Flight 29 Down Chapter 11N2P
I want to thank xXJakeloverXx for helping me when I had a severe case of writers block!!! Thank you stalker buddy!!!! ( she is not an actually stalker! Just an inside joke ;)!)
I swam to the surface just in time. I coughed and sputtered as i spit the water out of my mouth.
"Jackson, don't ever do that again!" I said gasping as I tried to fill my oxygen deprieved lungs.
"You should have gotten up earlier. And what's your deal? You can swim." Jackson said laughing.
"I know but I was barley a wake when you threw me in." I glared at him.
"Yeah, sure. But you have to admit it was a good laugh." Jackson leaned over, bracing his hands on his upper theighs as he laughed.
"I guess your right." I muttered, and grinned as a thought came to me. I waded through the water quickly, and before he knew what hit him, I threw my arms around Jackson's waist.
"Thanks a lot Cass." Jackson said sarcasticly as he looked down at the wet imprint of my body on his shirt..
"You are so very welcome!" I grinned at him mischieviously, glad that I had the same amount of sarcasim in me.
I glanced up at him as his green eyes flashed. He was still chuckling, pleased at his work at throwing me in the water. Had I ever noticed how his green eyes seemed to change color when he laughed? Or how tall he was. I had to tilt my chin up to look up at his face. Had he always been this good looking?
Whoa.
I stopped myself. Where did that come from?
Jackson was looking at me, a concerned glint in his eye.
"You ok, Cass? I didnt really hurt you did I?"
"N-no." I stammered, feeling my face flush. What was wrong with me? I had never been much of a girly gril, but i was acting like some freaking love struck kid.
I wasnt in love was I? With Jackson? No way. No possible way in Earth... He was like my brother.
But think about it! A little voice in my head scoffed. He has always been there for you. Is he really just a brother to you?
I stared up at Jackson again. Was that just brotherly concern in his eyes? Or was it something more?
Acting on a complete wim, I stepped closer and threw my arms around his waist. He stiffened in surprise, and then to my complete surprise, his long arms circled around my waist, pulling me closer. I leaned my cheek against his muscular chest and listened to his heart beat for a moment. His chin rested very lightly on the top of my head. It suddenly regestered to me WHAT i was doing. Hugging Jackson?!
I stepped back quickly, almost tripping in my haste to get away from his hard body. He looked at me for a second, and then tucked his hands in his jeans pockets.
"What was that for?"
Was it my imagination or did his voice sound a little more husky than it usually did?
"Uh...Just for always being there for me."
I said, offering him a small smile. He stared at me for a second and then ran a hand through his tousled blonde hair.
"Well, its no problem." He trailed off, staring at me liked he wanted to say something else. This was getting too weird. Too personal.
" You got something to say? Spit it out." I resorted back to our usualy way of bantering.
His eyes clouded for a moment, and then his trademark grin stole back over his face.
" Nothing, Cass. I wasnt gonna say nothing. I better get started on my chores." He turned and walked away, walking back toward camp.
I watched his tall form walk away, thinking. What had just happened? Then my gaze fell on someone else. Stephen stood leaning against a palm tree, his face angry. How long had he been standing there? Long enough to see me hug Jackson, TWICE?
I offered him a tentative smiled. He glared at me, and then turned, stalking back out of sight.
I groaned and plunked down in the sand, my clothes starting to dry off. How bad had i messed things up? Pretty bad. I said outloud. Great I am answer myself! I said as I sat up and threw my hands in the air.
I was in was or thought I was in love with my supposably brother and I had probably lost my only friend on this island. I had messed up big time. I was so mad at myself! How could I let my mind drift like that?
Cassidy you need to ge back to your chores. Dailey said.
You know what do them your self. (I thought)
Yes mam' I said.
I went back to the apple tree and found some bad apple and started throwing them against the tree. They were splattering everywhere.
A part of felt like that there was hope that Jackson would like me back but there was guilt with that hope. The guilt was because of Stephan.
I quickly grabbed as many apples as possible so I could take them back to camp and maybe find Stephan.
I had never really liked liked a boy before and now I was falling for two! What are you thinking?! I felt like I could cry but not out of sadness but madness. I didn't think you could cry about madness but I was finding out about a lot of stuff today.
I didn't realize how much of a walk back to camp was. It was longish. I was tired from waking up early and than Jackson throwing me into the ocean.
Cassidy? Where are you going with those apple? Jackson asked.
To camp. I said.
You are going the wrong way. Jackson said.
I realize that I was standing knee deep in water.
Woha! Where is camp? I asked.
Turn around. Jackson said smiling but had a worried look on my his face.
Oh. I said.
Are you okay. Jackson said as he looked me into the eyes.
I just stared into his gorgeous green eyes.
Are you okay? Jackson asked as his eye feild with concern.
Yeah I am fine. I have a lot on my mind. I said as I looked down and walked out of the water.
I think you suck to much water up your nose. Jackson said with a slight grin on his face.
It was a cute grin.
Umm yeah. I said.
How come I had to get all nervous when I get around him now. My mind couldn't function and my stomach felt weird.
I walked the rest of the way back to camp looking at the ground or either straight in front of me. I was scared to look into his eye. Jackson could probably read me like an open book. Melissa and Taylor came our way. Taylor was mad and Melissa was frighten. Why would she be frighten?
Jackson! Taylor yelled.
He stopped in his tracks and asked the "what was up!".
I heard somethig about a stained or burnt shirt so I just walked away. It was probably something stupid.
Here you go your my lady? I said in a british accent and bowed.
She rolled her eyes and walked away with a video camera. I sat the apple down and went to go find more cocnuts. I grabbed my pack and cd player out of the tent. I stuck my headphones on and tried to find somebody that I could tell that I was going into the woods. We always did that so we knew where we were but than again the woods are huge so we wouldn't know. No one was around so I just left.
I walked in the woods and kept walkin for what seemed like ages. I couldn't find a stupid cocnut tree. I looked a little bit more but than I found Nathan climbing a coconut tree.
Nathan you are goin' to fall. I said.
If you can do, I can do it. Nathan said.
I warned ya. I said as I turned my back and kept walking.
All the sudden I heard a huge thud.
