I Bought A Private Island

//While spending a day on Jimmy's island for a video, Karl and Y/n finally confess their feelings for each other.  //

Please remember that English is not my first language, so please don't kill me.

I was supposed to take part in my first challenge. Sadly, it wasn’t meant to happen.

Jimmy offered me to take part in the last video, were we just had to scan thousands of scratch-up-tickets and now he asked me to spend twenty-four hours on the island, which he bought with the money he won.

I thought it was stupid to spend so much cash on scratch-up-tickets, on the other hand the idea of winning an entire island was enough for me to say yes.

“I honestly can not believe that you just can buy an island.”, Jimmy said when we neared the beach of said island.

The island was beautiful. The sand was almost white; the sea was crystal clear and being here kinda felt like a dream.

We loaded everything from the boat over to the island and met up with Jimmy for a part of the video.

“Do you have everything you need?”, he asked us when the camera started recording.

Everybody muttered something like a yes, and Jimmy told the boat driver to leave. Just for the content, the boys screamed at him to stay and it was kinda funny to watch, to be honest, but I just didn’t feel like screaming.

“We are going to die.”, I whispered to Tareq, which he just laughed off.

“We are now stranded on this private island for the next 24 hours and to celebrate, let’s go explore the new island, because I have no idea what I bought.”, Jimmy explained.

However, in the middle of his speech, Karl pulled me toward the almost jungle like forest on the island and the others followed us. It was refreshing to get out of the blazing sun for a little while.

“Yeah, we are in a jungle now. I thought we were on the beach.”, Chris exclaimed when we walked into the so called ‘tube’.

While we were crossing the island, Jimmy told everyone what we could expect from this island.

“Do we go left or do we go right?”, Jimmy asked when the path parted.

“Left.”, we all said at the same time.

It was staged, but it was still funny thou.

“Okay, I guess we’re going left. Bye cameramen.”, Jimmy waved while Chandler took the lead.

“Left is the good path, I was told by the native animals.”, Chandler explained, and after a few more minutes of walking, we acutely saw animals.

“There are pigs on this island?”, I asked, excited.

Except for Karl, Tareq and me, everybody knew about the pigs. We split up the first time when we got to the intersection and while they found the pigs, we noticed nothing interesting.

“If there are pigs on my island, do I own the pigs? Is that how this works?”, Jimmy asked the camera.

“Wait Chandler, what if we find an ostrich on here?”

“Than I will swim back to the mainland. Ostriches are scary.”, I mumbled.

“Did we discover one of Y/n fears?”, Jimmy laughed while Chandler looked at me, acting mad.

The pigs were really cute and while the boys tried to pet them, they apparently showed more interest in my shoes.

“Y/n is stealing all the pigs.”, Chris exclaimed offended, and pointed in my direction.

“No, I’m not. You are just boring. Look, they like Jimmy too.”, I answered, pointing to one of the pigs that sniffed on Jimmy’s leg.

Sadly, we had to leave the pigs behind. We were supposed to ‘survive’ 24 hour on an island and not patting pigs.

“This is the craziest thing I’ve ever experienced. I’ve never seen live pigs, like wild.”, Chris starts another conversation with Jimmy.

“I didn’t even know you could buy an island a month ago.”, Jimmy laughed at that.

“Really? I mean you can buy parts of the moon, so why not an island?”, I asked, and Jimmy’s head shot back to me.

“You can buy property on the moon?”, he asked.

“Yeah, but you aren’t able to do anything with it anyway, so it wouldn’t be interesting enough for a video.”, I explained, trying to convince him not to buy it.

After what felt like infinity, we made it to the other half of the island.

“Bro, it never ends. How much more Island is there, Jimmy? This is ridiculous.”, Karl asked what I was thinking about.

After naming the island, we headed back to the camp to get everything ready before it gets dark. Tyler built a shelter while we were exploring the island and surprisingly it looked really cool, but I still couldn’t understand why we didn’t just bought tents too. We are around fifteen people here, even if the viewers will only see us six, and except for us, everyone was sleeping in a tent.

Jimmy gave each of us tasks, because he got bored.

“Chris and Y/n you are in charge of fire, food and building structures.”

“So we do everything?”, I asked, while Chris plunged into work.

“Yes, because you two are good at everything. Karl, you’re in charge of mapping the island. That includes figuring out what animals are here, figure out what fish are around and just drawing a map.”

“He really gets into it, huh?”, I asked Chris while we collected firewood.

“When does he not?”, Chris laughed and throw a stick at me.

“Yeah, you're right. Do you know what you want to do with the island if you win it?”, I asked him, after I caught the stick.

“I don’t know. Probably sell it. I mean, it’s not like we got time to get here very much anyway.”, he shrugged.

“Sad but true. I will probably do the same or I would train the pigs.”

Chris laughed and we spend the next few hours just talking about stupid stuff and making dumb jokes, while doing our work.

A little bit later, Chandler shot a flare gun. I didn’t know if that was planed from Jimmy, but it scared the hell out of me. Chandler ran way after that and we actually didn’t saw him for some time, if one of our cameraman weren’t with him, I would be worried. Meanwhile, we build the fire because it was getting dark really quickly.

Chandler came back eventually, after stealing one of the cameras, and we ate our hot-dogs. Then we waited for it to get really dark, because the guys wanted to walk back to the cave with touches. My heartbeat was so high the whole time, because I always expected one of the guys to jump out of the dark to scare me. Karl noticed it at some point and took my hand. I was smiling lightly at him while we kept walking. I had a crush on Karl for a long time now, so it didn’t slow my heartbeat down, but I felt safer now. The two caves were actually so big that all of them kinda started to hallucinating things in the shadows, at least I hope they did.

On our way back, we got lost and hearing all the animals didn’t make it less scary.

“Well, we can’t go that way, because we heard a wildlife. That’s where we came from.”, Jimmy stared, pointing out directions.

“We heard a wildlife.”, Chris laughed, more concentrated on his touch after he almost burned himself.

“Man, I’m scared, but that was probably just one of the pigs or a mouse.”, I tried to calm the boys down a bit and smiled at Karl, who looked really worried.

This time I took his hand and gave it a little squeeze, to show him that he is not alone. We walked for a little while longer. I didn’t recognize anything, but the boys seemingly did.

“Oh, I know where we are.”, Jimmy suddenly spoke up.

“On the wrong side of the island?”, Chandler asked, disappointed.

“Yeah.”, Jimmy sighed, “We are on the north side. Our camp is on the south side.”

Nobody said anything for a few seconds. We were exhausted by now, but at least they weren’t so scared anymore.

“Alright, everyone follow me.”, Jimmy broke the silence, and we headed back. This time knowing where we were heading.

As we were walking, Chris tried to scare us, but it didn’t work, because Jimmy runed it.

“I say we end the night with some nighttime swimming?”, Jimmy asked us when we finally reached the camp.

Everybody cheered and even though we were tired, we were sweaty too and the boys didn’t gave me a choice anyway, because they just dragged me in there with them. At first, it was fun, but after a while Taylor claimed to be touched, even though no one else was around. I thought he was trying to scare us, but a few seconds later, my whole body started to burn.  

I tried not to scream, but I took a sharp breath. This and my wincing did not go unnoticed by the guys.

“Okay, something is in the water.”, somebody exclaimed. I wasn’t sure who it was, but I didn’t care anyway because of the pain.

Chris got me out of the water, because he was the closest and Karl was by my side as soon as we reached the beach.

They laid me down when we reached the ‘hut’ made by me and Chris. I didn’t catch much of what happened after that. I just felt pain for some time.

“Well, we can’t get her back until the sun rises.”, someone said, and I felt some shifting next to me.

“Is it still so bad?”, Karl asked and softly stroke a strand of hair out of my face.

They put me on my stomach when they laid me down, because most of the injuries were on my back.

I just nodded, what made my hair fall back in my face.

“At least you are responding now. Did you even notice that the paramedic treated you?”, he asked carefully.

“No, what happened anyway?”, I asked.

“We think it was a jellyfish. You weren’t responding for like ten minutes. You scared me.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. Do you still think I was overreacting when I took a paramedic here?”, Jimmy asked and sat next to us.

“What ever makes you sleep at night.”

“Now that you bring it up, we should really go to sleep now.”; Tyler yelled.

Jimmy asked if I wanted to sleep in the tents with the other people, but I declined. After we build the shelter, we could use it now, anyway.

Chris and I took Karl in, while Tyler, Jimmy and Chandler took Tyler’s shelter. But as much as I tried to sleep, I couldn’t. While the pain was bearable, after I got used to it, Karl made me nervous. Normally, we wouldn’t sleep that close together or we wouldn’t sleep at all, but not this time.

“Can’t sleep?”, Karl asked after a while.

I was surprised, but turns out the snoring came from Chris and not him how I thought at first. I also wasn’t sure how he saw I was awake, yet I didn’t want to ask.

“No, not really. What about you?”, I whispered back.

“I’m too nervous.”

“Nervous? Why are you nervous? Afraid of mosquito bites?”, I laughed.

“No. I’m afraid of doing something weird.”

“Like Chris’ snoring?”

“Yeah, or this strange twitching thing, when you feel like falling.”

“Why? Do you think Chris will think you are weird?”

“Almost. I’m scared that you will think I’m weird.”

“You’re cute.”, I smiled and kissed his cheek, finally realizing his feelings.

“I like you.”, Karl smiled slightly.

“Good. Because I like you too.”

“Finally. Now get some sleep. Jimmy will kill us otherwise.”, Chris mumbled, which made Karl and I laugh.

“Night Chris. Night Karl.”, I answered softly.

“Goodnight.”, they muttered back.
