Wow, Chapter 14! Thank you so much for reviewing, LiveLoveWrite-93, Haeli Elizabeth, Lauren Kassidy and Graceful Shadows!

Jack: Hang on! What are you about to do?

Me: Shut up and find out.

Katie: Yeah, shut up, Jack!

Katie really didn't need to ask if it was true. Mike's fair hair and blue eyes were unmistakable. Besides, he was a lot taller than she, and everyone knew Mike was one of the tallest in the year group.

"I found you in the water, and you were practically blue! You would be dead if I hadn't pulled you out of the ocean!" Mike told her.

Katie thought a silent thank you to the two boys that had died on the island. She didn't know what to say to this boy. She hadn't seen him for days. Back at home, she'd had a major crush on him. But when she asked her heart what it felt now, only one sentence was there; Just because he betrayed me, doesn't mean I'm able to fall out of love with Jack.

"Hi, Mike." Katie finally said. "What happened?"

Suddenly, Mike smiled. "There's a plane!"

Katie's eyes widened. "An actual plane? We're being rescued?"

"Yes." Mike said. "The air crew are on the island, looking for all the survivors. The rest of us are searching too. The others are getting the girls, and the air crew have been trying to get the other boys onto the plane-the savage ones. Come on, now."

Katie nodded, and together they ran back to the beach. There were all the savages on the beach, along with the teenagers that had landed recently. Katie's heart missed a beat when she saw Jack. All his leader's confidence seemed to have deserted him. All that was left was a seventeen-year-old boy with red hair, blue eyes and a face that held regret. However, Katie wasn't ready to say anything to him yet. She turned away.

The plane that had landed on the island was originally searching for the survivors of the exchange trip the twenty five teenagers had been going on. The boys that had landed earlier were assumed long dead, and it was strange to find that they were alive. Everyone that was alive boarded the plane, and the plane landed in a stop-off in Houston and then to Britain successfully, when the students were counted.

Abby hadn't been able to survive night after night of pain. After her mind shut down, her heart soon followed suit, and she died on the island.

Some of the little kids from the original pack of boys were never found, and are assumed dead. The boy with the mulberry marked face, as well as Simon and "Piggy" were already known to be dead.

Rosie's symptoms of pregnancy turned out to be wrong. She was just reacting from the stress of her time on the island.

Katie's near-drowning experience left her with pneumonia. She was hospitalized once the teenagers took the last flight to Britain. She made a full recovery and was soon back at school.

All of the kids went through therapy. The girls were especially traumatized, most notably Heather, for reasons they refused to talk about.

It was Katie's first day back at school. She was scared about facing the other girls, but also anticipated it.

The first person she saw was her best friend Maria, who hugged her. "I was so worried when you went missing and then went into hospital!" she cried. "I am so happy you're OK!"

Katie hugged her back, but didn't say a word. When the bell rang, they walked to Dance class together. Heather and Carly also had this class, and Abby had taken it before the island.

"Welcome back, Katie." the teacher said.

"Thank you." Katie said in a subdued tone, not looking at Heather or Carly. She knew that it would be hardest, though, when she had to face Gemma, Abby's best friend.

Throughout the days that followed, Katie avoided the other twenty-three people in her year that had gotten off the island alive. She had changed a lot. Her friends and aquaintances began to miss her obsessions and crazy sense of humour, her cover-up confidence, and her smile. The old Katie was gone, leaving a dreamy subdued young girl behind.

Little did they know what she was dreaming about.

Katie missed Jack so much. She missed his blue eyes watching her, his smile that melted her, his voice, especially when he sang. Most of all she missed the way she floated in heaven when they were together. But she still wasn't ready to speak to him.

After a few weeks at school, she found something in her email inbox. It was from Facebook. "Hi, Katie," it said, "Jack Merridew has sent you a friend request. Only respond if you know Jack personally."

Katie's heart fluttered, and her hand involuntarily confirmed the friendship. The Facebook link opened, and a chat popped up.

Jack: Talk to me, Katie. Please.

Katie looked at the message for a moment, than typed back:

Katie: Do you know what the island's done to me? What you've done to me?

Jack: Are we gonna talk?

Katie: Not on Facebook. Come over tomorrow.

Jack: Address? I'll be there 12pm, OK?

Katie told Jack her address, and logged off. She wondered what would happen tomorrow.

A/N: Sorry, this was just filler, but I promise the next chapter will have the make-or-break scene with Jack and Katie. And once I've done that, I'll do an epilogue. And then my story will be done.
