Chapter 16 Poisoned

Chapter 16 Poisoned

Leah’s POV at 18 years old

After I visited God, I decided it was time to bathe myself. I walked into the ocean very carefully as not to step on the jagged edges of the coral chunks.

I mistakenly stepped onto a stonefish, which I didn’t know at the time, and cried out in pain. I slowly limped away forgetting about my bath.

Luckily I made it back to my makeshift house before I started feeling the symptoms of the sting.  I had trouble breathing, my stomach and head were in pain, I felt nauseous, and I was sweating profusely.

I was feeling  sleepy until I heard a voice say, “What’s wrong with you?”

I wasn’t in the mood to fight with Jacob so all I could muster up to say in a very weak tone was, “Go away.”

“What happened? “

“ I stepped on one of those fish that looks like a rock.” I told him.

I felt something made of cotton pressed against my forehead and Jacob shaking me to keep me awake.

“Jakey.” I said resorting to the childhood name I used to call him.

“Don’t go to sleep. Please. Oh no, please wake up.” Jake pleaded with me.

“God. Take me to god.”

“But the law.” Jacob said.

I couldn’t remember the rest because my eyes finally closed.

Chapter 15 Evicted

Chapter 15 Evicted

Leah’s POV at 18 years old

After I got over the shock of Jacob slapping my face and saying those hurtful words, I got up from where I was sitting and started back to the hut.

Jacob w as already there and was throwing my belongings outside through the upstairs door of the hut.

“What are you doing? What are you doing?!” I questioned him.

“It’s my hut. I built it.” Jacob replied.

“That’s not true. I helped you. “

“I did most of it. You can go find some other place to live.”

 I said I was sorry, Jacob, what more do you want me to say?” I pleaded.

I don’t want you to say anything! I don’t ever want to see you again.”

Jacob shut the makeshift door because like I said, he always had to have the last word whenever we fought.

“You just wait Jacob Black I’ll get you for this!” I yelled to him while I was gathering my items

I stormed off after that muttering under my breath what a piece of work Jacob was.

After much searching, I found a small rock ledge not far from the hut that I decided to use as my new house.  I made a wall from some of the palm trees to protect me from the wind and rain.

I also made a fire  to keep myself warm but thanks to the rain and wind, my wall didn’t hold up very well and my fire quickly turned into smoke.  I sat with my knees  up to my chin shivering from the cold.

I looked up at the hut and saw Jacob sitting  under the covered porch. He was giving me a smug smile and I glared at him as a response.

The next morning I was on the beach attempting to cook a fish that I caught but once again, I had no fire just smoke.

Suddenly a half eaten banana was thrown from the cliffs and landed beside me. When I glanced up, I saw the back of Jacob walking away so I knew it was him that had thrown the banana.

Later on that day I gathered a bunch of flowers to make a wreath. I walked over to the forbidden side of the island and left it at the base of the God statue as an offering  on my part.

Chapter 14 A Ship

Chapter 14 A Ship!

Leah’s POV at 18 years old

The next day I was doing laundry in the waterfall while Jacob decided to grab fruit for us to eat later that evening.

After I was scrubbing the clothes against a rock to clean them, I put them in my makeshift basket and headed back to the hut.

I was putting the clothes on the clothing line and out of the corner of my eye I saw a parrot making a squawking noise at me as if to say,” Look Look!” I decided to turn around and as I did, I saw a boat in the distance.  I was right next to the signal fire so I could have lit it to notify them that Jacob and I were here.

I decided not to light the fire so I ended up sitting on the stairs in front of the house and play with the parrot.

Jacob came running down the beach but slowed down when he saw me.

“Leah! A ship, Leah! A ship! A ship! The signal fire, you didn’t light it! Why didn’t you light it? Why Leah, why? You know how much I wanna leave; you know it’s the most important thing in the whole world to me!” Jacob exclaimed.

“I know.” I said softly.

“First you cry for help, and then you throw sticks at me. A ship comes, a ship! The first ship we’ve seen since we’ve been here and you let it go by, just let it go by! Well that’s IT! I’ve had it!” Jacob screamed at me.

“I’m sick and tired of waiting for you to get better; I’m going to New York without you!”

I moved from the stairs to the base of the nearest tree which I leaned against.

The makeshift raft Jacob was always messing with was finally put together and looked like it was ready to be tested out in the water.  Jacob grabbed clothes, food and attempted to set sail in the raft.

Unfortunately once when he was out in the water, the boat didn’t hold up very well. As Jacob was hoisting up the sail, it collapsed on top of him and I couldn’t help but giggle.

Jacob managed to make it back to shore and threw down the clothes he rescued.

I walked behind him and was laughing at him the entire time.

“You’re never gonna build a boat strong enough to get to New York, Jacob. That’s the fourth time you’ve tried and they’ve all sunk like a stone!”

“Shut up, just shut up!” Jacob yelled.

“Why don’t you give up? You don’t even know where New York is!” I retorted.

We walked behind our house to a deep groove.  Jacob grabbed a piece of cane nearby and started to cut it with a saw to make another raft.

“You’re such a silly dodo, Jacob. We’re never getting off this island.” I said.

“Thanks to you!” Jacob replied sarcastically.

“This is where we live; this is our home, now and forever.”

“No!” Jacob yelled while tossing the saw aside.

“I could never live here with just you. I don’t even like you. You never used to laugh at me. You never used to have secrets you wouldn’t tell me.”

“Well you’re not so perfect either Mr. Jacob Black. I’ve SEEN you playing with it, and I’ll tell Uncle Billy, if he ever gets here. “I said smugly.

“You! I hate you!” Jacob screamed. 

He picked up a coconut and tried to throw it at me. Luckily I managed to dodge it to avoid it hitting me.

“You almost hit me!” I yelled at him.

“Take it back, take back what you said!”

“I’ve seen it all. What happens after you’ve been doing it a long time?” I mocked him.

“Shut up! That isn’t fair peeking. I don’t peek on you!”

“That’s a lie! You’re always staring at my buppies.” I said referring to my breasts.

“Only because they look so funny! You know what you look like now, Lee? You look like one of those pictures Charlie had in his drawer, one of his hootchie-coochie girls!”

“I do not! I do not!” I retorted.

Jacob then picked up two coconuts and holds them in front of his chest, moving them up and down as though they were breasts.

“Hootchi-cootchie, hootchi-cootchie! Hootchie-cootchie, hootchie-cootchie, see ‘em jiggle, wiggle, and shake!” Jacob sang.

“Stop that Jacob or I’ll never speak to you again!” I yelled.

He ignored me and continued to tease me about my breasts.

I couldn’t take it so I went to a clump of coconuts and picked one up.  I threw it and it hit Jacob on the head. He fell down instantly.

I ran to him because I felt bad for hurting him and tried to help him up.

“Oh, Jacob, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you!” I kept apologizing.

He woke up, sat up and saw me beside him.  The expression on his face was very hard and he ended up slapping me in the face.

To add further insult before he went off he said to me, “I wish you were dead and buried alongside your parents.” “And my father was never your uncle.”

Chapter 13 Bad Dream

Chapter 13 Bad Dream

Leah’s POV at 18 years old

The little tiff I had with Jacob left me physically drained so I decided to take a nap. I went to grab a blanket, lie on the floor, and let the sleep overtake my eyes.

I dreamt that Jacob ate the never wake up berries. He then tried to go swimming but ended up drowning in the water. The last part of the dream was that he was found on the shore with a crab coming out of his mouth like Charlie. I had also dreamt about the tiki god covered in blood.

That was the part that scared me to death. I woke up hysterical.

“Ahh!” I screamed out loud.

At that exact moment, Jacob was in the doorway. He sat down beside me but I couldn’t see him because my eyes were full of unshed tears.

“What is it?” Jacob asked with a concerning tone.

“Jacob!  I dreamt that you ate the never wake up berries and…” I started to say.

“No, no, I’m fine; you just had a bad dream.” Jacob tried to console me by rubbing my arms and stroking my hair.

“Oh don’t ever leave me. “ I said to him.

I gave him a brief embrace and then looked him in the eyes.

“Promise you won’t, promise you’ll always be with me.” I said.

Jacob looked me dead in the eyes and said, “I promise.”

I lost all thought when I looked into his eyes. The next thing I knew I had started to kiss him. I could tell that Jacob was unsure of what to do but he decided to kiss me in return. He had me sprawled on the floor with him on top of me. He threw his leg over me and started to roll on top of me when the kissing between us got more intense.

I was getting scared because I didn’t know what we were doing so I figured it would be best if I stopped things before something happened.

I grunted and pushed him off me. “Don’t!”

Jacob ended up sitting on the floor while giving me a confused yet hurt look.

Later that night while Jacob was so called “sleeping”, I felt a hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it away. What woke me up was a quick tug of my hair and a rustling sound in the hut.

I looked over my shoulder to see Jacob sniffing my hair.

I wasn’t amused by him doing that.

“What are you doing Jacob?” “Go away!”

I grabbed my blanket, pulled it up to my chest and turned to my side.  I laid there for a few minutes with my eyes open trying to figure out why Jacob was acting the way he was. Soon sleep overcame me.

The next morning I woke up just as Jacob had grabbed his spear and a piece of fruit.

“Where are you going? Wait, what’s the matter?” I asked him

The only response I got from Jacob was a glare as he was leaving the house and heading towards the beach.

I decided to follow him to see where he was going.

Jacob was sitting out at the end of the un-submerged portion of the reef with his back towards me. He was moving his left hand back and forth. I couldn’t see what he was holding. He was rolling his shoulders.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

I startled Jacob and he was making sure that I wasn’t too close to him.

“What do you want?!” Jacob asked.

“Why won’t you talk to me?” I questioned.

Apparently Jacob wasn’t happy that I answered him with a question so he yelled at me.

“Just leave me alone!”

I turned away with a sad expression on my face and left him alone.
