Chapter Two
"Ugh." Mimi sat up, pushing her wet, tangled hair off of her sunburnt face. "Where am I?" Standing up, she saw sand. And more sand. It seemed to stretch on for miles. Behind her was a large jungle full of palm trees, banana trees, and every other tropical fruit you can imagine. A deserted island. 'Great. I guess God felt that cleaning toilets for a year isn't enough punishment for what I did to Chloe, so he stranded me on an island. I feel like Tom Hanks. At least I can be thankful that Jan isn't here with me.' Mimi started walking along the beach, in search of civilization.

After searching for hours and seeing no sign of Mimi, the captain had insisted on docking and resuming search with the help of the police and coast guard tomorrow.
Jason walked through the hotel lobby past Shawn who was comforting a crying Belle, and up to the hotel room he was sharing with Hawk. Trying to get his mind off of the recent events, he turned on the clock radio and laid back on top of one of the two queen sized beds with his eyes closed, listening to the first song that came on.
~they read you cinderella, you hoped it would come true~
~that one day your prince charming would come rescue you~
~you like romantic movies and you never will forget the way you felt when romeo kissed juliet~
~and all this time that you've been waiting~
~you don't have to wait no more~
~i can love you like that~
~i would make you my world~
~move heaven and earth if you were my girl~
~i would give you my heart, be all that you need~
~show you you're everything that's precious to me~
~if you give me a chance~
~i can love you like that~
'That's how I feel about Mimi.' Jason sat up quickly, opening his green eyes wide. "Where did that come from?! I don't even really LIKE Mimi!"
Moving over to change the station, Jason convinced himself that when he changed the song, all these thoughts of love and...Mimi...would leave his mind.
~you do something to me that i can't explain~
~so would i be out of line, if i said, i miss you~
"Dammit!" Jason reached over to switch the station again. "Too sad."
~in my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky~
~in my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life~
~i'll keep a part of you with me, and everywhere i am there you'll be~
Jason felt his eyes mist over with tears. "I gotta get out of here." He jumped up, quickly changing into his bathing suit, and ran past Hawk, who was just about to scan his key card in the lock.
"Where ya goin, Jase?"
"I think I'm gonna take out one of those jet skiis they rent at the front desk, bye."
'Well obviously he didn't want me to go with him. He's been acting so weird since he dumped Jan.' Hawk walked into the room, snickering when he heard Faith Hill blasting out of the stereo.

Jason sighed with relief as the cool ocean spray hit his face. Increasing the speed of the wave runner, his thoughts started to drift back to Mimi. 'I don't like her, I can't like her! So why can't I stop worrying about her? I just have to make sure she's okay, then I'll stop thinking about her. I hope.'
Hours later, the engine on the jet ski started to sputter. "Damn. Ran out of gas. My life just keeps getting better and better." Seeing land close by, Jason jumped into the ocean and started swimming.

"No one! I haven't even seen a cannibal or an indian or whatever lives on an island! At least there's no one to kill me, although it might be worth it just for the company!" Mimi sat on a rock, frustrated. "My shoes are wet, I'm covered in sand, my nose is sunburned, my shirt is ruined and...oh. my. GOD." Mimi watched, enthralled as a man with the body of a Greek god walked out of the ocean dripping wet. As he pushed his soaked hair back and his ab muscles tansed, Mimi's breath quickened and she had to hold herself back from running to touch them. Just then, he looked up, straight into her eyes.
"Mimi!!!"
"Jason?!"
"Ugh." Mimi sat up, pushing her wet, tangled hair off of her sunburnt face. "Where am I?" Standing up, she saw sand. And more sand. It seemed to stretch on for miles.
