Hello my fans! I am here with another story, strictly Bethan! Please enjoy! This is one of the big stories I was talking about! So please enjoy and review!
Benny stood there at the gangplank, his elderly grandmother Evelyn pushing him from behind as he stared up at the magnificent ship.
"It's huge grandmother!" Benny said, feeling a sense of overwhelming joy and adventure creep into his body as he looked from stern to bow of the ship. "Is it really unsinkable?" he asked, looking back at his grandmother who held a mink stole over her shoulders as the servants and baggage people held onto their suitcases.
"Yes my dear boy, the grandest ship to ever set sail and we get to be on her for her grand maiden voyage. Now hurry it up Benjamin! We are holding up the boarding process!" Evelyn said sternly, smacking Benny's butt with her purse as he jolted himself from his thoughts and walked forward into the ship. He walked into one of the grand hallways and looked at everyone passing him by, all dressed elegantly and in their best attire.
"Grandmother, may I explore the ship for a small while?" Benny asked as he turned and watched his grandmother give orders to the luggage carriers as she directed them to their suite.
"Yes Benjamin, just be back in for dinner. We are having dinner with some of England's finest!" Evelyn said, giving her grandson a dollar before patting him on the shoulder and sent him on his merry way.
Benny could feel a sense of amazement in his mind as he walked alongside the deck, groups and groups of people waving to the people on the dock. He ran to the edge and began to wave to everyone as other people threw small bits of confetti off the side. He watched it cascade down to the dockside as people waved back as hordes of other people loaded the ship with cars and crates with cranes. He smiled to himself as the ocean wind blew across his face, his emerald green eyes looking off towards the water. He could hear everyone cheering and laughing as the ships horn blared across the area, signaling it was departing soon. Benny knew he was from a finer background and should hold himself to a higher standard but he couldn't help but jump excitedly and let the excitement of the moment overtake him.
"I see your a jumpy one aren't ya my boy?" came a thick southern accent as Benny turned around and saw a heavier set woman staring at him and smiling.
"I'm sorry madam, I'm just overwhelmed by everything!" Benny said excitedly as he held out his hand for her to shake.
"Oh don't apologize sonny, where I come from you make even the most fine folks look like apes. The names Molly Brown," the woman said, reaching out a jeweled hand and shaking Benny's with vigor.
"Nice to meet you ma'am," Benny said, reverting back to his finer way of speech as he straightened his back and watched as the woman laughed at him.
"Oh lighten up, you don't have to act all fine and dandy around me. And call me Molly, none of this ma'am stuff. So what's your name sonny, and who are you on board with?" Molly asked, walking with Benny as they made their way down the deck of the ship.
"My names Benjamin Weir, I'm from moving from London to New York City with my grandmother Evelyn Weir," Benny said, catching Molly off guard as she gave him a look of astonishment.
"Well I do say, never thought I'd have the privilege to speak to part of the Weir family. Your family single handily took over whole companies through wit and skill, you have talented blood inside you Benjamin. Will you be dining with us tonight for dinner?" Molly asked before coming to a stop and looking up at the taller teen.
"Indeed I shall Ms. Molly Brown!" Benny said, giggling slightly as Molly laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Good, I shall see you and your grandmother tonight! Welcome aboard the Titanic Benjamin!" Molly said before saying her goodbye and walking off into the ship.
Benny turned around and looked out towards the dock as the ship began to move forward, everyone waving goodbye still as the ship moved out to sea with the help of tugboats. That's when Benny suddenly felt someone fall into him as he turned around and held someone up.
"I'm so sorry!" came a softer voice as Benny helped the person stand up before looking into dark brown eyes."I..must have lost my footing when the ship moved forward," the other man said as Benny felt a slight shade of pink tint his cheeks before he stepped back and looked at the smaller person in front of him.
"It's okay, accidents happen. What's your name?" Benny said, watching as the smaller man cast his eyes down from his gaze.
"Ethan Morgan, what about you sir?" Ethan said as he looked once more into Benny's emerald eyes, a slight frown adorning his face as he rubbed his shoulder nervously.
"I'm Benjamin Weir, of the Weir family. Where might you be heading?" Benny asked, watching as Ethan shifted under his gaze uncomfortably.
"I guess where ever the sea winds take me good sir. If you don't mind, I've got to get to my cabin!" Ethan said before Benny watched the other run off down the deck.
"Huh, wonder what's eating him?" Benny asked himself as he watched the other man run off in between other higher end people. He could tell he wasn't first class just by the look of his clothes, all worn and the color faded. Benny shrugged his shoulders before turning to look out into the approaching open ocean as he smiled to himself, he felt like a whole new world was awaiting him on the other side of it.
Not quite as long as the first chapter of the other big story but I have a feeling it'll do to quench y'alls excitement! I hope you like this, please review! You know you want to!
