My only one (on short hold)

Chapter 5 part 3

•Unknown POV•

I wake up to see the girl snuggled up in my arms, I am still a bit shaken up from yesterday though. I look up at the sky wondering if anyone will ever find us or if we will ever get to land. It was cold last night but this morning but be a crazy 40 degrees out. I'm sweating bucket loads, you know what, I'm going for a swim.

I don't know what is in these waters and I don't care right now!. Then again the water is quite clear so I would notice if there was anything, right? I just jump in and soak myself. It is so refreshing and nothing seems to be lurking in the water so I'll carry on.

•Lizzy's P.O.V•

I wake up to clear blue sky and a few fluffy white clouds, still floating on the door but where is that guy from yesterday?

"BOO!!" I hear from behind me. I scream and fall into the water and off the door.

My feet touch the sand as I just manage to put my head out of the water and I was standing just on the tip of my toes. I get back onto the floating door and I just lay there baking and drying off in the sun. As soon as I lay down on the door comfortably. I get flipped over once again.

"Gooood morning!" He says.

I stare at the human being in front of me. Is that Jake?! I rub my eyes to make sure I was not imagining anything. Yup. Its him, it can't be anyone else he looks so much like him!

"Jake?" I ask cutting to the chase straight away.

"I'm sorry do I know you?" He asked. Helloooo I just asked you a question!

"Um honestly, I'm not sure..." I trailed off. Jake would have recognised me, right?

"The name is Andy short for Andrew and yours?"

"Lizzy short for Elizabeth but I'm barely called by Elizabeth anymore... Lizzy is just more, well you know" and I left him with that.

We both got back onto the door and took turns pushing the door, so we get somewhere and fast.

While I pushed the door, I looked up but only to find my vision blocked by Andy's' back because he was sitting on the door. I jumped up by pushing my hands down onto the large white metal door and manage to get a look at what is in front of us. Andy looks at me with a look of happiness and surprise on his face.

Looking further out, I spot a palm tree in the distance. Now Andy and I share the exact same facial expression.

"Land!!" we said together. I never thought I'd be so excited to get to land.

Andy got off the door and we pushed it to shore together, we'll never know if we would need it again.

"Ah finally" I sighed as I sat on the warm golden sand. Andy smiled at me while relaxing on the sand but his smile soon faded as he focused on my hand.

"Your hand!" He said worriedly and knelt down next to me as he grabbed it.

I looked down at my hand and saw my palm covered in sand and bleeding, but how?. I didn't touch anything that cuts!.

I got up to wash of the blood in the seawater, it stung a bit but the salt helped it heal. Andy tore a piece of his already ripped jeans and wrapped it securely around my hand. He then tucked the end piece in the middle part of the sash and told me that we will change it tomorrow. Then we made our way under a palm tree in the shade. I sat down with my legs crossed and he laid down face up, only to be resting on his elbows.

"How do you know all this stuff?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm a junior helper for the scouts back in London and we learn almost everything there" Andy stated.
