Sneaking around the disasterous plane, Alejandro snuck into Chris' editing room, a tinge of guilt barely ran through his toned body, he felt a little guilty, but this was what he had to do- to win. Heather was too good for him, she was going to win, he knew it, and he needed her gone. Doctoring a photo would do the trick, Sierra would vote Heather off, and somehow she would convince Cody to do the same. Spending the night with Heather was some of the most fun he had the entire time on the death trap, they bickered and fought, yes, but they both knew there was something more than just pure hatred, they liked each other. Along the way their black hearts started to pump again and produce enough endorphins for them to grow some sort of friendship of such. It was confusing to Alejandro, he knew he wanted her, but also wanted her gone, he couldn't have his emotions fiddled with this late in the competition, he would lose, and he didnt need that, his brother would make fun of him for it, losing because of a girl. He had the doctored photo in his back jean pocket, and scrolled back to first class, he bad bought some babousa back for them both to eat together, but just watching the petite girl left him giddy, she was so beautiful and perfect for him, he had some second thoughts about his plan, but it was useless, he had to go through with it. He saw her yawn, stretching her arms out, she still looked precious.
"That was not a first class sleep..." Heather whined, still sleepy.
"Would you like some delicious babousa?" Alejandro asked, lifting the tray ever so slightly near Heather's face, so she could smell the food.
"No." She quickly refused, turning to the side and frowning, she had finally outgrown the moaning and groaning.
"Thank you, once again for inviting me up here with you." Alejandro eyed Heather, watching her faciel features change, she grew more angry at each word he said.
"Do not mistake it for me liking you, bringing you up here was a purely strategic choice."
"Mmhmm." Alejandro teased, his smirk was growing on his face, and he saw her quickly turn to face him, anger was boiling.
"It's true, if I had seperated Sierra and Cody that wingnut would be gunning for me. You were the only one left." Heather proceeded to go on with her 'only person left' arguement for the remaining of their First Class priveleges. It was only a matter of time before Chris came inand kicked them out, and Alejandro would destroy Heather.
Dead last. Those words were never said to Alejandro, he was always the best at everything, Cody even beat him. He was digging around in the dirt, nothing was going to get him down, he was so close to winning, he wanted to celebrate in First Class by himself, relax.
"Nice to see you working hard." Heather teased, he knew she was just joking around, the tone of her voice said it, but Alejandro was peeved off, with her, with everything.
"Gee thanks, I always do." He shot back, his words were like poison.
"Hitting on ladies and coasting on their work is hard? Heather could tell he was angry, but she did want to rile him up a bit, this wasn't like their usual banter, it felt more scary than anything.
"Don't you have things to do?" Alejandro was desperately wanting to get rif of Heather, she was distracting him, and he needed to win, he had to beat her or else, she'd be safe.
"Wanna borrow my killer pick-axe?" Heather didn't tease, more as though gloated in front of. No way would she let him.
"Really?" Alejandro spoke up, turning to look at her.
"Mmmm... You know what? It's probably against the rules. Forget it." Heather's inner queen bee was coming out, she finally ha done up on Alejandro.
"Goodbye Heather." Alejandro went back to digging, the dirt getting stuck underneath his nailbed.
"I would go, but it's actually really fun watching you scrambling in the dirt. You're not usually a last place kind of..." Heather was aruptly cut off by Alejandro screaming in her face 'Leave me alone!' She was shocked, he had never gone off at her like that, she was slightly embarrassed by all of it. "Wow..." Her eyes widened while she stood frozen in her spot. "Somebody cut up on the wrong side of First Class. I'm just going to dig now... With my axe... That I won..." Heather scurried off with her axe, not too far from Alejandro. "Ugh, how am I suppose to find a barrel of oil out here in the middle of Drumheller!" She yelled frustrated, throwing her axe a metre away, she was lucky enough that it his a barrel of oil. "Hello First class." He eyed the oil. Before she could get out of the ditch she had dug, a boulder. The recgonisable screaming was heard. One hand, she wanted it to be him, on another hand, not so much. He leaned on the bolder trapping her, and chuckled. "Don't just stand there, get me outof here!" She bossed. He saw the oil gushing from the ground. "And don't even think about it Alejandro, that barrell is mine." Chris has come in, announcing they had to sing a song, now, while Heather was trapped under a boulder. He knew he would win, there was no chance of him losing now, Heather would rot under that boulder while he won the millions.
Heather's part of the song must have me Alejandro feel something, he quickly changed his mind, he wasn't going to leave her, not alone, not there. For some odd reason, Alejandro picked Heather up bridal style. "Uhh... Could you put me down?" She asked. Ruining his mood now would be for the worst.
"You will never never vote for me." Alejandro demanded, his eyes were much more wild now, his animalist instincts were definitely kicking in.
"Of course not. There's only like, two votes left anyway." Heather carressed his cheek.
"Promise?" He still didn't trust her.
"I promise." Heather was sure she was lying, but some part of her actually did want Alejandro to stay. "Now can you quit the king kong act and put me the heller down." He did as she said, before saying she promised to help him find a barrell, they would finish this challenge together.
"If anyone who asks me if I liked having his hand on my shoulder will be wedged in a hole of their own! Got it? It is all strategic!" Heather yelled into the confessional.
"I did not let my feelings get in the way of the game, It's just that I changed my mind, got it? It's all strategic." Alejandro cooly said into the confessional.
Heather was scared, she was actually going into the finals with Alejandro, he was perfect at everything. She was cut short as Sierra burst into the confessional. "We need to talk" Sierra said, she sounded calm, but there was an amount of angst in her voice, Heather approached her, as Sierra took her to First Class, Cody was in there with her enjoying some cookies that they were given.
"What?" Heather asked, she didn't have time for this, she wanted to get back to Alejandro, and somehow knock him out of the game in the finale, she needed to know his weaknesses, other than some disgusting type of food. Sierra looked worried, and Cody was giving some sympaethic look. Sierra guided Heather to sit down, whatever they had to tell her, it would have to be about Alejandro, and it couldn't be that shocking, could it?
"It's about Alejandro..." Sierra started. She could hardly finish her sentence, Heather was already looking ill. Instead ofexplaining it, whch would be hard on both girls, Sierra had come to like Heather, sure she was manipulation, devious, and tried to get rid of her a few times, but she knew how it felt, so be hurt by someone you care about, and Sierra guessed Heather didn't care about many people, until Alejandro came along. She unfolded the doctored photo from her back pocket, handing it to Heather. Her eyes widened, she was speechless. Sierra shook her head side to side, placing a hand on Heather's shoulder while she examined the photo.
"This never happened, if that's what you're thinking." Heahter spoke up, she knew Alejandro had edited the picture, but she didn't want to believe it, he trusted her, she trusted him, they had a bond. "Alejandro edited this, that trader!" Heather raised her voice, she was full of anger, she wanted to tell him off while he sat in economy.
"Cody and I are voting him off in tonights elimination, we suspect you'll do the same." Sierra said bluntly, although she knew Heather was still hurt, it was something she dumped on the poor girl, she was vulnerable as of now; the last thing Sierra wanted to do was make it worse by bossing her around, but it was the obvious choice.
"Yeah..." She nodded her head, faking a small smile on her pale pink lips, she knew she couldn't trust Alejandro, he'd been hurting her all season, using Courtney, Blainely, now this, it was the last time he would, he was going home.
"Final three!" Sierra exclaimed, smiling brightly at Heather, it was a reason to be happy, Heather could sense that Sierra was trying her best to make Heather feel well, she didn't want her feelings to be in the way of winning, and right now, Heather wasthe winner, beating Cody and Sierra would be easy.
Click, click click. Heather couldn't stop, the picking of her nails was continuous, Alejandro was nervously chewing his lip, he already had 2 votes against him, the third one and he would be gone. She was scared of his reaction, he would yell at her. Heather glanced at him while Chris said his name for two votes, she slightly frowned. This was it. Worry washed over her like a tidal wave. Read his name once more. Gone. Adios. The suspense was eating her up. Only Heather knew who was going. She saw him look at her, but she quickly tilted her head, she couldn't look at his eyes full of fear and depression. "Wait, we've all been through a lot together, so I htink we should do one last thing before anybody gets the boot. BRB!" Sierra yelled, running to the plane. She came back with a cake and sparklers, just hearing a huge bang. Alejandro covered Heather, he jumped towards her, holding her head to his chest, wrapping his warm arms around her. He didn't care if he got hurt, he cared about her, her more than anything. It was an unconsious move on his part. Heather felt herself breaking. the group ran over to the disaster, Sierr'as hair had fizzled off. Alejandro smiled at Heather, raising his palm for a high five. "Wooh yeah, but, be right back..." Heather jogged back to the fire place, burning the votes so Alejandro wouldn't see.
Emerging, he saw. The fire hardly hurt him, what hurt him more was how sick he felt, Heather voted for him. Breathing was painful for him. He couldn't understand why she would do this, to him, of all people. "You will regret this Heather, oh yes, you will regret this.
