Chapter 31

"Taylor..." Sam giggled as he started kissing her neck harder. "Mmm, ...no one's here...don't worry about it..." Taylor trailed off beginning to tug on Sam's shirt. "Taylor..." Sam gave up. She knew this was what he wanted and what she wanted too. It had been too long. ~*~ "Zac, I am glad we can finally be together, alone!" Erica said holding his hand tighter. "Me too..." Zac leaned Erica up against a nearby tree and began kissing her. Erica kissed back and didn't object to what Zac was leading to. ~*~ An hour later, Taylor and Sam laid on the beach letting the ocean wave up to their feet. Taylor held her in his arms as he covered her with his sweatshirt. "Taylor..." "What?" he quietly said to her. "You're so beautiful." Taylor kissed her forehead. "You are too, baby, you are too..." ~*~ Zac laid on the sand with his head propped up against the tree trunk behind him with Erica resting her head on his chest. "Zac, I love you sooo much! I just can't tell you...Its so hard to explain." "I know Erica, I know. I love you too. So much." Zac said kissing her head holding her hand up to his neck. This was definitely a time in both couples lives where they knew they were all meant to be together...forever.

Chapter 33

That night the four had just gotten through eating when Taylor spoke up. "Ya know...we've been pretty lucky not to have bad weather while we're-" Just then a clap of thunder rang through the dark sky. All of them looked up at the sky with complete shockness. "Taylor, you had to say that didn't you?" Sam joked. "Oh, no..it's going to rain." Erica said moving closer to Zac. "Come on, Tay...let's go get some stuff and try to make a shelter. QUICKLY!" Taylor and Zac jumped and told the girls to wait by the fire while they were gone. They ran quickly to get some vine and some large branches. "Zac, I don't know if this is going to work." Taylor said looking around. "Taylor, we gotta at least try!" They hurriedly, grabbed some things and ran back toward Sam and Erica. "Come back here, you guys. We need help." The girls jumped up and ran back a little ways into the woods with them away from the fire. "What are we doing?" Erica asked looked at what Zac and Taylor were doing. "Sam, hand me some of that vine on the tree there..." Taylor said reaching out for it. Sam turned around to where he nodded and looked. She pulled some down and tried hard to pull it off the tree. "Taylor, it won't come off!" "Here..." Taylor took a change and bit the vine. Without any luck, he took out his pocket knife from his jeans and started to cut it off. "Hey, I thought you didn't have your knife?'' Zac asked looking at him cut the vine. "I forgot about it til now." "OH..." The four spent at least the next 15 minutes working on their shelter in the pouring rain. After making it, they got inside and tried to dry off. "I can't believe we did this..." Zac said looking up at it watching a few water droplets fall inside. "Yeah, it's pretty shabby, but it's better than being in the pouring rain." Taylor said sitting down on the sandy, branchy ground. "Sam how many shirts you and Erica got in your bags?" he asked pulling Sam's backpack toward him. "Enough for all of us to change to dry shirts." "Good..." Taylor opened it and pulled out one of Sam's large t-shirts. He and Zac quickly changed their shirts after Zac got one from Erica. They turned their backs as the girls changed also.

"haha you guys looking funny in girl shirts!Well,not Taylor,but you doZaccy!"Erica laughed looking at Zac with a flowered print shirt on."You'vefound my true identity!"He joked covering his face.The four just sat there in hysterics."Ya know,Zac, I really do think pink if you're color."Taylor said in a rich english snobbish voice which made them all laugh again."Ya'll are gonna cause me to pee muh pantz!"Erica laughed."Ya'll?!"Zac teased."You'd like think we were all drunk by the waywe're acting."Sam stated."Yeah I know.Wonder what kinda fruit we've been eating."Erica questioned.They all got silent and just stared at theground."We're such dorks."Sam said breaking the silence."Thanks!I love you to Sam!!"Zac said jumping on her back and giving her a big hug."Heyyy.Watchit there.Thats my girl.You have your own."Taylor said pushing Zac off Sam."haha sorry man."Zac laughed.The four sat there playing stupid games they made up as it rained."I dont think its going to stop.Lets just like sleep."Taylor suggested."Okay."Everyone agreed.So the four all got situated and fell asleep.


Chapter 35

Taylor woke up to the sunshine streaming in through the holes of their small hut. He rubbed his eyes and looked around not sure of where he was. He had gotten so use to the beach, he'd forgotten he was actually under some KIND of shelter. He glanced down at everyone who was still asleep and then looked at his watch. 7:04am. "Ugh." he mumbled to himself and fell back then went to sleep again. Just as Taylor had fallen back asleep, Erica woke up to find something heavy on her foot. She sat up and looked at her foot. "Ow, God..." she said to herself. She focused better to notice a rock they had set up with the shelter had fallen over onto her foot. Erica wiggled her leg around trying to pry her foot out, but only got more pain. "Uh..." she said again trying to get it out. It wouldn't budge. Her foot was stuck and the pain was horrible. "Sam..." Erica said trying to wake up her friend on the other side of Taylor who was next to Zac. "Sam..." Sam turned her head around to face her friend. "What, Erica?" she mumbled blinking several times to focus in on her. "Help me..." Erica said looking down at her leg trying to pull the rock up, but still was in a stiff position. "With what?" Sam said maneuvering over to her. Sam looked down and noticed what was going on. She also noticed that Erica's foot was not a nice shade of purple like the shirt Taylor was wearing. But anyway, Sam tried to help Erica by tugging on the rock, but had no luck. "Owww..." Erica screamed as she fell back. When she did, she hit Zac's arm causing him to wake up and causing Taylor to mumble something in his sleep. "Guys, what's going on?" Zac asked sitting up. "Erica's foot is stuck under this rock. I think it's either like broken or a really bad sprain. Look at it..." Sam said. "Oh, man...Erica does it hurt bad?" Zac asked. Erica nodded not wanted to make one move. "Man...Taylor?"
