Alone

chapter 1

SO this is my first book! Eek so excited! Hope whoever is reading enjoys!!! 

Dear mom,

This is island is really scary when your on it all alone.

Sometimes I think you gave up on me. But your still looking for me, right?

Im almost out of food. What will I do then? Sometimes I think im gonna die on this island, I probably will. But if you guys hurry up on finding me I wont! Sorry... im tired I better go try and start a fire and fail now.

Sincerely,

Your daughter Anne, who is dying.... just kidding

I stopped writing, and put the only writing utensil I have down.

I got some wood and rubbed them together? I wasnt much of an outdoors person before I came on this island. Now my whole life is outdoors. I bet I stink.

I took my letter, and stuffed it in the empty glass bottle filled with all my other letters to my mom. I had only two pieces of paper left and I was running low on ink. I looked at my surroundings,  tall trees stood behind me, white sand and a blue ocean that led to death. All my fault... everything.

"Mom please? I already told katy I could go on the boat ride " "I already said no!" "But im 17 now and her mom is gonna be there!" "Anne please.." "mom..." "are you sure her mom is gonna be there?"

"Yes I promise you!" "Fine anne" "I love you, I love you, i love you!"

Her mom was not coming. I was lying. For some stupid boat ride to nowhere. It was getting dark. I decided to skip dinner since I only had five cans of food left. I was left to sleep in the damp sand, cold blistering night, starving, all because of my selfishness. It took a while to sleep like every night but I eventually did.

"I cant believe we are going all alone katy!"  "Welcome to the rebelious side chika"  We ran out of gas and stopped at some stranded island. I was nervous but thought katy brought some gas. "Uh oh..." she says

"Its ok katy just fill it with gas" I say "I think I forgot to bring gas.." my body goes numb. She quickly says something before I go crazy. "BUT its ok.. we will figure something out.. umm.. how bout I swim to somewhere that has people and get help... you wait on the island till I come back. " after we argue she gets me to agree and im left on the island, waiting, watching, walking, and stuffing my mouth with chips and soda.  Two days later she does come back, but not in the way I thought she would. She was washed up one shore, pale as a ghost, dead in my arms. I never found out how she died, maybe by drowning. The day after, I figured I would be on the island so I started writing letters to my mom I wad never gonna send and she was never gonna see. I thought my life was over. No... I KNEW my life was over.

I jolted awake, my body sweaty, and shaking. The same dream. I had it every night. I stood up and raked my fingers throught my light brown hair with a yawn. I thouht if my life before this. It was perfect. Like a dream come true. I never appreciated it until now... when it leaves me.

Anne Jones. Gymnast. Adored by boys. Lots of friends. I had light brown hair and eyes the color of the ocean I saw everyday for the past week. Freckles, which I hate. And lips that looked like I wore red lipstick everyday they were so red. I thought my life would be like every other girls they  have theyre life, they meet the true love of their life, they get married, they become old. If someone told me, your best friend was going to die and your going to be stranded on an island, no one knowing where you are, I would laugh.

Then I suddenly remembered, the boat! I had forgotten about it. I ran to the other side of the ocean, not being there since the first day. I climbed into the deserted, creepy looking boat. I walked through, I went into the bathroom and finally got to pee somewhere other than the ocean.

And the shower, I probably smelled like my grandpa's gym socks dipped in polluted water.  I let the warm water run over my body, feeling great.

And I got to change into new clothes, which consisted of black workout shorts and a pink tanktop, foranyone that cares... I felt fresh, and new, and actually happy for the first time this week.

I found a hairbrush and got to brush through my hair. I found a hair tie and tied it up, out of my face. I found some rama noodles and warmed it up in the microwave, and actually haf something I like other than canned beans. I got two bowls out and poured some noodles in each bowl. I finished my noodles and took the other bowl to the cave where katy was, I wouldnt want her to starve.

I ran back to the boat and immediately fell asleep on the warm, comforting bed. For four hours I slept dreaming of being saved and into the warm embrace of my mom.

The next two weeks went by quickly, I thought I would be saved so I decided to just keep eating, me and katy ate so much we were never hungry. Now here I am with no food left to give ourselves.  I regret it badly.

Ok, there it is, I know its really bad but it will get better, and for the people confused about the katy thing, she imagines her because she is kinda going crazy... hope that answers your questions! Ily guys
