Total Drama Island

A Dark Place . . .

I couldnt hear anything . . . I could see everyone trying to talk to me but i couldnt hear anything. My mom. My Mother. Didnt make it?

"S-She died?' i felt my legs start to shake.

"Im so sorry Lu." Chris says placing a hand on my shoulder. I felt my legs give out and i started to fall back. I felt a few par of hands get me before i could really fall.

"Im going to get Duncan!" Bridget says running off.

"Luna we need you to pack your bags." Chris says helping me stand. "Luna?"

"We will take her and help her get her stuff." Gwen says pulling me away.

It was hard for them to get me to the cabin since i didnt really know what to do. I kept stopping hoping to hear someone say it was a sick joke. That never came. When we got to the cabin everything started to set in. "I need to be alone guys." i say getting control over my body again and walking up the steps.

"Are you sure?" Lashawna asked.

"Yea." i then closed the doors to the empty cabin I quickly packed my bags and every second that passed it started to sink in more and more. I felt my body shaking and my eyes started to sting as tears start to form. It only tock me a moment to get my stuff and i was back out the door. I ran down to the Docks waiting for the boat as everyone stood around not sure what to do. Gwen and Lawshana gave me a hug along with the rest of my team. When i came up to Bridget she hugged me the longest.

"Duncan should be here any minute." she says after letting me go. Thats when the boats pulls up. I placed my bags in the boats and was about to get in when-

"Luna!" i spun around seeing Duncan running at me. I felt all my emotions hit me at once and i sprinted at him as the tears started to fall. I collided with Duncan and we wrapped our arms around each other. I hid my face into his chest and he held me tightly.

"Duncan . . . my mom she-"

"I know." he says in the side of my neck. "You're going to be ok."

I hugged him tighter. "I feel like my world is crashing around me." i cry.

Duncan pulled me out of his chest and cupped my face. "Im not going to let your world fall apart. If you fall apart then my world falls apart." he wiped a tear that fell with his thumb.

I felt more tears fall, "Luna its time to go." Chris says from beside the boat.

Duncan pulled me into one last tight hug before giving my a long kiss. "Im going to win for us. I will see you again." i nodded as he gave me another kiss. "Here." He reached into his pocket and pulled something out. It was a small skull carving. "Dont forget about me ok."

"Never." i say giving him another kiss. I gave him another kiss before turning my back to him. I ran at the boat and onto the boat un-able to look back. As the boat was leaving, forced my self to turn and get one last look of my friends. They all stood there waving. My eyes landed on Duncan who could only watch me leave him behind. I placed my hand over my heart. I couldnt tell if it was even beating anymore. I was losing everything. Everyone i was close to. I placed Duncans gift into my bag and cried till we were back on land. I was driven to my mothers Doctors where he told me she passed in her sleep.

Doctor Lee walked me to the back where they held the body till the final papers were signed. I walked in and there was a sheet over my mothers body. When Doctor Lee pulled back the sheet my worst nightmare had came true. She was so . . . so pale. Her lips blue. She seemed so at peace, like she was sleeping, with nothing to worry about. Tears started to fall again as Lee placed the sheet back down.

"Did she suffer?" i ask once we were back in his office.

"No." he said making me a coffee.

"I . . .I have to get everything ready so i can put her at rest." Lee walked over and passed me my drink.

"You dont have to worry about any of that." he says sitting back down in his chair.

"Why not? Im her only family left." i slouched into the back of my seat. "If i sell some of my stuff and pull all the money that I-"

"Im paying for her funeral Luna." he suddenly says.

"What?" I placed my drink down. "Doctor Lee I cant ask you to do that."

"Your not." he take a sip from his drink. "She wasnt just a patient to me. She was a vary close friend. A friend that helped me in my darkest times." He looked at me over his drink. "Now its my turn to help in her darkest times. I even tried to pay for her sugary but she. . ." he stopped to take a breath. I could see tears forming in his eyes. "She refused."

"Doctor Lee. . . I-"

"Its final. i think you should get home now. Its late. I already reached out to a few of our old friends and already got everything planed. A Cab will pick you up tomorrow at 10." He stood and walked over to me. When i stood Lee pulled me into a hug.
"Im sorry Luna. . ."

"Yea . . .me too . ."

I was sent home by cab, and when i walked into the house i was truly alone. I dropped my stuff by my bedroom door and sat on my bed. It was so quiet . It felt so empty. I didnt know what to do with my self. I tried not to think of my mom sitting in the other room, and Duncan came into mind. I missed him too. I felt like i lost 2 people in 1 day. I reached for my bad and pulled out the skull he made me. It fit in the palm of my hand. I ran my thumb over it feeling the tears coming again.

I felt something on the back of the gift when i wss about to put it down. I turned it around to see something carved in the back. In vary small letters was 3 words, 'Duncan loves Luna'. I hugged the gift to my chest and laid down on my bed missing him even more. The rest of the night my mind kept jumping from Duncan to my mother.

The next day i stood at my mothers fresh grave. The funeral felt so un real. So meny people came to morn over my mother. People i didnt even know. They all shared storied over my mother and it made me feel a little better knowing my mother had so meny people that looked out for her. It wormed my heart seeing how meny people my mother befriended.

Now everyone was gone and it was just me and my mothers grave. "Luna." i turned to see Lee walking up.

"Hi Doctor Lee. Thank you so much for all that you've done for her." i say giving a sad smile to him.

He gave me a small smile. "There is just one thing left i have to do." he held out a small envelope to me. "She asked me to give this to you after her funeral."

I slowly grabbed the note from him and he walked away to leave me to my self. I pulled the letter from the envelop and unfolded the paper. I instantly saw my mothers hand writing.

"Dear my Beautiful Daughter,
I am so proud of you and the wonderful women you have become. You have so much to look forword to, and i wish i could be there for you in person. But i feel my time is coming. I know you are going to be taken care of. I have been saving for years for this day ever since we first got the news. Please dont be angry. I choise not to get the sugary, because i wanted to make sure you had a future. I left everything i had to you. There should be enough money for school and anything you could passably need. That young man seems to likes you alot, he seems like a sweet man who's fallen in love. Im glad you had let others in your heart. Im sorry to leave you so early, but im ready to move on. I love you, so, so much Luna. Never forget that.
Love, mom."

I looked at the paper for another moment feeling the hot tears that i didnt know where left run down my face. She did all this for me, but it still hurts to know she's not here with me. When i got home i just sat on the sofa looking at the blank tv. I then hear the mail fall to the floor thru the mail slot. I slowly got up and walked over and picked up the vary small pile. I picked up the single letter that was addressed to me. I sat back down and opened the letter. It was a letter stating that i am now in charge of my mothers property. The house, the car, everything was mine. She signed over her accounts to me, and it showed me all the money she had left me. There was enough money to put me through collage and more, like she promised.

My phone then started to go off then. "Hello?" i say once i answer.

"Luna. It's Chris McClain."
