Chapter 1
One fairly warm July day, I sat on the couch in my living room. I was staring up at the ceiling thinking about my boyfriend, Nick. Thinking about when he was going to come back from visiting his family, down in Florida.
Then the doorbell rang. I slowly got off the couch and headed for the door. I opened the door, Nick was there! "Hi!" I smiled, giving him a hug.
"I missed you so much." He said, giving me a kiss. He put his arm on my shoulders. "Let's go."
"Go where?"
"Just follow me." He answered.
~Later~
~On his boat~
Nick put his arm on my shoulders again. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him looking at me. "What?"
He smiled and said, "Nothing..." Then he leaned over and kissed me on the forehead. He smiled again. He got up and went to grab a couple sodas. When he turned back to me, I had my back turned to him and was looking over the side of the boat. He gave a mischievous grin as he slowly crept towards me. He leaned over and pushed me off the side of the boat.
"Ah!" I screamed. I came back up, gasping for air. I crawled back onto the boat. Nick was laughing so hard, I thought he'd double over. I got a look on my face that was meant to kill. When he opened his eyes again, he instantly stopped laughing. I walked towards him; he backed up so far that he bumped into the side of the boat. Both his eyes and his mouth were wide open. I could tell he was kind of nervous about what I was going to do.
I reached up and put my arms around his neck. I gave him a re-assuring smile and he started to calm down. He put his arms around me waist and kissed me. Then I pushed him off the side of the boat! I stood there for ten seconds, waiting for him to come back up for air. I started to worry and leaned over the side to see if he was okay.
Nick came back up, grabbed the collar of my shirt, and pulled me back in the water.
~Back in the boat~
Nick put his arm around me again. I smiled and layed my head on his shoulder. He was running his fingers through my hair. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Nick woke me up at nine o'clock p.m. to watch the sun set. We had sandwiches for dinner, then spent the rest of the evening looking at the stars.
~The next morning~
When I woke up, I think it was about 7:30 am. I stood up and looked around for Nick because, obviously, he wasn't on the boat. From behind me, I could hear an engine. I turned around and saw AJ and Howie on a Jet Ski. As AJ and Howie came closer to the boat, AJ jumped onto the boat and Howie drove the Jet Ski away.
"Hi," I said. AJ had this evil smile on his face. I sat down, confused. AJ started the engine. "Where's Nick?" AJ just kept driving the boat. We stopped on an island. Howie was there. When AJ and I were off the boat, Howie hooked the jet ski to it, and drove away. AJ had his hand tightly around my arm. "What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!" I yelled, trying to get my arm out of his hand.
"Possibly." He answered.
I managed to get my arm back, and as soon as I did, I ran. I couldn't hear what AJ was yelling, but it probably wasn't good. Turning my head around, I saw that he wasn't following me, and stopped running.
Then I heard AJ's voice. I don't know where it was coming from, but it echoed. "Everyone is on the island," He said, I think he was talking to me. "Christine, Howie, me, you, Brian, Kevin, and Nick!" He laughed. A sudden rush of panic swept over me and the only thing I heard as I started to run, was my heart beating a mile a minute.
