Stranded

1 Month, 1 Week

Austin's POV

1 month and 1 week we have been on this island, 1 week was all it took for drama to kick off. 1 month is what it took for my friends to figure out their feelings, though there still is two left. Brad and Connor, they seem...closer. Though they still appear to be friends, I did make them talk about their feelings. I know they did but I don't know if they're dating or still friends. It would be a shame if they decided just to be friends, they'd make the perfect couple.

Trames is still going strong, so is Nate, Drew and Levi.

It's been a hell of a time on this island, I just wonder if anyone is getting closer to finding us. It's been more than a month, someone must have noticed that we aren't around. I hope at least our families know.

We're running low on food, we might have to go explore for some more. I rather not starve any more than we already are, that would probably lead to cannibalism. I rather not.

I feel like rather than waiting all day for someone to rescue us we should at least make a start on trying to leave ourselves, some of the car's parts have washed up onto the beach. We can make a boat from the trees, if we can cut trees down. We could use the car parts to add to that, or make smoke for planes to see- Anything. Just so I don't die here from boredom, decides I've seen many movies of people being stranded and trying to make things to escape. Maybe I could use that knowledge, maybe I could be in charge of the island.

That would be cool.

Sighing I shake my head clearing my thoughts, first step tell the boys. We can start with naming the island, which we were supposed to do weeks ago. I stand up clapping to get everyone's attention, "Guys I have an idea!" I announce

"Gather around the fire place" I say sitting at my usual spot around the place where the fire would be, since its day time we don't make the fire until it starts to get colder. It only makes sense to do so. They follow my instructions sitting in their normal places. "Instead of sitting around waiting to be rescued we should make a start on leaving ourselves" I say

"How do we do that?" Levi asks

"We could build a boat, start a fire to make smoke, we could do lots of things"

"Such as?"

They couldn't just agree with me could they? "I don't know guys think! It's better than sitting around waiting we might die by the time someone finds us you'll never know. It's been more than a month I think it's time we at least make a start" I say and they nod, I smile. "Since it was my Idea I think I should lead this whole thing." I add on, I see some of them roll their eyes.

"That doesn't mean you're not helping" James says
"Yes I know that"

"I think we should start with naming the island, we could claim it as ours no one else seems to know about it" I say, immediately they start shouting out suggestions making me smile wider. This should be fun.

Nate's POV

"Well your plan was great Austin" Brad laughs, the plan literally failed. We couldn't agree on a name so we left it for another time, we have nothing to make a boat from and the most we did was find green leaves to make smoke. We found some more food, oh and a fish. We found another fish, which was probably the most interesting part.

We are currently by the water fall, the small lagoon like area not too far away from it which we are all in.

Austin rolls his eyes "Yeah well it works in the movies" He mumbles making us laugh, according to him we've been here for over a month. Thinking about it that's a long time, even when we were only here for 2 days it felt like 2 months. This feels like a whole year, and I still haven't managed to grow much facial hair. I so badly want a proper shower and my own bed but by the looks of it that's not happening, I miss my family more than ever. Austin is still trying to get us to have more fun so we don't feel down all the time, he's basically the rock keeping us together. Telling us to have hope and that someone will rescue us, at least he tried to help us leave ourselves even If it didn't work. I'm sure many people wouldn't even think logically like him. We owe him one.

"We should probably head back to the beach, no one is there if someone were to come" James says getting out, Tristan follows behind then the rest of us.

I look up feeling someone take my hand, smiling I see Drew. He smiles back swinging our intertwined hands, I guess in a way Drew is my sense of home. We both live in the same place only five minutes away, I see him almost every day. I guess that's why he's the best at helping me when I'm home sick, I never would have thought we'd be dating.

I hope our relationship doesn't get ruined when we leave here- if we ever do leave here.

"Stop thinking so much" I hear him whisper

"Sorry", he tilts my head up so I'm looking at him before pressing a kiss to my lips. I smile pulling away shortly."We'll get out of here I promise, let's help the others make smoke" He says, I nod following him our hands not parting as we make our way to the others.

Levi smiles at us before turning back to what he was doing, I really hope this works. I'm starting to lose hope.

We are getting closer to the end of the book guys! I've really enjoyed writing this I hope you enjoyed reading it, I might do a sequel to this but it might take a little while. Thanks for all the support on this book you guys are amazing. 

If you have any ideas to what the island can be called please do comment as I have no idea what to call it myself, I reckon there might be 2-4 chapters left of this book now. It's been so fun to write this book I can't wait to write more, If you have any ideas on more books you'd like to read lemme know!

That's all sorry for the wait xx
