"Where is she? Where the hell is she?!" The nurse looked at the woman scared leaning far back from her. "Ma'am, I don't know who she is." Alejandro steppes infront of the blonde as Heather and Geoff attempted to calm her down. "So sorry about her. You know some people handle stress differently. We need Duncan Nelson's room, his fiancé should already be back there." The nurse nodded smiling at the Latino as she looked at a chart. "He is in room 58, just follow the signs." He nodded and began to lead the three to where Duncan was. Courtney cried in Gwen's arms as the gang approached. "Oh, Court.." Heather sighed as her and Bridgette walked over to her, Gwen got up as Bridgette took her seat and Heather sat on the other side of her. Heather rubbed her back as Bridgette wrapped her arms around her. She looked up at Gwen, still rubbing Courtney's back. "Did the doctor tell you guys anything?" She shook her head as she sighed. "No, they just led us here and no one has come yet." "Fucking bullshit." She whispered rubbing her face as Courtney's crying grew louder. "Courtney.. shh he's gonna be okay, you know that. Duncan is strong, he's not leaving you yet."

"Yeah, we all knew that since he said it that time we got really drunk at his apartment." Geoff said as he walked next to his girlfriend. "I remember that. He let all his premature feelings out." Alejandro chuckled briefly sitting next to Heather.

~FLASHBACK~

"I'M GONNA TAKE MY HORSE TO THE OLD TOWN ROAD!" "GONNA RIIIIDE TILL I CANT NO MORE!" Duncan and Geoff sang ontop of the coffee table in Duncan's apartment as Alejandro watched from the kitchen. He drank his liquor with cranberry juice so he wasn't even half as drunk as the two having a concert. "Bro, I'm gonna sing that song to Courtney, when I propose to her!" Duncan yelled looking at Geoff. "Whaaaaat, dude you just met her. She could be like crazy." "She is and I'm crazy into her man! If I actually am able to get her, I'm gonna love the fuck out of her and neverrr let her go. She's amazing." He sighed as Alejandro laughed walking over to them. "So, you're gonna sing old town road to her when you propose bro?" "Duh, I just said that.. AL!" He rolled his half shut eyes flopping onto the couch. "Could she just be mine already?"

~END OF FLASHBACK~

They all laughed as Courtney shook her head sniffling. "Thank god he didn't sing that. I would've said no." She said biting her lip as the others laughed. "Oooh, how about that time him and Heather had that fight at Killers and a customer called the cops thinking they were a couple." Bridgette laughed hugging Courtney. "Oh my god, I was talking to the cops a full 45 minutes."

~FLASHBACK~

Bridgette jumped as the front door of the shop flew open hitting the detectors. "Duncan, what the h-" "Where the hell is Heather?! I'm gonna kill her!" As if on que the asian emerged from the storage room placing her clipboard on the counter. "Bridge, when you have time check the list." "Heather! You fucking bitch!" Bridgette took a breath shaking her head. "Here we go again." "What?! What did I do now Nelson?!" He fumed walking over to her slamming his hand on the counter. "You called Gwen a slut! Why the fuck did you say that?!" "Because she is a fucking slut! You want me to lie?! You know I don't lie!" She copied his actions slamming her hand on the counter before walking to a rack of clothes. He followed her shoving the rack down making Heather glare. "Are you fuck serious?! Here take your slut some clothes, since you wanna fuck up my store!" She yelled throwing him shorts and crop tops. "Oh, wait she's an emo cunt! Gotta make sure they're black!" She yelled throwing more clothes at him. He glared stepping over to her. "What the fuck is your problem!? You a-" He was cut of by a police siren. The two turned to see a cop car sitting outside the shop. "Shit, here we go again." They both said unison.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

They all laughed together before Courtney sniffled. "Oh my god, please don't take him away. Please, don't take my baby." Bridgette sighed pulled her closer as Heather smiled lightly. "How about when he proposed to Courtney?"

~FLASHBACK~

Courtney looked at Duncan confused as he got up from his seat opposite her. "Where are you going?" "I'll be right back, beautiful." He winked before disappearing by the bathrooms. Courtney huffed as she drunk more of her wine. "Heyyy Court." Heather smiled as she peeked from around the booth. "Heath?" Courtney looked at her confused before getting up seeing the whole gang there. "What is going on?" She looked at them confused. "Duncan said free food. So I obviously agreed." Owen shrugged as Bridgette hit his arm as Courtney looked even more confused. "Wha-" "hit it boys!" Duncan's voice was heard from the stage before the lights dimmed in the restaurant, a spotlight on Duncan appearing. The gang smirked laughing quietly as Courtney turned looking at him. The whole restaurant watched as he performed 'locked out of heaven' for the whole restaurant to see. He jumped down from the stage making his way over to Courtney, spinning her around before getting on one knee pulling the ring out. "Courtney Barlow, will you marry me?"

~END OF FLASHBACK~

"I was so confused." Courtney laughed as she leaned her head on Bridgette's shoulder. "Duncan is full of surprises." Geoff nodded leaning back on the wall. "Never know what to expect with the D-man." He chuckled as they all agreed. "Very true." "Family of Duncan Nelson.." The doctor announced as they all stood up looking at him. "I'm sorry, we did all we could. But Mr. Nelson is gone."
