just me
Chapter 5
Marley and me and Brynn met back up at the beach.
We made a huge fire, hoping to warm us and signal to people that
we were here.
We also made a small hut with leaves over it so if it rained, we
would be safe under cover.
"Well, I guess it's getting kinda late." I
whispered. Brynn fell asleep in my lap and I didnt want to wake
her.
"Yeah, I guess we should head in. Wow, my first night on an
island, and no one knows where I am." Marley whispered
back.
"You don't know that! There could be people coming for
us right this second!" I whisper-yelled.
"Okay, okay. I didn't mean to upset you. Let's just
get some rest."
We walked into the makeshit hut and fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~
"Hurry up! Get the luggage! A boat! There's a
boat!" I screamed to Marley and Brynn.
They came running out of the hut, suitcase in hands and started
laughing with delight.
"I told you people would come for us, Marley." I
accused him.
"Yep. You were right." he chuckled.
Aww, his smile. It was so cute. And the way he looks at the
ground when he smiles. His dark brown hair that falls into
his eyes when he looks down. He was so adorable. WAIT! Snap out
of it, Zoey. You will never see him again.
~~~~~~~~~
I woke up.
"D/MNIT! I just had the best dream that we were getting
rescued! It wasn't real, though. Crap, crap, crap." I
screamed so that the whole world could hear me.
"Calm down, Zoey. I see a boat, for real. Get the luggage
and let's go!" Marley told me.
I gave him a look of shock and peered out into the water. He was
right. There was a rescue boat looking for us!
I got Brynn and put her life vest on.
"Okay, let's go get that boat!" I encouraged Brynn
and Marley.
They followed me out into the water. We started signalling down
the boat that was probably only a quarter of a mile away from us.
I guess they saw us because they beeped the horn.
We swam towards them, they coasted towards us.
In about five minutes, we were next to the boat getting pulled in
by life preservers on rope.
I grabbed hold of Brynn and was raised up to the deck.
