"When one is hurt, all are hurt." That's how it was in our sisterhood, ever since our college days.
It was a hot day as Lana lay in the grass, reflecting on all her friends, gazing at them from afar as they moved about the make-shift camp. It was supposed to be a weekend getaway, but it turned out far more than that! The never-ending nightmare vacation changed all our lives as we knew it. But who would think out all the chaos, fears, and life-threatening challenges we are going through? Yet, some good came out of it. So please take a seat, and let me tell you all about our unique story! I promise you will never forget it.
Addie had cut her hair into a short bob right before their emergency vacation trip. Beautiful skin, tall and lean with a physique we all wished we had. But all these wonderful physical attributes didn't stop what happened to her. Lana can recall it as if it happened yesterday. When Addie's fiance Sean contacted her, telling Addie that he had terrible news. He wanted to call the wedding off.
It all fell apart a couple of days before the wedding. Addie enjoyed a day of pampering at her favorite spa salon and had plans to leave and go to the beautician to get her long hair permed and curled. But, when she received a call on her cell phone from Sean Peterson, her fears became real when he confessed that he couldn't go through with the wedding.
Sean was at a gentleman's lounge, nursing a bottle of Hennessy, gazing up at a topless dancer gyrating before his face. When he told Addie that he loved her but was not in love with her, he didn't want to ruin things by going into a marriage doomed.
Not only was she devastated, but humiliated as well. Finally, he confessed and left town, leaving her responsible for explaining to family and friends the wedding was off. Addie's whole world changed. That's when the emergency Vacation was planned but went into effect. It was supposed to be a weekend getaway, but it turned out far more than that! The never-ending nightmare vacation changed all our lives as we knew it.

Physically Addie had dropped more than twenty pounds in a two-week time frame. She also cut her long hair very short because the stress caused much damage to her otherwise healthy long mane. So, although she appeared to be strong on the outside, she was hurting badly inside.
Even though it took several months for the depression that draped over her to disappear. She is still dead set against men at this point in her life.
Then you have Taylor, better known as Tizzy. She has skin that any girl would desire to have. You can't find one blemish on her smooth skin. Taylor decided to go natural with her tone and slim when the natural wave hit some years back.
Now the length of her hair is way past her shoulders when flat iron. But she rarely ever wears it that way. She believes in rocking the big natural curls God gave her. Tizzy was nothing but very thrilled over the thought of having male captives, especially such good-looking ones. There's also her friend Skylar are, should I say, Skye. Skye was never fat. She was always a thick girl with curvy wide hips and mile-long legs. Even though she's been here on the island, she's lost maybe 30 pounds. But, even with the weight loss, she still has meat on her bones, a tiny waistline, and fine hips, butt, and thighs.
Skye always kept a soft personal smile on her face, but she's the type that doesn't get hurt by men and their games because she says, the trust's no one, if you know what I mean. My sweet friend Summer, with her unique dark features and very long straight soft hair, who's been saving herself for Mr. Right. She has a perfectly round face with nice medium-sized eyes that barely slant upward at the corners. She's smart and focused and wants to be a writer one day. She is open-minded and friendly and should we add in there reasonable.
Then there's me, with an oval-shaped face with large eyes. My hair and eyes are an exact match: a super curly warm light brown head of hair with natural gold highlights from the sun. I'm the logical one amongst the group of my girlfriends. I've been told my name is Lana. Maybe I've never been in love before, nor in a very serious relationship. I don't share any of their views about men. All I want is to get off this unending island and find our way home, back to normality.'
Since Addie has the most survival skills, she has been the one to keep things in order. But she's also the one here who's been through a bad relationship. After helping to get the men settled. Lana sat down slowly to rest, waving her feet in the cool stream of water. It's been almost a year ago, exactly eight months ago, since we got stranded.
We were all starting to lose hope of ever going back to our families or even being discovered. Something happened one day that no one expected. Could this be the answer to us girls' prayers? Or would it prove to be another life-threatening challenge? So please take a seat a let me tell you our fantastic story!
