Lifeboats
I stared at the young man in shock. "Excuse me, but you all better put on
your life jackets and make your way to the lifeboats", all eyes turned in
the room to the young man. "I'm afraid sir we will be boarding the women
first. the titanic is sinking!"
The unsinkable Titanic was sinking. Fear filled my entire being, and I
must off showed it for Landon's hand tightened around my waste. "Don't
worry baby, I won't let nothing hurt you. here put my life jacket on", he
whispered into my ear, tears filled my eyes.
"But Landon if I take yours. what will you use?" I started to panic.
"Don't worry about me, I'm a great swimmer, I'll be okay!" he grabbed me by
my hand, and lead Belinda and I up to the top deck. "Great swimmer." that
line kept ringing in my head, which means he won't get on a lifeboat., he
would have to jump. I stopped dead in my tracks. Landon turned to me; panic
apparent reflecting in his eyes.
"If you jump, I jump", he looked at me and shook his head.
"What? No! Baby, you can't! Follow Belinda and get into that lifeboat,
please!"
I put my forehead against his, memorising all the curves of his face, "I'm
scared of not being with you".
His eyes lit up with understanding, when he realised my worst fear. He
lifted his hand to my cheek, "Oh baby that's never going to happen". I
threw myself into his arms.
"If you love me Jamie, if you truly love me Jamie, please get on the life
boat", I hesitated. I loved him no doubt but I did not want to leave him.
He noticed my hesitation and gave me his adorable puppy dog eyes "For me.
please?" tears ran down my eyes as I found myself nodding in agreement.
"We will meet again, Jamie I promise you", he helped me into the lifeboat
and I threw myself into his arms for one final embrace, and kissed his lips
on final time, letting mine linger on his. We knew we where getting funny
looks from all the people who knew Landon was engaged to Belinda, but we
didn't care.
As the boat was being lowered I mouthed to him "I love you", he smiled at
me and mouthed "I love you back". I had to keep my faith, the faith that I
had so strongly believed in for my entire life. God will give him back to
me someday, whether it is in this world or the next.
Okay, now the rest of the story will be about Landon's struggle for
survival aboard the 'Titanic'. No Jamie does not do a Rose and jump of the
life boat. I always thought Jack would of lived if she hadn't of done that
because he would have gotten on the door and lived.
