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 araw 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 sinabi 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 kutsilyo that he gave me a long time nakaraan 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 pag-awit and playing his gitara to, uy There Delilah. Wow, I haven't seen him in a long time. He's still same old Trent. We used to petsa 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 pag-ibig you Trent! Did you seriously sing that song just for me?"
"Yep, I pag-ibig you 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 pag-ibig 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 you back."
"Why, so you can throw me into an intense coma like you did to my mom?"
"No Gwen! I swear I will never ever hurt a soul, not even a fly, if you would just take me back!"
"I hate you, and will never forgive you for what you did. You're wanted Duncan, an outlaw!"
"Then I will spend a thousand years in prison. ANYTHING to make you pag-ibig me again!"
"Why don't you just go turn yourself in and leave me alone?!"
Duncan placed both hands around my waist.
"No matter how much you hate me, I will always pag-ibig 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 kalye 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 you do to yourself?" we both sinabi 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. You robbed a bank, almost killed my mom, impersonated a cop, no wonder you were unloved as a child you 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 sinabi 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 birago got captured sa pamamagitan ng the zing zings. That was the season where Duncan and I started dating. I used to pag-ibig that season, but now it's just full of regret. Just like in the birago 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 puso 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 pag-ibig 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 you do?!
Duncan: I d-don't know
Gwen: Oh my god, mom!
Gwen runs over to her mother's lifeless body.
Gwen: What did you 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 you 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 you didn't get what you want! Why are you so stubborn? And on pasko Eve for crying out loud!
Duncan: I was an idiot. I pag-ibig you, and I'll help you, with anything you need.
Gwen: Really? Well, can you help me to understand why you are such a jerk!
Duncan: I'm........
Gwen: Retarded! That's what you 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 siksikan 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, you 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 you for caring."
"You mean the world to me babe. I didn't mean to make you scared. But the tanong is, do you really pag-ibig me?"
"Of course I pag-ibig you, I always did."
"That's reassuring, I thought that you 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 you won't get mad again and hurt me?" she asked.
"You're going to have to trust that I pag-ibig you enough not to lay a finger on you. Do you 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? You 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 araw we met.
"What's it to you juvie?"
"Just trying to make a friend. What would you say if I told you 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 mga kaibigan 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 asno on me."
"I meant that would be really cool."
"That's better. sa pamamagitan ng the way, I'm Duncan."
"I'm Gwen."
"Catch you 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 pag-ibig 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.
