Hey guys! Here's chapter 6!

Sorry for not updating this in a long time but I kinda forgot about this story, I didn't have much motivation for it, was busy lately, and I took a break from writing for a while.

Trent wasn't too hard to think of and I figured Gwen could help cheer him up. I know this is short and not a very good chapter but this is the best I could do. And I'll try to update when I can.

And SailorMarble (who helped me with this. Thanks hon'!) and I thought of a theory concerning Gwen. We both think she lost her dad a long time ago and we think that way she could understand Trent's pain.

Next Chapter: After Dave said he loves Sky, Ella feels heartbroken. Will the lovely teen ever move on or will she remain heartbroken forever?

Until next time, Enjoy!

I don't own Total Drama or the characters.

Chapter 6: Loss (Trent)

It was a cloudy day and Gwen was coming by Trent's house to see him but his mother told him he wasn't at home.

"Do you know where he is?" she asked.

His mother told her the location and Gwen went to the place but when she arrived, she finds out it's a cemetery, "Why here?"

Gwen couldn't understand at first but then remembers one of the aftermaths during Total Drama Action and Trent mentioning his grandfather and why the number nine was his lucky number since he was a child.

"Trent..."

Gwen looks around for a couple minutes until she finds Trent kneeling down in front of the grave of his dear grandfather. When she approached him, it didn't take long for her to notice that her boyfriend had been crying for quite some time.

"T-Trent?" she spoke up a little.

Trent looks up at her with tear-filled eyes and wipes them on his sleeve before he answered back, "Gwen?" he sniffled, "W-What are you doing here?"

"Your mom told me you were here." Gwen said.

"O-Oh." he looked away and started to cry again.

Gwen starts rubbing his back and allows Trent to cry on her shoulder. She felt his pain and wished she could do something to help.

"Hey, it's okay." she said softly.

"I miss my grandpa so much..." Trent sobbed.

"I know how it feels." Gwen thought to herself.

Trent cries harder as Gwen rubs his back to comfort him, "It's been so long since it happened, but it still hurts."

"You must miss him, and I understand." she hugged him tighter.

"I do!" Trent sobbed even more than ever.

Gwen frowns and continues to comfort her broken friend. After a while, Trent calms down but he's still visibly upset and Gwen wipes his tears away.

"T-Thanks." he said.

"No problem." Gwen smiled for a brief moment and took a deep breath before she spoke again, "You know...I lost someone, too."

"You did? Who?" asked Trent.

"My dad..."

Trent is shocked because he never heard Gwen talk about her father before, "My dad died from a sickness when I was eight my brother was only nine months when he died." she explained sadly.

"I'm so sorry, Gwen." Trent placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Thanks." she takes out a small picture from her pocket and gives it to Trent, "Here is a picture of him and all of us together." shows a small picture of her dad and it was taken a few days before he died.

"This is your dad?" he asked.

"Yeah. Days before...before..." Gwen felt the tears pooling in her eyes and wasn't able to finish what she was saying.

Trent hugs her as Gwen smiles and hugs him back, "How close were you with your grandfather?" she asked before they pulled away.

"Very close." Trent sighed and gave a small smile, "You see, since my dad is a lawyer, my grandpa came and filled in that dad role for me. He was like another father in my life."

"That was so sweet of him." Gwen said as she patted his shoulder.

"Yeah." he frowned again, "Then, one day, he got sick and he told me he was going to be alright."

"Why did he say that?"

"Not to get me worried, I guess. But the more he said that, it made me upset and that's when one of the wheels of my train fell off."

"And that's when he...?" Gwen already knew the answer to that.

Trent nods and cries again as Gwen gives him another hug and rubs his back again. But this time, Trent is not crying as much as he did earlier.

"I felt so bad for getting upset like that but before he left he said, "I love you, Trent. I'll always watch over you."" Trent explained as cried.

Gwen even tears up as she remembered her dad saying the same thing to her and her brother before he died. Trent sees this and hugs her tight, causing Gwen to give a small smile.

"You miss your dad?" Trent asked and Gwen nodded, "Were you close?"

"Yes, well except my brother he was a baby when he died." she added.

"So, your brother never met him?"

"No." she shook her head.

"I'm real sorry about that." he said sadly.

"It's okay, Trent." Gwen wiped her eyes.

Then, Trent wondered about one thing, "Has your mom tried to move on?"

The goth girl gave a sigh before she answered, "She has, but she still hasn't found another guy yet. But it's okay, I've been doing great taking care of her and my brother."

"That's good." Trent smiled.

"Yeah."

"How does your brother feel about it?" he asked.

"Not sure." Gwen shrugged and looked up at the sky, "Sometimes he's okay about not having dad around, and there are times he would be sad about it."

Trent nodded and understood what she meant, "Guess it hurts him as well."

"A lot." she added.

"Again, I'm real sorry for you guys." the musician wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders.

"It's okay."

Trent sighs and looks down while Gwen rubs his back, "I wish I could've done something..."

Gwen nodded, "Same with my dad, but my mom said there was nothing we could do."

"Oh. I know what you mean." Trent nodded too.

"Yeah it's sad, but I know he's watching over me." Gwen smiled and looked at the sky again.

"Yeah. And I know my grandpa is watching over me as well." Trent added.

The two smile at each other and after they got up to leave, Gwen holds Trent's hand and they leave the cemetery. And once they were at the entrance, they shared a loving kiss.

"You okay now?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah." he nodded.

"Guess we both needed to vent, huh?" she patted his back for reassurance.

"Yep." Trent felt happy for the first time all day, "So, want to get something to eat?"

"Sure."

Gwen and Trent walk off. And as they walk off, right next to Trent's grandfather was the gravestone of Gwen's father. If you ever lose someone close to you, you can always count on your friends and family to comfort you whenever you need it. The scar may never go away, but it will heal over time.
