Marooned with 1D

Marcy's secret

CHAPTER 9

MARCY POV

After everyone finished their fruit we went to bed. the boys took two huts and we took two huts. We were going to build another one in the morning so it would be two per hut. I saw Zayn, Niall, and Liam go to one while Harry and Louis went to another. Nicole and I shared a hut while the others shared the last one. When Nicole and I got settled she told me we needed to talk.

"What's wrong?" I said. Then she told me about the whole scene she had with Zayn in the jungle, It was too dark to see her face so I couldnt tell what her emotions were.

"aaanndd that's bad?..." I said after she finished.

"Are you kidding? Zayn said he wouldn't let anything hurt me, that's almost like professing his love, that's awesome!!" she said excitedly. I laughed and eventually we were both squealing.

"it seems like everyone is paired up with someone and everyone seems pretty happy about it except... what's going on with you and Louis? you are both always looking at each other, then looking away when the other see's you. What's going on, you guys seem perfect for each other!?" Nicole stated.

"Will you keep it down! Someone might hear you!"

"Who gives a crap!?"

"I DO!" i basically screamed. then Nicole looked at me, I couldn't see her face but I know that she was just staring me down with her blue eyes, peering deep into my soul until I reveal the truth. eventually I gave in.

"Ok,fine, you win." I said. then she squealed.

"There's just something about him, the way he walks and talks. The way that he looks at me. Even the way he smells, that is just so familiar. When I look into his eyes all I see.... is the sea. The darkest part of the ocean, the most dangerous." I started

"Marcy..." Nicole said. But I continued.

"He makes me feel weird inside, like as if he was looking not at me but through me. as if he could tell all my secrets. it scares me. But not as much as he seems so right, so familiar. He reminds me of something. And for the longest time I just never knew what..." I guess you could say I took a dramatic pause to think, when it hit me, what was so recognizable.

"Marcy... don't." Nicole knew where this was headed, and tried to steer it the other way but I wouldn't let it, I just had to get it out.

"No Nicole! he reminds me of him! everything about him, he even looks like him. everything about Louis is him.  He is Nate!" I said, my blood was flowing and I was breathing hard. During my speech I realized I had started standing. "its all there Nicole, he's Nate... OK, he has always been Nate. That is why I cant be with Louis,that's why I act like i do around him. He brings back all those memories. And when I look into his eyes. Those beautiful, dark, dangerous blue eyes, all i see is Nate and how I just watched him DIE." at that I ran out of the hut and onto the beach, where I cried until I didn't think I could cry anymore, little did I know there were two boys listening outside the hut.

LOUIS POV

I didn't know what to think. Harry had to go pee and asked me to go with him in case any strange animals attacked him. On are way back we could hear voices being raised and then softened. The only way to hear them though was if you were right outside the hut. Harry and I stopped to listen to conversation between Marcy and Nicole.

"There's just something about him, the way he walks and talks..." Marcy started. I soon realized that she was talking about me. I never realized that I made her feel that way, and was immediately ashamed. Until she brought up Nate.... who was that? Obviously an ex-boyfriend but.... what happened? Soon Marcy had finished her speech and ran out of the hut not seeing us bursting in tears. Nicole followed her out of the hut when she saw us. she stared at us.

"Uh, we were uh, i had to uh... ya." Harry said, he too was shocked at what he just heard. Nicole stared at us as if complemtating. then she sighed.

"I guess you guys heard that, huh? come inside I guess you guys should hear the story." Nicole said then went inside the hut. We followed her inside. and sat down next to her .

"What was that all about?" harry said. Nicole sighed then started her story.

"Summer going into Junior year of high school, Marcy had a boyfriend.... Nate. They had been dating since freshmen year and were madly in love. One passion that they both shared though, was the ocean and surfing. They would both have surfed together everyday if they could have. It was a cold day in the morning in the middle of June. School had just gotten out 2 weeks earlier. Marcy, the girls, and I met up with Nate and some other friends. None us knew how to surf so we just left that to Nate and Marcy. They were in the ocean waiting for a wave when.... when Nate got pulled under. Marcy screamed and we didn't know what was going on. Until the water turned red. Nate and a great white shark both appeared from the ocean. Nate was screaming Marcy's name asking her to save him. But she was terrified. what was she supposed to do? Nate said her name one more time before he got pulled back under and didnt come back up. we called to cops and the coast guard whoever we should call to come while Marcy came back to shore as fast as any of us have ever seen her swim before." Nicole took a deep breath before continuing her story.

"Marcy was torn after the attack. She never surfed again, and never went to the ocean. It took us a year before we could even get her to back to the beach, even then though she wouldnt go in the water. She would never admit this but sometimes i think that she believes Nate will reincarnate into something and destroy her somehow, because she didnt save him. But, I think he loved her too much to do that though." Nicole had finished her story and was trying her hardest to see the boys' reaction. Harry was mortified, he had never heard a story like that one before. How could something so traumatizing happen to someone as sweet as Marcy. Louis' face was like a stone. He was angry at himself for bringing back those terrible memories. For reminding Marcy of Nate. And if Nicole's theory was right, Marcy might be in pain because of me.

I got up from the sand floor and Marched out of the tent. I was walking toward the beach when Harry ran up next to me.

"Louis wait!" He said, he ran in front of me so that I had to stop and tried to catch his breath. "What ar- what are, WHOOO, what are you gonna do?" he said still breathing hard.

"I need to talk to Marcy." I said, my face set.

"Do you think that's the best idea?" he replied.

"I...I dont know.. i just... I gotta tell her Im sorry. For making her feel this way. Ever since I first saw her I just had this deep desire to be with her. But I dont think that's gonna end up being that way I need to sort things out with her." After I said that Harry"s face softened.

"Ok Boo-bear," he said. "You do what you gotta do." then he walked away leaving me to walk over to Marcy. Who was sitting in the sand looking out at the dark ocean in the dark night.
