Life Love and Lies Part 4

Life Love & Lies – Prt 4


After Duncan left my room I got up and closed the master bedroom door. I still couldn’t sleep but after a few minutes the waterworks stopped. I looked around my room and my eyes laid on my laptop on my desk. I grabbed the shiny black HP laptop, sat on my queen size bed with my leg crossed, gently flipped open my truly expensive laptop I bought for school and logged onto the internet.

I’m still not 100% sure if everything he told me was the truth or not, so I went onto Earthle, an energy saving version of Google and typed in Duncan’s full name. The first result was an article about him on Wikipedia, so I clicked on it.

‘Duncan Michael Scott is the lead guitarist in the punk rock/pop band, Low Way. Scott (Author’s note: remember that last name I made up...in Wikipedia they always use their last names) was born on March 14th 1983 in Saskatchewan, Canada. At the age of nine the Scott family moved to Vancouver, Canada.....’

Bla bla bla...not important....I moved the web page down until I found the gigantic paragraph about his band.

‘....Scott joined the band a couple months after Dave Cali-front man of Low Way-invited him. In just six months after the band was completely formed, the band received a contract from Universal Records ....’

So it is true....what else does Wiki say bout Duncan? I scanned the Wiki article until I found a section about his appearances on television programs.

‘Scott starred in Teletoon’s reality show, Total Drama Island and placed forth out of twenty-two contestants. On the show, Scott showed interest in one of the females competitors on the island. On the twelfth episode the two kissed, also on the 12th episode Scott’s girlfriend from the island was voted off. After the show was over it appeared that the two broke up due to long distance. The former girlfriend hasn’t been heard from since, and sources say they have both moved on from their relationship and it is rumoured that the former girlfriend has a family of her own.’

I bit my lip...well most of it was true....only my family is also Duncan’s. I closed Wikipedia and went back to Earthle; the next site under Wikipedia was the band’s website. I clicked on it and spent a bit of time looking through their video blogs, pictures, old postings read every word in their biography and read all of Duncan’s blogs. Neither of them mentioned my name directly, but a few did hint that he was sending a message to me. I spent probably one hour looking up more about the band before turning off the laptop and finally closed my eyes and slept.



Argh...I covered my eyes to block the sunlight from blinding me, I wanted to sleep in, but I was defeated. I sighed and looked at my alarm clock...8:55 AM.........shit!!!! I jumped out of bed, simply slipped my long robe over my pyjamas and ran into Madeline’s room.

“Madeline??? Hurry up and get up, you’re going to be lat-“ I cut myself off when I realized she wasn’t in her room...oh God...please tell me she wasn’t murdered or kidnapped. I ran down the stair as fast as I can and nearly tripped over a couple steps, I ran into the kitchen and saw Duncan look up at me and smiled.

“Morning, Princess” he said, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

“WHERES MADELINE???” I asked panicky

“Maddie? I took her to school 10 minutes ago...Am I ever glad only one grade five girl recognized me...or else I would have a whole swarm over me asking for pictures or autographs.”

I sighed with a big relief...Madeline is safely at school. I went to the coffee pot and saw that the coffee was already brewed and I poured myself a cup, added milk and sugar, stirred it with a teaspoon before taking a sip. I felt so much more relaxed after that sip. I saw Duncan give me a small smile before I finished my coffee.

“Thanks for making the coffee” I quickly said.

“No problem”

It then went silent. I could tell he wasn’t really comfortable after last night, but I knew he wanted to talk to me real bad, but didn’t know how to start.

“I-I’m going to take a shower” I didn’t wait for his reply and I quickly went up the stair and entered the bathroom attached into the master bedroom. I closed and locked the bathroom took off my clothes and stepped into the shower for a hot shower.


When I stepped out of the shower I realized my how idiotic I was...i forgot to bring my clothes into the washroom and I threw my PJ’s into the tub where it can soak into hot water. Dammit...and I left the master bedroom door open and  I didn’t want to enter my bedroom completely naked just in case Duncan passed by. I sighed and put on my only option, my long robe that reached just below my knee. I wrapped it around me tight, stepped into my room, locked the door and opened my small closest.

No way...this can’t be serious...everything is being washed??? My jaw dropped as I sighed again. I opened my undergarment drawer and pulled out a laced baby blue bra and matching panties. After putting on my undergarments I wrapped my robe tightly around my body and headed to the basement to put some clothes into the washer then the dryer so I had something to wear.

I made it into the basement without tripping over anything or letting Duncan see me. I grabbed everything in the hamper and dumped the contents into the washer, added detergent and turned the washer on. I stood beside the washer for a few minutes, before I decided to just go upstairs to the kitchen and make breakfast, regardless if Duncan was in the kitchen, I’m hungry.


When I walked up the basement doors I smelled something burning. I quickly made my way into the kitchen and laughed at what I saw. There he was, attempting to make pancakes but instead made a mess and burned all of them. I walked up to him, still laughing and asked if he needed help.

“Nah, I got this” Duncan replied

“You sure?”

“Totally...um...these pancakes” he held a plate containing one oversized black pancake “...I uh..made them for you...but......I screwed them up”

“Yeah, I can tell” I was still giggling “Thanks though”

“Do you want me to...uh...make you new breakfast?”

“It’s okay...thanks again”

It then went into another awkward silence. This time I didn’t know how to break it. We just avoided eye contact for a bit before Duncan brought something up.

“So...um...about last night......”

“I.....I want to forget last night ever happened”

I heard him give out a small sigh “Okay...” I then heard him mutter. “But you believe me right?? You believe that everything I told you is true, right?” I nodded and I saw him let out a sigh of relief.

“....Were you...lying to me?” I asked as soon as I saw that sigh.

“No!” He replied quickly “I-I...just wanted to make sure...”

He sounded like he was hiding something, but I didn’t feel safe to find out what.

“So.....you’re more famous then the lead singer...uh” I was trying to recall what the lead singer’s name was.

“Dave” Duncan told me.

“Right...Dave...so...you’re more famous than Dave?” Usually lead singers are the most popular member in a band, but not in this case.

“Yeah, I guess...”

“Reminds me of Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy” I chuckled. But Duncan really does remind me of Pete Wentz...the hottest and the most famous out of all the band members, but don’t get me wrong, the others looked pretty cute in the pictures I saw of them on their website.

I heard him chuckle too “Yeah I guess you can say that...only I’m not emo”

“You’re just a punk delinquent” This conversation started feeling much more comfortable than it started.

“Ha...you’re kinda right...Yes I’m punk, but I’m not a delinquent anymore”

I raised one eyebrow. Did I hear him correctly??

I saw Duncan grin “I’m serious. Dave and the others changed my opinion about being a delinquent”

“That’s good”

“Yeah I guess...but it was fun to break the rules though”

I chuckled as I remembered the night before I was ‘voted’ off the Island. Duncan and I decided to steal real food from Chef and Chris’ tent and brought it back for us and the other campers to eat. That was also the night I kissed him for the first time.

“Thinking about our past, Princess?” he asked with a grin on his face

“Yeah....”Oh I saw where this was going “....I-I don’t want to get back together” I looked at the ground as I said these words; I didn’t want to read his reaction off his face.

“Why not?”

“I-I kinda got over you” I took a quick glance at Duncan’s face and saw that he was biting his lower lip and I quickly looked back down on the floor “Sorry” I added.

I heard him sigh “It’s okay....I guess.........but I’ll still try to get you back with my charms”

I laughed “Good luck with that”

“Thanks...and you will be mine once again...”

I laughed as I walked away from the kitchen and headed for the basement to put my clothes into the dryer.
