Disclaimer: I do not and never will own Total Drama Island. Just wanted you to know.
A/N: This story takes place at the Playa de Losers during my other story, Total Drama Virtual. Yes, some things might not make sense if you haven't read it but I am keeping it to a minimum. So, I would prefer it if you would hop on over to my profile, click on my other story, and read it. However, you don't have to because this story will make sense either way. Just remember that this whole thing does not take place during TDI or TDA. (Sorry, this story kind of ruins who gets voted off.... haha)
After being at the resort for a few days, Geoff and Beth had become better friends. They had already bonded a little in the short time they were on Total Drama Virtual, and the three days that they were alone at the resort had only strengthened that. Beth now knew everything there was to know about Bridgette, from her shirt size to her favorite animal. Bridgette was Geoff's favorite topic. Beth didn't really mind though. She knew Geoff was really in love with Bridgette. Okay, she minded a little bit that he wouldn't stop talking about her but he was really fun to be with when he wasn't talking nonstop about his girlfriend.
"Hey, Geoff!" Beth waved at the party dude. "Geoff!" Geoff walked straight past her, staring at the ground. He didn't even seem to hear her. He took a cup and started to pour himself some juice. He poured the juiced, staring at the wall in front of him in silence. Beth looked at the cup as it started to overflow. She quickly went to Geoff's side. "Are you okay?" she asked. A tear ran down his face.
"Never better," he said very quietly. He took his juice and grabbed a bagel. "I'm going to my room," he told her.
Beth watched him go, thinking hard. "Now, what reason does he have to be depressed? We had an awesome party yesterday, which he was really excited for! Bridgette even came to visit him! He did kind of disappear afterwards. Maybe someone else will know what happened?"
Geoff huddled in his bed. The room was dark, with no lights on and the window closed. "Why?" he asked himself. "Why?" Tears started to run down his face.
"Trent!" Beth yelled, flagging down the musician. Trent stopped walking away and went to talk to her. "Do you know if something bad happened to Geoff? He's really depressed about something."
Trent looked confused and shook his head. "I don't know. But if he's depressed, it's most likely Bridgette."
Beth nodded her head agreeing with him. "Well, thanks anyway." She started to walk towards where Cody was sitting. "Hey, Cody, did you see Geoff get in a fight with Bridgette or something?"
Cody also stared at her in confusion. "No, nothing like that. Geoff disappeared after the party."
"You know, that's actually kind of weird," Beth mused, "He always sticks around to clean up and stuff. He never bails right away."
"True," Cody said. "Sorry I couldn't help you Beth."
After talking to the others at the resort, Beth had absolutely no idea what was wrong with Geoff. "I think asking him would have been a better plan to start with," she thought. "I'm just not sure now is a good time." She stood outside his door, contemplating whether she should go in. She heard a familiar voice. It wasn't Geoff's…… "What is he doing in there?" she wondered. She gathered her courage and pushed open his door. Beth took a moment to figure out what was going on, because the room was dark. Inside, the TV was on and the first episode of Gilmore Girls was playing. Geoff was sitting on his bed, clutching a pillow. His eyes were red. "Geoff?" she said slowly. "Are you alright?" "Okay, obviously not Beth," she thought. "Stupid question."
Geoff tore his gaze away from the TV to look at Beth. His face twisted in a grimace of pain that was supposed to resemble a smile. "I'm fine. Did you need something?"
She looked at him in skepticism. "I wanted to know what was wrong with you."
"I told you, I'm fine," he lied blatantly.
"No, you're not."
"I'm just fine! Leave me alone!" Geoff yelled. Beth narrowed her eyes. "Oh, shit. I probably shouldn't have yelled," he thought.
"Okay, Geoff," she said icily. "I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong." She closed the door behind her and sat on his bed. She made herself comfortable and looked at him expectantly.
"I really don't want to bother her," Geoff thought, "And maybe she'll give up?" He turned his attention back to Lorelai and Rory.
"Yeah, should have known she wouldn't give up." Geoff thought while starting the fourth episode of Gilmore Girls. "I think telling her would be a better option…." He paused the episode. "Beth. Bri-Bridgette broke…up," he dissolved into tears. Beth wordlessly put her arm around him, silently comforting him. She waited for his crying to die down and picked up the remote and pressed play.
"You know, their lives are oddly comforting," Beth commented.
Geoff nodded. "That's why I wanted to watch it. Seeing Rory and Lorelai's love lives and their normal lives is funny, sad, and happy at the same time."
"Mmmhmmm. I feel like I know them really well after watching the whole first season." Geoff's stomach growled. Beth looked at him. "Should we order room service?"
He nodded. "Sure. What do you want?"
She smiled deviously. "I've got just the thing." She picked up the phone and dialed the extension. "Go into the bathroom or something," she told Geoff, making shooing motions with her hand. "It will be a surprise what I order."
A Spanish maid wheeled a cart piled with food into the room. She quickly left. Geoff stared at the food in amazement. "That's….. a lot," he said slowly. Beth giggled. The cart was covered in junk food, from marshmallows and chocolate sauce to Sour Patch Kids and Jolly Ranchers. To wash it all down, Beth had ordered some hot chocolate.
"It's comfort food," she said. She grabbed a chocolate covered strawberry. "Dig in!" Geoff did so, also going for the chocolate covered strawberries. He suddenly remembered that Bridgette like chocolate covered strawberries. His face screwed up as he tried not to cry. "Go ahead," Beth told him. "Let it out. Cry. You'll feel better." Geoff looked at her and started to cry loudly. She put her arm around him again.
"I… don't even know why," he said between sobs. "It came out of nowhere…. She just told me wanted to break up and left!" Beth gave him a squeeze to comfort him. "I was a good boyfriend, right? Wasn't I?"
Beth nodded. "The best. Any girl would be lucky to have you."
He smiled through his tears. "Thanks, Beth."
The maid crept in to try and clean the next morning. She saw Beth and Geoff lying on the bed together, peacefully sleeping. The cart of junk food was about half empty and Gilmore Girls was still playing on the TV screen.
A/N: Gosh, I felt guilty writing such a short chapter! I always try to force myself to write about 3000 words per chapter.... this one is only about 1000.
Just a little bit of background:There are two reasons I started this story. Number one: I had decided to make Beth and Geoff a couple in TDV even after they were voted off. I suddenly realized that it wouldn't make sense in my story if I kept flashing over to the Playa de Losers to cover the Beth and Geoff story if I hadn't started doing that in the first few chapters. Number two: I was excited! I tried to find a Beth/Geoff fanfic and couldn't. I get to be the first!!!!!
If Beth seems a little out of character.... I hope to address that later....
