One Day Later

Gwen sat down on nice chair under an umbrella as she watched the ocean. After what happened the last few days she needed some peace and quiet. She sighed as she replayed the events over in her head as she looked down at the ground while a running a hand through her hair. The only good thing to happen in the last few days was that Bridgette was back and Blaineley or as Geoff called her, Mildred, was kicked off the Aftermath show.

The sad part was now Alejandro was charming Courtney and thanks to Duncan she was falling for it. She was going to get her heart broken again. How the hell had things gone so wrong?

"Gwen!"

She heard Bridgette's voice as she along with Trent, LeShawna, and the others walked up to her.

"Girl, we haven't heard anything from you in the last few days? What's wrong?" asked LeShawna with a concerned look on her face.

However Gwen was silent as she thought about how to explain this to them.

"Gwen?" asked Trent when she didn't answer.

All of them were worried about what happened when she called Courtney and Duncan's families. She hadn't said anything about what happened when she called them. Then on the Aftermath show when she wasn't given a can to participate in a challenge to get back onto the show the audience reacted badly saying to give her another chance. Apparently her refusal to kiss Duncan and her honesty had won over a lot of people.

They asked that she be given a chance but she refused. She did not want to be put back on the show especially because that would mean more fights with Courtney, Heather, and Sierra as well as dealing with Duncan and that was the last thing she wanted at the moment.

"Come on, girl, what happened?" asked LeShawna as she put a hand on Gwen's back.

"Something bad happen?" asked DJ not liking the way Gwen looked.

She hadn't even raised her head to look at them. That made her closest friends uncomfortable as they wondered what happened.

"Gwen?" asked Lindsay.

Why not? She might as well talk.

"It started when I called Courtney and Duncan's families."

"Did it go bad?" asked Geoff.

"Better than I feared, worst than I hoped. Courtney's mother was a lot more understanding than I thought as she answered my questions. It was when I got in touch Duncan's parents did I get some possible answers."

"What do you mean?"

Gwen looked up so everyone could see her face.

"They said that Duncan talked often about me when he and Courtney broke up. He often compared me with Courtney saying that I was similar to her but I was still nice while she changed. I don't know if that anything to do with what happened on the plane but I know I was a step closer. I began thinking back to all the times Duncan and I hung out." Gwen had a look on her face. "Tell me, did just everyone think that Duncan and I would eventually get together?"

"Well, I kind of thought so when you and Duncan started hanging out." Said Trent rubbing the back of his neck.

"You guys did enjoy hanging around a lot." Said Bridgette.

Everyone else agreed which made Gwen scowl.

"Well they thought the same thing. I know Courtney forbade Duncan any kind of contact with me after he won the competition last time because she thought I would sick my 'gothic' claws into him. They said that Duncan was actually miserable as the fights went on. You all remember that blog I made about them?"

Everyone nodded.

"After I made it, he called me. We talked like we were still hanging out on the show. Duncan's brother said he was much happier after our conversation. But then he said something, something that really made me uncomfortable."

"What did he say?" asked Beth.

"He said he asked Duncan if he liked me then why did he bother with Courtney. He answered that because I was almost like how Courtney was before she changed."

"What does that mean?" Geoff asked.

"You know how Harold rigged the votes and got Courtney kicked off the island?"

"Yeah. That was still not a cool thing to do, Harold." Said LeShawna turning to Harold.

"I said I was sorry. I just wanted to get back at Duncan." Harold shrugged.

"Yeah, well ever since that happened she started to change. You all noticed she was nicer when we first met her."

"Yeah. But then she turned into a such a jerk." Said Beth remembering how mean Courtney was on TDA.

"Yeah, she was always whining about something." Said LeShawna.

"And she was always threatening to sue somebody." Said Lindsay.

"And kept nagging she was a CIT like it meant she was going to win." Said Sadie.

"Yeah, I remember how mean she was." Said Katie.

"Exactly. I think that's what Duncan meant when he told his brother that." Said Gwen looking at the ground again.

"Where are you going with this, Gwen?" asked Trent.

"If I what I am thinking is right then even if I did kiss Duncan and decide to have a relationship with him it might not turn out the way I would want it to."

"Uh?"

"I wondered what he meant and he told me that Courtney and I are similar in some ways."

"Oh come on, Gwen. You are nothing like Courtney." Said Trent.

"Yeah, you are a lot nicer." Said Beth.

"You don't shout that you were a CIT." Said Geoff.

"You don't yell at others for losing even it's not their fault." Said Harold.

"You don't threaten to sue." Said LeShawna.

"You aren't whiny." Said Eva.

Gwen chuckled as everyone listed how different she was from Courtney. She needed something like this for a while.

"Don't be too quick to judge guys. Before Duncan came back Courtney and I were finally starting to act cordial with each other. We found that we had some things in common. Maybe that's why we were finally starting to act like friends before Duncan came back."

She sighed and leaned back in her chair.

"According to Duncan's brother, we're both strong, independent, and can be very scary when we're mad. But he said that the difference was that I was still kind. I thought it over and now I think I'm starting to understand just what the hell is going on."

Gwen stood up from her chair and stretched her limbs.

"So what is it?" asked DJ.

Gwen shook her head and turned around before walking off.

"I'm sorry but this is between me and Duncan now."

"Come on, Gwen. I can't just let you do this alone." Said LeShawna as ran to catch up with her.

"Actually, yes you can and you have to. Next time I see Duncan he won't be able to hide behind his tough boy mask."

"All the more reason for us to be there." Said Trent as he caught up to her.

"Yeah." Said Bridgette.

"Guys, as much as I appreciate the help I can't let you guys help me. This is personal."

"Come on, girl. That boy needs to be put in his place." Said LeShawna.

Gwen chuckled.

"Trust me he will. But I will do it alone."

"At least tell us what you think you know." Said DJ.

"What? And ruin the surprise. Sorry, but in case you forgot DJ they call this show Total Drama for a reason."
