Return To Paradise

'How long does this last. We have lost Rome and who knows if he found Brielle. I'm scared, hurt, orsons hurt..' trees falling down around them, Miley screamed out in fear. Orson holding her tight, he let his tears fall just like Miley. 'my parents, my life..' 'we are going to die out here'.
'we are surrounded..' all four hoping and praying for the best outcome, worry and sadness also took its toll. None of them have ever experienced weather like this.
"You need to let go.." "no. It has a kit in it. You should've stayed with them.." "I'm not leaving you on your own. Plus I need your smarts" "I'm not smart.." Rome held Brielle tight "oh you are. Whatever others have instilled in you, is a lie. We are going to get out of this and they are going to find us and I'm taking you to the formal" "what?" Rome grinned while putting his forehead on brielle's "I am. I need a partner and you're my last and only choice" "I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not" Rome let a small laugh slip. "Take it as a compliment. Tell me, what's your favourite colour?" "Bahaman" "a blue?" "Yeah. You?" "Cardinal" "not green huh?" "Why did you ask that?" "Your eyes are green" Rome grinned "your eyes aren't bahaman. More like electric blue" "how electrifying" "you are.." "no" "denial. That's all that is. It's rare to see a woman with electric blue eyes and dark brown hair especially with a few cute freckles" "oh my god" Rome chuckled as Brielle put her head down. "the heats getting to you" "only making me hotter right?" "Could I be stuck with someone else?" Rome chuckled. Distractions making them relax, both of them blocked out what was happening around them while Orson and Miley were freaking out. 'this has to stop. It has to'.

Waking up huddled together, Brielle looked around. 'we are enclosed in..' "Rome" "hmm.. sleep" "Rome, we have to try to get out. There is wood everywhere" Rome opened his eyes. 'NO' both were trying to get up, Brielle started to worry. "I can push you up.." "no.." "there is a gap. If I push you up, those branches will hopefully move. You are bleeding.." Rome put his hand on brielle's cheek "you too. Come on" Rome grabbed Brielle by her thighs and lifted her up. Pushing branches away, relief swept through Brielle. "We can climb out. We need to find Orson and Miley" Brielle nodded as Rome put her down. Lifting her suitcase, brielle threw it up and out over the fallen wood with help from Rome. Climbing out, Brielle looked at Rome and put her hand out. Grabbing her hand, Brielle pulled him up while Rome pushed off with his feet. Tumbling to the ground, Rome and Brielle groaned. "fuck.." "we need to keep going but.." "we are going" lifting themselves up, Brielle grabbed her case. "ORSON" "MILEY" "they went that way. Let's see if we can find them and help them" Brielle opened her case and grabbed her first aid kit. "That can stay here" Rome showed a gentle smile. Making their way through the wreckage of trees and shrugs, both of them were struggling but kept pushing forward. "MILEY AND ORSON?" "MILEY?" "ORSON?" "HELP.." Rome and Brielle hearing Orson, they moved as fast as they could. "ROME" "WE ARE COMING.." "MILEY?" "SHES OUT COLD.. BREATHING BUT NOT RESPONDING" fear ran through all of them while Orson tried getting to her. "ORSON?" "HERE" "shit.." Brielle dropped her first aid kit and helped Rome. Both ripping their hands open to save Orson and Miley, none of them paid attention. 'COME ON.. MOVE' pulling as hard as they can, brielles eyes watered when the log finally moved. "Orson and Miley" "she's trapped.." "let's do all we can. The island is destroyed. We are lucky" all three using the last of their strength to remove the wood from Miley, Rome and Orson picked her up. "We need to get to flat ground. Try to wake her. Help each other" "you two.." "yeah" 'this has only made things harder for all of us' Brielle picked up her first aid kit and walked behind Orson and Rome. 'im bleeding, they are bleeding, Miley's out cold and this place is a mess. We survived but any longer and I don't think we would've made it'. Reaching the sand, all three looked at the destruction of the island. 'it's an absolute mess. I'm surprised we made it through' both guys lowering Miley to the wet sand near the water, Brielle opened her first aid kit. 'A medicine cup? Water' Brielle rushed to the water and grabbed some. Ugh. Hands hold more' filling her hands, Brielle walked back and ran it over Miley's face. "Huh.." "Miley" "we.." Miley instantly broke down "we made it Miley..." "You did so well" Brielle knelt down knowing her leg was sore and tended to orsons wounds 'shes hurting and here she is helping me. My back, neck, arm and head' "you need to fix yourself" "it's a bit of blood" "and your leg" Brielle looked at Orson. 'a bit of blood? It's a head injury' "my leg is fine" "she's lying..." "Rome we need to stop the blood. I'm still walking" 'shes worrying about everyone besides herself' finishing helping Orson, Brielle looked at Rome as he was helping Miley. 'i guess I clean myself up. Especially my head' hearing Miley gasp, Brielle immediately looked at her way "YOUR LEG.." Rome and Orson instantly turned their attention to Brielle. "NO" Brielle looked down and Inhaled a deep breath 'thats deep. That's when the tree fell' Brielle grabbed the saline and straightened her leg. Washing the wound out, while holding In her pain, Rome swallowed hard. "That needs to be closed up" "we have nothing" "CLOTHES" "my suitcase. Are you three.." "not alone. We do this together" Orson put his hand out and Brielle grabbed it. "Thanks" "Rome.." "it's a small cut. It would only need a band-aid" "then do it. We don't need anyone getting infections" 'that will' all four slowly walking back off of the sand, Rome kept his eyes on brielle's leg. 'thats not good' "have we still got contact with the outside world. They need to get here" "I don't know" reaching her suit case, Rome didn't hesitate to grab one of her shirts and wrapped her leg tight. "hopefully that helps for now" "thanks. My phone is in the zipped up compartment" Rome grabbed the phone out. With hope Brielle turned it on.
'three messages'

Dad - brielle a hurricane is out there. You need to find cover. Please tell me you are safe
Dad - please let us know if you four are okay. We can't move right now. We are doing all we can sweetheart. I promise we will do everything in our power to get you four home
Dad - I know you don't have your phone on and it's low I just hope you four are okay. Please if you get this, reply so we have some communication. I love you. All of the parents say pass on their love.
- dad, it hit us. It's torn the island apart. All of us have injuries. I only have one percent left. We don't know how long we can continue or if we can rebuild. All of us are still alive and hoping for the best.
"Messages got one?" "Find us. We want to come home" "we love them and miss them immensely" "what he said".
- Orson, Miley and Rome have asked to pass on that they are praying we are found and they love and miss their families immensely. This may be our last communication and with that I need to say that I love you. I always have X
Brielle sent the message. As soon as it sent her phone brought up the shut down screen. "That's it. It's all we had" Miley, Rome and Orson let their tears fall. 'we need to go back to our camp. We all need water, a bath, food.. nothing there is going to be usable' no one speaking a word, Brielle packed up her suitcase and walked with everyone back to their camp area. "the wood.. it's held together" 'the suitcase. It's still tied to the tree but closed..' everyone feeling lost and worried, silence filled the air. Brielle walked over to the case and ripped it open. "Water.. we have water" Orson, Miley and Rome rushed to the suitcase and started to drink the water. 'i have needed this. We all have'.
