Uncharted with One Direction (Zayn Malik)

Chapter 9.

THANKS LOVES, I LOVE YOU ALL BUT CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!!!  :D

I walked through the pitch black forest with only the flashlight as my guide.

I walked past the tree we marked for bananas. I stepped on a bunch of twigs and sticks along the way.

I had lost my shoes in the plane crash.

Lovely I know.

I heard some birds chirping and thought nothing of it. I turned and went in a new direction.

Then another.

And then another.

“Oh shit.” I muttered.

I was lost.

I ran through the trees and the land started going higher.

I ran fast hoping to see a familiar face but I was only met with a hill.

I climbed it and sat on the top. It was very tall since the highest it went was a few feet before it hit the canopy.

I started freaking out.

How was I going to get back?!

I didn’t make it back to camp.

I was breathing heavily and I was sure that I was running in circles.

My feet were hurting after a hour of two of nonstop running.

Where was camp?

Were they still sleeping?

Oh god!! I wish I was back there sleeping next to Zayn and Harry.

I was freezing 10 times worse than when I was holding Zayn.

My teeth were chattering and I was shaking.

I was still holding the flashlight.

The noises in this forest were starting to get to me now.

I stopped running and looked around.

How big was this island?

It didn’t look that big from the front! I looked up and saw sand.

Yes sand!!

I ran towards it. I collapsed onto the sand breathing a sigh of relief. I went to the water’s edge and looked for them or any sign that we were there.

No luck.

The trees even were different.

I was lost and I had no hope of getting back.

I truly was alone.

I took another deep breath and ran back in the forest. I searched for the banana tree again.

I never passed it.

Not once anything looked familiar. My voice was cracking when I started to cry plus I hadn’t had anything to drink since before the plane when I was home.

I held my head in my hands wondering why I didn’t listen to Zayn.

He was right nobody should go in here alone.

Zayn?

Zayn!!

That’s it. I should call them to come help me.

“Zayn?” my voice croaked out into the open.

“Harry? Liam?”

No answer. I cleared my throat some more.

“Niall?! Louis?!” I sighed, tired of all of this.

“Anybody?” I closed my eyes hoping this was just a bad dream and that I’d wake up back with the boys.

I fell into a dreamless sleep alone in the forest with no light on. I had turned off my flashlight.

I was doomed.

“Avery?!” a distant voice called.

“Avery?!”

The voice was getting louder, coming closer.

It was Derek.

It was him.

I just knew it.

It was his voice.

It was him calling my name.

Coming to do it again.

“Avery? Avery!!” the voice came closer to me.

His hands gripped my arms tightly slightly shaking me, as I let out an ear piercing scream.

I opened my eyes.

My green eyes met a pair of light hazel ones.

“Beautiful? What are you doing here?! We thought you were dead!! We-we-we thought you-you. Don’t leave us again!! You hear me?!” Harry said still gripping my arms.

I ignored his demands of standing up and grabbed his neck.

His voice honestly sounded a lot liked Derek’s.

He was half kneeling over me when I hugged him closely.

His arms went around my waist and he sat down.

I sat in his lap crying quietly almost silent.

Only a few tears fell and every time I cried I felt like my IQ was dropping.

After a few minutes he backed away a little.

He stared into my eyes as I did the same to him.

He started leaning forward but before his lips met mine I turned my face and he got my cheek.

What did I just do?!!?!? I should have let him kiss me!!!!

He looked down at his hand and mine together.

With his thumb he was drawing swirls on my palm.

It relaxed me but his touch gave me intense goose bumps.

“What is that?” he asked curiously.

He was holding my left hand. He didn’t look freaked out by my birthmark I had, in the palm of my hand, a cross it was shaped like. It looked like an X actually.

“Birthmark.” He nodded his head at my response.

He looked into my eyes when he spoke the next few words.

“Why did you scream when I touched you?” his eye brows scrunched together like he was worried.

“I thought you were someone else.” I responded trying not to remember the person. His eyes filled with sorrow when realization hit him.

“Did you think I was Derek?”

I nodded my head slowly holding in my tears. I felt like such a drama queen. These hidden emotions were bound to come out sooner or later and I wished it wasn’t in front of a famous band of hot guys.

“Oh Beautiful its okay to--” he started but was cut off.

“Hazard please doesn’t go all sentimental on me. I liked it better when you were flirty and funny.”

He rolled his eyes at me and we got up hand-in-hand.

I let go of his warm hand when we were getting closer to camp.

How did Harry know the forest so well that he got us back in ten minutes?

Beats me.

All I know is that….

Harry is my knight in shining armor.
