The Island

The Crash 1.5

Ian's POV

We posed for Skyler's photo as we where about to leave. I was one of the last to get onto the plane. When i got on i realized Skyler and Ariana were two seats in front of where I was sitting. I sat down and saw Riley sit right next to me.

"Switch you seats" Riley said. I was sitting by the window and Riley was by the hall.

"Sure, but you owe me a favor after this." I said.

"Yeah, whatever" he said. I switched seats with him. Riley is my best friend I have known him since elementary, when he started picking on me and bullying me. Soon i got tired of it and punched him right in the face. He smiled a bloodied smile at me when i did and we've been friends since then.

It did not take much time for him to open his mouth again. "You ready to get into Taylor's pants?"

"Are you ready to get into Vanessa's?" I snapped back.

He chuckled and said "Dude it was a bet, you gotta do it."

I saw Skyler get out of her seat. I cringed and clenched my jaw as she walked past me. With my eyes forward waiting for her to leave my eye sight.

"Dude, we should prank her or something," Riley said, knowing why i was so tense.

"Yeah, we should" I said plainly. Skyler stayed on my mind.

"Well, im going to sleep" Riley said as he got comfortable.

"Same..." I closed my eyes and dreamt of her.

Hours later I felt turbulence and looked around as I shook my grogginess. I saw a little boy, about 9 years of age, dark hair, little body, with big blue round eyes, on my right, on the row next to ours, frightened.

The turbulence stopped and i leaned over to ask him what was wrong.

"Hey buddy, whats wrong?" I asked.

Startled he looked at me, "Im scared of the plane's shaking." He said shyly.

"Dont worry you will be okay, just imagine that we are on a spaceship trying to get to another planet, and when we shake that means that aliens are trying to take us down and stop us, that is why you have to be brave so that we can get to the other planet in one piece, because when we get to the other planet everyone will be happy and we will be at peace because no aliens will attack us anymore. Okay?"

The little boy looked at me with those big round eyes, amused and fascinated, with a big wide grin on his face, and said "Okay"

I started talking with him, about where he was from, what grade he was in, and what was his purpose for this trip. He was a pretty cool little boy, he liked to read but also loved many sports, he lived in Hawaii and was coming back from a trip to visit his family in New York. His name was Liam.

Liam fell fast asleep, he wasnt scared of the turbulence anymore. I wasnt sleepy so I got out my book called "The Fifth Wave" by Rick Yangley. It was a pretty good book.

Suddenly I felt turbulence harder than the one before. I put my seat belt on as the indicator on the screen told us to do us.

I heard the pilot speaking "Please remain seated we are having trouble with the engine, i suggest-" The plane jolted harshly and i heard a loud noise coming from behind. An explosion! Heat filled the cabin and the plane was going down. I grabbed on as we plumetted to the earth. Everyone was panicking.

We then crashed onto a body of land. We bounced and the plane got shredded apart. There was a huge hole being made on the left side of the plane. There was a screech, metal against metal and everything went still as we came to a stop.

I wanted to get out as i felt the heat of the flame coming from behind the cabin. I heard screaming and saw as a person ran through the hall in flames.

Terrorized i wanted to get out of my seat. But my seat belt didnt budge. I started to panic and i felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Riley, i realized that he was bleeding, he had a shard of glass stuck on his cheek and many cuts all over his face and arm. The window had burst with the impact.

"Dont worry" he said as he grabbed a big sharp piece of glass from the floor and started cutting the seat belt.

When he was finished i got out of my seat. I suddenly stopped when i realized that Liam had a big piece of metal stuck in his chest. He looked on with empty big round eyes, dead. I got close and closed his eyes.

"You were a great kid, Liam." I closed my eyes. He was just a little boy, a whole life ahead of him.

Riley interupted my thoughts as he pulled me to get out of this wrecked hell. "We need to go! NOW!"

I understood and we walked toward the hole that was made in the crash on the left side of the plane.

As we walked forward, i saw a familiar face, Skyler. Still in her seat. I checked to see if she was breathing or bleeding, she just had a few cuts from the window glass bursting but she was fine. She was unconscious.

Why should i help her? She's betrayed me more than once, she broke my heart. I should leave her, maybe someone else will come and help her and if not...

I couldnt leave her, it didnt feel right.
Fück me!

I untied her seat belt and grabbed her legs with my right arm and her upper back with my left.

Riley was attending a little girl who was sitting alone, the other seats beside her were shredded, one of the seats wasnt even there anymore, she was intact. He grabbed her after calming her down and sat her on his shoulders, her blonde hair waves messed up in knots.

We got out through the hole, Skyler still in my arms, and walked on to a sandy beach. Parts of the plane scattered all over the beach. Survivors were starting to appear out of the wreckage, some crying, others screaming, others going back into the wreckage to find their belongings others their loved ones.

It was complete chaos.
