Ch 3
A few days later I was aimlessly walking around the island thinking to myself. The two teams are merged for the rest of the show. Now it's every man or woman for themselves. It sucks. No alliances can be really made unless you wanted to backstab. I was almost glad I lost today. It's been getting harder and harder for me to avoid Alejandro. Every time we look at each other, he has this look of hatred and satisfaction. Like he got his revenge on me. There have been times that I thought about quitting the show and going home. But I don't want him to think that he won. I'm still as strong as I was when we first met. I won't lie, it really does hurt knowing that he hates me. But I deserved it. I just want things to be at least civil between us.
I walked over to the little pond and sat down. Sighing, I started skipping some rock. While doing that I began thinking about everything that happened in my life. I was never really loved by my family, the only guy that I actually liked, no, loved truly hates me, and the only person that loves me is my 1-year-old daughter.
"You look lonely."
I turned around and saw Duncan.
"And your point?" I asked.
He sat down by me, "C'mon Bee Queen. Somethings wrong. You're not your rude self."
"Like you want to know." I rolled my eyes.
"Well duh," he started, "that's why I asked."
I sighed, "You really don't want to know."
Duncan laughed, "That only makes me want to know even more!"
I chuckled, "You won't like it."
"C'mon, just tell me."
"Fine," I began, "a couple of days ago, I was in my room reading, then I heard the door open. I thought it was you or Courtney so I didn't think much of it. But then someone pinned me to my bed. When my vision cleared, I saw it was Alejandro. One thing leads to another and now…"
He interrupted me, "So he raped you?"
I looked at him, "Kinda. I kinda let him do it."
"Wow," he stared at me, "even then. I'm really sorry that happened. Was he wearing a condom at least?"
I broke down crying, "No…"
"Oh, God." He pulled me into a hug. At this point, I didn't care. I needed someone to talk to.
Later that day I was lying on the bunk bed reading when I heard the door open extremely hard.
"What the?-"
I felt someone hugging me. I pulled the person away and saw the hugger was Courtney.
"What are you doing Court?" I asked extremely shocked.
She looked at me with sad eyes, "Duncan told me everything! I can't believe something like that would happen to you, Heather! I'm so sorry!"
I sighed, "It's not your fault Courtney. I'm somewhat okay. I'm just really considering not telling the bastard about Ali. If anything I shouldn't tell him anything!"
She looked at me shocked, "Heather, I know he hurt you a lot but you need to consider his mental being. He might have not been completely there. He was in that robot for almost two years! That had to do something with his mind."
"You're right. I just can't get over the fact he probably did that as a way of revenge. He's the only one that knows that I'm really shy in bed, and we all know that I hate being overruled."
Then we heard the megaphone come on and there was Chris's annoying voice, "Everyone to the elimination fire! Someone's going home!"
We walked to the elimination site. Courtney sat with Duncan and I sat by myself. I took a deep breath and hoped I didn't get eliminated. I'm so close to the million. I can almost taste it. I saw that Alejandro was smirking at me. I gave him a death glare and looked away. At this point, he's just taunting me. Jerk.
I can see that Zoey, Duncan, and Courtney were nervous. I was nervous too. But Alejandro, he was smirking, as if he knew what was going to happen.
Chris came out smirking, "Good evening campers. Who's ready to know who's staying?" He then started throwing the Marshmallows to the people who were safe. "Alejandro you're automatically safe for winning the challenge. Duncan, you're safe for today. So are you Zoey. That just leaves Heather and Courtney." He smiled in an evil manner.
Courtney and I looked at each other. One of us is going home. Then we heard Chris say, "Courtney, you're safe too. Heather, you're out of here!"
I just looked at the ground. I shouldn't be too surprised but I am. I can't believe I lose, in the top 5. I turned and looked at the other contestants and saw that Zoey looked guilty and Alejandro looked very satisfied. He persuaded her to vote for me, of course, he did.
We went to the "Flush of Shame" and I got in. Yuck!
"Got any last words?" Asked Chris.
I frowned and looked to Alejandro and said, "I hope you're proud of yourself. Because I'm sure you are. Believe me or not but I am truly sorry for what I did. But I hope someone takes you down you jerk!"
Duncan and Courtney smiled at my final words while Alejandro looked shocked. He must know I'm angry at him. He then looked away.
Chris then pressed the button and the toilet flushed me down. Finally, I'm out of hell.
