A Walk to Remember

Hey yall! Well this story is going to be based on the book A Walk to Remember and if you haven't read it, you really should check it out. Some things will be different and some will be the same. But anyway I'm going to try and update as quickly as I can but it will probably be a little bit before I can cause I have TONS of homework pretty much every night. But like I said I'll try. Anyway the POV of this story will probably be different each chapter, but it will always be either Duncan or Courtney. Anyway here we go!

I'm Duncan Carter, and this is my story. During my senior year of high school, my life changed forever. Looking back forty years later I realize how lucky I was.

I grew up in North Carolina. When I was three my father left my mother. I remember how much I couldn't stand him for it. He would try over and over to contact me, but I'd refuse to listen to him.

When I was sixteen, I earned myself the rep as a delinquent. I even lost my girlfriend since freshman year. It was the beginning of my junior year and I was invited to this party. I arrived there with my girlfriend at the time, Gwen. I got so drunk that I ended up yelling at Gwen and she dumped me. After that I began doing a number of wrong things. I was stealing cars, partying, and drinking regularly.

"Geoff, dude is Gwen really inviting that poser boyfriend of hers to hang with us tonight?" I yelled into my cell phone

"Yeah, and he's actually and alright guy."

"Whatever man the guy seems like a straight up fag."

We were standing on the bridge that was above the lake waiting for Bridgett, Gwen and her new "boyfriend" to arrive. I had a pretty good idea of a prank to play on Gwen's boyfriend but I didn't mention it to Geoff, Bridgett's got him so whipped it's not even funny.

"Hey Bridge!" Geoff said smiling and kissed her cheek. They make me so sick. As I was thinking this I saw Gwen walking towards holding hands with Trent. The plan was about to begin.

"Gwen, Trent, hey!" I said giving them both a high five.

"Hey." They replied at the same time. Geoff and Bridgett were to busy talking they didn't even seem to notice that Gwen and Trent were even here.

"So Trent, I was thinking of jumping off the bridge, you in?" I asked trying to hide my smirk.

"Um are you sure it's safe?" Trent asked stuttering.

"Positive man, come on let's do it!" I said pulling my black skull shirt off.

"Trent, you don't need to do this it's stupid." Gwen said pulling on his arm with a worried expression on her face. I had no idea what someone as hot as Gwen saw in a such a dork like him.

"Gwen relax, I'll be fine." He reassured her kissing her forehead.

"Okay then." She said as he pulled his freaking ugly green cameo shirt off.

"Alright, Duncan let's do this." Trent said walking towards me.

"Yeah let's go. In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" And then Trent jumped off the bridge. And I didn't.

"Duncan!!!" Gwen said running towards me.

"Dude, not cool." Geoff said.

"Oh my gosh, Duncan he's not moving!!!" Gwen said running off the bridge.

"Oh come on Gwen, he'll be fine." Either she was ignoring me or she didn't hear me. I watched her as she ran into the water and began pulling Trent out of the lake. He wasn't moving. Then she pulled out her cell phone and I'm guessing she called 911 because an ambulance showed up minutes later.

"Crap, guys I'm out of here later." I said running to my truck.

"Your not even going to stay and make sure he's okay?" Bridgett asked me.

"Not my problem."

Okay this probably really sucked. But hey maybe not. Review and let me know! I accept criticism but please don't be mean or rude. Thanks for reading! Review! Lots of love, ashbash13
