"All right class I'm sure you've all heard of Titanic before. So I thought you might like to hear more about the most interesting part. The sinking of Titanic. At 11:40 PM on April 14, 1912..." I seriously can't pay anymore attention. I love the story of Titanic, but after taking care of a stomach-flu stricken Rachel I stayed up all night making sure she was okay. I really need to get some sleep. Goodnight Titanic.
Where the hell am I? Oh ocean. I'm on a boat. A cruise ship by the looks of it. Yeah! Always wanted to be on a cruise. But it's kind of cold so I'll find my room. I think to myself walking on the deck. In my pocket I feel a piece of paper. It said 2nd class Deck C Room 265. RMS Titanic. Crap! I'm on Titanic! I thought after looking at the ticket. I have roommates. I can try to save them.
I asked a steward on where my room was. "Go down 2 flights of stairs and go 17 doors to the left, sir," the steward said.
"Thank you sir," I replied. I walked down the stairwell and looked at my watch. 11:38. Crap, 2 more minutes till it all starts.
I went down to my door and knocked on it. "Hello," a female's voice came from behind the door.
"May I come in? I've just been assigned this as my new room."
"Hold on a second," she said then opened her door. "Welcome to our cabin. My name's Rachel. That's my friend Noah over there on the bed. The girl sleeping on the top bunk is Noah's little sister Danielle. Who might you be?"
"My name is Tommy." I had to use my middle name. Finn seemed too out of place here.
"Come on in you can sleep on the top bunk above Noah," Rachel said sitting on her bed.
Then there was a jolt. Noah sat up and Danielle stirred in her sleep. I knew why. The ship had hit the iceberg. "Noah, what happened?" Danielle asked rubbing sleep from her eyes.
"I don't know Dani. Let's go investigate. Tommy, Rachel you guys wanna come?"
"Yah we're coming," Rachel agreed.
Rachel, Noah, Danielle, and I put on coats and saw chunks of ice on the deck. All anyone of us could say was, "Wow." From our position we saw Captain Smith and Mr. Thomas Andrew discussing something.
Rachel and I walked around the deck for about half an hour while Noah and Danielle played with ice. "So where's you grow up?" Rachel asked as we walked.
Think Hudson! THINK! "I'm from America. Lima, Ohio if you wanna be specific. About 5 years ago I came here to see the sights, and I never went back home. What about you?"
"I grew up in London with my Dads and my brother." When Rachel finished talking an officer shouted WOMEN AND CHILDREN!
"I guess you and Danielle should go up there," I said to her. I gave both of them a hug and sent them off. I don't have a clue if I'll survive this dream.
"So Tommy what do you think's going on?" Noah asked.
"I don't know Noah-" he cut me off.
"None of the Noah crap. Only my mom, Dani, and Rachel call me that. My name's Puck."
"All right Puck, but I need to tell you my name's not Tommy. It's really Finn."
"Alright Finn let's try to get some answers."
Puck and I walked for what seemed like forever. No one could answer us and no one let us in a boat. "IT'S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!" a stranger yelled as the bow of the boat began to rise high.
"Puck! We have to get to the bow!" I yelled at him.
"Come man let's go!"
We face the laws of gravity for ten minutes. When we reached the railing I head on for dear life and checked my watch. 2:09 AM. Crap not much longer till we go down. I grabbed the pole in front of me and pulled myself over. "Puck! Grab my hand and I'll pull you over!" I creid out
"Okay." I used all my strength to pull my new friend over the barrier.
A mintue later the boat went down. Then the eletricity went out. The boat rose until it was straight up and down. Puck grabbed my hand and the ship went down.
The boat pulled us at least 15 feet under water. Puck and I kicked and kicked until we reached the surface. Above water everything was a panic. "Puck! WHERE ARE YOU!?" I shout.
"Finn! Finn! I'm right here. This is the only time I will every do this because I'm so damn badass but hug me to keep our body heat."
"Alright." We gripped each other and tried to keep moving. THe water froze my body. I dozed off only never to awaken again.
"Finn! Wake up man! I know you hate this class but wake up!" Mike hisses in my ear.
"Sorry I kinda fell asleep again. I was up all night with Rachel."
"It's okay, now shut up I already have detetion tomorrow. I don't need it Friday too."
I looked back at Mr. Levine explain how it sank. Under my breath I mumbled "God bless all that died from Titanic."
Sorry I have't updated for awhile. I just had bad witer's block for this. There's one thing I am excited for. In my choir I'm in a small group to sing "I Say a Little Prayer" and I'm really happy about that.
