Chapter 9
Bad Cop
~A few months later~
Bex's P.O.V.
You will never believe what I found! It's this old DVD...Okay, not so impressive, but it's what's on the DVD that's the best part. It's called Total Drama Island. It's a reality show that kicked off before I was born and ended...Before I was born. But there were more seasons after that! Cool, huh?
Now, the really good part is that mom and Duncan are on there. I know, it's weird, but in a good way. It's how they met; how sweet.
UGH! I don't do well with 'sweet'.
It's not just mom and Duncan, either. I know loads of people on there. Bridgette and Geoff are on there, that's how they met too. DJ's on there, so is Harold, Chris and Heather. The actual show looked horrible to be on. But I wasn't on it, so I was laughing so much while watching it. The torture Chris put everyone through was truly the work of an evil genius. Maybe I did underestimate that old man...
I stayed up watching it all night. It was a Sunday so I didn't have filming that day. Good thing, too, I was exhausted from staying up all night laughing so much. I'm surprised mom didn't hear me; she hadn't had a good night sleep in weeks. There was something bothering her, I could tell. But, if I asked, she wouldn't tell me what it was. She's always keeping secrets from me, especially since her and Duncan got together. Speaking of Duncan, mom let him stay the night. I don't even want to begin to think what they got up to.
As I was putting the disc back in its case, that way I could return it to Bridgette without her knowing I took it; I found another disc in there. I hadn't noticed it when I was taking the disc out, so I took it out and had a look to see what it said on the front of it.
Total Drama Reunion: Behind the Drama.
I smirked down at the DVD in my hand and placed it in m DVD player, praying that it was what I had been hoping for. I clicked play and lied back in bed. Chris' gleaming smile came across the screen and I instantly knew it was exactly what I had been hoping for. Cast interviews.
Cast interviews could tell you a lot more about people through interviews. And they were also good for getting the dirt and shit.
"Hello, and welcome to Total. Drama. REUNION!" The audience burst out into a loud round of applause and I scrambled to find the volume down button. "Now, we have twenty-three people to catch up with." Twenty-three? On Total Drama Island there were only twenty-two people. "Twenty-three? Well, that's a bit more than our original twenty-two, so for all of you who haven't seen our newest season, Total Drama World Tour, we introduced two new vict-Uh, contestants. Now, that still leaves us down one. The big question is; what's happened to Courtney? The girl left after the very first season and never returned. No one knows where she is an-We're running out of time! Let's get on with the cast interviews." I quickly picked up the remote and paused the show, not wanting to watch the interviews when I couldn't think straight.
Mom never went back because of...me. I stopped her from meeting back up with her friends. I stopped her from competing in the other seasons. I stopped her from having a life. It was all my fault.
Duncan's P.O.V.
There was something wrong with Courtney. She wasn't acting like herself, she was different. And not a good different. She was distant from me and Bex and everyone else. I was worried about her. She let me stay with her for a few days, just so I could keep an eye on her. At night I cuddled her up next to me, but every time I went to kiss her good night, she moved away. There was something dreadfully wrong with her and I was worried.
"Morning, Duncan." Bex said, skipping into the kitchen. I was sitting at the island counter, drinking coffee and reading the morning paper; usual morning junk.
"Morning." I yawned in reply.
"Not much sleep, either, huh?" She asked, taking a seat beside me and throwing something onto the counter. I folded up the newspaper and placed it beside what she had placed. And that was when I saw what Bex had put down. Total Drama Island. She'd been watching the DVD. Oh, shit...
"Bex, where did you get that from?" I asked, picking up the cover and staring at Chris' evil face in disgust.
"Oh, so you know what that is, do you?" She replied, jumping onto her feet on the stool, grabbing a torch and shining it in my eye.
"This isn't the time to go all bad cop on me!" I snapped at her. She hesitated before turning the light off and sitting back down on the stool. I watched as she took the DVD back into her hands and looked it over.
"I uh...borrowed it from Bridgette." She told me, but she wasn't sounding so sure about that. I resisted the urge to smirk and tried a parental approach instead.
"You mean, you took it from Bridgette." I corrected her.
"But you can't tell her I did!" I laughed, parental approach out the window. She was just like me, it was hard to believe.
"I won't." I replied, "As long as you give it back." Bex violently nodded her head, agreeing with me as if I had some sort of control over her at all.
"I will next time I go over there." She then started eating the toast that I had failed to keep down myself. "Actually, moms going over there later, I'll go with her."
Bex's P.O.V.
"PLEASE!" I begged. Mom was on her way out the door and she didn't want me to go with her.
"Why do you want to come, Bex?" She asked, pulling me up from the floor. I could tell she wasn't impressed with me and was getting very impatient. I could deal with that. I just needed to go with her.
"I love going to see Bridgette and Geoff. THEY'RE MY FRIENDS TOO!" I lied. I just wanted to return the DVD before one of them realized it was missing and then I'd have to answer all the weird questions about why I took it. And I didn't want that.
"Fine, you can come!" Mom yelled, she was angry at something and was taking it out on me. I was used to it. "But, you'd better keep out of the way!" She hissed, turning around walking to the car. I gave Duncan, who was standing in the doorway, a thumb up, before chasing after mom.
Bex's P.O.V
"What's in the bag, Bex?" Mom asked. I was sitting in the passenger seat as she drove us to Bridgette's place. I was clutching my once plain black backpack to my chest. I'd graffitted it with paint, glitter, sequins and everything else I could get my hands on, making it my own unique backpack. Mom had shouted at me when I did it. She said I'd ruined a perfectly good bag, but it's grown on her. I can tell.
"Just some things incase I get bored." I told her, watching out the window as we sped past houses upon houses. I had no idea where we were. Good thing I wasn't the one driving.
"Bex..." My mother warned me.
"No prank stuff!" I promised. "Just my script, a coloring book, my crayons and a DVD." Truthful answer. I has my script so I could learn a few more of my lines, the DVD to return and my book to color in. I loved coloring, but mom had banned me from usuing pencils because I stabbed one of mom's friends in the leg once. It was his own fault! Tried touching my Xbox. And I wasn't having that!
Mom, after interogating me somemore about the contents of my bag, pulled up into Bridgette's driveway. Her house was bigger than ours, but not as big as a mansion. It looked as if it belonged in Malibu, but, then again, so did Bridgette and Geoff. Their house was amazing inside and out. It had four bedrooms, one with it's own bathroom, two more bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, study, living room and games room. Now I'm starting to sound like an estate agent.
As soon as Bridgette opened the front door she grabbed mom's arm and dragged her up the staircase. I didn't even get a hello.
"Geoff's just made some burger's, help yourself!" The blonde called back to me, as if she had only just realized I was there. Once the two were out of sight, I made a quick dash for he living room so I could return the DVD. I placed it back in the cabinet where I found it and wiped a bead of sweat from my face.
"What you up to?" I turned to face the door with a gasp, Geoff was standing there, arms folded, eyebrow raised.
"I-I was just l-looking through your DVD's! Sorry, I should have asked." I looked down at the floor 'in shame'.
"It's alright, lil' dudette. I don't mind." He ruffled my hair and I looked up to see a soft smile on his face. "Anything you wanna borrow, just take it." I smiled back and closed the cabinet. "Come on, I've just made some burgers." I followed Geoff into the kitchen where there was a stack of freshly made burgers. I instantly grabbed one and plastered it with ketchup. Geoff only laughed at me, which was good.
Courtney's P.O.V.
It felt like deja vu to me. I was sitting in an unfamiliar bathrrom, staring down at a little pink plus sign. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. Duncan was so careless when it came to using contraception. But I couldn't pin it all on him, it takes two to tango. The two of us were in that deep with it again.
Bridgette pulled me into a tight hug, she'd promised to stay by me all the way. I felt so vulnrable at that point, like a little child myself. The only thing I could think about was how I was going to explain this to Bex. The past few weeks had been nothing but drama for her, this would hurt her badly. I couldn't put my little girl through that.
"What are you gonna do?" Bridgette asked, perching herself on the edge of the bathtub. I didn't look up from the floor, my mind was all over the place. What was I going to do?
"I don't know." I admitted. Tears were starting to string together in my eyes. I didn't know what I was going to do. There weren't a lot of options for me this time around.
"Well, the best thing to do is put on a brave face and go downstairs." I nodded my head. Bridgette always knew what I needed to do next.
The two of us walked downstairs once my tears had dried and I no longer looked half as bad as I did before. Bex was sitting in the games room with Geoff, apparently kicking his butt at some game on the PS3. The two of them had empty plates beside the, covered in crumbs from the burgers. Ketchup plastered their mouths, but they either didn't notice or didn't care. I watched them from the doorway, Bex was having so much fun.
"If you want to go home and sort some things out, Bex can stay here tonight." Bridgette offered. It was the best offer I'd had all day.
"Thank you." I whispered in her ear, hugging her tightly. "Bex."
"Yeah." She replied, not looking away from the screen. Very typical of her.
"Are you okay to stay with Bridgette and Geoff tonight?" I asked.
"NO, NO NO!" She yelled at the screen, but I didn't flinch. "'Kay, mom." She answered. "But if you just want some alone time with Duncan, you can tell me to get lost, you know."
"Trust me, that's far from what I wanna do."
