End of day-Next day
"Eric..?" Daley asked moving her arm.
"Mm..." He moaned. "Daley..?" He asked.
"You want to see Mel?" She asked. Eric shot up running to the shelter.
"Woah.." She said amazed.
Daley rushed out of the tent and bumped into Lex.
"Ah there you
are...so watcha find?"
"I found out that Eric poisoned
her." He said handing her the fish bag.
"Eww!" She screamed and threw it on the ground.
"Where's Eric?" He asked.
"He ran to go see
Melissa."
Shelter
Eric ran inside with Melissa in front of her, laying on the ground in her sleeping bag.
"Melissa?" He asked. He bent down to her level.
"Melissa? Are you
alright?" He asked. Melissa opened her eyes.
"Eric.."
She moaned. And sat up alittle bit.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Not really..I can barley move." She groaned. And tried sitting up higher.
"You do know you'll be alright...right?" He asked feeling more confident.
"I know...its just.." She started. She paused looking into his eyes.
"I..I'm scared." She said throwing her arms around his neck with tears rolling down her cheeks. Eric couldn't help but let his tears slide. He pat her back over and over.
"It's gonna be alright...I promise." He cried. Melissa let even more tears slide.
Eric let go of her and looked into her eyes.
"I promise." He said lifting her chin. Melissa showed a small smile.
"How do you
know?"
"I just..do." He answered. Melissa hugged
him again.
"Thankyou.." She said moving closer.
"Eric is she okay?" A voice asked from the outside.
"Yeah she's fine." Eric yelled. He got up and walked outside.
"Trust me." He said as he left the shelter. He moved aside to Daley.
"So how is she?" She asked.
"She's doing fine, I
have a feeling she's gonna do just fine." He said
smiling.
"Cool, um Jackson said he wanted to see you."
She said.
"Where?"
"Here."
Jackson said from behind him. Eric turned around.
"Oh hey." He said.
"Come with me a sec." He said. And walked into the bushes.
Eric was getting hit by
all kinds of branches and sticks.
"Where are we going?"
He asked trying to keep his hat on.
"You'll see." Was
his answer.
Jackson finally stopped in front of a circle.
"There's nothing here." He said.
"Not exactly." He said pulling out a guitar. Eric was wide eyed.
"How did-"
"Pilots."
He said sitting down.
"Why are you showing me this?" He asked sitting down.
"I'm gonna teach you how to play this." He said.
"Why?"
"Because
your gonna play. for Melissa." He said smiling. Erics eyes grew
wider.
"Huh..?" He asked confused. Jackson nodded.
"No way..There's no
way I can play that thing."
"Just takes practice."
He said running his fingers across the guitar strings.
"Jackson."
"Play
me a first note." He said handing him the guitar.
