Hey everyone! Guess what! Fanfiction's not being a poo anymore! I can read all my reviews, and they made me oh so very happy! I'm glad people seem to like the way the story is going, and people seem to like Lizzie as well, which is what I was going for. There's gonna be more Roger action later in the story, but this ones just more of Jack and Lizzie hanging out. You find out a little more about Lizzie. There's a part in this chapter that makes me want to go into the story and give her a big hug. Another part that can either be read as funny or dramatic. Depends how you look at it. Anyways we're almost to the part where Jack finds out who her brother is. The clues are gonna get bigger and bigger as time goes on and he's gonna seem like a complete and utter doofus for not figuring it out. There's a pretty big clue embedded in another story of mine if you look closely. If anyone figures out what it is, don't tell anyone and ruin it for me. I like to imagine that I'm really good at keeping it a secret when I know I'm not. SO yea, anyways, here's the chapter, hope you like!

After the fight, we only see Roger at meals and he's always glaring daggers at us. He's really starting to scare Lizzie. She doesn't understand why he's still so mad. He's starting to freak me out too. My roommate Davy says Roger put someone in the hospital a few weeks before I got here. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that, piece of his diagnosis is a compulsive liar, but I wouldn't put it past Roger. I have more and more nightmares about the island, and Lizzie has somehow worked her way into them. Taking the place of the littlun with the mulberry birthmark, and getting swallowed by a wall of flames. Getting beat to death in the place of Simon. Replacing Piggy, Roger crushing her with a giant boulder. Other, worse ones as well. I hate sleeping now.

Sleeping issues aside, I've got bigger problems. My parents are planning to come and visit me and take me out to lunch. I'm not so keen on that idea. I'm angry at them is part of it. But there's something else that makes me dislike the idea even more. Earlier, I wouldn't have cared, but it's different now. I'm nervous to leave Lizzie by herself. What if Roger hurts her? It might just be my paranoia speaking, but I feel like something will go wrong. I tell Lizzie about my parents visiting, and she doesn't seem to share my views.

"Your mommy and daddy are coming?" She asks excitedly. She jumps up and down clapping her hands. Then she throws her arms around me. "Jacky! That's so exciting!" I chuckle.

"Yea, I guess," I say unenthusiastically. She looks congused and crinkles up her face.

"Jacky? Why don't you sound happy?" She asks. I can't exactly tell her I'm worried, because that would scare her and make her worried too. So, I tell her half of it.

"I'm mad at them for just dumping me here withoiut even calling until a week or two later." I tell her.

"I wish my mommy and daddy could visit," She says wistfully.

"Do they talk to you often?"

"The last time I saw them was when my big brother died last year," Lizzie answers sadly. "Mommy and daddy have to work. But they'll visit soon," she tells me, nodding earnestly. Her voice gets quiet. "They promised." I"m beginning to wonder if her brother was the only one that ever came to see her. It would be terrible to be a girl like Lizzie and have a family like that. "Hey Jacky?"

"Yea," I answer.

"I need you to tell me something really wicked awesome," she says.

"Like what?"

"A really honest and truly true thing that happened in real life," she explains.

"Okay, I can do that."

"To you! It had to happen to you1" She adds. I think. Nothing very interesting about me except... no, I can't tell her about that! But she wouldn't care. Maybe I should tell her.

"I survived a plane crash!" I blurt without thinking. Her emerald eyes go wide.

"Really? What happened to you Jacky? Did you get lots of owies?" I smile.

"Tons!" I exclaim. She gasps.

"Did your mommy put Band-Aids on them and make them all better?" she asks hopefully. I shake my head.

"Nope. My mommy wasn't there. It was just me and abouth thirty other boys. We had to take care of ourselves without any mommies or daddies or grown ups! Everyone was so young, I was the oldest one there!" She gasps again. "Roger was there too. We were all stuck on an island. We had to hunt for food, and build fires and shelters. We even had a chief, named Ralph." Lizzie's eyes get big and wide.

"What did Ralph look like Jacky?"

"He had blonde hair, and blue eyes. I'm pretty sure he was my age or a year younger."

"Oooh. I think I know that Ralph. He moved to Neverland. What else happened?"

"We all started arguing and split up. I became chief of a separate tribe all full of just hunters until we got rescued." Lizzie pouts.

"Well that's not very exciting." I raise an eyebrow at her.

"It's not?" She shakes her head.

"Sounds boring!" I have to tell her something. I need to get her interest back. I'm not sure why, I just do.

"Hey Lizzie, can I tell you a secret?" She nods.

"Sure Jacky. I love secrets!" I look around to make sure nobody's in earshot, then whisper:

"I killed somebody on the island." I'm not sure why I told her. Why I care if she though what happened was interesting or not. Now I wish I could take it back, say something about the beastie, or the hunting, or the big forest fire I set. She'll think I'm just as bad as Roger. She'll hate me! But now it's out there and there's no going back. Shockingly, Lizzie doesn't look surprised. SHe doesn't even blink.

"Hey Jacky, can I tell you a secret?" Lizzie asks.

"Of course you can," I reply. She leans over and whispers:

"I already know."

Duh. Duh. DUH! That was my dramatic piano music. I wonder how much Lizzie knows and how she knows it. Is she psychic? Can she talk to ghosts? Did a certain somebody tell her before he died? I have no idea! I thought about writing more, but I decided to be mean and make you wonder how she knows and what she knows. Aren't I wonderful to you peoples? Sarcasm! Anyways, If I get lots of reviews I'll try my best to write as much as I possibly can and give you a big long chapter, which has been kinda hard to do with this story. But anyways, see you next time and please review!
