Edward's POV

We roamed around in the forest for sometime and then Ashima insisted on going back although I told her that we still have time and of course my family won't leave us here and go back but she was being her stubborn self as usual and argued and I gave up, so we came back to where everyone was and what we saw left us both shocked.

"What the fuck" I cursed as I was that no one was present there not even a single person.

"Where are everyone, oh my god did the leave us alone here, did they forgot us here on this island how are we going to survive here and what..." Ashima kept blabbering in a panicked voice and I cut her off.

"Ashima relax we won't have to stay here for our whole life" I said in a soft voice as if talking to a two year old baby.

"But we are alone here how will we go back" she replied.

"Wait I'll call someone" I said taking out my phone from my short's pocket and dialed Mack's number and he received it but I couldn't here his voice and soon the call ended.

"What happened" she asked.

"I think there was some network problem I'll call him again" I replied and looked down at my phone to dial his number again just to see that this time there's no network at all.

"Damn there's no network" I said angrily.

"Give me your phone" I asked for her phone.

"What is it with you and my phone" she replied handing me her phone.

"It's switched off" I said as I tried to switch it on but I think there's no battery.

"I think I forgot to charge it" she said with an apologetic look on her face.

"How can you be so irresponsible you know you should always keep your phone charged in case of some emergency" I replied getting irritated now not finding any way to get out of here.

"Don't yell at me, I told you hundred times that we should return back but you said that we have plenty of time" she said mimicking me and for a moment making me chuckle at her cuteness but soon my chuckle died down as I realized the situation we are in.

"And who wanted to see the forest" I replied.

"Of course me, now blame me for everything, it's always my fault you are right" she said folding her hands under her breast turning her back to me, I have to admit she looks cute when she's angry.

"Okay, we'll not blame eachother for this and we should not fight and argue as we have only eachother right now to be with and I'm sure you don't want to be with the monkeys of the forest" I said but she still didn't look at me.

"Ashima don't act like an angry baby now though you look cute when you are angry but for now keep your anger aside as we both need to find a way to get out of here" I said and this time she turned towards me.

"You are right but what are we going to do now" she asked.

"I have not thought about that but let's sit somewhere and think properly" I suggested and we walked towards a tree and sat down under it.

"God they took every single chair with them, cruel people" I said to no one in particular leaning my back against the tree.

"Edward they didn't knew that we will be stuck over here right" she replied.

"Right" I whispered.

"Edward take your shirt off" she said suddenly after a while.

"God, you want to rape me" I replied dramatically.

"Edward" she said, like telling me to stop my drama.

"Okay but why do you want it" I asked.

"I'll tie it to that branch and dug it in the sand it'll be like a flag then maybe if anyone sees that they'll come to help us" she explained pointing at a thin branch which was lying on the sand.

"But why should I give my shirt you take off yours and use it or maybe you can use your shorts, I promise I won't see anything" I teased while winking at her.

"Edward" she said again this time like a warning as her face flushed from anger or shyness I don't know.

"Okay okay I was just kidding, here take it" I replied handing her my shirt and she did what she wanted to do with it.

"What to do now" she asked coming back and sitting beside me.

"Well we can't do anything rather then just sitting here and waiting for help" I replied.

"It will soon be dark and we don't even have something to eat" she said nervously.

"Are you scared of dark" I asked looking at her with curiosity.

"No, of course not" she replied quickly shaking her head making her hair move in the air from here and there.

"I know you are lying, the fear of darkness is written all over your face" I said trying to control my laughter, she is twenty two years old independent girl but she is scared of darkness like a little baby would be.

"Edward don't laugh" she said or should I say warned me.

"Ashima Mehra who is not scared of anything and anyone, is scared of darkness and maybe ghosts too" I replied and by the look on her face I think my guess is right that she's scared of ghosts too.

"Stop it Edward" she said.

"Okay, are you hungry" I asked and stopped teasing her although I love to annoy her.

"No...okay yes I'm feeling really hungry" she replied and I'm hungry too as after breakfast I didn't had anything and I guess she also didn't had anything after breakfast and it's almost evening now.

"Maybe we can get something from that forest which you wanted to see and because of which we are left here" I teased "You stay here I'll be back" I added while walking towards the left side.

"No I'm coming with you" she said quickly while running behind me to catch up.

I know she is scared because soon it'll be dark and she doesn't wants to be left alone that's why she is coming with me. Well atleast her fear is beneficial to me because she'll be around me and this time with her own wish or should I say she doesn't have any other option, thinking so I smirked.

"Your fear is beneficial to me baby" I said.

"How is that and don't call me that" she replied while walking beside me.

"You are using too much that, I'm confused what should I not call you" I asked although I understood what she said.

"Baby" she replied. 

"See now you yourself are calling me baby but I don't mind it you can call me baby I would love it anyways" I teased while grinning as she groaned in annoyance.

Somehow I'm happy that we are left here alone.
