There we were. Re-united once again. It felt like everything was how it was suppose to be. But of course there was a problem. A man in a white tux walked over to us and instantly I knew something was wrong. He pulled out a paper from this back pocket and gave us a frown. "Are you two Gwendolyn and Duncan?" he said looking down at the paper. "Yeah, is there something wrong?" Gwen answered. "It says here that you both killed yourselves, is this correct?" the man said looking up to us. "That would be correct. Why?" I replied.

"We are sad to say that due to you both ending your lives we cannot place you in heaven" the man took out some glasses and put it on. "However, we cannot place you both in hell either at the moment." he added. I was completely confused, if we weren't going to heaven and we weren't going to hell. Then where the hell are we suppose to go? "Satan said he didn't want BOTH of you in there together, however he would take one of you, he hasn't decided which one of you he will take so as of now you both can wonder around the earth if you'd like, and we will get back to you as soon as possible." Gwen and I looked at each other puzzled, not really sure what to say or do. I ended my life so I could spend eternity with Gwen, and now Satan can't even help us out. It was quiet for a moment then Gwen asked the man a question. "What happens to the person that Satan doesn't choose?" then man took a deep breath then responded saying, "Well their memory will be wiped clean and they'll go back to earth so live an entirely new life."

So If I go to hell then Gwen will be sent back to earth, find a whole new lover, and i'll be forgotten. But if I don't go to hell Gwen will spend eternity suffering. This was going to be a complete disaster. The man walked away and soon disappeared. Gwen and I locked eyes, I wasn't sure what to tell her now. Either way this was going to end in tragedy. "Let's go see how everyone's doing without us doll face" I told her putting my arm around her shoulder. I had remembered what my dad always told me as a kid 'if you're ever in a bad situation always remember there will always be a little light in it'. So yeah, we were going to be separated but we still had a while until they came to a conclusion on what would happen. Why take that for granted?

-Gwen's POV-

I was completely losing my mind, we were going to be separated. AGAIN! But this time for good... why couldn't i just have stayed alive and not be so stupid. I thought to myself. I was ready to cry my eyes out but the touch of Duncan's arm around my shoulder brought me closure, I felt like nothing could hurt me. Yes that was far from true but, I found my happy place, and that was with him.

Duncan took my hand and we entered this elevator labeled "back to earth" and pressed the lobby button. Moments later we we taken to Duncan's room where he had killed himself. Seeing all the blood that was filled in the room made me depressed. Although he was right next to me I couldn't shake the feeling of regret. This all could have turned out so much more differently than it had if I would've just lived my life and not have been so attached to Duncan. But what was done, was done, and there is nothing that I could do to change the past and that is something I am forced to accept.

Duncan must've seen the pain in my eyes because he immediately wrapped his arms around me and told me it would all be okay. Did I believe him? Not for a second! But I wasn't going to waste the small amount of time that we have being sad. "Let's just get out of here" I said taking him by the hand and walking to the front door. "Where do you plan on going?" Duncan said as we stopped in front of the door. "We could pass by our high school" I said with a shrug. He kissed me on the forehead and told me it was fine with him. I went to turn the doorknob but my hand went right through it. Of course like most teens would do I screamed. "Oh my god what happened to the other half of my hand!!" I shrieked. Duncan seemed to have thought it was funny and laugh. I gave him a glare, "Oh you think this is funny?" I said before pushing him through the door.

"Oh that's right we're ghosts!" I thought to myself, this is going to be fun. I ran through the door and made my way to our old high school, Duncan chased after me. "You might want to keep up you sloth" I said as I walked through the wall and into the cafeteria. "So what do you plan on doing now?" Duncan whispered. "Watch" I told him as I spotted Courtney sitting in the same table she use to sit in with Duncan, but this time she was sitting next to Trent holding his hand under the table. I walked behind her and pulled her hair.

"Trent!" she screamed giving Trent a death stare. "What did I do now?" he sighed, "Don't play dumb, you know i hate it when you act stupid" Courtney said rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. "I seriously haven't even done anything to you" Trent said standing up and accidentally knocking milk over onto Courtney. Courtney got up and screamed of frustration as she stormed off heading towards the bathroom. Heather laughed as Bridgett told Trent that he may want to go check up on her. Trent put his palm to his head and sighed again, "This bitch really is crazy" he whispered walking behind her.

"I really dodged a bullet breaking up with her" Duncan said laughing behind me. "Yet you still dated her" I said punching his arm playfully. "I love you Gwendolyn" he said smiling down at me and kissing my forehead softly. "I love you too stupid" I said hugging him tightly.
