Andre couldn't contain his excitement. He hadn't even known if he would see Beck or Jade again, but now here they both were! He ran towards them, closing the last few yards, and engulfed them into a huge bear hug. Since Jade was still in Beck's arms, it was more like a sandwich, but it didn't matter. They stood like that for a couple minutes until Beck cleared his throat and stepped back, both of them laughing awkwardly at the extreme bromance moment. After that, Andre led Beck and Jade back over to the fire, where Beck immediately set Jade down. She looked freezing, her lips were blue and her teeth were chattering even in her sleep. Andre longed to lay there with her, to hold her and to warm up her cold body. He sighed when he saw Beck doing exactly that, but he knew it was Beck's job and not his own. So he added some wood to the fire and fetched the water and some bananas.
"Here. Give these to Jade when she wakes up." He said. He hadn't meant for it to come out so gruffly. Andre couldn't let himself act this way! He had no right to be jealous of Beck! He softened his voice and then said "And here's a banana for you. I'm so glad you're okay man." And he meant it.
Beck gladly accepted the water and food, and smiled at Andre's caring personality. He really was a great friend. Although he was acting a bit weird since they got here, who could blame him? Andre's eyes lingered on Jade a bit too long occasionally, but he was probably just glad that she was back, maybe he was checking for more injuries? It didn't matter. Beck was more than lucky to have such a great friend, he was blessed. Imagine if he had been on this island with Robbie…or even worse…Trina. So he eagerly tore open his banana peel, and enjoyed the soft sweet fruit. He pulled Jade tighter against him, she was shivering less but still freezing to the touch. He stayed awake for as long as he could to see if Jade would wake up and ask him for food or anything, but eventually his exhaustion over took him and his sleepy lids closed for the night. He kissed Jade on the temple. "I love you." He said sleepily, and then drifted off into dreamland.
In the middle of the night, Jade woke up to a searing pain coming directly from where the Jet Ski had hit. It felt like someone had poured a bottle of Purell straight into her wound. Her hand flew to the back of her head and she felt a warm liquid in her hair. She pulled her hand back, and by the light of the fire she saw the bright red blood dripping off her fingers. Jade had no idea what to do. With every beat of her heart more blood pulsed through her gash, causing more and more agony. Plus, Jade was absolutely freezing. All besides her head which felt like she had stuck it into the fire. "Beck." She whispered, even the whispering added to her headache, "Beck wake up." His eyes opened groggily, but he instantly became alert when he saw Jade's troubled expression.
"What is? What's going on?"
"My head…hurts." Jade whimpered, and then she swallowed. Her voice still cracked when she said, "A lot, Beck. I don't know what to do."
Beck's heart shattered at the desperation in her voice. He longed for her to be alright, he yearned for her to feel no more pain. But this wasn't some nightmare he could wake up from and have Jade yell at him to get her some coffee, no this was real. He had to fix this himself. So Beck carefully pulled Jade closer to the fire and looked at her cut in the light. The skin around it was swollen under her hair, and it had started to bleed again. Beck racked his brain for anything, anything, that would be useful right now. He was drawing a complete blank. He noticed Jade was slipping into unconsciousness again, but if nothing else she needed to eat. Beck shook her gently and handed her a banana. She peeled it and ate it silently, and it seemed like a struggle the way she winced when she chewed. Seeing Jade hurt like this was pushing Beck over the edge. Then he remembered! Back when Jade had gotten her eyebrow pierced, the lady had told her to wash it out with salt water every night to kill any infections. Salt killed bacteria! Beck was almost giddy with his solution, but he wouldn't be happy until Jade felt better.
"Andre! Yo Andre get up!" Beck yelled across to Andre. Beck regretted yelling when he saw Jade wince at the loud noise. Andre groaned and rolled over before rubbing his eyes.
"Huh? Is Jade okay?" He asked frantically.
"No I'm pretty positive her cut got infected. But I need you to go get some salt water and help me clean it out."
Soon enough, Andre had filled a coconut with sea water and brought it over to Jade and Beck. Jade looked limp in Beck's arms.
"Okay baby this is going to hurt a little bit." Beck said. He hated that he would be causing her even more pain, but there was no choice. "But don't worry it will help you heal."
With that Beck positioned Jade in his lap facing him, with her head on his shoulder so that Andre could pour the water over the ugly gash. He held his breath as the clear liquid came in contact with her cut. Jade started to struggle to get out of Beck's grasp, but he held her tightly. There was no other way. Beck gladly accepted Jade's nails digging into the skin on his hand. He took pleasure when in her struggles to get away she kneed him in the stomach. He even enjoyed when she bit down on his shoulder. Anything that would cause him pain instead of Jade he would gladly accept. She had suffered more than enough. By now, Andre had finished pouring the salt water. Jade didn't loosen her hold on Beck though, so Beck held her back just as tightly. Andre sat down beside them and put his arm around both of them. It was almost morning and no one was in the mood to sleep, even though they were all exhausted. So the three of them sat like that until the sun came up, signaling the start to another long, stressful day. How many more days could they go on like this? Everyone was wondering, but no one dared to say it out loud. Because they all had a pretty good guess. Not many.
