Chapter 13

Day 35

Lilly POV

He kissed me. He actually kissed me. Sparks flew I could feel them, I wonder if he felt them too.

Jackson POV

Wow. That was an awesome kiss. Sparks flew everywhere. It was like fireworks went off. When our lips were together I never ever wanted to let her go.

I pulled her closer to me and she leaned closer to me. She ran her fingers through my hair. Her lips tasted like mangos. She then wrapped her legs around my waist since she was sitting on my lap; she wrapped her arms around my neck and kept kissing me. I pulled her as close as she could come to me. Her chest against me, my stomach hitting her stomach, and after all of this, I still wanted to pull her closer.

I had kissed many girls in the past, including Taylor and Melissa. When I kissed Taylor it was before Melissa and we both felt nothing. When I kissed Melissa I felt a spark but she didn't feel anything so we decided to just be great friends. Neither of their kisses could ever be compared to this.

Finally after about 1 and a half minutes of kissing I pulled away. She was breathing heavily and so was I. I kept my arms around her waist and she leaned in and leaned her head on my chest. We sat there not saying anything just watching the waves. She finally broke the silence.

"We better get back." She whispered.

"Why? What do we have to do? We have all day." I said pulling her tight.

"Eventually they'll come looking for us. We can't be seen like this." Lilly said.

"I know. We would never here the end of it." I said. "We can still be together. We just can't let them know." I said.

"So like just kiss and stuff when no one is around?" She asked me.

"Exactly." I said.

"So, like right now?" She said leaning in for another kiss. I kissed her for 15 seconds then she pulled away. "We better go back." She said. I stopped her before she turned around.

"Lilly, what were you crying about before?" I asked her. She looked down and started to tear up. I picked her chin up with my fingers and when she saw how concerned I was for her she spoke.

"Miley and I rarely ever fight. Back there wasn't like the other times. I can't explain it, I just think she's changed. I mean back in LA she was so carefree since she's Hannah Montana but now she's more controlling and bossy. Also, I almost died yesterday. I feel terrible, I look terrible, my cousin is having twins on a deserted island and I can't do anything about it." She said tearing up again. I kissed her on the forehead and she stopped crying.

"Come on." I said helping her up and supporting her as I stood her up. We walked back to the campsite and I asked Lilly if she wanted to go back to the shelter or campsite. She said the shelter. I helped her lay down so she was out of view of everyone. When we were going in Taylor said her shift was up next in 5 minutes. I said goodbye to Lilly and gave her a quick kiss and then walked out of the shelter just as Taylor was walking in.

DAY 36

Lilly POV

Today I stood up on my own. I stood up and walked out to sit around the fire. The only people at the fire were Miley, Lex, and I. I wasn't feeling too good so I wasn't going to help with chores today. Miley went to take a drink of her water and it was empty.

"Lilly, can you go fill up the water jug?" Miley asked me. I looked at her confused because she knew I was sick.

"Umm, I'm not feeling well, you can do it." I said back,

"Well if you can walk down a beach for 30 minutes getting a jug of water shouldn't be a problem." She said smirking at me. Since I didn't want to hear her bitch at me I got up and grabbed the two water jugs. I turned to go get the water but when I turned around Jackson was standing in front of me. He looked at me confused.

"Lilly, why are you doing this." He asked me. I just glanced over at Miley and rolled my eyes. He got the hint. He took the jugs from me and said, "Go sit down." I turned and sat down back on the log. When Miley saw Jackson he gave her a look which made her look away and down at the fire. Miley and I didn't talk; we didn't even look at each other. We just sat there.

Later that day…

Everyone had gone to bed and I made sure everyone was asleep. I quietly got up and got out of the shelter. I walked down to the beach where Jackson and I had first kissed. I sat down in this spot and watched the waves roll in. I heard footsteps behind me and I turned around to see Jackson standing there. He sat down next to me and put his arm around my waist. I leaned my head on his shoulder and we watched the waves come in. I felt him lift his head up and so I looked up to find him staring at me.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"Your beautiful." He said. I blushed and he kissed me. It was the same sparks as before just intensified. He laid down in the sand and I kept kissing him. Finally I stopped and just laid there under the stars. We finally departed and went back to our shelters. When I went back to my shelter I found Taylor sitting up smiling. Before I could say anything she grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the shelter.

"You and Jackson? Aw that's so cute." She said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. I was a terrible liar so she knew I was lying.

"Come on, I'm not stupid. You guys look so cute together. Trust me I won't tell. I'll help protect you guys." She said.

"Thanks, you're a great friend." I said. She hugged and we both went back to the shelter and had a good night's sleep.
