PART 1
"Well, I'm back home." said Duncan as he came up to the driveway of his house, "I guess the party's over."
As he walked up to the front door with his bags in hand, a chill ran down his spine. He shuddered.
"Brrrr. What was that. Weird. It's not even cold." His mind re-entered reality, "Pft. Who cares anyway? I'm rich and away from Heather. What more could a guy want?"
Duncan entered his house. His mother was there to greet him, along with his little sister, Susana.
"Hi sweetie! We saw you on T.V. Congratulations on winning!" said his mother.
"Thanks mom." said Duncan quietly, showing a slight smile.
"DUNKY!!!" Duncan's sister cried in delight.
"Hey there, Susie! How are you?" Duncan kneeled down to give his little sister a hug. If there were any people in his family who made him happy, it was his Mom and sister.
"Alright, Duncan. You go ahead and unpack and I'll get you something to eat. I bet it was a long ride back."
"Wha... Oh yeah. Thanks." He spaced out for a minute, thinking about that chill that went down his spine a few minutes ago.
Duncan carried his bags upstairs to his room and began to unpack. He only put away three of his skull t-shirts when he stopped and plopped down on his bed. His put his hands behind his head and let one of his legs hang off the side of his bed. He stared up at his plain white ceiling and talked to himself, a thing he normally did when he was alone, "What is wrong with me?" he said, "What's going on? I don't know why, but for some reason I feel like something's wrong. I should be happy. I won $100,000 dollars for crying out loud!" He sat up and gave a deep sigh. He happened to look into his bag and something caught his eye. He took it out to look closer. It was a picture of him hugging Courtney. It was taken before Courtney was voted off. Seeing that picture brought back memories. He remembered how their antlers got stuck together during the deer hunt. He also remembered scaring his team with his scary story during the camp out challenge and how angry Courtney had gotten. He remembered how he and Courtney snuck into Chef Hatchet's tent and stole his food in the boot camp episode. Lastly, he remembered how much pain he felt when he and Courtney had to be separated when Courtney had to leave the island. He had liked other girls before, but he had never felt the way that Courtney made him feel.
"You were one of a kind, Courtney." said Duncan. Suddenly, he felt a tear race across his face. "Wha... grrrrrrr. Why should I even care?" he threw the picture back into his bag.
"Duncan? Can I come in." said his mother from behind the door.
Duncan laid back down and said, "Uh, yeah. C'mon in."
His mother came in, "Hi honey. Wanna come down for dinner. Your father's here."
"Uh, sure just a sec."
