They turned to see Trent, he stood behind them with a warm smile. He was dressed as a skeleton, he wore a long sleeve black shirt and black pants. The pants and shirt had white fabric paint that was drawn in the style of a skeleton's body. Trent's face was also covered in black and white face paint that looked like the face of a skull.
Bridgette smiled, "Hi Trent."
"Long time no see, how have you been?" Leshawna asked.
Trent smiled, "I've been great, how about you Gwen?"
Gwen couldn't say how she was truly feeling, at least not in front of other people.
She hesitated, "I don't know how to answer that."
Trent looked concern, "Did something happen?"
Before this got awkward Bridgette stepped in, "Hey Gwen why don't you and Trent talk while me and Leshawna stay here."
Gwen felt relieved, she didn't know what else to say. The last thing she needed was to have an awkward silence.
"That sounds great." Gwen said.
Gwen got up and walked out with Trent onto the streets, once they were alone things got extra awkward. Gwen didn't know what to say to Trent, she could say the things she wanted to say for such a long time. She just didn't know how to say them.
"Gwen?" Trent asked.
"Yes?" Gwen asked.
"I'm really happy to see you." Trent said.
"I am to, I've been wanting to talk to you for a while, but I don't know what to say." Gwen said.
"Just say what's on your mind, I won't judge." Trent said.
Gwen smiled, she then felt confident about the things she wants to say now. "I'm sorry for what happened on Total Drama Action. When you kept throwing challenges for me, I was worried for your health and wellbeing. I didn't want to vote you off, but I had to, I didn't do it because the Killer Grips found out. I did it because you mean more to me then the million bucks, I didn't want to see you get hurt." Gwen said.
Trent was stunned, he had no idea Gwen felt that way. He sort of knew that throwing challenges for his team was wrong but he should've been fully aware.
"Wow, Gwen I had no idea." Trent said.
"I really wanted to tell you, but you seemed too far gone." Gwen said.
Trent felt guilty, he let his obsession consume him and it led to them breaking up. He felt bad about what Gwen went through and what she's going through now. Since Total Drama World Tour, Trent had to step in a few times with some of his crazy fan girls who would get into violent arguments over Gwen kissing Duncan. Trent had to do this on his Facebook account, it's exhausting, and it feels so unnecessary. Just because he and Gwen weren't a couple anymore doesn't mean that he hates her. If anyone ever talks trash about Gwen, he will be right there to defend her.
"I'm so sorry, I should've listened, if I knew that you felt that way, I wouldn't have done it." Trent said.
Gwen placed her hand on his shoulder, "Trent it's okay don't worry about it."
Trent gave a small smile, he knew how brave Gwen was, that was something he really admired about her. She put on a brave face when she walked on stage of the second aftermath show, on the outside she was calm but inside she was anxious.
"I'm sorry that you have to be in the middle of this love triangle crap." Trent said.
Gwen frowned which was noticed by Trent, he probably shouldn't have said that.
"Oh crap! I didn't mean to mention." Trent said but Gwen cut him off.
"Trent it's fine you don't have to keep apologizing, I'm under fire constantly and sometimes I don't notice it but there will be times where I fear for my life." Gwen said.
Trent raised his eyebrow in concern, "What do you mean?"
"My mom and brother would get constant death threats from obsessive fans, it got so bad to where the police had to be involved." Gwen said.
Trent didn't like the sound of this, "Your kidding?"
"Believe me I wish I was, the police installed a tracker on our phones to make sure that no one's sends death threats." Gwen said.
Trent couldn't believe what he was hearing, it's amazing how obsessive some fans can get and what lengths they'll go to get what they want.
Trent was disgusted, "That's horrible."
Gwen shrugged it off, "It is what it is."
Trent hated seeing Gwen like this, why can't people just move on with their lives and grow up already? Gwen, smiled as Trent took her hand, she really wanted to kiss him but that would just lead to trouble.
"Has Duncan been treating you well?" He asked.
"He has but sometimes he isn't there when I need him." Gwen said.
"What do you mean?" Trent asked.
"When I try to talk to him about personal stuff like our relationship, he changes the subject, it's frustrating and I just don't know what to do." Gwen said.
Trent smiled, "If you ever need to talk, I'm here."
When Gwen was about to open her mouth and speak, Leshawna and Bridgette cut her off.
"Hey Guys!" Bridgette said.
"How's it going?" Leshawna asked.
Trent grinned, "Couldn't be better."
Gwen chuckled, "I second that."
"You guys want to play some Halloween games?" Bridgette asked.
"Sure, why not? Are you up with that Trent?" Gwen asked.
"Sounds good to me." Trent said.
The four of them decided to forget all their troubles and enjoyed their night of Halloween mischief. Talking to Trent really made Gwen's night, after all the fire she's received she's happy to find friends who will be there for her no matter what.
End of chapter 4; I'm sorry about the late update, I meant to do this sooner, but things just got in the way.
