Blondie

Adrift

I was still holding on to the metal trying to keep a float. I had been right next to the blast. My ears were ringing and I could barley see. "LYNN" I could tell it was Sawyer but my voice was so quite. "LYNN!" I yelled as loud as I could. "JAMES" I knew he would be more alert if I called him that because I never had. I could hear him yelling Mike over and over and I slowly started to move closer to the sound.

The sound stopped for a second and then I heard Michael yell about Walt. "LYNSEY" I heard Micheal yelling and I continued to move towards the sound. "LYNSEY" I was much closer now and could see them but I was weak. "Sawyer" I could see him turn and I moved on the metal. "Lynn" He grabbed my arm and pulled me as I pushed off the metal. He pulled me right on to part of the raft left. He looked at me and saw my cut lip and bruises. "You ok?" I looked at him holding his arm. "Better than you"

I looked around. I hadn't seen Jin and I'm guessing they didn't either. Sawyer started to yell his name. I tired once again to tune it out. They continued to argue. They started to argue about who's fault it was when the raft moved. It was something in the water. I pulled out my gun and so did Sawyer. They started to argue about Sawyers gun then he dropped it. "What the hell is that!" Michael asked.

"It's a shark" I opened my mouth in shock. They continued to argue. "You want me off this raft. You got it" Sawyer started to move the raft closer to another part of the bamboo. He fell into the water to move. It was stupid. But he was able to make it. I turned around and looked out into the distance. Sawyer and Micheal continued to taunt each other. I looked to see Sawyer touching his wound. "Are you crazy? You gonna take the bullet out with your bare hands?"

Sawyer looked back at him. "You got a better idea?" I looked back at him. "Ya, don't do it" Sawyer scoffed. "Your never going to be able to do it by yourself" Sawyer responded. "I thought we parted ways" I outsmarted him. "We're caught in the same current" I watched Sawyer try and take out the bullet but all that happened was him screaming. Sawyer continued to yell. The yelling stopped and Sawyer turned to Micheal. He was also shaking.

I felt bad but then again I did tell him not to do it. "You got a band-Aid?" I sighed at how stupid he was. It was quiet for a while. "It wasn't the flare... I said it wasn't the flare. It was those people. First I thought they were fishermen or pirates or something. Then I got a good like at their boat. You know anything about boats, Mike? Boat like that wasn't built for the open ocean. Waters coming over the side the first little squall. Maybe got a range of a hundred miles. Nope, a boat like that had to have left port from somewhere close"

I knew where he was going with this. "Like the island. French chick said the Others were coming for the kid. I think they came, Mike" Michael turned his head. "What?" Sawyer snapped back. "He's the one they wanted, why I got a bullet in my shoulder. Hell, Bluebeard blew us up because they wanted your kid" Micheal replied. "You saying this is my fault?" Sawyer nodded. "They took him because of you! They were sailing away!" Sawyer spoke up again.

"They found us because they were looking for us! For Walt!" Michael yelled at Sawyer. "Don't you ever say his name again! Ever!" Sawyer scoffed. "What are you going to do? Splash me?" And that's what Micheal did. Because of it Sawyers raft fell apart below him. He was floating in the water. He swam over and latched himself on to Micheals raft and turned to me. "Look I kno" I interrupted him. "Shut up. You have no idea how Micheals feeling because you've never had someone to care about. Never had a child taken from you. So shut your goddamn mouth"

It remained silent for a while. I turned and saw part of the raft. Sawyer was moving the raft over and they started to argue again. The raft collapsed under Sawyer again. I moved and grabbed his arm. "Climb on" He looked back at me. "I do and we all sink" I sighed and he turned back to me. "I'm going for the pontoon" I scoffed knowing it was a stupid idea. "Don't be an idiot" Micheal said when Sawyer handed him his gun. "You see that toothy son of a bitch, you aim and squeeze. Got it?" Micheal responded. "Got it"
