~Kiara's pov~

Life sucks.

Why? Because good people have nothing and evil people have everything. For example, we had the gold, the evil people took it, we had the cross, it was taken away. And now we're in the middle of nowhere on island while the evil people are probably on their expensive boats relaxing.

The first few days on the island were good. We had what to eat and drink, we surfed all day or we just relaxed.

But now we don't even know how much food we have left. Plus it's getting harder and harder to find it.

The nights are the worst. We have to stay next to each other in front of a campfire to warm up.

I don't even know if I want to go back home. My parents probably hate me and they'll send me away. But I also don't want to stay here. No one wants.
No one's fine here. John B is always with Sarah to comfort her when she's crying, and it's happening often. But I understand her. I mean her dad tried to kill her. Pope doesn't talk about his parents but he's definitely worried. I don't know what to think about Cleo or JJ. Cleo relaxes all day but I think she's actually worried too. But JJ... Well he's like always. I think. He doesn't seem worried about anything.

We've been here for 5 days. Approximately, I lost the count some time ago and started again. We tried to build a raft. It didn't work. The first wave sank it. Now we have nothing again. Well we try to make another raft but we have a lot to work on it.

As I said. Life sucks.

"Kie, a little bit of help please" said JJ trying to tie two big pieces of wood.

"Oh yeah, sorry" I said holding tightly the pieces of wood to each other so that JJ can tie them.

"What were you thinking of?" He asked.

"Nothing important. Are you sure he won't fall on me in the middle of the night?" I said trying to change the subject.

"Of course. This is the best one I've made" He said proudly.

"How many shelters did you make?" I asked.

"Two" he said.

"Where are the others?"

"Cleo and Pope are making roofs for the shelters we make and Sarah and John B are looking for food" He said.

,,The sun begins to go, down. We must return until it gets dark" I said.

We have a system. We never get too far away from the campfire. And if we do, we go with someone.

We both grabbed the shelter. We were going to put it with the other shelter near to the campfire.

When I got at the campfire it was almost completely dark. Everyone else was standing next to the fire. They ate the fish that John B and Sarah found.

"We kept fish for you two" Sarah said quietly.

Her eyes were red which mean she cried again.

After we finished the food we got in the shelters. John B, Pope and JJ will sleep in the first shelter. Me, Cleo and Sarah in the second. Honestly I still don't think the shelters will last long but it's better than nothing.

Sleeping was hard. And I don't mean the conditions, which are terrible, I mean the nightmares. I used to dream my parents. They were mad at me. Fortunately that only lasted a few nights. It's been a while since I haven't had a nightmare.

When I woke up the sun wasn't up yet. Everyone was asleep. I couldn't fall asleep anymore.

I got up and headed to the ocean. One of the waves broke and splashed my feet with water. It was cold. I stood there looking at the ocean. I was planning to do nothing. Just watching.

It didn't work.

I started thinking about what was going to happen with us. What if no one will find us? If we go back what will my parents think of me? Will they forgive me? Will they hate me? Will they send me away from home?

I felt a tear falling on my cheek. Then another one, and another one. I couldn't stop them. It doesn't matter. No one can see me anyway.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my back. I quickly wiped away my tears.

"I knew you were going to be here" the voice said.

"JJ? What are you doing here?" I asked turning towards him.

"I couldn't sleep. Are you okay?" He asked sitting next to me.

"Yes. I couldn't sleep either" I answered looking back at the ocean.

We sit there in silence for a while just looking at the ocean.

I suddenly heard a groan followed by a silent "shit".

I turned around looking at JJ trying to get up. He was holding his head with a hand while the other one was against a stone, trying to regain his balance.

I quickly got up from the sand and grabbed his arm trying to help him regain his balance.

"What's going on?" I asked worried.

"I just lost my balance. No big deal" he said regaining his balance.

"No big deal? What if you have a brain demage or a concussion?" I snapped still holding his arm.

"Kie, I'm fine" he assured me.

"No you're not fine. What happend is not fine" I said panicking.

He hold my arms trying to make me calm down.

"I'm so sorry. It's my fault you got hit" I started saying but he stopped me.

"It's not your fault Kie. I'd rather be me the one who's hurt, not you" he said.

I didn't know what to tell him. I put my hands around his neck, pulling him into a hug.

"I though I lost you" I whispered.

"You saved me, Kie. I wouldn't be here without you" he said.

After a few seconds, which seemed like hours, JJ spoke, breaking the hug.

,,I was about to bury John B in the sand" He said with a big, proud smile.

I couldn't help but laugh.

,,So what do you say? Are we turning John B into a sand mermaid?" He asked pointing with his head to John b who was asleep.

,,I don't know. I'm pretty tired and he'll wake up for sure" I said.

,,Oh come on" he said.

,,Fine. But if he'll wake up you have to do my work tomorrow" I said.

,,Okay, but if he won't wake up you have to do my work tomorrow"

,,Be ready to lose" I said.
