Suite Life on Titanic ch.7: Rescue & Reunite
It's been at least two hours since the ship sank, Cody was still helping out the oarsmen. He seemed really tired. The boat was upside down. So the oarsmen had to stand up.
"You want me to take over?" Tyler asked.
"No, I got it" Cody said.
Cody was still drying off. His cuts were stining, his shoulder was aching and he had a black eye from hitting something when he slipped in the grandstair case. Something must of hit his eye. Cody waited and waited. He checked his pocket, the piece of wood was still in there.
Meanwhile, in Bailey's boat, when she saw the boat sinking, she felt like crying because she had gotten the word that this was the last boat to be loaded. London understood Bailey's love for Cody so she comforted her. She hugged her when the screaming died down. London was, for the first time, was caring for someone other than herself.
A woman next to Bailey comforted her too, it was a woman from first class. Her hhusband stayed with the passengers left aboard. Her husband was the one who helped Cody on the deck. It was Mrs. Astor.
Finally the sun began to rise from it's night slumber, the dark blue sky turned a pinkish-yellowish, then it turned into a blue sky. Cody kept rowing and finally the boat saw green rockets. A ship! The men on the boat shouted. Cody joined in.
"O'er here!" Cody shouted. They all screamed. The ship dropped her anchor. The first lifeboat was picked up. Cody rowed over there with the help from others. After four hours, the last boat was picked up. Cody sprained his ankle while standing on the boat, because his foot slipped and it hurt it during the night. Cody walked down to where the steerage was, he looked for Zack. Tyler and Frank was with him. Cody looked around and saw no Zack.
Bailey looked for Cody. She had a little hope once an hour went by. Cody went looking for Bailey. Cody found Bailey walking down the steerage area. Bailey spooted Cody. Cody ran, ignoring his pain, towards Bailey. Bailey ran to Cody. They both pulled each other in and kissed. They were reunited. Once they broke apart, Bailey looked at Cody's wounds.
"Oh my God" she breathed. She ran her thumb over Cody's cut on his cheek. Cody smiled and pulled her in and hugged her. Bailey buried her head in his chest. She heard his heartbeat.
"I love you Cody" she whispered.
"I love you too" Cody breathed. A steward came to them.
"Are you survivors?" he asked. Bailey and Cody nodded. "What ship sunk?"
"Titanic" Cody answered. The man was wide eyed.
"The Unsinkable Titanic?" Cody nodded. Another survivor, which was in Cody's boat, came towards Cody. The steward left them. During the night, all the men introduced each other.
"Hey Mr. Thayer" Cody greeted.
"Cody, I was just asking, how old are you?" Jack Thayer asked.
"16"
"Hey you're about my age! I'm 17!" Jack said. Cody smiled.
"I'll see you around" Jack said. "I have to find my mother"
Cody and Jack shook hands. Jack patted Cody's shoulder and walked off.
"Who's that?" Bailey asked.
"Jack Thayer, he was in my boat last night" Cody said. "We saved a man named Herold Bride last night"
"Really?"
"Yeah, poor man though, his feet were frozen badly" Cody said. "He can barely walk"
"I'm so glad your still alive" Bailey said as she buried her head in his chest again.
"I'm glad you climbed into that lifeboat" Cody said.
"Did your brother make it?" Bailey asked looking up at shook his head.
"Cody!" shouted someone. Cody looked at saw James and Woody.
"Hey!" Cody said. "You two made it!"
Bailey let go of Cody so Cody could greet his friends. They all got into a group hug. Tommy came by and hugged Cody. Bailey was happy.
"All be damned," Tommy said. "You really got cut up!"
Cody nodded. He motioned Bailey over. Cody grabbed her hand. "Did Robert make it?"
Tommy shook his head. "He didn't" Tommy said sadly. Tyler went over and the two brothers grieved. That night, the survivors received the extra rooms. Bailey, Cody, James and Frank had a room. Tyler, Tommy, Woody and London got another. The room Cody got had three beds. It was a second class room. It had a bunk bed and a couch. James called the couch. Frank got the top bunk and Cody and Bailey shared a bed.
