I was looking down into the salty water.
I saw the plane going down, me not in it.
We crashed and I was the only survivor from the wreckage.
Or so I thought.
Out of nowhere I was being lifted into the air by something.
I couldn’t move I felt paralyzed. My left leg wasn’t working and was in a serious amount of pain. I think I broke it in the crash. That or I was just over reacting.
I lied back on something soft. I looked up into the sun then sat up.
My eyes widened at who was around me.
“What happened?” I asked the blurry figures that scattered the area. My voice was sore and wasn’t working right.
“The plane…it crashed.” A boy holding onto a piece of luggage said.
My vision started to clear.
“Harry?” I whispered. He nodded. I looked around and saw three other boys in the water.
Louis, Niall and Liam. Where was Zayn?
“Are you alright Avery?” someone asked. The voice came from behind me. I realized I was sitting on someone floating on something.
I turned my head and saw the missing boy.
“No I’m not my leg…I think it’s broken or something.”
We stayed their floating on luggage and debris.
“What do you suppose we do now?” Niall asked.
“Find land.” Zayn said. I could feel his heart beat from the spot on his chest. A minute ago I had lied back down on him.
I saw Louis to my left. He climbed onto a suitcase then balanced himself out and looked around.
His eyes landed on Zayn and I. I could barely see him, but all I could tell was that he wasn’t sending a pretty look towards us.
I turned my head and looked to the right. The waves were going rougher and there was a storm coming. Beyond that I saw a patch of trees and where there were trees there was land.
“Look.” I said pointing to the place. The boys followed my finger and my gaze and Zayn sat up, me with him.
It was about 40 meters away and if we wanted to beat the storm then we would have to hurry.
“Come on.” Zayn said moving me so he could get off. “Let’s go mates.” He said grabbing a handle on the suitcase we both had been on. I gave him a weird look.
“One we’re probably going to need the things in here and two it’s not like you can swim so I suggest stay on.
I rolled my eyes, something I do a lot, at him.
The boys started swimming towards shore. We made it there past the waves and the thunder clouds after a bit of work.
I was lifted by Harry and put onto the sand.
My leg was on fire but I held in my emotions by biting my lip and digging my nails into the palm of my hand. My jaw was tight and clenched.
The boys and I were lying down on the sand breathing heavily. Pretty soon I fell asleep along with the other boys.
I woke up when I felt someone’s hand on my waist. I opened my eyes slowly.
I was met with Liam’s face. He looked peaceful when he slept. The hand belonged to him too.
I nudged him “Liam wake up boy.”
He shook his head annoyed then opened his eyes. They met mine and he smiled. I didn’t since I still remembered where we all were.
Liam’s eyes widened and he sat up. I did too.
Liam looked down to his left passed me and saw Harry and Zayn. He looked to his right and saw Niall and Louis.
Louis looked pretty snug in his hood and him being buried in the sand. I chuckled and Liam stood up. He went to wake up the others.
I grabbed a nearby fallen branch and broke off extra stuff to make a crutch for myself.
I stood up with the help of someone else.
It was Louis and he smiled down at me when I looked at him.
“I think you guys are bad luck for me.” I said. Louis smiled wider.
“Well sorry Love but what can we say? We’re bad boys.” He whispered in my ear.
“What do you want to do now?” Harry asked.
“Unpack since we haven’t got anything better to do.” Niall answered sleepily.
The boys looking through the luggage, which didn’t belong to us, while I checked out the island.
I started going into the forest.
“Wait don’t go in there we don’t know what lurks in it!!” Zayn pointed out. I walked back to them.
“Anything important in there?” I asked them.
“No just a bunch of clothes.” Niall spoke. They opened the last case and we came into luck. It was a doctor’s case filled with medication and supplies.
Harry threw the bottle of ibuprofen at me and I caught it. I took some.
I laid in the sand waiting for it to start helping. 30 minutes later I could walk much better.
We set up camp closer to the forest to avoid the waters tide.
As the rest of the day went on we sat around together talking getting to know each other.
We were going through 20 questions and it was my now.
Zayn asked the first question “Favorite color?”
“Green.”
“Favorite song?”
“Ever After by Marianas Trench.”
“Country?”
“Italy.”
“Why?” Louis asked curiously, wow I didn’t know they were actually paying attention to me.
“Because it’s a beautiful place. Have you ever been?” I asked the boys. They nodded their heads in unison.
They continued to ask questions, as I continued to answer them, until it came to this one “If we never leave this island and we had to inhabit it, who would you sleep with?”
My eyes widened and I turned to the only person sitting next to me.
Of course it was Louis.
“Oh so you fancy Louis eh?” Zayn said.
“What?!?!” I asked shocked.
“Yes you love Louis that’s the reason you turned to him wasn’t it?” Zayn asked.
“No not at all I just wanted someone’s help.” They rolled their eyes at me.
We continued to play until Zayn and I passed out from exhaustion.
I wasn’t fully asleep just drifting so I could still hear the other boys’ conversation. It went something like:
“Harry: Are they asleep yet?’
“Liam: I think so.”
“Niall: How long are we going to stay here?”
“Harry: I don’t know.”
“Liam: How are we suppose to survive? We don’t have any food or much supplies to live.”
“Harry: I don’t know we’ll talk in the morning when everyone’s up.”
I didn’t hear Louis’ voice so I thought he went to sleep.
“Harry: Hey Lou what are you doing?”
“Louis: Just thinking.”
“Harry: About?”
“Louis: Life.”
“Harry: What about it?”
“Louis: (sighs) I think we’re going to die on this island.”
I didn’t hear anything from anyone after that so I guess they went to sleep.
Louis…..
Oh Louis you make me think.
