A/n- How would you guys feel if I made a "Total Drama One Shots" book? Cause I'm actually working on the first few chapters right now!! :)

Lol, this is gonna be a REALLY short chapter compared to the other ones.

Cameras are on

Heather had been released from the "hospital" two days later. But she immediately went into the cabin to lay in bed. And Alejandro had done the same.

They had isolated themselves for a while week, until Alejandro decided that enough was enough. Staying in bed all the time and not talking to anyone wasn't going to help their situation at all.

"I'm going to go get breakfast," he said, getting out of bed. "Wanna come?" His fiancé gave him a questioning look, then shook her head, burying herself further under the covers.

The Spaniard frowned worriedly, but decided not to push her any further. He got dressed and walked over to the dining hall.

Everyone went silent the moment he opened the door and took a seat at an empty table.

"Where's Heather?" Some whispered amongst themselves.

"She's still in bed," he answered, much to their surprise. "She's not ready to come out yet, so could you guys please respect that?"

Everyone just nodded, slowly going back to what they were talking about. Alejandro took one bite of his granola bar, and saw someone sit across from him out if he corner of his eye. It was Zoey. He let out a deep sigh.

"...Yes?"

"I just..." She paused. "How are you guys? I mean-that was a dumb question! Of course you aren't fine. But I mean-"

"We're getting there," he answered simply. "Heather's just a little..." he swallowed. "She's still...really upset." Alejandro didn't want to give too many details, because she wasn't in their cabin. It was already bad enough that Sierra, Cody, Noah, Owen, Lindsay, and (especially) José already knew just how bad off they were.

For one, Heather would wake up in the middle of the night, crying her eyes out and occasionally waking some of their cabin mates up. They understood, though. Secondly, Heather hardly ever spoke.

At all.

The closest she's come to speaking was when she cried. Alejandro would silently sing her back to sleep in his arms and she would calm down. But it would all started again the next day.

He would wake up and see her tearstained face, which only reminded him how much she cried the night before, and she never smiled, even when he tried to cheer her up with a lighthearted joke.

And she had that empty look in her eyes. That broken look. A look he had never seen on Heather's face before. It was as if she had seen something that completely traumatized her. Something that scarred her for life.

Alejandro would do anything. Anything at all to make her pain go away. But how could he if she never talked to him?

And the worst part of it all, was that they became so distant. Every time he tried to cuddle Heather in bed, she would just push his arm off of her and turn the other way.

He felt more alone than ever. Could she not see that he was hurting too?

"Oh," Zoey replied quietly to his answer. "Well...I hope she feels better soon."

Me too.

The challenge of the day was to rock wall climb, in which team 5 won. Since Alejandro couldn't participate, he watched. And having Svetlana on their team was a really unfair advantage in his opinion.
