Laura's pov

Its been 3 days since the death of Cody. Nobody has really done anything since then. Its officially been 2 months since weve been here. Everybody has given up on thinking we would be saved. Except Ross anyway. Speaking of Ross, he hasnt let me leave his side. Hes not taking any chances after what happened with Cody, if I thought he was overprotective before, I was wrong. But I dont mind, I kinda like it. Noone has been the same. Rydel, Rocky, and Riker haven't really been speaking. Raini hasn't been picking on Calum as much. Like she doesnt have the motivation to do it anymore. Calum hasnt been his usual dorky self. Its kind of scary to see him like this. Were running out of food. Were too scared to eat any of the berries that we found, not taking any chances of them being poisonous. Ross still has a little hope left. Hes on the edge of losing it though, like the rest of us already have. He has me glued to his side. Everytime I try to go somewhere without him, he pulls me back, and without saying anything, walks with me. As for me, I haven't really been talking. The last time I talked was last night. Its about 6 now. I havent been eating or drinking either. There is no point. Noone is going to find us here. Were stuck. Ross has been worried about me, saying that he was gonna shove the food down my throat. My voice is practically gone. I have no use for it anymore. Like Ive lost it. I dont have anything to say. So whats the point? I just stopped.

Rydel's pov

Its been 2 months. 2 freakin months since weve been trapped here. Everyone's losing hope. I know I have. Noone is really doing anything anymore. Ross has been worried sick about Laur. Hes not even letting her leave his side. She went to go outside to look at the water for a second, and he got all mad, and yelled at her. There is no point of really trying anything anymore, noone is going to find us. Were all losing it. Especially Laura. Its getting to her. Its too much for her. She hasnt been speaking, eating, or doing anything for that matter. Which is making Ross lose it. Since he was the only one that still had any hope, seeing him lose it, is making the rest of us lose it too. Were probably going to run out of food tomorrow. I miss my family. I miss seeing everyone being so happy. I cant believe I'm going to say this, but I even miss Brooke and Cody.

Ross' pov

Laura is really worrying me. She hasnt been eating or talking. Shes losing it. Shes making me lose it just seeing her like this. She doesn't deserve to go through this. Especially not alone. She wont let anyone in. It hurts knowing that she wont even talk to me.

Interrupting me from my thoughts, she suddenly runs out of the fort in tears. I know she wants to be alone, but I cant let her be by herself, not in the state shes in. I run after her and see her in the water, gripping her head.

Shes crying even harder now.

I go up to her, just pulling her to me. Wrapping her in my arms, I realize how fragile she is right now. Any wrong move and she'll break all over again. It kills me seeing her like this. I try to make her laugh, sometimes it works, and others it doesnt. We havent been to the waterfall for so long. Im thinking of taking her there, just for a new environment.

Ross: *pulls back, still hugging Laura* Lets go to the waterfall together, just you and me, get your mind off things, it hurts Laura. Seeing you upset. It hurts so freakin much, Laur.

She just nods looking at me with her big brown eyes. I hate how she isnt talking anymore. I miss her soft voice. It kept me grounded. She hasn't been talking for about 3 weeks now. The only thing she has said since then was no, that was last night. And that was only for telling us she didnt want food, since we were practically shoving it down her throat. She thinks that counts as talking, well guess what? It doesnt. She promised me she wouldnt starve herself, that she would eat. But she hasnt been, and its scaring me. She hasnt been eating for a while now.
