-Chapter 2-

Waking Up To Their New Reality

July 1, 2006

Silence. That's all they heard. Nothing else. Nathan finally had the strength to open his eyes, even though pain was shooting everywhere through his body. All he saw was a bright blue sky, so bright that he had to shut his eyes again. He took a deep breathe and opened his eyes, he had to know what was going on. It took him a while, but he finally got to a sitting position that didn't hurt so he could look around. He saw other people laying on what looked like sand. It took him a minute to recognize who they were though. He saw Lucas about 4 feet away from him and Haley about 7 feet away. When he saw her, his heart sank into his stomach, she was lying there so helpless, probably unconcious. There were others though, too. a blonde, a brunette, and a guy. They were scattered all over the place. What was this? He didn't remember anything, he didn't know where he was or why people he loved were there and people he didn't even know.

Suddenly Lucas inturrupted his thoughts. He was waking up and making groaning noises.

For the first time in he didn't know how long, Nathan spoke, but raspy of course. "Luke, wake up."

"Huh?" Lucas's voice was also raspy. "Nathan, where are we?"

"I don't know, I don't even remember how we got here." he said looking around nervously. "It looks like an island."

"Did we get pissed drunk last night or something?" Lucas asked confused while he tried to stand up but failed miserably. "I'm so weak."

"Me too, and I don't think we got drunk because look, there are other peop-" Nathan didn't even finish because something came to him. He had a picture of the blonde and the brunette in his mind, they were sitting beside a pool laughing. Then Haley hit him and the image was gone.

"What?" Lucas asked still cofused.

"I remember those girls from somewhere." he said confused.

Just then the other guy they didn't know woke up and started looking around. "What, who are you guys?"

"Who are you?" the Scott brothers both asked at the same time.

"Skillz, that's what my friends call me, where am I, and again, who are you guys?" the strange guy asked.

"We don't know where we are, and I'm Nathan, this is my brother Lucas." he said introducing them.

"Wait, this looks like an island." Skillz said stating the obvious.

"Yea..." Lucas said confused giving Nathan a 'what's up with this guy' look.

"The cruise ship." Those were the only words Skillz said. Nathan and Lucas remembered as memories came flooding back to them.

"Oh yea, the storm." Nathan said in realization.

The blonde started to wake up now. "Where am I?" she asked looking at the 3 guys confused.

"We were on the cruise ship remember, there was a storm." Lucas explained.

"Oh yea, hey there's the girl I met on the ship." she said pointing to the brunette.

"You know her?" Skillz asked. "What's her name, and your name?"

"My name is Peyton and her name is...umm...I think it was...Brooke." Peyton said trying to remember.

"Hi I'm Skillz."

"I'm Nathan."

"Lucas, his brother." he said pointing to Nathan.

After a while of sitting there thinking they decided to try and wake up the other 2 girls. They needed to think about what they were going to do, at this point they didn't even know what part of the world they were on.

Nathan went to Haley and tired waking her up by shaking her gently and calling her name. "Hales, Hales, wake up, it's me Nathan."

That didn't seem to work though.

Next Lucas and Peyton tired to wake up Brooke. "Hey Brooke, it's me, Peyton."

Nothing.

Lucas had an idea though. He got up slowly, but eventually he did it and started walking painfully towards the ocean. He got a handful of water and dumped it on her face, but not by her eyes because he knew it was salt water. She moved around a little and made a noise.

"Hey." her voice was raspy also so it was kind of quiet.

"Brooke, wake up." Peyton said shaking her lightly.

"What?" she asked confused jumping up. She regreted jumping upward as soon as she did it because she was in so much pain.

"The cruise ship got caught in the storm and for some reason were here now, on this..um...island I think." Peyton explained.

"Oh yea, the cruise ship...what! Oh my god, my stuff, my clothes!" she said starting to freak out.

"Sorry Brooke." was all Peyton could think of to say.

"Maybe Haley will wake up if I put water on her, too." Nathan said getting up slowly.

Sure enough, Haley started to wake up from the cold ocean water. "Nathan, why did you poor water on me...OW!" she said as she tried wiping off her face. "My wrist, why does it hurt so much!"

"Oh no, you probably broke it or sprained it when the ship capsized." Nathan explained.

"Oh yea, our trip...wait...were shipwrecked?" Haley asked knowingly and frightened.

Nathan nodded his head. "Here let me look at your wrist."

"It hurts, be careful." she said flinching as he took it in his hands.

"Girlfriend?" Brooke asked curiously.

"Wife." Lucas said. "And I'm his brother, Lucas."

He put out his hand and she shook it. "I'm Brooke Davis."

"Nice to meet you, even if we are...on an island..in the middle of nowhere." he said shedding some light on the situation. Brooke gave him an uneasy look, but he smiled slightly and it made her feel better.

"Your just going to have to lay it down on the sand for now until we find something for it." Nathan said laying it down gently.

"I know what will help." Haley said looking at Nathan and smiling then looking down at her wrist.

"Ha ok." Nathan said agreeing kissing her wrist.

"Thank you." she said happily.

Skillz cut in. "So, what do we do now?"

I have surprises yet to come, if you think it's gunna just be them then- YOUR WRONG! haha I don't know yet, we'll see lol:) I know that chapter was a little slow, but it's because it was a chapter where they just wake up and realize where they are. I promise more drama to come. There's gotta be drama if they're on a deserted island, right:)
