Before we get started I do not own Total Drama and I'm sorry for breaking all your hearts. Anyways, before we start I just want to give a big thanks to a dedicated fan of this fic, CLake! Thank you so much!


Zoey's POV

I ran into the Mutant Maggots cabin and sat on my bed to weep. The only person in there was Cameron so I didn't mind him being here to see me cry since we are friends.

"What's wrong, Zoey?" Cameron asked.

In between sobs I was able to answer, "Mike has been lying to me this whole time about a very serious secret and I just feel betrayed."

"Oh," He replied, "You mean his MPD?"

I gasped, "You mean he told you first?"

I was shocked. How could he have told Cameron and not me, his girlfriend. Well, I guess now it would be ex-girlfriend.

"Oh, no. I just found out myself. With my large knowledge of MPD from the books I've read it was easy to find out. He talks in his sleep as if he was talking to someone else and he randomly changes into character."

I breathed a sign of relief. At least I know I was the first one to be trusted with it but I still felt horrible. Why would he not tell me about something so serious? I decided to ask Cameron. I knew he wouldn't know much about dating but I also knew he would try to give me the best advice.

"Why'd you think he lied to me like that?" I asked.

"Well," He said, "I assume he must have been bullied for it. Maybe he thought you wouldn't like him and would think about him differently. Maybe he just wanted to be treated like a regular guy."

"Wow, how did you know? Also, why wouldn't he trust that I wouldn't act in such a way?"

"Well, I've read a lot of books where the same things happen and to answer your second question, he loves you so much Zoey. He talks about you non-stop. He probably couldn't handle being away form you after so long."

That was when I realized. I was being such a jerk! Mike just wanted to be treated normal for once and he was scared I would leave him and that is exactly what I did. For a different reason then he thought but still. I needed to talk to him. I waved to Cameron and ran out of the cabin without word. I needed to make things up with Mike. Hopefully, I can find him.

Mike's POV

After everything went down with Zoey I went deep into the forest and huddled up against a tree to slowly sob. I always mess things up. Nobody ever loved me except my parents and lets face it, that's only because they have to. I'm a failure. A failure as a boyfriend, a failure as a child, a failure as a person. I'm just a big failure.

Suddenly, I heard foot steps. I hid behind the tree. There was no way I would make myself look like more of a fool in front of the campers than I already do. I looked around to see who it was. Although, it was dark so I couldn't quite see who it was. Then I heard the voice of the person. Immediately, I knew who it was but why was she back? I lied to her I was a terrible boyfriend and I don't deserve her. However, I wiped my tears and tried to look like I hadn't been sobbing.

"Mike!" She said, "There you are. It looks like you've been crying! Are you okay? I'm so sorry. I was such a jerk!"

No, I was the bad guy!" I protested.

However, she insisted it was her fault.

"No Mike! All you wanted to do was be normal for a second and to have me back and I ruined that! Cam made me realize that. I'm so sorry!"

"I'm sorry too." I replied and for a while we just sat there and cuddled, huddled up together. Keeping each other warm on the inside and out. I may not be normal. Of course, I'm not but Zoey makes me feel normal. She doesn't care and I'm so generous for that because she has no idea how much she has changed my life in a good way. She makes me feel loved. Like I matter.

"Thank you." I said.

She looked puzzled and she asked, "For what?"

"For accepting me, you have no idea how much it means to me. All the bullies at school, they hurt me so much. They make me feel like I'm an alien from Mars but you make me feel normal and you will never know how much you mean to me and how grateful I am."

She replied, "Your welcome Mike. You mean a lot to me too, like I have someone. Someone I can trust and who will always be there for me."

We kissed again. I honestly don't know how long it was but I don't care. She completed me and when we kiss I feel like we're a puzzle that has finally be connected together and finished. Complete. Eventually, I broke away from the kiss. She looked sad and confused as to why I stopped but I had realized something. Zoey and I had never officially gotten back together. I needed to make it official so I looked her in the eyes and I held her hand.

"Will you be my girlfriend again?" I asked.

She replied, "Of course."

We walked back to the cabin together, hand and hand. No words, just love and it was the best feeling ever, to know I'm loved. I will never be able to thank her enough. I will never be able to repay her, to tell her how grateful I am and just how much I love her.
