‘THE TIME I THOUGHT OF YOU’

DESPITE HIS BEST EFFORTS TO GET OUT FOR A SECOND TIME, he was trapped, stuck to finish the game of TOTAL DRAMA WORLD TOUR until his elimination and hopefully, if he played the game right, he could get himself eliminated as quickly as possible. it shouldn’t be too difficult, all it’d take is pissing off his teammates, which shouldn’t be too difficult considering he was on the opposite team to courtney and he’d just give away team secrets and strategies to help her team win, throw the games to allow her team the lead. it was what had got gwen kicked out of action and he could use the same strategy to his advantage. at least that had been the plan till he felt chris wrap an arm around him, hand gripping his arm and the fake cheery voice saying, “ i think it’s time that you and i had a little catch up, don’t you think duncan? ” and it was obvious there was no arguing with the man, even though all he wanted to do was shove the man aside and tell him to GO FUCK HIMSELF .

THERE WAS NOTHING WORSE THAN BEING TRAPPED IN A ROOM WITH NO ONE ELSE BUT CHRIS MCLEAN. he had no idea how chris had managed to track him down in london, but he had and he got duncan right where he wanted him, back in this fucked up show that he thought was ENTERTAINMENT instead of just ruining what could have been the best few years of his life. it wasn’t like chris had the threat of his parole officer to keep him in line anymore, he was officially free from parole, free from any kind of legal trouble and he was TRYING to turn his life around for the better. but by the look on chris’ face, it seemed like all his best efforts might just be wiped away by whatever it was chris wanted to talk about, “ as i am sure you’ve already guessed, that you coming back into the game comes with conditions. especially since you quit out on us the way you did, ” gone was the fake charismatic reality tv host, the real chris mclean was the one sat across from him, the sociopath who enjoyed watching them squirm and would do anything to see his ratings go up as it only meant more cash in his pocket. an eyebrow raised, arms folded across duncan’s chest as he leans back in his chest, “ what? you want me to do what owen failed to do last season? cause a little drama between the teams, make everyone miserable again. already one step ahead of ya there, mclean, ” he tries to remain his cool, cocky self, to not show that the way that chris was smiling at him made him want to look away and crawl under something to get away from it, “ oh duncan, that would just be too easy. no one wants the past winner in here and they would vote you off almost straight away. plus that isn’t really up to your level, we all know that the audience’s favourite drama on this show really is - a good old classic duncan vs courtney fight, ”

THAT WAS SOMETHING HE SHOULD HAVE SEEN COMING. of course, chris would want the drama to be focused around him and courtney because that really was the kind of thing the audience ate up. the episodes were they really going for it in a fight were always some of the highest rated ones, especially the one in action with her elimination and the contract that they didn’t speak about anymore. but he would not allow chris to ruin the best thing in his life, “ c’mon man, that’s overdone! no one cares anymore. i’ll start a fight with any of them, heather, gwen, that alejandro guy. but i’m not puttin’ courtney in the middle of your vendetta against me. i won’t do whatever you want done to start a fight with courtney and i, i’m not ruining my relationship for the sake of fucked up entertainment, ” he didn’t often stand up for courtney when gwen was complaining about her, mainly because that was just petty bullshit that gwen and courtney would hopefully sort out themselves. however, he would ALWAYS stand up for her when it came to chris because for some reason, chris really loved to make courtney the villain and he wouldn’t let him do it this time. chris just smirked at him, moving from where he was sat behind the desk to move round to the front of the desk, leaning against it as he looked down at him, “ the two of you had quite the rollercoaster between action and this show didn’t you? i mean, everything seemed to have started off great with your little holiday, where you got those adorable matching tattoos. but then . . . everything seemed to have gone WRONG for the two of you. now at first, i just thought it was usually petty bullshit, i mean you sued her over a raccoon. only to find out there was a deeper issue that the two of you were trying to keep HIDDEN , ” duncan’s skin was crawling as he listened to him speak, watching as he picked up a file from his desk and showed him a photo of courtney leaving the abortion clinic, “ our favourite drama queen was PREGNANT with your child and look at this, you’re no where to be seen when she dealt with the issue, ” jaw is set in a hard line as he glared at him, he refused to give chris the satisfaction of seeing him rattled and upset about it. he probably didn’t know that duncan hadn’t know courtney was pregnant when she had gone there, but he wasn’t about to fill in the gaps for chris, “ now, listen to me very carefully. you will do WHATEVER i want you to do, you are contractually mine until i say so and you will NOT tell a single person that you are doing any of this for me - or i send this juicy piece of information about your precious princess to every form of news and social media i can, ”

DESPITE THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MOMENT TO BE COMPLETELY SELFISH, the only person he could think of in this moment was courtney, head ducking down as he could no longer look at the smug smile on chris’ face. this piece of news would hurt him a little, but it would completely destroy her and she had been TRYING so hard to be better from that decision. their relationship was in a decent place, despite his anger about being tricked back into the show by her and gwen, but being around her again just reminded him how much he LOVES her and he would do anything to protect her from further pain by chris’ hand. even if that meant he had to be the one to hurt her. he would ruin what felt like his one chance of happiness and a good life to PROTECT courtney. it would be for best, wouldn’t it? courtney had always deserved better than him, maybe he had been kidding himself all this time because he doubted that chris would even go for just little petty arguments. he had humiliated chris by leaving, proved that chris had little control over them and this was his way of showing that he had CONTROL by making duncan his bitch. courtney would be hurt but she may understand if he is ever able to tell her about this. but by protecting her, he might lose her forever and that was a price he was willing to pay. brushing the stray tear that seemed to be slipping down his cheek, taking a deep breath as he looked up at him, “ what exactly is it you want me to do, you fucking psychopath? ” there was nothing saying that he had to be happy or pleasant about this. that still didn’t stop chris from smiling at him, putting down the folder as he leaned forward a little, “ i always did think that gwen and you would make such an attractive couple . . . plus she likes you already so you have that in your favour. kiss gwen somewhere you’ll be caught by someone, but remember, tell anyone about this, i’ll RUIN courtney, ”
