"I think you should go off and just kill yourself now" said Ramona while giggling
"Ramona that is not funni, you play to much" said natalie meanly
"Sacrifice yourself for the group! Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!" ramona chanted,while trying to contain her laughter
"Im just gonna drown myself!" ranted Morgan
We all stopped and stared at Morgan in silence. We all could see that she could never
bring herself to take her own life. As everyone was looking at morgan, I felt something
wet drop on my shoulder. I prayed that it wasnt a rain drop that i had just felt. I slowly looked up at the sky, dark clouds where starting to quickly roll over the sun. Delius somehow noticed my panic stricked face and looked up also.
"Wat are ya'll...oh no.." said Ramona shivering while gazing at the sky
"This cant be happening...this cannot be happening..." whimpered Natalie
"I think that everyone should get off the door so that we can all hold on to it without
it sinking. Because if it storms, waves out in the ocean can get up to 10 ft high or more" suggested morgan, looking pleased with her idea.
"Good thinking, gurl" I agreed
"Well, come on joy i'll help you off" said Ramona grinning widely
"Yea yea..dont touch me...i cant get off myself" grumbled joy
"Come on Veronica, get off" said Natalie, for the first time showing hints of annoyance
Everyone crowded around the door and put at least one arm on top to support themselves.
The door seemed to be good, but I knew that when the waves starting getting high that
we would not all be able to hold on. I could feel it drizzling and it quickly got stronger.
I couldnt help but worry about joy who looked almost white she was so pale.
"Delius maybe ya'll should link arms or something..." i said while motioning for him to
look at joy
"Yea ok" said Delius while hurriedly grabbing Joy and linking arms.
The waves were getting strong, and now there no sign of the sun in the sky, no
sign of hope. The sky was completly dark, it looked like it was a sort of blueish grey.
I began shiver, the water suddenly felt colder, not luke warm like it had been
before. The waves were now crashing hard and forceful down on us, pushing us against
eachother and forcing everyone to use every muscle in their bodies to hold on. It looked like we were drifting toward the waves directly, I had a clear view of the waves as they formed and they looked almost like title waves and then swooped down and practically smothered us. Waiting for the waves to come crashing down on us was makin me anxious so i decided to hold on tightly and close my eyes. I think when delius linked arms with joy eveyone decided to grab a partner also, so andrew was linked with veronica,ramona was with morgan, and i linked with natalie who was right next to me. It felt like the storm was unyielding and would never end.
************************************************************
I woke up and the moon shone brilliantly above once again. I squinted my eyes to get
adjusted to knew scenery that had taken over. I looked around and saw natalie with her
head propped on her free arm that was resting on the door. I sighed a breath of relief as i realized how fortunate i was to still be on the door after the treacherous storm we
had just endured and . I smiled proudly as i thought to myself...if we had survived this then we could make just about anything....couldn't we? My thoughts were interrupted when I looked around at everyone bobbing, with their heads slipping every few seconds from dozing off and saw that joy was no longer next to delius.
"Delius!" i screamed, with tears welling up in my eyes
Wuh..huh?" jumped Delius
"Where's joy!?" i spat angrily, heated that delius was so irresonisble.
"Wuh? Oh yea...she said ..uh..she had to go throw up or something.." said Delius sounding unsure of himself
"You we're supposed to take care of her!" i screamed
"Wats..uh wats wrong?" said Veronica groggily
"She's blaming me for joy being sick...and trying to act like we actually had some buddy
system going on here!" retorted delius
"We did have a buddy system going on here!..I mean" i was interrupted
"Well where is she?" said Morgan finally bringing us back to the main point
"Yea go get her, since so sure that shes ok" said Andrew
"Boi, dont even get me started on you" said delius while paddling away from the door and
out of sight to go retreive joy
"I hope shes ok" I said shaking
We all returned to our silent thinking and waited for delius to return with joy.
"I cant find her" said delius, breathing heavily
"See I knew this was gonna happen...we should've stayed awake.." said Ramona shamefully
"Ramona, how could u say that...we havent had slept in 2 days! Joy should've been more
careuful and responsible when she swam off by herself" snapped Natalie
"Natalie! That is soooo rude, she could be dead!" cried Veronica
"Well, maybe we'll meet up with her again.." said Andrew hopefully
Everyone quit commenting and stared at Andrew
"What...what did i do?" asked Andrew
Everyone looked at Andrew in disbelief, we all knew that we wouldnt see Joy again.
But i dont think that's what shocked us, it was the simple fact that Joy probably wouldnt be the last to die, that we would meet up with her again....in heaven...I think now i was starting to realize that it wasnt a matter of staying alive it was who could survive the neverending ocean the longest.
"Hello? Wats wrong with ya'll" asked Andrew
"Oh my god, we're all gonna die" said Natalie obviously thinking the same thing i was
thinking.
My lips were beginning to feel chapped and i felt like my face was tight and extremely dry for some reason, it scared me because i had just dipped my head under water and got wet and getting dry and chapped showed signs of dehydration. I was amazed that i wasnt sick yet. I dipped under water and felt the cool salt water against my skin, I was actually at peace. If I wanted to go all i had to do was open my mouth and inhale, i opened my eyes looked down. What i saw beneath my feet only a few inches away made me gasp instintively and I accidently inhaled a ton water. I came up sputtering and choking on wat felt like a large amount of water stuck in my chest. I tried to breathe and talk at the same time, I could see Morgan trying to tell me something, but i knew this was it I was going to die and I wouldnt be able to tell them what i saw. I tried to cough one more time and suddenly felt sick, I grabbed onto the board and all the water and some more gross looking stuff came up out of my chest forcefully, I felt like i had probabaly busted the vessels in my face. Once I felt that everything was all up and that I was done throwing up,I felt sorry for joy. I felt sad thinking about her drifting off somewhere during the storm and waking up and perhaps inhaling water like i did and going through the feeling that I felt just a few seconds ago. My mind raced, I quickly came back to my senses.
"Guys... please.... stay calm" I said while trying to breathe
"No i think you just need to rest, just put yoiur head on the board, we'll watch..." Veronica was shushed by Delius
"nO..no...Im...tryin...to tell you...there are...schools...or...school..of sharks under us" I said
shaking at the thought
"oh shit....."panicked ramona while trying to inch away from Morgan
"OH my god, we're going to die..oh my god!!!!" said Natalie just coming up from looking
under water to see for herself
I looked at Delius who hadnt said anything for a long time. Morgan followed my eyes.
"Delius are you ok?" asked Morgan
Ramona scooted around everybody taking the place of where joy once was next to delius
"oh lawd, please, joy, if you are in heaven listening,please talk god out of us suffering
from this terrible fate." prayed Andrew
"Ramona that is not funni, you play to much" said natalie meanly
"Sacrifice yourself for the group! Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!" ramona chanted,while trying to contain her laughter
"Im just gonna drown myself!" ranted Morgan
