So now I'm officially packed and ready to move out to my own apartment. The moving truck is prepared and DJ and Tyler were nice enough to help. Although I imagine Bridgette is the one who convinced them to help me. DJ was still a big guy and owned a pet shop while tending to the sick animals. Tyler had a buzz cut hair and filled out with more muscle. After I finished helping them with the last box I go back into the apartment to check to see if I missed anything.

After 11 years of misery, I'm going to reinvent myself and go up in my life. After seeing how down Duncan was, I was even more empowered to continue to move on. Although, a part of me actually feels sorry for him. But that went away as I saw a box still standing in the apartment marked as mine.

As I walk on over and head toward the door with my box, Tyler comes running to the door in a panic. "Courtney, we got a problem."he said with a twinge of fear. That scared me cuz if he's afraid of my expression then he did something really stupid just now. I dropped my box on his foot as I run to the truck. I look outside to see that the truck was gone! I gasped and started stuttering in disbelief unable to make a sentence.

Tyler comes holding my box with a look as if I was a killer! "Uh I may have left the keys in the ignition and left for a minute to the bathroom."He said slyly and insecurely. "DJ was suppose to handle it but he was playing with a dog!" I am walking slowly toward Tyler pondering how long I'd be arrested for manslaughter. I growl and he starts to shake. HE BETTER BE SHAKING!

"You lost my stuff! How am I going to move into my own apartment with no FURNITURE!!!"I shout at him grabbing the collar of his shirt and lifting him off the ground. He holds up my box to my face slowly and cowardly smiles. "Uh at least you got this."he said. I drop him and open the box to see pillows and a blanket.

I groan ans look up to the sky and fall on my knees throwing my hands in the air. "WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS! WHY ME!"I shout plopping on the ground in despair. I hope Duncan is having a worse time...


Duncan POV
Great another day, another night in this crappy condo. All that money..gone! And all because of me! Ugh! Oh and as if running into Courtney was a joy!

She actually was shooting me down while I taking it. I couldn't even put up a fight. And to top it off she found out about Gwen!

FLASHBACK
"Duncan you promised me you wouldn't steal anymore! And that you would leave Cody alone!"Gwen ranted as she got up in my face. I jsut rolled my eyes at her rant.

"Eh, we needed a new tv and as for Cody, the kid was egging me on what was I suppose to do?"I said losing my patience with her.

"How about act like the 20 year old guy you are and walk away instead of throwing him into a dumpster! I mean seriously A DUMPSTER!!We're not 16 anymore Duncan! We're adults and so far it looks like i'm the only one who's acting her age." she said and starts walking into our bedroom.

I knew she was losing patience too, but she was starting to become a downer talknig about bills and paying and working and studying! When did she get boring? Oh yeah, when school started.

She came back out with a black suitcase. I felt my jaw drop. She was actually packed! "Are you serious! How long have you been packing?!"I asked shouting stomping up to her as she looked down at the suitcase and ignored me. She moved right past me.

"I've started packing ever since I saw the manchild in you grow into a full grown pain!"she yelled and slammed the door behind her. I run after her but as I opened the door she rove off in a rush not even saying goodbye.

END FLASHBACK

So now i LIVE IN OUR EMPTY condo. And my ex was aware of it now. Great!

I slump back into the chair behind me and remember Courtney at the ballroom. She looked pretty hot! In fact real hot! I forgot how much I missed those hips, lips, and eyes.

I shook my head remembering all the nagging and ordering around she did as well.

The door opened wide and I saw two thugs. Monkey's men!

"Hey Duncan! So where's the money"The tan one asked. He had leather jacket and blue jeans with boots.They were as big as Chef.

"Uh guys, ya know we could talk later like maybe 10 months"I say with as much flair as I could. The light one punched the wind outta me. I bent over and spit out some blood.

"We'll be back in three days man. Get us the money or else"Teh tan one said and they walked out of my condo.

I need a miracle! An angel at least!!!Where's one when you need one!
