Courtney's P.O.V.
Wow, what a blast we had at Bridgette's house. We ate, we all went swimming, and had lot's of fun, until we got tired. Gwen was the first to get out, then Bridgette and I followed. After we got out and dried ourselves off, we laid back and relaxed in the long chairs. I put on my sunglasses to get some sun' As for Bridgette and Gwen, they were busy talking about how bad things went For Gwen when she faced Duncan. I said,"It couldn't be as bad as my first তারিখ with Trent."But Gwen just wouldn't believe me. She said,"Look Courtney, আপনি don't know what kind of person he can really be like until you've faced him." I told her "Gwen, you've just got to get tougher than he is."But she said,"Well that's just it Courtney, you're আপনি and I'm me. And I doubt that I'll ever have the courage to handle aggressive men like that."Naturally, I tried to assure her that Duncan couldn't have been all that bad but Gwen and Bridgette disagreed with me. Well I was curious about how bad Duncan treated Gwen. And I could see how curious the girls were about how bad my তারিখ went with Trent. So we agreed to tell our stories about how bad things went. And talk it out with each other. Of coarse, when Gwen told me how much of a control freak, and a total d!@%&#@d he was, I became shocked. He never once, treated me that way. I said"Aww Gwen, you've just got to know how to handle men like him. Some, like Trent, can be very sweet, caring, and gentle. While others, like Duncan, need to be handled দ্বারা a leash and a crack whip."

Gwen's P.O.V.
A crack whip, A CRACK WHIP!? After Courtney ব্যক্ত that to the both of us, Bridgette and I cracked up laughing. I said"Well-l(snort)if আপনি want him back, আপনি can have him. Like I told you, it's over between us both. And I'm not going back to Duncan."Naturally, Courtney said,"Thanks but I'll just wait until he cools off. Besides Gwen, to tell আপনি the truth, I've been stalking the both of আপনি ever since we came back প্রথমপাতা from Hawaii. I said,"Why am I not surprised."She even told me how many girlfriends Duncan had."So, আপনি met his sisters too?"I asked."Yes,"she said,and let me tell you. They're a lot আরো nicer than he ever was." So anyways, Courtney continued on about her first তারিখ with Trent. And how things went really good, until they got to the mall. She told us about how many অনুরাগী Trent had, including girl fans. She even described 6 of his অনুরাগী at the mall, that kinda surrounded them. I wonder if Courtney was talking about my cousin? From the way she described the girls made me wonder about that. She ব্যক্ত that one of them had long brown hair. While the other two had short hair cuts. One had pixie blond hair, while the other had colored hair, like mine.

"And if it weren't for those অনুরাগী surrounding us,"said Courtney,"we would've had a better time together, alone."
"You know what Courtney,"said Gwen>"one of those অনুরাগী আপনি described sounds just like my cousin Nikki. I wonder if she's in town?"
"I don't know Gwen but tell me, does your cousion have purple hair?"Courtney asked.
Yeah she does and it's as short as mine."said Gwen.
"Oh wow Gwen, it's hard to believe how much your cousin and her বন্ধু are অনুরাগী crazy over Trent.!"She said,"Have আপনি ever met her বন্ধু before?"
"Well no, I haven't really."said Gwen."But I have heard her tell us stories about her বন্ধু Wyatt, Jude, Jennifer, and Caitlin. Oh, and especially about her boyfriend, Jonsey. She used to describe him as mr. hot shot. What a pig he was."
"Yep, that sounds just like them."said Courtney."We had to lose them just to get some time alone. It might have worked out if it weren't for one thing that we both had."
"What's that?"Bridgette asked.
"The fact that we were both still hung up on our x's."Courtney ব্যক্ত sadly."So we talked it over and decided to just be good friends. So we kissed one last time and hugged each other. Afterwards we ব্যক্ত good-bye and went our separate ways. It was sad but it was our choice we made, for the time being."
"Oh Courtney, did আপনি really want to do that?"Gwen asked.
"Well, yeah,"she said,"I mean let's face it. Trent still loves আপনি and he still thinks about আপনি Gwen. As for me, I still can't help but to think about that dumb b&$!@%d Duncan."
"Well Courtney,"said Gwen,"I don't blame আপনি one bit for calling him that."
Courtney giggled, as well as Bridgette did. Then she said,"Cute Gwen, really cute. So yell me something o.k.?"
"What Courtney?"Gwen asked.
"Now that আপনি have Trent's cell phone number,"she asked,"what are আপনি going to do?"
"I don't know Courtney?"Gwen pondered."I'm a little bit scared to call him right now. I mean, what if he's still mad at me for what happened during the world tour?"
Courtney touched Gwen on her shoulder for assurance. Then said,"Trust me Gwen. Like I said, he still loves you.!"
"Trust her Gwen,said Bridgette,"she knows what she's talking about."
"I know Bridge, I know."said Gwen.
"So Gwen, there's just one thing that I, অথবা should I say, we should know about."Said Courtney."Just what the heck were আপনি and Trent doing out in the parking lot? That got আপনি crying over him? Other than the fact that he left us."
"Yeah Gwen, you've got to tell us about that!"said Bridgette."I've just got to know, pleeease?"
"Alright, alright Bridge.(sigh)"said Gwen with a smile on her face."If it will make আপনি two happy, I'll tell ya."
After hearing that they all gathered পরবর্তি to Gwen to hear her story. They stared at Gwen and waited for her to tell them about what happened that friday. She had one last drink of her চেরি কোকাকোলা then she was ready to speak.
"Well Gwen, what happened?"asked Courtney,"What did he do to আপনি that go আপনি so upset? Did he slap আপনি অথবা something?"
"Of coarse not Courtney, jeez.!"said Gwen while she was laughing."What made আপনি think of that! I mean, come on, he's not that cruel.!"
"I know Gwen, I know, it just popped in my head that's all."She said, with a smile on her face. "So what did happen then?"
"Well I'll tell you."Said Gwen,"As soon as Trent was about to leave the studio parking lot, I did everything to stop him. When he refused to speak to me about anything, I threw myself at him and begged him not to go. পরবর্তি thing that happened was that he turned around to face me. Took off his goggles and শিরস্ত্রাণ and picked me up. Then he embraced me and kissed me. We kinda made out in the parking lot but it was oh so romantic.!"
"Is that all??"Bridgette asked.
"Well yeah Bridge.!"she said."I mean it felt like it was the first time we ever kissed in our life."
"I know but the way that আপনি were crying and all that. I অথবা should I say, we'd thought that he did something really mean to you.?"said Bridgette, with a little snicker in it.
"Oh come on Bridgette,"said Courtney,"I think that's so romantic.!"
"Well, I still don't get it? What's so big about Trent's kiss?"she asked.
Gwen glared at Bridgette for the moment. Then said,"What's so big about it, Bridgette, are আপনি serious?! Courtney, answer me this, when আপনি kissed Trent, did আপনি feel like a stick of মাখন that melted in his hands?"
"Well uh, yeah Gwen,I guess I did."She ব্যক্ত as she blushed.
"And when he kissed আপনি a সেকেন্ড time, Didn't আপনি feel like holding on to him and never letting him go?"Gwen asked.
"Well yeah, but what's that got to do with his kiss?"Courtney pondered.
"Everything, Because that's exactly how I felt when he kissed me."she said. Then she turned to Bridgette and asked;"Now do আপনি understand what I'm saying Bridgette? Even when Courtney explained it to you.?""Oh wow Gwen!"said Bridgette."I never knew how much of a lover Trent really was. I wonder if I could get him to take me out on a date? Maybe even get him to give me some sugar, ehh?"
"Not on your life Bridgette!"they shouted."So don't even think about it!!"

Bridgette's P.O.V.
"Well I was just kidding.!"I ব্যক্ত to Courtney and Gwen. Although they didn't really believe me, I really meant it. Even if I did get a chance to চুম্বন Trent, there's no way I'd trade my প্রণয় for Geoff for someone else. After all, I already did that when Geoff was out and Alejandro stepped in. I couldn't help myself because he was so smooth and sincere, I didn't realize how much of a dirty scumbag he really was. Until it was too late. And even when I apologized to Geoff about it, he wouldn't let me forget about it for quite some time. But at least we're back together again. So now that the fun time was over with, Courtney and Gwen changed back into their clothes, and went home. But before we বিভক্ত করা up, we made a vow of sisterhood friendship. No matter what happens, we we promised that we'd remain b.f.f.l. I wonder if LaShawna would be interested in joining us?

Gwen's P.O.V.
So after we all got dressed, we made a strong friendship vow. It seemed a whole lot better than the vow we made on board the plane. And yet, I kinda wondered if it really would last forever.? After all, who knows how our lives would turn out. But one thing's for certain, we are definitly going to be b.f.f.l.. Now, as far as it goes for Trent's phone #, I still don't know what to do with it. Although I am grateful for Courtney giving it to me, I just don't know what to say to him anymore. How do আপনি talk to someone you've broken up with to tell him how আপনি really feel? And how do আপনি express yourself on how much আপনি want that person back? I have no idea? But one thing is for certain, I'm not going to give up until I have Trenton back. And that is a promise.

As days became weeks, Gwen found it difficult to summon up the courage to give Trent a call. But when she did, his cell phone was busy. However, she was determined to talk to him, so she never gave up. So she kept on calling Trent until he finally answered his cell phone. Unfortunately for Gwen, she'd loose the courage to talk to him and hang up on him. Why, because every time Trent would answer his phone and say something, she'd freeze. And then she'd foolishly hang up. It soon came to the point to where Trent became annoyed দ্বারা the person who kept calling him and not saying anything. Now Trent was angry and wanted to know who was behind all of this.
One day, while Trent was প্রথমপাতা doing nothing, a phone call came in on his cell phone. Noow it was true that Trent was sick and tired of getting calls and no one answering him. But he had to see who it was this time. So he answered his phone with much reluctance. What he didn't know was that it was he beat friend Geoffrey calling.
"Listen you, who ever আপনি are,"said Trent, angrily,"if you're not going to talk to me after আপনি call me after আপনি call me.! Then do me a favor and stop calling me o.k.!"
"Woe-woe-woe-woe Trent, slow down,"said Geoff,"it's me chum! What's going on dude?!"
"Oh Geoff, is that you?"Trent asked."Oh thank God, I thought it was some stalker calling me.."
"What are আপনি talking about Trent?"Geoff wondered. So Trent explained to him the whole story about a stranger that kept calling him. And every time he'd get the call no one would talk to him অথবা leave him a message on his cell phone.So Geoff asked"Do আপনি still have that strangers phone number?"
"Yeah Geoff, I'll send it to আপনি if আপনি still want to take a look at it?"said Trent.
"That's exactly what i was thinking!"said Geoff.
After they hung up he found the phone number from the unknown caller. He then memorized it and sent it to Geoffrey's cell phone দ্বারা text. After Geoff took on e look at the number trent sent him, he soon gave Trent a call back to talk to him.
"Hello?"Trent answered.
"Hey Trent, is that you?"Geoff asked.
"Well of coarse it's me."He said,"Did আপনি figure out who's number that is?"
"No,"said Geoff,"but it does seem familiar to me. Let me call আপনি back in a little while, o.k. buddy?"
"O.K. Geoff, he said,"call me back when আপনি get some আরো info. on this stuff."
"You got it pal."said Geoff. And he hung up his cell phone.

Geoff's P.O.V.
There's Something awfully familiar about that telephone number Trent gave me. Could it be possible that Gwen now has Trent's cell phone number? And if it does, did Bridgette give it to her as a gift? Even after I told her not to.! Well I'm going over to Bridgette's house to find out for myself, once and for all. I can seroiusly state, that I am totally unhappy about this.

So when he finally got to Bridgette's, he knocked on her door as fast as he could. Bridgette was surprised to see Geoff when she opened the door. She had no idea that Geoff was coming over to visit.
"Hi honey, what are আপনি doing here?"she asked.
"Bridgette,"said Geoff,"we need to talk."And with that, he walked into her house.They both headed into the living room, where they sat on the পালঙ্ক to talk.
"Is this really important Geoff?"she asked.
He said,"Yes it is Bridge, very important. আপনি see sweetheart, apparently, Trent has been getting some strange phone calls from his cell phone. Yet everytime he উত্তর his phone, he been getting no response."
"Really,"she asked,"who'd do something like that?"
"I don't know Bridge?"He ব্যক্ত as he pulled out his cell phone."But the number looks awfully familiar.! আপনি wouldn't happen to know who's number this is, would you?"
When Bridgette heard that and saw the number that Geoff was talking about, she froze for the moment. She knew that it was Gwendolin's but she couldn't tell him the truth about it. So she tried to lie about the whole thing.
"Well umm, I don't know what you're talking about Geoff."said Bridgette."I have no idea who's number that belongs to.?"
"Are3 আপনি sure?"He asked.
"Yes I'm sure.!"she said, stubbornly.
Now Geoff knew that she was lying, because he knew that it was Gwen's Cell phone number. And even though she denied it, he also knew something was wrong. So he was determined to make her tell the truth. Even if he had to interrogate her all day.
"Bridgette, don't lie to me.!"He ব্যক্ত angrily. As he spoke to her, he gave her the lazy eye."Now come on, out with it. You'd better tell me the truth, অথবা else."
"Or else what.?"Bridgette asked, a little startled.
"Or,Or els-s-se I'll never go out with আপনি again. And to think, I had these two tickets to see Genesis live in concert.!"
"But Geoff!?"cried Bridgette.
"Bridgette, tell the truth!"Geoff said, angrily.
Now she knew that he was being serious about the whole thing. So she said,"Alright Geoff, alright, আপনি don't have to get into a fit about it, I'll talk. And might I say that you're as bad as Gwen is when it comes to interrogating people.!"
"Aw-w Bridgette,said Geoff.I thought I told আপনি not to get involved! I can't believe that you, my girlfriend, would even give her Trent's phone number."
"But Geoff, আপনি just don't understand. I never gave her Trent's number, Courtney did it.!"she explained.
"No way.."he said.
"yes she did.!"she replied.
"How?"Geoff asked.
"Well, if you'd let me explain,"said Bridgette, Frustrated,"I'll tell আপনি the whole thing.!"
"Alright Bridgette, explain yourself."Geoff ব্যক্ত as he laid back on the couch.
So she told him everything that happened weeks ago. How Gwen was pining over Trent so much after he left the parking lot. How upset she got after she watched the video he dedicated for her. How, after she found out how much of a jerk Duncan was, she broke up with him. And especially how her and Courtney got into a fight over Trent and nearly killed each other. Also that she was the one who put a stop to it before they destroyed her room. And even though Gwen and Courtney talked it out and rekindled their friendship. Even though Courtney did tell about her short relationship with Trent. She still gave Gwen Trent's cell phone number and ended the hatred between them.
"And didn't আপনি do anything to stop it?"Geoff asked.
"Well I did tell Courtney about the promise I made to you.!"she said.
"And?"he asked.
"She said, and I quote,(You made the promise, I didn't!"). Then she gave Gwen his cell phone number."Bridgette finished.
"Oh-ho-ho no.!"Geoff groaned.
"Well I'm sorry Geoff but like I said, Gwen is my best friend."said Bridgette."And I'd do just about anything to help her out. Would আপনি do he same thing for Trent?"
"Well to be honest with আপনি Bridge,"he sighed,"I've been trying to do so for over the last few weeks. But it looks like you've beat me to it."
Bridgette smiled and asked;"So now what are we going to do about it?"
"you just leave it up to me, I've got a call to make."said Geoff."And one আরো thing, please don't get into any আরো trouble like this, o.k.?"
"You've got it darling.(smooch)"she said, with a kiss.
So after Geoff headed for home, he started to call Trent. He didn't know exactly how to explain it to him but he knew this ws something that he needed to know about. Yet he also knew that Trent was going to be shocked when he'd discover that the mystery caller was Gwen. As Trent's cell phone rang, he was glad it was Geoff.
"Hey Trent, how's it going?"Geoff asked.
"Alright I guess."said Trent."So did আপনি find out who the mystery caller was?"
"Well yeah but tell me something Trent?"Geoff asked."Would আপনি like to hear the good news অথবা the bad news first?"
"Uhh, the good news?"he pondered.
"Well the good news is, আপনি don't have to worry about who the mystery caller is."said Geoff.
"Really, who is it?"Trent asked.
"That's the bad news Trent."he explained."Gwen the one who's been the mystery caller, thanks to Courtney. And she's been pining over আপনি ever since আপনি left the parking lot during the talk show."
"Bu-bu-but why?"Trent asked in shock." I thought she'd be happier with Duncan instead of me?"
"I thought so to but well-l, it's a long story. I think that Gwen should tell you."said Geoff."So now what are আপনি going to do chum?"
"The only thing I can do Geoff."said Trent."Sit back and just hope that she calls me again. Eeven though i know she will."
"Me too pal, me too."said Geoff.
