Listen To Your Heart

Chapter Four

Knots were starting to form in her stomach as she sat in the cart beside Duncan and he squeezed her hand; a signal telling her that everything was going to be okay. It didn't feel like it. She knew she would have to deal with Trent and eventually Courtney but maybe, just maybe, if luck was on her side, she wouldn't have to. But what was she thinking? Of course luck wouldn't be on her side and she would have to face the two; she felt Duncan lightly kiss the side of her head and she sighed, if Duncan was with her, she would be fine. She wanted to kiss him back, she wanted him to hold her but the camera men were right in their face and they just drove into the 'studio'. She started to get nervous again and she put a hand to her mouth, "Oh God, I think I'm going to throw up." She jumped from the cart and ran to a nearby tree and threw up.

"You okay Gwen?" She heard Duncan say as he rubbed her back and placed a few loose strands of hair back behind her ear. He felt her shake underneath him as the contents of their breakfast emptied Gwen's stomach. She sighed shakily as she wiped her mouth and stood up with help from the tree and Duncan. Her stomach felt better now that it was empty. She looked up at Duncan and gave a weakly smile as she took his hand and walked back to the cart, where Chris waited with a smug smile. "Gwen, you okay?" Duncan asked as they sat in the cart and got started again.

"I'm fine." Gwen smiled, "Just got nervous is all, but I feel better now." Duncan frowned a bit but if she said she was fine, then she was. He lightly kissed her forehead then looked out on his side and Gwen sighed. She wasn't fine. All she could think about was what evil Courtney could do to ruin her life forever. As she sighed, the thought quickly left her mind; maybe they wouldn't see them as they arrived and they could have a few more moments of privacy together. She looked up at Chris and her face went pale, he held a bullhorn in front of his face with a devious smile on his face.

"Hey Guys! We are back and guess who we found!" Chris shouted loudly into the horn and he chuckled, "This should be fun. Make sure you get it all on camera." Duncan wanted to punch Chris out cold and he would have if it weren't for the screaming of his ex-girlfriend as she ran toward the cart and Duncan jumped out, standing in front of Gwen.

"Move out of the way Duncan." Courtney said as she tried to push him out of the way but he stood his ground, "Duncan, I mean it! Get out of my way!" She punched him in the chest then was startled as he easily picked her up and moved her to the side to help Gwen out of the cart. Gwen blushed slightly; she hated to admit it but it was romantic how he helped her like that. When Courtney saw that and Gwen's blush, her face went red with fury and anger and she pushed pass Duncan to swing at Gwen but Gwen quickly dodged then glared at the brown haired girl.

"I tired of getting pushed around by you Courtney." Gwen said, anger showing in her voice, "You had your change with Duncan and somehow you ruined it. He is over you, so get over him!" She then stormed off to the girl's trailer and loudly slammed the door behind her. Bridgette jumped slightly as she heard the loud slammed and turned around to see Gwen, she looked pretty ticked off so Bridgette decided to see what was wrong with her friend.

"Hey Gwen, what's the matter?" Bridgette asked, setting a hand on Gwen's shoulder but Gwen only shock it off and turned away from the blonde, facing the wall as she laid on her bed. Bridgette stood there waiting for Gwen but when she didn't answer, the blonde sighed and walked out of the trailer. Once left alone, Gwen buried her head in her pillow and strangely started to laugh; the look on Courtney's face when she almost yelled at her. Even Duncan looked surprised to see her so angry and that seemed to amuse her to no end. Why? She didn't even know. Although, since she was suppose to be upset, maybe she should mope for a few days or she could just act like nothing ever happened.

"Why don't you just leave her alone!" A voice intruded on Gwen's thoughts, "She liked me first and my girlfriend first before you came alone and took her away from me!" She knew it was Trent so she ran outside and stood frozen at the stairs. Nothing had happened yet, but the look on both Trent's and Duncan's face was enough to stop a bear in its tracks. They had a good three or four feet between them, so Gwen didn't have to worry about anyone throwing punches at each other. Trent spotted Gwen and his gaze soften, "Gwen, tell him you still like me."

"I told you Trent. I don't like you anymore." Gwen growled, crossing her arms over her chest, "You and Courtney have a lot in common so go out with each other." Duncan smiled softly, glad he had rubbed off on Gwen a little bit but he quickly lost the smile as he glared at Trent then Courtney before walking to Gwen and kissing her softly on the lips and looked in her eyes. "I love you." Gwen purred softly, pecking his check and he pulled her closer, tightly against his body. Trent was hurt, the way Duncan pulled Gwen against his body broke his heart and he felt like he had shattered and he noticed Courtney looked upset, not mad or furious as she had been a few minutes before and she ran off crying. Trent was torn. He ran off, away from them. Away from the girl who now broke his heart.

"You sure you like me?" Duncan asked, kissing her neck, "I have been to juvie." He kissed her again, making her sigh and she nodded. True, she felt a bit sadden about Trent but she was with Duncan now, so she let the thought softly slip her mind as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. As he held the girl in his arms, he thought back on what Chris had said earlier when the cameras weren't around and when Gwen was taking her shower.

Chris was going to suddenly end the show, giving each camper at least 500 dollars and that would be the end. Luckily he knew where Gwen lived and she didn't live too far from him. All he had to do was keep out of juvie so he could stay with Gwen and see her at school and everyday afterwards. As he thought about it; he had never noticed Gwen before at school. It is amazing how a TV show can really open your eyes and realize things like these. More to his good news, Courtney didn't live anywhere near him and neither did Trent. They went to completely different school and lived in a different county as them.

"Okay Campers." Chris said on his megaphone, happily and smiling hugely, "I have an important announcement for you all." He looked at each camper before continuing, "Unfortunately our budget is running low, so we can no longer have Total Drama Action." A few cheers of happiness were heard, along with some grumbles and complains and a few outburst about the money. "The money," Chris continued, "Will be evenly divided amongst you all, so you will each get $500." There was some agreements about the money and they each got in line to get their evenly shared money and went to get on their dedicated busses.

"This is really it." Gwen said as she and Duncan stood last in line and he looked back at her, "This is the end. We go back to boring school and live our boring lives again." She looked a bit upset and deep in thought so Duncan pulled her closer and snuggled her close to him. "At least we are in the same school. We can still be together, right?"

"Of course, Sunshine." Duncan said, "There is no way I'm leaving you now, not after what we have gone through." He smiled and lightly kissed her forehead then pulled her forward as they both collected their money and boarded the same bus. They sat together, enjoying the silence that carried over them while the others on the same bus talked loudly. Gwen leaned on Duncan, closing her eyes and slowly falling asleep.

*Confession Cam*

Duncan: It is finally over. All the madness, the tears, the pain. Everything. Now it is back to normal, well, almost normal.

*End of Confession Cam*

The school bell rang and Duncan rushed to his class, glancing back only to spot his patrol officer trailing behind him and he growled. It had been a good month since he'd done anything bad but apparently the head of juvie didn't trust him as well. He stepped into his classroom and slid into his seat, right next to Gwen and he smiled at her, "Morning."

"Good morning Duncan." Gwen smiled and she would've leaned forward to kiss him if they weren't in class, if the teacher wasn't standing there, and if Duncan's patrol officer wasn't at the door. She didn't know why they didn't trust him like she did but since they've been together, Duncan changed a lot but not enough for anyone else to notice. He was a lot nicer and actually did his work, well, Gwen had to help but she loved it. Gwen sighed as she wrote down the bell work and helped Duncan with his. The teacher looked from the board and at the two. He didn't understand. Gwen was able to pull Duncan back into class and class work but he didn't know how she was able to do it. Gwen giggled softly and Duncan smiled softly.

"Good morning class." Mr. TeacherDude spoke to the class and a couple of mourning were said back and he went on with the class, talking about atoms and stuff like that. It took all it had in Duncan to stay away and take the notes; this was the first time he had actually stayed awake in a class and did his work. He didn't know how other kids did this type of thing every day. If felt like his brain would explode because he was learning so much in this one day. He glanced at Gwen, who was writing notes and he sighed; if only they didn't have to worry about school. "Duncan." He snapped his head foreword to see Mr. TeacherDude standing by his desk, "Would you care to tell me what the answer is to the first question."

"Um." He looked down at the book on his desk, "I think it means that people back then really believed in witches back then and they went around accusing everyone of being one, even if they were innocent." He scoffed, "They weren't really smart if they believed in that crap." The room was quiet and Duncan looked sheepishly up at the teacher, who seemed to be speechless.

"Good job Duncan." Gwen said then leaned forward and kissed his cheek, "See what paying attention during class can get you? You've just prove to everyone that you are smart and actually care about learning things." She smiled and Duncan smiled. He felt good about himself and he had Gwen to thank for.

Fruits0basket02: Done with this chapter but don't fret, there will be another one! Sorry for the long wait but I became really busy when school started and I was totally brain dead when I came home from marching band practice. Yes, I am a band geek, nerd, whatever. Well, until next chapter. 3
