Authors note:

Hey everybody thanks for all the comments this is my first fanfiction so please keep commenting. I'm trying to get where the couples are at in these first three chapters of the story. But don't worry action and drama are coming real soon. So don't think that this story is all about about romance, even though romance is good. Thanks for reading, and continue to read! Thanks so much.

Chapter 2

When everyone had gotten back to camp, Nathan, Melissa, and Jackson went out to get fish. While Taylor and Eric went to get firewood, and Daley and Lex went to get water.

"Daley?"

"Yeah Lex." She said as they were walking to the water hole.

"What do you think is going to happen to us?"

Daley stopped walking and turned around to put her arms around her brother. "I don't know Lex."

"I don't want this to become our home."

"Me neither." Daley began to wipe her eyes. "Me neither."

Nathan and Melissa were sitting down on the sand, as Jackson was setting up the fishing supplies.

"Hey, Melissa?"

"Yeah?"

"If there was something wrong. . , you would tell me wouldn't you?"

"You know I would." Melissa answered at first without hearing the tone in his voice. She could tell that something was wrong. "Why?"

"I just wanted to make sure."

They sat in silence for awhile, both thinking. They watched as Jackson tried to catch some fish for the group.

Melissa looked over at Nathan. He looked lost. But then she thought to herself, We're all lost. She could tell that his mind was somewhere else. "If something was wrong with you, Nathan, would you tell me?"

Nathan was quiet for a second before he answered, "Of course."

"Then tell me Nathan." She said placing her hand on his shoulder.

Nathan looked up at her and smiled. "Well, you know how I fell about . .," He looked around to make sure Jackson wasn't around. "Daley. Well when I saw her today. She was crying. I don't know I guess I'm just worried about her."

"Nathan," She said, her hand still resting on his shoulder. "Everyone was scared today. Today was a scary day."

She gave him a reassuring smile. He smiled in return, but she knew he was still worried.

"If it will make you feel any better… I talk to her."

"Thanks, Mel. You're the best." Nathan gave Melissa a hug, and went off to help Jackson.

Taylor and Eric had been walking through the jungle looking for fire wood. They had kind of stooped looking altogether, but Taylor reminded him they couldn't go back without it. Daley would never let it go.

Eric started to head back, but turned around at the sound of Taylor scream. "Eeww. . . what is that?"

Eric ran back over to her. "What's what?" He asked a safe distance away.

"That thing over there," Taylor shouted. "Go see what it is." Taylor pushed Eric over by the tree.

"Ok! Ok!" He said, straightening his shirt out.

Eric bent over and looked. There was something green and fuzzy moving on the tree. "Wooh! I don't know what that is." He backed up, and stood a ways behind Taylor.

"Where are you going? You're the man, come over here and kill it."

"No way!" Eric shouted, and started to run back to camp.

"Hey, don't leave me here!" Taylor shouted, running behind him.

Eric stated to run faster, and didn't notice that something was sticking up in ground.

"Ouch!" He yelled hitting the ground hard.

Taylor was running behind him and tripped. She fell right on top of him.

They both started laughing. Then Taylor punched him in the arm. "Don't ever leave me again."

"I won't, . . . I promise." He had tried to make it sound sarcastic, but it came out in a different way.

They both noticed the change in his voice. They stared at each for a while. Then Eric lifted his head to kiss her, but before he could Taylor jumped up.

"Let's not do this."Taylor said looking away from his face

"What?" Eric said standing up,confussed.He thought that they were both on the same page. "What are you talking about? Taylor, I . . ."

"Eric come on now! You don't really think that we could . . . that you and me. . that . . . us together," Taylor said shaking. "I gotta go." She started running toward camp.

" Taylor, wait!" Eric started to run after her. But by the time Eric reached her they were back at camp, and he didn't want everybody to know. So he tried not to look suspicious.
