Flight 1D Down.

Chapter Thirteen: Shit It's Freezing!

When I woke up, I could feel two arms around me. I thought that it may have been a dream, but when I opened me eyes, I was cuddling with Niall. Well damn! I truly didn't mean to fall asleep on him. I was planning on just getting warm, then get some space. God, I feel like a homie hopper! But I have to admit, I didn't mind cuddling with Niall. He was so sweet to me on the plane, when Louis was just plain sassy. But when Lou said I reminded him of his sister, that hurt. That's like, WORSE than being 'friend-zoned' !

Everyone else was already awake, and when I sat up, Niall did the same.

"Good Morning love!" His said to me with a sleepy voice.

"Uhh, morning." I was a bit hesitant, I'm not quite sure why though.

"Did you sleep well?"

"For sleeping on sand, yeah. And I'm sorry about sleeping on you, I wasn't planning to, I just-"

''Hey, don't worry about it, love. Anytime you need a pillow, just let me know!" He said with a smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile back. And the eyes in the back of my head told me I was getting looks from Cody. I could just feel it!

During Niall's and my little conversation, I heard Ev yelling at Harry for drooling on her, and to Louis for being sassy.

"Liam? You seem to have all the answers, so explain." I heard Evelyn say when I finally tuned into the whole conversation. "Evelyn, just settle down, they just haven't stumbled upon us yet. I'm sure they're looking." I could tell Evelyn didn't like that as an answer.

Out of nowhere, my stomach growled so loud, I bet people back home could hear it! Damn I was so hungry! Everyone turn to look at Niall, and he looked somewhat offended. Well what does he expect? He's the one who's always eating! I rose my hand with a bit of shame, "Actually, that was me. I haven't eaten since the night before we left for the airport." I admitted.

"That brings up a good point, we need to find some fruit or any kinds of food that's safe for us to eat." Cody immediately took charge. Jesus! Does she ever stop?!? Can she ever go a day without being the boss of everything. I swear, she's the girl version of Liam, only Liam is a lot sweeter about everything! But I knew in the back of my head, that we would probably starve without her. God damn! I hate when I subconsciously tell her she's right!

"I'll do it," Harry volunteered!

"I don't know if that's such a good idea," Liam said and I could tell everyone agreed!

"Come on! I know the saying!" He argued "Red and yellow, kill a fellow, white and blue, good for you," Jesus. We are going to starve!

"Well, seeing as Curly's going to kill us all, I'll go," Evelyn said as she tied up her hair. "It's 'White and yellow, kill a fellow. Purple and blue, good for you', dumb-ass," She scoffed at Harry and both headed towards the forset. "We'll also need to build a fire," Cody continued, "to boil water to keep us hydrated."

I raised my hand immediately, as did Niall. Seeing as I was a girl scout, I knew how to build one! It was the one thing I was proud of! "And Louis, you can fetch the wood for the fire," Liam added. He had a slight smirk on his face. "You're joking," Louis asked like the diva he is! "You are joking, right?" He pleaded. "I think you're capable of finding twigs, Lou," Cody continued. She and Liam chuckled at Louis reaction. Louis huffed and puffed down the beach, mumbling something about being treated like a peasant and kicking the sand as he went off to find some fire wood and twigs.

"What a princess," Zayn chuckled to himself.

"We need to make some sort of SOS sign," Liam ordered. Cody and Zayn followed him a little bit away to go find something to make the SOS sign.

Niall and I started to make a little circle to be around the fire. We found as many stones as we could and I could tell this is gonna be a medium sized fire.

"So you were a girl scout yeah?" Nial asked, striking up a conversation.

"Yup! I did it when I was a little girl, starting at 6 years old up until I was 15. I normally wouldn't have done it for so long, but my mom said it would look good for college." Then I thought about something and Niall could see the change in my face.

"What's wrong?" He inquired.

"I just thought that, I may not even have to have done it for all those years if we don't get out of here.." I didn't mean to put a damper on the happy mood we almost had, but the thought lingered in the back of my mind. Niall stopped putting the rocks in a circle and took my hand in his own. "Hey, we're going to get out of here! I promise you!" He looked into my eyes as he rubbed circles on the back of my hand with his thumb. ''You promise?" I asked still hesitant. It was a bit hard to believe a promise from someone that had no control over the outcome. He immediately took me into his arms in a comforting hug and held me close. I could tell that he had no idea either, but I knew that he wanted to shine some light on the situation we were all in. "I promise, Casey. We will all be home soon, back in our warm beds." Easy for him to say. When he gets home...if he gets home, he'll go home to people who care about him. A true family, so many friends, all of the fans that give him love an support. When or if i get home, I go home to an empty house while my mom is out, and two friends.

When we released the hug, he continued to look at me. Like there was something was on his mind and he wanted to tell me, but couldn't find the words. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when Louis came running back with fire wood, screaming.

"Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!" He was screaming a very obnoxious scream that killed my eardrums.

"LOUIS! SHUT UP!" I yelled over his screaming. He immediately and gave me the 'sad face' look, sticking out his lower lip.

"Mate, why were you screaming?" Niall inquired.

"I got a boo boo!" He said while fake crying. He dropped the wood and sat on the sandy beach.

"Where? What did you do?" I asked in an unamused tone.

''Here! See it? See it?" He said sticking his pointy finger in my face.

"A sliver? Really? That's the big 'boo boo'?" I asked, still unamused.

'Hahaha! Boobear got a boo boo! Do you get it? Cause he's boo... Right, I'll stop talking." Niall began to laugh, but stopped when Louis gave his a look that resembled the mafia.

"Alright, let me fix it. Come here." I said to Louis.

I walked over to my suitcase which held a first-aid kit and took out a pair of tweezers. Yup, that's me! The dorky girl scout that carried everything.

I took Louis' hand in my left one and held the tweezers in my right. "Now don't move." I said focusing in on the tiny sliver.

''OW!" Louis screamed. Man, he is such a baby!

"Well you're welcome! I got it out." I said while putting the tweezers back in my first-aid kit, then into my suitcase.

''Thank You Casey!! You saved my life!!" He yelped taking me into a huge hug! Literally, i could hardly breathe! When he set me back down on the ground, I saw Niall had a somewhat of a pissed look on his face. Why? I don't know. I just brushed it off and picked up the fire wood and placed it in the circle Niall and I had made. Once it was all set up, I struck up a fire with 2 stones and the fire was lit.

Liam, Cody and Zayn were back now and we were just waiting around for Harry and Evelyn. I hope they didn't get lost. As if right on cue, Harry and Evelyn emerged from the forest. Both of their hair was completely a mess. Oh dear god! They didn't! Louis ran over to them, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. All I saw was both Ev's and Harry's faces go red. Oh Lord, They did!

Cody went over next and started talking to Evelyn. Yup, Cody was telling her how we all knew. They all quickly came over to the fire and Louis asked if we could start up a game of truth or dare. Well damn! I've never passed up a dare once and I sure as hell didn't want to choose truth!

"Last time I checked we were all mature young adults and not middle schoolers," Evelyn said in a condescending tone. She would never admit it, but she loved this game! Who didn't?!

"Last time I checked, most mature young adults wouldn't sit around and pretend like they didn't just fuck each others brains out in the woods, now would they?" Louis stated with a plain expression on his face. "Fuck you, Boobear," Harry said as he slapped the back of Louis's head. I couldn't help but laugh! I was sitting next to Niall and Louis and Niall leaned over to me and whispered "You, have a cute laugh." My eyes widened a little, mainly because i wasn't expecting to hear that. But also, that was so untrue! I probably had the loudest laugh ever and and I'm not kidding. "Hey, Stop it. In order to get out of here, we need to get along," Liam began looking from Ev to Louis to Harry, "But it seems like some of us have been getting along really well!"

"So, who's starting?" I asked to no one in particular.

"I'll start!" Louis offered as he clapped his hands together, "Evelyn, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Was Harry any good?" Louis asked, wiggling his eyebrows. I could see Ev blushing so badly!

"I've had better." We all laughed at he statement! "No, I'm just kidding. It was amazing. Best I've ever had, actually." Everyone shut up, and I'm not gonna lie, I did NOT need that information!

"I could say the same for you, babe," Harry replied. We all joined in a chorus of 'Aw's' and it was fun to embarrass her. "Well, since Liam and Cody aren't playing, Casey, truth or dare?" Evelyn had asked me. Shitty shit titty sprinkles! She could be pretty harsh when it comes to this game.

"..Dare" I replied hesitantly.

''I dare you to jump into the ocean...naked!"

BITCH!! "Uhhh..." I was so afraid to do this!

"What? Are you afraid? Are you gonna chicken out?" She asked teasing me. She knows I don't chicken out. I looked to Cody or Liam to jump in and say 'no' but they just sat there laughing a little. Well fuck! I stood up with energy and ran over to a big rock so I could hide from the boys. I began to strip down, then looked above the rock to see everyone was staring to see me jump in! I hid my clothes where only I could find them. Call me crazy, but I dont trust them. "I'M READY!"

"GOOD! NOW JUMP IN YA HOE!" Evelyn yelled back.

I ran a jumped into the dark ocean and went completely under water. When I made it it to surface i just yelled, "FUCK, IT'S FREEZING!"

''MAYBE LITTLE NIALLER HERE CAN WARM YOU UP LATER!" I heard Louis scream and I also heard everyone join in a chorus of laughter. I swam back to shore and put my clothes back on and took my seat in between Niall and Louis.

''Ya know, I will play now!" Cody said, seeing it was just plain fun.

''Yeah, me too!" Liam agreed.

''Alrighty, Cody! Truth or dare?!"

"Dare."

I turned to Ev, and had a little mind reading thing, and we both agreed!

"Okay, Cody, I dare you to kiss Liam!"

Everyone now joined in a chorus of ''ooooooo's"

"Ooo! Get it Daddy Direction!!" Louis said playfully. And we couldn't help but laugh! I saw that Liam turned to Cody and smiled, but she didn't seem to notice, neither did anyone else, but I did.

"Yah know, Nevermind, I won't play.." Cody stated, clearly unamused at what I dared her to do. I saw Liam's face fall into a somewhat of a frown.

"Man, Liam just got burned!" Zayn said while chuckling!

"What? Have you not had your first kiss yet, Cody?" Louis inquired while holding his sides laughing!

"Shove off, Lou!" Cody yelled back. Now would be a good time to change the topic!

"Okay then Harry! Truth or dare?"

''Truth."

"Would you actually marry Louis?"

"Absolutely!" He said quickly and Louis said "Awww Hazza!!"

The game continued for a while but everyone started to get tired. We all took the spots we had yesterday, but more around the fire to stay warm, and I really needed that fire. I was still shivering because my hair was still wet, and the breeze that was coming off the cool water wasn't helping.

"Are you cold again, love?" Niall asked laying down next to me. Normally I would say no, because I really didn't want to seem like a homie hopper. And for some reason, I like to wear my heart on my sleeve, but I ignored what I was thinking. And if he was offering when I was freezing my butt off, I wasn't going to refuse! I nodded my head and he pulled me into his arms and rubbed my back and arms to try and get me to warm up.

"Shit, Casey, you're freezing!" Niall finally realized how cold I truely was. He brought me closer to his chest and held me tighter, and I wrapped my own arms around him. I felt kinda weird to just go from Louis to Niall, but Niall was just being nice. And it's not like I was actually had him or anything. We were just friends.

Somehow I had a hard time convincing myself of this. But I was not going to get my hopes up this time. Not again.
