Even before crashing onto an island in the middle of nowhere, sleep was never a thing to come to easy to you. Back home, you would stay up all night writing, drawing, coloring, reading, playing videogames, hiking, etc. Literally everything except for sleeping. It had gotten so bad that at one point the only time you would sleep was when you would pass out from pure exhaustion. After that happened a few times, your parents took you to the doctor who subscribed you to some sleeping pills that would help. They did and you were starting to sleep at normal times but of course your pills were gone the moment you crashed. The ones you kept in your pocket for safe keeping had gotten wet and dissolved and your back up ones were in your suit case at the bottom of the ocean.

The first few nights, it wasn't that bad. Your body still must of thought you were taking your meds. But once it realized you weren't, well let's just say being awake in the middle of the night on an uninhabited island out in the open hearing all these weird noises was not fun. After the first 2 weeks, everyone got more serious about the situation you were all currently in. You had managed to befriend most of the girls and started growing a crush on one of the twins. Not that you would ever tell her but Rachel noticed and definitely started teasing you for it, after threatening to beat you up if you hurt her sister.

One night while laying awake, you decided to go try and find stuff in the woods that could help the group in the long run. The next morning and many mornings after that, the girls would wake up to extra wood, food, handmade water contains, etc. It definitely confused them and made them a little suspicious about how they got there, considering you would fake sleep every morning so everyone would think you actually slept. Of course, exhaustion was definitely catching up to you as much as you didn't want it to. You tried hiding the bags under your eyes, tried to hide the fatigue that your body was feeling. The girls couldn't tell anything was wrong... Except for one girl, Nora. Nora noticed the way you would sway when you stood still for too long, how you would close your eyes when no one was watching, the bags under your eyes, Nora noticed everything and it worried her.

So one night, she fake slept and kept an eye on you. Luckily, for you, that was one of the nights exhaustion won and you would be one of the first people asleep. Because of this Nora though that she must have just been imagining things, I mean everyone was tired. Maybe you just showed it more. Or maybe, as much as Nora hated to admit it, she cared about you more than the other girls. But seeing you fast asleep from the other side of the sleeping area, put her mind at ease.

You had meant to just go out and get some berries. That's it just some berries. You had done it so many times before, so where the hell did this cliff come from? You thought as you laid at the bottom of it. You had been walking through the forest when you heard a weird noise. As you turned around, you talk one step back and off of a cliff that had seemingly just suddenly appeared. Luckily it wasn't a big enough cliff to kill you but it was definitely enough to knock all the air out of your lungs and probably gave you a concussion. And that's not even mentioning the rocks that you fell on. You definitely had some internal bruising but you could still feel and move everything even if it hurt more than it should. You also weren't that far from camp, so the girls heard you scream.

"What the fuck was that!?" Toni asks as she immediately sits up like the rest of the girls after hearing a ear splitting scream. "I don't know..." Someone responds as Nora does a head count of all the girls and her heart almost stops when she sees your makeshift bed empty. As soon as she notices it, she is on her feet in an instant and everyone gives her weird looks as she starts sprinting down the beach towards where they hear the noise. "Nora!?" Rachel yells as she watches her sister take off. But Nora ignores her and starts yelling your name, hoping you weren't unconscious or worse. "Y/n! Y/n! Y/n!" The girls pick up on what she's yelling and look at your bed to see it look unslept in. They all stand up and run to follow Nora, who had disappeared around the bend of the island.

"Y/n!" You heard people yelling. "Here!" You yell back, wincing as you stuck your arm up in hopes to get anyone's attention. "Y/n!" Nora yells, more in relief now, as she sees you leaning against some rocks with the side of your head bleeding. "What... What happened?" She asks worriedly as she crouches down next to you, too afraid to touch you. "I heard a noise and as soon as I turned around, I fell right off." You finish explaining as the rest of the girls run up, out of breath. Dot immediately starts giving you a check over while Nora tentatively holds your hand. "Do you think anything is broken?" "No, it all just hurts." "Okay, we need to get you back to camp." Dot says as she motions for Toni to help her get you up. Toni comes over and Nora backs away as she watches them help you stand up, clearly in pain. As the girls walk back to camp, well you get dragged back to camp, Nora walks a little ways behind the group and rubs her hands together nervously. Rachel sees the distress clear on Nora's face and slows to walk next to her. She places an arm around Nora's shoulders and continues walking.

It takes a about a week to be a full 100% again but the first night after you've been cleared by Dot, you are already ready to go right back into the woods. As soon as you make a move to get up after everyone was asleep, you feel someone push you back down. When you land on your back you see Nora standing above you with her arms crossed. She holds eye contact with you for as much as she can before she breaks it and looks everywhere else except your face. "Your not going back out there." She whispers with anger clear in her voice. "Well I can't fall asleep so... I might as well do something useful." You respond as you go to get up again and before you can think, you feel a body lay over yours. You freeze as you feel Nora place her head on your chest, your heart beating like crazy causing Nora to notice and blush. "You are staying here." She says, trying to not let her voice shake from nerves. "O- Okay." You say and cautiously wrap your arms around the girl as she falls asleep.

You don't know what it was, maybe the soft sound of Nora's breathing as she slept, the arm wrapped tightly around your waist, or her warmth but you find your self falling asleep shortly after... Only to wake up to a group of smirking girls looking at you and Nora the next morning.
