Stranded with Louis Tomlinson

Chapter Nineteen

Amber's P.O.V.

I was pulled under and Louis wasn't near me. I fought my way through the water until I surfaced. Gasping for air, I looked around for Louis. "Louis!" I yelled. Another wave crashed against me and I went under again. I held my breath. My lungs burned and felt like they were going to explode. I got back up again. Less than a second after I was up again, I was pushed under by another wave. I just wanted to give up. Using the very last of my energy, I clawed my way up to the surface. I coughed and gasped.

"Louis!"

Nothing.

I looked behind me. The island was no longer in view.

Just when I'd given up hope, I saw the helicopter above me.

A man in a wet suit jumped into the water. He made sure I didn't go under and he put me in a basket that was attatched to a rope that led up to the helicopter.

This had to be a dream. I felt somebody pull me into the helicopter. The basket was lowered and the guy in the wet suit climbed in. He was brought back up to the helicopter. The man who brought me up in the basket wrapped a blanket around me.

"Louis," I said. "What was that? I'm sorry. I couldn't understand you," said the guy in the wet suit. "Louis!" I said. "We have to go get him! He's still down there!" I said.

I thought about Louis slipping under the surface, and I blacked out.

I woke up in a hospital room. I looked at the IV in my hand and listened to a nurse speaking a language I didn't understand.

Louis? Where's Louis?

An attractive doctor with blond hair and blue eyes walked into my room and took the chair next to my bed. "Hi. I'm Dr. Johnson. You're in Sri Lanka. You're vitals look good. You've been asleep for a few hours. How do you feel?" he said. "Thirsty and tired," I said.

Another bed was wheeled in next to mine, and then I realized who it was.

"Louis!" I yelled. He smiled. I laughed and started to cry happy tears. "You're alive!" I said. He laughed and said, "Well obviously."

"You two know each other?" Dr. Johnson asked. "We were stranded together, on the island," I explained. "Stranded?" Dr. Johnson raised his eyebrows. "For two years. We just got rescued in a helicopter," Louis said. "Wait, are you Louis Tomlinson and Amber-" Louis and I cut him off by nodding. He stared at us in amazement. "The whole world thought everybody died in that plane crash," Dr. Johnson said. "Can I use the phone?" Louis asked. "I can't wait to hear what people say when they find out it's me on the other end of the phone," Louis grinned.
