He took the chocolate, walked back to the door, opened it, and went back inside. Jack and I looked at each other starting to giggle. Jack looked at Roger who was glaring at him.
"I'm going to my room. Anyone who wants to come with me, can. If you'd like to stay here with Ralph, you may," Jack said looking at everyone.
The littluns nodded and started walking towards the door. Jack looked at me, smiled, and followed the littluns. Roger glared at me and then followed Jack. They all went inside and I sighed as the door shut.
I turned around and looked at the sky. The nippy breeze pierced through my skin like a bunch of little knives. I started to shiver, ignoring the sharp pain in my side. I felt the presence of someone right next to me so I glanced over and saw the twins. Samneric looked at me smiling.
"I didn't know you were that strong Ralph," Sam mumbled, while he shoved the piece of chocolate in his mouth.
"Those bruises look like they hurt. You should get them looked at," Eric immediately replied after Sam.
I chuckled and shook my head.
"Thanks, but I'm fine. It was just a friendly fight."
"Friendly?! You call that friendly?!"
They both looked at me like I was insane.
"Well yeah, I mean it wasn't like he was going to kill me. He had no weapons."
They both looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"We still think you're crazy for even thinking it was friendly. Just be careful around him."
I nodded knowing that even though they were with Jack on the island, they still cared about me. I looked out towards the sea once again.
"You look busy so we'll go," Sam said, lightly chuckling.
"Have a nice night Ralph," Eric mumbled.
"You two guys," I replied, smiling.
They both walked towards the door and went inside. Even though today had its flaws, being saved and finally getting the old Jack back makes this day the best in the world. I smiled again, saw my favorite star, and wished that I'd get to see my parents again. I went over to the door, opened it, and went down into the dining room. Drunk soldiers were everywhere. I looked at them and tried my hardest not to burst out laughing. I trotted into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the bowl before opening the main door. I bit into the apple, sneakily walked to my room, opened the door, and went into my room. I noticed something shiny on my cot as I walked over to my closet to grab pajamas. As I got closer, I recognized what it was. There laying on my cot was Piggy's broken glasses along with a note which said:
"Dear Ralph,
I forgot I had these with me when we were rescued. You'd appreciate Piggy's glasses a lot more than I do since you were closer with him than any of us when we were on the island. I'm sorry again for what I did but just because I'm sorry doesn't mean you are chief. I'd rather not talk to you for a while considering what we went through. Have a nice night, Ralph.
Sincerely,
Jack Merridew"
I smiled and set the letter down. I can't believe he did that. I picked up the glasses and held them in my hand carefully. Memories of Piggy filled my head causing me to burst into tears. He didn't deserve to die. Nobody deserved to die on the island. I'm sorry Piggy. I'm sorry for being a major jerk to you when I shouldn't have been one. I'm sorry Simon. I'm sorry for taking part in killing you.
I set the glasses on the desk along with the note, grabbed my pajamas, changed, and laid on the cot starting to cry harder. I'm gonna miss those two more than I've ever missed someone before. It's gonna be hard to recover from this entire mess but after I'm done, I'll have learned lots about who I am as a person. I hope everyone can recover from this. I guess that when people are put into those situations, we do turn into the person we don't want to be. For Jack, it was being a killer. For me, it was being arrogant and trying to make people do what I want them to do. Being that kind of person led to people's deaths and our entire system of running everything crumbling into pieces.
I stayed awake thinking about everything for about an hour before I fell asleep to the sounds of the water hitting the side of the ship.If this gets enough attention I'll consider making an entire fanfic just on this.
