Surviving

Harry and I sat awake that night, even though we had no reason to be awake. Effey was curled up in a ball on my lap, while Harry layed his curly head on my leg, so Effey was laying above Harry's head. I messed with Harry's hair, and he laughed.

"What?" I giggled at him.

"Nothing, just thought of when we met Liam." he laughed again.

I continued to pet his hair, "Oh yea, I was thinking about that the other night. He was so shy. Actually, he still is."

We sat in comfortable silence for awhile. I finally broke it when I said, "Lets explore again."

*

Harold and I walked around the jungle, while Effey stayed back. He was probably laying on Zayn, he liked Zayn.

It was completely silent until I looked down and saw a bunch of wood planks stacked, on a flat, dry, grassless piece of land. They weren't actual building planks, but straight enough to build... a tree house!

"Harry!" I jumped and turned to him as he stopped walking and looked at me.

"Are you okay?!" he panicked, checking me over for injuries.

"Yes, I'm fine, dipshit, calm down. But look, wood for building." I pointed to the pile.

"Wood for building what?" he asked.

"A shelter..." I trailed off, leaving him out to figure the rest out.

"Wait, so, you're saying we build a shelter?" he put the pieces together.

"Yes, lets start now, and we'll build every night after everyone sleeps." I said as I walked to the wood and picked a piece up.

"Wait," Harry said, "How do we nail them together?"

"Easy, get nails from the plane." I said. Hr nodded and walked off.

I started making a blueprint in my head. 4 planks this way, a few more that way...

Soon enough Harry came back with a ton of nails, and is that a hammer? Where did he find a hammer?

"Hey," Harry waved his hand in front of my face. I must've been staring.

"Where the fuck did you get a hammer?" I went wide eyed.

"Oh, I found it in the plane." he shrugged my question off.

We began building, I told him my plan, and we exchanged a few ideas. Finally, we had the plan. It would only take about two full nights to build this.

We were building the little shelter thing while singing.

"This here's a jam for all the fellas
Tryin to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down cause ya over-zealous
Play hard to get females get jealous
Okay smarty go to a party
Girls are scantily clad and showin body
A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you're standing on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next day's function high class luncheon
Food is served, and you're stone-cold munchin
Music comes on people start to dance
But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walking guys start gawking
Sits down next to you and starts talking
Says she wants to dance cause she likes to groove
So come on fatso and just bust a move."
I sang.

Harry caught on.
"You're on a mission and your wishin
Someone could cure your lonely condition
Lookin for love in all the wrong places
No fine girls just ugly faces
Some frustration first inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a light of hope
So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
Your movie's showin, so you're goin
Could care less about the five you're blowin
Theater gets dark just to start the show
Then ya spot a fine woman sittin in your row
She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello,
Come sit next to me you fine fellow."
You run over there without a second to lose
And what comes next hey bust a move"

Then I rapped.
" In this city ladies look pretty
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says, "No way"
Girls are fakin goodness sakin
They want a man who brings home the bacon
Got no money and you got no car
Then you got no woman and there you are
Some girls are sadistic, materialistic
Lookin for a man makes them
opportunistic
They're lyin on a beach perpetrating a tan
So that a brother with the money can be their man
So on the beach you're strollin real high rollin
Everything you have is yours and not stolen
A girl runs up with somethin to prove
So don't just stand there bust a move"
After I rapped, Harry started.

"Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hopin you can make it there if you can
Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say neat-o, check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting
So you start thinkin then you start blinking
A bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking
She thinks your kinda cute so she winks back
And now your feelin really fine cause the girl is stacked
Reception's jumpin bass is pumpin
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do G bust a move."
The song ended.

"Hey, Harry, do you have a brother named Larry?" I joked, making fun of the last verse.

"No, but you do have a best friend named Harry." he joked back.

I looked at the work in progress. We had the walls done, and the only thing left was the ceiling, then we could move everything in.

"Oh, we should build a shelf for food too." I said.

"Haha, yea we should." Harry said back in response as he hammered two pieces of wood together.

*

We made a little more progress before I realized something. We were pretty much done. The walls, floor, ceiling and shelves and everything, it was all done. How in hell did we do that so fucking fast?

I looked out of the little house at the sky, it was light.

"Harry, lets go. We finished already, and it's already light out. We probably worked so long that everyone else is up." I called over to Harry.

"Wait, it's done?" he looked around at the complete house, "Holy fuck! We had to of worked into the day. Everyone's up by now, lets go!" he rambled as he ran out of the house dragging me with him.

*

We arrived at camp, with us both smiling like idiots who just farted in the bathtub. Everyone was up and panicked. I giggled my usual giggle and they turned to us.

"Toni!" Lou sighed in relief.

"No time to explain. Grab the food, carrying basket, and everything here. Harry, lead the way, I'll be there in a minute." I demanded. I guess in like the leader because I'm always in this role.

They all ran around grabbing things, and then followed Harry. Once they were out of sight, I did my thing. I grabbed an arm full of sticks, then grabbed a few that were in the fire, and hauled ass to the house.

*

I got back to the house, and saw everyone jumping around, happy as fuck, but no one saw me. I set down the sticks, then caught them on fire, creating another fire next to our house, but not close enough to catch fire.

I walked into the house and was engulfed in a group hug, minus Harry.

"Toni! Oh my god! You're so awesome." I heard Alexis say.

"Don't give all the credit to me, your boyfriend helped just as much." I giggled.

"But you brought the fire ov- did you say boyfriend?" she asked, pulling out of the hug as everyone else retreated also.

"Yea, I thought you guys were a thing?" it came out as a question.

"Hahaha, no." Harry laughed.

"Harry!" I koala jumped on harry. He hugged back, and the hug lasted a little longer than it should've.

We didn't pull apart until we heard someone clear their throat. Louis. I pulled back and jumped at Louis.

"Looouuis! I missssed you..." I sang, smiling behind his head.

"You weren't gone that long, love." he laughed at me.

I pulled back and pouted, "You didn't miss me?" I stomped playfully.

"No babe, I missed you entirely too much." he laughed again as he leaned in and kissed me.

His tongue grazed my bottom lip, asking for an entrance into my mouth and I gladly gave in. We kissed for a while, until another throat was cleared. I pulled back.

"Uhm, didn't need to see that." Liam joked even though he was serious.

"Dammit, should've built two rooms." I laughed as I pulled away completely from Lou. "Oh, by the way, Louis will see worse than that." I smirked and walked out.

I know, I'm a cocky bitch, and I'm proud.
