The Lost Kids (Book 2)

Chapter 3

*Jack J*
I opened my eyes. I started coughing immediately and limped away from the clouds. I grabbed my bags. Faintly, I heard my name. I turned my head back. No, it wasn't possible.

"JACK!" I yelled. There was no answer. I coughed and tossed my backpack outside. I moved past the rubble towards where Jack's voice came from.

"JACK! SAY SOMETHING!" I didn't hear anything so I moved some of the boards and yelled. It was hot. I saw the palm of my hand burn up. I used some material to move it and Jack was lying underneath. I kneeled down. He was passed out. I reached down and felt a pulse. Oh my god. He was alive. I reached down to pick him up. I was too weak from the crash. I threw his arm around me and I grabbed his waist.

"Jack?" He said.

"Yeah G it's me. Come on you have to walk." He started to move and together we got out of the burning rubble. I got outside and we walked to the ground and I helped Jack lay down and I lay beside him coughing and I passed out.

*Leigh*
I awoke with a start. Somehow I was out of the plane and in front of some water. I coughed and threw up. Yuck. I reached over to the water and started drinking.

"Jack?" I yelled when I got my voice back. He didn't answer.

"Hello?" I called.

"Who are you?" Some middle aged guy appeared from the woods.

"Who are you?"

"Justin Harding. I was on the plane crash and I saw you move so I picked you up and took you here."

"I'm Leigh." I coughed and drank some more water.

"Thanks for saving me but I need to find someone." I said standing up. I cried out and collapsed back down.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

"It's my ankle."

"Yeah you can't go anywhere. I already signaled some people. They are here to get us."

"You don't understand, I have to find some people!" I argued

"I'm sure whoever it is, they are fine." He reached over to pick me up.

"Come on, let's take you to the helicopter."

"No! I can't live without him! JACK! JACK!" I screamed. We reached the copter and he put me in and climbed in after me. The doors closed and flew off.

*Jack G*
I woke up. Jack was still lying next to me.

"Jack, wake up." I said. He awoke.

"What happened?" He asked.

"The plane crashed."

"Mallory?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I don't know where-" I got cut off by someone yelling my name.

"Leigh?" I got up and started looking around. Suddenly a helicopter took off from the ground. I looked at Jack and he and I started yelling and moving our hands around. It didn't see us. I dropped back to the floor.

"Come on, let's find some water." Jack said. I nodded and we started walking.

*Mallory*
"Paper." A nurse said. She was looking at the front page.

"Bummer about this plane crash." She said. I looked at it and immediately covered my face.

"No." I said tears pouring down my face. Jack, my beautiful husband, my boyfriend since high school. Gone. My best friend, Leigh, my amazing smart beautiful angel, gone. My brother, Jack, my funny dumb brother, gone. They were all gone.

Forever
