Duncan's POV
I was watching a movie on my phone when my sister started rapidly texting me.
She had stopped texting me when she realized that Duncan Quagmire wasn't coming back.
You probably realize that I said 'Duncan Quagmire' in 3rd person, as if I wasn't him.
I'm not.
Ever since Charley left, it's like I had a new soul in the same body.
I was now living a lie named Damian Sterling and no one knew.

Damian is that kid that gets in fights because he likes the pain.
There's a word for what I am, and it starts with an m.
It isn't a pleasant word.
The pain distracts me long enough to forget about how broken I am, and how broken my life is.

I opened my phone, and looked at the texts.
Same old.

But the last texts were the one that made me text back.

It isn't a joke.

Duncan, I swear on my life I'm not lying.

Duncan

(Pretend she looks like the girl on the cover and way thinner. Like unhealthy thin)

Duncan, she needs you just as much as you need her.

Duncan
That's not Charley

Charley's blonde.

She isn't that thin.

Charley's happy

Izzy, you're lying again!

Dora
Duncan, it's Charley and you know it.

Here's our address.

I know you'll come.

Charley needs you
