Chapter 3 Come with Me.
Tom slipped out of his bedroom window that night , and ran across the fields to Linda's house. He crept up to her window , climbed the wall and rapped lightly on the pane. Linda ran over and opened it. Tom climbed in and sat down on a chair. Linda sat on his lap and she kissed him over and over. She treated this like the last time she would ever see him again. His blue eyes sparkled and his dark hair was soft and shiny. He pulled back suddenly as he felt her tears brush against his skin. She had told him about what her parents had done.
" Dont cry Linnie".
" How can I not cry. Dont you see , this is our last time together. Tomorrow I will be leaving the country and I will be married of to a man , I do not love."
Tom sighed , a tear rolled down his cheeks. " I dont know what to say. Losing you , is a curse , and I am on the receiving end."
Linda bursted into hysterical sobs , her dress was stained with tears. Tom felt dreadfull , there must be something he could do.
" Come with me Linnie."
" What are you talking about Tom".
" I mean come with me to America. We can go ourselves. We will rise early in the morning , We can take the early train to Queenstown. We can board the Titanic together. I have friends in Massachusetts."
" Tom , my Parents will be on that Ship."
" Yes , but it's huge Linda. There will be at least a thousand people on it."
Linda smiled. " It's a nice thought Tom , but we dont have any tickets , and the Ship leaves Tomorrow. Jack is taking me to it tomorrow."
Tom laughed and dug deep into his pocket and pulled two tickets out. "I bought them today Linnie from a man for double the price. It was costly , but I got them. I thought long and hard last night. What do you say Linnie."
Linda nodded. " I told you , I cant survive without you Tom , well I wasn't lying. Now go home and pack. I'll see you at the crack of dawn."
Chapter 4 will be added soon.
