Chapter 2
"Do you have feelings for Duncan…" Trent's eyes never left Gwen's dark eyes. she couldn't think of anything to say, The image of Gwen staying with Trent is fading away. Her eyes started to tear up, the thought was painful. Her feelings for Trent weren't as strong as Duncan. The first moments together in the first season was perfect. She fell for him, like a kid looking into a candy store. Her heart started to hurt more and her head full of shame. "Your silence said it all Gwen…" Trent turned around and walked away. Gwen's legs felt weak and she fell to the ground. She never felt this pain before. A heartbreak? Soul crushed in two pieces? The pain is all too real. Gwen's feelings for Trent were gone but pieces of the past were cutting her, deep wounds that'll take months to heal. She sat next to the cave entrance for a couple of minutes. thinking about the pain she's feeling. Then she wondered how Courtney is taking this.
"Duncan! what was Heather going on about? Whats going on with you and that goth girl!" Courtney rage was turning Duncan on but in a weird way. "Babe, we're just friends cut it out." she was gripping on to his ear tightly. "Just friends! it better stay like that! Or I'll...I'll get my lawyer on this!" Courtney released his ear as he grabbed her down to him. "Let me go! I'm still upset with you!" Courtney struggled as Duncan removed his arms from around her waist. The ocean was beautiful at night. finally out of that damned cave and here with Cou- Duncan looked up to see Gwen, Her pale skin and beautiful hair blowing in the wind. Her Gothic clothing and perky hips. "Gwen?" Duncan awkwardly said. "Who did you just?!" Courtney slapped Duncan and pushed him over. "I don't want you to say her name ever again! do you hear me!"
"She's...just my friend babe. And were on the same team." Duncan held his cheek and leaned up to see Courtney's raging face. "I thought you hated her! why are you two such good friends! It seems like you guys are closer to each other then we are!" Courtney started to pout like a child. Duncan rolled his eyes and looked away. "Have you seen my team...I'm stuck with Bossy, Ditsy and loud. Gwen's the only one who gets me." Duncan, started to recap what happened in the caves. The cave collapsing and the passing out for a couple of seconds. The he turned beat red. I kissed Gwen...why didn't I stop when the water was finished…
"Duncan!" Courtney's screaming was getting on his nerves. "Hey listen darling, were dating but you can't tell me who I can't talk to. I'm on her team and we're just friends. Get over it. Besides Trent has her on a tight leash. And so do you. So get off my back will ya'?" Duncan stood up and walked away, heading to the camp fire to vote who gets kicked off. Courtney started yelling words, they were joined together and very hard to understand. Duncan ignored all of it.
LeShawna and Gwen were there already, Heather and Lindsay were plotting something as normal and Duncan finally showed up. he sat behind everyone. Didn't want anyone to look at his face, it would of pissed him off more.
"Alright you freak shows! you survived the cave of confusion! now it's time to see who's going home and who's staying at Tot-" Chris was cut off by Heather, "We heard this speech over a hundred times already Chris just give us our marshmallows!" Heather demanded.
"Rude heather but whatever…! First one goes to Lindsay!...LeShawna..! Heather…! and the last one…." Chris was doing his long pauses, a couple of hand gestures and mind tricks. Duncan peered over at Gwen's back. Her hands holding her head up.
"Here you go..-"
"I'll go."
Chris was cut off again by another camper. "God you guys! keep ruining my moment!" Chris folded his arms and glared at Trent, who walked over to the camp fire with his guitar on his back and suitcase in hand. "Trent…" Gwen stood up as Chris shrugged and pointed to the dock of shame where Chef was waiting gesturing him over in a creepy way. "Well, the viewers would like to know why dude, you're giving up allot of money you know that? I mean come on. you can buy 500 guitars with this kinda money." Chris poked at Trent. Trent held his head low and said, "I don't belong here. My heart was broken here and I don't want it floating over m-" Chris was getting bored of his heart to heart speech and pushed him to chef. "Alright kid let's go." Chef directed him on the boat as it begin to start up. Gwen tears were flowing like a river. "Alright people lets give her some space! All this love is giving me flashbacks of when I was a teenager. It wasn't good. I was the nerd. she dumped me." Chris started, then he looked at the camera and said his last speech of the day, ending of this day and opening for the next. Duncan was still sitting down on the log. Looking at Gwen, as if he felt what she was feeling. "Well I told her she shouldn't of made us lose, I took something from her because she took something from me, fair is fair right." Heather said to Lindsay, Lindsay just nodded and added. "Yeah, fair is fair heather. You're always right, just like me! I'm right handed." Lindsay still ditsy.
The voices went away and doors were shut. Duncan stood up and walked over to Gwen. The tears stopped but her heart didn't. She wishes it did. What she did to Trent was unforgivable. Duncan didn't know what to say, he felt her pain, "Duncan!" the loud screeching voice of Courtney stopped Duncan from trying to help her. He Stood still and looked down. "Gwen, it's my fault…" He whispered, then turned to his girlfriend and walked away with her.
The heartbroken and soul crushed Gothic girl stood in silence near the campfire for a couple minutes then made her way back to the camp. Every step she took she could feel herself drowning in a sea of hate, regret and broken memories.
"I'm such an awful person…"
Her last thought before she slipped into dreamland, and dreamt about Duncan and Trent. Both on two opposite ends of a narrow hallway, Duncan facing down and Trent's back side. "..!" She couldn't speak. Trent's body was grey and white. No color on his skin or clothes. His body was fading away. The feelings she had for Trent had long vanished during the 1st season of this game. Gwen never felt this feeling before. She didn't know how to control her emotions. Her eyes filling up with tears rolling down her face and neck, her hands lost all feeling and legs shaking in stress. "Hey princess." A deep, dark voice echoed through Gwen's ears. A chill down her spine and a calm feeling in her heart. She turned around and Duncan calming smile warmed her, but she immediately started to drown. She couldn't breathe. Water was filling her lungs.
"Yo Gwen! Get up gurl!" Gwen heard LeShawna's voice and a tight grip on her arm. "She's not waking up, maybe she's been under there for a while. She really needs h-" Gwen started to cough up water, She wiped her eyes and looked around. the gleaming sun first then the sound of the ocean water. we're on the beach?... The sand felt weird between her toes and she is still in her night clothes. All black one piece. Messy hair and no makeup. Soaked. "Gwen get up, seriously, you should've fell asleep with the rest of us other than crying over your boyfriend. Oh wait haha...your ex boyfriend." Heather snarky remarks made LeShawna upset but before she could say anything Duncan beat her to the punch, "Heather you got allot of nerve! You're the one who made her like this. If you didn't put that stupid idea in his head Gwen wouldn't be like this. I thought I was the ass hole but you're the queen of asses." LeShawna was a bit shocked while she helped up Gwen, then looked at heather who was taking this a different way. " Oh so you're standing up for your girlfriend again. Well, lets see you guys survive the next day when one of you guys WILL be walking the Dock of shame." Heather flipped her hair and looked around. "Why did chris dump us in the water? Is he really trying to kill us?" Heather started. "Maybe he wants us to swim with the waves, like dolphins. I'll make a cute dolphin!" Lindsay started to clap and get excited. "What...Why would he…" Gwen couldn't catch her breath. "Hey look a box! I hope theirs makeup in there. I could really use a touch up." Lindsay pointed to the box a couple feet away. They all walked over to the box and Duncan kicked it opened. 5 raincoats,, AN ax, rope, tape, nails and a hammer. " What?" LeShawna said in confusion, All of them were just as confused as she was. "He wants us to build something?..." Gwen asked. "Clearly if there's tools in here genius!" Heather barked at Gwen. Gwen tried her best not to punch her. Just an easy right hook to her pretty little face, no one would be upset. They might even cheer me on.
"See you guys are finally awake! How'd you sleep? Good I hope because your new challenge is to build your own shelter!" Chris and Chef were on a boat in the water screaming over his handy Megaphone. "A shelter? why? we have our cabin-" Duncan was rudely interrupted by Chris.
"Well, if you would kindly let me finish maybe I'll tell you...I was going to do a team tug a war on a surfboard over a pool full of deadly hungry sharks buuuut I checked the weather and I was like...I can do better! There will be a deadly storm coming this way in about 3 hours. The other team is already about a hour ahead of you since they won the last round. Your Shelter should survive the storm with minimal damage. Who ever team makes the strongest shelter wins. Oh yeah...by the by, this storm is pretty heavy...so I would pick a place other than the beach...you know….waves and such aha...have fun!" Chris and Chef sailed off.
"was it 3 hours or 2?" Chris asked Chef. Chef just glared at him. "Well, what ever good ratings right? now let's get back to the trailer. Our new Jacuzzi just came in!"
"Well, we need to be under a tree or something!" Heather started to panicked, "A tree? So it can fall on us and crush us? Good thinking brains." Duncan snapped back at Heather. "Well we need to start moving, Duncan you can carry the stuff since you're the only guy here." Leshawna ordered him around. Duncan looked at the crate and back at LeShawna and laughed. "With your big arms you can carry the box and the whole team." LeShawna punched Duncan, gave him a good right hook to the face. Gwen chuckled. "You picked the wrong person to start a fight with…" Gwen helped Duncan up as he wiped the blood dripping from his lip. "Yeah...don't wanna mess with Miss thunder thighs and gorilla arms." Duncan picked up the box and followed LeShawna.
They came across an empty valley. a couple of trees in the Distance but not too close. "Duncan gets some wood, Gwen help me break down this box. Heather...do something helpful." LeShawna ordered everyone around. Heather rolled her eyes, "Me taking orders from you? please, I'll rather take orders from Lindsay anytime." Heather scoffed and sat down on a rock. "Well, then if we lose you'll be the first to go. Lindsay help me with the box please." LeShawna handed Lindsay a hammer. "Oh alright, Which one is the Hammer...and how does it work?" Lindsay scratched her head. "It's like talking to a 4 year old…" Gwen chuckled and pointed to the hammer in Leshawna's hand. "Oh that's a hammer?" Lindsay picked up the hammer and started with the box.
"Here you go, wood." Duncan threw down the stack of wood in his hands. The girls started to make a oddly shaped square shelter. "It's coming together nicely?..." LeShawna said watching it wobble. They used the wood that Duncan brought. making the walls stronger and roof thicker. filling in the holes with tape and nails. Making it look sturdy. "Finally, I think it needs a bit more on the door. Duncan can you pretty please get more wood?" LeShawna asked nicely. Duncan rolled his eyes and picked up the ax. "You owe me, next time the food looks actually good for once I want all of it." Duncan pointed at LeShawna as she nodded. Gwen looked up at the clouds as it grew darker. "Lets check the inside. might be something else it needs." LeShawna suggested. "LeShawna, its ok! look at it, it's almost as big as your butt you're so glad to have!" Heather snapped as she kicked the sides. "Look miss, I'm-so-perfect! You didn't help with anything! I swear if we lose this challenge your butt will be on the line! even Lindsay helped and she doesn't know what a hammer is!" LeShawna and Heather were face to face. "I forgot, this is the thing that my mother would toss at my father when he comes home from his night shifts, I don't know why they work him so hard. He already works morning shifts." Lindsay held the hammer in hand, like she's talking to it. They all looked at Lindsay and shook their head. "You guys...look!" The clouds grew closer as the sky became grey and dark. The rain poured down as they all ran inside. "Duncan is still out there! someone needs to help him!" LeShawna yelled. "It's raining cats and dogs out there! If you want to help him you can help him! I'm not getting myself killed for a convict!" Heather yelled back at her. "Well! someone needs to go, My big ass will die-" Gwen remembered when Duncan carried her and how he worried about her. She looked at the girls as they argued back in forth to whose hair will get messed up if they go out there. Gwen was furious, she quickly put on her raincoat and grabbed an extra one. Gwen shut the door behind her. Leshawna looked at Heather and shook her head.
Gwen followed the trail Duncan took to gather wood, she followed the trees with ax carvings in them. The rain was vicious, brutal and at an angle. Gwen tried to keep her balance but it was to much. "Gwen!" the mixture of confusion and a touch of worried. She felt someone pull her arm, In the amount of rain that is pouring on them she couldn't see a thing. just blurry shapes and flashing light from the lighting dancing in the sky. The rain suddenly stopped hitting her face, she wiped her eyes trying to make out where she is. "Another cave?" Gwen sighed annoyingly. "What's your deal? Why are you walking in this kind of weather? Want a death wish or something? You could of died!" Duncan was angry, but the way he worried about her made Gwen smile. "Do you see me smiling Darling?! I'm serious! If you would of died then you'll leave me with Blonde, the bitch and Gorilla arms!" Duncan shoved her a bit. "Duncan, I thought you were stuck out here, I came out to find you. See here, it's a rain coat. You'll freeze to death…." Gwen voice cracked as she handed Duncan a soaked Raincoat. "Gwen...I'm fine, I'm not some dumb kid. I can handle myself." Duncan snatched the Raincoat. Gwen was a bit confused, he's being more of an asshole to her then normal. "Duncan, I was just looking out for you. You can at least say thank you or something." Gwen placed her hands on her hips, getting a bit annoyed of his attitude. "Gwen, look out there! It's damn well raining cats and dogs! You could of been blown away or worse, a tree falling? thunder striking you? something! I just don't want to see you hurt!" Duncan yelled at Gwen. Then she realized why he was so angry with her. "You're...worried about me. That if something happened to me you'll…" Gwen said silently, Duncan walked over to the fire he made with his lighter and wood her collected. " Duncan…" She walked over behind him and hugged him. "Gw-" She held him tighter, Duncan's heart raced. The raincoat she was wearing was soaked, he looked down at her feet. Nothing covering them. "Gwen sit down next to the fire before you come down with something. Seriously...you're like a child right now." Duncan ordered her to sit down as he sat next to her. The walls were cold freezing but the heat of the fire kept them warm. Duncan wearing nothing but his shorts. he looked over to Gwen, She is shivering and trying to warm up. her feet is sticking out next to the fire, trying to keep them warm. He smiled at her, Gwen looked over at him. She noticed he's been looking at her for a while. "Duncan?" She said awkwardly. Duncan face expression changed from peaceful to angry, "Keep yourself warm and don't die." He turned to the fire. Gwen chuckled and looked down at the teenagers body, He's pretty well built for a teen. She watched at the water dripped from his face to his body. She felt her face heat up, deep red. "What happened with you and Trent…" Duncan asked softly. Gwen felt the guilt come back. Duncan leaned back on the wall, which got warmer from their bodies. placing his hands on the floor to support the lean. "We...broke up...He asked me a question I couldn't answer...and...the silence killed..him inside." Gwen eyes is flowing with tears, the pain came rushing back. She remembered the look of disappointment on Trent's face, the heartbreak and amount of tears that was shed. "What was the question?" Duncan asked. "It was-.." She blushed and looked up at Duncan, "It…" She couldn't say it. Then he would know why they broke up. "Was it embarrassing? Was it about the cave accident?" Duncan paused and looked down at Gwen, her big dark eyes made him blush a bit. Duncan then asked, " ...Was it about me?" Gwen's heart felt like it's being strangled, she finally gathered enough courage to say a couple of words. "Yes…I..didn't know what to tell him.." Gwen looked down in shame, she didn't feel right. She just broken up with Trent and now Duncan is getting a hint about her feelings for him. " What exactly did he ask?" Duncan kept poking at the question. Gwen finally gave in and told him. "He asked if I had...feelings for you…" Gwen softly said. a loud sound of thunder roared over the island. Gwen jumped and gripped onto Duncan's arm. Duncan looked over outside, the rain is still pouring down aggressively. "Damn…" Duncan let out a sigh and turned over to Gwen, the tears were flowing and her grip loosen. Gwen finally let go of his arm after a few minutes of silence. Duncan grabbed her shoulders and pushed her on the ground. The raincoat is a bit dry but the back side still soaked. "Duncan what are you doing?" Gwen asked, he ignored her as he leaned down to kiss her. Their soft lips touching each other, and wet bodies connected. Gwen started to shake and turn red. Duncan placed his hands down on the ground to keep his balance. Her lips were trembling as she let out a noise when Duncan's hand caressed her thigh. She couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck pulling him a bit closer. Duncan roughly grabbed her thigh as Gwen made an unpleasant loud noise, the kiss was interrupted by it. They both looked at each other then Duncan leaned up off of her. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. Shit…" Duncan punched himself in the forehead, mumbling slurs. Gwen leaned up and shyly moved closer to the fire. "I don't want to ruin you and Courtney…like..me and Trent…" Gwen started. Duncan grunted, his head laying low and turning over to see Gwen sideways. "Please your no Courtney…" He stated chuckling a bit. Gwen grew a bit sadden by that, then he started up again. "But...you're something...I can't get out of my head…" Duncan smirked turning his head down again, looking at his hands. Gwen smile came back. She didn't want to turn back to look at him. She would of continued where they left off if she did. Her hands shaking and body in heat after the tangle they went through. "I don't know what the hell that was but I don't know if i'll be able to keep my hands off of her...but Courtney...she's...amazing...but Gwen...I don't know. I'm stuck between two amazing girls...what the hell is wrong with me." Duncan's thoughts ruled him. He stared at Gwen, his mind numb from the thought. Gwen pushed her hair back behind her ear as her head rested on her knee that was bent up. her other leg laying down on the ground. Gwen noticed he was being a bit quiet so she turned around to peek. Duncan's eyes were fixed on her.
Crap…
Both of them dashed to each other and continued to hold each other. Duncan held Gwen close and pressed his lips to hers. Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck as he held her hips. Gwen's body on top of Duncan's, They made out aggressively and quite passionately. Duncan pinned her down and caressed her cheek while the other hand make its way down to her legs. Gwen let out a small moan.
"GWEN!"
They both froze and looked around. Duncan jumped off Gwen as he looked out the cave. The rain hasn't stopped. Still raining cats & dogs.
"Duncan!" Another voice echoed through the cave. Gwen stood up and seen Leshawna, heather and Lindsay walking around in the rain. Duncan folded his arms as he stood there.. "LeShawna!" Gwen ran out and greeted them both. Gwen escorted them to the cave. "We thought you were dead gurl! I had to force heather out here to help us look!" LeShawna looked around the small cave and seen the fire and ran to it. "While you two were here warm and all cuddly we almost died out there looking for you!" Heather snapped. "Thank you Heather." Gwen smiled warmly. "Whatever, you owe me after this!" Heather sat down next to the fire as the rest. They all started talking and sharing stories, Heather with her smart remarks and LeShawna talking back as normal. Gwen felt a cold touch on her small finger. She noticed Duncan's finger in contact with hers. Not holding, Not folding each finger in the spaces...just a small touch of two fingers. Gwen softly smiled and continued the conversation they were having.
The feeling of hate and heartbreak is still giving her this drowning feeling. As if she's sinking to the bottom. the deeper she sunk the more guilt she felt. Nothing will change the way she feels. Not even a campfire with her team and a close friend could change that.
Even a small touch of a soft finger.

Nah, this isn't the end silly New chapter soon!~
