Stranded

Chapter 6: First Impressions

Lea’s POV

"Liam, why don't you take them out? Have some fresh air maybe. Just don't get lost. We’ll go find Louis and Niall. Maybe they're just around. Harry and I will look if there are still other people left."Zayn said, trying to look calm. But even so, uneasiness was seen undeniably in his face.

"Okay." Liam answered as he led Angel and I to the exit. Like an absolute prince charming, he said, “After you, ladies.”

We were stuck in an unknown tropical island much like Hawaii or the Philippines. I don't know. We are definitely nowhere. I looked at Liam and Angel. A melancholy of emotions covered each one’s face. Perhaps mine too. Tears were starting to fall from Angel’s eyes. She sat near while I stood, staring blankly at the vast ocean as the sun began to set.

We are currently stuck nowhere withthree-fourths of One Direction. Some might call us the luckiest girls on Earth. But I guess we aren’t. Confused, I looked downwards, staring at the sand. I never ever imagined tobe in a ship during a storm. I never imagined being on a far-off island. Everything seemed so unexpected. We might as well expect unexpected things to happen, too.

HARRY's POV

"Do you really think there are still people out here?" Zayn asked me. We were stuck in an island with no one else but Liam and the two girls we met a while ago, Angel and Lea. Niall and Louis are still nowhere to be found. Also, we do not know where we are exactly.

"Uh-huh. I do." I answered, unsure of my very own reply. Good thing I was able to hide the tone of fear as I spoke.

"This place sure is scary." He uttered.

We were looking around the ship, looking for any more survivors. We went to the bar but there was no one in there. We went to the other 'supposedly crowded' places, but I guess everybody who went there got out. We continued to search the suites.

"Hey. Let's check this out." I said.

"Okay." He replied.

We entered an unopened room, Room 127. I niticed that every room is not identical to the other. Every room in SS Destiny was unique to the other. Each one portrays a different story.

"Hey, Harry, look!"Zayn exclaimed.

He pointed at a girl lying near the bed. There was blood trickling down her face. She seemed to have bumped her head on the headboard during the commotion.

"Zayn, go get some bandages!" I said.

"Where??" He asked, confused and running around the room.

"Look in the medicine cabinet." I said. I took off my shirt and soaked it in water. I went back to the girl and carried her to the bed.

"Here." Said Zayn, handing me a pack of bandages. "How many hours had passed after the crash?"

"I dunno." I said. "About an hour?"

"Do you think she can still survive?" Zayn asked.He looked quite cynical about everything that had just happened. He was sweating so awfully for the suite is quite warm. I myself feel like I’m burning too. With the heat and the tension altogether, I had trouble breathing in a normal way.

Nervous, I checked her pulse rate. "I think she's just okay. But I guess we have to bring her out of this room."

"Yeah. This place is damn hot." He said, eyeing my topless body.

Lea's POV

"I can't believe it." Angel said. Her eyes were stricken with fear. I could feel her heart throbbing even though her body barely touched mine. She looked a lot like a little lost puppy. I couldn’t really stand seeing people crying but she’s different. She is my best friend.
