Today is a day of wonder. A day were anything can happen my mother says. Today is the day I meet someone that has not been there for me my whole life. It is my father. My mother and he were in love she said but things just went bad after I was born not like he didn’t want me it was more of a money thing. I have never meet him my mom described him as a tall black hair blue eyes with the sweethearts but 10 years can change a lot in a person my mother said while packing my shirts. Matt will be here soon she said in a quiet voice. Matt was my best friend I has known him for as long as I can remember me and him like a lot of the same thing but we love to play sports. Matt was to join me on my long journey to Europe that is where my father lives now. I wanted him to come with not because I am scared or anything it’s just if my dad wasn’t who he turned out to be Matt was there to keep me entertained. The door bell rang as my dog barked Matt was here. He walked in with his suitcase I yelled from upstairs “you ready to go!” he answered yes.
I walked down the stairs with my stuff my mom has tears in her eyes just because she is one of those mother that worries way too much. I lived near a small airport so we would drive there. We were to fly on a small plane just me Matt and the two pilots. As we were driving my mom said be smart and don’t do anything stupid with your father. She said he is like that always doing something he shouldn’t. We arrive to the airport my mom kisses me goodbye here friend was one of the pilot so she would take us straight to the plane when we were done saying goodbye. As we walk away from my mother something was bothering me the plane was to small I know nothing about planes but how are we going to fly across the ocean in a plane that only holds 4 people. But I couldn’t not go we have been planning this trip forever as we board the plane my mother’s friend says I knew your father he was a good man but things just don’t work out sometimes. I just replied with a smile. Has the plane taken off me and Matt fell asleep. As soon as we woke up we noticed something the sky was as black as the night sky and it was only 11 o’clock the pilot was saying something into here radio saying some numbers. She kept saying 839 over and over. And then I realized it was a single for a crash because she said ounce after saying 839 she said we are going down. And then BOOM! I wake up with a cloud of smoke above me I look over at Matt he was breathing but not awake I look in the cockpit and there the pilots laying their blood everywhere I knew they were dead so I didn’t pay attention to them my main goal was to get Matt out so I unbuckled his seatbelt and pulled him out my leg was killing me with pain I look down and there is a cut the length of a banana but I couldn’t stop because if I did I would die and Matt would die from the fire and smoke. So I ignore the cute and I push on the hardest part was I had to get the planes door open and something was blocking it looked like a long piece of metal from the crash. So I pull it with all my power and it breaks so finally I can get the door open.
The fresh cold air rushes in the plane I can finally breath air I pull Matt out I drag him to a tree to lean him on. I walk out on a beach and I realized we are stranded on an island I mean I have seen it on TV show and read it in books but to actually live it is terrifying. I couldn’t think of what to do next but I knew the first thing I had to do is get Matt better. So I had to just sit and wait for him to wake up while doing that I fell asleep for maybe 20 minutes and when I woke up Matt was just waking up. He freaks out where are we! He shouted I tried to calm him but he was too shocked to relax. I say we are on an island. Our plane crashed. He must have not remembered because he looked confused. I asked do you remember anything. He replied I remember being in a plane and that’s it. He said well call someone don’t you have you phone. My phone was destroyed in the crash I said. Well what do we do he shouted. We set up a shelter for the night and get a fire going and then tomorrow we will try to contact someone. As we were looking g for shelter we found a small cave from stone and fallen trees I said this will be perfect. As we were walking I was picking up small logs and twigs to start a fire. When we walked in the cave I put the sticks and logs down and I had a lighter in my pocket since I left my house so I late the wood on fire. As we lay down we didn’t say much but we did say goodnight. That night I dreamt the plane crash. That morning was nice the sun was out no clouds just a day to love. The first thing I knew we had to do is go back to the plane and get things that we could use. As we approached there was still black smoke coming out of it not a lot but it is still burning a little. When I and Matt walked near it we could see the dead pilots. Their faces were burnt to a crisp. When I crawled in the plane I could see my back pack which had food and water and a pocket knife which we would need I reach for it and give it to Matt he put it down beside the plane I had to come out I couldn’t breathe because of the smoke. There was nothing else I could see I said so this back pack is what we have for right now. We walk back to our cave we notice a ring. It was Matts cell phone in my back pack me and him look at each other with smiles we pull the phone out we answer. Hello, hello, hello! No one answer the connection is 1 bar they can hear us. Well how do we get a better signal we have to get to a higher land? I look up to a small mountain on the island he said that would be perfect. I said we should go right now he replied yes we should. As we start walking to the mountain we look for somewhere to climb I see a perfect area with rocks that look easy to climb. Lets climb right there I said he say looks perfect. As we start climbing my hands start to burn from the hot rock scraping my skin on my hands. When we got to the top of the small cliff his phone has 3 bars. I said excited will that be enough to call someone. I say I think he calls 911. They answer! 911 whats you emergency the lady says Matt tells here everything that happened and she said a rescue helicopter is on the way. He hangs up me and him look up ant each other with the biggest smile ever not because we are getting off because we were only here for around 18 hours and we get off. We could have easily been here for a couple weeks but we are only here for 18 hours we couldn’t believe it. After about 45 minute us here the helicopter coming it lands on the cliff and a man in an oranges suit comes and gets us we jump in the helicopter. Looking back at the island we would never forget.
