Back Talking & BackHanding

Islands

Ari POV

As we were on the plane I was relieved to see that Sean had fallen asleep. He was always cute when he was sleeping. His mouth was only slightly open, his hair flung to one side. It was adorable and he was harmless. An hour later he woke up and immediately started bothering me. "Are we there yet?" He asked. I shook my head."can I lay on your lap?" He said. "Um no. Just, no" I said. He curled himself up and rested his head on my lap. I rolled my eyes. "You must love rolling them eyes, hm?" He said. I jolted my leg up. "Off." I barked.

Sean whined and snuggled back up to me. "Can you leave me alone?" I growled. Sean snorted and sat up straight. "No, Fox. I can't. And I won't." he whispered but in a harsh way. "I'm going to say this, and I'm going to say this once. I don't give two flying fucks and a monkey's penis if you don't like me. Im not going to get a stupid F in this class because you don't like me and I for sure am not letting you ruin this trip for me. You're going to do as I say or Im going to hurt you.....and you know I will hurt you."

Sean's harsh, hushed tone made me tremble. His eyes were dark and murky and scary. I did know he would hurt me. "Do you understand me girl?" He hissed. I gulped and nodded. "Good." he rested his head back onto my lap and I sat through a few hours of hearing his soft snores, and feeling his heavy body shifting constantly. My eyes started to get a little heavy and I yawned and rubbed my eyes. I looked around and saw everyone was occupied.

Talking, sleeping, eating. Writing, drawing, reading. I don't know, doing something. On a lap tap, maybe. Taking selfies, or whatever. I just wanted to sleep. The plane started shaking and I didn't think that was good. I heard the captain trying to speak through the microphone thing but I wasn't focused on what he was saying.

There was smoke coming from the back of the plane and everyone was screaming and shouting and bleh bleh bleh. Sean woke up looking frightened as ever, and many people were holding on to whatever they could get their hands on. Railings, seats, other people. "Brace for Impact." The captain said. Sean grabbed me and pulled me tightly into his embrace.if I️ hadn't been so scared I️ probably would've shoved him away, but I️ felt safe in his arms for whatever the reason and cling to him as tightly as I️ could. I waited and everything fell silent. Then, everything went black.

I woke up laying on something soft. I was under something, and it was warm. I fluttered my eyes open and saw I was laying in a bed. I tried to lift my head but it hurt. So I laid back. I rolled over on my back and examined where I was. The bed was a large queen sized one, and there was one window in the room. No tv, just a dresser, 2 lamps, a rug, a bed on the other side of the room and the bed I was currently laying on.

And a door, of course. I closed my eyes, not knowing where I was. Maybe it was all just a dream and I was laying In my grandma's house in a room Id never known of, or something. Or I was visiting an uncle Id never met before, I don't know. I closed my eyes for a moment and thought. I sat up slowly, avoiding verde-go and cupped my hands over my face. I rubbed them.

The creek of the door opening startled me. "Oh, you're awake." it couldn't be. It just couldn't be. Out of all people, I could've gotten stuck with. It just couldn't be Sean Anderson. I said nothing. Maybe if I stay still, he won't see me. I thought to myself. "Are you hungry?" Sean asked in a soft tone. "....No." My stomach growled in protest. "Um, well, if you get hungry, there's food in the kitchen." he said. "Where am I? What happened to everyone? Why are you here? Do you know where anyone else is? How did I get here? Where's the plane? How'd you find this house thing? What kinda food is it? Are we trapped here? Are we in Spain? How the hell do we get home?" I drilled and Sean looked overwhelmed.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa, Fox. I don't know half of those answers." he said. "The plane crashed, no one else was around when I woke up. I saw you and I couldn't just leave you there. I need someone to eat." I rolled my eyes at the statement. "And this guy told me that I could stay here. So I brought you here." I stood up shaking my head. I started to pace.

"Your clothes are all in the 'living room' by the way." Sean was so calm. He acted like everything was okay. We were stuck in some random place with no way to contact anyone we knew, all of our friends and teachers could be dead, and I was stuck there with him. ABSOLUTELY 600 MILES AWAY FROM OKAY!!!!

"How can you be so calm?!" I snapped. "We could die out here and you're acting like its cool. Have you even tried to get off your ass and do something about this whole thing?! You probably don't even care that your friends and teachers could be dead right now. DEAD! And you're being so calm about it." I growled continuing to pace. "Actually," Sean said in matter-of-fact.

"I walked about 70 miles today looking for anyone I knew. But I came back when it started getting dark because 1- I could get attacked by something or lost, and 2- I didn't want to leave you here to wake up by yourself." Sean's point was clear. I rolled my eyes. "Keep rolling them, Fox." Sean hissed. "I think I will." I barked. "I don't have to be doing this. I wanted to leave your little stubborn, rotten ass." Sean growled.

"I wanted to let you sit out there, alone, and just let you suffer and die slowly. Because that's what you deserve to happen to you. But I didn't. Because I'm not that sick of a person to leave someone for dead. No matter how much they don't like me. So fine. Hiss at me. But I did this for you, and you can't even thank me." Sean left then. I rolled my eyes, threw up my arms and screamed.

I sat back down on the bed. Thank him? He was out of his got damn mind. All of a sudden he wanted to be a good person, after so long of being a bitch, and he expects me to take him in with open arms? Cahh, what an idea.
