9:20 P.M. Oakley, Northern Canada
Duncan's POV
I put the bags on the table and ran over to Gwen, who was sobbing on the couch. She was shaking and I grabbed her hands and she looked at me with tears flooding from her eyes. She hugged me without saying anything and I squeezed her trying to calm her down. The last time I saw her like this was when her mother died, and I remembered the only thing that calmed her down was squeezing her.
"Shh" I said and rubbing her back.
I held her as I watched Anna walk over, and she started putting the groceries away from me. She walked out to my car and brought the rest in, and I mouthed thank you as she walked out.
"Gwen what happened?" I asked and she shook her head.
"I want to drink, but I can't....I can't-. Brandon, Geoff, Noah, everyone...everyone will kill me." Gwen said and I held her against my chest. "Get my mind off this, say something that'll make me think of something else." She added.
"I'm sorry for pushing you away, it's honestly my biggest regret in life. I miss you so fucking much." I said and she looked at me.
She slowly stopped shaking and stared at me. I looked at her and she looked at me. She whipped her tears and then took a deep breath. I awkwardly stopped hugging her and she looked at me.
"In...what way?" She asked and I stared at her.
"I...don't....I don't know Gwen...like the way I felt during our high school graduation night." I said and she stared at me.
I didn't say a word and she looked away. I finally told her how I felt, in the worst way possible. I told her that I was basically still in love with her, along with wanting her to my best friend again. She didn't say anything and looked at me.
"I didn't mean to...uh-, that didn't come out the way I wanted it to." I said and Gwen faked laughed and looked away. "Best friend, I miss being your best friend. Now you say something." I added and she looked at me.
"Six years ago I had a miscarriage." She said out of nowhere, and I looked at her.
"What?" I asked and she looked away.
"Remember when I came home for your birthday seven years ago and we.....you know?" Gwen asked and I nodded. "I got pregnant and didn't tell you as I wanted it to be a surprise. Well, I uh...miscarried at ten weeks, which is why I didn't come home and asked for more time in LA." She added and I stared at her.
"And you didn't tell me?" I asked and she shook her head.
"I couldn't...I didn't want to hurt you." She said while tearing up.
"Who knows?" I asked and she looked at me.
"Well...everyone expect you." Gwen said and I looked at her.
I just stay silent and then looked at her as she whipped her tears, while smuggling her makeup a bit.
"Is that why you became distant?" I asked and she nodded.
"I didn't know how to tell you." She said and I nodded.
Silence grew between the two of us and she closed her eyes. I couldn't believe what she just said, I had a child....who died, and my family knew about it. Gwen closed her eyes and then started shaking again and I hugged her and she hugged me back as she started crying into me again. I rubbed her back and all I could think about was that time period, I was getting close with Courtney as I thought Gwen was loosing interest in me.
