Chapter 15

"I see it, I see the plane, we're back, we're finaly back." said Melissa as she pointed to the plane up the way.

Jackson and Eric looked up and smiled.

"Come on, let's speed it up then." said Melissa.

As Jackson and Melissa started to walk faster, Eric stopped them.

"Guys, it's already like 12:30, there eating lunch. Let's make a good entrance." said Eric.

"What kind of entrance?" asked Jackson.

"Just let me lead the way and let me be the first one to talk." said Eric as he walked past Mel and Jackson. Jackson and Melissa rolled there eyes, but followed Eric.

When they arrived, they were on the other side of the plane. Through the window of the plane, Jackson, Mel, and Eric could see everyone eating lunch. Eris slowly walked toward the bend followed by Jackson and Mel. when he and Jackson and Mel were there. Eric walked out first, his arms were crossed as he said :

"What kind of party is this." said Eric as he smiled and then Melissa and Jackson stepped out from the bend and went behind hem.

"We're back." said Eric.

Daley, Nathan, Taylor and Lex's mouths all dropped open. They all got up and ran to there friends. They had one big group hug when they let go they did there individual hugs.

Nathan went to Eric and hugged hem. "It's great to see you man." said Nathan.

"You too man." said Eric.

Nathan then went to Mel and hugged her, then he walked up to Jackson and gave hem a small hug. Daley hugged Eric and Melissa and then she just gave Jackson a smile. Taylor gave Jackson and Mel a hug, when she got to Eric she hugged hem tight, she was even crying because she was so happy to see hem. Lex hugged Eric and Mel. Then he went to jackson.

"Jackson!" called Lex.

Jackson looked down and bent down. "Hey buddy." said Jackson as he high fived hem and hugged hem.

When the castaways were all done hugging each other Daley finally said:

"Come on guys, have a seat, have something to eat you guys must be hungry." said Daley as she lead them to the fire.

Everyone sat down. Nathan gave them some fresh fruit. Taylor looked up and then gazed around and spoke:

"Where's Abby?" asked Taylor as she bit her lip.

Jackson, Melissa, and Eric exchanged glances and then Jackson spoke up:

"I guess we'll start at the beginning." said Jackson.

Jackson, Eric, and Melissa all took turns telling a part of there adventure. Everyone laughed when Melissa told everyone about the monkey that went on Eric's head. That was the only thing they laughed at though.( Of course Eric, Mel, and Jackson left out the crying and PMS stuff though)

Everyone's eyes widened as they told what Abby had down, the punching and threatening. They had now told the entire adventure, but Melissa was now in the middle of telling what happened to Abby.

"It happened so fast. The last word she said was good-bye, she then took the knife and killed herself. She fell to the ground instantly. She was gone. Blood was all over the sand. We decided to burry her. Jackson and Eric dug the whole in the sand, I made the cross..." said Melissa as tears were coming down her face. Taylor was crying as well, even Daley. Nathan looked like he was about to butb he was staying strong.

Jackson could see that she couldn't finish up the story, so he continued for her.

"After we buried her, Melissa put the cross at the head of her grave. We then cleaned the blood of the sand. We were just about to get ready to pack up, when Melissa made this circle of rocks, she then put something in the middle of it. It was a piece of bark, from one of the trees. She carved something on it. It said: R.I.P. Abby She was strong. We then stood there in silence for a few minutes, packed up and left." said Jackson.

After Jackson had finished, know one could move or speak.

Nathan then finally spoke up.

"How...how far is her grave from camp?" asked Nathan.

"Umm about 2, 1 and half days down, something like that." said Eric.

"So you guys didn't find any signs of the others?" aksed Taylor.

"No, but we wish." said Melissa as she wiped her tears away.

"You guys need to take it easy today, try to just rest today, no jobs or chores or anything." said Daley.

Eric and Jackson nodded there heads.

"Daley, let me boil the water, it's not a big job and it's a sitting job and plus you guys do need a few more hands to help out." sai Melissa.

"you sure Mel?" asked Daley.

"Yea and it will keep my mind off..." Mel's voice faded, but everyone knew what she was saying.

When they all finished lunch Taylor went of to the beach to do the laundry and to charge the batteries. Nathan went to the well, he was lugging the water. Daley and Lex went to get more fruit, since they were running low, Eric went to the beach to sit and think, Melissa got to work on boiling the water, and Jackson went into the plane to sleep.

About 20, 25 minutes later Nathan returned from the well with two jugs aof water, he then picked up two more empty jugs and walked back off to the well. Melissa who wa boiling water, watched him leave. When Nathan was out of dight, she stood up and gazed around no one was coming so she walked towards the plane, undid the flap and looked in, she saw Jackson asleep on his sleeping bag, she stood there watching hem and thinking.

"We're finally back, Thank god, we almost died a number of times out there. I could of lost Jackson. We'll at least I can watch over him now. He sleeps so cute. We kissed last night, I can't believe it. Wow." Melissa thought as she watched him sleep.

As she was watching hem, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She jumped and turned around. It was Eric. She quickly closed the flap of the plane, and walked over, a little far away from the plane.

"What were you doing?" asked Eric.

"Umm uhh I.. was just looking at the plane, I haven't see it in a while and i...I was just looking at it." said Melissa.

"You're a terrible lier Mel." said Eric as he turned around and started walking offback to the beach.

"Wait Eric, if you know what I was doing, why aren't you blackmailing me, or doing something else to torcher me." said Melissa as she ran up to hem .

"Mel, I've changed. And plus everyone knows you like him and I know that he likes you. I'm not gonna say anything about that though. Thats your buisness. People have to change sometime." said Eric as he walked off towards the beach.

Melissa just stood there in amazment as Eric walked off towards the beach.

Eric walked towards where he was sitting before, he then starred looking at the ocean once again. Taylor then saw hem and walked up to hem and sat down next to hem.

"Hey, glad your back." said Taylor as she smiled.

"Glad to be back." said Eric as he smiled.

"Eric, are you ok you seem different." asked Taylor.

"We'll I've had something on my mind and we'll can I ask you something?" asked Eric as he faced her.
