Stranded at an island. Bewildered and dazed. Confused thoughts and feelings. Everything they've been through they still find their way back to each other.

(They've all just gone to sleep after the fire)
Music: I recommend listening to 'Sometimes (Backwood) by gigi quietly in the background at one part of the chapter which I will point out when it gets to it. x

I laid on the dry, trodden sand next to the fire unable to get to sleep. I couldn't get the image of kiara's face out my head, when she looked at me while playing with my hair. Did she mean anything by it? God, I would kill for her to look at me that way just one more time.
I eventually gave up trying to get sleep and drowsily got up to my feet. I looked around the fire to see everyone fast asleep, apart from Kie. Where was she? I anxiously looked around to see if I could spot her anywhere. It did not take me long until I could see her. She was sitting quite a wee while from the fire, by the shore. The crash of the waves barely touching her toes. Her knees were tucked in against her chest with her head resting on them. I quickly but quietly made my way, away from the fire and towards Kiara.
As I got closer I could hear her lightly sobbing. I kept walking closer and then heard a crack from beneath me feat. I looked down to see that I had snapped a stick with my foot. It must've have been pretty loud because Kiara whipped her head round swiftly to see where the noise had come from.

I whipped me head around swiftly to see where the noise had came from and sure enough there was JJ Maybank standing above me, looking down at me with a concerned look. Great.
'Why are you hear JJ?' I said sternly. Aggressively wiping away the salty tears off my cheeks. I heard him step back a little with disappointment and humiliation at these words. I didn't meant to be so rude but I was embarrassed he had caught me crying to myself.
'Sorry.' He said speedily. Embarrassed by his presence, he went to turn back to walk away.
'No. No. It's fine.' I quickly said, regretting the choice of tone I had used. 'You can sit if you like.'
(music part: 'Sometimes (backwood)' by gigi quietly)
JJ turned back around to sit down. He sat down beside me staring intently into the sea.
There was a few minutes of akward silence before one of us said something.
'Do you mind if I ask you what's wrong?' JJ says in a soft tone, looking at me.
I took a deep breath. 'Everything is just so fucked up at the moment. You know? I just ruined my whole relationship with me parents, we all just almost got killed and now we're stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere!' I said trying not to burst into tears.
JJ looked at me sorrowfully but understandingly. He said nothing. He put his arm round me and rubbed my shoulder comfortingly as I started to tear up again. I felt so safe and reassured with his arm around me. I rested my head onto his shoulder and he rested his head on my head. Tight in each other's soft grip we sobbed looking out at the sparkling reflection of the stars on the sea. Being in his company made me feel so much better.
After a while of just silently sitting there sobbing. JJ giggles and points out his finger at something at the shore of the sand.
'Look, Kie! Its a baby turtle, your favourite!' He says excitedly.
'Oh yeah!' I say, also giggling.
I look up to him smiling. He smiles back. We where locked in each others eyes, unable to break contact.
He stares into my eyes and then down into my lips. I got butterflies.
I looked down into his lips and we booth leaned in to make them touch. They were about a millimetre away from touching before I felt this rush off guilt shoot into me. I pulled away. Damn it! But I just couldn't hurt Pope like this, his heart is too pure and it would break it, if I did that.
'Maybe we should think about getting some sleep.' I said awkwardly as I pulled away from JJ's grip.
'Oh yes, we probably should.' Said JJ completely humiliated.
We got up and walked back to the fire in complete awkward silence and both laid back down by the fire to get to sleep.
Shit. Did I just almost kiss JJ Maybank?!
(JJs Pov)
Shit. Did I just almost kiss Kiara Carrera?!
Hope you enjoyed this chapter will be putting out another chapter tomrrow! x
