Chapter 3: Stuck

Thomas had no idea what to expect when he first boarded the train. He just thought he'd just get quietly pissed in his cabin. He was now thinking back to when he was going to jump off the ledge of boat. Was he really going to jump? Honestly, he didn't know. He did it just to contemplate about what it would be like to commit suicide. But, then he didn't really trust that that's just what he was going to do, maybe he really was going to commit suicide. But, now he was really sure he wanted to live. He spotted a pretty blonde girl, she had blue eyes and a smile that just invited you in. Everything about her just screamed "I'm innocent and I just want to be loved by someone other than my mum". Thomas didn't know what it was that attracted him to her, she just seemed so lovable and someone he could really enjoy getting to know.

"Hey." Thomas said as he walked over to the pretty blonde who was leaning against a wall and was holding that back of her neck. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bad headache." Panda answered, as she tried to weakly smile at him. She took in his full profile, he was tall, chocolate skin that looked like it was very well cared for, he was wearing a very expensive suit, but it was now torn and dirty. She almost wished his suit was normal because she could tell he really cleaned up when he had to. His face was kind and gentle, and he came off as very friendly and not as innocent as he perceived.

"Here, you can have the rest of this." Thomas said as he handed her his water bottle, she took it and sent a nod in his direction as she took a drink. "I'm Thomas, so pleased to meet you." He held out his hand for her to shake and she kindly returned it.

"I'm Pandora Moon, but I like it when people call me Panda." She said as she screwed the cap of the bottle back on. "How bad is it?" She asked, she wasn't really sure if she was prepared for the answer.

"It's very bad." Thomas replied as he adjusted his cuffs on his shirt, and saw the sadness appear across Panda's face. "But, it will be okay. Did you come with anyone?"

"Yeah, I came with a girl. Sophia Moore. I was kinda stranded in New York, I have to get to my mum in London, and Sophia agreed to let me bunk with her." Panda said as she rubbed her face. "She was really nice."

Thomas hoped she wasn't talking about the Sophia he had killed… If that was her then he was in some deep shit then, now it was really weighing in on him. He shook himself out of it, maybe it wasn't even the Sophia he was thinking of, it was a big ship.

"What ya' doin'?" Declan asked as he stood next to Naomi, and stared at the door she was also gazing at.

"Thinking. You?" She asked as she didn't take her eyes off the doors.

"Thinking." Declan repeated her, and she glanced down at him. "What ya thinkin' about?"

"About this door, whether or not I should—" Naomi saw as Declan quickly put out his hand and was going to touch the handles. "Hang on there, fireball." She said as she gently pushed his hand away, and she grabbed her water bottle and splashed some water on the handles. As soon as the water made contact with the handles, it made a hissing noise and steam rose from the handles. Declan was about to say something but that's when his mum's voice cut in.

"Declan, hey what're you doing?" Emily asked as she and the rest of the group made their way over to them, Naomi walked over to another room and grabbed a mop and a fire extinguisher.

"This is the way out, mum." Declan exclaimed excitedly. Tony took ahold of the fire extinguisher as Naomi walked past him.

"What do you reckon?" He asked her as he stood beside her and she got ready to open the door.

"I think it was a flash fire, but you can never be too sure." Naomi said and they counted to three as they opened the door, and Tony extinguished but there was no fire and they all breathed a sigh of relief. The blonde and the brunette both looked at each other.

"Flash fire." They said in unison with small smiles on their faces. And, they proceeded down the corridor.

"I feel like I know you're brother." Panda said quietly to Effy as the rest of the group made their way over to the corridor.

"He was a firefighter a while back." Effy said as she watched her brother help Declan through the rubble, Panda also looked on.

"Whizzer, that's cool." Panda said as she smiled.

"It wasn't." Effy said quietly as she ascended over to the corridor. Tony being a firefighter cost them their parents.

The group finally made their way to the lobby, it was now very flooded. Naomi looked down and saw the debris covering the water and watched as it slowly was making its way up towards them. She was glad they were seven floors up from the water. As everyone finally took in the scene in front of them, it was clear it wasn't going to be easy to find a way across.

"Hey, look at the monkey boy over there." Cook exclaimed as everyone turned their attention to Freddie who took it upon himself and he was now climbing across the large beam that now lay across high in the midair, it looked like it make its way all the way across to the other floor. Exactly where they needed to be.

"Freddie, what're you doing? Come back." Effy said worriedly as she watched him.

"I think it'll hold." He said as he turned and looked at Effy. "Come on, Declan. I'll carry you across." Naomi helped Declan down to the edge and guided his body over to Freddie's, much to Emily dismay they carried on. Soon Thomas decided to follow in Freddie's footsteps and helped Panda go across with him. As the rest of the group watched the others go over Naomi watched as Cook took out a flash and took a large drink.

"You might want to take it easy on that." She warned and Cook just waved her off, she shook her head and just went on. "Go on, Em." Naomi said quietly as she gestured for Emily to go after Panda. "You'll be alright, I'll be right over." She reassured the small red head, she gave her a small smile and the petite woman was on her way.

As soon as Panda made it across she jumped into Thomas' arms, she was never a fan of heights, especially now because the beam could collapse at any second, and she didn't really like to die on a ship. Naomi watched as Emily made it all the way across and she felt like she could finally breathe.

"Alright, Eff. It's your turn."

"Oh, no, no." Tony and Cook began at the same time, Cook was going to go before Effy and Tony just stared at the man.

"What?" Tony asked as he watched Cook puff his chest out.

"Right sorry I forgot, big hero." Cook began "You saved all those women and children in all those fires. But you're not the boss anymore, you quit, couldn't hack it." Cook smirked as he kept on taunting Tony. "As I recall, Stonem you couldn't even hang onto your parents." Tony started charging towards Cook ready to beat his head in.

"Tony, stop." Effy warned and Tony backed down immediately.

"Right, Tony, yeah stop." Cook mimicked as he held his hands up and laughed. Naomi watched the entire exchange, she found it childish and just plain stupid on Cook's part. She started to laugh, and offered for Cook to go.

"Go on, Lucky Cook." She said, and they let him pass, Tony for a good measure pushed him as he stepped past him and Cook landed on the large metal beam with a thud, he turned and looked at Tony with a tad bit of fright in his eyes. He stood up and began scaling the side as if nothing happened and he began in his loud voice.

"You don't just get the nickname Lucky Cook from no where." He said as he took a swig of his flask and continued on his way, he then dropped his flask and his luck ran out as he yelled out for it. "No!" Cook yelled as he watched it plummet to the water. Just then something that sounded a bit like gun shots rang through the air. It frightened them and they looked all around. "Hey, who's shootin' at us?" Cook exclaimed as he leaned his head back and looked toward to ceiling, just then the large motor of the ship broke through the ceiling now, and it quickly plummeted towards Cook's body on the beam, it crashed down on top of him, breaking the metal beam and it all fell to the water. Naomi looked up as it did so and watched as all the ships fuel drained out into the water, and she saw a spark, she quickly dragged Effy back and made sure Tony was out of the way, and they ducked as the fuel burst into flames, eliminating any chances of them getting across to the others.

A/N. I didn't plan for it to be this short, I planned for it to be much, much longer. But I am completely knackered and sick. But, I promise when I come back next week the chapter will be longer and better written.

OH. I also have started a Skins Tumbler where I can update, and I am promoting some Skins/Naomily fics that I really like. So follow or go to lmioveless . tumblr . com [just take out the spaces] leave it exactly as it's written. You can get into more contact with me then, you can also ask me questions about this fic!

Hopefully you're not too mad at me for leaving this so short, but I'm sorry I'm sick. Leave me some reviews! I shall be back next week for a better chapter.
