Stranded (The Wilds)

two

The six of them walked along the shore, Madison walked behind DJ. Whilst Josh and Ivan walked together behind her.

She was lost in her thoughts, she couldn't process the fact that she was literally stranded on an island with nine boys. It hasn't yet settled in that she was stuck here till further notice.

Rescue was bound to come soon, right? They had to know a plane had crashed with a bunch of teenagers on it. But something also felt off about this whole thing, she couldn't even see the plane in the ocean, and where was the pilot? Or the guy who had brought out the cake? A lot of this didn't make much sense to her, but she didn't voice that knowing it sounded crazy because, why would anybody plan a plane crash? Which didn't make sense.

Madison was snapped out of her thoughts by DJ and his weird fucking words, "Fuck a duck!" He yelled in pain.

"Fuck a duck? Seriously?" She asked with her eyebrows frowned.

"I bet his toe is broken." She heard Josh say from behind her, "have you ever broken a bone? I broke my arm in the fourth grade, and I didn't have many friends then. So, I forged a whole lot of signatures on there, my therapist says it's a foundational wound."  Josh explains, Madison turns around and gives him a look of sympathy.

Madison walks up to them and puts her hand on Josh's shoulder, "should we go help him?" She asks, gesturing towards DJ who was still struggling to get up the rock.

Ivan sighs and turns to look at DJ, "probably." But they were all yet to make a move to help.

"Who kicks a rock anyway?" Madison questioned his stupidity instead of helping, "like who would think that would end well? Obviously you are going to get hurt."

"Stupid bitches, will be stupid bitches." Ivan told Madison.

"Ah, ah, damn it! Take five!" DJ yelled out again falling slightly as he did so.

"Yeah, okay, let's go help." Madison said as the three of them went to help him up to where Seth was, as he and Raf pulled him up.

"I know it's just a toe." DJ said as they finally got him up onto where Seth and Raf were standing. "And if I were with the others right now, that steak-head triple-didge would be calling me a pussy."

Madison laughed at that, "most likely." She agreed.

As Seth said, "You used triple-didge." Putting his hand to his chest acting touched that DJ used his saying.

"Yeah, it's good, it's catchy," DJ told him while laughing.

Madison rolled her eyes at the stupid word, "each to their own, I guess." She said to nobody in particular.

"You got anything in your medicine cabinet for this?" Ivan asked Josh.

"Oh, my god. Yeah, I have everything for this." He told them, "Are you on Team Ibuprofen or Team Acetaminophen?" Josh asked DJ.

"Uh, both."

"Yeah, man. I mean, look, if you want to head back, you can. Nobody needs to be a hero." Seth told him.

Madison nodded in agreement, "Yeah, you should." She also told DJ, "you'd probably only slow us down anyway."

"Are you serious? I mean, yeah, I'd only be slowing you guys down." He agreed with what Madison had told him.
