Gwen's P.O.V
"Gwen wait!" he called after me. I just kept on running. For know, let's just call him, he. HE was a monster, a murderer, a womanizer. He was unbearable, evil, the devil's son. I can't believe I used to go out with that guy! Actually, we're divorced now. I remember the siku we got married, he was the sweetest thing in the world when we first met, but now, he's a son of a...... Ugh, I'm too devastated to say it. I can't believe he would just turn his back on me. I kept on running. Turning back to see if he was still following me, I tripped on a rock. He caught up with me. I whimpered, "Don't hurt me." He looked at me with teary eyes. "I would never." he replied. I managed to drag myself up. I kept on running. The last time he alisema that to a girl, they ended up on the biggest news death story of the season. I had to find somewhere that was safe. I looked around and found a dark alley. He was still following me, I could just feel it. I ran in and pressed my back against the wall, panting. I closed my eyes, and sat on the dirty concrete. It was times like this that I wish I still had a family that loved me. I peeked out of the alley, he wasn't there. I searched my pocket and found $20, a paper clip, some rope, and HIS old pocket kisu that he gave me a long time zamani when he was still sane. I fiddled with the pocket knife. Well, there was no point in living now, my life is coming to an end. I cut my neck, legs, arms, and cheeks. Red, thick blood formed a pool on the floor. My stomach started to growl at me. I just ignored it. There was no point to pay attention to it in this condition. I decided to take a stroll through the city. When I got to Time Square, I heard someone singing. I followed the angelic voice to a stage. I squeezed my way through the crowd to see Trent imba and playing his guitar, gitaa to, hujambo There Delilah. Wow, I haven't seen him in a long time. He's still same old Trent. We used to tarehe when we were 16. When the song was over, everybody clapped, including me. Before I could say anything to him, Courtney has already pulled him into a kiss. Wait, Courtney? Since when have they been dating? I was able to interpret their conversation.
"I upendo wewe Trent! Did wewe seriously sing that song just for me?"
"Yep, I upendo wewe babe, and nothing will ever change that."
Tears began to form in my eyes. Not because I was jealous, because I was afraid that I would never experience true upendo like that ever again. I ran again trying to get away from everyone when I ran into a tall figure. I fell but held my head down, afraid it was going to be him who I was trying to avoid. The figure held my head up and gave me a hug. As soon as I opened my eyes and realized who it was, I immediately pulled away.
"Get away from me Duncan!"
"Gwen, I'm sorry for what I did. I acted like a total bitch, a bastard. I don't know what came over me. I just want wewe back."
"Why, so wewe can throw me into an intense coma like wewe did to my mom?"
"No Gwen! I swear I will never ever hurt a soul, not even a fly, if wewe would just take me back!"
"I hate you, and will never forgive wewe for what wewe did. You're wanted Duncan, an outlaw!"
"Then I will spend a thousand years in prison. ANYTHING to make wewe upendo me again!"
"Why don't wewe just go turn yourself in and leave me alone?!"
Duncan placed both hands around my waist.
"No matter how much wewe hate me, I will always upendo you, always!"
"Don't touch me."
My face turned red. Duncan started to cry. At first, I felt kinda bad, but then I sucked it up. He deserves to feel this way.
The mitaani, mtaa light hovering over us flickered on. It turns out that Duncan had a bunch of cuts on his face and arms just like I did. I looked as shocked as he did. "What did wewe do to yourself?" we both alisema at the same time. I folded my arms and he just waited for an answer. "I, felt alone." I mumbled. Duncan nodded his head in agreement. I was just about to run away when Duncan grabbed my hand. "Come back with me. We can have the life that we always thought we would." he tried to persuade me. "I'm not going anywhere with you. wewe robbed a bank, almost killed my mom, impersonated a cop, no wonder wewe were unloved as a child wewe fu**ing criminal!" I screamed in his face. Alright, I felt horrible! "O.k, now that was kind of low." he replied. "I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean I forgive you." I alisema as I walked away from the scene. Duncan didn't follow me, he just stood there, feeling hurt. I sniffed and started to run faster. I got to an intersection in the road. I remember in Total Drama World Tour, Team amazon got captured kwa the zing zings. That was the season where Duncan and I started dating. I used to upendo that season, but now it's just full of regret. Just like in the amazon race, I took the right path, not right as in correct, right as in right handed. I know it got my team no where but bad fortune, but I wasn't looking for good luck right now. I wandered off until I couldn't take it anymore. I stabbed myself in the moyo and passed out on the cold concrete floor.
Duncan's P.O.V
I'm an idiot! I blew it, I totally blew it! She hates me now, but why do I still upendo her!? I can't just let her go. I was a jerk. I wish I could just go back in time and change it all!
-Flashback-
Gwen: What the hell did wewe do?!
Duncan: I d-don't know
Gwen: Oh my god, mom!
Gwen runs over to her mother's lifeless body.
Gwen: What did wewe do to her?!
Duncan: I, I got upset
Duncan stares at the blood on his hands.
Duncan: *whispers* Crap!
Gwen: *sniffs* She could be dead wewe know! She's the only one I have left that loves me!
Duncan: Gwen, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anyone!
Gwen: So why did you? Just because wewe didn't get what wewe want! Why are wewe so stubborn? And on krisimasi Eve for crying out loud!
Duncan: I was an idiot. I upendo you, and I'll help you, with anything wewe need.
Gwen: Really? Well, can wewe help me to understand why wewe are such a jerk!
Duncan: I'm........
Gwen: Retarded! That's what wewe are.
Duncan: O.o
Gwen: Sorry, I just, have to go.
*End of Flashback*
And that's when Gwen started running. She thinks I'm a freak. I started walking around when I heard vicious coughing. I followed the sound to Gwen. She was on the floor, bleeding. "Gwen!" I screamed. I picked up her body up and ran through a traffic jam, jamu to the nearest hospital. I got beeped and cursed out too many times to count. I just yelled, "Shut the hell up!" I got to the hospital and Gwen was immediately attended to. I sat in the waiting room for 15 minutes, pacing. I was worried. "Mr.Millers. The patient is ready to see you." a nurse informed me. I walked in the room, hoping Gwen still didn't hate me. "Um, Gwen, wewe o.k?" I asked. She hung her head down. "I'm sorry, sorry I acted like a jerk." she whispered. I gave her a hug. "I should be the one that's sorry." I replied. "I feel so alone." Gwen sank into the hug.
"Hey, don't beat up on yourself. I'm just glad you're safe."
"Thank wewe for caring."
"You mean the world to me babe. I didn't mean to make wewe scared. But the swali is, do wewe really upendo me?"
"Of course I upendo you, I always did."
"That's reassuring, I thought that wewe thought I was a total psycho!"
"I was just pissed. My mom just called, she told me she's fine and out of the hospital."
I smiled at her. Gwen stared at me. "But, how do I know that wewe won't get mad again and hurt me?" she asked.
"You're going to have to trust that I upendo wewe enough not to lay a finger on you. Do wewe trust me?"
"Absolutely."
I leaned in for a kiss, she leaned in too. Our lips were pressed together for at least 10 seconds. I never wanted to let go. She pulled away.
"Can we start all over? wewe know, start fresh, like this never happened." she asked me. "I think that would be a suitable resolution pasty." I chuckled.
"Hey sunshine, what's your name?"
Gwen chuckled an played along just like the siku we met.
"What's it to wewe juvie?"
"Just trying to make a friend. What would wewe say if I told wewe that you're kinda cute?"
"I would say that that's a really sweet thing to say."
"I guess you're bearable to be around. Unlike some people in this joint. (Duncan stares at Harold)
"No kidding, but hey, that's why we need to make Marafiki around here that'll keep us sane."
"True that pasty. Maybe we can hang out sometime."
"Awesome, that would be philosophical."
"C'mon, don't go all smart punda on me."
"I meant that would be really cool."
"That's better. kwa the way, I'm Duncan."
"I'm Gwen."
"Catch wewe later Gwen."
"Bye Duncan."
I pretended to leave the room. Before I left, I whispered, "Merry Christmas." Gwen smiled at me and then fell asleep. I'm glad everything's cleared up. Her damaged soul, is now patched up with upendo again.
"Gwen wait!" he called after me. I just kept on running. For know, let's just call him, he. HE was a monster, a murderer, a womanizer. He was unbearable, evil, the devil's son.
