Exhaustion had taken me wholeheartedly. I felt water on my shoulder and I mentally groaned. Brett was drooling on me.I rolled over and opened my eyes to water. The tides had come in just after sunset , and it was dark now.
By the light of the moon I made out an empty space in the tent. Brett was gone. I jumped up looking for him.
"Brett !!" I screamed hoping he was just off somewhere.
I ran into the water about knee deep searching for him. Tears ran down my face at the fact I might be left alone on this island. As the tides crept back into the ocean it took me with it .
Water invaded my nose and mouth. I couldn't breath or scream for help. Sand rubbed my legs as I tried to stop myself. My lungs burned and my eyes saw endless black. I felt my arm get caught in something . I was being dragged away from the water. I looked up and saw Brett hurriedly pulling me to shore as my vision blurred.
"No no no don't close your eyes Meghan" I opened them and he smiled.
"See that's good"
My lungs hadn't received air for what felt like forever. My eyes closed as Brett started CPR. I felt each compression against my ribs as I started to cough water.
I screamed and violently coughed up the remanding water as Brett accidentally broke two ribs. I curled into a ball and held my side.
"I'm so sorry , I didn't know I was pushing that hard " he was panicked and patting my shoulder.
"You're supposed to" I groaned out sounding like a wounded frog. He chuckled.
"Yeah I know , but I never thought I could actually break one less alone two " he sat down beside me and lifted my arm.
"That hurts " he lightly pushed along my ribs and cringed.
"I'm sorry " I put my finger to his lips.
" how's your ankle?" He shrugged.
" hurts like heak " I looked down at his ankle which was twice as swollen and almost black in color.
" lets make a deal"
"What kinda deal?"
" We both fight through the pain ;rummage up enough food for a few days, then come back and rest till we recover" he smiled and laid beside me.
"You gotta deal in the morning " he stretched out and put his hands behind his head.
"Do ever think well be found ?" I asked and he huffed.
"That's a funny question "
" I'm being serious "
" well hate to admit it , but I think I'll be stuck with you " we say quietly after that just staring at the stars. Listening to the water.
"Did you have a boyfriend ?"
" now there's your funny question "
"Why not ?"
"I'm too busy with my job "
"Oh" he said.
I felt a warm tear slide down my cheek. We were really alone and Brett was right no one was going to find us.
"What's wrong ?" He asked sitting up.
"WE'RE STRANDED !" I yelled and the tears poured down my face.
"Shh it's okay , calm down"
He laid back down and held my waist ,and stroked my hair.
"Its going to be fine , I promise " he said and I sighed.
He was a jerk by day and sweet at night. I rolled my eyes , this guy was really confusing.
