Yep, time for another update! I thought since I brought up Trent and Lindsay last chapter, I thought that it was time I did one on them since they are one of my favourite crack pairings. (:
Disclaimer: I own nothing unfortunately!
Summary: Lindsay likes Trent because he's a really good person, but he turns out to be an even better person than she'd ever imagined before.
Pairing: LindsayxTrent I guess you could say. You'll see what I mean when you read…
On a side note, I might not be able to update as much since I have to other stories going…just letting you know! But I'm still going to update, so don't worry too much!
Lindsay sighed in delight as she walked down the trail carrying her canoe. Or trying to carry her canoe I guess you could say, because she was struggling a bit with it. Oh well. She didn't care, because she had Trent with her. Not exactly with her, but he was in the same boat as her. And he was carrying it. She and Beth were helping him…sort of.
The pretty blonde girl liked Trent. A lot. She adored his caring and friendly personality, not to mention the fact that he was amazing to look at. Lindsay also wished that a guy would write her a song…the most she ever got from Tyler were constant make out sessions, which could get pretty annoying and tiring after a while. Plus, a girl needed real love, and she felt that that was what Trent could give her. There was one problem though.
Gwen.
Lindsay liked Gwen and all, but she knew that Trent liked Gwen…a lot! And Trent was supposed to like her, not Gwen! I mean, Lindsay was gorgeous, and she knew it…so why wouldn't Trent go for a nicer, prettier girl like her, rather then Gwen? She could never quite figure it out.
Soon enough, they approached a fork in the trail. One way went left, and the other went right. In the distance, Lindsay could see the other team walking down the trail on the right. She could hear Trent telling everyone that they should go left, the opposite direction. Lindsay could feel her heart warming up at the sound of his voice.
As they were walking, Lindsay was too wrapped up in her thoughts to notice that they were approaching quicksand. She saw Trent start to sink in something, and she immediately ran up to try and help him in some way. Oblivious to the fact that Trent was in quicksand, Lindsay ran into it. Soon after, she started to sink.
"Yay!" Lindsay cheered. "Now I'm stuck too!"
As Trent sunk his face in his hand as Lindsay spoke. She knew immediately that she had said the wrong thing, which she happened to do a lot in front of Trent.
Trent called for help, and soon enough, Cody rescued them, and they continued on with the challenge. They lost in the end, but that wasn't really what counted for Lindsay. She was ashamed of herself, and really, really embarrassed.
The challenge was all a blur, but Lindsay knew one thing for sure; she had messed up any chance she had ever had with Trent to begin with.
At the marshmallow ceremony, Lindsay was saved. She was almost positive that she was going to be the one going home after her stupid behaviour, but she had been saved. The RCMP showed up, and Izzy had fled Camp Wawanakwa.
She yawned as she sat on her tree stump. She knew she was tired, but she also knew that she wasn't going to get to sleep anytime soon. She felt like she was partly responsible for their loss today, and she felt terrible. She sat by the campfire, and just moped. Everyone was gone, and she was out there alone. Lindsay didn't care. Right now, it was what she preferred.
A few hours later, it was almost morning. Almost everyone around camp was asleep, and the sun was starting to slowly come up on the horizon.
Trent yawned as he rolled around on his bunk again. He looked down at Owen's alarm clock. It was 4:30 AM, and Trent couldn't fall back asleep. He had barely gotten any sleep at all during the night. He didn't know what it was, but there was something that was keeping him awake.
After giving up the concept of sleeping, Trent decided to get up. He wasn't usually a morning person, but it didn't look like sleep was going to be an option right now. Trent also had to admit that the mornings here at Camp Wawanakwa were rather nice. Even though they had to go through some brutal things here, the area itself was quite scenic.
Trent quietly crawled out of his bed and walked outside quietly, trying not to disturb Cody or Owen in the process. He saw Cody twitch a little as the cabin door closed, but he then went still again. Trent sighed in relief.
Right away when Trent stepped down the cabin stairs, he could see the campfire pit. He immediately saw a motionless figure lying down close to the flames, but he couldn't figure out who it was. Trent started walking closer to the body, and then quickly identified it,
Lindsay.
"Lindsay!" Trent whispered. He wanted to be loud enough so she could hear him, but he also didn't want to wake up any of the light sleepers. However, there was no response from Lindsay. He walked closer to her.
"Lindsay!" he called again. This time she stirred. Her big blue eyes shot open as she sat up, and she quickly realized that she was outside. She didn't spot Trent yet, so she screamed, feeling scared and alone. Trent placed his hand gently over her mouth to keep her from waking anyone up. She started scrambling around and shaking, scared that she was being kidnapped or something. Thankfully, she turned around and saw Trent facing her.
"Trent, you scared me half to death!" she whined. She then looked around at her surroundings, and after a few moments of hesitation turned back to Trent. "What am I doing here anyways?"
Trent shrugged.
"I have no clue…I just got here!" he laughed.
"Oh…" Lindsay mumbled. "Then what are you doing here?" she asked.
Trent shrugged again.
"I couldn't sleep, so I decided to come outside, maybe go for a walk," he explained.
"A walk?" Lindsay repeated. "Can I come?" she asked, shivering.
Trent smiled and wrapped his arm around Lindsay in attempt to keep her warm by the fire. As Trent touched her, sparks of heat arose in her body.
"I was thinking that, but I think that we should stay here instead. You look like you need to warm up a bit," Trent looked in her eyes as he spoke.
Lindsay gazed into Trent's eyes and nodded slowly, her mouth wide open. She then shook herself back into reality.
"Oh yeah…I guess I am kinda cold!" she giggled.
Trent reached around and pulled a log over close to them so they had something to lean their backs against. He then snuggled up closer to Lindsay.
"So, you have no idea why you're out here?" Trent asked her.
Lindsay shrugged.
"I don't remember ever going into the cabin, so I guess I dozed off out here without remembering where I was," she explained.
Trent's eyes widened.
"Why didn't you go inside the cabins like everyone else after the ceremony to go to sleep?" Trent looked surprised as he spoke.
Lindsay sighed.
"Do you really want to know?" she asked.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to…but I promise, if you do, I won't tell a soul!" Trent promised her. Lindsay gave in after that.
Lindsay got ready to tell Trent. She was ready, but the question was, what would his reaction be? He could be nice about it and continue to comfort her, but what if he thought that it was stupid? What would happen then? She didn't want to think about it, but it was always a possibility.
"Well…I feel like I made us lose today," Lindsay explained sadly, bowing her head.
"What?" Trent exclaimed, shocked. "Why would you think that?" he laughed.
Lindsay shrugged, her head still down.
"I feel like I'm always slowing us down…like, by going into the quicksand, or me paddling the canoe slower then everyone else, or-"
"Whoa Lindsay! Stop!" Trent interrupted, laughing. "The quicksand thing was my fault! I went in there first! Don't worry!"
Lindsay sighed.
"I still don't know…I always feel like I'm messing us up though!"
Trent smiled and pulled Lindsay into a hug.
"You did not make us lose today Lindsay. You haven't ever, so stop worrying...okay?" Trent smiled and looked into her eyes as he spoke.
"Alright…" Lindsay sighed, still sounding unsure.
Trent then leaned in and kissed Lindsay gently on the lips. Instead of flinching back like he thought she would, she ended up kissing him back. The kiss lasted about 10 seconds, then Trent pulled away.
"Sorry…I uh…better go get ready!" Trent told her, smiling at her as he slowly walked away, sounding slightly embarrassed.
Lindsay smiled in delight. The sun was just coming up, and Trent had some feelings towards her. It was a new day, and a day for a challenge, and Lindsay was ready to prove herself worthy to her team.
Today was going to be a good day, and Lindsay knew it.
Not my best work ever…but there's some Trindsay for you! It was my first time writing it, so it may suck.
And sorry if I'm making Trent always look like he's cheating on Gwen…but he kissing people somehow makes the one-shot better!
Anyway, thank you for reading!
~Lauren! (:
