Duncan's POV

10:00 PM

Lightly smiling at Courntey I greeted " Hi "

Holding the door and looking surprised at me Courtney was unsure of what to say.

" Duncan," she says in a soft voice " what are you doing here at this hour? " tucking her hair back.

Heavily exhaling I keep eye contact " I'm sorry for showing up at your door this late and not even calling for days but "Watching her step out a bit from the apartment she looked worried "Are you okay? " she asked concerned.

That's it...that's it she answered it for me.

Closing my eyes I spoke what I could never say" I'm not okay " trying to compose myself in front of her but I'm unable to not after what happened tonight.

God, I must look so pathetic right now that Courtney must be thinking I'm weak.

So distracted by my judgement I didn't feel arms around my neck and flesh being pressed against my cheek.

" Breathe Duncan just breathe, " says her voice "It's okay " she was trying to comfort me.

Reopening my eyes I slowly start breathing again followed by wrapping my arms around her small waist, pressing her body against mine.

What would I do without having someone like her in my life?

Apart from my mom and friends, no one would show me this kind of affection.

" Come inside," she says turning her gaze at me while caressing my cheek which I gotta admit was making my knees weak.

After agreeing we went into her apartment, she said to make myself at home followed by offering me hot chocolate once we had a mug each we sat and drank while I told her everything that happened tonight.

I had to revise all of it. From why I bailed the other night; the major issues I was having; How I'm not being trusted; how I'm being seen as irresponsible and lastly the big fight I had with my dad along with threatening and cursing him.

Sighing again I stare into the mug swirling half the hot chocolate.

" After I left I went for a walk for who knows how long and I ended up here " I explain squinting my eyes and preventing them from glowing " Tonight was my boiling point with everything and everyone but mostly with that old bastard whose blood I have " I add controlling my strength so I don't break the mug.

" I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, " said Courtney sounding hurt; turning my head I saw her staring at the mug with an expression that looked as if she was going to cry " But Duncan you can't be like this to your dad, " she says.

Putting my mug on the coffee table before standing up I walk to the other side and pace a bit.

" I get where you're coming from but you wouldn't understand what that man made me go through...it was nothing but orders...expectations...taking on roles I was forced to step into " I hissed turning away so she didn't see my eyes glow.

" And that is barely half of it...days...weeks...months and years of intense hard training " I growl getting images in my head " all to either see me fall or destroy me physically and mentally but I showed that bastard and because of him I'm scarred...permanently ".
