Stranded with Louis Tomlinson

Chapter Thirteen

Amber's P.O.V.

When I woke up, it was pouring rain. Thunder roared, lightning illuminated the sky, and there were powerful straightline winds.

"Louis? Are you awake?"

"Yeah."

We huddled close together with the blanket around our backs. I was sure the lightning was going to hit us. Thank God I was wrong.

The storm went on for hours. When it finally ended, we collected food and ate. While we were eating, we sat in a shady spot under a tree. I noticed a spider crawling across my leg and I screamed. I stood up and the spider fell into the sand. I stompped on it several times before I felt better. Louis laughed. "I take it you're scared of spiders?" he joked. I gave him a dirty look.

Later in the afternoon, we walked around in the woods.

"Hey! I think I found something!" Louis said.

"What is it?"

He sped up and I followed him.

"It's a cave. Maybe there's something in it," he said.

Louis crawled in on his hands and knees.

"Anything?" I asked. "It's too dark to see."

"Wait!" he exclaimed.

"What?!?"

"There's a huge hairy spider!" he yelled, laughing. "Not funny, Tomlinson! I'm scared of spiders!" I said. "You don't say?" he teased as he crawled out. "It's too narrow for both of us to live in without constantly being squished," he said. "If there's another storm, could we take shelter in there?" I asked. "It would be cramped, but we could if we really had to," he explained.

When we got back to the beach, we were both exhausted, so we called it a day and went to sleep.
