LOST

Chapter 17

Ella's POV

DEAR PASSENGERS, WELCOME TO MARAJO

AN ISLAND OF UNIMAGINABLE FANTASY

The sound of the pilot woke everyone up from their sleep.

''Are we there yet," Ava asked and I nodded and, in an instant, there was a big smile on her face and so were the other girls, who quickly looked outside to see the beauty of the island,

Okay, this place looks amazing,'' Sasha smiled and said,

Soon we were ushered off of the plane, and we were immediately welcomed by a beautiful brunette who looked like she could be in her mid 30's, and she also had gorgeous curly hair.

Hey, my name is Ciara and I will be your matron here.

WELCOME TO MARAJO

You will all be our VIP guests for a whole week, and within that time your satisfaction is our only responsibility here on this island, so we urge you all to relax and just have fun.

MARAJO always has a lot to offer its guests,'' Ciara said.

So, in the meantime, you will all be taken to your room, so that you can all have a shower and rest," she smiled as she signalled for our bags to be taken.

And some heavily built men came to help us with our bags.

We walked for several minutes towards a building and with every minute we spent walking over there, Alex grumbled even more.

''Can you believe there is no cell service,'' Alex complained and I rolled my eyes.

''It is a remote island.. were you expecting cell service,'' I chuckled a bit and Alex continued to complain until we reached the house?

This is where you will all be staying," Ciara smiled, and you could definitely see the excitement on the faces of my friends as they looked around the place.

You will be shown to your respectful rooms, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the island... Because your adventure will soon begin,'' Ciara let out with a huge grin on her face as she turned around and left.

Okay girls, this place is absolutely amazing,'' Olivia said with excitement laced in her voice and the other girls cheered in agreement.

''Well, it's not all that... I could have definitely taken us to somewhere better,'' Alex rolled her eyes.

Alex, won't you give up already, we are already here and there is no going back," Mandy said. and Alex grumbled even more,

I didn't say anything, I just laughed as I got into the place.

I was really here..." I smiled to myself.

Things couldn't be any better right now, because in a week's time I will be marrying the man I love.

In no time, we were soon ushered to our rooms. Alex and I got rooms close to each other and Alex was so happy.

The room's interior was sophisticated but yet simple. I loved the colour layout, it complimented the ocean just right.

Changing into something more comfortable, I picked up my phone to call Arthur but I quickly remembered that there was no cell service.

Breathing out heavily in dismay, I decided to sleep for a bit indeed.

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................

I don't know how long I slept for, but by the time I woke up it was already dark outside, but it was a good thing that I was so refreshed, so I took a shower and I got dressed, and by the time I was done I was ready to explore the island.

I was about to leave my room, when I opened the door, Alex was outside the door with her hands up about to knock.

''Alex... what are you doing? why are you here ?'' I asked, confused.

Ella, there is no time for questions right now... I just need you to come with me, it's an emergency, Ava is in trouble," Alex said, and my heart sunk immediately.

''Trouble? What happened ?'' I asked, What confused.

Fuck Ella just come with me... no questions,'' Alex screamed, pulling me along with her.

My heart was beating so vigorously in my chest, I couldn't just phantom what was Alex had just told me

Ava is in trouble... I just couldn't understand

I just really hope that Ava was alright," I said to myself.

Alex continued to pull me until we got to an open area near the water, and what I saw instantly brought a smile to my face. I should have known that Alex had something up her sleeve.

“Was this the problem that you were talking about," I smiled, asking Alex.

Welcome Ella to your first-night bachelorette party," Sasha screamed in excitement as she popped the bottle in her hand.

Grinding widely... I couldn't believe the girls had put this together on such short notice.

The setup was beyond beautiful and there was enough to drink.

“How did you all do this on such short notice," I asked them and they all smiled, saying

It's all Alex... she did it all," they said, and I turned to Alex, looking at her in shock.

“Well yes it was me, you didn't allow me to throw you a party of your dreams, just like I wanted to back home, so I had to make do with what I had," Alex said, and I immediately pulled her into a hug... My emotions were definitely on a high level.

“That's enough Ella, we are here to get drunk and not to cry," she said as she pulled apart from me.

Nodding and smiling, I quickly cleaned the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes.

“You are so right guys, we are here to have fun and only fun," I cheered and the other girls did the same.

Soon the music came on and Olivia poured me a glass of champagne, which I downed in just one go,

We danced the night away, drinking and laughing

And in no time, we were all drunk, including Alex, which was kind of shocking to me, because Alex never gets drunk.

We continued drinking and dancing throughout the night as we had no care in this world.

But can you blame us? We came here to have fun and that was exactly what we were doing, but unknown to us, we were so oblivious to the fact that everything was about to change.
