Stuck on an Island with One Direction

Chapter 23

Authors Note

Well I posted this chapter last night and for some reason its not showing up so I'm going to post it again and hopefully it works...

"Worse, I saw Richard." 

"WHAT!?" All four boys yelled at me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow if Zayn wasn't up before he would get up now.

"Guys its not that big of a deal." Oh, who I'm I kidding, getting spotted by Richard is a pretty big deal.

"What happened? Did he try to hurt you? Did he chase you? Is he still after you? Louis how could you let her go alone!" Niall was looking at Louis, and he looked like he didn't know what to say.

"I-I didn't even think about him still being out there. I'm really sorry Rose." Louis looked down at the sand looking sorry and embarrassed that I got hurt.

I hope that Louis wouldn't blame himself for the little gash on my arm, it was my fault that I was being stupid and clumsy.

"Louis its not your fault, and guys I'm fine, he didn't hurt me." 

"Why did you go out there without someone else?" 

"Well I was thirsty and all of you guys were sleeping except for Louis and he just got up so I didn't want to bother him." I told them half the truth, yes I was thirsty and yes, I didn't want to wake anyone else up, but I also needed time to just clear my head and think about a few things. 

"But when did you see Richard, did he just come out and attack you?" Liam's eyes got wide when he said that.

"No he didn't attack me. But I think you guys should wake up Zayn first because he's going to want to hear what happened. " 

When they finally got Zayn up I was ready to tell them what happened. I explained everything that happened from when I heard the call, to climbing the tree to look at his camp, and how I fell out and he had the machete, and then just booking it and he didn't chase me, all up until now.

"Wait so, so he didn't come off of the boat?" Zayn asked looking a bit confused with my explanation.

"I doubt that. He had a working phone and a camp already set up."

"And did he say something about this place being off limits?" Harry motion to the beach around us.

"It would explain why no one else is out here." I said already thinking about that before.

"Then why is he out here?" That was the part I didn't figure out.

"I have no idea." I told the boys that were looking expectantly at me.

I saw Niall's gaze drift from my eyes to the gash on my arm.

"Do you think that we should bandage that?" 

All of the guys started to look at my arm too.

"I don't think it's that bad," I said actually paying my scraped-up arm some attention. 

"Yeah but it could get infected, couldn't it?" Liam said looking worried.

Harry tore a little bit of cloth off of the shirt that he was wearing and handed it to me.

"Here you can bandage it with that."

"Thanks," I said taking the cloth from him and wrapping it around the gash on my arm.
