Last One Standing

Perfect Moment

Marika's POV:

We're all screaming, waving our hands, waving big sticks with fire on the end, but it's no use.
The light soon fades into the darkness of the ocean.
I sit down on the sand, breathless.
"What if that was our only chance.." I say to everyone, as they sit down as well.
"It's only been three days, they're look for us, I know it. I bet there are people out there right now looking for us." Shawn says.
"Hey Iliana, we missed Finance's birthday." I laugh a little.
"What?" Hayes questions.
"Our little sister's hamster. That thing's birthday was yesterday. Back at home.." I laugh awkwardly, beginning to make myself feel upset.
"This is our temporary home, just for now, before they find us. We will celebrate here. Now let's get off our asses, the sun is rising! Let's have a late party for that damn hamster!" Hayes jumps up, grabbing my hands and swinging me to my feet.
"How the hell are we suppose to party without beer or music?" Whitney asks.
"Let's get drunk from our thoughts, and music is made from the mind! From the mouth! Sing to your hearts content, bang a stick on a rock for God sake!" Jalyn preaches.
We all start dancing, laughing, singing, making beats with what we have, and for the first time on this island, I don't feel any problems. We will be found, and I have amazing people around me. Happy, fun, amazing people.
Hayes grabs my hand and pulls me close to him still dancing.
"Welcome to my house, baby take control now," he tries to sing like he's black, and I laugh at him.
We're all singing different songs at different pitches and it truly is the best worst sound I have ever heard.
He lightly pushes his fingers against my chin and makes me look at him.
He kisses me, and puts him hand on the arch of my back, sending chills up my spin.
He spins me around and we continue to dance to the music of the waves, the wind,  and the singing people.
I kiss him again, and the sun is fully up by this time.
"Good morning world!" I yell raising my hands in the air, Hayes grabbing my waist.
We all look so happy as I look around, all of us.
Iliana and Shawn seem to have somehow learned to not hate each other, and seem to be really hitting it off. They're a few feet away from Hayes and I dancing and singing, and they're actually pretty good at it.
Megan and Cam and dancing like crazy, and screeching to a song I don't know, and it's almost to funny that it's scary. Definitely not good dancers or singers, but look happy.
Nash and Whitney have striped down to their underclothes and gone into the water. Splashing around, smiling at laughing.
Matt and Jalyn are laying next to each other on the sand laughing and singing this oldies song.
Hayes pulls me in closer, "look at me," he says.
"This is right now, and everything is perfect." He smiles.
"I wouldn't say everything.." I look off to the side but me makes me look at him again.
"No, us. We're perfect. Everyone is happy. Honestly, I don't want to be found, cause what I have found on this island is all I need. It has brought me more good then bad, it brought me you, and baby, you're perfect." He kisses me.
