The Island

Day one -Intro-

*thatcherjoe*

I needed air

That was all I could think when my body jolted me awake floating in the sea. All i could think when my friends lay around me, dying.

I scrambled up and breathed in the beautiful air, only a moment before I heard caspar scream my name.

"JOOOOOOOEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"

"IM FINE CASPAR! GET THE OTHERS UP!"

I could hear people, screaming for each other, Marcus was lifting an unconscious Naomi onto a peice of the plane.

I didn't have time to digest how insane the last hour had been. every body had too be safe.

Three huge chunks of the plane were lay near us. Alfie and Jim were lifting Louise and Zoe onto one, while Tanya helped them up. Tyler and Connor were lifting Troye onto another, and while Caspar was being lifted up by Naomi on a peice of the jet right next too me, Marcus beckoned too me.

"Come on Joe!"

But something wasn't right. Someone was missing.

"LOUIS!"  I screamed.

"Joe, come on." Marcus said, softer this time, and his voice was sad.

I spotted long dreadlocks unfurling from under our peice of jet.

Swimming over as fast as I could, i pulled the dreadlock

"Joe, please," Marcus begged, his voice thicker now.

Louis was very still. His eyes were dull, and his face was blank.

"He's unconscious." I stated, as if saying it would make it so, but I was just to afraid to speak the awful truth.

I prayed as I slowly touched his neck. A peice of bone was sticking out where it definetley shouldn't be.

"Joe." Marcus said, definetley crying.

This time I wasn't reluctant. I went.

I left Louis's cold corpse with the other passengers gone.

I was crying. We all were.

Alfie, Marcus and Tyler started screaming plans at eachother, but it was useless. We had no food, shelter or drinkable water.

We could only swim.

We took it in turns. One of us would hold the back of the boat and swim along for a few minutes. It was hard because metal was heavy and with all of our added weight, we were getting about half a mile an hour.

It getting dark when Caspar stood up and screamed.

A dark silhouette was approaching. Either land or help

Or pirates, Naomi added.

We looked around too tell the others, when we realized we were all alone. We could just make out almost a dot in the distance.

We screamed and screamed. Nothing.

Marcus and me swam Naomi and Caspar for a while, and then we arrived.

We collapsed on the sand. Caspar fell asleep instantly.

Me and Naomi and Marcus stayed up a little bit, talking about what to do in the morning, but Marcus went to sleep quickly too.

"Do you think the others are OK?"

"Of course. Jim and Alfie wouldn't have let anything happen to the girls, and Tyler, Troye and Connor are so brave already."

"Joe?"

"Yes?"

"That's a lie isn't it. I'm not stupid"

"Its not a lie, it's a possibility. Now go to sleep."

"Joe, I can't believe Louis died. I won't be able to sleep thinking about Louis"

"The don't. I know its awful, but we don't want too loose ourselves in sadness do we?"

And she was asleep.

At some point, I fell too sleep too.
