Chapter Six

The smell of roses lingered in the air. Alejandro was still staring at Bridgette.

"Why don't you have a seat?"

"I'd rather stand." Bridgette said.

Her day had just gotten remarkably stranger. First the Devil's Mountain is attacked and now this.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"It's not what I want chica, but what you want." He said.

"So Bridgette what do you want?"

"It's a bad idea." Gwen said following Geoff who was going to the van.

Geoff shrugged and put some of Beth's luggage in. "Why was it a bad idea. You want to find Trent and I want to take Bridgette to get medical care, easy solution split up."

"It's not that simple. After what we witnessed why do you think we should split up?" Gwen asked.

Gwen and Geoff never really liked each other. Correction Gwen didn't like him. He was the cliche party guy, full of positive energy and she was the negative goth girl. He probably wouldn't even invite her to a party. Gwen knew Bridgette wanted her here, not him.

"Safety in numbers Geoff." She said.

He shrugged. "Me and DJ are going and anyone who wants to come with us is welcomed."

He looked to her. "You go find Trent, and make sure he's safe. I have to make sure my girlfriend lives." He said.

Geoff winced when he said girlfriend. He wasn't entirely sure what they were now that he knew she cheated on him. Of course he would give her a chance to speak but..he just wasn't sure if he wanted to hear it. Gwen hugged him. It was unusual for her to shows any emotion, especially to Geoff, yet she hugged him anyway.

"Be safe Geoff. Bridgette would kill me if something happened to you."

Geoff hugged her back and smiled. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you were worried about me." He said grinning.

Gwen rolled her eyes. "You don't know any better." She said walking off.

Gwen blushed secretly. Maybe she didn't like his cheerful attitude, but she cared about him. He was her friend.

"Is there still no service?" Leshawna asked.

Cody nodded. "Yep."

"How will I update my blogs!" Sierra squealed.

Leshawna frowned. " Maybe you should worry about the fact we can't call 911."

Sierra blushed. "That too."

Leshawna reached into her purse and found a sheet of paper. "What's this?"

She pulled it out and saw the paper was written neatly in yellow ink.

"Another love note! What does it say?" Sierra squealed.

"Hold on girl, jeez you're more excited than I am." Leshawna said.

"I have loved

I have lost

But nothing compares to the love for you my precious Leshawna

You are my sun that lights up world"

"That's all it said?" Cody asked.

Leshawna grinned. "No, but let's just say after that it got a little steamy." She said.

"That's so romantic." Sierra said.

She then frowned and turned to Cody. "How come you never write me steamy love poems?" She asked.

"Because we're not dating."

"What? I thought you liked me." Sierra said frowning.

Noah decided to step in. "Of course, because whenever a guy runs away from you and threatens to file a restraining order, that means they like you." Noah said sarcastically.

Leshawna and Cody laughed. Sierra frowned and looked like she was hurt.

"Well Codykins if you don't feel the same way, I'll leave." She said.

"Thank god." Noah said.

Thirteen year old Alejandro looked over the dead body of his sister. Tears streamed down his face. The funeral nice, a lot of people showed up. He wasn't sure if that should comfort him, but it only made his pain deepen.

His mother was at the back crying, his father was on the phone, business call.

"Jackass. Doesn't even care about his own daughter." Alejandro muttered under his breath.

Then Alejandro felt a hard force grab the back of his neck. He made sure not to move, afraid he'd cause a scene.

"Hello Jose, he said instantly identify the force."

He looked at Jose and noticed he showed no sadness for what HE did. For the fact that he killed her sister. He glared at Jose.

"How could you do this? She was family." He said.

"Bitch had it coming? Now who's going to protect you.

XXX

"Earth to Alejandro!" Heather yelled snapping her fingers.

Alejandro instantly came back to reality. "What is it mi amor?" Alejandro said.

Heather growled. "I thought I told you not to call me that." She hissed.

"I know, but your yelling turns me on." He said.

"You know you really planned a wrong time to tell Geoff about me and Bridgette's hookup." Alejandro said sitting down.

Heather rolled my eyes. "I wanted to get revenge on that blond whore, and I saw an opportunity. At least she has something to look forward to when she wakes up." She said laughing.

Alejandro stepped closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her forehead and started to descend down to her neck. Heather moaned, as Alejandro started to give her a hickey. Alejandro came back up and whispered in her ear.

"Were you jealous?" He said.

Heather pushed him away angrily. She tried to pretend she didn't just let the enemy kiss her.

"Why would I be jealous? I have moved on to bigger and BETTER things. Emphasis on BIGGER and BETTER." Heather yelled.

Alejandro laughed. "You really had fun screwing around with Trent? That rockstar wannabe wish he had abs like mine."

Heather ignored his comment.

XXX

Heather and Trent laid in Heather's large bed. Trent laughed and turned to Heather.

"Wow Heather, that was just, wow" He said.

Heather gave a pleased look. She was happy to know that she one upped Gwen. Gwen would never be able to sleep with her crush, because he belonged to Heather. Heather won, and Gwen losed. Heather would make sure to rub that in her face.

"I'm so glad you told me the truth about Gwen. I can't believe she was just using me." Trent said, not realizing Heather played him.

"I know Trent, sometimes people can be so cruel."

XXX

"Whatever, I just came to tell you that goth girl and party dude are spitling up into teams. I don't know about you, but I'm going with goth girl to find Trent." HEather said.

Alejandro frowned. "Do you still have feelings for him?" He asked.

Heather griined. She loved the power she had over him.

"Even if I did, what would you do about it?" She laughed and walked away.

XXX

Fourteen year old Alejandro stared at the gun in his hand. He felt tears stream down his face. He looked up at his older brother Jose, who was tied up beaten and brusied.

"How could you? How could you kill your own sister!" He yelled.

He aimed the gun at Jose.

"An eye for an eye right?"

Alejandro aimed the gun at Jose's forhead.

"You don't have the balls." He said.

Click. "Mom and dad will never forgive you!" Jose said.

Alejandro smiled. "I smashed all the windows and set the alarm on and hid mom's jewlry and the computer. I'll tell the police that it was a robbery and that I was knocked uncious, while you were shot in the head." He laughed.

"You psyhcotic bastard!" Jose yelled.

"For Maria." Alejandro said.

BANG.

"What did I do?" Bridgette asked.

"Pardon?" Alejandro asked.

"What did I do to deserve this? Why am I here?" Bridgette asked.

Bridgette was known to be a cool and calm pacifist. Now Bridgettte was resisting the urge to choke Alejandro.

"You are here because I have something you want." Alejandro got off her bed and walked over to her.

"What could I possibly want from you?" She hissed.

"Forgivness."

Bridgeete laughed and sighed. "I don't need to forgive you, becuase in reality you did nothing wrong. Sure you took advatage of me, but in a way I took advatnatage of you. I was using you to piss of Geoff."

"I know. That's why you don't need to forgive me but forgive yourself."

Bridgette felt tears stream down her face. "I feel awful. I cheated on Geoff!" She sobbed.

"Chica we both know you had a good reason."

XXX

Bridgette gasped and sat up. A pain in her chest throobed she groanned and looked at it. She was shirteeles with cloth holding a bleeding wound in her chest.

"Holy crap." She said.

Somebody heard her and grabbed her. It was courtney.

"Bridgette, I'm so glad you woke up, you seem pale, is that normal. Are you comfortable? Are you hungry, thirtsy, are you feeling tired, maybe you shoul-"

"Courtney I'm fine." Bridgette said laughing.

Courtney nodded and turned to Geoff who was driving the van. "She's awake." Geoff turned to BRidgette and frowned.

"Hey Bridge." He said. It praticalyl said it with no emotion. Like he didn't care, what was wrong with him.

Courtney whispered in her ear. "Geoff found out about your 'act of adultuery'." She said.

Bridgette face fell. Geoff knew. He knew she cheated on him. Who told him? Only Courtney knew and she would never betray Bridgette. Unless…

"Who told him." Bridgette asked.

"Heather." Courtney said angrlily.

Bridgette sighed. She looked at the back. A snoring Justin, Beth, and Lindsay lied cuddled up. Right next to them an antisocial Noah was reading a book. In the front seat sat Geoff, Duncan, and DJ. Sleepingon the floor a couple inches from Bridgette was Eva. Eva.

Alejandro's words still ringed in her ears. You need to forgive yourself. Maybe she shouldn't just forgive herself for her and Alejandro, but maybe about Eva to.

XXX

"You traitor!" Eva yeeld.

"Eva I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

XXX

Bridgette snapped out of her daydream. "Hello Earth to Bridgette!" Courtney yelled snapping her fingers.

"Geez princess can you be any louder I don't think everyone in Wawanaka hears you." Duncan said laughing.

"Orge."

"Goody two shoes."

"Neanderthal."

"Pampered snob."

"You little-" Bridgette grabbed Courtney before she could attack Duncan.

"We're here. We're home." Bridgette said. She looked out the window and saw her home town. And it was a disaster. Some homes and building were collapsed, there were cars flipped over, burning buildings, and there seemed to be know people around. Not in the homes or in the street.

"What the hell?" Duncan said.

XXX

"Leshawna!" Cody said chasing after her.

Leshawna turned around to face the scrawny brunette. "What is it Cody?" She asked.

"That line from the poem you were reading. It was written by someone in the band."

Leshawna gasped. Someone of the Drama Brothers wrote her a song. She gasped, damn she hoped it was Justin.

"Was Justin. Damn I knew that sexy Hawiian devil could be romantic."

"Justin does have enough brain cells to write something that deep." Cody replied.

Leshawna nodded. Damnit.

"Wait a minute is it you? Cody listen, I just see you as a friend."

Cody laughed. "Know I'm saving myself for Gwen."

"White boy please, we all know Gwen would be screwing Trent right now if they weren't so shy to make a move. Wait a minute is Trent, oh my god Trent is in love with me! What will I tell Gwen? Of course I feel the brother out, but Gwen will be so hurt." Leshawna said sighing.

"It isn't Trent."

"Well if it isn't you, Justin, or Trent… no, not that racist white boy. It can't be him. That obnoxious little creep." She said.

"Glad we're on the same page, so how does it feel to find out your Secret Admirer is Harold."

Next Time: Team Gwen looks for Trent, but faces adversity. Alejandro's past distracts him. Courtney wonders where she and Duncan stand, Leshawna searches if Harold is really the one. Team Geoff searches for answers and makes an unlikely ally.
