The FIVE

Chapter 14- Help!

Jake's POV
I screamed in pain for what felt like hours as she continued to slash me with the knife. I look over at Ansley and see that she is still out of it.

"I don't understand why you are helping him" I spat groggily and she smirks

"Because he reminded me of the day that I oh so tried to forget. Remember Sarah King? That party when we were 13?"

How can I forget? We were all scarred because of that day. It's embedded into our minds for good.

"Sarah's death was an accident" she starts laughing, but it's not her usual laugh, this one is dark and bitter.

"You see everyone keeps saying that, yet it wasn't" she spats dryly

"What are you talking about?"

"That night on the cliff. She went off and I tried to grab her. I screamed for you guys to help and yet you did nothing! Sarah was my best friend, the only one who would talk to me and you guys took that from me! Ryder is not in the wrong here. It's all you guys"

"Your the one who pushed her Alex. You caused her to fall off the cliff. It's just as much your fault as it was ours" Her face shows remorse but then it turns to an expression that I have never gotten from her. Pure hatred.

"At least I own up to it, all of you never owned up to shit! You all just sat there while I screamed for help and when the police came? It was an accident, she slipped and fell! I tried to save her while you all say there and did nothing!"

"Why are you making this about Sarah- oh my god... Your not Ryder, your Andrew King" Ryder starts clapping and chuckling.

"So you finally figured it out after two days of being here. It's about time" he turns to look at Alex "remember when I said that all hell was going to start?" She nods as he gives her a belt.

"Let the fun begin" they say in unison while coming closer to me. What the hell have I gotten myself into?

"Wait! I can help you" Ryder chuckles bitterly and replies "I'm already finished with my plan, well it ends with the two of you" he points to Ansley and I.

"Well what about Alex? She is at fault just as much as we are" I spat angrily

"See she helped my sister. My plan all along was to get all of you to suffer. It started with Alex's dad-"

"What?" Her eyes show that she is trying to be brave but I know Alex is in there.

He starts laughing and says "Oh my god that's right I forgot to tell you! I may have killed your father and made it look like he died on the field, but I actually shot him. Whoops!" He shrugs and she crosses her arms

He then turns to me and continues. "Then after that, I made sure that Josh got together with Any so that they would fall in love and Alex would be bitter. Then you added onto that by falling for Alex and becoming overprotective of her causing Ansley to get jealous. I made sure that Carson had a "premonition" that something bad was going to happen and then you know the deal with the boat thing"

"Why did you kill Carson?" I ask because I am genuinely confused. If he has been planning all of this for years, then why didn't he do this sooner?

"Well that's simple. When all of you got on the island, Carson wanted to turn back on the plan. She was going to tell you guys everything and I couldn't let her do that. When I found out she made that video... That was it. I killed her. I made sure that the tablet was on  about five percent so all you guys would know is that you were in danger. Then once you all turned on each other... I took Josh. He begged me to kill him because there was nothing for him anymore. Then it was Max, but that was your fault Alex. I wasn't going to kill him until you told me to bring it. So your brother's blood is on your hands" He snaps evilly with a chuckle and that's when she loses it.

She takes a gun out of her back pocket and aims it at him. "I've had enough! You've killed my whole family and my friends-"

"Like you killed Sarah?-"

"STOP SAYING THAT!" She screams. Then she starts laughing again and that is when I know she's losing it again. That's my girl. I smirk and let her take over. I believe she can do this.

"Put the gun down Alex, we wouldn't want you hurting yourself" Ryder chuckles and she laughs

"Hurt myself? More like hurt you. You have cost me so much pain to a point where I don't even want to live anymore! But I guess that's what you've wanted all along for me to die?" He stays silent and she points the gun to her head. "ANSWER ME!" She shouts and he comes closer.

There's a loud bang and Alex goes to the floor. "Oh Alex, that's exactly what I wanted all along and it looks like I'm gonna get it huh?" He walks away without a scratch on him and I start screaming as I can see Alex on the floor.

You know that people say when your loved ones are in need you get stronger to help them? Well I guess that's what happened to me because I broke the rope that I was tied up with and crawled over to Alex not caring how much pain I am in.

I take off my flannel and attempt to tie it around her torso but she pushes it away "it's okay Jake-"

"No it's not okay! I have lost everyone else that I love and I refuse to lose you too!" I start crying as I tie the flannel around her.

I grab her gun only to see that it is the flare gun that Ryder gave us a couple days ago and there is actual flares in it. She smiles and weakly says "I told you that being on his side would get us help"

"We are not dying in here, I am going to go get help, do you hear that?" I think I hear a plane. I get up and run as fast as I can without falling and start shooting hoping that it will see us.

It turns around and goes in for a landing on the sand. I run to the beach and start screaming. "HELP! HELP!" A man that looks about 40 is the first to speak.

"Tell me what happened son" I shake my head

"Not now. Please you have to take us back, my friends they are hurt! Please he's going to get us otherwise please!" I plead and they nod. "Show us where" the guy replies and I pull him to the place that I was just in.

"Oh my god. What is this place?" The woman that was with him says and I start panicking because Alex is passed out.

"Please just help us. Get us back to Beverly Hills I'll explain once we are safe we all just need to get out of here!" I panic. The guy picks up Alex and the woman and I un cuff Ansley from the pole with the key that Ryder stupidly left out and help her out.

Once we all are safely on the plane, I take a deep breath and explain the whole story.
