Stranded Survival // Ethan Dolan

Chapter 4: The Island

I felt my eyes open in a terrible pain. My legs hurt like someone stabbed them and my arms didn't feel like moving. All I saw was a blue sky with one cloud. When I turned my head to look, it felt like I was going to die. Every tear I dropped stung me. When I turned my head to look I saw the plane, sinking in the water. Suddendly the pain stopped and before thinking, I jumped in the water to get to the plane.

When I got to the plane, everyone was underwater. I saw a stewardess with life jackets. She probably tried to save the others, but drowned. There were only a couple of people in their seats. I grabbed the life jackets and saw Ethan. I swam to Ethan and unbuckeled his seat belt. I held his waist. the sunlight was flashing through the water. I layed him on a floating backpack and used CPR.

Come on Kayla. "Press 30 times on his chest, and then use mouth to mouth." I'm so glad school exists right now.
"Ethan, don't give up. Come on Ethan. 28...29...30." I said as I pressed my lips to his. Suddenly Ethan's eyes went wide open. "KAYLA. GRAYSON! GRAYSON! GRAYSON!" He screamed while crying. "Is he still there?" I asked him. "HE WAS BEHIND ME!" I then swam as fast as I could to find Grayson.

Grayson was in his seat and looked all pale. But in my mind, I didn't let him die. Not today. I unbuckled his seat belt and pulled him up. I saw Ethan diving down, trying to save the others. I used CPR on Grayson and he just survived. "ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN! THE OTHERS!" "Grayson calm down." "Ethan is fine. Go save the others. They are still on the plane." Grayson was confused as hell and went back.

Then Ethan came back and said to me: "Kayla, use your CPR thing with her. It was Veronica." VERONICA!" I yelled with tears in my eyes. I then pressed 30 times on her chest. I used mouth to mouth and I was giving up when suddenly, she started breathing. Then her eyes slowly opened. I didn't want to let her go down because she wouldn't be strong enough." stay here. Do you know how to use CPR?" I asked with a concerned look on my face. She nodded.

Grayson went up with someone else. He asked Veronica to use CPR on him. She did. "Where is your brother?" she asked. Ethan then came up with a girl. "Kayla, use your CPR on her. Grayson and I are going to get some survival stuff." I nodded.
When Veronica saved that guy, he started screaming. Just then, I saved the last girl. She was crying and screaming.
Grayson and Ethan came up with some survival stuff and clothes.

While we were trying to comfort each other, Veronica saw an island. "G..g..guys." She slowly pointed to the island. "We have to go there." Ethan said. Grayson nodded. The rest of us was silent. Veronica, Ethan and I started to swim to the island while pushing the others in that direction.
When we got to the shore we were really tired. We all passed out in the sand.

I woke up and I'm guessing that is was around 19:00. My back felt warm and when I turned around I saw Ethan looking at a fire. "Did you make that yourself?" Ethan nodded. "I and Grayson used to make our own fires in our backyard. So what are we going to do now? I mean I don't think anyone here is a survival expert." "I guess that we will have to see."

Ethan sighed. "Well, I am not letting us starve. Are you going to help?" "Of course. But how?" "Well, if you just try to get some coconuts from those palm trees, then I will try to find something with the pocket knife I found on the plane."

I set my foot on the tree and tried to hold onto the tree with the most grip I could get. When I was at the top, I hit the coconuts so they would fall down. I got 8 coconuts when Ethan came back with a crab. I jumped down and picked up the coconuts.
Ethan and I sat down at the fire place. Ethan killed the crab, while I put away the coconuts. "How many coconuts do we have?" "8 coconuts." "We are with 6 people, we can eat 2 of them, right?" "Sure I mean, we were the ones that collected the food."

Ethan picked up 2 coconuts and smashed them. He gave one to me. We drank some and there was a 2-minute silence when Ethan said: "I know how you looked at me in the plane." "What do you mean?" "Nothing. Just that you think I have a hot body." He said, smiling. "Well, what about gym class, when I had to wear those clothes?" "I can't help it. Yes, you have a nice body and yes I was looking at it. But.... Yeah, I was checking you out." "Ethan!" I say while punching his arm. Ethan laughed. We then just stared into each other's eyes.
