I spent the next day lounging around with Sam, Jack, and Dani when Wes decided to come over and talk to me
"Look, Tasha, I am sorry that I hurt Laura, I never intended for that to happen-"
"What did you think would happen? You and Megan slept out here together hours after you ended things with Laura! That's a dick move"
"I am trying to sort it out with Laura but it is hard and I know what I did was wrong"
"Mate you was fucking stroking her back and snogging, it's going to take more than a bloody apology" I snapped
"We've always been friends, we can work this out" He looked me in the eye "Please"
"Fine, I'll think about it, but don't think everything's suddenly going to be alright because you have fucked up" I rolled my eyes, he grinned and walked away probably to talk to Megan or Laura
In the evening I wore a red dress with a v neckline and a pair of simple black heels, I brushed my hair and did it up in a complicated pulled back braid thing

I walked outside to sit with Georgia, Josh, and Sam on the loungers
"Guys look" I pointed behind them and sure enough Laura and Wes were talking by the fireplace "Shit, that isn't gonna go well"
"Dude, what he did was so wrong, and if she forgives him right now I'm going to explode" Georgia shook her head
"Yeah like what the fuck was he thinking" Sam agreed, we watched them both storm off, but then came the Flack
"Caroline's here!" Dani cried
"Hi, Islanders!" She waved to all of us "Could you all please gather around the fire pit?"
"Shit" Sam whispered but he took my hand and we walked over, once everyone was seated, Caroline stood in front of us
"Islanders, I'm sure you're all wondering why I'm here" We nodded slightly "I have some very important news" she paused "The public have been voting for their favourite couple" I saw Laura scoff slightly "As you know the choices you make when you recouple matter. So even though some of you won't be getting on with the other half at the minute, your fate is still decided as a couple" Everyone looked so worried at this point "The Islanders in the bottom three couples risk being dumped from the Island tonight"
"Shit" I heard Eyal whisper
"Please, can you all stand up" We did as we were told, Sam kept his arm around me and I held his waist "I'm now going to reveal the top four couples who are safe and will continue their stay on the island. The first couple safe is" She paused again and I felt my heart clench "Dani and Jack" we all clapped for them as they sat down "The next couple staying in the villa is" I caught Georgia's eye "Natasha and Sam"
I leaned up and kissed him before we sat down together before she continued I looked at Georgia 'You'll be fine' I mouthed and she nodded slowly
"The third couple remaining on the island is... Georgia and Josh" I felt so relieved that we were both still in, she grinned at me and we turned our attention back to Caroline "Zara and Adam, Ellie and Alex, Megan and Eyal and Laura and Wes... only one more couple is safe" I reached up and squeezed Ellie's hand "The fourth and final couple safe is.... Laura and Wes"
I bit my lip nervously "Zara and Adam, Ellie and Alex, Megan and Eyal, you have received the fewest votes from the public and you are now vulnerable. But only 2 of you will leave the island tonight, and that decision will be down to your fellow Islanders"
I put my head in my hands "Boys could you please come and stand on the right side of me and girls on my left" They all walked down and stood facing us, "And could you all do the same sitting around the fire pit" I kissed Sam's cheek and went to sit with the other girls "You will now decide who stays on the island and who will be dumped tonight. Boys you must dump either Ellie, Megan or Zara and girls you must dump either Eyal, Alex or Adam" We looked at each other in shock "Guys you've got some really big decisions to make"
"I don't know what to do" Laura whispered
"Same because out of the three boys there I like Adam the least but he's with Zara, and Eyal was snogging Ellie earlier so then that leaves Alex-"
"We can't send Alex home, he has brought so much to the group"
"Well, what if we send Adam home?" Georgia suggested
"But if the boys keep Zara then she's alone" Dani sighed
"We haven't talked about Eyal" Laura pointed out
"I'm close with him, he's like my brother" I shook my head
"But he keeps on jumping ship, one minute it's Hayley, then Megan now Ellie, he never seems to be satisfied" Dani agreed
"I'm not sending him home," I said firmly
"Well we need to choose someone" Georgia sighed, after a long argument Caroline told us it was time
"Dani, Georgia, Tasha and Laura, please tell me which boy you'd like to dump from the island" I felt my eyes sting and I put my head in my hands, listening to Laura explain why they chose him, I saw Ellie get tearful and I met Eyal's eyes, "Wes, Sam, Jack and Josh, which girl have you decided to dump from the island tonight?" I zoned out and tried hard not to cry until I heard the name
"Zara"
"This means Adam and Alex, Megan and Ellie, you are safe you can go back to your seats" They walked towards us again and sat down, I felt my eyes burning with tears and Caroline spoke to the other 2 "Eyal and Zara, your time on Love Island is over I'm afraid, you have thirty minutes to pack your bags and say your goodbyes, I'll see you soon" And with that Caroline left
I made a beeline for Eyal and threw myself into his arms, sobbing into his chest, he hugged me close and kissed the top of my head, we all went inside to help them pack, us girls were saying our goodbyes to Zara who we would miss
At the front door, I kissed Eyal on the cheek and then they left. Sam pulled me into his chest and let me cry.
