***Gwen's POV***

Running back to the trailer my eyes burned full with tears. I couldn't believe that Duncan was kissing Courtney, and even after he said he loved me. The flashback to the horror movie challenge brought back the burning in my heart. I ran into the girl's trailer and crashed down on my bed and began breaking down in tears, not even caring if anyone heard me.

"Girl what happened to you?" I looked up my pillow which was now stained with mascara to see LaShawna standing by her bed with a concerned look on her face. I dried my eyes while she sat beside me.

"D-D-Duncan was kissing C-Courtney on the b-b-bridge," I managed to stutter out. LaShawna immediately got pissed off, she was like me; she didn't like it when people hurt her friends.

"That cheatin' player! You want me to go make him apologize? Or I can beat him up for you, whichever works best you girl." I sniffed and smiled, LaShawna was such a good friend to me, plus she was pretty much the only person here I could trust.

**BANG BANG BANG**

"Gwen! Please open up! It's all a big misunderstanding, just please just like me talk…." Duncan was yelling from outside and…, he sounded like he was…, crying? I thought for a second.

"LaShawna, can I have some time alone with him?" She looked still a bit untrusting but she got up and opened the door. Duncan walked past her and looked at me, his eyes were red and a couple of tears were running down his face. So he was crying? Did he really care that much? I walked up to him and waited for him to start talking.

"Gwen, I know you're mad at me but this is all just a misunderstanding, Courtney just kissed me without warning! Please, you have to believe me."

"Why should I believe you Duncan? Give me one good reason." I said that a little harsher than I meant to. Then he did something I didn't expect; he dropped down on his knees and buried his face into my stomach and wrapped his arms around me, crying while he spoke.

"G-Gwen I'm sorry if I hurt you, but I did not mean it. Courtney tricked me. Just please don't hate me. I-I-I love you…... and I can't live without you! Please Sunshine you're the only one I really love." I was in shock. I never expected Duncan of all people to do something like this. I'd never seen him shown this much emotion before. I wrapped my arms around him and held him close and leaned down to kiss him on top of his head. That was enough to snap him out of his hysterics and he stood up to face me, his sapphire eyes staring like stone into mine.

"I never knew you cared so much Duncan." I said still in shock. He grabbed one of my wrists and pulled me closer to him.

"Of course I did I've cared for you ever since the beginning of this Goddamn season, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I just don't want to lose you. Can you forgive me?" I looked at him; his cheeks were soaked with tears. So he liked me since the beginning of this season? Even before Trent and I broke up? I moved as close as I possibly could to him and held his face in my hands. Then I sealed the gap between our lips kissing him with passion. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he gladly wrapped his arms around my waist moving them up my back. I could taste his tears now, salty and saddening. I licked his lip requesting entry, he opened his mouth and we continued like this for about 10 minutes, but to me it felt like ten hours. He ran his fingers through my hair and we broke apart. I saw his face full of relief. I put my hands on his cheeks and wiped off the rest of his tears with my thumb.

"I love you Duncan." His face lit up at those words. He then pulled me into a tight embrace as he never wanted to let me go.

"Oh Gwen thank God. I was so scared I was going to lose you." His words touched my heart.

"Never Duncan and I'll never let anyone try and steal you away from me again." We sat down on my bed and we began one of our "Hot N Heavy" make-out sessions till people started banging on the door to let them in their room. Then he took my hand and we ran out the door not looking at the people we passed, and we ran into the woods.

***Duncan's POV***

We kept going for about 15 minutes until we came to a meadow in the heart of the forest. The trees above were mostly clear so we had a great view of the night sky and we lay down on a soft patch of grass. I pulled in Gwen close and stared back up at the sky: the moon and stars seemed to be shining brighter than ever. I looked back down at Gwen, the light of the moon made her glow like an angel in the darkness, a beautiful angel, MY angel. She had already drifted off; she looked so cute when she slept. I was about to fall asleep till I heard her small voice in the dark.

"Mmmm…Duncan…" Was she awake? She turned around to face me her eyes were closed. "Duncan……stay with me……don't leave." She was dreaming, about me. I pulled her in close and whispered, "I will stay with you Gwen, always." She smiled in her sleep and wrapped her arms around me. I smiled with her and fell asleep under the stars.
