"Why me!"

I screamed before falling into the sand. I was in so much pain physically, I couldn't handle this mentally. I squeezed my eyes shut and focused on my breathing.

"I am okay." Trying to convince​ myself would help. "I am alive." I couldn't bare to move. "I will be safe, I will get through this." Opening my eyes was going to be hard. "I've seen cast away, I've played video games, I've.. I uh, I've seen half an episode of Lost." Saying that helped lighten my mood. "That's a good start." I breathed out heavily. "I am going to open my eyes... and I will not freak out."

Deep breath in.

Deep breath out.

Slowly I started to see the sky above me. Light, blue, full of clouds. Soft, fluffy, clouds.

Deep breath in.

Deep breath out.

I placed my left hand in the sand. Soft, smooth, sand.

Deep breath in.

Deep breath out.

Slowly I pushed my bare torso off of the ground. In front of me the ocean. Calm, blue, ocean.

Deep breath in.

Deep breath out.

My head nodded.

"I can do this. I am strong." I kept my wounded hand next to my stomach as I pushed myself to my feet. Turning from the ocean I found the rest of the island. A forest or perhaps a jungle, it was big. Looking to the sky above it I could see a trail of smoke. "The rest of the plane?"

Deep breath in.

Deep breath out.

"More plane, more people." A small smile crept along my lips. "I'm not alone." My breathing started speeding up. "I'm not alone!" I pumped my fist into the air. "Ow!" Quickly regretting that decision I grabbed my side. My body ached from that treacherous crash landing. "Damn it." Looking back at the patch of smoke made me smile again. "I'm gonna make it." I started limping toward the forest. Walking across the unsteady sand I could only think what would happen once I get to the others. One step away from touching grass, something stopped me.

"Hey!" A hand landed on my shoulder. Quickly I turned to see a woman with messy brown hair, another surviver. "Where are you going?" She had a slight accent.

"I thought I was alone!" My hand reached for her arm wanting to hug her.

"Where were you going?" She slowed her words down.

"Uh," I pointed to the sky, "the trail of smoke, the rest of the plane." She started to smile as she looked up. Her lips moved without making noise before she took her eyes off of the sky bringing them back to me. "But you can't go."

"What? Why can't I?" I pulled my arm back.

"Do you know what kind of creatures are out there? Because I have no idea, there could be wolves, or worse. And what if the sun sets? It could be cold, you could freeze." She gestured to my torso. "You aren't even wearing a shirt."

"You don't even know me." I turned back to the jungle.

"Is that my fault?" She asked. "I'm just trying to keep another person alive, if you leave I can't guarantee you'll survive. We shouldn't have to do this alone." I stopped. She's right, I'm not thinking anything through I'm too rushed. My mind is spinning from all that's happened. Am I willing to risk everything for false hope? I turned back to the woman.

"I'm sorry, my mind is so rushed."

"It's okay, I know how you feel."

"So what do we do?"

"I'm not sure, maybe we should gather supplies?" She spoke.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"How strong is your stomach? Because if we go back to the plane we can't lose what we've eaten."

Deep breath in.

Deep breath out.

"I can do it." I looked her in the eye.

"Okay." She spoke. "I think I can too."

We headed back to the broken plane to look for things we may need. I'll spare the gruesome details. All you really need to know is there was a lot of blood, and there was a lot of bodies.

In the end we found bags. Bags full of things that may or may not be useful. We piled the bags we found on the beach. Planning to look through them after we started a fire.

I didn't think I could've ever get through this alone. I wouldn't be this smart alone.

I'm lucky Marzia was with me.

Hey my dudes, sorry this took so long to post and it's still shorter than normal. But I didn't know what else to put and I'm not sure I like this chapter that much. I'll be working on getting out a better chapter next but still might take a while.

BUH BYE! Lol (lots of love)
