Summary: Jay finds his brother, Ved, on The Island. The excitement and happiness fades away quickly when Ved treats his older brother with lack of respect and disgust.
Chapter One: All Aboard
The Mall Rats are on the boat, 15 days in, knowing there are more days to come...
"I think we may have a problem," said the owner of the boat, in an unsure tone.
"What do you mean a problem? What's happening? Is there something wrong?" a worried Jay asked. There were children on the boat; if anything happened to them he would never forgive himself. So as soon as the boat owner told him that the food supply was running out, he stood up and got in to his commander mode.
"Okay, then we'll need to stop on an island to get more food. Hopefully they will be inhabitants where ever we stop. They can help us out. Who knows, that might even be our new home."
"Well, I don't think it's such a great idea to stop in to an inhabited island, what if the people don't want us there? They'll fight for their land, Jay," snorted Amber out loud, in an obvious tone, embarrassing Jay in front of everyone on the boat.
This was starting to annoy Jay ever since the second day on the boat. She was starting to annoy him. Maybe it was the fact that she was cranky, tired, fed unwell, whatever the situation was, it wasn't making everyone else's life better at the moment.
As she turned around, he glared darkly at her. Jay shook his head with a roll of the eyes and gave a deep sigh.
"Amber," he said stern fully. "I don't think it's the best time to be negative," he finished as she turned around. Amber gave him a heart broken look, which for some odd reason, did not affect Jay.
"You're attitude isn't helping anyone." He continued speaking to her like if she was just, some person, not his lover.
Everyone had to sleep on the floor of the boat. Water would constantly splash in during their sleep and Jay would wake up to people yelping and yelling random things. Of course, Lex's "random things" would always make him laugh (Lex being the pervert that he is.)
One night, he woke up to Brady crying. That was the night that Amber died.
