Yeah, I probably shoudn't give promises I can't keep. I know I said I'd update every few days, but I guess I just couldn't get off my lazy butt. Litteraly. But the chapter's here now!

Shipwrecked chapter 19

The next morning, I woke up with a huge grin on my face. Why a grin, you ask? I don't know, I guess I had good dreams. Yesterday was fun. I watched the nerd run all over the beach, search bushes and fall off of huge trees. I taught Alex a few words, she's a really smart parrot. When I first started teaching her she said "Alex like Sam". Isn't that the sweetest thing? Well, that was yesterday. Today is a bran new day. Speaking of which, it would be good if I got up now. Nah…

I cuddled closer to-Wait, what? Cuddled? Closer to what? I quickly opened my eyes, but my vision was still a blur. I shut my eyes hard and then opened them again. Now everything was as clear as day. Holy shit! I was all cuddled up with Freddie! He had his arm around my back, holding me tight and I was lying on his chest. His face was inches away from mine. Well, that's not good. I gotta get out of this before he wakes up. I don't want him to think something that's NOT true.

I slowly tried to move his hand away from my waist, but he just pulled me closer. That's when I knew this was gonna be hard. After a few minutes I succeeded in my plan so I got up as quiet as I could, trying not wake him up. I did it!

Puna was peacefully sleeping under a palm, but I couldn't find Alex. I shrugged, walked over to a rock and sat down on it. What am I supposed to do here? There's no TV, no computers, no normal food; ham, bacon nor chicken legs! Suddenly, Alex came flying around some trees and settled on my shoulder.

"Hey, Alex!" I greeted.

"Hey, Sam!" she replied."Oh my God Alex, you said hi to me!" I squeaked and then proceeded to calling Freddie's name.

"What?" he got up rashly and then fell back on his butt.

"Stop messing around come see this!" I shouted. He got up, slowly this time, and walked over to me.

"Greet her.'' I motioned towards the parrot. He raised his eyebrows, but did what he was told.

"Hi, Alex!"

"Hi, Freddork!" As soon as Alex said that I exploded laughing. This is too good to be true.

"Sam. You didn't tell her that my name's Freddork, did you?'' he said in a very serious tone looking directly in my eyes.

"It.. Might have slipped…'' I started laughing again.

"Sam! How could you do that?"

"Well…''

"Whatever, just forget it.'' he turned around to go back to sleep but Puna stood in his way. She hugged him and pulled him down to the ground so she could kiss his cheek.

"Thanks for the gesture, Puna. But I wanna ask you to stop doing that.'' Puna shook her head no after that, and I just laughed harder. But something that Alex said made everything go quiet.

"Freddork loves Sam.'' she said. For a second everything was quiet while Freddie gave me an embarrassed look that I returned. But then, suddenly, Puna jumped on Alex trying to grab her, but Alex was faster so she flew back to the place where Freddie and I were sleeping. Obviously, Puna was jelaous. She ran after Alex, screaming loudly. Alex started flying again, but Puna wouldn't stop chasing her.

After realizing they're not gonna stop Freddie tried to calm the monkey down, not succeeding. He stepped out of the way and under the coconut tree when he finally realized he can't do anything to stop it. I got up and started yelling at Puna for being so mean. Ironic, isn't it? Alex flew over to the same tree where Freddie was standing, so Puna ran after her and started hitting the tree. Because of Puna's strength, a few coconuts fell down and one of them fell right on top of Freddie's head. He landed on the ground, possibly passing out.

"PUNA!'' I yelled. "Look what you did!'' She sat offended on the ground by the tree. I ran over to Freddie to check if he's okay. He laid motionless on the ground so I bent down on my knees. Shit! How am I supposed to survive if he's dead! Wow, that sounded really selfish!

I looked over to Puna as if to ask her what to do. Alex answered instead:

''Mouth to mouth.''

"What? Wait, how do you even know what that means?'' I sighed disgustedly as I looked at him. Should I really do that? Alex IS a smart parrot, maybe she's right. Besides, Freddie saved me so many times, I owe him this.

I took his chin in my hand and parted his lips a little, then leaned down and slowly put my lips on top of his. I started blowing air into him, but nothing happened. Even though it felt great, almost natural, to "kiss'' him, I pulled away.

"Ah, screw that!'' I looked around and saw the broken coconut so I took it and went over to the sea where I filled it with sea water. I went back to the spot where Freddie laid and splashed the water all over his face. Then, he finally woke up coughing up the water.

"What happened?'' he asked, looking at me confused.

"A coconut fell on your head and you passed out so I splashed cold water all over your face.'' I decided not to tell him about the whole 'mouth to mouth' incident.

"Oh.'' he nodded, but then changed the subject after getting up.

"Do you feel any better?'' he clutched on his head because of the probable pain from when the coconut fell on his head.

"Yeah, I'm fine.'' I wasn't completely fine, for my knee and my ankle were still sore.

"Do you think we could go into the jungle and try to find Wendy or maybe someone else?'' he asked.

"Uh, yeah, sure.'' Apparently, I also decided not to tell him I was still in pain. "Kay, so when do you wanna go?''

"We should probably go right now, before the sun gets too high.'' he answered.

"Okay, sure.''

~a few minutes after

"Can we rest a little?'' I yelled out to Freddie who was way ahead in front of me. I could feel my ankle swelling up again.

"But we've only been walking for a few minutes.'' he shouted back.

"Really? It seems like so much more.'' I continued walking, trying to go a little faster, despite the pain that was growing bigger in both my legs. I thought ignoring it would make them be okay. Guess I was wrong.

Thanks for reading the chapter! Remember, next one is a special! I'll give out the name of it: FINDINGS AND SAVIOURS. No, it's not the last chapter. It's actually far from that. But anyway, review! I'll be sad if you don't :(
