"Dani.. Dani.. Dani!"
I opened my eyes slowly, seeing nothing but a blurred figure in front of me. I was coughing.. A lot. But something was coming out when I did so. Water? It had to have been.
"Daniella, can you hear me? C'mon, speak up if you can. Daniella?"
"Wha- What?" I asked as my eyes had finally opened fully. I still couldn't make out the complete figure in front of me. All I noticed was brown, curly hair and a dark blue t-shirt.
"Daniella! Your alive! Good, okay. Okay."
"Wha- What's going on?" I asked.
My vision was starting to come back completely, and I realized that it was Harry bending over me. He looked scared.. Scared out of his mind at that. He looked like he had been crying, and for some reason he was all wet. Like he had been swimming or something of that sort. His brown curly hair was everywhere, and it looked like a giant wet mop on top of his head. His green eyes were full of tears, and his face was puffy. He looked exhausted.
"I'll tell you in a minute, when your fully ready. I'm going to help you to that tree over there, and you need to stay calm and rest. Okay?" His voice rang in my ear. He started to put his hands around my waist, but I stopped him before he could lift me up.
"Don't touch me." I scolded.
"But, I was just trying to he-"
"I don't care, don't touch me. I can take care of myself." I interrupted.
I slowly stood up, realizing just how weak I was. For some reason, I could barely stand up on my own. I don't know why, but I needed to sit down somewhere again. Standing up really wasn't the best idea for me. Maybe I should have let Harry help me..
I walked up to the tree and plopped down next to it. I saw Harry walking quickly to join me, with a worried expression on his face. He sat down by the tree next to mine and looked at me.
"Okay, I'm ready? Tell me what happened. Why are we all wet?" I asked, with an angered tone.
"Well.. Uhm. Okay. So, uhm.. Basically.. The plane we were in.. The one that was taking us to Disney Land for Senior Skip Day? It uhh.. It crashed. In the middle of the ocean.." I looked at Harry as he spoke. His voice was shaking, and I watched as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"What? Where's everyone else?"
"Their gone. I tried to save them, but they were gone before the plane even crashed. You were the only one left that could actually be saved, besides myself. You were the only one that could somewhat swim out of the whole group," He began, his voice shaking even more. "I swam over to you, and you were almost gone, too. You were starting to become too tired to swim, so I helped you all the way here. You passed out before I got you on land.. But your okay, now."
I looked at him for a minute, unsure of what he said was true. He was starting to cry, harder than he was before. I started to think of how this was possible.. Then I remembered. The plane was on fire, the oxygen masks, the screaming students.. I felt the blood drain from my face.
"G- G- Grace.. R- R- Rider.." I looked at Harry who nodded his head.
I felt the tears roll down my cheeks. I burried my face into my hands as I cried. I cried like I never have before, and I didn't care who saw me do it. Grace, Rider, my friends. They were all dead, and they were all out there somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
I felt a hand rubbing my back, comforting me while I cried.
"Shhh.. Daniella, it's going to be okay. We're going to get out of here. I promise."
I nodded my head, letting him comfort me. There was no reason to explode on him right now, because really, he was helping me. I looked up to see what was surrounding me.
There was ocean everywhere. I don't think there was one place where there wasn't any water besides the little island the two of us were on right now. There was a little bit of woods behind us, but just enough for a couple of animals to live in. If you looked in front of me, it looked like we were on a little beach.. With the nice, dry sand beneath our feet and the warm sun above us along with the bright blue water ahead. I looked farther out into the ocean, and felt the blood draining from my face once again.
There, I saw smoke coming from the water a couple yards away. I saw some pieces of medal sticking up too, and there were other little pieces floating to the shore, joing Harry and I. I started to shiver as Harry wrapped his arms around me, comforting me even more. I started to bawl again, remembering all of the people that were in that plane with us. How come out of all fifty of those students in that plane, only me and Harry were the ones to survive? Surely, more of them knew how to swim just as good as the two of us could.
"Maybe we should go try to find some shelter. Or food, even." Harry spoke.
"Y- Yeah." I agreed.
"You stay here while I go get some food. Just stay here." He said, before getting up and walking into the little woods.
I sat there and thought about everything that was happening. The two of us.. Daniella Sheer and Harry Styles on an island. Stranded. With nowhere to get home, and nowhere to go. Suddenly, I felt a ting of anger in me, like I wanted to punch something. I bawled my hands up in a fist, and started clenching the dirt beneath me.
Within minutes, Harry was back with a couple of bananas that he found in a nearby tree. When he saw the anger in me, he stepped back a few feet, terrified of what was going to happen.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
"Does it look like I'm okay!?" I basically screamed, throwing my arms up in the air.
"Look, Dani, we're going to get through this. I'm sure we won't be here for very long."
"I don't care what your sure of! When was the last time you were right about something!? Never! I don't have time for you and your stupid thoughts right now, Harry! We are never going to get home! Ever! We mine as well just sit here because there's nothing more we can do!" I screamed again.
"Whoa. Daniella, you need to calm down. I understand your angry, and I understand your scared, bu-"
"No, you don't understand! You never will understand! All you care about is yoursel-"
"Daniella! You know nothing about me, and have no right to judge me at a time like this right now! Me and you are stranded. STRANDED. On an island together, and whether you like it or not, we have to stick together! There's nothing more we can do but stick together! So just calm down, and be quiet for five minutes! I'm sick of you judging me, and acting like you know everything about me!" Harry screamed back, cutting me off.
I looked at him in shock, not knowing what to do next. I have never heard him scream at anybody, ever. I looked at the ground, taking a minute to calm myself down.
"I'm sorry." I said quietly, when I was ready.
"Me too.." He whispered.
"I didn't mean to blow up at you like that. I was just angry.. And upset, and confused. I mean, I should be thankful that you saved me, and that I have someone with me right now. So, thank you. And I agree that we should stick together, too." I said, speaking slowly.
"Okay," Harry said. He walked over to me and stuck out his hand in front of me. "I promise to stick by your side, if you stick by mine."
I looked him over before taking his hand and shaking it. "Deal."
