The next morning, Gwen didn't even bother to change into actual clothes but instead she decided to just stay in her pajamas. She didn't brush her teeth or comb her hair or even take a shower. Instead, the kicked her door open and walked down to Trent's room. She knocked on his door.

"Trent? Are you awake?"

"Yes. Go away."

"But I want to talk to you…"

"Oh please, you don't even know what's wrong with me."

"Really? Because I went to the source of your anger and she ended up telling me what's wrong with you."

Trent didn't respond.

"Trent? Are you going to let me in or not?"

"Not."

Gwen groaned and rolled her onyx eyes. "Trent, come on, I'm your best friend. Please, let me talk to you about this. I just want to help…"

Instantly, the door opened and Trent stood there, eyeing her. "Fine."

Gwen grinned at her victory. "Thanks." She walked into his room. The place was a mess, items were scattered all over the floor and Trent's drawers were open, revealing pants and boxers. "What happened in here?"

Trent rubbed his hand against the back of his neck. "Anger management?"

Ignoring this, the Goth sat herself onto Trent's bed, which was also messy, as the covers were undone and there were crumbs of chocolate all over the place. Trent took a seat next to Gwen.

"You look horrible…" Gwen told him. She was right. Trent's hair was messier than hers, and he had bags under his emerald eyes.

"I'm sure I do…"

"Did you get any sleep at all last night?"

"I tried to get some sleep…"

"You didn't?" Gwen was shocked.

"No, I did, but I didn't get much sleep… It's hard to fall asleep when you're thinking about someone…"

"So you couldn't sleep because you were busy thinking about Courtney?"

"Don't say her name!" Trent threatened.

Gwen wasn't amused by Trent's threat, "Trent, I'm going to have to say it."

"Why?"

"Because I think it's best if we talk about this."

"Fine, let me hear it." Trent sounded extremely uninterested.

"I know Courtney just used you to—"

"Don't remind me!" Trent folded his arms and looked away.

"Hey! It's rude to interrupt!" Gwen reminded him, "Let me finish… I know Courtney used you to make Duncan and I jealous but you walked in at the absolute worst possible timing. See, she was about to tell Bridgette that she didn't want to use you anymore. She really developed feelings for you, and now she's really upset, just like you, because you told her off. I think it would be best if you gave her another chance…"

"I don't want to give her another chance…" Trent admitted.

"What? Why? She's like, perfect for you. She plays an instrument, loves music and loves to sing. Plus she's totally confident, just like you."

"But she's a heartbreaker."

"What? No she's not…"

"She broke my heart, Justin's heart, and Duncan's heart."

"She never broke Duncan's heart…"

"Yes she did. Remember the way she acted towards him when she returned to the show in season two?"

"She didn't exactly break his heart… More like his balls…"

Trent let out a chuckle. "You got a good point there…"

"Besides, you two could end up being friends afterwards, kind of like you and I…"

"Are you kidding? Did you see what she did to Duncan after she found out he cheated on her? Why are you helping Courtney anyway? She turned everyone against you, got you eliminated, and nearly bit your head off when she arrived here."

"Well we were such great friends before Duncan came along, I didn't want to lose her as a friend. Besides, I don't like giving up on my friends, which is why I promised Courtney I would talk to you about this." Gwen explained, "Which is also why I think you shouldn't give up on her, either." She nudged her friend, "So, what do you say? Are you going to give her another chance?"

"I don't know… I guess I need some time to think about it…"

The loner gave her ex-boyfriend a hug and got on her feet. "Take as long as you need. I'll go see how Courtney's doing."

An aggravated look grew upon Trent's face. "Good luck with that…"

Gwen opened the door to Courtney's room, only to find Courtney watching television. She was still sniffling, but not as bad as last night.

"Courtney… Hey… How are you feeling?"

"I can't say I'm feeling better…" Courtney wiped a tear away from her eye. This time, she wasn't wearing any mascara, so she didn't need to worry about streaks of make up running down her cheeks.

"But you aren't feeling worse?"

"Can't say that either."

Gwen sighed. She didn't like seeing two of her friends act like they've gone insane, especially considering they never acted like this. "I'm assuming you didn't get any sleep either?"

"You couldn't get to sleep?"

"No, Trent couldn't."

"Trent!" Courtney's lip began to quiver, as if she was about to start sobbing again.

"No, no! Don't cry! I talked to him for you!"

Instantly, Courtney's depressing mood went away as her eyes widened. "You did?"

"Yeah, I told you I would…"

"What did he say? Does he forgive me? Does he still love me?"

At this point, Gwen was starting to think Courtney was a little too obsessed with Trent. "Well, he hasn't exactly forgiven you yet. He said he needs some time to think about it. But don't take that as a no, he just needs some time to himself…"

"I wish he didn't… I feel so lost without Trent… Sure, we only dated for a couple hours, but when we were "friends", I realized that he wasn't like the other boys competing on this stupid show. He's different. He's kind and considerate and fun to talk to. I don't understand why you let him go…"

"I thought it was the right thing to do. You know what they say, if you love someone, let them go."

"I hate that saying… It's totally useless. Why would you want to let someone you love go? That's like saying you want to put your only child up for abortion when you don't have any money problems and you aren't a teenage parent…"

"Umm… I don't quite think that's what the saying means…"

"As if it matters… Trent is perfect and I don't want to let him go. I just wish he would forgive me already. It's not bad enough that he hates me, but I hate myself for even thinking about using him."

"To be honest, you never really made me the slightest bit jealous."

"Shocker…" Courtney was being sarcastic.

"Listen, why don't you go visit him tonight and straighten things out if it's really bothering you that much?"

"Are you crazy? He hates me! I'm not going to go and talk to someone who hates me!"

"You could at least try. I mean, he's already considering taking you back. Perhaps he'll want to talk to you!" Gwen encouraged.

"Yeah right…" Courtney fell on her back.

"Listen, I'm going to go get us some breakfast. Why don't you sit here and think about paying Trent a little visit?"

"I used to get Trent breakfast…" Tears began to fill Courtney's eyes. This caused Gwen to panic.

"Okay! I'll be right back!"Gwen rushed out of the room and towards the cafeteria. Courtney began to cry again. She shoved her face within her hands to hide it, although, it didn't really hide it too much…

Shortly, Gwen returned carrying two plates with bacon, eggs and toast. Courtney's crying had calmed down within the short time Gwen was gone.

"Hey, I brought you bacon, eggs and toast… I hope you like them…"

Courtney sniffled, "This is what I used to bring Trent…"

"Aw, Courtney… It'll be okay. I promise."

"I hope you're right…" Courtney took her plate from Gwen.

"Me too…" Gwen muttered under her breath. She didn't want the CIT to hear her comment, especially since she was already depressed enough.

"Gwen…"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think it was selfish of me to use Trent?"

"Of course I do… But seeing that you regret it, I haven't lost any respect for you."

"I never said anything about losing respect for me…"

"I know." Gwen told her.

"Do you think he'll take me back?" Courtney wondered.

"I'm sure he will. Trent's a nice guy. If he really loves you, he'll reconsider you. And I'm positive he loves you."

"You think so?"

"Well, that depends, do you love him?" Gwen asked.

Courtney took a bite out of her toast. "Of course I love him. He's my Trenty… Well… He was my Trenty, anyway…"

Courtney's pet name for Trent still freaked Gwen out. But she'd allow it considering they're both her friends.

"So, have you thought about talking to him tonight?"

"I guess I will… I'll do anything to get him back…"

"That's true love right there, Courtney…"

"Well, I'm in love with him. To be honest, I never really loved Duncan this much…" Courtney admitted. She didn't really like to admit things, but she enjoyed telling Gwen things like this.

"Really?" Gwen was surprised.

"Yeah, really…"

"Wow…"

"What?" The CIT was curious.

"Well, back when we were still on the show, it sounded like you loved Duncan a lot. I mean, you always talked about him…"

"I know. But I love Trent more than I ever loved Duncan. Besides, Duncan is yours now, not mine."

Gwen's plate was now empty. She got up and threw the paper plate away. "I'd better get going. I don't want to look like this all day. You should get ready, too."

"Get ready? But, it's only 10:03..."

"Does it matter what time it is?"

Courtney rubbed her hand against the back of her neck, "Well, I guess it doesn't…"

Gwen headed for the door. "I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay…"

"See you." Gwen left.

Courtney fell on her back and listened to her television. She was watching an old episode of Total Drama Action Aftermath.

"I'm on Team Gwen. Not because I like her, but because Trent is a loser, by choice."

The CIT let out a sigh. "What was I thinking back then?"
