courtney
I arrived at the restaurant eager to patch things up with Duncan precisely at 10 on the dot. I perked up when I heard the majestic chimes of the door. This was it. This whole thing could brush over.  I quirked my eyebrows when I saw Justin's face. What the hell? He scanned the room like he owned the place. Fucking jackass. "Fancy seeing you here Courtney" he said in his natural cocky tone. "Justin what do you want?" I had an attitude. It was 10 am and I had no tolerance for anyone who wasn't Duncan. "Two drinks please" he clicked at the waitress. Ew. "Oh no it's ok I'm not staying" I failed at attempting to make an escape when he grabbed my arm. "Look Justin this isn't a good time-" I was trying to be polite as possible. I was cut off when I heard the door chimes ring. It was Duncan. He was obviously ordering a drink on the other side of the bar because he thankfully didn't see me.

I tried making an escape from Justin's embrace when Duncan looked my way. Fuck. "Here to enjoy the show or-" Justin retorted.

"I knew it". Duncan grabbed his keys and phone and left.
"WHAT THE FUCK JUSTIN?" "whatever do you mean?" *insert 😏 emoji* "I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS A COINCIDENCE BUT I TRIED LEAVING AND YOU GRABBED ME!" I stole the closest drink in sight. My neighbour Steven's drink who happened to be there. A bit on the bigger side with a terrible attitude but that's beside the point.

I threw his drink at him with the additional bitch slap. I was so angry. The plan was to track down Duncan and explain everything . This was delayed when Steve opened his never ending mouth. "oi watch it" "sorry" I gave him a pathetic smile. "You better buy me a new drink" "of course!".

I dropped my card when a tribe of people crashed into me. "50% OFF ON PANCAKES!" a loser type employee yelled. "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING" I thought in my head. I scrambled around for my credit card. After I finally got it back after the stampede of strangers left it had hit 10:15. Just my luck. I paid for the drink and left. The sky had cleared up after the rain yesterday afternoon which made it a breeze to get to my car. I made it to Duncan's house and greeted his mum, dad and little sister. They've always loved me.

"Hey Maria do you have any idea where your son is?" I politely asked after checking his room. "No honey sorry, I thought he was with you". "Oh there's been a change of plans". I painted on a weak smile and went back to my hunt.
I knew that heather was hanging with Alejandro so I had to call her and find where Duncan was.
I was almost melting waiting for heather to pick up.
"Yes"
"Heather are you with Alejandro right now?"
"um I'm kind of busy"
"Can you just put him on the phone"
"Why, oh my God, Duncan did something didn't he. Stay where you are-"
"Heather just put him on the phone"
"Alright, alright"
...."ah yes, hello Courtney how are you?"
"Not that good, do you know where Duncan is?"
"Wow what a great way to great a gentleman"
"Alejandro just tell me"
"Alright ill track him down"
"And I thought I was clingy"
I rolled my eyes
"Ok so he's at 19 James street"
"Wait that's on the other side of town!"
"Your welcome"
"Thank you Alejandro"
I ended the call. Who's house is this? It's not Geoff's and it's definitely not Owen's or DJ's the only other person he tolerated was...... fuck.

The worst possible thoughts drowned my mind. Why was this happening to me? I'm an amazing girlfriend! I put up with his pointless childish activities every single day! I can't believe I'm driving across town for him! I literally still have chemistry and business homework to attend! What a Neanderthal. I needed to relax. No good to drive under stress. I knew that from experience.

After half an hour of driving I reached the house. It was a reasonably clean one. A few cracks in the wall but nice interior. It had felt like a good three minutes observing this new environment until my train of thought was stopped in it's tracks. Noise. And if I wasn't mistaken, which I wasn't, it was coming from the upstairs bedroom. Oh no.

I walked into the room, not bothering to knock. Oh how I wish I did.
And there it was. Duncan in someone else's bed. Gwen's bed. I couldn't believe my eyes. My vision became blurry and my lips began to quiver. "You know what, FUCK THIS" I spat at them. How dare they. I could see Gwen's face become flushed. "You told me you were broken up!" Gwen said to him. She sounded angry. I don't really care though because I've always hated Gwen and I didn't see my plan changing especially now.

"Courtney!" Duncan yelled. "NO, I DROVE ACROSS DOWN, BOTHERED MY FRIENDS, PROBABLY NO LONGER YOURS AFTER THEY FOUND OUT WHAT YOU AND GOTHY DID, SKIPPED HOMEWORK, AND THREW A DRINK ON JUSTIN FOR YOU! ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT YOU'RE IN BED WITH SOME HOME WRECKER!"
"Look I'm sorry"
"SORRY? SORRY? SORRY DOESN'T DO SHIT DUNCAN! WE'RE DONE!"
"What?" he asked in a shy tone.
"ITS OVER"
"Wait we can fix this-"
"NO IM FINISHED"
I looked at the half naked goth on the sheets.
"OH AND FOR YOU, HAVE SOME DIGNITY FOR GOD'S SAKE" I barcked at her.
"Goodbye Duncan".

He looked as if he was about to cry. I didn't care. I shut her door and left. As soon as I stepped into the car I sobbed. Oh how I sobbed.

a/n please ignore how badly this was written I just finished THAT world tour episode and I'm trying to cut to the point of this chapter 😤🤝
