The next morning, Melissa was up and was already stretching for her morning run. She heard a door open nearby and saw Eva come out of her new trailer. She remembered last night when Eva came back to get her things so she could move into it. Nothing much was said, but Eva did say 'Get ready for the rest of the competition' before she left. That made everyone worry more, even though Melissa knew the rest of the girls (Izzy was an enigma, so they weren't sure how she truly felt) were feeling relieved they didn't have to sleep in the same cabin as her.
"Glad to see your up. Enjoy the trailer?" Melissa asked.
"Yeah, it's better than sleeping with those idiots and traitors." Eva huffed, as she also stretched.
Melissa raised a brow, but decided not to say anything yet.
Later, once they were taking a break, Melissa decided to talk.
"So, I know you're still holding hard feelings about what happened to you. You wanna talk about it?"
Eva scowled… well scowled more, but she then seemed to loosen a little and said," Yeah… I still am. I am going to give it my all during this competition. And thinking about it, mainly thanks to my anger management. I guess I let my emotions, mainly my anger get the best of me during the challenge yesterday. I'm still mad about how I was eliminated the first time. So… I'll try and loosen up. But that doesn't mean I won't bring 100%. I won't let anyone get the best of me. Even if I'm trying to change a bit."
Eva would've mentioned how she somehow found herself hanging out a bit with Noah and Izzy, when they were at Playa de Losers. But the Producers and Chris didn't want to spoil it. And also they mentioned contracts.
Melissa nodded, feeling satisfied and said," That's good. And look, these things take time. So just see how this goes. And work through it."
Eva nodded and said," Alright. You wanna hit a couple of more laps?"
"I'm game."
-Confessional (Melissa)-
"I gotta tell ya, being a mediator half the time can be challenging. I'm not perfect, but I try. I know things with Eva will take time. But, knowing how things go in shows like these, especially this one. Who knows."
That's it for now. I'll get on the next episode chapter. I'll also have this up on AO3 later as well.
Till next time.
