Duncan's P.O.V
Was I harsh to Gwen? Yes. Was it worth it? I don't know was it? I left the locker room giving Gwen a shoulder bump on the way out. Was it a bad idea? I think so because I heard Geoff run after me.
"What do you want?" I asked him not looking at him.
"What's your problem?" he questioned
"What do you mean?" pretending to be confused.
"You know what I'm talking about so stop being jealous because Josh likes her too."
I turned around to face him, fire in my eyes.
"I'm NOT jealous!"
"Umm yea you are dude everyone is saying that you are"
"Well I'm not so get that into your skull" I turned and walked away but I didn't get very far when I heard someone run towards me but it wasn't Geoff this time. I turned around and saw a blonde chick running past me and Josh holding something in his arms... not something... someone.
I ran after them Geoff close behind.
'Who is that?' I thought carefully of who it could've been. Lindsay? No, Josh wouldn't care about Lindsay. Heather? Probably not, he hates her. I thought long and hard then thought of one person Josh would care about... Gwen.
"Who is that?" Geoff asked running beside me now.
"Gwen I think" I answered still kinda deep in thought.
He nodded saying no more we followed Bridgette and Josh to the nurses' office. When we got there Josh kicked the door open with his foot which made the nurse jump and one patient who was lying on one of the tables.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed seeing the little person in Joshs' arms, he set Gwen on one of the tables and looked at her with concern which made my blood boil.
"Is she going to be ok?" he asked worriedly.
"I don't know yet" the nurse answered looking at her "what happened?"
"Well..." Bridgette began. I didn't hear the rest because of the questions that were spinning in my head.
'Did I cause all of this to happen to Gwen? Is this all my fault? What if she doesn't wake up what will I do? Is she ok? Will I get in trouble? Will Josh get Gwen?'
"And that's what happened" I snapped back into reality.
"I see, well thank you miss Parkers" the nurse said shutting her notebook. "Can one of you boys stay with her while I get some of my equipment?" she asked looking at Josh, Geoff and I. "Her boyfriend would be the best option" the nurse added.
I was about to speak up when I heard another persons' voice.
"That would be me" I looked at the person beside Geoff and growled. Josh stepped up to the nurse.
"Ok I will come back in a few minutes, tell me right away if she wakes up" the nurse said while escorting Geoff, Bridgette and I out of her office. I looked over my shoulder glaring at Josh one more time before the nurse shut the door on us.
"I hope she gets better" Bridgette said while we were walking home from school. Gwen was still in the nurses' office and so was Josh.
Geoff nodded "me too" he looked at me "you hope she'll get better right?"
"Uh... I guess..." I replied. I then felt a big hand slap my face and then a stinging feeling. "OW THE HELL?" I yelled rubbing my face.
"How can you live with yourself Duncan?" Bridgette yelled; "Everyone knows that you still like her so why are you telling yourself a big lie that you don't!"
"Because!" I yelled back, "she likes Josh and even if I did tell her that I still love her she probably doesn't love me back!" I covered my mouth.
'Good job Duncan you said too much, now you're now a total idiot'
Bridgette smiled "that's what I thought you'd say"
Bridgette's P.O.V
Screaming at Duncan sure did help him tell me his true feelings about Gwen. Even though it was obvious that he thought she liked Josh. I knew that he still had a thing for Gwen. I patted Duncan's back.
"Then it's time for you to tell her when she wakes up of Josh might win this war"
Geoff nodded "and we don't want that do we?" he chuckled a little as Duncan shot a glare at Geoff.
"I don't know..." Duncan said thinking deeply at the idea.
"And if you don't well..." I looked at Geoff evilly.
"What?" Duncan asked me cautiously.
"And if you don't well I guess we just have to play this little tape on the announcements tomorrow" Geoff said holding up a tape recorder. Pressing play we heard me screaming at Duncan and Duncan confessing how much he loves Gwen.
When it was done Duncan gave us both a death glare.
"You wouldn't"
"Try us" I challenged giving an evil smile. Yes blackmail is way beyond us but this is almost a life and death situation here! And I don't want to lie but... it's kinda fun.
He gave a sigh, admitting defeat "fine I'll tell her."
I jumped up and down, "YAYAYAYAYAY!" clapping my hands while Geoff gave Duncan a fist bump.
"Good luck dude"
"Thanks... I think I might need it"
I stopped clapping and looked at Duncan, "why? There's nothing to it just say that you love her and-"
"That's not it" Duncan cut me off, "Josh is probably going to be in there"
"Then shoo him out!" I replied tired of his excuses
"I can't" Duncan said again.
"And why not?" I challenged him
"Well... it's because..."
Gwen's P.O.V
'Where am I?' I asked looking over the green mossy field seeing that the sky was... white? Why was it white?
'Where am I?" I asked again a little bit louder this time. Nothing but the rattling of the leaves on the... wait... there are no trees... was it the grass? No I don't think so.
It started raining all of a sudden. It was pouring down my face, the rain drops blinding me. I blinked the rain out of my eyes just to have more fall back in. I saw a figure in the distance. No doubt about it, there was something there.
I walked up to the figure until I was only one centimetre away from it. I blinked the rain out of my eyes again and the rain stopped instantly but the sky was still dark and cloudy. I saw that it was a person not an object. I raised my hand up to the persons face.
Its hand quickly grabbed my wrist and gave it a tight squeeze. Not those squeezes like a death squeeze but an 'I'm here for you' kind of squeeze. The hand was warm while my hands were freezing from the climate changing so fast.
The persons hand held my hand warming it up. I looked at the mysterious persons face. I couldn't see anything obviously wanting its face to be well hidden. I felt the other hand on my waist pulling me closer to it. Then wrapping its arm around my waist so I couldn't escape. Its hand let go of mine and put it on my chin raising it up slowly.
It could obviously see my face because I saw the person's teeth. Whiter then the whitest thing on earth probably. Then the persons face came close to my face and then... the person closed the gap. It was a sweet calming kiss not even rushing it. I tried to pull away but the persons hand was resting on the back of my head pulling me back down into its soft lips. The person finally pulled away looking deep into my eyes. It opened its mouth to say something...
I woke up, my head pounding and I was sweating like crazy.
"Gwen?" I heard a voice beside me. I looked at who it was. It was Josh.
"Huh? How'd I get here?" I asked confused looking around I saw that I was in the nurses' office. I sighed in relief and sadness. Who was that person I saw in my dream?
"Nurse's office" Josh explained "you fainted in the locker room so I carried you here"
I smiled thankfully at him "thanks"
I then saw the nurse she was... old. About maybe in her 60's? She already had grey hair, it looked like she's trying to dye it black but it didn't work. Her wrinkles kinda freaked me out and she was wearing a pink turtleneck.
"Hello Gwen" she greeted me with a friendly smile. I smiled back at least she was nice.
"Hello"
"Looks like you had a big fall huh?"
"Haha yea I guess"
"Well I'm so glad that you're better" she looked at Josh. "Your boyfriend was so kind that he stayed here for the whole day waiting for you to get better."
My BOYFRIEND? He's my boyfriend now?
I smiled at Josh and patted his hand, "well I am happy to have him as one" I replied playing along. Josh looked obviously pleased at my comment.
"Well Gwen can you please sign this sheet that says that you're all better now and then you and your boyfriend can leave."
I signed the paper and Josh held out his hand. I took it and he helped me get off of the bed thing.
"Thanks for taking care of her" he said before we exited the room.
"It was no problem" she said while shutting the door.
We then walked outside and when we were off school grounds I let go of him hand.
"Hey babe what's wrong?" he asked confused.
"Don't 'hey babe' me, how did you become my "boyfriend?" I questioned
"What do you mean?" he asked hurt "cant I be your boyfriend now? Besides I DID stay with you for the whole school day." I sighed.
"I don't know Josh..."
"What do you mean you DON'T know?" he asked getting mad.
"Well... you see... there's someone else..." I said slowly thinking of the mysterious person in my dream. Josh exploded.
"OH SO THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE! WHO STAYED WITH YOU THE WHOLE SCHOOL DAY GWEN? HUH? IT WAS ME! NOT DUNCAN!"
"Duncan?" I asked. Why'd he bring up Duncan?
"Just... never mind I'm leaving" he said walking away from me. I felt alone, confused, forgotten until I felt someone's hand on my shoulder it was warm and comforting I looked around and saw the person, that someone I wanted to see... Duncan.
Duncan's P.O.V
I was walking back to the school. I going to tell that special girl that I still loved her but there was someone I didn't want to see and that person was Josh.
'I hope he's not there' I thought pleadingly. I was almost there until I heard some people fighting. I love hearing these fights so I quietly went to listen.
"Well... you see... there's someone else..." I heard a female voice say.
"OH SO THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE! WHO STAYED WITH YOU THE WHOLE SCHOOL DAY GWEN? HUH? IT WAS ME! NOT DUNCAN!" I was taken aback a little.
Gwen? She's ok! I was about to come out of my hiding then I thought about who was screaming at Gwen. Josh! He was made at Gwen because she loves me? I was so happy but scared for her too. What if he abused her...?
"Duncan?" I heard Gwen ask confused. So they weren't talking about me before... so did she find me? No she couldn't have I was about 10 feet away from them.
"Just... never mind I'm leaving" Josh said walking away. He was coming straight at me! I climbed up a tree quickly trying not to be found. As I watched him walk away I also saw Gwen.
She looked so alone and sad. I had to comfort her. I slid down the tree and came up behind her putting my hand on her shoulder hoping it would make her feel better. She turned around and saw me. I smiled.
"Hey sunshine someone has a cloud in front of her" I joked.
She laughed a little and hugged me "not anymore" I hugged her back and laughed.
"That's good to hear sunshine" then I thought that this was the perfect time to tell her. "Look I have something to tell you" I started.
"Really? Me too" she said.
"Ok well I'll go first because I'm better looking"
She smiled "ok you go first."
"Well do you remember when I was checking you out in the principal's office?"
She laughed "oh yea wasn't that just this morning?"
I blushed in embarrassment "oh yea! Well anyway I wasn't really kidding when I said all that stuff about how nice you look"
She then blushed "really?"
"Yea and well... I still... really... like... you..." I did it; I admitted to Gwen my feelings for her.
"What?" she asked again playfully "I didn't quite get that"
"Well I guess I'll have to tell you another way" I said. I wrapped my arm around her waist pulling her as close to my body as possible. I used my other hand and lifted up her chin looking into her eyes. I leaned over to her face and then closed the gap. I was kissing Gwen.
Gwen's P.O.V
Duncan still liked me but I wasn't sure if I liked him back because I needed to know who that person was. Then I felt Duncan's arm wrapping around my waist pulling me closer. Using his other hand he lifted up my chin and leaned closer to my face. I had this really weird déjà vu moment but before I could process it in my head Duncan kissed me.
His lips were soft. It was still déjà vu, I tried to pull away but Duncan pulled me back in with his hand which was behind my head. He finally pulled away from me looking deep into my eyes. Then it clicked, Duncan was the person in my dream. He opened his mouth to say something.
"I love you Gwen" he said.
Just then I knew that Duncan was the person in my dream that I wanted to meet, and I knew that I loved him too, and I knew that he was the one.
