Yvette hesitated. She hoped he would be able to stand, but when he sank back to the sand her heart fell. She was definitely not going to let him go with her even if he tried. ”Alright, I’ll keep looking back and make sure we can see each other,” she said, putting a hand on his shoulder and smiling reassuringly, though with how tired she was she wasn’t sure exactly how reassuring she could look. ”I won’t leave you,” she said quietly, a, involuntary blush once more coming to her cheeks. Yvette took a deep breath and stood up slowly, scared out of her mind. She was way too timid to do this, but she had to or they might not live. She tried to strengthen her resolve, stepping towards the rocks and closer to the wreckage, looking back every 10 feet or so to see Jhett. She was more doing it for herself to make sure he was there and real than for him almost. She would hate to end up alone on this island.
As Yvette neared the rocks, she climbed to the top of them, looking back once more at Jhett. She waved at him before looking over, seeing 3 others talking. Her face broke out in a huge smile. She wanted to charge at them but her feet wouldn’t move. If she went further, Jhett wouldn’t be able to see her. ”Hey!” she said as loudly as her hoarse voice would go, waving to the other students.
