Title: Chaos amongst them.

Rating: T for now but that may change as they story progresses.

Summary: The survivors of flight 29 DWN have survived storms, sicknesses, injuries and each other. But when tempers run high, and the stress of it all becomes too much for the survivors to handle they begin falling apart one by one. Will they be able to band together before disaster strikes or will they be too late to save one of their own?

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, the show, or any of the songs and artist that I choose to use. This is just for fun.

A/N:This chapter explains what the boys were doing during chapter one and their POV on everything going on. I wanted to have two separate chapters, one for the boys and one for the girls for the first two chapters. The rest of the chapters will continue normally with all of them in it.


Chapter two: Lost souls

'Song: Colors by Crossfade'

Eric looked around to be sure no one was watching before he sat the two empty jugs down by the well and walked into the thick forest. He only walked a couple of minutes before he was sure he was out of sight from the others. He sat down on the ground and leaned up against a tree. He covered his eyes with his straw hat and slowly began to doze in and out of sleep. When he opened his eyes again and moved the hat from over his eyes he noticed that the sun had changed position by a good amount which meant a couple hours had passed since he laid down. His eye widened as he shot up and ran back to the well. He had to be sure to keep Daley and Nathan off his back. He couldn't handle anymore of their 'we're all alone speeches.' He quickly filled both the jugs half way up before he picked them up and headed back to camp.

He couldn't believe he let his self fall asleep completely….well he could but he knew he would hear about it for the next two weeks. He suddenly stopped when he heard yelling coming from the same direction as camp. He narrowed his eyes and put the jugs of water down before sneaking into the forest to get a closer look. When he got close enough to camp he saw Daley standing over Taylor yelling ruthlessly at her about not working. Eric could hear most of what she was saying. Taylor looked stunned and even hurt.

"…one of us is going to die because of the lack of help from you and it's not going to be anyone else's fault but yours!"

Eric's mouth dropped as the words poured from Daley's mouth. He'd never seen or heard Daley ever be that ruthless towards anyone ever. Even when he was caught sleeping a dozen times in one day. He seen Daley stomp off and he dunked down so he wouldn't be seen. Once she was gone he stood back up but by the time he did Taylor was already gone. What was wrong with her? No one should ever say that to anyone especially when they are already fighting to survive. He felt bad for Taylor, he actually felt bad for another human-being. Yeah he had a crush on he since…well forever but still he would fell bad even if it was Nathan. It wasn't long before he seen Jackson storming off in the same direction that Daley had. Eric dropped down to the ground and leaned up against a tree. I wonder if he seen it too… Eric thought.

Can you feel it crush you? Does it seem to bring the worst in you out?
There's no running away from these things that hold you down
Do they complicate you because they make you feel like this?
Of all the colors that you've shined this is surely not your best

But you should know these colors that you're shining are...

Jackson laid on the sand with the fishing pole stuck in the ground beside him. The shade from the trees kept him from getting to hot or even worse sun burned. He must've been there for a few hours and he still hadn't caught anything. He sat up and sighed and lifted the line from the water. Nothing, the leach he'd been using for bait was still on the hook. He sighed out of frustration before he tossed the line beside the pole and stood up. He walked back towards camp with the empty bottle of water in his hand. When he got with in hearing distance he could hear someone yelling. It wasn't a hurt, or in trouble yell, it was something else, something that didn't sound good. He walked faster towards camp by the time he could see what was going on he heard the words slip out of Daley's mouth. He froze in shock and stared at them.

He couldn't believe what he heard. What the hell is she thinking? Jackson thought as he walked towards them but by that time Daley was already rushing off towards the forest. He stopped and looked at Taylor. She looked scared, hurt and worst of all crushed. Like the entire world had collapsed around her. She stood up and rushed towards him when she began to pass him he reached out and grabbed her arm to stop her but she just jerked away and ran off down the beach. Jackson wanted to run after her but he knew it wouldn't do any good. He glared in the direction Daley disappeared and rushed after her. He hated getting in the middle of things like this but he couldn't let her talk to anyone like she just did, no matter how upset she was.

When he finally caught up with her he grabbed her arm to stop her from going any further. She turned around to see who it was and glared at him through her tear filled eyes. She tried to jerk her arm away but Jackson's grip was firm.

"What?!" She snapped at him.

"What the hell are you thinking Daley? You can't yell at someone like that no matter how mad you are at them or how upset you are!" Jackson tried to control his anger but he couldn't

"She deserved it! She's going to get one of us killed. Now let me go!" She said jerking her arm once again.

"No! You can't tell someone their going to be responsible for someone else's death! You had no right flipping out on her like that!" Jackson said angrily.

"Let go! You're hurting me!" Daley yelled as she collapsed to her knees finally freeing her self from Jackson's grip.

She sobbed uncontrollably finally losing the last ounce of control she had left. Jackson knelt down beside her and put his hand on her shoulder. The moment he did she jerked away and glared at him.

"Go away!" She screamed as loud as her throat would allow.

"I understand you're upset, I really do but you had no right yelling at Taylor like you did. She has been working as much as the rest of us; she's even offered to help." Jackson said slightly more calmly.

"Leave me alone!" She screamed just as loud as before.

Jackson could hear her voice crack. She buried her face in her hands and leaned forward to where her hands were touching the ground. Jackson nodded to his self before standing up and walking back to camp to look for Taylor.

Surely not the best colors that you shine

Surely not the best colors that you shine

I know you feel alone, yeah, and no one else can figure you out
But don't you ever turn away from the ones that help you down?
Well they'd love to save you. Don't you know they love to see you smile?
But these colors that you've shined are surely not your style

Nathan walked through the forest gathering fruit off the ground and from the trees that were low enough for him to pick. It'd been a long couple of days, longer than most that they spent on the island. Everyone seemed to be acting different, he wasn't sure what it was but something was defiantly different around there. He heard something just ahead of him but the forest was too thick to see what it was. He froze for the longest time waiting for what ever if was to come into his view. He sighed with relief when he seen Melissa walking out of the thicker part of the forest. But the relief was short lived when she seen that something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and rushed over towards her. She had tears in her eyes and they were red. It was obvious she'd been crying for quite some time.

When she seen him she tired to walk faster hoping to escape the twenty questions that she was about to be flooded with but Nathan caught up with her before she could disappear into the forest.

"Hey Mel, what's wrong?" Nathan said his voice flooded with concern.

"Nothing, it's just my allergies. What's up?" She said continuing to walk towards the beach.

"You've never had a problem with allergies before." Nathan said staring at her. Obviously not believing a word she said

"Yeah well I've never been stranded on an island before either." She looked up at him for the first time since they began talking.

The image that had been stuck in her head for days now flashed in her head but this time they were all standing around Nathan crying. She quickly looked away and more tears began to fall. Nathan had been her best friend since they were kids she couldn't stand the thought of anything happening to him. She tried to look back up at him but the same image flashed in her head. She winced and looked away again.

"I gotta go!" She said before running off into the thick and muggy forest.

It didn't take long for Nathan to lose her. "Mel!" He yelled but there was no response.

He walked quickly heading back to the beach, hoping that's where she was headed. It didn't take much to get lost on this island and he knew from experience it was easy to get hurt out there. He sighed worriedly and took a quick glance around him before he headed in the same direction Mel ran. He knew it was possible that she would make turns but he didn't know what else to do. After five or ten minutes he ran on to the beach and quickly looked around. Melissa was no where to be seen, Lex was sitting about twenty feet down the beach. Nathan ran over to him; Lex looked up at him surprised by his sudden appearance.

"Did you….see past here?" Nathan asked gasping for air.

Lex looked up at him for a moment longer before looking around. "No but I have something I need to show you." Lex said excitedly not realizing how worried Nathan was.

"Not now Lex." Nathan said before heading back down from the way he came.

But you should know these colors that you're shining are...

Surely not the best colors that you shine
Surely not the best colors that you shine

I know you're feeling like you're lost
But you should know these colors that you're shinin are
I know you're feeling like you're lost,
You feel you've drifted way too far
Did you know these colors that you're shinin' are

Lex watched Nathan walked down the beach with a disappointed look on his face. He'd been trying to tell everyone about the blooms in his garden were getting bigger and starting to form but everyone was too busy to listen. He felt invisible either they ignored him completely or they would tell him 'not now' like he was their pet dog or something. He picked up a stick and began digging it into the sand. He was tired of the older kids not listening to him when he had something important to tell them. He understood they were busy but everything he had to say was related to their survival. They should have learned by now that everything he done or had to say was for the best of the group. It seemed like he was the only one that actually saw how much danger they were in.

No one ever wanted to listen to him. Daley had lost the only thing he had that reminded him of why he was doing everything. He wanted to get home to his family more than anything. This island seemed more and more like home and that was not good. It meant that they were in bigger trouble than any of them could comprehend even him. They couldn't allow them selves to see this place as home or they might stop everything they were doing to get rescued. They were in big trouble especially since they had lost the plane along with most of their supplies in the storm.

Rescue planes and ships would never think twice about the island if they didn't see something that didn't belong there, like a crash plane for instance. They needed something big to put on the beach, something that could be seen at night and during the day, something that would be there twenty four hours a day that wouldn't take too much work away from gathering food and water. He stared at the ocean trying to think of what that could be. They didn't have much to work with so it would have to be something simple but noticeable. Maybe if he could think of something and make it without getting the older kids involved they would have something to look forward to…or at least something that gave them hope.

He stared at the ocean for the longest time before he got an idea. He looked around at the sun to see how long he had before night fall. He thought for a moment before standing up. There's enough to at least get started. He thought before running into the forest to find supplies. This had to work, it just had to.
