Yeah! Second chapter. Not a whole lot happens here, but it's really important, so stick with me.

Hazel had no idea how long she had slept. A day? Two days? It felt like weeks.

When she finally came to, Hazel was in a large white room that consisted of beds on wheels, green curtains, and that annoying poster that reads: "Hang in There". There was a neutral atmosphere, as if there had been ample happiness here, but also ample sadness. The air was filled with the relaxing scent of jasmine.

Either Hazel was in a group therapy session or the hospital, both of which she was all too familiar with.

Gazing down, Hazel realized that she was laying on one of the white beds. Her sheets were tussled, making it obvious that she had been unconscious for awhile. Scraps, bumps, and bruises were present all around her arms and face. However, Hazel felt fresh, like she had recently bathed. As confusion set in, the girl heard a familiar voice.

"Well, it looks like Sleeping Beauty is finally awake."

Hazel twirled around to meet the face of her all-too-perky brother. Tyler was wearing his most dazzling smile that usually had the girls squealing all over him, but for his twin, it only caused annoyance. Hazel's brother scrutinized her face and chuckled.

"You always seem to get beat up, don't you sister dear? You're beat up by bullies, wrestlers, football players; the list goes on."

"Whatever, Tyler," Hazel sighed.

Her brother only smiled more. "You don't remember what happened, do you?"

Tyler's tone and constant smirk always seemed to set off Hazel. Add that with her puzzlement, and you get one pissed chick.

"What do you mean by that?! Of course I don't remember… what are you wearing?"

At this point, Hazel noticed how anti-colorful Tyler was. He usually wore bright shirts in purple, blue, pink, or green, but now, he was dressed in a white shirt with white pants. When Hazel removed the covers from her bed and examined her clothes, she was wearing the same thing. The girl stared at her legs as if they had just grown scales.

"They're better than wet garments."

Hazel's head shot up. The voice came from behind Tyler. It was Kathrine's. Hazel at last noticed that Kathrine and Brooke were also in the room. Both of them had the same white outfit on, except Kathrine had a blue jacket as well. Hazel just decided that she was cold and moved on.

Kathrine stood next to Brooke who sat in a chair by the window. Kat looked weary and distracted, but she still gave a half smile to Hazel. Brooke on the other hand appeared petrified, like she witnessed the murder of a close friend. She seemed to have been crying recently as her eyes were swollen and red. Her knuckles were pale as she gripped her knees. Kathrine placed her arm around Brooke and spoke softly, trying to bring her best friend back into the world of the living.

Memories flooded back into Hazel's mind.

"Right, the explosion. We washed up on some island. The cute red head…"

Suddenly, Hazel jumped up. Her breathing was heavy and her eyes were the size of baseballs.

"Ou-our luggage! We had it on the boat," Hazel frantically explained. "Wha-what happened to our clothes and stuff?!"

Kathrine turned her gaze downward. "I'm sorry Hazel, but I think all our belongings were destroyed along with the ship."

Her tone made it seem like she blamed herself for the accident. Of course, Kathrine had nothing to do with the ship's… untimely end, but since it was her idea that made them go flying off the boat, everyone silently agreed that she was the most responsible.

A whimper was heard from Brooke. Obviously, there was still enough of her present to understand what was going on, but the water incident left Brooke too traumatized to move.

Even Tyler looked ready to cry. "My beautiful drawings… they're all gone! I'll never be able to redraw them all! Oh, woe is me!"

Normally, Hazel would have teased Tyler on his over the top reaction, but she was distressed too.

"My phone was in there! So was my ipod! Why does the world hate me?"

Now, instead of a hospital, the room became a full-fledged pity party. Tears were streaming down Brooke's already red eyes. Tyler started quoting the saddest of Shakespeare, something he only does when he's upset. Hazel was taking her anger out on the pillows, which now began to look like misshapen squashes. And Kathrine refused to remove her eyes from the floor.

At first, these four friends had everything they could want, but now, they had lost it all because of some engine failure.

"I see the shock is still in affect."

Each of the teenagers turned to see who had just spoken. The voice appeared to come from another teen dressed in a white doctor's coat and black pants. He had jet black hair and grey eyes with round glasses. He appeared to be the same age as the four friends, except there was an air of maturity hanging around him. The boy's smile was kind, but his eyes held no sympathy.

Hazel didn't know who this guy was, but she felt that he had no business butting into their affairs.

"Who are you, four-eyes?" Hazel bluntly asked. She crossed her arms and glared at the boy, as if he had just insulted her in some way.

The guy, on the other hand, looked shocked. Perhaps no one had ever been this disrespectful to him before. Hazel was pretty rude. Despite this, he quickly readjusted his glasses and calmly asked:

"I beg your pardon?"

Hazel glowered more. "You heard me. What's your name? Or do you just want me to call you four-eyes?"

The teenager sighed. "No, my name's Jin. However, most people usually call me D-"

Hazel cut him off. "Nice name Gen. Now, second question: why are we all dressed in these stupid white clothes?"

Jin was clearly being annoyed by Hazel's impolite interruptions, but he tried to remain composed.

"Your old clothes were wet and covered in sand. I assumed that you'd want fresh outfits on and those were the only ones I had in your size."

"That's not what I meant!" Hazel shouted. "I mean HOW are we in these clothes? I don't remember changing into them."

A slight blush ran across Jin's face. "We had to- ahem- change you into them while the four of you were passed out."

Now, Hazel had a light red blush. "You… undressed us?!

As expected, the girl was absolutely mortified. She continued to lie on her bed, mouth gaping. Jin's cheeks reddened even more.

"Actually Irene, my grandmother, dressed you in those clothes," Jin explained irritably. "I did, however, have to examine your bodies to check for any serious wo-"

"OH MY GOD! YOU PERVERT!" Hazel shrieked. Her face was the color of the setting sun, but Hazel still held her award winning glare.

Utterly embarrassed and exasperated, Jin pinched the bridge of his nose and squeezed the railing of a bed. Tyler quickly grabbed his sibling's waist to prevent her from attacking the innocent boy. In frustration, Hazel persisted to scream.

"YOU SICKO! I'VE NEVER BEEN SO VIOLATED IN MY LIFE! I SHOULD HAVE YOU SUED FOR ASSALT! ONCE MY DAD HEARS ABOUT THIS-"

This time, Tyler cut her off.

"Hazel, you moron, he's a doctor! It's his job to search for wounds."

Hazel's shouting ceased. She looked at the teenager no older than her with an expression of bewilderment. Tyler let go of Hazel and expected her to apologize for her jumping to conclusions, but instead, she said:

"Oh, that makes sense."

In unison, Tyler and Kathrine gave their heads a face-palm.

To make up for Hazel's lack of manners, Kathrine hastily ran to Jin.

"Oh, I'm SO sorry about Hazel! She's always been really rash and inconsiderate to people she doesn't know. I'm sure Hazel doesn't mean anything she's saying," Kat politely apologized. She appeared flustered, like she wanted to prove herself as a lady and not like Hazel. But why would she want to impress this guy?

Jin gazed up from the floor and smiled at her. "That is quite alright. You're not responsible for her actions, but I appreciate your kindness."

Kathrine didn't meet his gaze. She turned her attention to her shoes, smiling. But what surprised her friends the most was the fact that Kat was blushing. She couldn't have gotten a crush on THIS boy, could she?

Hazel was thoroughly confused, thanks to the crazy morning (or afternoon?) and the discovery that Kathrine actually had romantic feelings, but after Tyler's punch on the arm, she assumed that a 'sorry' was in place.

"Um, sorry for calling you a 'pervert' and for… everything else I did."

This time, Jin peered coldly at Hazel. She shifted uncomfortably, for it felt like the doctor was staring at her soul, seeing all the wrong Hazel had done in her life, all the pranks she pulled.

Though it didn't seem like he accepted her apology, Jin faked a smile and tossed out a half-hearted "no problem". To lighten the mood, the stubborn girl laughed a forced laugh.

"Ha, I'd hate to see what would have happened if I didn't know you were a doctor. I probably would have sued you for everything you have an-"

"Young lady, I don't think you and your friends are in a position to sue anyone here," Jin grimly said.

The way he said 'young lady' made it appear like he viewed himself above Hazel, but that's not what bothered the group.

"What do you mean by that? What 'position' are we in?" Tyler questioned.

Doctor Jin scanned each person in the room as an eerie silence hung over the teenagers. All they knew was that some thing was wrong, but what did they do besides nearly drown?

Finally, Jin's eyes fixed on Hazel. For half a second, a cruel smirk spread across his lips.

"You four need to come with me."

"Well, fuck," Hazel whispered.

Tyler kicked her in the shins for her language, but his sister just punched him back.

The four friends- Hazel, Tyler, Brooke, and Kathrine- as well as Doctor Jin were standing on the very same beach they washed up on. The sand was pearly white, there was a path leading to the town they were just in, and quiet waves splashed on the shore. Everything was as Hazel remembered except for one detail she didn't notice before.

Just up a little incline to the left, there stood a pile of stone and rubble right next to the beach. The wreckage appeared to have happened recently as some stones shifted around. What was left of the structure looked beautifully made and seemed to hold some important nostalgic feeling, but it was destroyed.

However, that didn't hold a candle to what the team saw next. Each teen nervously strolled up the incline and gazed inside the wall of slab.

Kathrine gasped. Brooke covered her mouth to stifle a scream. Tyler continuously mumbled: "No, no it can't be!" And Hazel simply stared in disbelief at the all too familiar and all too unwanted object inside the circle of debris.

Mixed in with the stone and bricks was a large metal portion of the outside of a boat called "The Midday Dream", the same boat that transported the friends half way to their destination.

The friends looked in horror at what laid in front of them. Their ship caused the demolition of these islanders'… thingy. No one was sure what the building used to be.

To answer their question, Jin spoke up. "That is our most beloved lighthouse. Or, at least, it used to be."

He sneered at Hazel. "It was valued at 500,000 gold."

Brooke nearly fainted at this news and Tyler had to catch her so that she didn't fall back into the uncontrollable sea. Kathrine was paler than Tyler's blond hair, looking as if she wanted to throw up whatever was left of her last meal on the boat.

Hazel, however, glared at Jin as he took way too much delight in her pain.

The cruel doctor sneered. "You are in a lot of trouble missy."

Well that was fun. Sorry Jin fans! I made him sound like a jerk, but he's only getting revenge for Hazel calling him a pervert. I actually really like Jin. Anyway, I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible, but school is killing me! X_X

P.S. A little shout out to XxMillionMidnightsxX: Thanks SO much for the review! ;_; You have no idea what that means to me! You really inspired me. Thank you!
