Previously

Still weak from the pain, she quietly said, "Jackson, thank you." He looked at her and smiled, and asked, "For what?" He grabbed her hand gently, and started rubbing it calming her down even more. "For saving my life." He leaned forward a little and kissed her softly, but passionately on her lips, "Anything, for you. Mel, I know I've been distance a little lately, but its only because I didn't know if I liked you or not. I know what I said earlier about us waiting until we got back home. But I don't know if we can wait that long, Mel, I love you, and I can't live without you."

She smiled lightly, and kissed him softly and gently but passionately on the lips, like he did to her. They made out for about thirty minutes, until finally they both fell asleep, with Jackson's arms wrapped around Mel protectively. It was a sight to see when everyone wakes up in the morning.

Chapter Two:

The next morning Melissa was the first one up; she was still sore from last night so it was really hard to move. She looked around her and felt a body next to her; she looked toward the body and saw that it was Jackson. Suddenly memories flooded back to her about last night, and all that had happened. Mel smiled; she saw his hand was lying gently on her stomach below the cut. She smiled again and gently grabbed a hold of it and started rubbing it. She looked back up at Jackson and saw that he was waking up. He smiled when he saw that Melissa was up, she smiled back. They kissed gently but passionately, after that first one they made out for a few more minutes. That is until Jackson accidentally touched her wound, she moaned in pain.

He gasped and said, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I completely forgot, are you ok?"

She nodded to Jackson that she was ok, just in a lot of pain. Jackson looked away; although, she said she was ok he still didn't want to cause any more pain for her.

"Do you want to go outside?" Jackson asked her. She nodded yes, and with that he gently picked her up from the ground and took her outside.

Just like before the storm had torn everything apart, he saw the others standing outside looking around trying to find whatever they needed. Jackson gently put her down on a towel that Daley had brought out for her. Melissa looked around her; she saw that the storm had ruined everything. She started crying a little, because now she knew that they really had to start from scratch. Everything has been destroyed; but what they didn't know, is that the plane was also destroyed.

Jackson saw that Melissa was crying, he bent down towards her and wrapped his arms around her as she sat up, and he gently rocked her back and forth. He knew that everyone was watching him, but he didn't care. He didn't care that everyone knew about him and Melissa; all he cared about right now was taking care of Melissa. He loved her more than anything in the world, and all he wanted to do was to be there for her. Especially now, everyone needed someone who can be there for them.

He whispered in her ear, "Everything will be alright, I promise. We will be rescued, and if we don't I'll be here with you." He continued to rock her back and forth; finally she seemed to calm down because she had fallen asleep in his arms. He gently laid her back down on the ground, and got up to discuss the situation with the others.

Taylor and Eric seemed very distance from everyone, and they were excluded out of the group. Jackson noticed this, but figured it was nothing. At least that's what he thought; he didn't remember what they did to him and Melissa. He never realized that Taylor and Eric were the cause of Melissa running away, and almost dieing. He saw Lex came back running, he knew that there was bad news.

"You… you guys, there's something that you should see." He said still trying to catch his breath. At this point Melissa woke up, and heard what was going on. Jackson gently picked her up and carried her where Lex was in the front. Once they got to the point that he wanted them to see, they realized that this was the point at which they had left the plane.

Jackson looked around, and still carrying Mel, found pieces of the plane scattered everywhere. Mel saw this to and she started crying, so did Daley and Taylor. Jackson cradled Melissa, and saw that Eric and Nathan were doing the same. Lex looked around at all of the debris from the plane, he was trying to find the radio stuff. All he found was scarps of what was left of the radio, which also included his mp3 player. He sighed heavily and walked back towards the group, he went towards Daley and her and Nathan let him in the hug. As soon as he was hugging his stepsister, he started crying.

Jackson continuously rocking Melissa back and forth, he kissed her head every now and then and then went back to rocking her. She finally calmed down a little, and he looked down and realized that she was asleep. He looked up towards the others and saw that Daley, Lex, and Taylor were all asleep.

"You guys, we should get the girls and Lex back up to the tent, they need the rest. While there sleeping we can figure out what were going to do." Whispered Jackson. They all nodded, Eric had gone first to put Taylor up in the tent, and then went to help Nathan with Daley and Lex. Jackson was the last one; he gently picked her up again, and carried her towards camp and set her down gently. He kissed her forehead like the others did and went away to let her rest.

Once back outside, he saw that Nathan and Eric were talking. Eric was still a little distance from the group, along with Taylor. He just couldn't understand why, but for now he might as well forget about it. He looked up at Nathan, he looked worried, and so did Eric. He was worried to but he didn't want to show it.

"You guys, what are going to do? With the plane gone, rescue planes can't see anything but the island. And what are we going to do about the girls? They are so worried, frankly I am too." Confessed Nathan.

"I don't know Nathan, I'm especially worried about Melissa, with her injury she can't do anything for a while." Jackson said worryingly.

Nathan sighed; he looked towards Eric who was sitting quite away from the group. Jackson looked over at him to; he knew what was bugging him. He walked over to Eric, and sat next to him.

"Eric, yes what you did to Melissa is wrong. But I forgive you, because you brought Melissa and me together; and I've been trying to get together with her since well a little bit before I found out that she liked me. Eric I'm not mad, I don't know about Melissa. But we need to stick together, especially now; with the plane gone, we need each other's support. I just don't understand how you could possibly do something like that, especially after she saved your life. What made you do it?" He asked, trying to be as nice as possible.

Eric turned towards Jackson and said, "Ok, first of all; I'm glad that you're not mad at me. And secondly, it wasn't even my idea it was Taylor's. But don't be mad at her, she told me some stuff that she hasn't told the group at all. I'm not telling you, until she says its ok for me to. Jackson, I will tell you this; I love her very much. And when I told her that, she was of course shocked at first, but she got over it and like you and Mel, were also together. Jackson, what she told me was stuff about her past, and what has been happening to her lately. She's had a rough time with her parents, and friends. After she and Nathan broke up, she's been quite distant lately. Like at school she has, one time during school I had asked her what was wrong. She looked at me shocked, because I never used to talk to her. And I noticed that she had been crying, I asked her again what was wrong. But she didn't answer, I took her to the nurse and when she had gone back to lunch, she was fine. I couldn't understand what was going on, but then last night before we went to bed; she told me why she was crying. I can't tell you until she says its ok for me to tell. Jackson, you just have to understand that she has a rough life; and I'm sure you have too. But, just don't yell at her ok. That's all I ask of you, is to not yell at her."

Jackson looked at him, and nodded and said, "I won't yell at her, but I don't think we should even worry about what had happened when you two did do that. Because right now, we need to worry about how were going to survive, especially with the plane gone."

Eric nodded, and saw that the girls were starting to wake up, he saw Taylor come out and noticed that she was crying a little. He walked up to her and let her cry on his shoulder; he saw Daley and Lex come out to. They walked over to Nathan and Daley curled up to Nathan, while Lex just sat there and stared out into the ocean.

Jackson went into the tent, and saw the Melissa was awake and crying. He cradled her in his arms, and rocked her gently back and forth. He kissed her forehead a couple of times, and asked her, "Do you want to go outside?" she nodded yes.

He picked her up gently, and carried her outside; she looked around and saw everyone crying. He set her down on the towel that one of the girls had brought out. He continued to rock her back and forth calming her down. He wiped away her tears, and kissed her on the lips. He knew that he had to be strong for the group, which was going to be hard. Because when he sees Melissa crying and everyone else, it's hard for him not to start crying. He gently bit his lip so he wouldn't, which stopped him, for now.

As he sat by Melissa, he saw that Taylor had fallen asleep in Eric's arms. He looked over towards Nathan and Daley, Daley was still awake, but Lex had fallen asleep in her arms to.

"Eric, Daley, why don't you put Led and Taylor in the tent, we need to set up camp again. Look for food, and see if the water is still good." They both nodded, and carried Taylor and Lex back to the tent.
