Bridgette's P.O.V.

Woe, what a trip that was when we left Duncan's house! I can't believe how much of a jerk he was. But when Gwen told me the whole story about how the discussion became a fight, I could see that she was really serious. Poor Gwen, the only thing that saved her was the fact that his door was open and his siblings were home. I mean, dang it, God was really on her side.!

"I just can't believe how much of a jerk Duncan really is."Bridgette said,"And to think, you actually wanted to be his beau."
"And I thought that he would be a little sincere and trustworthy,"Said Gwen,"I guess I was wrong."
"Now Gwen,"said Bridgette, "you should have known better than to trust a man like Duncan! What were you thinking!?"
"I don't know Bridge,"said Gwen,"we had so much in common. It seemed like we were perfect for each other. Even after he seduced me."
"But Gwen,"she said,"did you truly love him?? Or did you love him because of his bad attitude?"
"I don't know Bridgette!?"Said Gwen,"Can you please just take me home? I'd rather talk to you about it there."
So when they finally got to Gwen's house, she told Bridgette everything. Bridgette was shocked and surprised at Gwen. Not because she broke up with Duncan and he attacked her. But because she was going out with the wrong person in the first place. Even though he seduced and fascinated her.
"Oh my god, I can't believe you fancied him so much."said Bridgette."And I still don't understand what you saw in him.!"
"Bridgette, please I really don't want to talk about my mistake anymore."said Gwen."I'm just glad it's over with."
"But Gwen,"said Bridgette,"I've just got to know what you saw in Duncan.?"
Gwen sighed and said,"I don't know Bridge, I guess I just like bad boys as well as musicians and fighters."
"Well I guess we can say you definitly found out how bad he was when you tried to talk to him."she said.
"Uh yeah,"said Gwen,"and that's why I don't want to talk about it anymore.! By the way, who besides Geoff, Owen, Harold, and you were at Trent's house?"
"Nobody else except Courtney,"She said,"she was with us too."
"Oh yeah,"said Gwen,"what was she doing over at Trent's house?"
"Oh nothing much,"said Bridgette."Just helping Trent calm down and feel really good."Oops, big mistake, Bridgette thought. She immediately smacked herself in the mouth because she knew she wasn't supposed to tell Gwen anything about last night.
"Say what!?"Gwen asked.
"What, what.?"said Bridgette.
"You said something about Trent and Courtney, didn't you?"She asked puzzled and confused.
"No I didn't."said Bridgette, trying to cover herself up.
"Yes, you did,"said Gwen,"now what were you talking about?"
"Nothing Gwen, honest.!"she said, scared like.
"Bridgette!!"Gwen snapped."You'd better come clean.! After all,we are best friends aren't we?"
"Well, yeah."she said looking scared.
"Then tell me the truth!"said Gwen, angrily."Then tell me the truth.! What was Courtney doing with Trent?"
"How did you know Gwen!?"She said, mow looking surprised.
"You slapped your mouth after saying something about Courtney making Trent feel good."said Gwen."now, Tell me the truth!"
"O.K., o.k. I'll talk,said Bridgette,"but promise me you won't get mad, alright?"
"Alright Bridgette,"she said,"I'm calm,(sigh) I'm relaxed, o.k.? Now spill it!"
"Well you see Gwen, before we left, I had to go back into Trent's house to get my cam-quarter. Suddenly, I heard voices coming from down the hallway at Trenton's house. Next thing that happened was that Courtney was kissing and hugging Trent. After that, Trent was hugging Courtney a little bit as she was crying on his shoulder."Bridgette explained.
"Really,"said Gwen,"then what happened?"
"Well,"said Bridgette,"I could barely hear them both making out again. At that point, they both disappeared into his room."
Gwen got a little shocked and upset when she heard this. She said,"Didn't you do anything to stop them!?"
"Well no."said Bridgette.
"Then why didn't you!?"Gwen asked, angrily.
"Because Gwen, when I got up with the cam-quarter, I tripped over a footstool and fell down. The cam-quartet was safe but ouch, what a klutz I was. Soon afterwords, they helped me up and that's all that happened."
Gwen just stood there with her eyes and mouth wide open. She then walked slowly over to the couch and sat down. As she sat down, she glared into outer space and didn't say another word. Bridgette began to worry about her.
So she quietly walked over to the couch and sat next to Gwen. Then she asked,"Uhh, Gwen, are you o.k.?"
Gwen sunk her head a little and said,"I'm alright Bridgette, I'm alright."
"Are you sure?" she wondered.
"Yes Bridgette!"she said as she looked at her."Look Bridge, I want you to do me a favor."
"O.K. Gwen,"She asked,"what is it?"
"I want you to get into your car and just go home, please.."said Gwen.
"But why Gwen,"she asked,"do you hate me now
?"
"No Bridge, It's not that.!"Gwen explained ."It's just that I'm going to need some time alone. You know, I just need a little me time fight now, o.k..?"
"Alright Gwen,"she sighed,"if you insist."
And with that, Bridgette sadly headed towards the front door. There was nothing more that she could do and she felt like she had a big mouth. But before she left, she waved and said good-bye to Gwen.
Gwen turned around and said,"Hold on a minute Bridge, don't blame yourself for tel;ling me this stuff. I forced you into telling me what you know. So don't feel bad about it, o.k.?"
Bridgette smiled and said."Thanks Gwen, you're so cool.!" And then she left for home.
Now Gwen was home alone for a while until her mom and her brother came back. But while she was by herself, she had a lot of things to think about. Especially what she heard about Trent and Courtney.

Gwen's P.O.V.
I can't believe this, twice this has happened to me. It's bad enough that I broke up with that lying, hot headed bastard, Duncan. Who lied to me and tried to control my life. But to make matters worse, I Find out that Courtney's made it passed first base with Trenton! I'm going to find out more about this and when I do, someone is going to pay for this. And It's not going to be Trent.!

So the next day, it was 11:30 in the morning, when Gwen decided to give Bridgette a call. She had just gotten home from church and she needed someone to talk to. So when she got home, she changed her clothes, and called Bridgette.
"Hey Gwen, how's it going!?"Said Bridgette, after she answered her cell phone.
Oh so-so."said Gwen.
"Why Gwen,"Bridgette asked,"and how come you sound so miserable?"
"I don't know Bridge. Maybe I just can't get over the fact that Courtney started hitting on Trent Before I could."said Gwen.
"Oh Gwen you've got to get over it for a while, Besides, you'll get Trent back somehow."
You really think so?"Gwen asked.
"Of coarse girlfriend and I mean it.!"she said.
"Thanks Bridge, I'm feeling much better now."Gwen said, feeling relieved.
"O.k. Gwen, by the way, are you hungry for lunch?"
she asked.
"Well yeah, why do you ask?"Gwen pondered.
"Because, I was thinking that you should come over to my house. And have lunch with me."Bridgette said.
"Oh on Bridgette,"said Gwen,"I'll just stay home and make myself a sandwitch."
"Oh please Gwen, you've got to come over to my house and have lunch with me?"she said."We'll go swimming after we eat. Besides, you have got to try this sandwitch spread my dad made me."
At first she felt a little bit reluctant about going to Bridgette's house, But then she thought about relaxing in her heated pool. So she said,"Welll... o.k. Bridgette; I'll be over at your house in 20 minutes."
"Cool,"said Bridgette,"I'll see you then."
So after Gwen said good-bye to her mom and her brother, she headed over to Bridgette's house. Although her mom wanted to drop her off at her friends house, she insisted on going alone. And even though she didn't win any of the prize monies, she still earned her keep to afford her own car. Her car, however, wasn't much more than a used VW bug, 4 door.
When she arrived at Bridgette's, she pulled into the curb and walked over to the front door. After she knocked on her door, Bridgette came and greeted Gwen. Gwen was also very glad to see her too.
"Hey Gwen, how's it going?"She asked as she hugged her.
"Oh, everything is o.k. Bridgette.!"She said with a smile and laughter."How are you?"
"Oh, I'm fine Gwen. So tell me,"said Bridgette"are you hungry for lunch?"
"Yes I;m starving. But tell me, after we've had lunch,, are you sure you want to go swimming?"she asked.
"Absolutely Gwen,"said Bridgette,"don't tell me you forgot your swim suit?"
"No I didn't Bridge,"Said Gwen,"But enough talk, let's go and eat."
So they headed towards the kitchen and sat down on the barstools next to the counter. There Bridgette pulled a plate with 2 sandwitches on it. She said,"Here Gwen, have a bite. You'll love it.!"
At first, Gwen began to feel a little bit fidgety about eating the sandwitch. So, she asked,"Are you sure about this Bridgette?"
"Gwen, come on just give it a try, please??"she begged.
With that Gwen stared at her sandwitch for a moment, then she finally took a bite out of it. As she ate that first bite, she began to realize how delicious it was. She could taste the pink salmon and the dressing all blended together, just right.
When she finished that first bite, she smiled at Bridgette, Then she said,"M-M-m-m, that wads really good."
Bridgette smiled back at Gwen. Finished her first bite, and said,"No Gwen, that's delicious."
So they sat back and had lunch together. Enjoying each others company. However, when Gwen got to half of her sandwitch, she began to wonder about Bridgette. So she started to talk to her.
"Bridge,"said Gwen,"I know you like this sandwitch spread as much as I do. And believe me, I like it too. But there's something that I don't understand?"
"What's that Gwen?"Bridgette asked, as she ate half of her sandwitch.
"I Thought that you were supposed to be vegan or vegitarian?"Gwen pondered.
"Well, to tell you the truth Gwen,"said Bridgette,"I'm neither. I'm more of an animal activist. Infact. you can blame my dad for getting me into eating this stuff. Not that I don't like it, I do, it' just that you're right. It goes against my principles of not eating meat. But my daddy insist that I get a little more protein in my diet."
"Well it's really good Bridge."Said Gwen,"Infact, I'll bet that some of our friends would really like it too."
"Yeah Gwen,"said Bridgette,""you're right. Infact,I know exactly who'd like this salmon spread.!"
"Who?"she asked.
"Courtney,"said Bridgette."After all, she does have a thing for sea food. I mean, don;t forget how she ate Alejandro's sea food during the mang- man chi contest."
"Yeah, I remember.! Especially how she puked after he puked when he finally took one bite of that gross stuff.!"Gwen laughed

Gwen's P.O.V.
Wait a minute, this gives me an idea! If Courtney still likes sea food, then maybe, just maybe, I can talk Bridgette into inviting her over to try this spread. Not that it taste awful or anything like that. It's just that I need some information and some space to make my moves on Trent. And perhaps if Bridgette can talk her into coming over for a while. Then maybe I can talk her vinto leaving Trent alone so I can get him Back to me.

"Say Bridgette, why don't you do that?"Gwen suggested.
"Do what?"asked Bridgette.
"Why don't you give Courtney a call and invite her over for lunch. I'm sure she'll like this salmon spread."said Gwen.
"Well I don't know Gwen, are you sure this isn't a trick?"she asked.
"What do you mean, Bridgette?"Gwen asked, puzzled.
"Well,I know you Gwen. And I know how much you really want Trent back."she explained.
"Oh come on Bridge, It's no trick."Gwen explained,"I really think that she'll like this salmon spread. And besides, I don't want to fight with her, I just want to talk to her. And maybe make peace with her."
"Wellll..O.k. Gwen,"said Bridgette," you've talked me into it."
So Bridgette gave Courtney a call and invited her over for lunch. However, Courtney wasn't really that hungry for a sandwitch. Infact, she really tired, and didn't feel like traveling anymore. But Gwen was determined to speak to Courtney. So she reminded her about her pool.
When Bridgette told Courtney about her heated pool,she said,"O.K. Bridgette, I'm in."
"Then you'll be coming over to my house today?" She asked.
"Well yeah, I mean there's no point in letting you have all the fun.!"Courtney said."Besides, It's boring over at my house. And going for a swim in a heated pool would be so relaxing."
"Cool, then I'll be seeing you later then, Courtney."said Bridgette."Bye."
After they hung up, Bridgette said,"Alright Gwen. Courtney is coming over like you suggested."
"Cool,said Gwen,"then maybe I'll be able to talk to her."
"No hassles Gwen,"she said,"I don't want any trouble from either one of you.!"
Bridgette,"said Gwen, puzzled,"I'm not going to start any trouble! don't you trust me?"
"It's not that I don't trust you Gwen."She said,"It's just that you two have been hating each other ever since you hit on Duncan. Or should I say, he hit on you? Not to mention that he's a control freak and you want Trent back."
Gwen sighed and said;"You're right Bridge. So what do I do now, go home?"
"Of coarse not Gwen.!"she said asuringly."But what I would suggest that you do, is lay low when she gets here."
"Where then?"Gwen asked.
"Ummm...how about my bedroom?"she suggested.
"Well o.k. Bridge,"said Gwen,"if you insist."
So after they had lunch, Bridgette took Gwen upstairs to her room. There, she showed Gwen her make-up and stuff. Gwen was really impressed by ball of her accessories. She even wanted to borrow some of her stuff but Bridgette said,"Maybe later."
Suddenly, they saw2 Courtney heading up the driveway. Bridgette said."Alright Gwen, you know what to do so stay put. I'll be downstairs with Courtney. When were ready to go swimming, I'll let her know that I've invited someone else to join us. Just remember, no fighting."
"O.K. Bridgette, damn,"she said,"don't be such a worry-wart. I'm not going to start a fight with Courtney.!"
After that, Courtney rang the doorbell and waited for Bridgette to open the door. Bridgette didn't know if she could really trust Gwen not to get into a fight with Courtney. But she had no choice. So she ran down the stairs to let Courtney into her house. Although Gwen knew that she was to remain in Bridgette's room she couldn't help from eves dropping on their conversation. So sh left the door open a little to spy on them.
