Addison POV
"Addy wake up" I hear Anastasia say but I just groan and turn over until I get sand all over my face.
"What the-" I say and spit out sand. I wipe it from my face while Anastasia giggles at me.
"Forget we are on an island?" She says and I nod my head. I sit up and look around. Most of the girls were up. I wipe my eyes and take my hoodie off.
"Okay guys we have to make a shelter" I hear Harley say.
"What why rescue is going to come soon right?" Vera asks and Harley goes quiet.
"Yes but for now let's just make a shelter just in case" she says and Vera looks at Brooke. I stand up and dust myself off.
"How are you feeling today Anastasia?" I ask and she shakes her head.
"I feel worse" she says and I sigh.
"Just hang on help will be coming soon" I say and she nods her head. I see Alex standing close to the ocean.
"I'll be right back" I say and she smiles at me. I walk towards Alex.
"Hey you okay?" I ask. She turns her head to look at me and gives me a small smile.
"Yeah just thinking" she says and I look out at the ocean.
"Each airplane has a black box" she says and I side eye her.
"The black box is protected so it's most likely not to break during a crash unless the crash is really bad and the black box is crushed" she says and I look back out at the ocean.
"The black box sends out a signal and is easier to find at sea because it sends out a signal on contact with salt water that can be picked up from a radius of two kilometres. It sends out a ping once per second for 30 days" she says and I breath in and out.
"How long will it work for?" I ask.
"Usually for 6 years but under water it's only 2" she says and I bite my bottom lip.
"And if the box is destroyed?" I ask and she was quiet for a long time. I turn my head to look at her and she does the same thing.
"Then I don't know what we are going to do" she says and I look away from her.
"Hey you two!" I hear Brooke shout. We both turn around.
"Come here!" She shouts and we both walk towards the girls.
"Okay so we can't just wait around and wait to be some animals dinner. We have to get a plan together" Harley says.
"Wait do you think there's wild animals out here?" Anastasia asks.
"Yes I heard them last night" I jump at Dixie's voice.
She was sharpening something in her hand that looked like a handmade knife.
"Where have you been?" Harley asks and Dixie looks at her.
"I didn't sleep much last night so I thought I'd get a head start on this whole survival thing" she says and holds up a knife she made. She managed to make it out of a thin rock that she had sharpened. The handle was made out of wood and it looks like she had wrapped them together with a plant that looks like rope.
"How did we not hear you last night?" Vera asks and Dixie laughs and she crouches down and lets the top of the blade spin on her finger.
"I could of screamed bloody murder and you guys would still be sleeping" she says and smirks.
"Can I see that?" Brooke asks pointing at Dixie's knife. Dixie nods her head and hands the knife to Brooke. Brooke starts examining the knife.
"Okay well done I guess" Harley says.
"We need to make a shelter today, we have no idea when rain might come along and it will make us feel a little safe" Harley says and we nod our heads.
"Where did you find this plant?" Brooke suddenly asks.
"Oh I headed further down the beach. There's these type of plants that easy to turn into rope" Dixie says.
"Brilliant" Brooke says and goes back to examining the knife.
"Can you show me where. I have an idea" she says and Dixie smiles.
"Sure" Dixie says and Brooke smiles big. Dixie stands up and Brooke gives her knife back to her. Dixie puts the knife in the back of her sweatpants with the handle sticking out.
"Hey Brooke do you have a shirt I can change into. This gets to hot" Dixie says and Brooke nods her head.
"Yeah of course" Brooke crawls over to her suitcase and starts to dig in it. Dixie removes her shirt and then the white long sleeved shirt until she was just wearing a bra and I couldn't help but stare. She had abs with a slight scar on her side. She had a butterfly tattoo with some red roses in its wings. It was really beautiful. On the arm she had a dragon going all the way from her wrist to elbow. That too was beautiful.
Brooke throws her a nice dark coloured green tank top. She puts it on and I continue to stare at her tattoos.
"Come on Brooke let's go" Dixie says and Brooke takes off her sweet shirts and gets up.
"Guys we are suppose to be working on shelter!" Harley says.
"Dixie and I will work on keeping us all safe and getting us something to eat" Brooke says and we both stare at them.
"Oh before I forget" Dixie says and digs into her pocket before she throws a pocket knife onto the ground. It was one of those pocket knife that can fold into a ruler, screwdriver and so on.
"Dixie can you bring your backpack?" Brooke asks and Dixie nods her head and picks up her backpack and puts it on.
"Bye!" Brooke says and the two of them walk off.
"Okay well...well those two go do whatever we must build a shelter. Of course Anastasia can't so she will sit this one out but the rest of us can't slack around that's how we get ourselves killed. Now Vera and Addison will go find us big large sticks that can be used as a base, try and find ones that are long as well. Alex and I will look for for big leaves that we can use to put on top of our base so that we can stay protected." She says and I frown.
"We can't just leave Anastasia here by herself" I say.
"It's fine guys. Dixie and Brooke aren't to far away and I'll be fine by myself" Anastasia says and I look at her.
"Are you sure?" I ask and she smiles at me.
"I'm sure Addy now go" she says and I smile at her. Harley picks up the pocket knife and puts it in her pocket.
"If anything happens scream bloody murder. Got it girls?" Harley says and we all nod our heads.
I help Vera up and we all set off into the forest. We walked for awhile, Vera was ahead of me and I was mainly just watching where I was stepping.
"So Vera about last night, which girl did you kiss?" I ask and Vera laughs.
"You know Addison I'm surprised you didn't put your hand up" she says and I frown.
"What why?" I ask and she laughs again.
"You just gave me a gay vibe" she says and I roll my eyes.
"Why does everyone keep saying that!" I say and she laughs harder.
"So you aren't-"
"No I'm 100% straight. I have a boyfriend" I tell her. She turns her head to look at me.
"Okay then...about your question I kissed Brooke" she says and my eyes go wide.
"Wait seriously?!" I say.
"Yeah it was a dare and we did it. That's all" she says and I raise one eyebrow.
"Are you sure that's it?" I ask and she sighs.
"I think so...I don't know" she says and I decide to drop the subject.
We ended up picking up some pretty long and strong sticks. I was carrying so many and so was Vera. I was actually kinda struggling but not as much as Vera.
"Curse Harley for making us go get all these stupid heavy sticks, why couldn't her and Alex do it and we can carry the leaves?!" She says complaining. I just laugh softly.
"Come on Vera we aren't far from our campsite" I say and she groans.
"When I see Harley I'm going to shove one of these sticks up her ass!" I start laughing.
"Vera!" I say and she starts laughing too. We make it through all the trees before finally arriving back at the beach. Anastasia was sitting where we left her expect Dixie and Brooke were back and were knee length into the water just wearing their bikinis holding what looks like a spear. We walk towards Anastasia and put the sticks down.
"Hey guys" Anastasia says and I smile at her.
"Hey, are you holding up okay?" I ask her and she smiles.
"I'm doing better then Vera" she says and I turn around to look at Vera who threw her sticks down and groans before pouting like a little puppy.
"Now my arms are sore!" She says whining before throwing herself onto the ground.
"Someone take me home!" She says. I just shake my head and giggle.
"Yeah something tells me Vera isn't an outside person" I say and Anastasia giggles.
"GOT IT!" I hear Brooke shout and I look out at the ocean to see Dixie and her fist pumping each other.
"What are they doing?" I ask Anastasia.
"Oh well those two made a bunch of tools and weapons. They also made spears and are trying to catch fish for us to eat" she says and I nod my head. My stomach was growling and the fact that we could be getting some food tonight made me excited.
Eventually Alex and Harley came carrying huge leaves. I got up and helped Harley and Alex build a shelter. It took us awhile but by the time we were done the sun was setting and Dixie and Brooke had caught us some fish to eat. I was sitting next to Anastasia while Dixie and Brooke cooked the fish. It wasn't long until they handed us our fish that Dixie had cut up and skinned for us. We all eat away happy to have something to eat and a shelter to sleep under tonight.
I stare at the fire after I finish eating my fish.
"Addy can you help me into the shelter?" Anastasia asks and I nod my head. I try and help Anastasia up but it was a little difficult especially because now my body was tired.
"Do you rather want me to pick her up?" Dixie offers and I look at her and I smile at her.
"Please" I say and for once Dixie smiles back at me. I couldn't help but be amazed at her smiling at me. She picked Anastasia up bridal style and carried her under the shelter with no problem.
Everyone ended up crawling into the big shelter and started sleeping except for Dixie and I. I had my hoodie on and my hair would blow in the breeze. Dixie sat next to me but with a big gap between us. We didn't say anything and continued to watch the fire. Hearing the ocean was quite peaceful.
"I'm terrified of the ocean" Dixie suddenly says and I side eye her.
"Why?" I ask.
"Only 5% of the ocean had been discovered that means that 95% hasn't and that is fucking scary" she says and I smile and look back in front of me.
"True" I say and pull my legs up and hug them to my chest.
"I'm scared too" I say and then there was silence. After what felt like forever I suddenly had the urge to look at her. I slowly turn my head and look at her. Even though the only light we had was the fire she still managed to look beautiful. She slowly turns her head to look at me and we make eye contact. The wind blows threw our hair. The look in her eyes was different, it was comforting and warm. She smiles at me and I smile back still lost in her eyes.
That's when everything went down hill. Dixie started throwing up and I immediately got worried.
"Dixie are you okay?" I say quickly getting up and rushing to her side. She continues to throw up as I hold her hair back and gently rub her back in circles. This is bad.
