Duncan's P.O.V.

The banging on the door was getting annoying, scratch that, it was annoying! But I didn't want to open the bedroom door. I wanted to stay lying on Will's bed, trying not to think about that what that, that, that, I can't even think of a word to describe him, could be doing to Gwen at that moment in time.

"Duncan, open this God damn door!" I heard Geoff yelling. Geoff's one of my best bud's. He's also dating my irritating cousin, Bridgette. I know most people would find that hard to believe, but to me she's so fake, she's always happy, happy, smiley, smiley. It's not natural. What Geoff see's in her I will never know. Geoff's here on vay kay with us because he's a close family friend, and he might have gone suicidal without Bridgette by his side for eight weeks. He shared a room with Will and I, he had the bottom bunk while I had the top and Will had the single.

"I know your in there!" He shouted. "You'll have to answer this door sometime, dude." I ignored him once again. I didn't want to be around other people, I wanted to be alone. I wanted to just stay in the same spot for the rest of my life. I tried to catch some Z's, but I always imagined Gwen's terrified screams. It was unbearable.

~A Few Days Later~

After my father broke the lock breaking down the bedroom door, I have had no privacy. I tried to take a whiz and Leon came barging in to brush his teeth. It was torture. I didn't want to leave the house, but that stupid sports rally thing was on Monday. So, my dad spent the whole of Sunday coaching us. He used to be on the school Football team when he was in high school, he thought he still had it, he didn't. But I have to say I had a good laugh watching my uncle Jack exercising. I don't think I've ever seen anyone collapse after walking down the steps, I'm dead serious about that too.

Monday morning came and I was awakened by another irritating cousin of mine, Jayme, she waltz into my bedroom and yanked the covers off my bed, then Geoff's, then Will's. I screamed into my pillow out of frustration. I never have been a morning person.

I ran out of the cabin faster than ever and headed straight for the Baker's. I strolled up to their cabin as they were all filing out.

"Hey." I greeted. I hadn't seen Courtney since that day, I could instantly tell she was pissed. I hate it when girls act like that, it pisses me off too.

"Hey, Duncan." Shayne called to me as he came over to Courtney's car where I was standing. I gave him a weak smile. "She told me about your friend." He whispered when he was close enough for no one to hear. I clenched my fist as he said the words. "Seriously, if he shows his face today he's gonna get it, big time."

"Oh, I know he is." I chewed the side of my mouth to stop myself from screaming out.

"Hey, Princess." I said, giving my girlfriend a small wave of my hand.

"What do you want?" She asked, strapping Robin into her car seat.

"We're gonna win." The little girl smiled at me.

"Maybe I'm gonna win." I argued playfully.

"Pa-lease." Stevie chipped in. "We are so gonna kick your a-"

"STEPHANIE!" Her father shouted, glaring at his teenage daughter. I chuckled to myself.

"You were saying?"

"Whatever." I heard Stevie mutter as she climbed into the car parked in front of Courtney's.

Courtney slammed her door shut and turned to me.

"What's with you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"What's with me?" She replied mockingly. "Nothing's wrong with me, you just don't bother to show your face for a bunch of days, making me worry sick about you!" Courtney started to raise her voice, and some of her siblings who were lingering around stared at us.

"I've been in my cabin, I-I've had to think some things through, that's all." I rubbed the back of my neck uneasily.

"Oh, is that all?" She rolled her eyes and took her seat behind the wheel of her car.

Courtney's P.O.V.

"I'll see you there then." Duncan said, turning on his heel and heading presumably back to his cabin. I waited till I could no longer see him before slamming my head hard against the steering wheel. The horn sounded off and I jumped back. I slouched in my seat and groaned. I wasn't in the mood for any of this today. Why had I agreed to take part in sports event thing?

"Will we get a medal if we win?" Robin asked excitedly from the back seat.

"That's why." I answered myself under my breath.

Dani slid into the passenger seat beside me and I only had to look at her face to know she was dead unsure about this. She was about four months gone and it wasn't good for her to be doing this kind of exercise.

"Don't worry." I assured her. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to." Dani gave a queasy smile before letting her already pale face drop. I shook my head and started the engine. I followed Charlie's car from our Cabin to the front offices. We stopped for my dad to talk to Tom about something, I wasn't paying much attention when he explained it all to us.

We then started off again, we passed the old, burnt down cabin and I caught Robin's sad face staring out of the window at it. She was only little, and yet her memories of that place weren't pleasant because of that fire. The police never found the culprit, they gave up after a day. The copes weren't good at their jobs down there, they stopped a search to find a pyromaniac after one day, they let a wife-beater loose after all the evidence was given. The really needed to be replaced.

I pulled up into the car park and everyone jumped out from my car. I locked up before going to join my other siblings who had arrived whilst we waited for the rest of the family to make an appearance. We were all waiting around when the Lewis' pulled up and came rushing over to us. Everyone started mingling and I slid away from the scene. I walked over to the edge of the lake. It was wider down that part of the site, I couldn't see the other side even in the clear day.

It wasn't long before Duncan joined me, along with Bridgette and a boy I hadn't been introduced too, but recognized from the barbecue. He had ear length blond hair and baby blue eyes. He was wearing an open pink shirt and blue shorts that was topped of with a cowboy hat on his head.

We all stood in silence until it was broken by one of the many adults behind us.

"Are you guys ready?" He called.

"Yeah." Bridgette shouted back, and her and the mystery boy ran off.

"We'll be with you in a minute." Duncan called, not taking his eyes of me the entire time. I didn;t want to make eye contact, but he was making it hard for me. I caved and turned to face him. Just as I was about to speak I heard almost silent sobs coming from not that far away. Duncan must have heard them too because he looked up over my shoulder.

We stayed listening for a few moments before Duncan walked past me and down a small slope on the side of the bank. I looked back at my family and they were all still chatting away with Duncan's. I traced my boyfriends steps down the side of the bank and I saw him sitting beside a girl I vauguly knew. She was wearing a long sleeved black top and long black pants. She had her scruffy hair all in her face and was wearing big sunglasses.

I took a seat the other side of her and looked up at Duncan. He didn;t meet my gaze, he kept staring at Gwen. Her sobs were getting louder now, but I doubted anyone would hear over the buzz and excitement from the whole event that was going on.

"Gwen, what's happened?" I asked after waiting a little while to see if she would talk first.

"Y-you w-were r-r-right." Tears leaked from beneath the glasses and she wiped them away hopelessly. She rolled up her sleeves, then her pants bottoms and the removed her sunglasses and pushed back her hair. Her arms and legs weren't pasty anymore, they were covered in deep blue and purple patches. Her face was scared and one of her eyes was swollen a pinky color. The girl was a mess, but I understood everything that had happened.

"I am going to kill that guy." Duncan almost shouted, getting to his feet and kicking a stone into the murky water.

"It's my fault, I should have listened to you." Gwen sniffled.

"It's not your fault." I told her, I was scared to put my arm around her in case I hurt her even more. Looking at the fragile goth I remembered all of the pain I had gone through, it was like it all came flooding back to my body. I was the only one who knew how Gwen truly felt, and it felt awful. Trent was going to get it now.

MUST READ!

A/N: Even after that rant I went on about last chapter, I only got the regular 4 reviews. Not that I am not happy about that, because my regular reviewers are the BEST ever! But I am not going to continue this story until I get 46 reviews. That means TWO more people who haven't reviewed or haven't reviewed in a while, must REVIEW!

So the sooner you review, the sooner you get a new chapter, I think that's fair =]

That's pretty much all I gotta say for now, again idea goes out to .discography. Now that's it.

Thank's for Reading and PLEASE Review!

Love you guys, ChloeRhiannonX x x
