April 17th
Not much as happened in the last day's. We are to arrive in New York tomorrow night.
It's funny, really, in a morbid sort of way. On the Titanic, I couldn't wait to get to New York. I was going to start my life over, begin again, in a better place. But now, I dread it. I have nowhere to go, and no one to go to. I have nothing. No money, food, clothes.
And I refuse to except anything from one of the Carpathia's passengers.
Gracie and I have barely left each other's sides. At least she has a family in New York. But I mustn't blame myself for this, for...living.
There is not much to do around here. The passengers of the Carpathia have basically left us alone, and not asked too many questions, which is an immense relief.
It is quite dark out, and cold. It is raining, but I do not care. The rain seems proper; it fits in with our gloom moods. "It's like the sky, God, is crying for the Titanic, mourning for the people lost," as Gracie said.
There really isn't anything else to say.

April 18th.
It is still raining, and I am inside. The Carpathia is nice, but not nearly as nice as the Titanic was.
We are going to arrive in New York tonight. Gracie is trying to figure out how to tell her aunt and uncle, Daniels Mum and Dad, about what happened.
They probably already know, telegrams have been sent.
I was listening to a conversation of two first class survivors this afternoon. Apparently, Titanic sent out on the first ever SOS distress signals.
Though it only sailed for 4 days, Titanic has made an imprint on history. Sure, other ships have sunk before, but never such as the Titanic!
I think I shall try and forget, because it's far to painful talking about it. But something so magnificent is impossible to forget.
Well, diary, I shall get ready for our docking. I do want to see the statue of liberty, and such, and I don't really have anything else to say.
A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter! The next one will be longer, I promise. It will probably be the last chapter, unless I decide to do an epilogue. (Do you think I should?)
Please keep reviewing!
