The Storm That Took Us Away

CHAPTER 5 ~Rachel~

I wake up with one thought crossing through my mind. Chris. He just started to kiss me and if I did stop we wouldn't have went that far. But I could tell he didn't want to stop and didn't want to either. I just keep thinking about my sister and if I'll ever find her. I slip out of the blankets and notice that Chris isn't there. He probably fell asleep in the sand. I go out the back door to check. I see him sitting up in the sand. He looks up at me and I walk away. He doesn't chase me or call my name. I go out to look for Emma. She has to be alive, I know it. As I walk out to the beach I can't help but think about her. I walk near the shore searching for a body. I walk down the shore as the water brushes over my feet and cools them off. I walk slowly and I'm not finding anything. I see seaweed and some rusted up stuff but wait, a surfboard! Emma could be near! I up to the surfboard that is snapped in half and I remember that when I sunk my leg was attached to the very long cord keeping me and the surfboard together. I look to find the core and see it. This cord looks about 5 feet long. I see the rest of it in the water and I dive in pulling on the cord. The cord went long but finally I found the end. I pull on the end and it seems heavy. I go underwater and tug on the cord. I think it's a body. I pull the cord out to the shore with everything I've got and it's a person. The dark brown hair is covering her face so I move it out of the way. Holy crap it's Emma. I then check her pulse to make sure she's still breathing. Yes she is. I then up it's the cord from her foot and lift her up. She is unbearably heavy. I try to make my way toward the house and I see Chris in the front. "Chris!", I yell. He looks at me and runs to me. And arrives and sees Emma. "Help me", I say. He then grabs her legs and I grab her back and we lift her to the house. We make it there and bring her into the room. We lay her down on the bed and I try to catch my breath. Thank god she's still alive. Jane walks in. She sees Emma unconscious on the bed. "Is she still alive?", Jane asks. "I checked her pulse and yes she is.", I say. I then put a towel around her to keep her warm. She looks freezing. I hug her even though she can't hug me back. Tears drip down my eyes. I can't believe she's alive. Jane and Chris then leave me with her alone. "Oh god thank you for paring her life.", I cry. I then lay my head on her chest. Minutes pass and I hear a cough. And then a couple more. Emma's waking up. I lift up my head. She moves up and lays her back against the bed. Her eyes open faintly and try to make me out. She manages to say my name. "R-Rachel". She then moves her arms to hug me. I hug back and she starts to tear up. "I thought you were.. dead", I say. She wipes her tears off her cheek and sniffles. "I thought I was too", she says. Thank god she's alive. Not only would I have lost my sister, I would have lost have friend. "I'll let you get some rest", I say. I keen over and kiss her scalp. I get up and leave the room. I walk to the kitchen and grab a fruit. I bite into it, making my mouth feel refreshed. The taste is sweet but tart. Chris walks in and suddenly stops when he sees me. We exchange looks for a little while then he walks to grab a fruit. He bites into it while staring at me. He finally says something. "How's Emma doing?", he says. "She fine", I grumble. He signs,"Are we going to keep acting like nothing happened last night?", he says. I stare at him. "Go find a girl your type, because this one just wants a friend.", I say. "But I want to be your friend!", he says. "You certainly want to be more than that.", I say. He doesn't say anything. He just keeps staring. "Oh, and by the way", I say. I then strike him across the face. He looks up and rubs his cheek. "I'm going to go talk to someone who won't hurt me", he says. He starts to walk to Emma's room. I then feel anger inside me wanting to be let out. I hit a basket filled with leaves and watch as it topples to the floor. I then let out a frustrated grunt. He gets on my nerves so much. Wait, just a few days ago I was his best friend, now he's my enemy. What has his island done to us? He starts to have feelings for me and clearly I didn't feel the same way. I just want him to back. I don't really care if now he's besties with my sister because frankly she deserves a slap in the face as well. She is the reason I'm on this island! She the reason we are all on this island! I can't believe she did that. What the hell was she thinking anyway? Maybe she'd get a higher score if she swam in a storm? I just want to burst in her room and yell at her. Maybe I'll come on to strong though. I thank god she's alive and then curse at her? That's just not who I am. But I am pissed off. I stomp to the room and listen at the door for a time to walk in. She's talking Chris but I can't really make out what they're saying. Then it suddenly gets silent, a perfect time to burst in. I open the and see something I probably shouldn't have. I cannot believe this. Chris and my sister.. kissing. Kissing? "WHAT THE HELL?", I yell. They both jump and stop kissing. They stare at me embarrassed. "This isn't what it looks like.", Chris says. "This is exactly what it looks like. You're kissing my sister! She is like 13 and you are 16! How can you be doing this?", I say. "We didn't mean to do this", Emma says. "Oh yea, first me then Emma? I cannot believe you Chris. What happened to my the boy who swam, the boy who played volleyball, the boy who's my best friend?!?", I say. I then shift my eyes the Emma. "And you. This is all your fault. You have decided that surfing is more important than our lives so you swim out in a storm. A storm!", I scream. "Rachel-", Chris says but I cut him off. "Oh don't you Rachel me! You are so stupid! Just decide to go around and kiss any girl you want and they'll fall into your little love triangle? Well it's not gonna work this time! Chris, I hope you get what you deserve, hate. And Emma, I hope you make the right choice.", I say. I burst out of the room filled with anger. Who does he think he is? He's certainly not Chris anymore. The Chris I know would never do this. The Chris I know would stick with me till the end. Well here's the end. I am no longer looking at Chris, talking to Chris, and certainly not kissing him! I'm leaving this place and taking my belongings with me. I go to tell Jane and George. They are sitting outside. I tell them what I'm doing. "We understand sweetie, if you ever need somewhere to go you know where to find us", Jane says. I thank them for all they've done. They hand me a backpack filled with essentials. I take it and thank them. "Keep this", George says as he hands me some papers. "It's a notebook, more like a diary of our life. It will help you. Be safe.", he says. I start to tear up. I hug him an Jane and say goodbye. I walk away, not saying goodbye to Chris or Emma. I have no place in my heart for them, now my focus is to survive. I walk through the hot, burning sand. I walk toward a tree filled with coconuts. I then look around me and they're all filled with coconuts. This would be a nice spot to set up. I feel like I've walked 5 miles. I put my backpack down and set up camp. It looks like I'll be living here for a long time.
