Payton's POV

   I woke up to someone screaming my name and shaking my shoulders. As much as I hated opening my eyes I had too because something serious must be happening. Once I opened my eyes I was blinded by the scorching sun.

Everything seemed humid and dry. I looked up and I was greeted by Harry's face. His eyes were full of happiness and delight. Why would he be so happy at this god forsaken hour? Even though it was probly around nine or ten in the morning.

"Payton! Payton wake up!" he screamed while he was smiling

"What?" I said squinting my eyes since I wasn't quite used to the sun shinning into my eyes as soon as I wake up

"I think they are comming for us!" He said looking happy as can be

"What? How do you know?" I asked confused but excited

" I went out to the plane and used one of his gadget thingies to call the airport!" he said screaming and laughing

"Oh my goodness!" I screamed as I sat up hugging him

I don't know why I hugged him, it just seemed right. But as soon as my arms wrapped around him it  sent chills up my spine as his hand trailed up my back to hug me back. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever. The world could come to an end and we would never notice. I felt complete like I had found my missing piece.

"U-um I better start looking for the others" I said ackwardly

"Be careful" he whispered as I walked away to the other side of the bay

I started to walk into the forest and for once I realized how beautiful this place was. There was flowers, trees that were so high they looked like they touched the clouds, and there were literally butterflies everywhere. I was looking around when I started to hear people's voices. I was so overwhelmed.. I guess it was because I knew that there were people other than Harry and I .

Wanting to get there faster I started to run. As I was running I jumped over small rocks and fallen trees and logs. I was so happy. I felt almost free with my  hairblowing in the wind and the sun on my cheeks. I breathed in only to smell the sweet flowers.

Once I got to the edge I stopped running not wanting to startle them. I hid behind a tree and stuck my head out so I could see them. When I looked I was shocked. Most of them were crying. I regonized some of the people but not all of them. They must be the people from the other half of the plane.

As I was looking I saw the kids from my school group. They were so injured. Then I heard a scream. I looked around frantically wondering if anyone  had seen me ,but everyone started running off into a different direction. It was so weird. I stepped out behing my tree and started jogging where they all ran off too.

Once I got to the spot where they had ran off to I saw the other half of the plane. It looked so much worse than ours. I ran to the little huddle of people that had surrounded one of the plane wings. I pushed my way through only to be completely shocked. Jake had been trapped under one of the wings.

"Jake!" I said now crying and kneeling down next to him

"Heyy don't cry I am going to be fine" he said slowly with a raspy voice

"Please don't die Jake please" I begged with tears spilling onto my cheeks and I brushed his blood caked hair off of his forehead.

"Shhh" he whispered as he brushed the tears of of my cheek

Then his eyes started to close. No I couln't let him die. I started screaming his name and shaking him furiously. He was like one of my brothers I couldn't just let him go.
