Surviving with you.

Chapter 2.

oooo hey Lukee.. ;)

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

The boat is a lot smaller than I expected, and it's just me and Alex on the boat. I guess no one else felt like coming out today.

The breeze is lovely and the mist from the water hits my olive skin as we move through the beautiful Caribbean. Were on the move to The Lost Island.

The Lost Island, as said in the brochure, is an Island that was land made and cannot be found without following a specific trail. It's surrounded by water and was found in 1941 by Alfred Vixon, a U.S. army general, during World War II and eventually used to hide supplies.

We've been riding forever, we must be away from the beach a good amount.
Alex has been extremely quiet and I would love to know why..

"You're quiet, I'm worried." I act a scared face.

"Im fine." He says flatly.

"What happened? Did one of your babe's turn you down?" I add humor.

"The only one that actually matters." He frowns.

It's like the frown has been plastered on his face all day and it's starting to upset me.

He always has a bright smile covering his face.

"You know you can tell me anything, Alex." I say touching his toned shoulder.

"I don't like lover boy very much." He looks down.

What? Why?

"Why?" I ask.

"He seems like a real player," He looks up. "You deserve better."

I would call him out on his use of the word player considering that word belongs to him but I decide against it.

"Oh." I say.

"It's like i'm almost jealo...."

The boat start's spinning out of control and i'm not sure exactly what happened but every piece of the wooden boat is flying every where and our driver is no where to seen.

I'm flicked off the boat and when i land, my knee gets scraped very badly and i'm knocked out.

☻

When I awake, I can barely walk. My knee has lost a lot of skin and the dried blood and light head feeling i'm having shows i lost a lot of blood as well. I begin to walk, stepping on bug's I didn't know existed and running into plant's that are taller than me.

When my knee can't take anymore, I rest under a tree that has been the only one that appears not to be invested by bugs. It's large and green with a soft, bark free trunk.

The big green leaves coming out of the stems have beautiful purple flowers growing out of the end's. I can't seem identify what type of tree it is but I know Alex would, he took biology and they spent a good 3 month's talking about the identification of tree's. I can already tell Alex would like this tree.

Alex.

"Oh my gosh, Alex!" I scream out loud.
I begin to run as fast as I can back to where I started on the beach.

"Alex!" I scream repeatedly until I trip.

Clumsy.

I get up as quickly as I can and run even faster.

"Alex! Please! Alex!" My throat begins to burn from my repeated yelling and I don't know how much more I can take.

Why? Just, why? Why is all I can ask.

"Why?!" I begin to sob thinking about being stranded on this Island for the rest of my life. I break down and when my knee's touch the floor the sand burn's the revealed flesh.

"Remi!" A voice screams.

Alex.

"Alex!" I yell as much as my throat will let me.

I spot him.

I begin to run.. well limp.. over to him and when I do reach him, i'm welcomed to a warm embrace.

"Remi." He begin's to cry.

"Alex." I cough.

We begin to walk back to the beach I started at and when we finally arrive i'm beat.

"Can we take a break soon, i'm tired." I ask calmly.

"Of course." His voice is raspy.

When we find the perfect spot under a nicely grown palm tree, Alex climbs the tree and cut's down a few leaves with his pocket knife to make a "bed" and we use our life jackets, that we were required to wear on the boat for "safety", as pillows.

I sit down, pulling my knee's up to my chest in an attempt to warm self from the cold breeze that just hit the island.

"Here have my shirt." He say's pulling off his oversized flannel only leaving his undershirt left covering his toned torso.

"Thank you." I smile.

"They'll come looking for us, I just know, they have too." I say, using the only amount of hope I have left.
