Chapter 5

"Chilloween?!" Taylor yelled, "That's my holiday, and it's for the island. You can't just take over something I made up."

"I know Taylor, but Chilloween was on the 18th day we were stranded. Today is May 18th, and I thought it would be nice to have a little reminder of everything we went though three months ago.

No one knew what to say, so Jackson stepped in. "What's this for Daley? We don't need to remember what happened on the island. We all know. We were there."

"I know, but it feels like once we got home, we all fell apart. I let that happen once, and I'm not going to let that happen again, so Lex helped me set this up. Look, just give it a chance."

She instructed everyone to get some food and sit down at the table facing the projector. Once everyone was seated, Lex started a slide show.

My Favorite memories

"My favorite memory was the night of the dance that Abby set up. She told us to make new happy memories, and that will be a night I never forget." Melissa started to blush even though it didn't have her name on the slide.

"Mine would have to be the song Jackson sang at Chilloween. It got everyone to stop arguing and realize that we all care." This caused Eric to look down at the table and not make eye contact with anyone.

"Mine is the night of the monsoon when I realized that I was actually part of the group." Jackson knew this was his moment, and he assumed the others could figure it out too.

"Mine has to be the obstacle course. That was the most fun I had on the island, even if I didn't win." Nathan started to smile because he wanted them to know it was his memory.

"I guess my favorite memory is when we moved the plane to the campsite. Even though it was a lot of work, it made me realize we were so much stronger than we all thought." Taylor glanced at Eric trying to hide the fact that her favorite memory was of doing work.

"I can't pick one specific memory, but I loved how we all came together as a group. You guys became my family, and I am so grateful to have you all. Daley"

Daley started talking, "I put my name on my memory because I wanted to all to know. I decided it was best to keep everyone else's a secret in case they didn't want everyone to know.

"What does this have to do with anything Daley?" Eric said. "We all have memories, so what?"

"No one has a favorite memory of us fighting or arguing. All of these memories were of the good times. I also have something else I want to show you all" Daley said.
