Stranded

How could I be so stupid? To think he actually meant those three simple words. The three words that are so easy to say yet mean so much. I'm stupid and naïve to think he was capable of loving somebody like me.

"Sky! Why'd you run off? Did I do something wrong?" He catches up once again. Guys are such idiots. Do they not realize when a girl walks away, they obviously did something to hurt them and we don't want to talk to them?

"Leave me alone Zayn." I warn, walking onto the beach.

"Sky! What's wrong?" He asks, grabbing my arm.

"What don't you understand about leave me alone? It's simple. Go back there to your damn girlfriend and stay. Jesus Christ." I groan, snatching my arm from his grip.

"By the way, I know you don't mean what you said. So you can stop with the acting." I say before walking off, leaving him standing there dumbstruck.

I walk down the beach and sit, out of sight of the shelter.

"Why are you way out here alone?" A voice behind me says. I turn around and spot Harry coming towards me.

"'Cause." I say, looking back out to the water.

"You shouldn't be alone now." He says, sitting next to me. He curls his legs, locking his hands around his knees.

"What's wrong Sky?" He asks, looking over at me with a worried expression.

"I'm fine." I sigh, looking back at him.

"You can't lie to me." He says in a duh tone. He's right, I can't lie to him. He knows exactly when I'm lying.

"He told me he loved me." I sigh, defeated.

"What?" He furrows his eyebrows.

"Zayn. He told me he loved me." I state, playing with the sand beneath my feet.

"Oh. Wow. When did this happen?" He asks, turning his body to face me.

"When he was stuck in the cage and the guy was about to kill me. But I know he was lying. It's obvious." I shrug.

"He never said that you were almost killed." He furrows his eyebrows. Of course he didn't. Why would he tell them.

"Yea. Well, that's where this came from. When he was about to-yea. Zayn yelled and said he loved me. But I already know he was lying." I say, digging in the sand beneath me, building a mini tower.

"Wow. Well, how do you know he was lying?" He asks, building a mound of his own.

"I just do. He wouldn't have said it if I wasn't in that situation. He said it so I would have something to fight for. Something to hope for. But after that, nothing. It was just a spur of the moment kind of thing. To keep me alive 'cause I gave up." I explain, digging a moat around my tower and letting it fill with water.

"Well. I will be honest and say that I don't know what to say about that besides that I'm here. If you ever need anything. I'm here." He gives me a warm smile. I smile back, tears blurring my vision.

"Don't cry." He frowns, grabbing my face and wiping the tears on my cheeks.

"Sorry. I'm just-I've never had a true friend that I could talk to. I've just had my brother." I laugh at my pathetic tears.

"Don't apologize. It's fine. After all you've been through I expect you to cry, but I'm gonna be right here with you when you do." He smiles. Why is he so nice to me? Why is everyone but Zayn nice to me?

"You know. You really shouldn't be walking on that foot." He points to my foot, raising his eyebrows.

"Yea. Well, I can't seem to stop." I chuckle, looking down at my swollen, purple ankle.
"I'm gonna go find food." He says, standing up. I begin to stand up with him but he pushes me back down.

"Oh no. You're staying here. Don't walk anywhere without help." He orders and I smile, sitting back in the same position I was.

I stare out into the water, listening to it wash up on shore and smash onto the small pile of rocks to my left. I lay down on the sand and roll onto my side, watching the salty water come up to my feet and go back down, leaving damp sand beneath my feet.

What did I ever do to deserve this? I mean, sure I've done a couple bad things like break my mom's vase or 'accidentally' got gum stuck in a girls hair once. Or twice. But I always got punished. But I never did anything to deserve this. What did I do to make Zayn treat me the way he did, or her stuck on this island with that stupid idiot?

I just want to go home and forget this ever happened. Forget he ever changed. Forget he even exists.

Notes

Hey guys. I know this chapter sucks. I've had bad writers block and I still do. I had the whole story planned out and now I don't know, I can't seem to figure it out anymore.
