The next morning Andre woke up to the sunlight streaming in and illuminating the dark cave, as well as birds chirping and waves crashing on the beach. He felt like he was in a 5 star getaway resort or something along those lines, but when he propped himself up to get a better view, the aches and pains in his body reminded him otherwise. He had been exhausted to begin with, but sleeping on the hard rock had made it worse. Andre stood up anyways, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jade and Beck sleeping peacefully a couple yards away. By now Jade was basically using Beck as a mattress. Andre felt a pang of…jealousy? No, no it couldn't be. He had gotten over his short-lived crush on Jade. Completely…right? Andre just pushed the feeling away and made a mental note to laugh at Beck for being so whipped when they got out of this mess. Which brought him to the problem he had been avoiding for the past few minutes. How the hell were they going to get out of here?
Andre didn't want to wake up Beck and Jade, he didn't even know why he was awake so early because he was so damn tired! Then he realized he was starving. And thirsty. Jesus Christ, was he supposed to play Castaway and go find volleyball to talk to? Andre tried to channel his inner man or whatever, and went outside the cave to look for food. What he saw was stunning. There were palm trees everywhere, decorated with colorful birds, flowers and butterflies. The sun reflected on the sand, making each grain sparkle like a tiny crystal. The sky was clear blue with puffy white clouds lazily floating around. The water was a vivid turquoise and calm as could be. Andre looked away though, stupid ocean, mocking him with its suddenly peaceful behavior. "Yeah where was that last night huh?" Andre said aloud to the sea, and then shook his head as he started to walk aimlessly into the forest of palm trees. He was already losing it and they'd only been there for less than a day.
Jade woke up next. She slowly opened her eyes to the bright morning sun. She guessed it was about 11am before she quickly shut them again, but too late, she was already in agony. Why did she have to wake up? She couldn't remember falling asleep, only tossing and turning between the hard floor and Beck's warm body. She tried to sit up, but immediately got extremely dizzy and fell back onto Beck with a thud.
"Ow Jadeeee." He whined, confused. Then his eyes fluttered open and he remembered what was going on. "Are you ok? What's wrong?"
"My head." Jade attempted to moan, but she had forgotten about her raw throat. The words cut it like knives. Beck carefully felt along the back of her head, until she let out a strangled shriek. He felt dried blood in her salty hair. Damn. He parted away the hair and gasped. There was a deep gash, and it was about 2 inches wide. It was a bloody mess, mixed with her tangled hair. Beck felt sick. This was a really bad injury, like emergency room worthy. He had known she was in a lot of pain, but he was hoping she was just being her usual overdramatic self. Now Beck realized she had actually been downplaying everything. He shut his eyes tightly, just wishing that somehow, it would disappear. However, when he opened his eyes, the terrible gash was still there. He tried to think of what to do about this, and how to keep it from getting infected, and how to get her stitches, and all the normal things you could do for your girlfriend with a severe head injury if you weren't trapped on a deserted island! Maybe Andre would know what to do?
He looked around in the unfamiliar cave. "Jade where's Andre?"
Crap, she had no idea. What if he had been eaten by some exotic cannibal tribe or something? He was actually one of the few people Jade tolerated without complaining, which in her world basically meant they were friends. She would hate if he was abducted by tribal freaks, plus she and Beck needed him to help get off this island! She couldn't do much, and Beck was no Tarzan. So Jade sort of started to hyperventilate as she squeaked out "I have no idea."
Beck couldn't really make out her words, but he knew by the look of utter fear in her eyes that she had no clue where Andre was.
"I'm going to go look for him." Beck said, and it wasn't up for debate. Andre was a good guy, and Beck owed it to him to try and find him. But, he knew that meant leaving Jade here. Alone. She could barely sit up, let alone go on an island adventure with him. Jade realized this too, but she knew Beck had to look for Andre. So she kissed him passionately before she let him get up and walk away. "I love you." He said, and then walked out into the blinding midday sun.
