Stranded

Seven

Drew's POV

5 days, 5 long weird dreadful days we have been on this beach. All it took was about 3 for Trames to be real, all it took was about 4 for things to go a little wrong. I wonder how long it will take for things to be a disaster.

Aside from that yesterday was fun with Levi, we just messed around and let go. We talked a lot, made jokes, I guess we kinda caught up on things. Nether of us said who we liked my reason would be 'yeah I happen to like you and my best friend wanna date?' Yeah never going to happen. I'm kinda jealous of James he managed to help me but he didn't really realise his feelings for Tristan till I mentioned it then suddenly Brad's involved and next thing I know Trames is a thing. I wish it would be easy for me to date someone I guess it's kind of hard when you love two people, yeah I could just choose between the two of them. But I can't choose between Levi and Nate I'd rather die thanks. Yeah a bit too extreme, I'd rather them two date than me having to choose. At least they'd be happy together and if they're happy I could find a way to be happy for them. Hanging out with Levi made me fall more for him he has a way of charming me with out even realising it, even just by the way he laughs, his perfect teeth, the way he's always just being himself.

I'm lovestruck.

Sighing I stand up, "Nate come with me to find food?" I ask trying to do my puppy eyes, yeah only Nate and sometimes Levi can do it. He sighs and stands up, I grin and lead him into the woods. I have no idea where James, Tris and Austin found food last time but in all truth I just want to hang out with Nate by myself. If I have an excuse there'll probably more of a chance that he comes with me. I haven't talked to him in a while he's my best friend and I haven't had a proper conversation with him in over 5 days. "Where are you taking me exactly?" He asks from behind me, I snap out my thoughts. I wasn't even looking where I was going, oops. "To find food" I say

"There's some berries over there" he points out, I smile and pick them up.

"You can help ya know you don't have to follow me" I say with a smile, he shrugs

Once we had found a good amount of food to last us all a while we start heading back to the others, "how you finding life on the beach?" I ask him. I know rubbish question but I have to start a conversation somehow,

"Can we stop a minute?"he asks and I nod he puts the food in his hand down before leaning against the nearest tree, I put the food in my hands down as well before waiting on him. "What's actually happening just tell me I feel like I'm missing out on everything like people are keeping secrets from me I'm just really confused" he says

I never thought he would say that, I think for a moment. What is actually going on? "Well lil one, we went clubbing. We got drunk as hell I think you the most, that's all I remember from that night to be honest. When we woke up there was water everywhere only meaning we had driven into a lot of water, I guess that's how we found out that somehow we managed to drive into sea and not drown but It can't have been far seeing as we would have probably drown. The past few days have been weird for all of us, i have had mixed feelings. James and Tris getting together, all of us being stranded. I know you're confused but so are we, we're alone and scared but that's okay we have each other. " I explain " I don't think anyone's keeping secrets though" I finish, that was a complete lie

"I feel like it Drew, I feel like everyone's talking about me. Like there's something I'm not allowed to know, do you all hate me?" He asks sadly, quite the opposite buddy

"Why would we hate you Nate you've done nothing wrong, you're my best friend I could never hate you" I say especially if I'm in love with you..

"Sorry I've been going through a lot, I don't know what to think or feel" he says quietly, he continues but all I can think about is the way his lips move when he's talking. They're a little chapped from being out here, i guess everyone's is its hard being out here.

"Drew?"he asks snapping me out my trance once again, I blink and realise how close we are. He's blushing and somehow that makes me feel confident, like I'm in control. Then my lips are on his.

His eyes widen but nether the less he starts kissing back, it takes a lot of me not to push him up against this tree and deepen this. We suddenly pull away and my eyes widen at what we were just doing, all the confidence flies away. I have to admit he looks really hot like this, stop it Drew this is not the time.

His hair all fluffy, cheeks bright red, wide eyes looking at me with mixed emotions. "Nate I'm so sorry I don't know-" I start backing away, he shakes his head and I can see tears filling his beautiful eyes. I reach out to touch him but he moves and shakes his head again a stray tear falling

He starts running, I go after him calling his name but he stops me. "Just stop please Drew, just leave me alone"
Tears are now streaming down his face and I can feel myself tearing up as well, he lets out a sob before running off again. And I let him, I just watch him go.

I close my eyes letting out a sob of my own before falling onto my knees, I fucked up. I messed up everything we had. All because of one stupid kiss.

I feel someone wrap their arms around me, I don't even look who it is instead I just sob into their chest. "Shhh shh" I'm such an idiot. "Calm down you're going to make yourself sick"

I know that voice, it's James. I shake my head, how can I calm down after I've just lost my best friend? I just sit here and cry in his arms. For what seems like hours.

Eventually I calm down enough to breathe properly, that doesn't help the fact that I have a massive headache now.
"Can you tell me what happened?" James asks, I sniffle wiping my eyes.

"I k-kissed him Jay I k-kissed him" I whisper, he rubs my arm comfortingly

"But something must have happened if you're both crying hysterically" he says and I nod,

"We were talking and finding food, then he asked if he could rest so of course I said yes he told me somethings. Then asked why he felt so confused and stuff so I was there talking to him then I got so c-caught up staring at his lips that I didn't realise h-how close we were. Next thing I-i know we're k-kissing. He freaked out and I t-tried to help I-i did b-bur he told me to l-leave him a-alone" I explain tears still falling from my eyes

"I fucked up everything Jay but I liked it, I liked the kiss" I whimper, he shakes his head

"No no you haven't he's just as confused and scared as you are, give him time. He doesn't hate you no one does" he says reassuringly,

"I've ruined our friendship, I've ruined my chances with him, I've ruined everything that's years of friendship gone because of me" I cry, he shakes his head swaying us slightly

"I promise you Drew you two will be together and he doesn't hate you and you haven't ruined anything" he says, I wipe my face and force my self to calm down

"How do you know?" I ask him and he smirks

"Trust me I know" he says before standing up and helping me up, "now where's the food you found?" He asks and I chuckle

I lead to where me and Nate were before and show him the food still laying on the ground. He helps me carry them back to the others me trailing behind him, I really don't want to face everyone right now. I'm too embarrassed, I don't want to see how upset I made Nate it'll only make me feel worse. I think James gets the message because he stops just before we go out the entrance of the woods where they are, "stay here let me check something" he says before walking out,

I see him look around before  walking back over to me, "uh Nate's asleep if that's what you're worried about I doubt the boys know what's going on so you should be fine"he says and I smile a little

"Thanks James, a lot you're always here for me it means a lot" I say quietly, he smiles and leads the way. We walk out and the others look up at us, I bite my lip as I see Con holding Nate. Tear stains obvious on his cheeks, it must have took a lot out of him if he's managed to fall asleep so quickly. Levi and Austin are beside him while the others around a new made fire. I instantly feel like their all judging me, I take a deep breath as we put the foods in the corner. James pats my back "you'll be okay" he says

I can only hope so.
