"Eric wake up.." Taylor moaned. Eric did as he was told.

"Eric why are you just laying around?" She asked.

"Got nothing else to do.." He sighed.

"I thought yuo had two jobs now since Melissa isn't here."
"I did..Now I don't"
"Why?"
Eric didn't answer, he just sat back and relaxed.

"Eric! You have jobs to do! It's important you get it done!"
"You know..I really hate what you've become.." He grunted. He got up to stretch.

"You think after what happened to Melissa you could be alittle more responcable?" She asked.

"Look would you stop nagging..Im going im going.." He said walking up to the camp sight.

"Eric? You awake?" Daley asked. Eric opened his eyes. Seeing Daley next to him.

"Glad your awake..how's your arm?" She asked in a tender voice.

"Where's Melissa?" He said changing the subject. Daly was surprised. He had never been so concirned about anyone else.

"Um..Sh-She's outside with Nathan." She answered. Eric rushed out of bed and ran outside holding onto his arm.

He found Melissa chatting with Nathan.

"Melissa?" He asked. Nathan smiled and went walked away.

"How are you? Are you alright? How's your-"
Eric placed a fnger apon her lips.

"I'm fine." He answered. Melissa laughed.

"Does your arm hurt?"
"Alittle bit...But I think it would be even worse. If you hadn't helped me." He admitted. Melissa stood there awkwardly.

"Eric..You know, if there's anything at all you wanna talk about, J-...Just lemme know, okay?" She asked walking off. Eric stood there, With his hand still grasping onto his arm. Confused and parolized. Thinking about what had happened in the woods. How he could have died if Melissa wasn't there that night. He kept having pictures in his head of Melissa in that dream. He would worry on how he would petray her from saving his life. He had no idea what to excpect.

"Eric..I've been thinking..And maybe you shouldn't do any work today...Untell your arm is fully healed." Daley informed. Eric nodded.

"Thanks.."
He walked to the beachy area. Finding Taylor sitting in his spot.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Oh my gosh!" She cried. She walked up to him and hugged him tightly. Giving him an innocent kiss on the cheek.

"I'm glad your alright!" She said surprised.

"You are..?" He asked confused.

"Well duh, Melissa told me all about your...confusion. And injury, I think it was real great of her to bring you back,: She said smiling.

"Yeah..real great.." He said with less confidence.

"Are you alright?" She asked, "Does your arm still hurt?"
"Nah..Well kinda..But its not that,"
Taylor bent down next to him, both looking out to the ocean.

"Is it um..That something you never want to talk about?" She asked.

"Kinda.." He moaned. He sat on his back covering his eyes.

"Can you tell me?"
"No,"
"But why!?" She cried.

"Taylor..! Just!...Leave it be...I don't even know what this 'something' means.."

"Once you do..You can tell me k?" She asked. Eric all of a sudden remembered Melissa. Remembering the same thing she had told him...His mind has been spinning.

"Eric?" She asked.

"Taylor..I know your trying to help but...I.." He stared directly at her.

"I think I just need some time alone.." He said frowning. Taylor scoffed.

"Well fine then! Excuse me for helping..!" She said getting up. She crossed her arms all the way up to the camp sight. Eric grunted some more and covered his eyes with his hat.

Camp

"How we doing Lex?" He asked.

"Well since the Shelters done. I think we should focus on the fire now."
"What do you have in mind?" Dale asked.

"I'm not sure yet..We could just do it the way nathans been doing it for the past fourty five minutes." He said looking down at Natha, crouching spinning the two sticks together. He was sweating.

"Or..we could try it a different way." He said pulling out a magnify glass.

"Lex..how do you know this will work?" She asked.

"Well I don't. But I'm gonna try it anyway." He said with confidence.

"UGH!!!" Taylor screamed. Daley and Nathan jumped up.

"What's wrong now?" She asked.

"It's that jerk Eric!" She yelled.

Daley turned to Nathan, and back to her. "What about Eric?"
"Well, Ya know how he's been acting so weird?"

"Yeah,"
"Well...We better find out what it is soon before I bring out the karate in me!" She yelled. And stamped off into the tent.

Lex looked confused.

"Karate..?" He asked. Daley and Nathan laughed for a sec. and went back to their duties.

And Melissa and Jackson couldn't help over hearing...
