Courtney shivered when she woke up the next morning. The sun was still not up, but merely peeked from behind a curtain of upset rain clouds. She got up and rubbed her eyes. Her bed felt slightly colder than usual. She grimly packed her things. It didn't take long since they were very organized. She stopped in the doorway and scanned the room for any left items. She let a sad sigh remembering all the crazy, eerily wonderful moment she had spent this summer. It was funny to her now. She remembered coming to the show only for the money. Ironically, she got everything else but that. She quietly made her way down to the hectic hallway. She almost tripped on Noah's bag as se made her way up to the Montreal waiting spot.
"Watch it," Noah grumbled adjusting his bag. His back still ached from Heather's ridiculously many and heavy bags.
"I can't wait to get out of here," Heather muttered next to him tightening her arms around herself. She felt cold from the chilly morning breeze.
"Greetings, Heather," Harold made his way up to them.
She rolled her eye. "What do you want now?"
"I just came to bid you goodbye. Gosh!"
"Oh," she looked at him. "I guess this is goodbye, Harold."
"I wouldn't be counting on it," Noah said. "Knowing the producers we'll be back together in no time. Woo-hoo," he sarcastically continued.
"It was a pleasure getting to know you," Harold wiggled his eyebrows remembering the time when Heather flashed him.
"Harold!" Heather slapped him.
"Gosh!" he rubbed his arm. "Take care of her," he turned to Noah. "This little one is a beast."
Cody gloomily walked up to the Ottawa group.
"Chef!" he gasped.
"What are you looking at, soldier?" Chef answered.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm heading back home myself," he sighed.
"You live in Ottawa?" Cody whispered.
"Hell yeah!" Chef cried.
Cody was already damming every single day of his life when someone poked him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, Rudy," Lindsay said. "But is this the place for O-"she quizzically looked at Tyler.
"Ottawa?" he asked.
"Yep," Cody sighed. "One train ride to Ottawa."
"You hear that, Tyler?" Lindsay enthusiastically said. "I'm going home by train! I've never been on a train!"
"Never?" Cody raised an eyebrow.
"Never," she answered. "What's it like?"
"Well it's…" Cody started explaining.
"Hey, Linds," Tyler called his girlfriend, but she was too entranced by Cody's knowledge of trains.
He smiled. He will miss her. He made his way up to the Vancouver group.
"What are you doing here?" Heather asked.
"Waiting for my ride," he answered.
"Great," Noah said without looking away from his book.
"Please don't leave!" they heard Harold screamed as he clung onto Leshawna's leg.
"Let go, Harold," she grunted.
"Don't tell me home girl is coming to Vancouver too!" Heather cried.
"Heather?" Leshawna stared at her. "Please don't tell me this is happening."
"I'm begging you!" Harold yelled from where he was laying on the floor.
"Oh," she crouched next to him. "Listen, you're a strong little man. You need to find the strength to get a hold of yourself."
"But I'll miss you," he sobbed.
Leshawna smiled.
"Fine," he got up. "I'll go now before I cause a scene."
"Because you definitely didn't cause one just now," Noah commented.
"Shut up!" Leshawna snapped at him.
Tyler laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" she defensively said.
"You really are a piece of something," he said.
"I'll miss you, like, so much," Lindsay hugged Beth tightly to her chest. "Promise me you'll call me every day!"
"I will," Beth wiped away her tears. "Thank you for lending me your dress even though I broke it."
"BFFL!" they cried.
It was time for Beth to go. Her boyfriend, Brady, was supposed to pick her up in his new sports car any minute so that they would drive to her parents' ranch.
"Hey, Beth," someone patter her shoulder.
"Yeah, Justin?" she turned. "Is there something wrong?"
"N-no," he nervously said. "I…I've been meaning to tell you something," he bit his lower lip.
Beth's eyes lit up when she saw Brady come inside the lobby and strike a pose.
"Can you make it quick then?" she said. "I really gotta go."
"Well I…" he looked at the way she couldn't wait to run off in Brady's arms. "I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you too," she sweetly smiled. "I'll e-mail you!" she tiptoed off to Brady.
He sighed. He was hoping that she would guess his feelings, but not anyone, not in a million years, would guess that he was in love with Beth. He turned to the Toronto group where Katie and Sadie were eagerly waiting for him.
"Hey, guys," Owen walked up to the Alberta group.
Eva grunted while Harold kept crying in DJ's arms.
"If you're not going to make him shut up, I will," Eva threatened DJ.
"Calm down, Eva," he said.
"Oh my God!" Izzy materialized out of nowhere. "We are going to have so much fun on the plane!"
"Please don't tell me she's coming with us," Eva rolled her eyes.
"And you have such a nice hair," Katie and Sadie played in his hair.
Gwen tiredly walked up to them. "What's up?"
"You're going to Toronto too?" Justin asked.
"I'm catching a plane there and then a plane ride to Winnipeg," she answered.
"Thank God," Justin muttered.
Duncan walked up to the Vancouver group covered in lipstick marks.
"Here come another one," Noah unenthusiastically said.
"You can't be serious," Heather gasped.
"Danger boy?" Leshawna gaped. "You from Vancouver?"
"Actually I'm from a small town called Tofino. It's near Vancouver," he explained.
Geoff made his way up to them carrying Bridgette.
"Here you go, baby," her released her from the slobbery make out session.
"Don't tell me you guys are from Vancouver too," Leshawna said.
"No," Geoff answered. "Just this little lady is from Tofino."
"Tofino?" Duncan asked.
"Surfer's Paradise?" Bridgette raised an eyebrow.
"I'm from there too, Malibu," he replied.
"Awsome!" Geoff threw his arms around Duncan's shoulders. "Look out for her, will you, man?"
"S-sure," Duncan stared at him.
"The bus for Toronto is just outside!" Chris cried.
"That's my ride," Geoff said. "Bye, baby! I'll text you!" he gave her a quick kiss before running off.
"Hey, guys," he greeted the others.
"You're from Toronto too?" Justin asked.
"I'm from the awsome town of awsomeness called Winnipeg," he answered.
"I'm from Winnipeg too," Gwen said.
"Sweet!" he cried. "I thought the train ride was gonna be like boring, but now I have you to talk to!"
"I can't wait," Gwen rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to go now, eh," Ezekiel said. "I wanted to say goodbye to everyone!" he walked out of the lobby.
"Where is he going?" DJ asked.
"I heard that he's retuning home by foot," Owen answered.
Courtney nervously looked around. People were starting to leave and Trent was nowhere in sight. He finally appeared with a goofy smile on his face.
"Problems packing," he said.
"I see," she said feeling her stomach churn. They locked gazes. "Listen," she said. "I'm not really good at this so let's just say goodbye now."
"Okay," he sighed as their lips collided in one electrifying kiss.
They stopped for air; both gasping. They stared at each other.
"You can go now," Courtney narrowed her eyes.
"Go where?" he asked.
"Cast mates, the bus to Montreal just arrived," they both turned in Chris' direction.
"Wait-"Courtney said.
"You're from-"
"Montréal!"
She shyly nodded. Trent swept her up in his arms and gave her a kiss.
"We were so worried about leaving, we forgot to ask where the other one lived," she whispered.
"Can you lovebirds get a move on?" Chris asked. "I haven't got all day!"
Laughing and hand in hand, they embarked on the bus.
Fin.
Okay this was one crazy ride and I'm glad that I shared this with you. Even though I don't even deserve half the reviews I got I appreciate that you had been supportive! There are many other authors that should be read! So I guess this is pretty much it. Should there be a sequel. Unlikely. A few one-shots....maybe or an all new chaptered CourtneyxTrent. But look out for my Valentine's day one-shot although I haven't decided on the pairing, yet and I will start as soon as possible, I already have a first chapter for it a DuncanxBridgetter titled A Liar and a Cheater so look out for it!
Hope to hear from you soon and read your awsome fics!
Thank you,
rosedarling.
