Stranded

Chapter 46: The Yellow-Brick Road (Part 1)

I cannot believe that this will soon be over and my heart is literally aching and I feel like crying.

It's been years. I am kinda relieved that I will be starting new stories soon but I am sad too, because my baby is gonna be over soon.

The start of this fanfic (plus a few other parts) was carroty. I'm sorry. Either I wrote that when I was 14 or maybe I was just being cheesy.

Enough with the drama and rambling. Sorry for the long A/N. Here you go.

Louis' POV

I opened my eyes and found myself inside an unfamiliar house. I had to blink for a few times because my vision was blurry and I am still quite dizzy. Why am I feeling like this?

I looked around and realized that I am inside a big house. There were certificates and a few pictures hanging on one wall. There are a few couches, which all look very comfy and homey. The atnosphere is very welcoming that although I am very sure I've never been here until now, I felt as if I've lived here since forever.

"He's awake now." My eyes went where the voice came from. There, I saw a man smiling widely at me, his eyes shining as if he knows something I don't know.

The lads and the girls entered the living room with an old woman, who I suppose is the old man's wife. He put his arm around her and kissed her forehead.

Rae immediately ran to me, putting her arms around me. This time, I know that I am in a dream. I am fully aware that this is not reality. And seemingly, I can control myself.

I hugged Rae back with all my might. My, she's tense. She must have been so worried. I rubbed her back until she calmed down and made her sit beside me.

"What happened?" I asked. The last thing I remember of what happened before I woke up is seeing the house. There must have been a time jump or something.

"You fainted." The old man has a British accent. They must be a couple who just fell in love with the island and decided to stay. But how could they love the island if there are man-worshipping women roaming around?

"It must have been because of your foot injury. But don't worry, I treated your wound already." The sweet old woman said, smiling. "Thank you, ma'am."

"Remind me to take my studies seriously when we get back to UK so I'd know what to do in case.." Rae mumbled, trailing off. I find it cute when she does that. I'm sure the old couple noticed too because of the way they look at her.

"In what country does this island belong, sir?" They obviously know what the goings-on are so I took the opportunity to ask questions. "You are in Greece. South-west to be exact."

Greece. Wow. That's a long way from UK. But of course, anything is possible in a dream.

"Louis hasn't eaten since breakfast." Rae said, alarmed. I put my hand over hers to calm her. Niall, who noticed what I did, smirked.

"We've had lunch and dinner. You were unconscious and we couldn't wait. You should eat now." She said authoritatively, looking at me as if I am a stubborn little child.

Mr. Goodwill, the old man, help Rae get me to the kitchen since Mrs. Goodwill insisted I don't walk with my injured foot. Rae heated the food for me, served it and even stayed to accompany me. The old couple was there, but I need her and she knows that.

After I ate, Rae washed the plates for me, insisting that I am still incapable of doing it. Mr. Goodwill offered to tour me around the place, which I really could not decline. Good thing they already found me a crutch, or else he'd still be assisting me in walking.
