_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sunday morning—or more like afternoon. Gwen didn't budge till at least two in the afternoon. She dressed and left the house. She had to talk Heather out of this, somehow. She took the city bus as close to Heather's house as she could get and then walked two more blocks. She got to the door and sighed.
"Please let this go the way I want it." She said softly to whatever god that might have been listening at the time. She rang the door bell.

The door opened.
"What are you doing here freak?" Heather asked in her bathrobe. Of course Sunday—the day of relaxation as if that wasn't what Heather did constantly.
"I want to talk to you."
"About what?" She asked with a smirk as she put her hand on her hip.
"The pictures." Gwen said softly. Heather huffed, but stepped aside.
"You can come in and negotiate all you want but I'm not making any promises." She said. Gwen walked in and glanced around. It was a beautiful house. Mostly everything was white and looked expensive. She stood out like a sore thumb in her black and green outfit. Heather led her to the living room and sat down in an easy chair, and motioned for Gwen to sit on the couch, which she did. "Talk then." She said.
"Please don't show those pictures to everyone…please, I am begging you Heather. Please."
"And why wouldn't I?" She asked.
"I don't want Courtney to leave Duncan…I really don't. Please I know you hate me—but please don't do this to the others." Gwen begged. How she hated begging, especially to that bitch, but—but she had no choice. Heather eyed her.
"I'll think about it. Like I said I'm not making any promises." She said with a smirk. Gwen nodded. "Alright." She got up and left Heather's house.

Her phone went off.
"Hello?"
"Hey beautiful." It wasn't Trent though.
"Duncan, really come up with something else to call me, it's like you're mocking Trent."

He laughed. "I know, I know. What're you up to?"
"Just got done begging Heather."
"…begging her? Gwen—that's not like you."
"Yeah, I know, but I had no other choice."
"What did she say?"
"She said she'd think about it but doesn't promise anything." She sighed unhappy.
"Well, we'll know Monday morning." Duncan said.
"…Trent gave me a promise ring yesterday at the beach." She blurted.
"Oh?"
"Yeah. He's going to be so pissed." She said biting her lip to trying to not let Duncan know how upset she was.
"Look, I have an idea. Swing by my place tonight."
"Okay…I'll be there around 7." And they hung up. She half wondered what he had up his sleeve and she half didn't even want to know.

At seven sharp Gwen arrived at Duncan's house. He let her in and took her straight to his room.
"Okay, this is the plan." He said sitting down on his bed. Gwen blinked and sat down. "We're going to break into Heather's house."
"WHAT!?" Gwen yelled.
"Wait, wait I'm not done explaining." He said. "We're going to break into her house, delete all of the pictures from her computer, phone, and camera. And if by chances she has some already printed out, we'll take those and burn them. That way we'll be safe."

Gwen bit her lip.
"We could—"
"I know, get arrested." He said. "This is up to you. Do you want to save your relationship with Trent?" He asked. "Does that promise ring really mean a lot to you?" Gwen watched him. He was so serious about this. She smiled and nodded.
"Yes. Lets do this." She said standing up.
"You know what this means, right?" He asked also getting up. She turned toward him. "You and me are never ever going to risk our relationships again."

Gwen nodded. "I understand. I think it's best for us. Because while we like each other—a lot." She laughed some. "We love other people, and they're the ones we need to be with."

Duncan smiled. "Okay then. Let me get my supplies." He said reaching under his bed and pulling out a small box.
"What's in there?"
"Well, lock picks." He said holding them up. "We'll need them. Does Heather have trees outside her room?"
"I—I don't know."
"Okay to play it safe we'll go in through the front door. Don't wear any shoes. Don't need to leave behind footprints."

Gwen couldn't believe she was doing this. It had to be done tonight too, since tomorrow was Monday. She looked down at her promise ring. She smiled at it. It gave her strength. She didn't want to hurt Trent again. She couldn't.

After Gwen briefing Duncan on how the living room looked they set out. Mini flashlights tucked in their pockets. They took the city bus and walked the two blocks and waiting till they saw the light in Heather's bedroom go off, and then for the lights in the house to go off. Duncan forced Gwen to wait another hour to make sure everyone was asleep. It was about 11:30PM now.

They crept up to the front door and Duncan kneeled down and pulled out his lock pick and started fiddling with the lock. Gwen was holding the flashlight over the lock and after about three minutes the lock popped and the door opened slightly.
"Yes." Duncan smiled proud of himself.

The two of them were in. Their shoes they left down at the corner behind a bush. They made their way through the living room and up the staircase. They peeked in each room trying to find Heather's and of course, it had to be the very last one. Gwen took a deep breath and followed Duncan inside. He looked so comfortable just walking around in her house. But then again he was used to all of this kind of stuff. She was scared to death. This was one story she'd never ever tell her kids.
"Check her phone, I got the computer." He whispered as they split up.

Gwen went to the nightstand and barely held the mini flashlight up, in fear of waking up Heather, who had her back to her and was fast asleep, a mask even over her eyes. Gwen picked up her phone, clicked the sound button so the phone wouldn't make a peep when she started pressing buttons. First Gwen went and deleted all the incriminating text messages and then went for the pictures and one by one they were gone. She quietly set the phone back down. She gasped some as she heard the bed move and Heather rolled over. Gwen put her hand on her mouth and clicked off her flashlight. But since she had the eye mask on Heather didn't notice a thing and only pulled the sheets over her shoulders and continued to sleep.

She rushed over to Duncan who was clicking around through the files.
"You know what I think I'm going to do?" He whispered to her.
"What?"
"This." He typed a little bit and suddenly a blue screen popped up and Duncan typed in a few more things and the screen went black.
"What did you do?" She whispered.
"Made it crash." He said softly.
"So she lost everything?"
"Everything." He grinned. Gwen smiled. "Okay, now look around for the pictures." He said as he got up and started to search. Gwen was slowly becoming more comfortable walking around the other girls room. She picked up her book-bag and reached in and felt a thick stack of something. She pulled it out and shown her flashlight on it, and sure enough, it was the pictures. She smiled.
"I got them, lets get out of here." She whispered as she came up to Duncan.
"Wait one sec…" Duncan whispered as he played a little more with Heather's digital camera. "Just a few more…" He sighed and hit delete for the last time. "Okay, let's go."

Quickly they took two stairs at a time, slipped outside, closed the front door and Duncan locked it and the two ran down the sidewalk to the corner, put their shoes back on and started the VERY long walk home.
"I can't believe she had this all ready to go." Gwen said looking at the pictures in her hands.
"I'm glad we decided to do this. We're both safe now." He said smiling.
"Yeah." She laughed. "We did it!" She high fived him.
"Everything is going to be just fine for us now." Duncan said nodding.
"Yeah. No more stupid ideas, from now on we're just friends." Gwen said.
"Wait—" He kissed her. "Okay now, from now on we're just friends."

Gwen laughed and nodded. She squeezed her left hand in a tight fist, letting the promise ring dig into her finger. It made her feel good.

Sure in a way they had done this to save their own asses, but in another way they just proved what was more important to them. The people they loved. Sure their little fling had been fun, but Gwen had to admit no one could compare to Trent and she knew even though Duncan liked her, she didn't compare to Courtney and she was fine with it. She was just happy to go to school tomorrow and see Trent and continue a happy relationship.
