I will set aside our story entitled "La Vendetta" since we had a terrible writers' block about it. So I will be writing this story alone along with Dreamworld.

~This is in Duane's point of view.~

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Madeline! Do not leave me! Let me go with you."

"I...I am sorry Duane...I must go to Italy...."

"Madeline! Please....promise me that you would go back!"

"I will Duane, yes I will return for you."

That was the last time I saw Madeline again. I do not know what happened to her that time. For six years...I have never touched her skin, nor have I seen her, or hear her voice. I have waited long enough, but I still trust her.

Madeline....I will wait for your return...

Suddenly, she returned at July 2, 2002. I was waiting for her at the airport until I saw her at the airport, but with someone else! But there was more...

"Madeline...?"

She gasped in shock.

"Duane...?"

I dropped the bouquet of flowers.

"Wha...what is this?!"

"Duane....I am sorry."

"Madeline....why didn't you tell me?"

"Duane...no, please! Let me explain!"

I pointed my fist at her in my anger.

"After all the things I have done....after I have waited for so many years of your return....after what we have gone through....I only end up seeing this! You are....you are....

"Duane-"

"Shut up! You have hurt my feelings now...do not expect to see me again!"

"Duane!!!!"

I ran away towards home. As I entered my house, I slammed the door. Mom heard me.

"Duane! What is going on!"

"Leave me alone, mom."

"Duane, can we talk about this?"

She touched my shoulder.

"I said, LEAVE ME ALONE!"

I barged into my room and I started punching the wall. I destroyed so many things in my room...my windows, my closet...there were a lot of them. I sat down on the floor beside my bed and started crying out loud. I saw a shard of my broken window on the floor. Mom was knocking up on the door.

"Duane! Open the door!"

I ignored her. I took the shard and made a slash out of my arm. I was feeling unconscious as well.

"Curse you, Madeline...remember this day..."

I lost my consciousness.

Oh Edge of Love... Your next new story, it's romantic. Love it.

Nooo Madeline, don't leave to Italy.

Oh... Duane, be a man, listen to madeline's explanation...

No Duane, don't be so loud shouting at your mom.

Oh Duane, why hurt yourself? Why curse Madeline?

Who knows? Wait for great update soon! ^_^

Very good story Jammy! ^_^

Ahh, very nice I did notice some grammatical errors though, but not really anything major. I'm irritated by Duane *dramatic sigh* He didn't even listen to her explanation.

Such a romantic story...perfect title too.

Cool!!!! i like this! ^_^

"edge of love" is a song by a band called Access, and unless you listen to J-Pop, I wouldn't expect you to know that XD

hmm...interesting beginning...mildly confusing, but that may be because it's early in the morning on my last day of vacation...

its a really good start, I can't wait for the next update!

Hmmm..k

Note: The story would be always in Narrator's point of view from now on.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Duane lost his consciousness all of a sudden. His mom suddenly barges into the door and saw him lying on the floor, bloody.

"Duane!! What did you do?!"

He did not respond. Left with little choice, she runs for the telephone and calls the nearby hospital.

"Hello 911?! Please I need help! My son...my son is...!"

"Okay calm down. Please give us the address so we can dispatch the ambulance unit."

She gave the address of their home. Minutes later, sirens were heard through the neighborhood. The ambulance suddenly arrived. People were observing, wondering on what in the world happened.

"Mrs. San Diego, we have given your son first aid treatment for now. However, he needs to be brought to the hospital."

"What happened to my son?!"

"He...lost a considerable amount of blood...and suffered a lot of bruises."

"Oh no he is going critical! Let's bring him to the hospital!"

"Go ahead! I'll follow."

The ambulance left all in a sudden. She ran into the house and changed her clothes.

"Duane...I hope you would be alright."

She ran for the car and left the house.

Meanwhile, in the hospital...

"1, 2, 3....clear!"

"His vital signs are now stable!"

They all applauded but still, Duane left unconscious. The doctor asked.

"He needs a blood donor from the blood bank. Are there any matches?"

"None at the moment, doc."

Duane's mom arrived.

"Doc, is my son safe?"

"We need a donor, actually. He lost a lot of blood and we are having a hard time finding a match."

"What happens if we can't?"

"There is a possibility that he may lose his life..."

She runs to the room where Duane was and cries for him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Awww man poor Duan's mom....Great update!!!!^_^

sad...

dangit Duane! why did you have to do that??

o_o

Oh Duane don't die... Since you're youthful, you can find another better girl friend, or try to listen Madeline's explantion if she isn't guilty to you...

Aw man, Duane you idiot! You're mother is at the waves right now!

Quote:

There's a mistake there. It should be changed to "his".

oops- thanks puppis!

oooh duane's mom must really be nervous. but duane should not have let himself get carried away like that in the heat of his fury. he shouldn't have acted like that on impulse...doesn't he know that if he hurts himself, he'll hurt others too?

nice story, Heimdall!

I agree. This is so good!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The telephone rang in Leo, Duane's boss in the company.

"Hello? May I help you?"

"Is this boss Leo?"

"The one and only. May I help you, Ma'am?"

"My son, Duane cannot go to work today. He is here in the hospital."

"Oh dear...it is okay. We'll be dropping by there later...is there any help that we can offer you?"

"Well, we need a blood donor-"

Leo puts down the phone. He went for the Public Address system and spoke.

"Elsa, please come into my office."

A young woman, by the name of Elsa came into the office. She is Leo's secretary.

"May I help you, sir?"

"Can you find someone whose blood type is O"?"

"Yes sir. I will find one immediately."

Elsa went out of the room and suddenly, a woman in business attire went in.

"Good morning, sir."

"Why yes! You are the new employee Nensha speaks of?"

"Yes. Yes I am."

"Well then, I am Mr. Leo Sebastian Ross. Call me Leo, for short. I am the manager of this part of the firm."

"And I am Sandra Cheeks, sir. You can call me Sandy. I prefer myself being called that way."

"Okay. Welcome here, Sandy! Your work place is at the cubical next to the Meeting room."

"Thank you sir."

"Oh, Sandy....wait."

"Yes, sir?"

"What is your blood type?"

"Its O",sir. Why do you ask?"

Leo stood up suddenly.

"I need you to do me a favor. Can you donate some blood to the blood bank?"

"Why? If it is to help someone, then I would go for it."

"Well then, come with us to the hospital later."

Sandy took her things and walked out towards her cubicle. Leo approached the PA System again.

"Elsa, we found one already. Come back into my office and there is something we need to do."

****~~~****

A long beeping sound was heard by Duane's mom once again. She at once, pressed the button and the doctor barged into the room.

"He is critical again! Let us bring him to the O.R!"

He was carried out of the room. His mom, on the other hand knelt down on the floor and starts shaking. A tear came down from her eyes.

"Lord, please let Duane live....he is the only one left in my life. I wish to see him grow and fulfill his dreams. If he is to die, let me die as well!"
