Misconceptions

Charlie stood there in disbelief. He couldn't believe it. Alex was right there, dead. He ran up to him and cradled Alex in his arms

"C'mon, Alex" he said, sobbing "Wake up. Please wake up"

He sat there with the still motionless Alex. He was pale and his eyes were closed. Charlie stayed there, rocking Alex until the scenery around him got darker

"Someone! Please! Help!" Charlie shouted, in a desperate hope to get help

He had to do something. He placed Alex on the floor and kissed him on the head

"I'll be right back, I promise" he whispered, before running off

Charlie fought his way through the trees as fast as he could. He burst onto the beach, shouting

"Someone! Please help me!" he shouted, dropping to his knees, sobbing "You gotta help!"

People crowded him. Locke walked up to him and got down to his level "What's wrong?"

"It's... It's Alex!" said Charlie, crying "He's in the jungle, he's dead!"

"What?" said Locke "What do ya mean dead?"

"He's in the jungle," said Charlie "He's all pale and won't wake up"

"Are you sure?" asked Locke, looking into Charlie's eyes

"Positive"

"Then why is Alex over there?" Locke replied, pointing over to his tent, where Alex was asleep

"What the-?" said Charlie, getting up and wiping his eyes "B-B-But I'm sure I saw him... I'm certain it was him. He was right in front of me! I held him for the past 3 hours!"

"You can't have done" said Locke "He got back 4 hours ago. He came back saying something was moving around in the jungle. So he got scared and came back here. He didn't know you'd followed him"

"B-But who did I see then?" said Charlie

"It might have been your imagination" replied Locke, the crowd dispersing and Locke beginning to walk away

"Well it was pretty real for my freaking imagination!" shouted Charlie

He walked over to Alex, the fire light reflecting his face. Charlie bent down to give him a kiss. Alex just rolled over and slept more. Charlie couldn't sleep, that feeling that had gone through his body when he saw Alex was going to stay with him the rest of his life. He was just grateful nothing had happened to Alex...
