Chapter Two
Annie- Annie found herself lying next to her 16 year old son, Matt. She sat up only to notice four other people lying scattered on the beach. None of them were any of her other children or her husband. She gently shook Matt, afraid that he wouldn't wake up. He groaned.
"Matt, honey, wake up," Annie said. She glanced around. Where are we?
Matt- Matt groaned and opened his eyes. His mom was bent over him with worried eyes. The plane crash flashed in his head. He quickly pulled himself up into a sitting position.
"Mom, where are we? Where's Dad?"
Before she could answer, he heard a groan beside him. He looked over to see four other people lying on the beach. The one closest to him, a woman about 30, was slowly sitting up and looking around. She brushed sand off her face and stared at Matt in confusion.
"Are you okay?" Matt asked her. What am I thinking? Who's okay after what happened?
Lorelai- Lorelai stared at the long haired boy in front of her. He stared back at her, then asked if she was okay. Lorelai looked at the woman peering over the boy's shoulder. She looked concerned. She suddenly thought of Rory. Rory. Where was she?
"Rory?" she croaked, her throat extremely dry. She began to feel panicky, as she remembered Rory's frightened face as the plane was going down. "Where's Rory?"
Then she heard her voice. "Mom?"
Rory- Rory sat up rubbing her aching head. She could taste salt water and grainy sand in her mouth. Where was her mom?
"Mom?" she said, looking around. She spotted her several feet away sitting up next to two other people. And in between her and her mom was another person lying on the sand. A girl around her age with her brown hair tossed around her face. The girl coughed and rolled onto her side, spitting out sand. The girl stared up at Rory.
"Who are you?" she asked. Her eyes shifted to something past Rory. "Pacey?"
Joey- Joey sat up straighter as she recognized her friend Pacey, lying on the sand, his cheek scraped and dried blood stuck to it. Joey got on her hands and knees and crawled past the strange girl to Pacey. Please, let him be alive, she thought, touching his shoulder.
"Pacey?" She gently shook his shoulder. "Pacey, wake up. Please, don't be dead."
"It'll take more than a plane crash and a salty sea to kill me," he suddenly croaked out. Joey's face lit up in a smile and she gave Pacey a hug.
Pacey- Pacey winced as Joey hugged him. His shouler was bruised and it hurt when she threw her arms around him. He coughed and Joey helped him sit up.
"Where's Dawson and Jen?" he asked her.
"I don't know. I just woke up," she informed him. He looked past her at the four other people. What kind of people are we stuck with?
