The Crash

Chapter Three

~Landon's POV~

I lay here listening to Abbie as she falls asleep. I first met Abbie freshman year. She seemed like a stuck up brat who always had to get good grades. I had nothing to do with her, and I made sure to keep her away. But when I found out she would be my tutor sophomore year I nearly blew a gasket. I wanted nothing to do with her.

I did everything I could to get her to quit. I showed up late, I cussed all the fucking time, I was rude and a major dick, but she wouldn't quit. It was her twin sister Ashley who gave me an idea. Act like I was into her and then call her her sister instead. That seemed to work. The next day I was told she quit.

I know what you think. That was a horrible thing to do, but I didn't want no prissy bitch trying to get me to learn. I was happy with getting D's in every class. It wasn't till a week later that I started to feel sorry for what I did. I was walking down an empty hall when I heard voices around the corner. I stopped to listen.

*flashback*

"Landon is in almost all my classes! What am I going to do? I can't stand to look at him anymore." Abbie asked.

"Talk to him! You always talked about him, and how excited you were to tutor him because it gave you an excuse to be around him." Jen says.

"Yeah, just talk to him. He might like you back!" Katie says.

"No! Never again. Not after what he did to me" Abbie says, close to tears.

"Why don't you tell us what he did you Abbie? We're here for you.." Jen says quietly.

"Yeah, you might feel better if you let it out.." Katie says.

"I can't. We need to get to class. We better get going before were late." Abbie says.

*flashback over*

It was than that I realized I made a mistake..

*****
That night I fall asleep with a grim expression on my face remembering what I did to her. I dream of white sandy beaches with the crystal blue ocean in front of me, and the girl of my dreams standing a few feet in front of me. I start walking towards her. She turns her head slightly towards me and I wrap my arms around her waist, and softly kiss her neck. She tells me she loves me, and I smile. I turn her around, lightly kiss her lips, and tell her I love her too.

~Abbie's POV~

I wake up, with Landon's arm still around my waist, but now his leg is wrapped around me. Holding me like he never wants to let me go. I have a small smile on my lips, and slowly turn around so I can snuggle in close to him without waking him up. I close my eyes and drift off back to sleep. When I wake later I hear Jen and Katie whispering.

"I told her that he liked her! Just look at them! They're so cute!" Jen whisper yells.

"Jen you have to be quite, we don't want to wake them up." Kaite whispers.

"Too late for that one" Says Landon as he slowly wakes up. He looks down at me snuggled into his arms, and pulls away.

"Morning." I say in a small sleepy voice.

"Morning yourself." He says. He starts to move himself away, and I pout. "What's wrong with you?"

"You're warm, and it's cold." I say. Jen, Katie laugh, while he just chuckles.

"Let me go to the bathroom, then I'll be back. Y'all need to turn around first." He says as he turns to the ocean. I quickly turn around, and look the other way. Before I know it, he's back.

"Y'all need to see this." Jen says slowly turning to look at us.

"What's wrong Jen?" I say quickly standing up, with Landon right behind me.

"Look!" Katie says pointing at something we can't see because of them being in the way. We walk around them and see an island off in the distance.

"Oh my god! Land!" Jen says hugging Katie, while I turn to Landon and I see he has a look of disbelief on his face.

"We won't have to sleep on this thing again! Yay!" Jen says. She doesn't like sleeping on anything but a bed.

"Maybe there are people on the island who can help us!" Katie says.

"I hate to break it to you Katie but there is no island in this area on the map. Don't you remember that from geography? There isn't going to be people on the island. Not unless they are other people from the crash, or they have crashed before us." I say.

"Well atleast we can hunt and fish for food." Jen says quietly.

"What do you know about hunting for fishing?" Katie asks.

"Nothing, but it can't be that hard, now can it?" Jen asks,"Abbie does it all the time with her dad when she visits him."

"It's not as smiple as you might think Jen. Both takes quiet a bit of patiences, which you don't have much of. Plus you have to skin, and gut the animals, and carefully cook the meats so no one gets sick." I say looking out at the island. It's truly beautiful. I wonder if there is a waterfall there.

"Well then you can do all that, while Katie and I look for something to make our shelter out of." Jen says in a matter of fact tone.

"Well what is Landon going to do?" I ask.

"He can build the shetler once Katie and I gather everything." Jen says simply.

"Why don't we all build the shelter together, then split up, and look for a place we can get water from. Then we will build a prufication system, then work on getting food afterwards?" I say.

"How do you know how to build a purifaction system?" Landon asks.

"I was a girl scout for severl years." I say and look at my bare feet blushing.

"Well then, the two of us can build that while the girls go and look for water. That way if they find water we can, have it set up, and wating for them when they get back." Landon says as we slowly drift towards the island.

*****
Soon we are able to jump off the wing of the plane and push it to the beach. Once there we all set off on our own tasks. First Jen and Katie go and look for some water while Landon and I build a purifaction system out of what we can find from our supplies, and what we find on the beach. Once we get that set up, and the girls are back with water we start on finding a place close by to build our shelter. We find a couple low haning trees, and use the branches to make a platform with sticks we found around the beach.

Once we got the platform made, we used palm tree leaves, and a tarp we found in a bag with a first aid kit, we made our roof. It took most of the day for us to make it, and make it stable, but we got it done. When we finally got all our supplies from the beach into our small, but useable shelter, the sun started to set.

"In the morning Landon and I will make a few traps, and make some spears so we can get some food, I want you girls to see if you can find anything that looks like fruit, and bring it to me. I can tell you if it is safe to eat or not. But for now lets just sit here and watch the sun set over this beautiful beach." I say, and with that we all huddle close together to keep warm and watch the sun set while Landon made a fire close to the shelter so we had something to keep us warm incase the temperature drops tonight.
