"I'm so bored " Brett grumbled beside me while throwing stones.
"Well we agreed to rest today , so suck it up and deal with it " I coughed still feeling burning in my lungs.
"Okay let's get food so I can eat away my boredom" he got to his feet with the assistance of a twig he found.
"Were to ?" I asked staring into the ever green sea of vegetation.
"There " he pointed to a semi worn trail.
" Brett why is there a trail on a deserted island ?" He raised his eyebrow.
"Maybe animals " we approached the trail and banana peelings were scattered everywhere.
"See told you , were there are bananas , there are monkeys " he smiled with his right hypothesis.
We continued on the trail till we were met with a pile of junk.
"So you suppose other ships have wrecked here ?" I asked and he nodded.
He started sorting the junk into piles. One was for shelter , and one for tools. We so far had found; a stretched canvas tarp , a sharp pointed metal shard, and a logo.
I started to dig through the stuff and came across a radio. Brett immediately grabbed it from me and hobbled back towards camp.
"Wait up peg leg " I yelled after him.
"This could get us home !" He quickly sat down and flipped the radio in his hands.
" We need to see if it works" he popped the battery pack out and sure enough two batteries were perfectly placed inside.
"Okay now we need something for an antenna , and something tall" I nodded and headed back to the junk pile. I frowned.
A tall ,slender pole sat right on top of the pile. I shook my head . I just hadn't paid attention to what was there earlier.
I gave the pole to Brett and he cut small strips of tarp to hold it. He turned the radio on and hit the top of it a few times and we both cheered when the familiar static was heard.
"We're going home !" I yelled and he laughed.
"We'll hold on to that okay" he turned the knob a few times till we heard voices.
"HELLO!" Brett screamed into the radio. The voices stopped.
"WE'RE STRANDED ,PLEASE HELP US" the voices remained silent.
" This is the R.M.S liner Bravo , We have found your location , we should arrive in two days, will you be okay till then?" My mouth fell open and Brett replied with a yes and they signed off.
"WERE GOING HOME !" Brett yelled and picked me up , forgetting his foot and we fell.
I fell right on top of him and he laughed. My cheeks reddened and I hurriedly got off him.
"Sorry" I said and he shrugged.
" what's the first thing you're going to do when you get home?" He asked and I laughed.
" I'm going to write a novel on how I was stranded with a stubborn, rude , celebrity " I laughed but he wasn't laughing. His face showed all anger.
"That's all you saw me as , you now you're no different than anybody else. All I'm seen as is a celebrity " he yelled and I flinched.
"I was just joking "
"Whatever , let's just survive these two days " he got up and walked away leaving me sitting on the beach staring at the water.
Why did I feel so hurt by his words? I laid my head on my knees and the silent tears ran down my face. He was rude , arrogant, selfish..... but he wasn't any of those things. He saved my life on more than one occasion. I groaned.
"Why do I have feeling for you?" I whispered to no one in particular.
"Okay I found some food"
I wiped my eyes and took what food he handed me. A bushel of some red berry, half a banana , and a coconut.
" Are you sure these berries are safe ?" I asked and he nodded.
" I'm sure of it " I shrugged and popped a few in my mouth and chewed.
Brett's berries were a pink color, but I didn't question his berry picking skills.
We rebuilt our tents to have two side by side ,so we wouldn't have to share one. Then we retrieved all the junk ,and examined the metal object. Deciding it could be a spear for better food. The logo we had neither one seen.
It was a gold oval with the name legend in black printed across it. We decided maybe it was a dogs tag or belt buckle.
Two hours had passed and Brett wasn't feeling well. He laid on his side holding his stomach.
"It was the berries" I said cracking open the coconut (for once) and using the water for him to drink.
"No they were on the same vine as yours and you aren't sick" he started to throw up all the contents of his stomach.
He continued to throw up till there was nothing left. He later lost conscious leaving me to continuously check to see if he was breathing. Dark began to fall again as I got the fire started. Brett had a fever and the sweat beading down his face. I sat beside him and watched as his eyebrows would knit together, and then he mumbled a few words.
"Please don't leave " he said and groaned.
"I'm not leaving " I said and stroked his hair.
"Meghan "
"Yeah Brett , Brett ?" I watched his eyes and they weren't open or fluttering so I expected him to still be asleep.
"Meghan I ...." his mumbling continued till he broke out into violent coughs.
After that he went silent again. I moved him into my tent so I could keep an eye on him. As I laid there a sound of snapping branches came from the worn trail.
I peaked through the canvas door , and saw nothing so I pulled the canvas tight and secured the bottom with rocks. Just in case creepy crawlers decided to join.
Brett's breathing was slow and constant. His features were soft. His chiseled jaw , his long lashes shadowed across his face from the fire made him look like a model. I bent down and kissed his forehead.
"Honestly I'm kinda sad we're leaving, because once we do you'll never think of me and we'll never see each other again " I whispered to him.
"I think of you a lot " he said and bent up and kissed me.
I gasped , but kissed him back. His lips against mine felt right. We pulled away and he smiled.
