Chapter 9

Jackson then quietly walked back to the empty containers of water and began walking towards the well again.

Meanwhile Lex was adding two more sticks to his suprise gift. He then tied the flat sicks onto the two tall sticks wit htwo bandanas. When Lex was finished he ran up to camp. There Eric sat and Mel was boiling water.

"Hey Jackson." said Lex as he ran up to him.

"Hey Lex, what's up?" asked Eric.

"Here, I made them. You can use these to help you walk so you don't have to sit around camp all day." said Lex as he held out the crutches that he made.

"Whoah Lex, thankyou." said Eric as he smiled.

Melissa looked up and said.

"Aww Lex, that's so cool of you, here uhh Er... I mean Jackson let me help you up." said Melissa as she helped Eric stand. Eric grabbed the crutches and tried them out he walked from one chair to the other.

"So Jackson, are they good?" asked Lex.

"Lex, there perfect, thanks so much." said Eric.

"No problem, and if they break I can always make more." said Lex as he walked off.

"He's such a great kid." laughed Mel.

"I know." said Eric.

"Eric, after lunch Nathan is lugging water for the rest of the day, Jackosn usually goes out onto the beach after lunch, why don't you go talk to him and try to find out why you have not switched back yet." said Melissa.

"I defintly will, I want to walk again." said Eric as he walked off wit hthe crutches.

"Eric, where are you going?" asked Mel as she laughed.

"Now where, ughh I have no were to be." laughed Eric as he sat back down on the log.

Soon the hours past and it was 12:30, time for lunch. Fish and fruit, the usual. Anyway after lunch Nathan took over the water lugging job, so Jackson went onto the beach to sit and just relax for a little.

Meanwhile Eric useing his crutches was on his way to Jackson we he was stopped by Taylor.

"Jackson! How could you?" yelled Taylor.

"What?" asked Eric.

"You told Eric, that I fished?" asked Taylor.

"Yea, was I not supposed to?" asked Eric.

"Jackson, You said you were going to keep that a secret!" yelled Taylor.

"I'm sorry, ok I...uhhh.. forgot." winced Eric.

"We'll I don't care if your hurt or not." siad Taylor and with that she slapped him right across the face.

"That'll show you." siad Taylor as she walked off.

Eric sighed he was used to girls slapping him. Anyway he finally arrived over to Jackson.

"Hey man." said Eric.

"Hey, whoah where did you get the crutches?" asked Jackson.

"Lex made them, for me well you, well you know what I mean, he's a good kid." said Eric.

"Yea he is, so whats up?" asked Jackson.

"I thought last night we covered some ground, why didn't we switch back?" asked Eric.

"Because, we didn't well I didn't say everything." siad Jackson as he stood up and starred at Eric.

"What do you have to say?" asked Eric.

Jackson took a breath and said:

"You, you read my diary, my private video! I still can't believe you did that!" said Jackson.

"I said I was sorry, man, I meant it." said Eric as his voice grew higher.

"You hurt me. I mean those were my privste thoughts, Nathan was the one who started the video diary thing, everyone one by one all got a tape and when we got too pisted we come and let out our feelings, and out being so stupidly bored you decided t osee what the new guy had to hide, what were you thinking I killed some one, or ooo maybe I robbed a bnk just because of how I acted and where I came form, you just couldn't except that Iwas just like you and and everyone else on this island." yelled Jackson as he walked off.
