Stranded

hop over to the fire, almost falling. I sit in the sand and look towards the water. All of the sudden I hear a scream. I jump up and run to where I heard it. It was a girls scream. There's no other girl here though. I run into the shelter and see Zayn in the corner, scared as hell.

"What the hell?" I look at him oddly.

"Th-There." He stutters, pointing to the floor. I look down and see a small snake. Are you kidding me?

"Oh my god. You have got to be kidding me." I groan, slightly laughing.

"Kill it!" He demands.

"Are you crazy? He's harmless. We should keep him." I pick the little snake up.

"Am I crazy? Are you crazy?" He asks giving me an odd look.

"Please? He's harmless. Even if he does bite, which he won't, he's not venomous. He'll keep any rats and things away. I'll even train him." I say.

"You're so weird." He says, looking at me like I've gone mad.

"Awe look at this wittle guy. You're so cute." I say, holding him up to look at his face, his tongue flicking up and down, tickling my nose.

"When he bites your face, I'm gonna laugh." He says, scooting towards the door against the wall.

"Does that mean we can keep him? I'm gonna name him Neapolian." I say, hopping after him.

"I don't care. Just don't let him near me." He says. I forget about my ankle and try walking to the fire, twisting it. I cry in pain as I fall, making sure not to land on Neapolian. I squeeze my eyes shut as I try and get rid of the pain.

"Sky? Sky!" Zayn runs over to me.

"Are you okay?" He asks, worried.

"Yea. Just in a little pain at the moment." I say with a strained voice. He runs inside and takes something to the fire. He comes and picks me up, carrying me to the fire. He lays me down on something soft. He unwraps my ankle.

"Okay. I can do this." He says to himself.

"This might hurt." He says to me. He grabs ahold of my ankle and twists it the other way. I scream out loud, now that I don't have a belt in my mouth. He stops and wraps it back up.

"I'm sorry Sky." He apologizes, moving over to my head.

"That's a first." I mumble, sitting up.

"Okay, Sky, we need to talk now." He sighs, looking at me.

"There's nothing to talk about." I say, looking down at Neapolian.

"Sky, listen. I know you haven't forgiven me. And I don't expect you too. But the least I could do is try." He says.

"Zayn. Do you realize what you did to me?" I ask, looking at him in disbelief.

"I didn't at the time. But now I do. I didn't mean to hurt you that much. I just got caught up in popularity. I'm so sorry Sky." He says sincerely.

"Zayn, you don't know the half of it." I say, shaking my head.

"Then tell me. Tell me everything. Yell at me. Make me understand." He grabs my hand.

"You wanna know everything?" I ask, getting mad and he just nods.

"All those years, those days you beat me. You yelled those hurtful words at me. When I got home, my dad did the same. He beat me until I couldn't see. Until I passed out. You just didn't realize because you thought you made those bruises. He always told me how worthless I was. And you know what?" I yell as tears form in my eyes. He just stares at me.

"He told me to kill myself, and I tried to. I really did. Remember that week I was gone a few weeks before you left? I was in the hospital. My brother found me in the bathroom half dead. My wrists cut so deep and empty pill bottles next to me. He took me to the hospital. After that, him and our dad got in a fight. Shane got beat really bad since he was younger. My mum kicked dad out after that." I say as tears trickle down my cheeks.

"I-Sky. I am so sorry. I didn't know." He says, pulling me into a hug.

"You know when my life got better?" I ask, pushing him away. He just looks at me.

"The day you left for the X Factor. That's when everything changed. Nobody bullied me again after that. They just forgot about me. But then you came back as a 'different' guy and I don't know what I'm feeling anymore. I don't like these feelings I have for you Zayn! It's confusing!" I blurt out.

He looks at me with wide eyes and I realize what I just said. What I just admitted.

"And now we're stuck on this god forsaken island after a damn plane crash. I'm stranded with the one person I dislike the most!" I say, laughing fakely.

"Did you say you had-feelings for me?" He asks.

"That's really what you're worried about?" I ask in disbelief.

"Plus I said they were confusing. I don't even know what I'm feeling." I say, playing with Neapolian.

"Sky-" He starts but doesn't finish.

"Zayn. I didn't mean to say that." I say. He puts his hand on my cheek and he turn my face towards him, looking into my eyes.

"Now tell me you didn't mean it." He says, looking into my eyes.

"I-I" I stutter.

"I meant it." I say under my breath.

Were so close I can feel his breath against my lips. I should be yelling and screaming at him right now. But instead I'm imagining what his lips feel like. What the would feel like against mine. And that's exactly what happens next. He leans forward, laying his lips on mine. I close my eyes as he continues to kiss me. I realize what's happening and pull away.

I just kissed the kid who made my life miserable. I just kissed my bully. I just kissed the kid I hate, yet I have feelings for him. Feelings that I've never felt before.

"Sky-" He starts to say but I put my hand over his mouth. He gently tugs it away and starts talking again.

"Listen. I know that kiss meant something to you. It meant everything to me."

I just look at him like he's lost his mind as he continues.

"I know I treated you horrible back in school. I know I hurt you. But the truth is,the reason why I did all that to you was because you mean everything to me. I just didn't realize what I was doing and why. I didn't know what I felt. I thought it was just some stupid hormone shit going on." He grabs my hands.

"But when I left, I thought about you every day. No matter how much I hurt you, I always had feelings for you." He looks me straight in the eyes.

"My last day there, when I saw your wrists. I went home and I cried. I cried because I was the reason for those. I knew I couldn't erase those memories from neither your mind or mine. That made me realize how much it effected you. I didn't realize what I was doing. I didn't even realize I was doing it. I guess I thought if I was mean and bitter to you, those feelings I had-have-would go away. But they didn't. They never did. Even after all those years away from home, from you, they never left me. I couldn't stop thinking about you. I always wondered if anybody still picked on you. If you were hurt worse. If you were still hurting yourself. If you were even still alive." He looks down with sad eyes.

"Well I'm alive. Barely." I say, getting up and limping down the beach.

I walk around the island. I go into the woods a little ways and sit on a big rock. I don't know why, but I end up crying. I lost everything. My mum and brother probably think I'm dead. Katy probably does too. How the hell am I suppose to live on a deserted island with Zayn fucking Malik and the rest of One Direction?

I hear sticks breaking behind me. I jump up and turn around. I don't see anything there. I walk a little further into the woods and I hear more sticks break. I step on a stick and it snaps. All the movement stops.

"Shit." I whisper. I hear leaves rustle and it comes closer. I stop and start to back up. It gets closer and closer and I limp backwards faster and faster. My foot gets caught under a root and I fall backwards. I lift my foot up so it doesn't hit the ground. I start crawling backwards towards the beach.

"Sky?" Harry's raspy voice comes through the bushes.

"Harry?" I ask, shocked.

"Yea. What are you doing here?" He asks, walking towards me.

"I just took a walk. But now it turned into a hop, skip and a fall." I laugh. He comes over, helping me up and wiping all the dirt off. I go and sit on the rock. He follows close behind, standing in front of me.

"Have you-Have you been-crying?" He asks, looking at my face. I guess its probably really red and puffy. The problems of being blond and pale.

"Uh." I muster up.

"Sky, what's wrong?" He asks, sitting next to me on the rock.

"Just stuff." I shrug.

"Sky. You're my friend. You're my girl best friend honestly. You can tell me absolutely anything, okay?" He says and I nod.

"Well, I don't want this to ruin your friendship with Zayn, so keep this between us." I say and he nods.

"Well. The whole seven years before he left school and auditioned for the X Factor, we weren't friends. We were far from friends, he use to-bully me. Like severely. He had a group of friends that would just pick on me every day. They would even corner me and beat me up. They literally made my life hell. I use to cut. That's what all these are from." I say, showing him my scar covered arms and he gasps.

"But what he didn't know, was that my dad use to do the same things. He would beat me. One time, I was out of school for a week. I was in the hospital. He had told me to kill myself. So that's what I did, well, tried to do. I cut so deep and took all the pills in the cabinet. My brother found me and took me to the hospital. I was okay after that. My brother and my dad got into it and my dad ended up leaving. After that, Zayn and them went on making my life hell. Then, his last day at school, I was walking home. He caught up to me and tried to beat me up. But in the middle of it, he saw my wrists. He stopped after that and went all sentimental-friendly on me. After he left and everything changed. Nobody picked on me anymore. I just turned invisible to everyone. You guys got famous. Then he came back. Now, her I am. Stuck on a damn island with him.,Then he decides to tell me he has feelings for me. And what does he do next?" I start getting louder and he shrugs, unknowingly.

"He kisses me. kisses me! Like what the hell!" I throw my hands up.

"Wow. Does he really think you'd kiss him back after everything he did? I mean, sure he's my best mate and all, but he shouldn't have treated you like rubbish." He says.

"I just don't know Harry. I don't know what to do. I'm stuck on a stupid island with the kid I hate and four other guys I don't know. How much worse can this get?" I sigh.

"Well, don't think about how worse it could get. Think about how much better it can get." He smiles.

"Wow. So clique Harry." I roll my eyes, smiling.

"I know. I'm cheesy. But hey, at least I made you smile." He nudges me.

"Yea. Surprisingly. Hey, you wanna learn some stuff?" I smile evily.

"It depends. Is it dangerous and could possibly harm us?" He looks at me accusingly. I just shrug, smirking,

"Then I'm in." He smirks, letting his dimples show.

"Then let's go."

Notes

I know right! Oh.My.God! They kissed! But, I still don't like Zayn because of what he did...I mean, he bullied her and made her want to die...but at the same time I want them together. But hey, at least I know what's going to happen in the end XD
