I woke up in a white tent on a cot. All I could remember was those incredibly cold lips. Then what happened? I tried to remember but all I got was a horrible headache. "Looks like I chose the wrong girl". Chef walked up putting a cold cloth on my head. "What happened"? "Duncan kissed you as a way to distract you and then Courtney knocked you out". "Are you serious?" "Yeah, anyway... Beth was voted off because she kept waking up the girls at night apparently". I felt kinda bad for Beth but I was also glad it wasn't me. I got up and thanked chef for the help and went to my cabin. I looked in the mirror and saw a huge bruise on the side of my face. I didn't think a girl could punch that hard. I laid down on my bed and started to write in my journal. Chris's boss made him give us a day to relax after every challenge because of some law suit that was threatened against the crew. It's really nice to be able to unwind every other day and not be on some horrible schedule. My hate for Duncan has never burned more in my life. I could have at least got the hint when he told me he didn't want to talk to me anymore, but the fact that he sabotaged me? That was unforgivable. Never again will I be fooled by some gothic cliché. I heard the door open and hid under my covers. I didn't want anyone to see my nasty knot on the side of my face. Since I was top bunk I slid to the back and was barely noticeable. "Oh hey Haon". "My names Noah for the last time". I heard the door close again so he must have left. It had to be Lyndsey because I have never known someone to be dumber in my entire life. All the sudden I heard someone yelling and arguing with someone. It had to be guys because their was no way a girl could yell that loud. "If Gwen has a single speck on her face I will kick the shit out of you"! Lyndsey ran outside to see what was going on and I peeked threw the window. It was Trent and Duncan! I had to stop them before it got too heated. How could I cover up my face though? I grabbed my jacket and covered most of my face with the hoodie. So much for relaxing.

I walked outside to see Trent storming into my cabin before stopping to look at me. "I didn't think they would let you out". "I'm fine". Duncan walked off slowly at first and then jogged away. He wouldn't even look at me. "Why are you wearing a hoodie? It's 90 degrees out here." "I'm cold". "No your not". He went to go grab my hoodie and I pushed him away. "Let me see your face!" "No!" I started pushing him away when he pulled my hoodie off. "It's not that bad!" I lied. It was horrible. "She used brass knuckles because of the dent in it". "So? I'm fine". "No you're not". "Yes I am!" I started to get really mad so I tried to turn away but he grabbed me and held me in his arms. I missed this. "I'm sorry, I can go beat him up a second time if you want?" "I'm fine", I said while laughing at him. I don't understand what happened in our relationship. I loved him but he loved me so much and the thought of me leaving him drove him nuts. One day I went out with Duncan so I could buy Trent a gift when we was together and Trent saw us inside the store. When I got home me and Trent got into a heated argument. Trent snapped and threw me into the wall. I sprained my wrist but he never got over it. He blamed himself for so long until finally we broke up. Then he became really clingy trying to make up for it, so I dropped him. I deleted his number, moved out of the house we was sharing, and stopped talking to him. "Do you want to go get something to eat?" I agreed and followed him to the forest. He had brought a few things to eat while he was here. This was nice. "I think I'm going to get going, I need some time to recover from everything that happened yesterday". "Okay. Oh! And by the way, I'm really sorry for everything that happened when we was dating". "Yeah, me too". I walked back to my cabin when I saw Duncan standing outside of it. "Nice bruise." I ignored him and walked past him. "Did you enjoy it?" "Enjoy what?" "The kiss". I felt so angry that he was bringing this up after all he has done to me. "No, I didn't actually". "Why not?" "Because your a fucking lunatic!" I walked up to him and was staring him dead in the eyes. "This ends here." "Alright, fine." "That's all you have to say? Not even a simple sorry?" "People say sorry when they have done something wrong, and I didn't do anything". "Really? You haven't? You kissed me and then let your girlfriend knock me out!" "Do you remember last Christmas when you took me shopping with you so you could find Trent a gift?" "Yeah, so what?" "So, you left the gift in my car. I walked up to your porch return it and you opened the door. You was crying and hiding something in your hand or somethings like that. You told me to never talk to you again." I completely forgot about that. Christmas was hard for Duncan because his grandpa had died weeks before and it was going to be the first holiday without him. "Im sorry, but didn't you have Courtney?" "We broke up that day". "Oh." "That's all you have to say?" "What else do you want me to say?" "Nothing". He started walking off when I grabbed him and kissed him. I poured my passion into the kiss and I couldn't stop. He kissed me back grabbing my hair. I pushed him away. "How was it?" I laughed. "Amazing". So much for ignoring the "cliché".
