Story: Confessions of a Broken Heart

Chapter Eight : Resistance At A Critical Low

By:TwistedXmo

Those hours of darkness, wrestling with Duncan. Him pinning me down with all his mass. Are faces so locked on each other, holding back are laughs. Never have I felt this tension. That beat of my heart, going so fast. I wanted to faint at this moment of us about to kiss.

Of course something had to prevent us. It was faith yelling and screaming at Duncan and me. We're best friends. Hell, he will always be my best friend. That's why; we weren't allowed to do that.

His phone was ringing so loud I can practically hear her screaming at us. I sighed and looked the other way as Duncan missed my lips and kissed my cheek. "Damn" Duncan muttered under his breath.

I jumped out his bed and went over to the counter and read in big bold red letters. "Princess." I walked over back to Duncan; he was already shaking his head.

"Ah just ignore it." I quickly didn't listen to Duncan's comment and flipped his phone open. I placed it on his lap as his eyes were popping out of his head, so confused at what was going on. "I'm going to see f Trent's alright." Surly enough Courtney responded before Duncan even did. "What's Gwen doing with you Dunky? You better answer mister!" I left the room without even looking at Duncan. I notice the door was unlocked so I hurried and ran to it. As soon as I left the room I heard Duncan speak.

"Courtney." He whined. He might get back with her, who knows, I don't really even care, why should I? I just want Duncan to be happy, after all, he is my best friend.

I looked over at the nurses who pushed e in; they all knew what I wanted. They pointed me down the hall as I pasted my steps and walked in his room. Trent, he was passed out. I.V into his now pale skin, I wanted to cry, I notice him without a shirt and a big wrapped up towel tightly around his chest, he got shot. I wanted to cry so bad and hug him, but he looked so broken, I couldn't even look at him without seeing so much pain. "Trent." I softly spoke.

I gazed at him, scared for his life. I can tell Trent was scared in his sleep. Probably thinking he can't never wake up. I couldn't even sit down next to him on his bed like I did with Duncan. He was to hurt.

I saw the cut and bruises as I softly brushed my hand against his right cheek. I felt the pain as Trent shit his eyes tighter. "Sorry." I whispered as I took my seat waiting and waiting to see those green eyes of his.

Duncan's point of view;

"I'm going to see if Trent's alright." I was about to speak but no other then the beast herself decide to speak over it. "What's Gwen doing with you Dunky? You better answer mister!" I watched Gwen left the room without even looking at me. "Courtney," I sighed. Should I do this? I was so close to kissing those teal dark lips. I wanted to hurry and crash my lips on to hers but there was so many things that was wrong with that idea.

She was dating Trent. I just realized how much I like her again. Yet, I still was into Courtney also; me and Gwen are best friends. But damn, did I and still do have a crush on her. Since she pushed me off her bike when we was eight. What? Seeing girls getting pissed off was a turn on. You can see why I was into Courtney. Also you had seen how bad we were for each other.

Gwen was the one to even me out. When I was pissed off at the world she showed me a peaceful balance in me and help me relax. She makes me laugh at all the pranks we do and the smart ass comments. She was a person who made me feel like jello and became a total sap once I seen the water coming out of her beautiful eyes. She was all I wanted all I needed nobody couldn't change my mind, not even the C.I.T herself.

"Duncan, Duncan!" I heard that voice that dragged me out of me day dreaming staring back into the phone. "Courtney, I'm over you, I never want to get back together, you're just… too much to handle for me." I spoke. For once she didn't speak, I dono if that was a good thing or bad.

"What?" she asked flatly with no hint of sadness, more of the hint of pissed off I'm going to kill you in your sleep.

"I've moved on Courtney, you need to too." She began laughing like some crazy psycho. "Oh please who in the hell could you have moved on with? I mean look at me, I'm the best you got Duncan."

She was screaming at me for me to say it. "Duncan, nobody wants you. You're a total jerk, you stink you aren't even hot, you don't have the fittest body, your slow, stupid, a total dick head that no girl could ever wan-" I couldn't take it anymore. I blew up.

"You know what! Gwen doesn't see me like that. She's the one I want. I'm in love with Gwen, not you. You creedy, uptight, A class, piece of shit."

"Whatever screw you Duncan, Your never going to find someone like me!" she yelled. I began laughing. "Really? Oh thank god." She gasped and I hurried and shut the phone.

I remember us fighting but that really pushed me off the edged, off my limits. I was so done with Courtney, it wasn't even funny anymore. It became more draining and annoying.

The nurse walked in. Trust me she wasn't hot, more like in her 30's. "Hey grandma." I teased as she rolled her eyes. "Ah Duncan, you sure haven't changed." I took a second glance at her. "Um, do I know you?" She laughed. "You should, I'm nurse Mariah." Oh god. I thought. That was a hot ass nurse. Me and my brothers would always flirt with her, ew she really let herself go, if you know what I mean.

"So Duncan, what did you and your brainless brothers do? Play Russian roulette?" she looked at my wound of the gun and rolls her eyes.

"No, I had to save a friends life." "I thought you only cared about your life?" she asked as she shoved the needle into my skin, o teased up at that. I shook my head. "She's different." "And who is this she?" she asked as she place a band aid on my arm. "Gwen." Her eyes widen. "Oh, Gwen thought moved?" "Came back." I laid back down onto the bed, as she giggled. Didn't know 30 year old women can giggle.

"You have been in love with her since you were eight my boy." I started laughing at the dumb nurse."Oh please, ha ha love? I'm pretty sure no." "Whatever makes you feel better to say." She sang as she was walking away. "Wait!" I yelled she turned around and waiting for me to speak once more. "What room is Trent in?"

"Oh, is he your friend also?" she asked with a eye brow raised. I laughed once more. "Not really."

"It's room D-12, but you can't go in there, only one person may be in there. Trent is really hurt, besides you can't even get up." I narrow my eyes at the wound. "All I need is those stupid crunches." "I said no." she said and left slamming the door. Even back then when she was hot, she was a total bitch.

During the rest of the day, my parents came by asking me a million questions about Jon walker. "I'm telling you. All I know is that he works at the auto shop by the school, lives right next door to us, and is a total psycho for trying to kill Gwen!" "Where's Gwen?" my ma asked worried. "She's with her boyfriend right now, I'll have her call you guys later." I hated saying that she was with her boyfriend at the time, why is Trent with Gwen? He doesn't even know her. MY father nodded because he knew I wasn't going to talk anymore.

As they left Geoff and Dj came by letting me know the whole school found out about this, great. Also they heard some rumors that Courtney snapped during math class and broke everything in the class room and got sent home and even got suspended. That was a rumor so maybe is wasn't real? Fuck its real, I mean have you not seen Courtney?

I glanced over the clock reading it was eleven and notice it was the time me and Gwen had our pointless talks. So I crawled out of bed and grabbed some crunches so I can see Gwen. I knew she would be awake, and still be here. I know my best friend more than anything.

Gwen's point of View;

I couldn't sleep. They even got me a bed for his room, but I couldn't even yawn. I looked over at Trent, my soon to be ex boyfriend. I can't be with a guy I lost all my love with, I don't work that way. I suddenly heard my wrist watch beeping as I smiled. "Eleven." That is me and Duncan time.

How can two people have a time? It was just ours. Trent's still hasn't even woken. Which scared me a lot but the doctor told me that Trent was just super tired. But then why did Duncan have so much energy and sprit when I was walking to him? Again, a answer that I'll never know.

As if Duncan knew I was thinking about him. He opens Trent's door and notice me still awake as we both smiled at one another. "Hey it's good to.." "Oh I can't believe.." we both stop at what we was saying and both of are smiles got even wider. Duncan placed a sit right across from mine. "Let me go first." He started. "I don't know what to really say, but Gwen. How do you really feel about me?" ok did he seriously just asked that pretty quick.

I tensed up. "Duncan you have Courtney. I have Trent. Why can't we leave it that way?" "Because... I'm falling for you." He shared. He looked around and smiled. "I don't want to be with Courtney forever."

I started laughing after that. "True, you would only live up till you're at least 20 and then maybe kill yourself." We both shared a laugh as Duncan did a big out loud sigh. "See that's why I like you." I smiled at him and said. "Of course that's what best friends are for." I knew I would be pushing Duncan away from what I spoke of.

"Friends? Come on Care bear you know there something more than just friends." "Best friends?" I asked stupidly. Duncan knew he could flirt he's way with me, but it wasn't going to be easy. Duncan held his hand out as I stared blankly at it. "Come on." He said yanking my arm out of the room. We left the room and stood outside in the dark hallway with a tiny light flickering on top of us. He was still holding his crunches as he moved closer and closer to me as I back away on to the all and stared up at him smiling down at me.

"There would be nobody I would risk my life for, don't cha see? I'm crazy for you." He said. "Ha, you're crazy all right." I tried to make this all friendship at possible but it wasn't working, Duncan wanted more than that, I did too, but I was scared. I looked up seeing his face like wonders. It was blissful. His lips looked so… tasty. Was it wrong thinking like this other to Trent being in the room next door? I grasped Duncan's hand as I left sparks, it was unreal to even speak about it.

I looked scared at Duncan as he gave me the same look. "Di-did y-yo-you?" I stuttered as Duncan stuttered back. "Fe-fe-feel th-tho-se…?" he spat back at me as I smiled.

I slowly gasp Duncan's body as he placed his hand on my waist. He still had his crunches on but I felt his hands the most. We looked at each other as are lips was only a inch apart. "There no going back." Duncan whispered as I felt his icy cool breath hit mine. "Then don't look back then." I whispered. I didn't want Duncan ever going back to Courtney nor did I ever want to get back with Trent, there done and over with… I hope.

We closed the gap for no more walking and it was a soft tenderhearted kiss ever, it felt like those movies, I knew Duncan since I was eight and never knew how great his lips felt on mine, it was the best feeling I can ever want, and need.

We both away staring into our eyes with trying to find the words we just felt. We finally both said it at the same time, breathlessly. "I love you."

Untill next time= ) REVIEW
