Bleeccccck...This took too long. XP This really wasn't in my story line either! I'm terrible! Hahaha! Anyway, I tried I new style! Point of Views! Hey, it's my first time so cut me some slack. I really didn't like the outcome of this chapter, but I had to put a part how Jack and Ralph meet right? Oh crap, spoilllerrs, not really. Sorry if it turned out really weird! Blame it on meeeee~ Oh! And I decided to add some titles to my chapters! Hah! Amazing right? Okay! Onward to the story! (And I'm really really sorry if some parts are messy or anything! I was kinda rushing to finish this. If there is a part then please tell me! Thank you!)


Chapter 8~ PART ONE- Ralph's PoV

My feet were failing me. No more could I run, but still I forced myself to. What more could I do? Yeah, I know running wasn't the brightest idea, still...Jack...

Once my feet gave up, I realized that I was now on the other side of the island. The side where we all first met, where smiles and laughter surrounded all of us. Probably the fact that my ears are beginning to go batty, or maybe, just maybe, I'm actually hearing the echoes of our happy days. Ah, I shouldn't fight with myself...

"Merridew, that bastard..." I finally released after all my gasps for air. That red head, savage boy was now again my enemy. This time because he broke my heart. I was holding back my tears, my heart, unfortunately, didn't want to listen to my brain though. So I ended up down on the ground, crying my eyes out, and letting small hiccups escape my lips. Damn, I didn't like that feeling. My hand was grabbing a hold of the white sand; I held it tightly so that it won't escape. Not letting any air into it, and putting as much force and hatred into my grip. I guess I was thinking that handful of sand was Jack. "Why'd he have to go and do this...Why'd I have to go and be a fool in the first place though!" I whimpered angrily to myself. At first I was putting all the anger into Jack, and then I re-thought things and decided that this was a BIT my fault. Just a tiny bit.

After I knew all the tears had fallen out, I went over to the nearby ocean. Once I stepped into the water, my feet began to submerge into the sand. I giggled slightly at the feeling. Hey, I'm ticklish, but don't tell anyone!

"I guess I could have fun without Merridew..."

"Yeah Ralph, you better off without him~"

That voice...It was-

I quickly flipped my head around to see who was in back of me. I knew who it was, but I just couldn't believe my eyes. Wait, rephrase that. I knew who THEY were.

"Piggy! Simon! No no no no nooooo! I must be imagining things!" I heard a laugh come from Simon, and Piggy gave off a sigh of distress.

"Ralph, you really don't like believing me don't you?"

"Naw' c'mon boss, don't take this situation seriously!"

Boss? When did Simon ever call me that? It does have a nice ring to it though, so I'll just let it be.

"Guys..." I looked at them with watery eyes. I knew they weren't real, probably just a figure of my imagination, but I couldn't help but savor the feeling of them being with my once more. It somewhat warmth my heart. My body soon began moving on its own, it went to a stop when I reached Piggy and Simon. Being so overjoyed "seeing" them again; I couldn't help but hug them. "R-Ralph? What in the heavens are you doing?" "Leave him be Piggy. The boss might be pretty tired from all this chaos. I mean, Jack turned into a total ass." "Tch, I always knew Jack was trouble! See Ralph, see what I told you! But no, you didn't listen!"

The water in my eyes let go, and I started sobbing immediately. "I listened to you Piggy! I really did! But it was just at the last minute! I'm so sorry! Please...please forgive my Piggy! PLEASE!" The last part I yelled out pretty loud. Whoops~

"Clam down Ralph!"

"Never knew you were a crier boss." Simon was mocking me, I just knew it. But it was a friendly mock. The type of mock that doesn't get in between relationships. A mock that me and Jack never achieved.

"It's called tears of joy Simon." I sobbed, with laughter mixed into it. I let my embrace go. I really was going batty. Hahahaha!

"Would you two," I began, "mind if you stayed for a while? At least for the whole day or something?" HAH! I was outta my mind saying that. I outta give it a shot though, instead of feeling lonely and wanting to kill Jack, I have my two old friends back to talk to with.

"Why not! Hahahah! That's why we came here in the first place! To be with you again boss!"

"Simon's right Ralph. We're here when you need us! Unlike Jack!"

I nodded in agreement with them. They're right; I should feel more comfortable now. I have Piggy and Simon again, and Jack's troops aren't out for me, right? So what's there to worry about? When Piggy and Simon leave, I'll spend my time with Sam and Eric then. See! I have other friends! Smiling, I grabbed a hold of their shoulders, Piggy's right one, and Simon's left one. They were facing the ocean to see me, and I was facing the forest to see them. "So boys, what ya wanna do?"

"Since I really can't swim because of my asthma, can't we just put our feet into the ocean and talk?"

"Sucks for your ass-mar!" I laughed. Man, did I miss saying that! "But sure! Lets!"

And so the three of us walked back to the ocean, where I just came from, sat down, and let our feet up to our knees get enveloped by crystal blue water. The sand that came along with it tickled my toes, which made me laugh. "Enjoying yourself there boss?" I nodded, and a smile came upon Simon's darkly tanned face. His black hair kept on getting into his eyes, and so he kept on brushing them away with his hand. Piggy, who was sitting on the right side of me, picked up a shell that was next to him and caressed it gently in his arms. "The conch..." I mumbled softly. I guess it wasn't low enough because after I said that Piggy turned to me, his brown hair waving about in the wind. He pushed up his glasses with his index finger and smiled at me. "I'm surprised that you still remember Ralph!" I shook my head, "I would NEVER forget that first day. It was the first day when all of this was still clam...And I miss it dearly..."

I felt an arm being wrapped around my shoulder.

"No worries boss! Everything will be just okay!"

I looked at Simon with a worried expression. I bowed my head in shame, "I wish I could be dead like you guys..."

With that, Piggy flinched. He suddenly lifted his head up from looking at the conch, and stared at me. "Don't be stupid Ralph! Don't give up on your dream of saving us from this dreaded island!"

"More importantly boss, remember to save Jack from himself."

I gulped when Simon said that. 'Save Jack from himself'. How in the world am I to do that? That crazy ass bastard can't even save himself, so I bet I can't either!

"How about this," Simon spoke up, "we meet up with the twins, and play with them? I don't want to make my feet wrinkle up!" "Me either! Come on Ralph. We'll show ourselves to the twins!" Piggy stood up, and dusted himself off. As for Simon, he smiled once more and took back his arm from my shoulder. "You okay with that?" I looked away to the side where Piggy sat, adverting my eyes from Simon's cerulean ones. "H-how could they see you...I though it was only me?" Piggy snorted hearing this. "Ralph, this is OUR spirits! We get to reveal ourselves to whom we want to no duhh!"

A smirk crawled up my face, I really did miss Piggy's sarcastic attitude. Well, not really, but at that second I did. I stood up, with Simon mimicking me.

"Onward to the twins then boss?"

"Onward to the twins!" I pointed to the trail that led into the forest, and the three of us began walking off.

Chapter 8~ PART TWO- Jack's PoV

What the hell is Roger doing? Having my conscious back, I pushed away the stupid boy in front of me, and he stumbled down to the ground. Did he just do what the hell I thought he was just doing? Hell yes he did.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR!" It seems that all the anger in me released some forgotten cursing words that I was taught not to say back in England. A devious grin was showing on his tan face, and hell, it pissed the living shit out of me. "Answer me fool!" Silence. "ANSWER ME DAMMIT!"

"YOU STILL CAN'T TELL AFER WHAT I JUST DID TO YOU? JACK! ARE YOU THAT BLIND OF ME?" Roger had gotten back up, and he started yelling with force. I think I know why now that the littluns are scared of him. Hell, I think I'm kinda scared of him too. "Well, what the fuck do you expect me to think after you just did THAT?" I yelled back, my voice was a little shaky, so I hope he haddent heard that part much.

"That I love you..."

A shocked and blank expression came on my face. What the hell was I suppose to say to him! Did he know I loved Ralph? Ralph...RALPH! I hope he didn't see this! I really hope he didn't!

"Well..."

"Well what Roger?"

"Well I bet you hate me now right?"

"Fuck yeah I fucking do..."

"Yeah, I could tell..."

We both became quiet. Is kissing really the only way Roger could express himself? Tch, if so he is really inarticulate. But whatever...

I should really put up a conversation here. This silence-ness is starting to piss the hell out of me.

"I don't fucking get it. Why'd you do it? Why the fuck couldn't you just tell me instead of fucking kissing me?" I demanded to know the goddamn answer. Roger's attitude was really irritating me. "Because..." That's it? Because was his only answer! Dammit, do I HAVE to punch it out of him! "'Cause what fool?" "Jack, please...Stop the cussing..." His eyes were pleading with mine. Woah. His eyes were so full of hurt and sorrow, but hell this was his entire fault! "Oh stop bitching off and just tell me!"

Now Roger closed his eyes, was he scared? Who cares?

"JACK! Please! Can't you understand that I have a reason for doing this?"

I knew it. He is scared. Scared of me. "I really am I monster aren't I..." DAMMIT! I said that out loud!

"No you're not Jack. You're something more."

"Cut it out Roger." I glared at him, but I couldn't keep myself together. It's his eyes that keep stopping me from hurting him. It reminds me too much of Ralph's...Oh Ralph...

I have to tell Roger about Ralph. Whether he likes it or not.

"Look Roger...I like Ralph. That's why I'm not accepting your love." Okay, that sentence sounded REALLY gay. I'm dead serious. "I know about it. About you and Ralph." My eyes widened when I heard that. Was he telling a lie to me! Or does he really know? And how? "How the fuck do you know! Most of all, you didn't tell anybody right?" Roger shook his head to me. Was that all he could do? Screw him then. "I didn't. Promise. I would NEVER want to break our relationship." He sounded pretty seductive there, by the sound of his voice that is.

"Look...Ralph...Ralph saw..."

My eyes widened. Seriously, is Roger trying to give me a heart attack!

"You didn't see him because you were facing the sea while I was facing the forest. And he saw. But he quickly ran off..."

At this point my heart was beating like crazy! Hell, I just hope Ralph doesn't take this the wrong way! Dammit if he does! "Wh-where do you think he is right now?"

A laugh came from Roger. Man, he really is a freak... "With the twins of course. You should know that those two are the only two he's friends with." I looked away from Roger, ashamed that I forgot all about that. But why was he acting nice to be oh so suddenly...I bet he has something up his sleeve. Fuck that, I gotta explain this to Ralph first! As I ran toward the forest I stopped and faced Roger, "Thank you for telling me about Ralph...I guess." Soon as that ended I continued my run to the twins. The only place they would usually be is at the small lake that lies inside.


Yeah, I know I made Jack curse A LOT. Deepest apologies on that! REALLY. :P It was for the sake of the story though! Waaah~ I'm terrible at PoVs right? Gosh, I should just stick with regular-nessssss! Don't worry! I will with the next few chapters! And since this story will end in a few chapters (probably 3 or 4... I know, it's saaaad. But I'm not really sure though, just a guess) I'm asking for suggestions with one-shots or chapter stories! I have some ideas, but hmm...I'm not so uber sure with them... Thanks for the reviews! Hugs and cookies to all!
