Here's our Gwent songfic one-shot, to the song of Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects, written by... silentmusician202 !


"Are you sure you want to do this Gwen?"

"Yes, Bridgette. I want to do this." Gwen studied herself in the mirror, and adjusted her make up. When she decided it was good, she turned to her blonde friend. "Why are you objecting this so much?"

Bridget sighed, collapsing onto the hotel room's red couch. "Gwen. Do you know how much you've hurt him?"

Gwen sighed. "Yes." She took a seat next to her. Gwen thought of what she had to do. She rubbed her arm. "But I think I should do this."

"Have you even thought this through?"

Gwen frowned, lost in thoughts. "Yes. I thought this through. I've played the whole scene in my mind over and over again."

Bridgette lightly patted her shoulder. "Something seems to be bothering you. I came here to see if you're okay. Are you?"

Gwen faded into empty loneliness. "I'm getting by. I'm so nervous. Without Trent, I don't know what I will do, but I know I have to do this. I can't lead him on. And Duncan..."

Bridgette hugged her friend, being gentle so she wouldn't break her. "You'll get through this."

Gwen's lightly smiled. "I know I will. I have you and Trent to blame. You two have helped me through this. Thank you, Bridgette." She hugged Bridgette, surprising her. Then she pulled back. "That's why I have to do this."

"Don't do this!" she tried to reason, in a desperate attempt. "This will just ruin everything we all have!"

"I have to do this."

"But this is just going to end up hurting you Gwen!"

Gwen jumped up. "Then I guess that it's going to hurt me. I can't be so selfish anymore. I'm doing this."

"Have you ever thought that you might return his feelings?"

"I can't return his feelings! I don't want the both of us to get hurt. "She sighed. "Say what you want, I am doing this."

Bridget stood up. "But Gwen." It was too late. Gwen had already closed the hotel door shut.

She leaned on it, and sighed. Bridgette didn't understand. She had to do this. Even if it did hurt both of them. She shut her eyes and breathed deeply. "I can do this," she mumbled. "I-I-I can-"

"Gwen?" Gwen opened her eyes to see Trent coming over to her.

She gulped. "Trent."

"Are you ready for tonight?" he asked, talking about the Total Drama karaoke special Chris had forced them to do.

Gwen rolled her eyes. "I wish I could get out of it."

Trent grinned. "Oh Gwen. Don't be so modest."

Gwen giggled, then suddenly stopped. She rubbed her arm. "Is it true?"

Trent's face grew dark. "Is what true?"

"Geoff told me."

"What did he tell you?"

Gwen rubbed her forehead. "He told me that you...still love me."

"Is something wrong with that?"

"Yes something is wrong!" She threw her arms out. "I've told you I'm not ready to go into a relationship yet! After Duncan..."

"After Duncan what?" he yelled angrily. "After he left you for Courtney? Gwen, just get over it!"

"I can't! You wouldn't know how much it hurt me! I thought I was doing everything right, but really. I was doing everything wrong. You would never know how that feels!" she stopped when she saw Trent's hurt face.

"I don't huh?" he said, more hurt than ever. Trent knew exactly how she felt. He felt it when she broke up with him. He thought he could patch things up with Gwen. He thought that they could be friends again, but he was wrong.

"I think we should stop seeing together."

That final blow hurt Trent the most. "Well. Gwen. Don't expect me to take any more of you from now on!" he stormed off, leaving Gwen alone.


"Are you sure you want to do this Trent?"

"Yes, Geoff. I want to do this." Trent studied himself in the mirror and adjusted his hair. He paced around the studio dressing room, Geoff followed him.

"But do you know how much this will hurt her?"

"Yes. I know."

"And you're still going to do this?"

"Yes." Trent passed the mirror again, and decided to fix his hair some more. He had to get ready. He was about to be on TV. Once his hair was ready he turned to the door, where Geoff was standing, blocking his path. "Move," he said harshly.

Geoff crossed his arms disappointingly. "I know you're mad dude, but...don't do anything too rash. You haven't thought this through!"

"I have thought this through!" Trent yelled, throwing his hands up into the air. "I've thought about this for a while! Ever since she broke my heart...Now it's time for her to know how much I was hurt."

"But she's hurt right now Trent! She's delicate! Don't do this; you'll just ruin whatever chances you two have of being close."

"Well maybe I don't want to be close with her." Trent tried to push him away, but Geoff remained strong.

"You do Trent. You're just hurt. That's no excuse. THIS isn't really what you feel! This is just what you want her to think you feel!"

"Move!" He roared.

"No!" Geoff and Trent stared at each other. It was clear neither of them were giving up. Geoff's voice softened. "Duncan just broke her heart. The first person she came to for help was you. How could you be angry about that?"

Trent stepped back. "Are you kidding? She broke my heart for him! And now when he breaks her's she thinks she can just crawl back to me and think it's okay? It's not okay! It was never okay!" At that Geoff truly saw his friend's pain.

He saw everyone smile Trent made, and realized that they were all fake. They were all to make people happy. How could he have not seen the torment his good friend was put through every time he saw Gwen and Duncan? And the torment he was put though watching every tear Gwen cried over Duncan. But the worst torment of all was that he loved her, that he always loved her. So he did all those things; he acted happy, he acted like nothing happened between them all for her.

Now that she had pushed him away Trent was finally going to show her all his hate, but it wouldn't help him let go of the pain.

All he could do was try.

Geoff still stood straight. "I still can't let you go dude. This is only going to make things bad."

Trent knit his brow, then push Geoff away with all his strength. "I'm going to get her back." When the door was finally clear Trent stepped through it. "Say what you want, I'm going to sing." Even if it was rash, Trent was going to do anything to get rid of that pain.

"Don't get so pissed because you were rejected!" Geoff yelled.

"Blah blah blah!"


"Welcome back to the Total Drama Karaoke Special!" Chris greeted with faux excitement. The cameras focused on him ,and he smiled. "We just heard Katie and Sadie's soulful rendition of single ladies! Let's give a hand to those two."

Katie and Sadie stood up, beaming. Trent stared at the stage from backstage,not even glancing at his fan girls. He was looking at Gwen.

Gwen caught his stare and gave him a lukewarm smile, but she could sense something strange about Trent. She tried to find the happy, sweet, sensibility of her kind friend, but found nothing. There was a coldness in his stare, something that caught her off guard.

"Almost time," Harold told him.

Trent nodded. "This isn't wrong right?"

Harold shrugged. "Revenge knows no limits."

"And now!" Chris said into the camera. "The moment you all waited for. A performance from The Drama Brothers' own Trent!"

Harold nudged Trent. "Time to rock and roll."

Trent smiled. He walked up onto the stage. "Hey!" He said into the microphone. "I'm Trent. This song goes out to someone special, Gwen." He turned his eyes to Gwen, and smirked. "I hope you all know it."

He looked out into the crowd as the drummer started the beat. Through the few seconds of the intro, Trent's heart started to beat wildly. He started feeling second regrets. Did Gwen really deserve this? He thought of the special moments he had with her, then the bad one began to drop on him. He dumped her, and barely gave a true apology. She never even given him a chance to explain himself, she convinced his team to vote him off, she kissed Duncan, and without a true apology. He closed his eyes, then he began opened his mouth to sing.

"I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place.
And you're still probably working
At a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes" He smiled wickedly.

"When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell" Gwen sat on the benches with her friend in surprise. Gwen wasn't mad, she was sad, heartbroken.

"Now where's your picket fence love And where's that shiny car Did it ever get you far?
You never seem so tense, love
Never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?" He leaned on his microphone and ate up the applause.

He leaned towards Gwen." And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying!" He winked at her and took the microphone off the stand.

He strolled towards the benches. "When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell," He looked at Duncan.

"If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell"

Trent stepped right in front of Gwen, and leaned down to face her.

"Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
If you look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well," It didn't come out as strong as he hoped. Seeing Gwen's face as he sang the song didn't give him the redemption he thought he got. He just felt even more of the pain he hoped this song would destroy. It was just another failure.

Gwen too, was destroyed by that song. Trent's face. Gwen didn't want to believe all the hate she saw. She couldn't take it anymore. She took off, and ran off the stage.

The music stopped. So did Trent. But it took only a second for Trent to run after her. He chased her all the way out of the studio. He grabbed her arm, she pushed him away. "Get off of me!"

"Gwen."

"No! Stop it! I thought the breaking it off with you would make everything better, but you hating me...I thought it wouldn't hurt anymore, but..."

"What do you mean anymore?"

Gwen's face turned red. "Nothing."

"You have feelings for me don't you?" he asked excitedly.

Gwen turned away. "So what?"

"So what?" Trent smiled and faced Gwen. "If you have feelings for me and I have feelings for you, what are we waiting for?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry about that song Gwen. The only reason I sang it was to push away to pain. The truth is I really do love you. Don't you get it?" He leaned forward for a kiss.

She pushed him away. "No, no, no, NO!"

"Don't be scared Gwen! Just let things happen!"

Gwen sighed. "Trent. I don't want to get hurt again. Duncan..."

"Just forget about him Gwen!" He took her hand and stared at her sincerely. "I promise. I will never hurt you."

Gwen looked up at him. "Promise?"

Trent nodded. "But I'll leave it up to you." He closed his eyes and leaned forward.

Gwen continued to stare at him for a few seconds, then...


Left ya on a cliff-hanger there, didn't she? XD
