Charlotte ran down the boat deck, pushing past the people in her way. The only thing that mattered was getting to him. She needed to see him. She needed to know he was okay.
"Move! Get out of my way!" She shoved a woman away from her and spotted the man she was looking for.
Charlotte ran to him and threw her arms around his neck and began sobbing into his chest. She couldn't believe this was happening.
"Charlotte, get on a boat. You need to get on a boat." His arms wrapped around her waist and she felt him squeeze her waist. He felt warm; he felt like home.
"come with me. Please come with me! I can't leave without you!" Charlotte was pushed away a few inches. He looked deep into her eyes, his hands in the sides of her face, and he kissed her. He kissed her slowly, despite the chaos around them. She could feel every emotion in that kiss and Charlotte kissed back just as desperately.
"Get in the boat!" He pulled back and pulled her into a tight hug. Charlotte never wanted him to let go.
"Stay with me." She whispered to him. She wanted him to be with her.
"Im so glad I met you Charlotte. You're the perfect ending to a life." Charlotte felt her eyes blurring. She couldn't believe she was going to lose the only thing she was certain of; Will.
"I'm not going!" She kicked and screamed but it didn't make a difference. Will picked her up and handed her to a man in one of the lifeboats. She was set down and told to stay and it took a man to hold her down, for her to listen.
"Will! I don't want to do this! Don't make me do this!" He ignored her cries and stretched out his arms and told them to lower the boat.
"Please, Will! I need you!" Charlotte didn't think she could survive without him he made her complete
Charlotte looked up at him, tears streaming down her face. He was watching her as he yelled at his men to lower the boats. Her heart was breaking. She wanted to be at his side and not in this god dammed boat. But he wouldn't let her stay.
"Keep it steady!" She pulled his jacket tightly around her body, the memory of the two of them, just a few hours earlier was burned into her mind; she would never let it fade.
"Keep lowering!" She sniffled and wiped her nose and her tears on her jacket. She needed him to be with her; she needed him beside her.
"Will..." She whispered hoarsely, he didn't hear her but he got the message. She never took her eyes off of him until he was out of sight. Even then she stared at the boat as the only sure thing she had in her life, sent her away. Alone.
She started sobbing uncontrollably, leaning on the woman beside her. She had never been so hurt before. She had never felt so helpless. She just wanted Will. That's all she wanted.
"I'm sorry Miss." She sniffled and pulled the collar of the jacket up and around her face. Her hands were numb, her face was numb, her whole body felt numb.
"I'll never see him again." A new wave of tears hit her and she felt herself sobbing again. The woman beside her pulled her in for a hug and she cried on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry."
