•Part 4•

I wake up quite late in the day and I see everyone awake talking. The surfboards are leaned against a coconut tree and I see Pope walking towards me.

"Hey kie we are going out surfing you coming?"  He asks me and helps me up.

"Sure." I smile and brush myself down, "lemme get changed." He nods and leave as I grab my swimming costume and put it on under my clothes.

I walk outside and jj passes me my surfboard as we all head out. The waves are huge today and we surf tons.

"We should do this more when we get back." I say panting. We paddle in a little bit on our boards into some tamer waters.

"Ok you guys see that wave? The person who surfs it best gets to serve out fishing duties for the rest of the week." John b suggests.

Jj goes first and surfs it perfectly. He comes back and I go next.

The wave comes closer to me and as I try and surf it my foot slips and the board rolls out from under me causing me to plunge under.

I hear waves splashing towards me and I try and swim upwards but I can't. Suddenly someone grabs me and pulls me up to the surface as they start swimming back to the others.

When my dizziness is gone I sit on the surfboard as Jj helps me up. John b and Pope are gone and Jj starts pushing me towards the shore.

"Where are they?" I splutter, "and where's my board?"

"I couldn't find it and they left to go and John b went to get help incase I couldn't get you, Pope was supposed to wait here im not sure where he went." He says furrowing his brow and continues swimming with me back to the sand.

"Oh ok, thanks" I say smiling.

We get back to shore and I see everyone laughing around the logs. Jj gives them a dirty look and takes me over to his tent. When we get inside he picks up his shirt from the floor brushes it off and gives it to me. "Keep warm you must be pretty shaken up after that." I nod and he smiles at me weakly.

The sun begins to come down and me and Jj sit in his hut talking. 

"So what are you going to do first when we get back?" He asks me.

"Probably go and apologise to my parents for leaving and not telling them although it wasn't entirely my intention to end up on this island ." I laugh, "what about you."

"I'm not sure haha." He says sadly and I can tell he isn't saying something.

The sun it almost completely down when John b comes and stands in the entrance of Jj's tent.

"You guys coming to the fire?" He asks and me and Jj stand up and head for the fire with him.

We arrive at the fire and everyone sits down looking at us. Pope gives me a dirty look and I have no idea why. Oh shit I'm still wearing Jj's shirt.

"Um why are you uhh.. wearing his shirt?" Sarah stutters.

"Take a wild guess." Jj says looking annoyed.

"Um did you two hook up or-" she says confused as though she were staying the obvious.

I widen my eyes in shock and look over at Jj who is currently eyeing Pope.

"No the hell? She was shaken up after the fall."

"What fall?" Sarah asks sheepishly.

Jj gives Pope and John b a dirty look and carry's on. "The one with her surfboard earlier, the one John b came to get help for?"

John b looks guilty as Sarah again looks confused.

"John b what the hell I thought that you know as your best friend got hurt you were gonna tell them incase we needed help?" He shouts standing up.

"Yea well I got caught up." John b says, "I'm sorry kie." He looks at me.

"She was drowning and you didn't even try to get help? God.. and don't 'sorry' her if you clearly didn't care at first." Jj shouts.

"Sorry I'm not-" John b starts but stops mid sentence looking at jj as he storms away back to the tents.

I raise my eyes brows at John b and get us to follow jj.

I walk quickly to catch up with him but he's already in his tent.

"Jj?" I ask looking in and see him sitting on the floor.

I walk over to him and sit next to him.

"Really it's ok John b probably just got busy in the moment and forgot, he apologi-" I start when jj pulls me in closer to his face and presses my lips against his. He brings his body closer to me and as I pull out quickly I can feel his warm breath on my face. I stare at him anxiously. What the hell was that all about I think.

"Um jj?" I say shakily.

"I'm sorry I've just wanted to do that for a long time. Anyways you should go I can hear the others." He says as I stand up and walk out.

The others run up to me and ask about Jj as I stare out into the now black water.

"Well kie?" Sarah asks.

"Oh yea um he's fine." I say smiling weakly at them.

"Ok good well I'm going to bed." John b says and walks off.

"Yea same night guys." Says Pope as he heads for his tent.

"Night"
"Night"

Cleo and Sarah say walking off. I make way for my tent and lay down when I get there.

Oh my god. How long has Jj wanted to do that. I mean he asked me out once and after I said no never tried again. But..

I find myself alone with thoughts and roll over and fall asleep.

The morning comes and I wake up from John b shaking me awake.

"Come on kie its so late, Sarah made us breakfast so you might wanna grab some before Jj tries to eat his second serving." He says and helps me up.

Oh yea Jj.. I think. I follow John b and sit down to eat fruit out of a coconut bowl.

Everyone seems very happy. But I guess that's just the influence of the fruit, I am still waiting for that bottle to return with perhaps help or a boat to come out looking for us.

"So guys-" Pope starts saying when I notice something in the water and zone out completely.

"Guys hang on." I say walking over to the water and grabbing something out of it, "look what's washed up!" I say slowly almost as if I can't believe it. I hold out a shiny gold bar that looks as though it is part of the royal merchants treasure.

"That's from my dads boat it must be." Sarah says.

"Yes but look at the back." I say as the others crowd round me.

I flip the bar over and on the back imprinted deeply in the gold is a sentence.

"He's back ward, run, the truth shall be your curse."
