"Please say something?" I heard Danny ask behind me. I sighed and wiped away a few tears as they fell across my cheeks. I turned back to him and forced a smile. "Lets head back...its getting dark" which was a total lie. It was probably only around 5 or 6..and it gets dark around probably 8. He opened his mouth to say something, but rethought it and closed it again, nodding. He stood and offered me a hand up.
As we walked down the beach, in the waves of the water... I had to ask.
"Was it something I did?" I asked, kicking the water with my feet. Our pace was slow..much slower than our original trek down the beach to the palm tree. He looked at me curiously.
"What?....wait..you did nothing wrong...at all." He said, almost laughing at it...as if it were something silly to worry about. I scoffed and he furrowed his eyebrows. "So then what's wrong with you?" I pleaded with him. In the back of my mind, I remembered Harry insisting that he'd be fine... praying that he was right. That this wasn't anything big.
Danny shrugged and looked down. I groaned out of frustration. This was like talking to a brick wall. I hate sex. It ruins EVERYTHING."Well then you let me know when you figure it out." I replied, as I kicked the water and stomped down the beach ahead of him. I didn't want to talk to him anymore. I didn't even want to LOOK at him.... he was dumb, indecisive....beautiful, dreamy, and absolutely adorable. wait, NO!...He's making me miserable and self conscious and I refuse to be "played"
I jogged over to where Harry and Brianna were sitting. I shrieked angrily, again out of sheer frustration, and threw my sweatshirt at Harry, who caught it...as he was sitting in the sand next to Brianna talking about music i think. "You're FRIEND....is INFURIATING!!" I yelled through my teeth before grabbing a waterbottle and storming off farther down the beach. Harry and Bri stared at me, confused and mouth-agape, before looking towards Danny- who was meandering down the waterline 20 meters or so behind me. I continued for about 100 meters and looked back, as Danny and Harry and Brianna were sitting there talking. I decided to run out my frustration, and picked up the pace as I started sprinting as hard as I could down the beach....
Danny's P.O.V.
WHYYYYY cant I just tell her. She groaned and went jogging down the beach to where Harry and Brianna were sitting. Shit. I bit my lip nervously as I slowly made my way over to them. She continued on down the beach before breaking out into a full-blown sprint and I completely dreaded what Harry and Bri were gonna say to me. I knew it wouldnt be nice though.
"What did you fucking DO!?" Brianna shrieked as I got closer. I grimaced and sighed, watching as Carey became smaller and smaller. "I have no idea..." I replied. "She just started crying.. she said i'm acting weird..and asked if it was her fault..." I said, my mind trailing off.
My mind flashed back to the night in the cave. The AMAZING night in the cave..where nothing else mattered. Food, water, the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy, or whether Britney Spears was still bald or not....not even the exhistence of the rest of the world mattered. I had her in my arms.
"Danny?" she whispered softly in my ear, her head resting on my shoulder, her body laying ontop of mine. "Yeah?" I laughed back. She giggled and kissed my neck by my ear. "Lets stay like this forever..." she said. I traced her bare backbone with my fingers and laughed. "Thats just your 'cuddle-after-sex' hormones talking..." I said. She shook her head, before lifting it up off my shoulder and propping herself up with her elbow. "Really!" she exclaimed. "We can be like Tarzan and Jane! And live in the forest.." She said. I laughed, "Wellllll...I guess if i get hungry, I could always.....EAT YOU!!!!" I shouted, rolling over ontop of her and pretending to bite at her neck as I tickled her side with one hand. She squealed and laughed loudly before pushing me back off of her, the biggest smile across her face.
"AND?" Harry asked impatiently. I snapped back to present times. "What? OH!" I said, startled out of my reminiscing. I frowned at the memory. She wanted me...forever. And what did I do? I got all weird and scared her off. "Where do you think she went?" I asked, now noticing that she was no longer in eye-sight. Harry shrugged, "Lets stick to one topic mate. What'd you say to her?" he asked. I scooped up some of the warm dry sand and let it run through my fingers as the wind carried it away. "Thats just it...I didn't know what to say...so I didn't say anything."
Harry looked bewildered. "Man..whats gotten into you? You never have nothing to say..." he laughed sarcastically. I shoved his shoulder. "I dunno man. I really...really...realllllly.." I caught Brianna staring at me, a smile coming over her face as she heard my sincerity "really like her." I admitted. "Then TELL her" Bri suggested. I sighed. I knew I really should have done that hours ago...or even last night in the cave, which I'm sure Bri already knows about. "Last night was like...something outside of this world." I said, staring off into the distance, still half-expecting to see her running. She was long-gone though. I stood up and put my hands on my hips, staring at the horizon. "How long she been gone?" I asked. Harry shrugged. "Five..ten tops? Why?" he asked. "You think I can catch her?" I asked. Without waiting for an answer, I started down the beach in the direction she had been running. I ran...and ran...and ran. My legs felt like they weren't my own anymore...like I was floating, and they were propelling me through the air...weightless.
Carey's P.O.V.
I ran as hard and as long as I could, tears streaming down my face, gasping out of breath. Even after all my energy was gone, I wouldn't let my legs stop. I jogged down the beach at a pace that was practically crawling. My legs were screaming and my chest was rushing up and down as I gasped for air between sobs. I didn't know what to do, so I just kept running. In the process of crying, my vision blurred from tears I failed to notice a small log on the beach and tripped "OOF" I said as I hit the soft sand. I continued laying there though, completely exhausted, my eyes closed to the sun shining in my face. When suddenly, the sun was gone and there was a shadow across my face. My eyes bolted open, immediately thinking of the natives on the island that Danny and I had encountered the other day.
"OHMYGOD. Danny...you scared..the...shit....out of..me.." I panted through my heavy breaths. He was doubled over, leaning his hands on his knees, breathing heavily too. He ran after me? I remembered I probably had tears smudged all across my face and as I struggled to get back up, I rolled over onto my stomach and tried to force my knees and feet under my body to stand. I started to straighten my legs which just gave out. I was too tired. I laid there on the beach, my knees folded underneath my body and my head resting on my arms, folded on the sand.
"Where did you think you were going?" Danny asked, laughing, before flopping down in the sand next to me. I laughed, "I just wanted to run. It helps me relieve stress..and worries and stuff.." I said, turning back over onto my side to face him. My breathing was back to normal, but my heart was racing. Then again, Danny always had that effect on me... so who's to say it was the running?
"Listen" he started, "I should have told you this a while ago. But I didn't know where to start or what to say." I nodded, listening. "Back home...in London.. i guess some would say I'm a bit of a.... well....player, womanizer....well...you know... I get around." I laughed, wondering where he was going with this..a little unsure and slightly worried. "When actually its just the opposite. Those girls? I'm not using them...they're using me...they were usually fans or admirers that were throwing themselves at me, who usually immediately afterwards would go running to the press about it- for their 15 minutes of fame...but I thought ' Hell why not?' But...you...." he said. Gulp. "With you...I NEED you, I want you...I just want to be near you. I've never felt that before...This is entirely new ground and I have no idea how to act."
My mouth dropped, touched and flattered by what he was saying...trying to work it all out in my head. I just nodded. He smiled, "I'm crazy bout you kid.." he said softly, before leaning in and kissing my cheek softly. I giggled and rested my arm on his neck, running my fingers through his long, wavy hair. The sun had started to set, throwing a bright pink, red, orange array of colors into the sky. I didn't even want to THINK about the long walk back to the campsite, but with night approaching fast, we had no other choice. "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" i moaned, "we should start back" i laughed, glad to be back on good terms with Danny. He smiled and nodded, hopping to his feet and pulling me onto mine. Not fair. I was totally more tired than him, and he ran to catch up with me. How'd he do it?! He must have really good stamina from performing or something. (UHM. I MEANT ON STAGE YOU GUTTER-BRAINS ;P )
We started hand in hand back down the beach, as I dragged my feet, tired.
Harry's P.O.V.
I listened to Brianna's soft voice as she read aloud A MidSummer Night's Dream..another book she had found in luggage. My eyes wandered, from the people down the beach, to the trees in the rain forest, to her body... and the little triangle bikini she was wearing...
She hit my shoulder with the book. "You aren't listening to a WORD i'm saying are you?" she laughed, catching sight of my gaze. I laughed. "No! No! I am! I promise" I winked. She giggled and continued, and I stared off towards the ocean.
Is....that...? No...It...cant be? Can it.
I sat up, afraid I was hallucinating. "BRIANNA?" I called curiously. She put down her book and sighed, sitting up to look at me. "What's wrong now..?" she laughed. I pointed to the ocean. "Is...that...?" She followed my finger and gaze and gasped. "OH MY GOD!" she responded.
