuck!

Cam: here that? thats right. were somewhere.. secret. point is, if you dont bring Gwen to the Chicago Dock in 4 hours.. Trents going to wish he had never layed his eyes on my Gwen.

Duncan: Cam.. CAM. YOU SON OF A BITCH. I KNEW THE NAME SOUNDED FAMILIAR. wait till i get my hands on you..

Cam: what? ..Duncan?! well well well..

Courtney: Duncan.. shut up!

Cam: who was that? your new whore?

Duncan: can it!

Cam: whoever she is she sounds HOT

Duncan: dont you dare..

Cam: she probably would make an awesome hooker for my buds here..

Duncan clenched his fists in anger.. his whole body was trembling with rage

Courtney: Duncan.. calm?

Duncan: its okay princess.

Cam: anyways.. Gwen. Dock. in 4.

the phone goes dead and everyone looks at Duncan who was cursing under his breath.

Geoff: you know that sick dude?

Duncan: he was my ex cell mate.. EX cell mate.

Bridgette: what.. happened? or will i regret asking?

Duncan: i fucked up his face with glass.. real bad

Gwen: that explains the scar..

Duncan: hes on the run.. that might be why hes "gothic" right now. but wait till i catch him.. ill

Duncan realized Courtney was shivering with fear and he held her close.

Courtney didnt even protest.

Gwen just looked out the window.. crying.
