"NO!"

--

Duncan heard a thunk as something landed on the gorund, hard. it sounded like, a human body but before he could look up to she what or who had fallen, a pink smoke filled the alley area.

Duncan: what the hell?!

Duncan could hear muffled voices of Geoff, Bridgette and Chris.

of course.. chemistry. Bridgette had aced chem last year..

but where was Courtney? and Cam..?

His heart thudded, a pain in his lower ribs wouldnt let him move, as he lay there, waiting for the smoke to pass.

--

The pink smoke had gone, still making the air around them slighty pale pink. Duncan breathed slowly. what the hell had happened?!

before he knew it, Courtney had run into his limp arms. was she.. crying?

Courtney: Duncan.. I..

Geoff: shit dudes.. call an ambulance!

Courtney looked up from Duncan's chest as he saw a dak figure lay on the ground... Trent.

Duncan tried to move but winced at the pain he was feeling. Courtney hushed him and went to Gwen. she had fainted.. not injured. but, fainted.

--

It was about 4 hours of waiting outside the emergency room. Duncan had two broken ribs, nothing too serious. Gwen was in a nearby hospital room, fainted from shock. Chris was outside with he camera crew, being interviewed. obviously HE was enjjoying this. Bridgette as asleep in Geoff's arms

Duncan: ..princess..?

Courtney: dont talk to me right now Duncan

Duncan: why not? i just saved your life.. and a lot more -smirk-

he held out his hand to touch Courtney's face but his injury wouldnt let him move and inch. Courtney saw this and sighed.

Courtney: you almost got yourself killed!

Duncan: that wasnt the first babe..

even in pain, Duncan had the energy to flirt. what was with him?!

Courtney grew angry

Courtney: dont treat it as a joke! its not funny! we dont know if Trents going to even make it our not!

Duncan, in great pain, moved closer to Courtney.

Duncan: hey, could you check my neck? i think i uh.. hurt myself

Courtney rolled her eyes as she moved inwards to examone his neck.

Courtney: theres nothing there... mph!

Duncan brushed his lips against her collar bone, nipping her skin lightly as he rolled his tongue ring against her.

Courtney: -whisper- what are you doing? this is no time for..

Duncan: im just glad your..alive.

Courtney's senses took over as she grabbed his face and forced her lips onto his. Duncan stroked her hair affectionately as he kissed her as she ran hands down his hard chest. they were interruped by Geoff who cleared his throat.

Geoff: you dudes are so serious.

Courtney blushed as she opened her mouth to speak. a doctor came out of the energency room. everybody but Duncan rose to their feet

Geoff: whats the news doc?

Doctor: theres good news and... very bad news.

Geoff: shit..

Doctor: well the bad news first i guess. Gwen is in a state of shock. we dont know when shell regain consiousness.. until then, her brain has paralyzed her body.

Bridgette put her hand over her mouth in horror

Even Duncan looked stressed.

Doctor: Trent is also in critical condition.. the knife went straight through his back.. he'll heal though. he seemed to have welts and burn marks all over his body though..

Duncan: ..Cam.

Courtney: what happened to Cam anyways?

Chris came in at that moment after eavsdropping

Chris: he got away..

a silence poured over the room.. Bridgette and Geoff's pink smoke idea was too late. Cam had already done this damage.

Doctor: the good news is though, Trent remembers his face and everything, the police are looking for him. and even better news..

Everyone looked at him

Doctor: i am a doctor but im also a lawyer. Duncan.. your criminal record has been erased

Everyone looked at Duncan and then at the lawyer.

Duncan: i.. uh.. thanks.

Courtney ran up to him and pulled him into a hug

Duncan: ow! save the touching for later babe

he winked and she rolled her eyes, playfully though

--

Gwen came out of her shock after a week or so, Trent was healing fast. Gwen visited him every single day at the hospital. it was funny how they had just fallen in love at first sight.

Gwen: Trent? i brought you your guitar.

Trent smiled and looked up from the white bed. his body was wrapped with bandages and his head had a giant bandage on it. he shuffled over so that Gwen could lue beside him.

Trent: so...

Gwen: uhh -blushes-

Trent took his guitar and started playing a song that he made up on the spot

it started with a simple school

and everywhere i went was your face

until one day i was brought to you by faith

and just couldnt keep away

Gwen smiled. it was true.. until..

but then a dark cloud swept over us

threatened, stole my heart

Gwen sat on the hospital bed, remmbering the horrible scenes

what great friends we had

who risked their lives

i would have died for you

just for you to survive

a tear rolled down her pale cheek

so it started with a bliss

a gift from up above

and it ended with a..

kiss..

the last note rang but Gwen didnt hear it. all she could concetrate on was Trent's lips, embracing hers.


A/N:

okay thats the end of it! sorry if the ending.. wasnt satisfying but hey, Cam got away didnt he?

that means..

SEQUAL!

SEQUAL!

SEQUAL!

..coming soon!
