Ok, I lied. There will be another chapter after this…

Lilly had never been so happy. Steven had proposed to her earlier that day and they had celebrated that night at dinner. She was now back in her room, changing. She was just about to take off her dress, when a shudder ran through the ship. Panic squeezed her heart. A part of her didn't know why, the RMS TITANIC was unsinkable. But another, larger part of her knew that something bad had happened. Her roommates often tensed her about her, American Teen Dream as they called it. But, Lily couldn't help but feel like she should listen to that strange feeling that said something wasn't right.
She put on her warmest cloths and woke up her friends, encouraging them to do the same. She left them dressing, running to find Steven. She had by now known what his room number was. She banged on his door. He answered, startled to she her.
"Lilly? What's wrong?"
Quickly, she explained her bad feelings, and was glad when Steven took her seriously. He dressed and followed her out onto the boat deck. The sailors were undoing the life boats and were ordering Women and Children onto the boats. Men were to join them only if there was room or they would have to meet up later after the ship was safe. Lilly looked at Steven, who was staring at the ocean and the life boats. His arm tightened around her shoulder.
"Steven..?"
"Lilly, your life vest is on good and tight, right?" Steven asked, not looking at her.
"Yes, it is. You put it on me your self. Steven, what's going on?" Lilly asked, panic rising in her throat. Steven looked down at her, a smile on his lips.
"I want you to get in the life boat. I will meet up with you later."
"Steven! I'm not leaving you on here by your self."
"Lilly.." Steven said turning to her and placing a hand on each of her shoulders "Like you, I have a bad feeling about this. But I have a plan. You must trust me. Get into the boat, I will see you off like a normal man would. As soon as your boat hit the water, I'm jumping in. I'll join you into your boat and we'll be together. But you must get into that boat Lilly."
Lilly searched his eyes and found he wasn't joking. With a serious, determined look, she nodded and Steven sighed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he kissed her. Their first kiss. Steven backed away first, and he ushered her to the boats. Lilly got inside, like Steven said to. The boat was lowered, and Lilly watched Steven from the little boat she was in. As soon as it hit the water, Steven jumped. He hit the water hard, but Lilly saw him swimming towards her boat. There was screaming from the ship, the passengers finally realizing the ship was sinking. Steven reached the boat, but the sailor onboard hit him with an ore.
"No men in the boat!"
Lilly jumped up and leaned over the side to help Steven. But the man pulled her back.
"If you don't let him on here, I'll jump out!" She screamed at him. All of the women reached out and held her down. She screamed Steven's name as she struggled to get free. The sailor finally gave in, reaching over to help Steven on. But he was gone. Lilly screamed and cried….and fell into darkness as something hit her head.
