Later that afternoon

Daley and Nathan were running back and forth from tree to tree, lugging them back to the camp site,

"It's great you two, but we need more for the left wall, think you could go get more?" He asked,

"Sure Lex." Daley answered.

"Yeah..whatever it takes to get this finished.." Nathan mumbled, and fallowed Daley to the grassy area,

Melissa came up with the firewood, With Jackson helping her out,

"You know..We haven't had water in two days..." Taylor moaned, "I'm so thirsty.."
"Why don't you go get a drink?" Jackson asked,

"Daley said we can't drink anything untell Eric learns how to coaperate."

"That will take an eternity.." Jackson growled,

"Oh gosh im so thirsty..!" Taylor complained, Jackson walked over to Taylor holding out a clam shell. With a bowl looking surfuce. It had some clean water inside.

"Drink this.." He whispered, Taylor slowly took the clam shell, and placed her dry lips on the tip and drank the whole thing dry,

"Thankyou.." She said smiling,

"Yeah..Just don't tell Daley," He said raising his eye browes.

"Hey..was this for you..?" She asked handing back the clam shell. Jackson didn't answer back, he grinned and walked up to Melissa helping her with the fire.

Taylor watched him help with Melissa,

Jackson really is a great guy...He seems to understand everything I say, It's like he knows what im gonna say next...

And...I haven't been helping at all...I make him laugh!

"So I asume Ericsnot here?" She asked,

"Nope..He's sleeping along side the ocean." Jackson answered, Taylor was tierd of hearing this, she wanted to know what was going on, so she marched up to the side of the beach in demand,

"Eric!" She yelled, Eric leaped up from the sand and stood up silently.

"Alright straw hat! I wanna know what your problem is and I wanna know now!" She demanded.

"Why does everyone think something wrong with me!? No one seems to take the answer 'NOTHING'!!!" He yelled,

"Well I think its something! I think there's something your hiding and you don't want anyone to find out!" She yelled, Eric ran his fingers across his eyes.
"So don't think there's nothing wrong! Because everyone on this island is wondering!" She said lowering her voice,

Eric stood there puzzled,

"Don't...Don't you get it? Everyone is worried about you, is it something about the island? friends? family?" She asked,

Eric was focusing on her face, she was more seriouse then ever,

"Because..no matter what it is, we're f-family. And we can get threw it." She said smiling.

Eric nodded.

"Taylor...Sure..I mean, it is something. but its something I really should not bring up."
"Why not?" She asked raising her eye browes.

"Because...im afraid.." He blurted. Taylor felt like she was caught between a wall.

"Afraid..? Of what? We're never getting off the island?" She asked,

"No...No what I have to say, I think is far more importent.." He said, he bagen rubbing his eyes as they start to turn red,

"Eric, what?" She asked,

"Ok..It sounds stupid but. I keep having this dre...er..Nightmare. About Melissa. So-"
"Aha! I knew it!" She yelled in excitment,

"What?" He asked,

"You two are in cahoots!" She yelled surprised,

"Cahoo-..? NO! Listen you have to lis-"

"I already know Eric! And..I was right..! Take that Melissa!" She said smiling,

"What?" He asked confused, "Your saying I like Melissa?" He asked,

"Yes! Your dreaming about her!...Kinda romantic but yet at the same time kinda creepy!" She said crossing her arms.

"N-No Taylor! You have to listen!" He said with more disturbence.

"Wait untell Melissa finds out..!" She said smiling.

"Okay would you just stop!!" He yelled, Taylor froze in fear,

"I dream about Melissa yes!! Okay!?...But, the dream.." He started out, he felt his eyes fog up from his tears,

"The dream...was a dream I never wnted to see, I...I'de rather see me dead then her." He said, feeling some warm tears run down his face.

"E-Eric...What are you talking about?" She asked confused,

"I know you may have heard this before...but I wanna go home.." He weeped.

Taylor was puzzled, she had never seen Eric cry before, It must have been rather unpleasent..She rapped her arms around his neck hugging him close. Eric had his arms around Taylor body hugging her close.

"Whatever it is Eric...You will fight it..Even if it means I'll have to help you.." She said, her eyes were glued shut,

Eric whipped the last tears away from his eyes.

"I'm just tierd of seeing everything.." He said,

"I know...I feel that way too." She said smiling, Eric smiled down at her,

"We should get going," She said elbowing his shoulder. Eric nodded, they both raced back to camp.
