Hey. I know it's been a while since I updated (I get grounded a lot) but I'm back and I've got a lot of chapters ready. hOpe you enjoy this one!

Jack's POV

I wake up with Leah curled up against me. My arm is around her and her head is resting on my chest. I smile and relax. A few minutes later, I hear Ralph starting to wake up. From the way he was acting yesterday, he mad a move on Leah and got rejected. Sucker! But, being the amazing person I am, I decide not to gloat. I have Leah, I don't feel any need to gloat. So, reluctantly, I pull my arm away and go to wake up the hunters. We've got work to do.

Leah's POV

I wake up that morning and Jack and the hunters are already gone. Ralph is still distancing himself from me. I go fishing with Piggy.

"I think Ralph is mad at me," Piggy nods.

"He has been acting kinda weird. Did you guys argue about something?" He asks.

"I wish. He likes me. As more than just a friend. And I don't like him that way." I explain.

"Oh. Well that means he's just a little embarrassed. He'll get over it, don't worry," Piggy reassures me. I smile.

"I hope you're right. I really didn't mean to hurt his feelings."

"Ralph's a smart boy. He knows you would never hurt him on purpose. Trust me." I hug Piggy. He smiles.

"Thanks." When we get back to camp, Simon's already gone and there's been no sign of the hunters. Ralph is watching the fire because Samneric wanted to go on the hunt. I help Piggy watch the littluns, playing pirates all afternoon. Sadly, I'm the designated damsel in distress and have to sit on a rock, waiting to be captured by the team of pirates or rescued by the "Royal Navy". I know, fun right?

Finally, the hunters get back. According to the sundial, it's 8 p.m. I'm starving. I sit down and begin eating.

"Hey Leah," Jack sits down and puts his arm around me. I smile. "How's your day going?"

"I'm the littluns designated damsel in distress. I got captured, rescued, and then captured again in their game of pirates about 50 times."

"Eh, that's the breaks. Comes with being the only girl on the island" I smile.

"So how's your day going?" He groans.

"So slowly. It took hours just for us to find something to hunt. But voila! We came bearing meat!"

"Would you like us to sing 'Hail the Conquering Hero?" I joke. Jack smirks.

"Yes that would be nice." I laugh. We both finish our food. "Wanna go for a walk?" I nod. He grabs my hand and helps me to my feet. We walk through the jungle, Jack never dropping my hand. We talk about hunting, our favorite songs, our lives before we crashed here. We walk for about half an hour before we see the camp between the trees. Jack stops. He pulls me closer and kisses me. For a long time.

"They're snogging!" Someone shouts. It's either Sam or Eric.

"Ooh, Jacky's gettin' some lip action!" The other twin adds. Jack smirks at them.

"Dude, get a room!" They shout in unison. I see Ralph behind them. He's bright red. Deciding to pretend he's not there, I stick my tongue out at Samneric. They laugh.

"You gonna be shoving that down our throats next Leah?" The first twin (I think it's Sam) says. "Cuz we'd be happy to oblige." I laugh.

"In your dreams!" I shout.

"So Jack gets a kiss and we don't?"

"Why Sam, I believe she may be picking favorites." A twin (apparently Eric) says. Jack laughs.

"Damn right!" He shouts. He dips and kisses me again. The twins laugh and whistle. I shove Jack away and glare at the three of them. Jack just laughs and puts his arm around me. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Ralph. He's gone from hurt to embarressed to fuming. He's furious that I like Jack and not him. He disappears into the shelter. I hope he'll get over it. Soon.

Ralph's POV

Leah was making out with Jack. Now I know why she rejected me. She likes him. What does he have that I don't have? (Besides her.) What is it about me that Leah doesn't like? As far as I know, Jack's a self-centered jackass (pardon the pun), and back home he never treated his girlfriends that well. He stayed with 'em for maybe two weeks, then dumped them for the next pretty girl that came along. He always came first, he never gave a shit about any of those girls. Well, I'm not about to let him break Leah's heart. I wait till after she's gone to watch the littluns, then go and talk to Jack.

"You better stay away from her." I warn him. He looks confused.

"WHat are you talking about?"

"I swear, if you do anything to hurt Leah-" he cuts me off.

"I would NEVER hurt Leah."

"Oh don't pretend to be innocent. I've gone to school with you for eight years. I know how you treat the girls you date."

"You really think I'm gonna pull taht crap with Leah? I really care about her."

"And I'm sure you cared about those other girls too. Until something or someone better came along. I won't just stand by and let you break her heart."

"I won't! I couldn't if I tried. I know you don't think I'm the greatest guy around and we both know she could do a lot better. but I have to let her make her own mistakes and you should do the same." Jack says.

"I don't think so."

"Fuck off Ralph." Jack pushes past me and goes to play pirates with Leah and the littluns. I drop it for now but this certainly isn't the end of it.

Sorry, I know Jack's a little bit out of character, but I had to put that part in there.
