Holly's POV:

I wake up and quickly notice Gally's strong arms wrapped around me. We are facing each other with my head nestled into his neck and one of my legs draped over his side. I lie still for a while watching him sleep until I get impatient. I reach out and softly caress his cheek. He stirs and smiles without opening his eyes.

"Morning Bambi." He says sleepily, god he has such a sexy morning voice! It's all deep and croaky! I smile and pepper light kisses on his lips.

"Good morning Gals. I love you." He pulls me closer to him and I melt into him.

"I'm still tired baby."

"You're going to need to let go of me soon Gals, unless you want me to have an accident on our lovely, comfy bed." Gally gently unravels his arms from my waist. I stand up and put in my clothes, black leggings and a white tank top over my sports bra and pants. I grab my socks and shoes and sit in the edge of the bed to put them on. While I put them on, Gally sits behind me and runs his fingers up and down the exposed skin in my back. I squirm at the tickely feeling his touch leaves. He moves my hair from my back and puts it over my shoulder leaving my neck exposed and he takes no time to start trailing kisses up my neck. I shiver in pleasure and move my head to give him more access. He finds my sweet spot and grazes his teeth over it making me let out a small moan.

"Gally stop, I need to get ready to make breakfast." He carries on kissing me and it's hard to focus on tying my shoe laces.

"I wish we could stay in bed all day. We could have so much fun." I get up and give his hair a playful ruffle.

"I think we had more than enough fun last night don't you think." I pick up my hairbrush and open the front door.

"Definitely! Have a good day today Hols, see you at lunch. The guys and I will probably just grab an apple or something from the orchard so we won't be coming to the hut for food."

"Okay, be careful today. Don't want to see you hurt. Love you!"

"Love you more" I hear as I shut the door and head to the homestead bathrooms. When I arrive at the homestead I find it abandoned. That's weird, there's always at least one person in here. I shrug it off and go to the bathroom. When I come out of the toilet I see Olivia wandering around with a puzzled look on her face.

Hey Liv what's wrong?

Where is everyone? I woke up in a hammock over there. I've been walking around for ages but I can't see anyone. Have you seen anyone?

No, just Gally. I left him to go back to sleep in our hut.

I don't like this one bit Hols.

Me neither, let's go back to my hut and check Gally is okay.

We practically run back to the hut shouting, no, screaming Gally's name.With every passing second that I don't hear a response my heart quickens and panic fills my brain. I barge through the door and all the tension pours out of me when I see Gally sitting up on the bed. Tears pour out of my eyes and I jump into Gally's arms. He wraps his arms strongly around me.

"Holly? Olivia? What's wrong?" I'm too busy crying and praying to god that Gally is okay.

Olivia you say it.

"It's so strange Gally,everyone is gone. I've looked everywhere and no one. Absolutely no one."

"Really? You've looked everywhere?"

"Yes, We're all alone."
