Becca's P.O.V
I open my eyes and sigh. I have to accept reality, we are stuck here on this island, until someone finds us.
Noah runs up to me. "Hey! I caught a salmon, mussels and clams!" He say, excitedly. The salmon is huge!!! And the mussels and the clams looks edible!
I pull out the matches and started the fire. Noah puts a stick through the salmon to cook it. I put clams and mussels on another stick. After cooking it for about a minute. We eat, it's delicious!
"Wow, this is way better than dried fruits." He exclaims, although I agree, I glare at him.
He raises his hands above his head and mouths surrender.
I roll my eyes, I'm starting to think he's more adorable than cute. Wait, what. Noah is supposed to be irritating! Maybe Noah is actually a really nice?
The sun is probably messing with my head. "Hey, Noah? Thanks for the food. I look for some food around, too." I said, Noah nods.
"Okay, I'll be building the shelter." He replies as I leave.
I go in to the woods.
After looking for about a hour, I head back. I have managed to find 3 coconuts and 2 grapes! I put them in in my bag carefully.
"Becca, I finished the shelter!" He calls as I strolled towards him. The shelter looks sturdy and strong. Somehow it reminds me of home.
"Do you like it?" He asks as he looks at my expression. Overwhelmed by homesickness, I throw my arms around his neck and bury my face in his chest.
He freezes, obviously taken by surprise. He quickly recovers and wraps his arms around me.
I clung onto him and the scent of him. He smells of home, Noah, salt and sweat. I feel his arms tighten around me.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I babbled, as I returned to my senses.
"Glad to be of service." He replies, saluting. There is a little hurt in his eyes or is it just my imagination? I blush furiously as he winks.
Why did Noah let me hug him like that? He was probably feeling sorry for you. A evil voice in my head said. Before going on this trip, I had my emotions in control and now I am totally messed up.
"Noah? I going to go for a swim." I said, looking away. I pull off my jean shorts and run towards the water. The water calms me and comforts me.
Refreshed I come out of the water, suddenly I feel vulnerable. I feel his eyes on me as I walk towards the shelter. I quickly go through my bag and found a towel. I pull it out and dry myself.
Noah sighs, he gets up and runs to the water. I watch he disappear under the waves. Great, now things between us are awkward. Whose fault was it in the first place. I shove the voice out of my head. I put on my shorts and decided to go on for a walk.
There was something that bugged me, I didn't quite regret hugging him. Was I questioning how I felt about him?

Mr Reigns
I was going to die on the stairs. Before I could actually feel the other steps of the stairs, I felt hands wrapped themselves around my waist. My eyes were closed. Why do we close our eyes when there were some dangers? That was stupid. As if with closed eyes, we weren't going to feel any pain. "Fuck. Are you okay?" I opened my eyes quickly when I heard this deep sexy voice. My eyes widened at the sexy piece of human standing in front of me. No human had the right to be that sexy. "God?" I asked. When he rose one of his perfect eyebrows in confusion, I realized how stupid I sounded. His perfect face was everything. His well trimmed beard made him look so handsome. His green eyes was hypnotizing. As his body was pressed against mine, I could feel how muscular he was. He helped up stand up and roughly let go of me. His eyes trailed to the floor. I followed his eyes to see a cigarette on the floor. "I'm sorry?" I more like questioned. Was I supposed to apologize for the wasted cigarette which was going to ruin his health? "Thank you" I said when I decided to look at him again. He was already staring at me. He was wearing a black suit. His hair was perfectly fixed. I wonder how would he look if his hair was messy and he was wearing a Jean. Noticing that he was not going to say anything else, I stared at the stairs. "I'm going to go" I simply said and walked down the stairs carefully. When I was on the grass, I gently lifted my dress so that it wouldn't be ruined and walked bare feet on the grass. I turned my head slightly to look at the man, who seemed to be observing me. He was still on the stairs, his eyes on me. He was model worthy. He did seem to the snobby type of man. I quickly turned around to face the woods. That man could take the breath away just by his looks.

I learned that I could overcome those limitations. I wanted to bring that hope and healing to others. Activities like that make life meaningful and bring me joy. The reasons why I was suicidal in 2019 were set in motion in 2000 when a meteor would come crashing down upon the life that I had built leaving me powerless to do anything other than watching everything burn to ashes - the home that I had, the life I had known, the love I had, my career, everything would disappear almost as if it never existed. In that one the year 2000, I could not imagine things could get any worse. But the nightmare would continue for the next few years... culminating in a suicide attempt in 2019. Now, I am connecting with others, building relationships, and finding a reason to live again. I am writing my own story of my life.
