Aaron's POV

Chris continued his cruel game of Total Drama. Heather recently guaranteed herself a spot in the finale.

Alejandro and Cody raced to Hawaii and tied for second. Chris gave the finalist a moment to vent in a confessional . And that brings us to this current day.

"You never mentioned you had a brother. Jose was it?" Heather asked.

"He's not worth mentioning." Alejandro stated.

"Go team Alejandro. He's even hotter in person." Sadie cheered.

"Why are they in teams. And why does my team suck?" Heather asked clearly annoyed.

"The peanut gallery is playing a major role in choosing a winner." Chris said as mostly everyone cheered.

"Sweet. I guess were all voting kn the winner again." Duncan grinned.

"Did I say my team sucks? What I actually meant was they rocked." Heather lied.

"You think we're fools? You and Alejandro are done." Leshawna stated.

"We're all here for you Cody. Especially me. BELIVE!" Sierra exclaimed.

"But first, we gotta break the tie. Heather, you won the race to Hawaii so your reward is this advantage. You can pick the tie breaker yourself or you can let Alejandro or Cody do it." Chris told Heather.

"As if I'm gonna leave it up to them. I'll do it. Thank you." Heather said, arrogantly.

"I was hoping you'd say that." Chris laughed.

Chris introduced Heather to this machine which is how the tie breaker was going to be picked.

"Each ball inside our challenge booth has a different tie breaker on it. So, take your pick." Chris explained.

"Well. Isn't this fun." Heather said, going in.

Heather walked into the machine. It started dropping tiny balls on her. Heather came out coughing.

"No ball, no exit. Back you go." Chris started.

Heather then spit out a golf ball. Chris made Geoff read the ball that was covered in spit.

"Ew. Heather has selected the traditional Hawaiian Fire Dance of Death." Geoff read. Well, I think we know what's going to happen from here.

Later, Alejandro and Cody were on a platform with Heather tied up and the men in grasses skirts and coconut bras.

"I question how traditional it is for a male warrior to wear a coconut bra." Alejandro stated.

"Forget that. Someone get me off of this thing!" Heather struggled as the peanut gallery laughed.

"She's funny when she's tied up and can't hurt me." Owen pointed.

"I just won the semi-finals. Where is the respect?" Heather asked annoyed.

"We'll be sure to look for that later. The first dude to free Heather wins the last spot in the final two. And a shot at the million." Chris stated excited.

"Um. If no one happens to free her does that make Cody and I the final two?" Alejandro asked.

"Hey!" Heather glared.

"Won't work. Already checked. Chef, if you'd do the honors." Chris grinned." Oh. And stay out of the water starting now."

The match started and the peanut gallery started cheering for who they wanted to see win the million.

"Go Alejandro! Squish him! Like a bug!" Courtney encouraged.

What is with her? But anyways, long story short, the boys kept fighting and Heather managed to distract Cody from his main mission and Alejandro knocked Cody off the platform and untied Heather.

Honestly. The only one that was happy about Alejandro's win was Courtney. Not even Owen.

"Now that we have our final two, it's my pleasure to announce the peanut gallery will not be voting for the winner." Chris annouced.

"What! But you said we were going to play a major role. MAJOR!" Courtney shouted.

"Yep. Just not in a votey, kinda way. Prepare to have your minds blown up by the most lethal challenge in Total Drama history. Heather vs Alejandro vs the Volcano! Back in the day human sacrifices were tossed into Kilauea Volcano to appease the gods. Sadly the lawyers won't let me use real people as sacrifices. So Heather and Alejandro will have to make sacrifice stand ins using the islands most abundant resources. Pineapples and driftwood. And to make it nice and symbolic, you guys have to make dummies of each other to dunk in the volcano. Now, you each get to pick two helpers." Chris explained.

"I dare either one of you to pick me. Come on." Leshawna dared.

"I chose Courtney and Tyler." Alejandro pointed.

"Yes!" Courtney cheered.

I felt myself getting more angry by the second. She so enthusiastic to risk her life to help someone who doesn't even care about her.

Yet she threw me under the bus when all I did was help her as much as I could... I couldn't take it anymore.

"Grr... That's it! I can't bear to watch him use her like this! I'm leaving!" I growled.

I picked up my backpack and stormed off. I couldn't watch it. I can't stand the sight of men taking advantage of her.

She's so hard working and yet she is still getting used by him.

"Aaron!" I heard my name being called from behind.

I heavily sighed, knowing it was Courtney. I turned around and looked at her. She caught up with me and crossed her arms.

"Where are you going? Aren't you gonna watch the finale?" She asked, annoyed by the fact that I walked off.

I heavily sighed. I couldn't give a response.

"I don't get it! You defend me after I leave off the show yet you're still not talking to me?! Ugh! What is wrong with you?"

I don't want to yell at her. I'm going to approach this situation calmly.

"Courtney. I defended you because we were friends. Just how I defended you when you were wrong." I told her calmly.

"Oh! So now you're saying that I'm wrong?"

"You bullied Lindsay last season just because she wasn't as skilled as you. You weren't acting like yourself. Then this season you used me for your own gain. And then Duncan corrupted you and you didn't allow me to help you. And I'm sorry that you couldn't see and still cannot see that. Maybe someday you will. But as of right now, I refuse to watch Alejandro use and manipulate you to do his bidding."

"You know. I was hoping that you would actually realize that you abandoned me just like Duncan. But you didn't."

"This just proves my point. Duncan and Gwen corrupted your thinking by betraying you. And now you lost trust in people who actually care and supported you." I frowned.

"You know what? Forget it! I don't need your support!"

"Courtney. Even though I tried to help, I wanted to apologize for yelling at you on the plane. I wish I approached the problem differently."

"So now you're just realizing everything you said before was wrong?"

"That's not what I'm saying. I'm apologizing for yelling at you. But that doesn't change the fact about some of the stuff I told you. You're a smart girl Courtney. Someday you'll realize you left your best friend for a selfish guy like Alejandro." I told her, sustaining my calm tone.

"Gah! Seriously?" She shouted, and glared.

"Yes. Seriously." I said calmly.

"Gr. Why do I even bother? I hope I never run into you again in the real world." Courtney glared.

I furrowed my eyebrows and frowned at what she just said.

"I wish you the best of luck Courtney, with whatever life you choose to live. I sincerely mean that.

"No you don't!"

"I really do Courtney."

"Now your just trying to make yourself look good."

"It's fine Courtney. You don't have to believe me. Your friend over there is waiting for you anyway."

"Fine! I'll go over to my friend and forget what a 'great friend' you were." She glared and slapped me across the face and stormed off.

I watched her walk away, angered after what l said. I heavily sighed, adjust my book bag and walked off.

I don't feel so good. Was I wrong? Was I? I only wanted to help. But now... she's gone. There's no undoing or retrys on what I just did.

I didn't want to hurt Courtney. I wanted to keep her away from the danger that was using her.

I flopped down in the sand and sat there.

An: What? It's a singing season. Might as well go along with the theme of the season. But I really do suggest listening to the lyrics.

Totally fits the scene and the current plot.

Aaron:  Didn't I give it all?
Tried my best
Gave you everything I had, everything and no less
Didn't I do it right?
Did I let you down?
Maybe you got too used to having me 'round
Still how can you walk away
From all my tears
It's gonna be an empty road without me right here
But go on and take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all with my love, take it all with my love

Maybe I should leave, to help you see
Nothing is better than this and this is everything we need
So is it over?
Is this really it, you're giving up so easily
I thought you loved me more than this

But go on, go on, take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all with my love, take it all with my love

I will change if I must
Slow it down and bring it home, I will adjust
Oh if only, if only you knew
Everything I do, is for you

But go on, go on and take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all, with my love
Take it all with my love
You take it all with my love

I heavily sighed, still drowning deeply in my thoughts. Everything just feels so unreal. I shouldn't have yelled at her on the plane.

It wasn't my best act. But I acted out of anger. She was going to say something after she slapped me on the plane ride, but I pushed her away.

Maybe it is my fault... again. I honestly don't even care about the money at this point. I'm just sad I lost my friend.

My best one at that. I could've acted better on the plane. I was so caught up in what I was going through, I didn't think about how much she was going through at that time.

I... I feel horrible. I only wanted to help her get out of that horrible situation and help her find someone else.

Wheather that would've been me or some other guy. I'd just rather see her happy again instead of how she is now.

My deep thought were inturupted when I heard a loud noise from behind me. I quickly picked myself back up and turned around.

I saw a volcano erupting. What did they do? From a distance I could see the cast running. I moved away before the Volcano got worse.

An: I know. World Tour ended so sadly if I do say so myself.

Anyways, thanks for reading and don't forget to vote and comment what you think.
