Hello: First off, I'd just like to remind you all that I do not own any of the characters, or anything for that matter, related to this main story. I've only created a story dealing with the end of the 2nd season, like many others here. Thanks and don't forget R&R.
F29D: Nothing but Hope
The Beginning
'It has been one whole day since we've left camp. We have enough water to go around, and we know where to find food, but still I can't help but feel that we are forgetting something important…'
"Jackson! Stop daydreaming, let's move it!" Jackson was snapped out of thought by the annoying bossy Abby. He only wanted to help her out back at camp, but she didn't want any of it. Jackson adjusted his backpack and looked at Abby with that serious face of his and she glared back a, "don't mess with me" look.
Jackson and Melissa had decided to join Abby and Eric on the adventure to the West Side of the Island. It has grown a little awkward between the two of them due to the whole fiasco at camp with Jackson flirting with Taylor when he had already said that relationships weren't meant for the island. Jackson didn't know where he stood with the two girls. He only just got to know them, and he didn't know which one, or even if both, he liked more than a friend. He knew he'd have to make up his mind on where he stood sooner or later.
Night was beginning to fall onto the four courageous, or stupid, search party members. There was no sign of the other two kids or the captain who had been separated from Abby during the huge storm in the first 10 days on the island. The crew decided to unpack their stuff and set up a temporary camp for the night.
"What if… what if they're-" Eric began to say looking up at the stars in the clear night sky, but he was cut off by the tempered Abby within a second.
"Don't think like that! What's wrong with you?! They're okay… they're just farther off… They made it to the shore on the other side I bet, yeah, that's it! We start searching west again tomorrow!" Abby stated, or more ordered, and then fell asleep before anyone knew it. Eric looked at Abby with shock, or better like it terror, then a solemn face crept upon him and he continued to gaze at the stars above.
Melissa stared at the new Abby, still upset with the changes she gained from the treacherous jungle, she then looked away and readied herself for bed. Melissa didn't know what she was doing here with these three. She wanted to come alone to make sure everyone was safe, but the tension in the air was killing her.
"Good night, Eric…" and that was all Mel said before she dosed off. Jackson was left there sitting with his arms crossed over his knee caps. Eric looked back and forth between the two of them with that smile of his and gave a laugh, but with one glare from Jackson, Eric shut up and turned over on his side to sleep. There Jackson was, still pondering everything that had just happened between the past few days and now.
'What am I going to do?' and with that Jackson turned over to face no one but the darkness of the jungle. Sleep was all he wanted, but the confusion kept him awake more than half the night. His gray eyes looked extremely sad looking into empty space, a glaze passed over them and he was asleep before he knew it.
