STRANDED

4

What pain feels like... I never knew until now. At the very first, I thought it was minor and was nothing as compared to the wounds and injuries of the others. Of the total of approximately 200 passengers, it was only 17 who were surviving. Including me, Jeon, the girl with red hairs who later told us her name as Lavender; the man who kept quarreling with others and behaved and looked like a boss; the boy who had his head smashed; Shelly; the man whom I helped out after the crash; an old couple who had the most injuries; the woman who kept sobbing; Hudson and some others including 2 ladies, three boys and one old man.

It had been an hour of staying there. Hudson and some others favoured staying there and letting the cops and the rescue team come get us. So we waited.

Meanwhile Lavender and I got aquainted by each other. She told me that she and her brother were going New York to open up a fashion institute. But her brother had died in the crash. She didn't seemed so upset. I guessed she was just trying to be strong. Too strong.

I looked upto Jeon. Past an hour he was trying to climb up the airplane roof. He assumed that we were on an island. He said he could smell water. I just nodded and let him do his stupidities.

The pain in the back of my head was too strong. So strong that I was unable to feel the exact point. There was no blood coming out. Nor from my hand. Yes it did hurt a lot while touched.

I made a hundred glances at the head-smashed boy since an hour. I didn't just feel anything right with him. He had his whole head bleeding but still he was wandering around like nothing happened. Neither to any of us nor his head. He whistled and roamed. As if he was on a field trip.

"Jazlyn. Look here." Jeon called me.

I turned around and found that he was on the roof now. His face gleamed as he gestured me to come to him.

I got up and walked to him.

When I made up to him, I saw some amount of disbelief on his face. He seemed in a bit horror.

"What do you see?" I screamed to him.

"I don't believe this." He said a little low but I could make it out. His eyes were stuck in the distant.

"Jeon. Answer me. What is up there?" I called.

He looked down to me and then to everyone else. Then said,
"Climb up on that rock and then on the seat." He pointed me out. Then gestured me up.

I followed as he said and then made it up in no time. I cleaned my  dress and then took a look on the sight. It left me with no words.
