Chapter 11
" How dare you steal Tim from me!" Nate exclaimed to Allie who was sitting across from him at a small circular table.
" I'm quite sorry Nathan." Allie said, " but he was never yours to begin with, Nate."
" Oh… Yeah. But still you know I have a deep fire that burns for, and only for the Timmy."
" Shut up Nate. Please." Allie pleaded. Nate was enraged. He stood up, smacked Allie, and flipped the table over, shattering glass all over the room. With that, Nate glared at Allie and stormed off singing, " Hey, Hey you, you, I don't like your girlfriend. No way No way think you need a new one."
" Nate!" Allie screamed
" What?"
" You're not a girl."
" Oh Hey, hey you, you I wanna be your boyfriend." And with that, Nate left. Allie shook her head thinking ' that guy is so screwed up, but he's amazing.' But she laughed all the same. She knew that whether Nate wanted to be Tim's boyfriend or not, Tim would deny Nate every time. Then she and the maid that took care of their stateroom cleaned up the shattered glass.
Over the next hour, Ruth came in and tied Allie, Rachel, and Cam's corset, while Natalie and Nate, being in male disguise or male, went ahead and into the church onboard. When Ruth and the girls finished tying and tightening their corsets, they too went to church. While they all listened to the pastor preach, Tim was wandering around the ship deck, looking for Allie. Finally, after looking for her about an hour, he spotted her in the church. He knew that he wouldn't be allowed in it because, one, it was almost over and he'd be a distraction, and two, church services were only for 1st class passengers. So, since he couldn't go in, he decided to wait for her. However, one of the ship's officers came and scolded Tim for being in the 1st class part of the ship. The officer then escorted him to the part given to the 3rd class people, then left. Still, Tim was as determined as ever to find her though, even if he didn't know why he needed her so much that day. He just did, and something inside kept telling him to go find her.
It was after the church service, and the girls, Nate, and Ruth were on a tour of the ship, led by the ship's builder, Thomas Andrews. " Mr. Andrews, forgive me. But I did the sums in my head, and with the numbers… oh whatever. There are not enough lifeboats for everyone aboard." Allie said concern in her eyes.
" About half, actually. I actually had it so there would be more, but it was thought, by some, that it would make the deck be too cluttered. So I was overruled." Thomas Andrews replied. The group kept walking. Then before Allie knew it, someone had hold of her shoulder, she turned and saw Tim, dressed up in a black boller hat and black coat. " Tim, I have to stay with them right now."
" No, you don't. Screw the fucking idiots and come with me." He took Allie's hand and dragged her into the gymnasium, which nobody was in, and sat her down on a seat in the window. " OK, Allie, We must be getting close to the sinking. We need a way for both you and I to get out safe.
" As well as Nate, Cam, Rachel, and Natalie."
" Fuck them!" Tim exclaimed. Just then Natalie and Cam popped out from behind the electric horse.
" Fuck you too! Natalie exclaimed to Tim. Then looked kindly to Allie " Guess what I got especially for you, Allie."
" What Natalie?" Allie asked in wonder.
" A bag of marshmallows!" Natalie screamed in excitement. Natalie threw the marshmallows at Allie, who sat them down on the window seat by her, staring at her best friend glaring at her boyfriend. Just as Allie expected, Natalie walked straight up to Tim, slapped him in the face, and said, " You're lucky Allie's here. Cause if she weren't, I'd kick your ass too." Natalie looked at Allie, then back at Tim, remembering her fist commit made when they got on the ship. " Wait, I still haven't kicked you fucking ass, Allie. Once we get off this fucking ship, I'm kicking both your fucking fat asses!" Tim looked at Natalie, like she was an idiot. Allie just rolled her eyes. With that, Natalie and Cam left.
" Well, Tim, I'll see you tonight. I must stay with the group of people that I was put with at the moment. I love you." Allie said as she left the gymnasium.
" I love you too." Tim said, smiling.
