Unbroken

Chapter 24

The captain has just told us that we need to get back to the island. "I can't leave her out there." My sister needs me and I can't protect her. Rose hugs me closer while the boys get suited up.

Leo, Alexander, and Jack are getting suited up while the helicopter shines a light looking for any sign of her. Scuba divers are jumping in while other boats have come out to see what's going on. Some volunteers have even offered to help.

Soon a towel is wrapped around us since the helicopter is making it colder. All of my tears have been cried out and know I'm just staring out into the ocean.

I remember when she was first born. John and I were both mesmerized on how beautiful she was. We took her everywhere she went and when ever she said she wanted something we got it for her. Libby was the cutest baby ever. It's like she's my life source. Without her I can't live or breath. I need her.

"Arabella! Arabella!" Rose shakes me over and over.

"What?" I ask her.

"They found her. Alex found her." I stand up frantically looking around.

A;ex found my sister. "Where is she?" I ask as the boat starts moving and I'm forced to sit down. "Where are we going Rose!" I see the island were staying on coming into view and I'm confused.

"We can't be seen at a hospital, so while we were waiting in case we found her a boat brought everything she will need to her room. A doctor will be staying over night to make sure she's okay. I don't know the specifics, but Alexander does." I need to find him.

As soon as we get of the dock Rose heads in with the blanket and the boys going in after they roll Libby in. She's still not moving.

"Arabella." Turning to my right I see Alexander walking over to me with a blanket around his bare chest.

"How is she?" He looks at me sadly.

Tears start falling down my face rapidly when I realize that they lost her. "No Arabella shes fine." Alex brushes the tears away with his thumb. "She drowned from the boat splashing water down her lungs. I was able get the water out but she soon passed out after." He wraps his arms around me with the blanket to keep me warm.

"I can't lose her Alexander she's all I have that's good in my life." I need her.

Libby is my weakness. She is the only person I would die for. She is the only person I would sell my body for. She is the only person I would bend backwards for. "Shh she's fine." He comforts me. "Let's go inside." He keeps me wrapped in his arms while we walk inside. There's people everywhere inside the house rushing around. People from the rescue team. Some are drinking something hot and others are talking to the coast guard.

"I've got her." Rose says walking up to us.

"You watch Libby I don't want to leave her right now." Walking around Rose we head up to my room. Alex helps change me into a pair of sleep shorts and a tank top. "I'll come back to check on you okay."

I need to see my sister. "Where is she?" I need to see her.

alex pulls me back looking my dead in the eye. "I don't want you to see your sister like this Arabella. Go get some rest and you can see her in the morning." Walking back into the room I lay on the bed.

"Dot leave me please. I can't be alone." I whisper.

"I'll be back just let me change." Alexander leaves and then comes back with the sweatpants hanging low on his hips. He lays down with me and I scoot over to wrap myself around him. "I checked on Libby while I was out there. She's fine, but she hasn't woke up. They tell me she should wake up in the morning." He lulls me to sleep my playing with my hair. "She's strong Arabella she'll wake up."
