Three days later…

Playa des Losers was silent. No-one was gathered by the pool or in the mess hall. Everyone was in their own rooms.

As she lay in her bed, her eyes wet with tears, Courtney reflected on why everyone was in this state. Bridgette had committed suicide. Suicide! It almost seemed like it was something that would never happen to anyone that you knew, but when it happened, the results were devastating.


The day after, everyone had gathered in the mess hall to talk about it. Everyone except Geoff. Duncan had later reported that Geoff was crying heavily and blamed himself entirely for Bridgette's death. Upon hearing this news, Alejandro had rushed out of the room, muttering something in Spanish so no-one could understand him.

Courtney had presented the letter, and read it aloud to everyone, although she teared up in the middle and Gwen had to take over when she couldn't be understood anymore. After this, everyone had tears in her eyes, with the exception of Heather.

"Why are you all sad about this? She's gone, isn't she? Now we never have to see her face again." Heather had said, drawing all attention to herself. As a result of her words, Courtney and a few others had leapt at her, and when Alejandro intervened to stop the fight, Heather had sported a black eye and a split lip. Everyone glared at Heather as Alejandro had taken her away to the first aid room to be looked at.

When Alejandro returned, everyone started to discuss what to do about it. Naturally, informing Chris was the first thing suggested. With emotions running high, everyone had then started to state how they were at blame for Bridgette's death. Duncan had said he had constantly called her names, Izzy said she pulled her hair, Leshawna said that she had slapped Bridgette once, and Courtney said that her biggest sin was that she did nothing to support Bridgette.

When this point had been made, everyone had nodded or made noises of agreement, and everyone had started crying again. They all dispersed to their rooms, some making loud sobs and other silently shedding tears. There were no dry eyes, and no-one left their room for the rest of the day.


On the second day after Bridgette's suicide, Chris arrived at Playa des Losers after he had been called. When the news was revealed, Chris had instantly starting worrying, but as the contestants found out, it was more about a potential lawsuit from Bridgette's parents than her death itself. Naturally, everyone was angry and drove Chris away, instead calling Chef to help them.

Chef came, and he was a lot more helpful than Chris, relating to them, since he revealed that a close friend of his had done the same thing years ago. He took Bridgette's body and organised ways for them to travel back home. He also said that he would organise a funeral for Bridgette, and everyone would be invited. The contestants were touched by Chef's compassion and gave him a teary group hug before he left, tears in his own eyes.

Later in the day, Heather had come back from the first aid room, and while everyone had initially felt angry at her, when Heather apologised and said that she realised that she was wrong and actually did miss Bridgette, everyone had forgiven her, not wanted another person to feel isolated from their group anymore.

That night, all the campers except Geoff, who was still crying in his room, gathered in the mess hall again at Courtney's request. Courtney had suggested a goodbye ceremony for Bridgette, and everyone had agreed that it was a good idea. It was quickly organised, and everyone went to bed.


Courtney stops her reminiscing to get ready for the ceremony, which was in an hour. She got ready with all the other girls, who all wanted to look their best in respect of Bridgette.

At the ceremony, Courtney noticed that everyone was in attendance except Geoff. She called Duncan over, who was co-hosting the ceremony, and asked him where Geoff was. Normally, Courtney would avoid all interaction with Duncan, but this was a special event, so she put aside her resentment towards him for the time being.

Duncan informed her that Geoff was still in his room, and when he had tried to get him, Geoff had yelled at him to go away. Courtney sighed and decided it couldn't be helped.

Courtney started the ceremony, telling everyone that they would have the opportunity to speak about Bridgette if they chose to do so. She started by telling everyone how she bonded with Bridgette on the show, and how she became her best friend on the Killer Bass team. Courtney noticed that everyone had started crying, and started to cry herself. Even Duncan couldn't get away without dry eyes, even though he pretended that he had itchy eyes.

After her opening remarks, Courtney offered to let other people tell stories of happier times with Bridgette. Everyone found that they had something positive to say about Bridgette. Noah revealed his secret crush on her, Lindsay said she was pretty, even with no makeup, and Leshawna said that she was the best friend she'd ever had. Heather even revealed that she wished she could have been better friends with her, because she found her to be a really positive person, and she wanted to feel some of that positivity.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps, and everyone turned to see that Geoff had arrived. He looked awful, though he was wearing a nice suit. His hair was messy and he had huge bags under his red-rimmed eyes. He walked up to the microphone and, when Courtney allowed him to speak, told everyone about how much he loved Bridgette, and about all the good times they had together, and how he was truly sorry that he had lied to have a fleeting moment of revenge. When Geoff finished, everyone had started crying again, many people hugging each other and crying, such as Katie and Sadie, Lindsay and Tyler and Sierra and Cody, but Cody wasn't resisting this time.

When Geoff sat down, Courtney got up to the microphone and told everyone that they could visit the site they had for Bridgette's memorial for closure. With the ceremony closed, everyone went back to their rooms to get something to offer at Bridgette's memorial. On the way back to her room, Courtney felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see that it was Geoff.

"Hey, Courtney, I would just like to say that…" Geoff attempted to say, but he couldn't continue, so he just grabbed Courtney into a hug, surprising Courtney.

"You don't need to say anything, I know this must be really hard on you, but I hope things get better for you." Courtney said, offering Geoff a smile as they broke apart.

"Thanks." Geoff said before he left. Courtney watched him leave, a smile on her face.

Courtney walked to the memorial, a bouquet of flowers in her arms. Glad she was alone, Courtney knelt in front of the small gravestone, which read:

Here lies Bridgette, an angel. She will be terribly missed.

"Bridgette, I'm so sorry that I didn't make it to you sooner that night." Courtney said before leaving the bouquet at the gravestone and turning back to her room, tears leaving her eyes, but a smile on her face. Bridgette is in a better place now.


That's the end. What did you think? Did I make the contestants too sappy? Review and tell me what you thought. :)
