Flight 29 Down: That Evil Thing Called Life

Chapter 10 - Disaster Strikes

A/N: We're double digits! Wooh! Also, in the last chapter, I forgot to tell you to just pretend that the Abby ordeal had already happened. Just pretend with me. Please?

--------------------------------------------

"I had so much fun last night Lex!" Melissa said. They were all eating breakfast.

"No problem. Abby did tell us to create more happy memories." He said modestly.

They sat in silence for a minute, all thinking the same thing. Melissa broke the ice. "I hope she's okay. I hope they're all okay."

They all nodded in agreement.

----------------------------------------------

"Hey Melissa, you want to go fishing again?" Jackson asked her.

"Sure! I'll go ask Taylor or somebody to watch the fire." She walked off.

She soon came upon Eric, who was lugging water. "Hey Eric, will you watch the fire? Me and Jackson are going fishing."

"I'm a little busy!" He gestured to the water jugs. "Go ask Taylor or Daley or somebody." Melissa kept walking. Soon she came to a cliff. She started out at the beautiful scenery.

-------------------------------------------------

Nathan and Daley were playing with a coconut, throwing it back and forth. Daley threw it far, and Nathan ran backwards.

"Nathan watch where your going!" Daley yelled. But she was too late. He bumped into Melissa, and she was pushed over the cliff.

------------------------------------------------

A/N: Dun Dun Dun!

-------------------------------------------

Nathan lay down, so he wouldn't fall as well, and peered over the cliff. "Melissa? Can you hear me? Melissa!" No answer.

"I'm going to get Jackson!" Daley said.

"No! He'll kill me! Gosh, why do I always have to screw everything up?" Nathan said.

"What if Melissa's hurt? Jackson has a right to know!"

"I have a right to know what? What are you doing Nathan? You could fall." Jackson had emerged from the wood.

"Uh, well, you see, funny story-" Nathan stuttered.

"Nathan bumped into Melissa, cause he didn't see her and he was walking backwards, and she kinda fell down the cliff and isn't answering…" Daley admitted.

"What! Somebody go get some rope fast!" Nathan took off running.

"Melissa! It's Jackson, can you hear me? Please answer!" He didn't yell it out loud, but in his head he was saying I don't want to lose you too.

"Here's the rope!" Nathan said.

Jackson tied it around himself, and tied the other end to a tree. He started climbing down, and Nathan and Daley held the excess rope. He got to the bottom. Melissa was unconscious, but there wasn't any blood.

"Is she okay?" Though he was trying to hide it, you could tell Nathan was very worried.

"She's unconscious, but there isn't any blood." Jackson yelled. "I'm coming back up!"

Nathan pulled the rope, impatient to get Melissa back to camp.

"You don't like Melissa too, do you?" Daley said.

"No! She's been my best friend since kindergarten, I only love her like a sister!" Nathan replied hurriedly, though Daley could tell he wasn't lying.

Jackson finally reached the top, and set Melissa down before removing the rope from his waist. Then he picked her back up and went as fast as he could to camp without running.

------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: Ooh! Cliffhanger! It's all Nathan's fault! I'm sure Melissa will understand that it was just a mistake, but what about Jackson! In the next chapter-DRAMA! Muhahaha! I'm not updating until I get a decent amount of reviews, say 3 or 4. Ciao!
