The Wave

Chapter 8

I stumbled through the foggy water. I was so tired. I let myself sit down on a tree turned on its side. 

Liam is going to kill me. 

My intention was to walk for a little bit and look for Abby, Harry, and Niall, but I had lost track of time and now I didn't know where I was. Great. Just perfect. 

I turned around and decided it was best to start walking in the direction I was coming from. I huffed as I dragged my body through the rubble. This was going to be hard. 

Right when I was about to start calling Liams's name, I heard a soft cry a few feet away from me. It wasen't a cry for help, but a sad cry. I hurried to the noise, hoping I could help. 

"Hello? Hello?" I said softly. 

The noise suddenly went quite. I panicked because I started thinking the worse.

"Hello!!! I'm here to help you! Please answer!" I shouted as I dug through the mess looking for the person. 

"I.....I'm here!" 

My head shot up and turned to the left. I saw a mass of dirty, blond hair. The person was under a pile of junk, waving their hands in the air to get my attention. 

I hurried as fast as my injured body would let me and started pulling things off the stranger. 

"It's ok! You're ok! I'm going to get this stuff off of you." I cooed as my hands threw garbage every which way. 

The person, who's face was still covered, started to breath more evenly. My heart rate went down after being so worried. 

"C-c-can we talk a little?" He asked me. 

"Yes! Yes of course! My name's Charlotte, though a lot of people call me Char or Charlie!" 

The boy became silent again. He mumbled something I couldn't hear.

"What?"

"I said I came here with a Charlotte. Her and a group of my friends where here for a vacation."

I suddenly stopped pulling off the debris. Could it be? 

"Niall?" I barley whispered. I wasen't even sure he heard it until,

"CHARLIE!!!" 

"NIALL!!!!! Oh my god Niall it's you!" 

I quickly resumed to getting the junk off of him and in a matter of minutes I could see his face. 

I pulled Niall into a hug and started to sob. He gripped the back of my shirt and pulled my close. 

"I thought you were dead!" I cried!

"I thought the same about you! What about everyone else?"

"I found Liam...and thought you were with Abby and Harry." I pulled my head from the crook of his neck and gazed into his blue eyes. 

"No...I haven't seen them." 

Just then, a call rung out from the distance. 

"Charlotte! CHARLOTTE!" 

I recognized the voice in an instant. It was Liam!

"Liam! LIAM I'M HERE! I'M HERE WITH NIALL!" 

As soon as he heard Liam's name, Niall started to yell too. 

"LIAM! LIAM!"

Soon after, Liam had joined us along with a few other people who had survived the wave. Niall and I were helped onto a jeep and drove to a hospital. Liam pulled me aside when we arrived and whispered in my ear. 

"Charlie, there is someone here who wants to see you." 

My heart started beating fast as we scurried down one of the many halls and to a bed covered by a curtain. 

After Liam pulled back the drape, I couldn't believe my eyes.
