Jade slowly awakened out of her short fainting spell. Beck had set her on the ground, and she looked around frantically in the black night to find him. She saw Andre sleeping on the other side of the huge fire. Her head was spinning but this time it was from hunger. They had been here two days now and she had only eaten a banana. She moaned as she felt dizzy and started seeing stars apart from the ones in the sky. She looked to Beck, hoping he could get her something to eat, but when she saw the look on his face her heart stopped dead. His features were set in a confusing mixture of fury and despair. Then he threw back his head and screamed "FUCK YOU!" At the…sky? Jade had no idea.
"Beck?" She whispered, not knowing what was going on. The last thing she remembered was Beck telling her to look at something, before she passed out in his arms. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Jade! Thank god you're awake! Here eat something." He said, the anger on his face replaced with relief, and he ran to the cave quickly returning with two bananas and a coconut full of milk. She ate all of it quickly, but she couldn't enjoy the end of her starvation because of Beck's anxious expression. Every time she tried to ask him a question he gave her a pleading look and told her to just eat first. So she did, but when she was done she needed some answers.
"Beck, what just happened?" She asked, concerned.
Beck just sighed. He was calming down a bit now, after Jade had eaten and seemed relatively normal. But her feeling slightly better didn't change the fact that her cut was infected, or that the plane had just flew right by them and they were all stuck here. He shook his head in disbelief as he replayed the scene over and over in his mind, his previous irritation flooding back. Beck was ripped from his memories by Jade's small cold hand on his own. Her fingers were freezing so he took both her hands into his before he met her eyes. He couldn't stand it. How could he look into her concerned, hurt and loving blue eyes, and tell her that he had blown it? That he and Andre hadn't been able to stop the plane? The regret grew inside of him more and more as he looked at her, the love of his life, that he had completely and inexcusably let down. That was the best shot they ever had at getting off this island, and he just let it pass. Beck sighed and looked away from Jade's heartbreaking eyes.
"Before you fainted, you came out here, remember?" He asked gently, hoping she wouldn't be mad at him for not saving them. She had every right to be furious, he thought, but he didn't know if he could take her being angry with him at this point. She nodded quietly waiting expectantly for him to continue.
"And me and Andre were running around with fire and yelling and all that. Jade…." He took a deep breath before he said "Jade there was a plane. It flew right over us and we tried so hard to get it to notice us, so hard. But right when it was above us and we thought it would stop, it just kept going. I'm so sorry Jade, I would do anything to relive that moment and I would make sure that damn plane rescued us!"
His voice started to rise with anger at that idiotic tease of a plane by the end of his little rant. He watched Jade carefully, holding his breath for her reaction. Waiting for her to yell at him for not trying hard enough or make some sarcastic remark, or maybe even a dejected acceptance of his apology. But he hadn't expected her to cry. At first he didn't even realize, she just let her head hang down and was staring at her long, pale legs, which were covered in sand. Beck was sitting next to her, and was still holding her hands tightly, unwilling to let go. Then he noticed her shoulders quiver the slightest bit, and he heard her sniffle almost silently. "Jade?" He asked, his voice practically inaudible with surprise. As soon as he spoke, she let out a sob and the tears started to flow uncontrollably from her eyes. He didn't hesitate to pull her up onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her and crushing her tightly to his chest. She continued to cry, and shudders racked through her entire body. Beck pulled her closer, if possible, trying to comfort her as best he could.
"Jade, baby please don't cry." He begged. "Please, I promise I'll make it okay." Seeing her this broken was killing him. Ever since they got this island she had been weak and vulnerable, but this was getting to be more than he could take. He hushed her and rubbed circles on her back like she was a child. She started to calm down, and he carefully wiped the tears from her cheeks, wishing he could wipe away all of her pain and sadness with them.
"Beck, I-I'm" She stuttered, looking for the right words. "Scared." She finally whispered. The word burned her lips, she downright hated being so vulnerable and afraid. She also felt terrible, because Beck had been doing everything he could possibly do to take care of her and get her home, while she was just useless. But as much as Jade hated to cry to Beck when he was doing his best to do everything right, she couldn't help herself. What if they never got out of here? What if they all died? She couldn't take it if Beck died. Even the thought made her nauseous, she couldn't imagine being without him. She snuggled deeper into his warm embrace.
"I know baby. I am too." Beck answered honestly. He bent to press a kiss to Jade's forehead, and let his lips linger there for a drawn out moment. "But Jade I promise you; I swear to you, that we will get out of here. I'll do anything."
And he would've too. He was seriously considering swimming through the ocean until he found land, but who knows how far they were or what direction they came from? At least on a raft they wouldn't die of exhaustion or drown…hopefully. It's better than nothing. Beck reminded himself. How much better? They would have to find out.
Beck looked down at Jade, who had fallen asleep in his lap. He slowly lay down, pulling her with him. He pressed another kiss to her forehead and whispered I love you before he went to sleep as well. Beck couldn't wait for the morning to come, because then they could finish the raft and get the hell off this island. He forced himself to keep thinking positive, and he eventually fell asleep.
Andre woke up to a massive crack of thunder, and it felt like the entire island had been shaken. He quickly got to his feet, just in time to be drenched in the suddenly sheeting rain. Great. He looked to make sure Beck and Jade were in the cave and wasn't surprised to see Beck already rushing Jade towards it half carrying her, half shielding her from the rain. Andre ran in as well, and they all stood there panting and dripping. Andre looked at his friend's faces. He would've liked to say something encouraging to remove the crippled looks on their faces, but there was nothing to say. Jade looked weak and exhausted, seriously this chick needed a doctor, and she lay down with Beck quickly following suit. So Andre just lay back down, not willing to face the problems they were about to encounter just yet. He shut his eyes but couldn't sleep due to the booming thunder and the rhythmic chattering of Jade's teeth. This was turning out to be a long, torturous night.
