GWEN'S POV
I was standing on the dock of a beautiful yacht after Owen showered victory over me, letting all the stress and pain fade away as I saw that awful, dramatic island fade into the distance. By teal and black hair blowing over the strong, cool wind with a blank stare looking at nothing but the blue of lake Wawanakwa.
"What ARE you looking at?" I heard a faint voice from behind me. I turned to see Lashawna looking back at me. Her brown drooping eyes told me she was worried. "nothing" I said in a faint voice. "Why don't you come inside and have some fun sugar?" she said trying to encourage me...it wasn't working. "No thanks, I'm not really in the mood for fun..." I said trying to be as happy as I could. But I was unaware of the trouble ahead, that this may be the last night for fun. A silence fell over us only to the sound of the waves and faint music from inside.
BRIDGETTE'S POV
Inside, I was having a blast hanging with Geoff and his friends, until I notice something was different, like something was missing... of course, my BFF's Lashawna and Gwen. They must be somewhere. I said to myself walking away from the sugar rushed crowd.
I went into our room were you found things everywhere. Suitcases, toothbrushes, hair brushes, clothes, hair dye, and beeping cell phones telling us we must have missed a couple calls. "We really need to check up on those." I said giggling to myself. As I walked around the little table I heard a crunch, crap I looked down to see my piggy bank that Geoff made me during the arts and crafts a while ago on the island. I pick it up looking at the picture inside, it made me smile. I know I thought it was cheesy before but now I thought it was the sweetest thing a person had given me. I picked up the broken pieces setting them on the table then trudging my way out of the room tripping over things I was trying not to step on.
I finally came flying out of the room landing on my back as I say the door close. I sat on the floor in the hallway looking up and down trying to see if anyone would see what happened but it was just the faint beat of music I heard. I finally got up and tried to brush of the dirt on my aquamarine hoodie and fixed my blond pony tale as I walked back to the commotion forgetting of what I was doing.
LASHAWNA'S POV
I finally got Gwen to give in to her worried expressions and weak sayings showing that she was really trying. We were walking back in when the wind started to pick up sending them falling into a rail as the boat started to rock from side to side. As I opened my eyes I looked to see waves crashing over the sides making the sky darker as if it was surrounding her. Gwen looked at her now with half opened eyes and a small but deep cut in her arm dripping blood. As soon as I could stand I held onto Gwen's unharmed arm and tried pulling both of us back inside. We made it in about 5 minutes after the incident happened as we tumbled in soak and wet from the huge waves crashing onto the dock. I saw Gwen holding her arm wincing in pain. "We should go get that checked out Gwen," I said with a sad look on my face, and I could feel it.
As soon as I got her to the nurse's quarters on the boat I was going to go get Trent to help her through it. "I'll be right back" I said as I slowly closed the door behind me. About half way down the hall I saw Bridgette walk up the me with a hopeful smile on her face. "Hey! I've been looking everywhere for you!" then she gave me a confusing look. "Wheres Gwen?" I looked at her, she had big green eyes looking very nervous now. "She's in the infirmary, no biggy." I said as I walked past her. Her worried eyes followed me to were I was going. "OK I catch...you...later...I guess" She said in a faint but hurt voice. I walked into the sugar rushed crowd now to find Trent.
TRENT'S POV
I was down by the exit with a half emptied soda can just watching everyone enjoy themselves. I don't know why but I had a lot in my head I guess because I felt something heavy on my chest. I knew something was wrong when the boat started to rock a lot more than usual. Then I heard a familiar voice as I turned around slowly to see a large black girl with a worried face. She walked over to me slowly making me a little more worried after every step she took.
"I need to talk to you." she said sternly tugging my arm. I let her do as she wanted and followed her out the door to the hallway, she waited for the doorway to close entirely and said that Gwen needed me right away. "But, why?" I asked with a worried tone. "I think you should see, she's down in the infirmary" As soon as I heard her say this I started to make my way to the infirmary tugging Lashawna's arm behind me.
GWEN'S POV
I felt something stinging as I sat up asking were I was. A rather large woman said I was in the infirmary. I felt the stinging sensation again, I tensed my body as I grabbed my arm. But my fingertips ran over the wound feeling strings laced into my skin. As I looked down I saw stitches. Holy crap, was it that bad? Then I heard footsteps getting louder every second. I heard a voice that I've wanted to hear all night, Trent. "Gwen!" he said as he made an unusual entrance of bursting in there. I looked at him with a what the hell!? and a sad look on my face. Until he came rushing over and hugged me as tight as he could trying not to hit the fresh wound on my arm.
"Trent?" I asked breathless. "Yeah?" He said relieved. "Can't...breath..." As he heard this his eyes opened and pulled away but arms still around me. "Sorry" He said with a small but cute smile, and I returned it.
