Stranded. Im stranded.
It was all a blur. The wave hit it so hard that it immediately broke. A boat. That's right I was on a boat.
Before chaos broke free someone was telling me something, who was it? It was my friend, best friend that's who it was. What was her name again? I remember now her name is Trin....Trinity Noel Provost.
When the wave crashed I was slammed into the metal fence of the boat and pain shot up my back, I clenched my teeth.
Freezing water was pushing and shoving me around. It held me there like I was glued to the metal.
I did not want to fight back. I wanted to join the the bursts of water slamming into me, loosing all hope I closed my eyes and did not move. I don't know why I felt the way I did but I really truly wanted to die....I wanted to let go of everything.
It was insane how clearly I could think under the salty water.
That's when I snapped.
Memories of me playing with my cousins, family reunions , Christmas mornings, thanksgiving dinners, and trick or treating all came rushing back inside my corrupt head. I knew and I know now that my time here isn't done yet.....not yet.
I fought against the strong current trying to push of from the fence. My back was throbbing and my chest burned like someone had set fire to it. I needed air badly, I was underwater for about a minute and I was running out of time.
I finally positioned myself just right and pushed of so hard from the fence I pulled a muscle in my leg but I ignored it and just kept kicking my legs trying to swim to the surface. It was me against the ocean.... And I was determined to win.
I could see the sun through the water and I felt so close to it, I wanted to reach out and grab it. Using the rest of my strength I broke the surface of the water.
My lungs were about to give out and I had made it just in time. I struggled to stay above the water, pain crawled up my spine and my leg throbbed when I kicked them.
I looked around and saw pieces of wood and metal floating around me. I scanned my surroundings looking for survivors.
There was no signs of anyone including my friend....what was her name again? Oh yeah its Trin, why can I never remember her name. How could I not remember.
I felt the energy of the ocean around me, beating like a heart, ssshhh ssshhh ssshhh.
I swam to a big piece of floating wood twice the size of me and climbed on, taking short breaks because of my back. When I got on the sun hit me and I felt warm inside. My shirt and shorts were soaking wet and my elastic fell out of my hair so it was hanging in front of my face. I still had on the fanny pack that my mom ordered me to wear even though I felt 90 years old when I had it on.
I felt ecstatic that I was alive, I even started laughing out loud. I forgot about the fact that I was all alone in the middle of the ocean with no one to help me.
It took me a minute to create a plan inside my head. I knew I had to find land, that was my first priority.
It took me 1 day to swim to the island. 1 day of pain, desperation, and perseverance. I remember crying when I saw it in the distance. I felt so joyful and I could not wait to walk on land again.
My head was pounding, my mouth was dry, my back and leg ached when I moved them, and my stomach hurt badly yet I didn't even care. I paddled furiously to shore and immediately collapsed when I got there.
I lay my head on the wet sand as the waves lapped against me. Tiredness hovered over me and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
When I woke up it was almost totally dark out and stars were starting to peak out from the sky. I crawled further on to land with my soaked clothes and layed down.
That brings me to now. I'm writing under a bueatiful starry sky as I sit in the sand in my soaking wet clothes. I am more tired, hungry, and thirsty then anyone could ever be and extremely lonely.
The whole crew of the ship is dead and gone, part of a watery grave and I lost someone important to me. I lost my friend, my best friend. Trinity Noel Provost was her name. I will never see her again....I will never see her again....I will never see my Mom again....I will never see my Brother and sister again....I will never see my Memere again....I will never see my aunts again....I will never see my cousins again....I am forever alone.
I need to go to sleep before I loose it.
Sweet dreams to me, because they may be the only good thing I have left.
