Stranded

Twenty One

1 Month, 5 days 

-unedited-

Nate's POV 

Not much has happened in the past week, according to Austin we have been here for over a month now. Meaning It's been a month and a few days since Trames started dating, they celebrated that by spending the whole day in the woods doing heaven knows what. It's been over a week since me, Drew and Levi started dating. Now all I'm waiting for is bronnor, they are so oblivious to one another's feelings it's almost fustrating just watching them.

I look over at Austin who is drawing things in the sand with a bored expression, I don't blame him being on an abandoned island for over a month isn't the slightest bit fun. He's been so caught up in helping everyone that he hasn't really been thinking about himself, I want to help him so badly but I can't even help myself. I'm such a mess, If I can't help myself how am I supposed to help someone else? He needs someone strong enough to help him and take care of themself, I wish that could be me. He's done so much for me; it would only be fair if I returned the favour. 

He's helped; me, levi and Drew so much so that we are now together, He's helped Brad and Connor now they're best friends once again, He's helped Tristan and James get 'back' together. He really deserves an award or something. I really owe him a lot.

"You okay man? you've been staring at me for a while and I'm sure Drew and Levi wouldn't be happy with me" he jokes making me smile a little, I haven't really thought about Drew and Levi. I guess I was too caught up in the fact that I'm actually dating two people at once, I don't think I'll ever get over that. "helloooo nate? you there man?" he asks snapping me out my thoughts, 

"sorry" I mumble feeling my cheeks get hot

"don't worry what's got you thinking so much?" he asks and I shrug

"Everything" I say quietly looking down at my hands, "I really owe you Austin but I'm so annoyed that i can't even take care of myself to at least do something for you, or anyone for that matter" I say with a sigh

"Hey it's okay Nate, you are one of my best friends I don't need you to give me anything for helping you it's what I'm here for, I love helping people. Don't worry about it, after what you've been through Nate it's okay that you're finding it hard to look after yourself. If you need to talk about anything I'm here, I always have been" He says with a small smile, I smile slightly myself before hugging him. He chuckles hugging back, 

"Love you bro"I mumble, he ruffles my hair as part of his friendly gesture.

"love you too"

It still doesn't feel right, he's kindness only makes it worse. I want to help him, but I can't and it's only going to make me feel worse. Maybe he really is okay and it's in his nature to be so kind and laid back, maybe I'm just- "Woah hey what's going on here?" I hear a voice say, I pull away from Austin looking up.

Of course, Drew and Levi.

"Nothing, Nate just needed a little cheering up."Austin smiles pinching my cheek, I smile. I'm almost jealous to how happy he can be. 

They sit down beside us with a nod, Drew pulls me onto his lap making me blush whilst Levi takes my space beside Austin. He rests his head on my shoulder with a content sigh, I lean back against Drew trying not to let him take all my body weight.

I will help him.

Austin's POV 

So it's been a weird hectic month on this island, we're still thinking about naming it which should be fun. Nate has gone back to thinking a lot, he seemed really upset that he couldn't help me. I don't need help which is the confusing part, I'm completely fine. If there is anyone who needs help it's Connor and Brad because man are those two stupid, they are so in love with each even a blind person can tell. 

For instance they are currently having a tickle fight over by a tree, yes a tickle fight. Both shouting and laughing quite loudly as if it were only them. If I watch them be oblivious any longer I think I'm going to scream, now there's two ways that i could do this. Ether walk over there and bluntly tell them that they love one another or walk over there and force them to talk to each other about this. Ether way It's happening right now. 

With a sigh I stand up being careful not to trip over Nate, Drew and Levi who somehow fell asleep, and walk over to them. They look up from their place on the floor with a smile, "Hey Austin" Connor smiles

"Hi" I say with a smile "you two need to talk about a little something called feelings and if I need to be more blunt then I will" I say crossing my arms, they look confused for a second

"We know what feelings are Austin" Brad points out, I roll my eyes.

"I mean romantic feelings dumbass, feelings towards another person. In this case you and Connor, you two are making me sick. You're so oblivious it's not even possible, so you two need to sit down and talk" I say pointing my finger, I turn to walk away 

"We're already sitting" I hear con whisper to brad, i roll my eyes walking away.

Brad's POV

I look over at Con as soon as Austin walks off, He seems to smile at his own little joke making me smile as well. "maybe he needs the help"I whisper and he laughs making me grin at the sound, His laugh has always been one of my favourite things. And his hair, his cute fluffy hair that by now has lost the blondness but his natural colour looks just as cute. Maybe Austin is right. We sit in silence for a little before he speaks up, "soooo"he starts looking around 

"I think I love you"

HI I'm not dead, I wrote this while watching Jacksepticeye fun fact. Anywayyyy this book will be coming to an end in a few chapters, I know sad times. Jk. I'm thinking maybe in a couple of chapters, but that's not why I made this mini authors note. I wanted to say I have a new book coming out maybe in the last few chapters of this one! It's Nevi because as much as ppl ship Drevi I ship Nevi more....don't attack.

It's about bullying and some other topics and I wanted to show people my view on bullying and how I absolutely hate the fact it happens, obviously since it's about bullying it has some touchy subjects so thats a warning for you.

Though I hope you will enjoy it, it includes 5sos - spoilers oops- but yeah that's all. Thanks for 1.1k reads that's awesome! I love you guys see in you in the next chappie! xx
