Chapter 4
Ally POV
We all went to sleep that night, a little lonely, a little sad. We've all been through a lot, and it's a lot to handle. The girls and I went exploring and found a beach, and a stream with fresh water. The beach is surrounded by ocean, so I think we're on an island...But I'm not for certain. I got ready for the day and headed off to the beach with Luke, Carey, Melanie, and Drew. When we got there, Carey and Drew decided to hop in the water, while Melanie decided that she wanted to explore a little but around this area. Luke sat down and I decided to sit with him. "It's pretty crazy, isn't it?" He says, quietly. I nod. "Yeah. How long do you think we'll be here?" I ask him, looking up at the clouds. He shakes his head. "I don't know. I think we should send out an S.O.S." He says. I look over to him and shrug. "How do you do that?" He smiles. "Easy. All you have to do is get materials of any kind and form them so that they say S.O.S. Then, if another plane or something flies past it, they'll be able to see it and rescue us." He says. My eyes widen. "That's a perfect idea! Why didn't I think of that before?" I say laughing. "Yeah, I don't know. You seem like a smart one." He says, smirking. I shove him playfully and he shoves me back laughing. I laugh and look around. "What will we do when it comes towards night time?" I ask. He shrugs. "Probably just put some fire around it so you will still be able to see it." I nod. When Melanie came back, we told her the news, and she smiled saying that she found some food that we can more than likely eat. We find some big rocks and make our S.O.S. sign right on the sand. We all smile in our satisfactory and gather our stuff to go back to 'camp headquarters'. When we get there, we tell everyone to go the campfire circle. Once again, Austin doesn't leave the plane. He doesn't talk to anyone, and he takes the blame for everything. When everyone is finally there, we tell them about our S.O.S. and they all cheer. I smile. Cheering. That's a good sign of happiness...I think. Then we tell them about Melanie's search and how she found food. Again, another cheer. We all sit around and enjoy the food that we found. "This is weird." Genevieve says. We all look at her in confusion. "What's weird?" Regina asks her. She looks down at her food. "This is a mango." We all stare at her like she's crazy. "Yeah." I say, stretching out the 'h'. "Mangos grow in many topical and subtropical regions. That means we have got to be towards the bottom states of the U.S.A. My best guess is that we're near Texas, but I can't explain the jaguar at all. That just seemed to pop out of nowhere. It almost seems like we're in the Hunger Games. Have you guys read those books?" She asks us. Almost all of us nod. "Yeah it's like we've entered another kind of world, where whatever happens, just happens out of normal. Mangos are pretty normal because they grow in this country, but jaguars? Unless they aren't really jaguars and we're just seeing things, someone had to have placed them here." I look around and shudder. "The pilot. The pilot said something about someone taking the controls of the plane. Do you think that this has something to do with that?" I ask her. She shakes her head. "I think so, but I don't know." She says quietly. "This is like a mystery, that no one can solve. Ugh!" Drew said. I laugh and take his hand and eventually, everyone's hands are linked together. "I can guarantee you, that we will get out of here, and figure this out. But for now, I think we need to stick together. We all travel together, or we travel in the teams that Austin made. Everyday, one of the teams can go to the beach and search around there, and the other one, can search around in the other direction." I say. Everyone nods. "Okay, we start tomorrow, so I think that the best thing that we can do, is to get to bed." I say standing up. We all walk in and get in our 'beds'. Austin is next to me, in the same position as he was a few hours ago. There are dry tear stains on his cheeks and his eyes are still watery. "Austin? You know it's not your fault right?" I say quietly. He doesn't move, doesn't show any kind of emotion. Nothing. "Austin? Please look at me." I say. He doesn't. "Austin." I say sternly. He slowly turns his head and finally looks at me. I smile. "Why are you taking this so badly?" I whisper. He looks at me for a while before responding. "My brother. My brother is desperately in love with her. What am I going to say to him? 'Hey, Josh, your girlfriend died from a freaking jaguar and when she asked me to save her, all I did was watch'?" I look at him and he starts crying. "Austin, I bet you he will understand." I brush some of his hair out of his eyes. "There. I can tell your beyond exhausted from lack of sleep, now please go to sleep." I whisper. He shakes his head. "I can't-I won't." He says. I shake my head. "Will it make you feel better if you sleep with me?" I ask him. "I am sleeping with you, right now." He says. I laugh and roll my eyes. "No, I mean like if you had someone to cuddle with. Will it make your pain go away?" He looks at me and then looks at the ground. I see a small blush appear on his cheeks and I smile. He nods. "Come here then." I say. I scoot closer to him and he slowly wraps his arms around my waist. I rest my head on his chest. "Your beautiful, you know that?" He whispers. I shake my head. "I've never been told that before." I say. He puts his chin on the top of my head. "Well, you have now. Your beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. In every way possible." He whispers. He kisses my forehead, and before I know it, I'm asleep in his arms.
