Vexation ↠ Total Drama Action

23- Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion || Part 1

Logan's POV

I took a glance at my body in the mirror, brushing down the wrinkles on my shirt with a heavy sigh.

I was already dreading the fact that the Gemmie Awards were tonight and everyone from the Total Drama cast was invited because I knew he was going to be there.

And by he, I mean Duncan.

A year and two months have gone by since the last Total Drama Action episode aired. A year and two months since the last interaction I had with Duncan.

Of course my stupid self had high expectations, but I should've known. He is Duncan after all. I practically knew him like the back of my hand. Heck, I should've not been so credulous.

Honestly, I wasn't prepared for the awards show. Although I've kept in touch with many of my former teammates, I still had this aching feeling in my stomach by the thought of seeing Courtney and Duncan.

They ended up getting together not to long after the show, but they recently split up. It's been all over the tabloids. I was even asked to do an interview with Celebrity Manhunt over the drama, but I not so politely declined.

However, Gwen did invite me to join in on a couple of her blogs. Since I was growing much attention due to the drama and a recently published poetry book which was a hit, I accepted the offers to help boost her own popularity.

I've gotten close with Gwen despite what happened during the second season. We've talked through some things and now I'm glad to call her one of my good friends. Tyler and I have also developed a strong bond with each other, and DJ has stuck by my side since the day we first met. I'm more than delighted to have those two knuckleheads as my best friends.

It'll be nice to see the group of teens I spent some time with during my exposure with Total Drama, though. I kept in touch with many of them, and I'm very grateful I got the opportunity to interact with them despite our differences. I'm just petrified to see Duncan again.

There was this stupidest, goddamn part of me that was waiting for some type of closure from him but what should I have expected? He has obviously moved on, I'm trying to move on. Our close affinity is no longer there.

It pains me that I have to deal with this but what can I do? He left me devastated without any form of closure that I'm still longing for.

What I did learn from this heartbreak is that I can survive being alone. I mean, look at me: stable income, a nice apartment, my own close friends, and an amazing job that I wouldn't trade for the world.

I finally did it. I've finally found a way to be self-sufficient without having others trying to drag me down.

I just pray that my emotions don't get the best of me while I'm at the Gemmie Awards.

The limousine that had picked me up from my apartment finally arrived to the red carpet.

Just to my luck, a familiar green mohawk was right outside the window.

Swallowing, I set my trembling hand on the door handle and opened it up.

You got this, Logan. You can do this.

"Oh, and here comes the warm-hearted but hotheaded of a girl, Logan!" a girl with purple hair announced my presence.

Taking in a deep breath of air as I tried to take my attention off of Duncan, I quickly threw on a chipper attitude.

"Hey!" I waved while the girl ran towards me cheerfully.
