So this is it. All of the pain and studying led up to this very moment. I turned around and nodded at the tall brunette that stood behind me. His eyes were shining back into mine. I had fallen for those eyes before. Not once, but twice. I walked past him, not wanting to make anymore eye contact with him. "Wait...Why couldn't it be different? Us, I mean. Why didn't it work?" he asked.
I stopped, mid-stride. In all honesty, I didn't quite know myself. There were so many reasons on how it could have worked, but none of them seemed to work. "Xander, remember when my mother used to watch over us as? Remember when she would tell us that things won't be able to always work out the way we wanted? Well, it's like that," I answered. I turned to look back at him, only to find that he had moved all the way to the back of the room. I nodded towards him with my final statement, "It'll will begin in 5 minutes."
I continued out of the room, proud of my actions. All of those times before, I had been so weak and let him control me. But not this time. This time, I took control. I couldn't help but smile to myself as I entered the room full of people and machinery. "Ah, Miss Roemer! You're late," squeaked the small man that was in charge of my every move.
I nodded towards him. I knew I was late. I didn't need anyone telling me that. Grabbing the clipboard, I searched through the list of names. Finally finding mine, I crossed it off with the pen that was attached to it. I followed one of the doctors over to the machine. They explained my mission and hooked me up to the machinery. I gave a thumbs up at the guys in charge of it all and closed my eyes, trying to find what little peace I had left. The loud voice of a man filled the room. The countdown to see whether or not I was built for this job began.
Before I know it, I transported back in time. The elegant music filled the room and people dressed up in ball gowns appeared. I spotted a sign over the room that had large black print. It had clearly stated that I was on the Titanic. I rolled my eyes as I thought to myself. I had approximately 2 hours before the beloved ship would crash and sink.
