676 Words
I opened my eyes to find myself on a deserted island. All I could see was water, sand and a forest behind me. I confused at first but eventually started to recall what happened previously.
I had been preparing for this trip for so long but finally it was here. " Aslie! That's enough. You are only going to be gone for a week." " Exactly. A whole week without being in the house. " "You can't even fit anything else in that bag. ". " Of course I can." I continue to push down the bag to force it to close. " Fine then . I'm leaving. I have better things to do than help you fit your entire room in to a bag." " You can't just leave. Mom said you have to help me. So you can't just ditch me Cam. ". " Yes I can. I just choose not to." Cam grumbled . He took an apple and sat down on the couch in my room. I just rolled my eyes at him. I was happy I had won the argument until he decided otherwise. " Fine. If I can't leave I'll just sit here and watch you suffer.". " You are such a jerk." "I'm not a jerk. You're just a brat." " No I'm not.". " Yes you are . An especially spoiled one. " " I'm not spoiled. Mom and dad just happen to love me more." "Whatever helps you sleep at night, brat."
Cam and I had had an argument again before I left. He had tried to bid me goodbye but I had been a b***h about it and just flipped him off. I remember meeting my friends at the port and being so excited about the trip. We boarded the ship with so much enthusiasm. Everything had been fine on the first day and same goes for the second. We had partied the whole night, gotten drunk and eventually passed out on the floor one by one. We had been woken up by the loud noise of the alarm going off and the Captain's frantic voice shouting for everyone to abort the ship. Due to the dizzyness and hung over, my friends and I were unable to do so and the ship crushed into something. I think I passed out then and there cause my memory went blank. Next thing I know I I'm here.
I hurriedly got up and started looking for my friends. " CAMMY!!!!" I tried shouting for my best friends while looking around only to be answered by the vast silence from the sea. I crouched down breaking into tears. I broke down just from the thought of what could have happened to them and the fact that this might be how I end up dying. I cried for a while before deciding that I needed to survive. I franticly whipped away my tears deciding to turn to the forest to find some food since my hunger was starting to get to me.
The forest was dark and every silent. Despite my fear and nerve, I entered anyway since it was my only chance of survival. I walked around looking for anything that seems edible. Suddenly, I heard the noise if breaking brunches from a distance. I froze for a moment , trying to listen carefully since maybe I was mistaken. But sadly I wasn't. Something was approaching. My heart skipped out of my chest and I realized I was in danger. Out of instinct, I bolted. I wasn't sure from what or why but I kept running. I slowed down a bit when I was out of the forest. As the adrenaline in my body disappeared, hunger and fatigue caught up. I tried to catch my breath so as to look for something that could save me from my current situation.
But before I could do so, I started feeling dizzy. I fell to the ground and the last thing I remember are the approaching footsteps that stopped right beside me
