A/N: Thanks for all the follows, favourites and reviews. I'm really enjoying writing this story and I'm over the moon you all are.
I know the chapters aren't the longest but there is so much to get through that I don't want to clutter all the days together, I want to spread out events on different days. Also I'm able to get the chapters out a lot faster if I'm not cluttering up the chapters. So I'm sorry if they're not long enough but I'll do my best to get them out fast to make up for it.
Enjoy.
DAY 2
BPOV:
"Bo you need to eat something." Kenzi says standing in front of me with her arms crossed.
"I already said I'm not hungry." I answer back not taking my eyes off the T.V.
"Alright that's enough." Kenzi grabs the remote from my hand and turns the T.V off.
I jump up and try to take it from her. "Give me it back Kenzi."
"No. You need to eat and sleep." She tells me firmly while holding the remote behind her back.
"And what if they find something?" Since Lauren went missing the light and the dark have been pulling all their strings to try and find Lauren. Military search teams have been out looking for any sign for Lauren but so far nothing...and they've both been keeping me out of the loop, no matter how much I've tried I can't get anywhere near the search.
"Then I'll wake you up. When they find Lauren and they will, she's going to need you." She says guiding me to the table to eat a small lunch she prepared. "So you're going to need to keep your strength up." Kenzi pushes me down onto the chair and sits opposite me to tuck into her food.
I only manage to eat about a quarter of the homemade soup that she brought round before I push the bowl away from me. Kenzi then shoos me to the bedroom, I enter mine and Laurens room for the first time since I found out she was missing, I lay down on the bed and bring her pillow against my chest, breathing in her scent.
"Where are you Lauren." I whimper into her pillow feeling the tears finally fall.

LPOV:
I wipe the sweat from my head for what feels like the 50th time as I arrange the rocks and logs I've collected for a large help sign in case a plane fly's over me, earlier I tried to write out the sign in sand with my feet but I soon realized that wasn't going to work when the sea soon washed most of it away. If I know Bo she'll have tried to get the whole US Army looking for me, but I know seeing as the fae is behind it my recuse won't be as large as that, so I want to signal anyone I can. I push the last couple of rocks to finish the P and stumble back over to my sand hill where I've set up a little sleeping and resting area.
"That's how Bernard on Lost did it right." I mumble to myself as I stare at my handy work. "Probably not the best example Lauren considering they were lost for fucking ever." I laugh to myself.
I pull myself up from the sandy hill after catching my breath. "I really need to find some water." I groan feeling a massive headache coming on probably due to dehydration. I look up to the clear blue sky and it looks like there's not much chance of rain, so I decide to take a wander into the jungle that's directly behind me to see if there's any rain water left from yesterday's storm hanging around on the leaves. "Come on...where are you." I whisper as if I'm hunting like Bear Grylls. I soon spot an area of large leaves and find them shining with liquid, so there was water here. I begin to check every leaf but only find a few drops of rain water to soothe my burning throat.
"Better than nothing I guess." I whisper sitting down on the dirty floor and leaning against one of the many palm trees. I soon feel myself start doze off under the blazing sun but I'm soon awoken by something heavy and solid bouncing off my head.
"AHHHH WHAT THE FUCK." I cry out holding on to my head and looking around for what hit me. I see a few large rocks resting on the floor but it's a large green rolling along the floor that catches my eye. "What the hell is that?" I crawl along the floor and pick up the object before inspecting it. I see some fuzz coming out the top where a hole is and I'm starting to think this is a coconut.
"Please be a fucking coconut." I pray trying to pick it apart. I will have struck a gold mine if I find coconut water on this island. I begin to slam the coconut against the tree but I don't even seem to be making a dent in this thing, I need something harder or sharper. I make my way back to the beach and spot the large stone wall with loads of small rocks next to it.
"This might work." I mumble before launching it at the wall with all my might, it bounces off and I quickly pick it up only to find a little dent in the side of it. "Fuck me." I huff looking around for anything to open this bloody thing, I soon spot a hand sized rock and think I'll just have to chop this thing apart. I spend about 20 minutes chopping and peeling it before I finally get to the hard-brown coconut, I give it a shake and almost start crying when I hear liquid rattling around in there. I get a firm grip om the bottom of it and crack it against a rock sticking out of the ground breaking it in half causing most of the coconut water to spill out onto the ground.
"Shit." I groan tipping the coconut back but only getting a few drops of the fresh water.
"Well at least now I know what to do." I mumble walking back into the jungle in search for more coconuts while I munch on the one I just cracked open. "Things might be looking up Lauren." I say trying to keep positive.

BPOV:
"I know Trick, I appreciate you calling, and I promise I'm eating...Kenzi was just being dramatic."
"Okay Bo, if you need a break from the house please don't hesitate to come down here. Some interactions would do you well."
"That'd be nice Trick. I'll see you soon." I say goodbye 3 more times before I'm finally able to hang up.
"Finally." I groan flopping down onto the bed while throwing the phone to the bottom of it. I love Trick I really do, but he's been calling twice a day asking if I had any more news and if I'm looking after myself. I know I shouldn't be taking this out on Trick, but it's been 48 hours since the love of my life went missing and I can't eat, sleep or even think straight...I just need my girl back.
I stay on mine and Laurens bed for I don't know how long just cuddling up into her pillow that thankfully still smells like her, I continue to stare out our window have no idea how much time has passed but I'm guessing it's been quite a while as the sun has left the sky.
"Where are you Lo?" I whisper out at the dark sky. "I hope you're okay." I feel myself getting choked up at the thought of Lauren hurt somewhere or even worse.
"Don't think like that Bo." I sit up and wipe the tears from my cheeks. I run my hands through my hair and don't like what I feel. Time to wash yourself Bo.
I drag my feet to the bathroom and have my first shower in days. I wash my hair with Laurens shampoo just to feel closer to her some way, and once I'm out and dried off I put on her oversized jumper that she threw on the bed before she left that also still smells of her. Right now I'm completely surrounded by my girl.
"Here we go again." I mumble falling back onto the couch for another restless night.
I'm sat watching the news for what feels like hours but when I look down at the time at the bottom of the screen its only actually been 45 minutes. When the news changes to talk about the weather for the coming week I decide to grab myself a drink of water and a couple of tablets. My phone starts buzzing in the living room and I run out of the kitchen to grab it, I turn it over and see Dysons name flashing on the screen, she's been calling nonstop since Laurens disappeared. I'm sure it's just to see how I'm doing like everyone else but I'm really not in the mood.
"Goodbye." I reject his call just like the last 20.
I fall back onto the couch and watch the weather report for the week, just more rain on the way. I soon feel my eyes start to droop as the news reports drone on about more corrupt politicians that will be getting away with whatever they've been up to behind closed doors. As I feel myself fall into a slumber loud knocking on the door soon wakes me. "Wakey wakey Bo." I mumble heading to the front door. I pull it open and find Hale stood there with a bag held up next to his head.
"Hungry?" He grins giving the bag a shake.
I give him a small smile and move aside to let him into the house. Hale sets the bag down onto the table then heads to the kitchen to grab some plates and drinks.
"How you holding up Bo?" He asks sitting next to me on the couch.
I give him a shrug and share out the rice and chicken he brought round. He lets out a sigh and pours out some drinks for us both. "I'm sure they're doing their absolute best Bo." He says putting his arm round my shoulder and holding me closer to him.
I feel a lump form in my throat as Hale holds me against him. "Well it's not good enough. I just want her back Hale, how can they not have found anything yet." I cry gripping onto his shirt tightly.
"Come on Bo. I know it's hard but you need to stay positive right now." He says stroking my back.
"What if she's gone Hale…what if I've lost her. I don't think I could survive that."
He pulls me up from out of our half hug and looks me in the eyes. "Hey stop that. Lauren is one of the strongest people I know, and our girl is out there waiting to be found, I just know it." Hale says before pulling me into a strong hug. "You just need to be strong right now Bo, and you know you're not alone in this, we're all here for you."
"I know, you've all been amazing." I nod against his shoulder and pull out of the hug while wiping my eyes.
Hale stays with me for about an hour and a half making sure I'm watered and fed before he heads off home to Kenzi and his growing baby. He makes me promise to keep the TV off and head straight to bed. Once he leaves I consider turning the TV back on, but I know Hale was right, I need to get a goodnights sleep.
I fall onto our bed and pull Laurens pillow that still smells like her to my chest and bury my face in it. I stare up at the moon that's shining in through the bedroom window and think about how Lauren could be looking at the same one, just at a different time.
"Goodnight Lo. I love you."

LPOV:
I let out a grunt as I drop down my armful of coconuts to the large pile I've already collected for myself. "Job well done Lauren." I grin high fiving myself as I flop down on top of my leather jacket that's next to my little sleeping area. "Right get off me." I groan pulling off my skinny jeans and top to get some of the sea breeze to cool down my sweaty body. "I'm definitely gonna need to wash these tomorrow." I gag throwing them off to the side, the suns now started going down, there's no point in washing them tonight...and I'm way to fucking tired.
I reach over and grab one of the coconuts that I already opened earlier. I take a large gulp and try to keep it down. "Ugh I hate coconut." I groan taking a few more sips of the water. Not that I should be complaining, it's the only thing keeping me alive right now.
"Time for a wash." I say throwing my empty coconut to the other pile. I'm making a stock pile of them just in case it's my lucky day and it starts to rain.
"Jesus, I stink." I sigh pulling off underwear and walking into the sea. I've only been here for a couple days but I just sweat 24/7 with the overwhelming heat. I dunk my head in the water and try to get out some of the tugs from my hair. I finish scrubbing off the mud and dried blood left from the crash, and climb out the sea to get the last of the sunlight to dry my body, my head starts to spin when I shake my wet hair around like I dog.
I stand in a starfish position on the beach in front of the lowering sun for about 15 minutes before I finally start to dry off. Once the sun goes down here it gets very dark very quick. Once I'm pretty much I dry I walk over to the life raft and brush all the sand from it and lay down with my leather jacket as my blanket, just in case it gets chilly tonight.
I sit up from my life raft/bed and wipe my tears that have fallen as I think about Bo. "I miss you so much beautiful." I say grabbing my locket and opening it up to Bo smiling face. "But I'm gonna do it Bo, I'll come home to you."
I lay back down, kiss her picture a couple times before closing it and holding it close to my chest. I let a sleepy smile come across my face as I stare up at the bright moon looking down on me, and as eyes start to close from exhaustion I think of all the nights Bo and I would stare out our bedroom window looking up at our own moon, with our naked bodies tangled. "Goodnight Bo."
