When Andre woke up that morning he snapped his eyes closed again as fast as he could. His dream had been so wonderful. It was one of those dreams that was so realistic when you woke up you had to convince yourself it didn't actually happen. He and the gang were all at Maestro's and there was so much good food everywhere. He could almost taste that rich, chocolate cake. Cat had been incessantly insisting lobster potatoes grew in nature, Robbie was being insulted by Rex, Tori was there laughing at Andre's jokes and looking pretty as always, and Beck and Jade were whispering sweetly in each other's ears. No injuries, no starvation, no homesickness. His dream was perfect, why did he have to wake up?
He checked to make sure Beck and Jade were still…well they weren't exactly okay to begin with. They were still there though, and breathing. That's always good! Andre shook his head in disbelief as to what counted for good news around here. 'Oh look, they haven't died yet! This should be a national holiday!' Andre mumbled to himself while he threw more wood into the fire. Talking to himself had become his norm since they got here. This was not okay. He was about to go into the forest to replenish their coconut supply, when he heard a sound. It wasn't an island sound; no it was definitely a normal, civilized-world sound. His ears perked up and he listened closer. It sounded like a horn. But it was so far away! Could ears hallucinate? He had been missing his music. Andre looked around, wondering where the noise was coming from. The wind was blowing quickly making it hard to determine the direction. He looked up, but there were no planes in sight. All around him was empty beach and wild forest. Finally he looked out into the sea, but couldn't see a thing due to the sun that was rising over the water. Andre made a visor with his hands and squinted into the light. His heart stopped then picked up twice as fast when he saw it. A small dot on the horizon. A boat! Andre grabbed handfuls of the white sand and threw them into the air, letting it rain down on him like confetti while he let out a loud cheer of pure joy. Then he hurried into the cave.
"BECK! JADE! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" He yelled giddily. They were much to slow for his liking. "DUDE!"
"Jeeze, what?" Beck asked groggily.
"WE'RE SAVED!" Andre said, and his smile was so wide it looked like his face would crack in half at any second. "COME LOOK THERE'S A BOAT HEADED TOWARDS THE ISLAND!"
"Really? That's amazing. Could you shut the hell up?" Jade whispered raspily. She instantly regretted her harsh words but she was in too much discomfort to apologize. She rubbed her temples and shivered. Andre had every right to be screaming as loud as he possibly could right now, but Jade's head was throbbing like a…like…well it was just freaking throbbing! She couldn't come up with a proper comparison through her pain. Jade truly was relieved and overjoyed that they were going home, and someone could finally fix whatever was wrong with her head. She felt a little bad she brought the party down, but she could've punched Andre in the face and he would still be happy.
"Come on Jade, let's go see the boat!" Beck said softly, but extremely enthusiastically. He fought the urge to jump to his feet and swim through the ocean to the boat right then, but he patiently stood up and lifted Jade princess style before walking to out to the shore. Sure enough, there was a boat. It was closer now and coming closer still. Beck was struggling to keep from yelling out in happiness, but he restrained himself to a huge grin for Jade's sake. Thank God, she would finally get to a doctor! His heart swelled with relief and thankfulness. He looked down at the girl in his arms. He lost himself in thought, staring at her and wondering how it was possible to love one person so much.
"Beck stop staring, it's creepy." Jade said so softly Beck could barely hear, but she did strain to give him a tiny smile. Then her eyelids drooped shut. She fluttered them open again, but once more her heavy lids closed. This time she let them stay that way. She was comfortable in Beck's arms, it was the only place she had been comfortable in on this entire island. She knew help was coming soon, and she felt relaxed and safe for the first time in what felt like forever. She heard Andre and Beck's hushed but excited conversation get farther and farther away as she drifted closer and closer to unconsciousness.
Cat could hardly contain her impatience.
"Can't this boat go any faster?" She whined for the thirtieth time since they had left the dock, at 7:30 that morning. The captain ignored her as he had done for the last twenty-nine times she had asked. Cat, Robbie and Tori were not a pretty sight, still in their clothes from the day before that had been drenched in the storm. Not to mention the girls' makeup was long gone. But for once in her life, Cat didn't care in the least what she looked like. She pushed her tangled, dirty hair out of her eyes and let her lips spread into a triumphant smile when she finally saw the island coming closer. Her heart picked up, she couldn't wait to see Andre, Jade and Beck! She started jumping up and down, unable to contain her excitement.
Robbie glanced up from his seat on the deck. He frowned at Cat, he knew how excited she was. But what if something had happened to their friends? He was prepared for the worst. He just didn't know if Cat could handle it if they weren't…okay. He looked over at Tori, and knew from her expression she was thinking the same thing.
After another half hour of sailing, the boat finally reached shore. Cat tore down the ramp and onto the beach, straight into Andre's waiting arms. She bear-hugged him until he couldn't breathe, giggling and squealing the whole time, then she was about to hug Beck, but couldn't due to the fact that he was carrying Jade. Then she noticed Jade's eyes were closed. And she wasn't moving.
"Beck?" She whispered. She looked up at him with huge, scared eyes. "What's wrong with Jadey?"
