Chase The Feral

Chapter 1: Please help me

Chapter 1

Please help me

"Are you really sure about this? You can still back out from this, Lily." Jenny said while slowly caressing my back.

I held her hand and Lily to jam it between my hands. "I'm okay, I'll be okay,"

"Okay, have a safe trip, Lily. Enjoy your trip and please don't do things which can also ruin you back," she was worried base on her expressions.

I just smiled at her. "I'll do good, Jenny,"

I strolled my baggage up and went to the ferry. It's so hot since it's already noon.

I put the baggage at a compartment of this ferry, since it's our choice if we want to place our baggages there or if we just want it to be on our side.

It's just space consuming, so I placed it in the compartment of this ferry.

I put my airpods out and went to connect it to my phone. I randomly picked a song before closing my phone.

"Please take your seats, and we're about to travel above the water," the person who's responsible to announce said on the speaker.

I quickly put my phone and airpods container on my cream-colored shoulder bag.

My eyelids are about to lose their consciousness. They're getting heavier as time goes by.

As soon as I saw that we're moving, I quickly closed my eyes and didn't bother to force myself to fight against these heavy eyelids.

I felt a sudden tapping on my shoulder. I closely opened my eyes since I felt sore. "Why?" I asked.

"We're bound to get off the ferry, we're already here. I'm just concerned 'cause if you don't get off now, maybe you won't get to experience the island at least for a month, since the ferry from here to there and vice versa only happens once a month," she said.

She then went to get off the ferry and dive in to a sea of people. I was moved by her words that's why I quickly stood up and was about to get off the ferry. Dang!

I fixed my hair while getting off the ferry and massaged my face after then.

I feel so unlucky 'cause there's a bunch of people shoving off their bodies to get in the ferry, maybe they already spent their vacation here for a month. And they're using this ferry to go back after we used it to go here.

I'm expecting that it'll also be like this when the time comes I also need to go home. I'm expecting a mess like this when that time comes.

"Argh!" I shouted as soon as I felt annoyed with different bodies bumping into mine.

I rolled my eyes while clearly giving everyone of them a glare.

Back to discussion, the ferry's fare is just so expensive, maybe that's why the travel from there to here and vice versa only happens once a month as they say.

I looked upon the moon and the stars which are already visible, meaning the daytime has ended.

So, I actually slept for hours? Wow. That's quite an achievement. I didn't know that this ferry will help me to somewhat gain energy and sleep.

I don't know, I just can't sleep properly when it's night time. Insomnia grew the hell on me.

I finally got a fresh air to breathe since I already escaped the sea of people. I checked my shoulder bag and saw my phone and the container of my airpods and my wallet to go which only contains a little amount of money since I'm scared of being snatched on.

As I'm walking and checking through my shoulder bag, it feels strange to me that I have this feeling that I forgot to bring something.

I went to look towards my shoulder bag for another time and checked the things inside.

The big speaker for announcements in the ferry suddenly said. "Please take your seats and be comfortable, we're heading back to our main ferry station."

I saw how the ferry moves with a moderate speed. s**t! I finally knew what I forgot!

"Hey, my baggage!" I shouted as I ran towards the pathway platform where they send the passengers off.

"Hey!" I shouted but at that exact time I knew they wouldn't hear me.

What shall I do now? My cards and main money's in there. I don't even have clothes in this shoulder bag. My charger's also there.

I pulled my own hair out of frustrations and annoyance.

"What life am I planning to have? What life is this?" I asked to myself.

I sat on this wooden platform while looking at the beautiful reflection of the moon and stars in the water.

I didn't feel the urge to cry. I just can't feel anything now.

After some time of being emotional towards everything that's currently happening to me, I stood up from where I'm sitting in to finally face the struggles.

I put my phone out from my bag and checked the signal, s**t, no signal? Dang!Why do I have to face these struggles? What did I do to get all of these?

I opened my wifi and saw that there's an open wifi from the lodge where you can register in to own a cabin for a pleased amount of time as long as you pay for it.

A sudden thought came into my mind which made my hope brighter.

I head my way to the counter of the lodge.

"How may we help you, miss?" the receptionist greeted.

"Can you please name a cabin for me?"

"Just a few, miss. Wait." she answered right away and dialed a number on the telephone.

"By the way, what's the password of the wifi?" I asked.

"Just type 'missarivaevidago', miss." the receptionist replied.

I wrote it down to enter the wifi connection and just a few seconds later, it connects. Finally!

I went on my i********: to message my bestfriend, Jenny.

lrodriguez: nini, i forgot my luggage on the ferry, can you please help me out? i don't know what to do right now, i only have a little amount of money in here.

She quickly replied. Phew! I thought it'll take long for her to answer. Gladly, she's online.

jennysaur: what? okay, i'll wait for your luggage on the ferry station. but i can't just go there, lice. remember that it's a matter of month to travel there, right? i'm sorry, lice :(

She's right. It's a matter of month, so if it happens that someone wants to take a vacation in here, make sure you're fully decided and won't turn back. The amount of tourists line up to be able to experience the island.

In my case, I don't really feel homesick and I don't really want to turn back in the first place yet it just happened that I'm in a bad state.

jennysaur: why don't you just knock on your ex's door and ask for help? well, you're there to check upon him, right?

I was statued for a moment when she sent that message. I'm here to check him on purpose yet I'm not that dumb and brave to even ask him for a favor.

He'd assume that I'm still in love with him. I know I still have something for him but I'm not that dumb to let him know about that. f**k my situation. I hate this. I hate how things turned out this way.

I turned the wifi off and waited for the receptionist yet she's still on call. I turned my sight from the receptionist to somewhere and it happened that one familiar guy caught my attention.

"Damn," I uttered to myself.

While looking at him it feels like his sight turned at where I'm standing in. Bullshit!

He's walking towards my way. I'm not assuming, I can feel it.

I quickly grabbed my shoulder bag which is on the table of the front desk. The receptionist finally ends the call up.

"Miss, your reservation is successful-"

"No, take it back. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry," I said.

I quickly grabbed the chance to run off from him. I'm still not ready to see him while he can see me. I'm not yet ready to be seen by him.

I'm here to check upon him and try to get back with him.

But as much as I do, I know that he's rushing his way to me so he can ask me what am I doing in here and give the closure I never wanted.

I don't want the closure, I'm still hoping. I'm still in love with him and I can't just accept the fact.

I'm not looking back while running that's why I don't know if he's following me until now or not.

After running for a little while nonstop, I decided to take a break. I sat on the fine sand while catching my breath.

I just also don't want him to see me like this. I'm desperate, I know, yet I don't want anyone especially him to look down on me with that word.

As much as I want to enjoy resting and catching my breath back. I felt unease when I heard his voice.

"Lily, talk to me.."

"Lily!"

"Hey, Lily, where are you?"

I turned my sight to him and saw him looking for me. I'm about to run yet I bumped into someone's chest when I suddenly stood up, the cause why I lost my balance.

I looked up to him and saw a young-looking man. His hair is a bit messy. He's wearing a button-down black hawaiian polo shirt and a black urban shorts. He's matching it with a gucci slippers. He's also holding a glass of wine. I was stoned upon seeing him.

He raised his brows to me. He's about to leave yet I keep on hearing Jackson yelling my name.

I held his shorts and he eventually looked at me. "Hmm?"

"Lily, please show up to me and let's talk!" Jackson yelled and it keeps on getting louder, a sign that he's almost near me.

I looked at where Jackson is and saw that he's really near where I am already.

"Oh, you're hiding from this man? Did you have a one-night stand with him and now hiding from him?" the stranger teased.

I shook my head sideways. "No,"

"After spending the night with him, you want to do it with me?" he teased once more while smiling.

"I don't have any intentions like that but it's not for you to know what it is.."

"Then why are you suddenly pulling my shorts down?" he raised his brows at me.

"Please help me,"

"You won't tell what it is yet you're asking help to me, wow, I can't understand what you really want." he murmured.

"Lily!" Jackson continued to shout.

I'm shaking in fear that he might catch me when I really am not prepared to talk to him.

This stranger guy looked upon where Jackson then at me again.

"Please," I started. "Please help me, I'm in trouble," I added of.

I didn't notice that a single tear escaped my eyes.

I closed my eyes out of frustrations. I just don't know what to do anymore. I let go of his shorts, he won't listen to me anyways without giving him a valid reason.

I just faced the ground. I'm hopeless anyway.

I looked up to him and saw how he drank the wine from his glass straightly.

I was about to stand up when two hands started lifting me up. This stranger's hands. I was just looking at him while he's walking towards somewhere.

"W-why are you carrying me?"

He didn't answer and he just continued to carry me to somewhere. I won't disagree 'cause all I want now is to get away from Jackson.

I just stared at this stranger's face. I'm seeing his brown eyes, length-worthy eyelashes, nice eyebrows, pointed nose, a thin plump lips, his slightly pale skin and a fine sharp jawline.

I won't deny, he's handsome.

"Stop looking at my face, is it your first time seeing a handsome guy?" he said.

He's looking at me straight into my eyes. I turned the tension away by moving my sight away from him.

I heard his chuckles. I am embarassed. As heck.
