Hey, people! Sorry about the wait. I was going to post again last weekend, but it ended up being ten times busier than I expected so I didn't get around to it. So without further ado... Chapter 8!

"Yeah, everything is JUST peachy!"

MAX'S POV

In my defense, I had no idea we were going to crash land.

"Babe, everything will be fine," I try to soothe Lulu.

She glares at more, "Are you sure everything isn't going to be just PEACHY?! Because that seems to be your inaccurate description th everything!"

I grab into her shoulders.

"Lulu," I say looking her in her eyes. "You need to calm down."

She continuestare glare at me as the stewardess comes over the speaker.

"We ask everyone to please put on your life jackets and fasten your seatbelya for the landing."

I could tell Lulu was still upset. We put on our life jackets and fastened in tight.

Lulu faced forward, tilted her head back, and closed her eyes.

I held her hand in mine and gave it a quick squeeze.

She turned her head slightly and smiled, returning the squeeze.

I faced forward and prepared myself for the "landing."

LULU'S POV

i was definitely still mad at Max, but if we die today, I'm not going to go without his hand in mine. I pushed all the anger into the back of my head and smiled at him.

No matter how mad I am, I still love him.

I live him.

Those three words stir a new feeling inside of me.

My train of thought was interrupted by the jolts of the plane landing.

Haha, landing. Crashing is more like it.

All at once my anger resurfaced.

My eyes shot open, and my head snapped toward Max.

When I looked into his eyes, I saw fear. I could feel my heart and eyes soften.

Anger is my way of showing fear.

I know it's not Max's fault no matter how much I do, or want to blame him for this mess.

At that moment Max pulls my neck toward him.

He kisses me.

This wasn't one of those sweet kisses. It was one full of passion, and I could feel all of his love for me through it.

He pulled me close and whispered into my ear, "I'm not afraid of what is happening or is going to happen. I'm afraid ill have to go through it without you."

I didn't know what to say.

So I didn't say a word.

The jolting abruptly stopped.

I sigh a huge sigh of relief.

Grabbing Max's face in my hands, I say, "You will never have to do anything without me."

He smiles and places his hands over mine, "I love you."

He kisses me gently.

I pull back and look into his eyes, "I love you, too."

Everyone starts to unbuckle their seats and stretch.

Max plants one more kiss on my lips before unbuckling his seatbelt and standing for himself.

I follow suit, and soon enough we are filing into teat water to begin our swim to what everybody hopes is a deserted island.

Thanks for reading! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I will post next weekend for sure. I'm hoping I can get another one before then, but that's not a promise!
