Surviving

Chapter 20

Sophie's POV

Collin helps me up and we both abandon everything to go a search for the boys. He sighs as I start crying harder. I just can't imagine not finding them. It would be all my fault and if I ever leave this island and the boys haven't I will be hated on so badly, I don't even want to think about what could happen.

I have just noticed how sweet Collin actually is, he is really caring and I feel like he actually understands me. He is helping me with almost everything at the moment, my arms and legs are hurting so bad but I'm not going to tell him becuase he will probably stop the search and I don't want that to happen. I am so desperate.

I wince as I climb over a rock, some twig scratching me right on one of my bruises. Tears prickle at my eyes but I keep them in.

There isn't enough time, what if on this exact moment a plane or ship passes by and we won't have another chance of getting out of here. Determination isn't strong enough a word to describe what I am feeling right now.

We have been limping around for hours now and Collin has asked for a small break many times but every time I have refused that to happen. Every passing second I am getting more and more worried if I ever will see them. what if I dont? What if I die here? I need to see my family, friends everyone. I am one hundred percent sure that when I go back (if I do) I will be doing charity work and helping people as much as I can. I just need to get away from this isolated place. It is like a prison, keeping me trapped.

As if the path to heaven has been opened light comes shining in from between the treetops and I get reminded of a place I had been. Precisely, the last place I had seen the boys in. A grin comes etching it's way into my face and I start crying harder, bit from fear, hurt or any of those type of things but from pure happiness.

"Boys! Are you here?!" I shout out happily. I hear shuffling and murmuring for only a few seconds and they jump up from behind a rock charging forward towards me also gleaming with joy.

"Sophie!" they yell and look at Collin beside me who is observing what is happening, "and the guy beside Sophie!" They all come crashing on top of me and Collin making a pile. We shout things signifying how happy we are to finally see each over and they get off me. I didn't say anything about my arm or anything and just held in my pain becuase I knew that it would run the moment by notifying them about it.
