"What do you think's gonna happen to us?" I ask Niall as we're sat on the warm sand. He takes my hand in his and intertwines our fingers.
"I don't know." he answers. "I guess it doesn't matter though. As long as you're here with me it's okay. I'm just worried about our parents. Where do you think they are?"
"I don't know, but I hope that wherever they are, they're safe and okay." I say. "Do you really think we'll have to stay here forever?" I ask.
"No. Not forever. Just for a little while, I hope." he says.
*Two Weeks Later*
"No one's coming to find us. It's official. We're gonna be stuck here forever. Or until we die. Whichever comes first!" Eleanor says.
"Guys, if we are going to stay here until we die, or forever, or whichever comes first, we've got to try to make the best of it. We're on this beautiful island, and it's not like we're alone. We've got each other at least. And I don't know about you, but I'm not going to spend my time walking around here moping about never being rescued like a twat." Louis says.
And it was in that moment that we all agreed. For the next couple of days, we built things. We built a little hut/ house, we got a schedule, and found a source of freshwater nearby. We are going to have to survive; and we're not going to be able to do that if we just sit and do nothing all day.
.............................
"I'm going to go take a shower." I tell Olivia. Well, techincally it's not a shower. It's a waterfall that flows into a pond, but we use it to take showers.
"Okay." she says and then lies down on her 'bed' which is made of soft, green moss, a blanket, and a pillow."
I grab a towel, and the soap that Zayn made out of some sort of plant, and then head to take my bath.
What if we really are going to stay here forever? No, you have to stop thinking about that. Stop thinking about what could or couldn't happen in the future. You're here with Olivia and Niall, so it's not all bad. Plus, you've started to make friends with the other guys, except Harry who just gives you funny looks all the time, but otherwise doesn't say a word around you. Everything will be fine.
I've taken to talking to myself quite a lot recently. It helps keep me sane and it's nice to just think things over sometimes.
Once I get to the waterfall, I strip off my clothes, wash them, and then hang them on a branch to dry. I test the water by dipping a single toe in the water, finding that it's pretty warm. I dive in and swim over to the waterfall and stand underneath it, letting the rushing water rinse all the dirt from my skin.
I'm rinsing my hair when I hear a whistle. I open my eyes to find Harry standing there, his arms crossed over his bare chest.
"What the fuck are you doing?! Just watching me bathe are you?" I ask, not paying attention to him. I don't care that he's seeing me naked right now. He want's a reaction from me.
"You know, without clothes on, you're pretty hot." he says, scanning my body up and down. I dive back into the water and swim to the edge, right in front of Harry.
"Mind getting me my towel?" I ask in an overly sweet, yet sarcastic voice. He smirks at me and retrieves it, dangling it in front of my face.
"Nu-uh. You're gonna have to come out here and get it." he says, an evil grin on his face. I glare at him.
"Fine." I say before I climb out of the water and stand right in front of him, I notice him trying, but not succeeding to keep his eyes on mine instead of on my body. "Eyes up here buddy." I tease and then take my towel from his hands and wrap it around myself.
I grab my clothes which are now dry and start walking away.
"Oh and, close your mouth. You'll catch flies." I say before I continue back to the hut, feeling triumphant.
"She lives! Where have you been?" Eleanor asks me as I walk inside.
"I just wen to take a bath." I say.
"Okay, something happened. You look...like you just won a trophy or something." Olivia says and then laughs.
I retell tell the whole story for them and by the end, we're all laughing hysterically. I change into my clothes that are warm because of being set out in the sun for a while.
.........................
"Okay, Lilli, you and Niall go look for some more food. Stay together and be back before dark." Liam instructs as he hands everyone a walkie talkie.
"Okay."
"And stay within range. We don't need anyone getting lost." he says. I can't help but laugh a little. Liam is definitely the daddy in this group. He can be strict at times, but it's because of him that we've survived this long.
"It's okay, Dad! We'll be fine." I say and then laugh as I give him a kiss on the cheek. I notice Harry fuming.
"Okay, Niall, Lilli, and Harry go together. Olivia and Zayn go together. And Eleanor, Lou, and I will go together." Liam instructs.
Great. Now I have to be stuck with Harry. Atleast I've got Niall with me and I know he won't let Harry try anything when he's around.
Olivia doesn't seem to be so settled about splitting up like this, so I give her a hug, a gentle squeeze of the hand, and a kiss on the cheek.
"We'll be fine. Don't worry. Just...stay with Zayn. He won't let anything happen to you." I say and Zayn winks playfully at me.
"Well, let's get going." Niall says as he takes my hand, Harry dragging along behind us.
We're walking for a while when Niall spots some banannas up in a tree.
"Harry, can you hold this while I go get them?" he asks.
"Why don't you ask the little bitch here to hold it?"
"WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM?!" I yell at him. Niall just sets down his backpack and starts climbing up the tree, leaving Harry and I alone.
"You wanna know what's my problem," he growls. "It's you!"
"Me!? What the hell did I ever do to you?!" I yell.
"You just don't get it do you?" he says, his voice softer.
"Don't get what?"
"I like you, okay?! I really like you! And it annoys the heck outta me because you hate me even though I know that I made you hate me! I should've just stopped being a little scaredy cat and just talked to you! Since that first day I knew I wanted you to be mine and yet I pushed you away!" he yells.
