The Blue Lagoon: Life After
By mc933
Chapter Two
Emma walked into her room from the shower. She felt cleaner than she had in months—literally. The Blue Lagoon, as Emma thought of it as, was a beautiful Oasis. But, it didn't have soap.
Emma missed soap.
"I'm home," said Emma. She sat on her bed and felt the carpet beneath her feet. The feeling of the fabric felt nice underneath her toes. "I thought I'd never be here again."
Emma just got back from Trinidad with her parents. The first thing she did was excuse herself from their company to take a shower. Now, she was alone in her room. Being alone was a scary feeling. She was always with Dean when she was at the Blue Lagoon.
"Dean," said Emma to herself. She felt different without him. Worse—not better. She felt anxious. There was an odd feeling in her chest. She felt nervous and scared.
She told her parents about how she felt on the plane back home. They immediately said they would send her to a therapist as soon as possible. Her mother even said something about PTSD. Emma heard of PTSD on one of those day time talk shows. She knew what it meant… that she was a crazy, basket-case because of what happened to her.
She knew what would help her. One word. One syllable.
Dean.
Her parents didn't take that notion too well.
"Emma, you need to put all of that behind you," said her mom, Lydia. You need to put that boy behind you. He is the reason you were stranded on a deserted island. You need to forget him."
But, Emma couldn't. Still, she might try… for her parents.
