Duncan's P.O.V.
I stood there hugging Gwen while Courtney stood in the doorway with her arms crossed.
"This isn't what it looks like." I explained putting Gwen down.
"Oh, really? Because it looks like you, my boyfriend was hugging her ." She frowned and shot me a you've-got-a-lot-of-explaining-to-do look.
"Uh, Gwen told me to meet her here and she had some tickets so I could come see you in Paris so that was sort of, a.....thank you?"
"Well, um, you're welcome for the tickets but I should get going." Gwen hastily picked up her jacket and raced out the door.
So now I was all alone with Courtney.
*****************************************************************
Courtney's P.O.V.
Not even two weeks in Paris and he's already cheating on me.
"Why were you with Gwen?" I felt a tear trickle down my cheek.
"Well, um, she said to meet her here for the tickets and...."
But I wasn't listening. I was stuck in a flashback from about an hour ago.
Bridgette and I were getting off the plane.
"They are going to be so happy when they see us back early!" I grabbed my suitcase.
"Um, Courtney I don't feel so good. Can you make it to town okay? I think I'm going to be sick."
Bridgette was right. Her hair was all messy and her face was a pale green. She was doubled over as if she was going to puke at any second.
"Yeah, sure. Are you going to be okay?"
She nodded feebly and hobbled off to the nearest doctor.
I strolled along with my suitcase and took out my PDA. I quickly called Duncan's cell but no one answered. Instead of leaving a message I ran all the way to his house and opened the door. No one was there.
"Duncan?" I asked.
No answer. I abandoned my suitcase and carry on bag and sprinted upstairs to his room. He was gone but his cellphone was lying on his bed. I rummaged through his texts, looking for a clue to where he was. The most recent was one from Gwen. She asked him how he was doing and then her next text -this is my favourite part - asked if he was sad and his life sucked because I was gone. Awww!!! He's so sweet!!! Then she wanted to know if he'd meet her at the pizza parlor. So I ran all the way there. And I saw him hugging Gwen.
**flashback ends.**
I shook my head to clear the flashback and noticed Duncan trying to sneak out the door.
"Duncan!!! Get back here!!" I caught up with him and grabbed his arm.
"What?! If you want to yell at me can we do it somewhere not public?"
I glanced around me. Everyone was staring at me. "Fine, you win."
"So....where do you want to scream your head off?" He asked, pulling me outside.
"How about...your house?" I clung gently to his ram and stared at him.
"Good choice."
"How is that a good choice?" I questioned and slid my hand along his arm so I could hold his hand.
"Well my parents are at work or something so I'll be the only one to hear you yelling at me."
"Ah." We reached his house ten minutes later. When we were inside Duncan locked the door and windows.
"Okay, soundproof. You can start yelling now."
"Ha-ha. So why did you hook up with Gwen?"
"For the last time, I did not hook up with Gwen!"
"Why were you hugging her then? And in one of the Aftermaths in TDA there was this bonus footage OF YOU KISSING HER!!!"
"What?" He looked shocked. "Where did they get that?"
"So you admit it!" I accused.
"NO! It was obviously CGI!"
I frowned. "Prove it."
"Fine, I will!" He found his laptop and quickly turned it on. "Which episode was it?"
"The second Aftermath."
He Youtubed it and we watched the entire thing. When it reached the bonus footage of him and Gwen on the bridge I was about to yell 'Ha! I was right!' but it wasn't at the exact part yet.
"Do you think Courtney's looking at the stars now?"
I heard Duncan ask on the screen and me sigh happily. Finally, it reached the moment when Duncan fell on Gwen.
"Ha!" I pointed at it. "I was right!"
Duncan just sat there gaping at it. "But I didn't think there were any cameras. And... wait a second! We didn't kiss!"
Suddenly the door banged open. It was Bridgette.
"Do you guys know where Geoff is? I can't find him anywhere."
I stood there hugging Gwen while Courtney stood in the doorway with her arms crossed.
"This isn't what it looks like." I explained putting Gwen down.
"Oh, really? Because it looks like you, my boyfriend was hugging her ." She frowned and shot me a you've-got-a-lot-of-explaining-to-do look.
