Alrighty…….the moment you have all been waiting for!
…………………………………………………………………………
Lilly woke up lying on her bed, back in her house. Her mother was next to her bed and she heard her father yelling at her brother. Moaning, she sat up. Her mother gently pushed her back down.
"Lay still, Lilly darling. Nathan hit you pretty hard in the head."
"What happened…?" Lilly said, then sat straight up in bed "The ship is sinking! We have to get off! Where's Steven!" She yelled in a rush.
Again, her mother pushed her back down. "Relax honey. You're not on a ship. You're in your room. And who is this Steven?" her mother asked with a small grin.
Lilly shook her head, and found it hurt too much. "What happened mom?"
"Nathan thought it would be funny if he hit you in the head with his baseball bat. Your father is taking care of him now. Get some sleep, dear. You should be fine by morning. And don't forget, you have school tomorrow too." Her mother finished, standing. She walked out of Lilly's room and shut off the lights. Lilly looked at her clock and realized that it was already 5:30 in the morning. She wondered why her brother was even up. Sighing, she tied to sleep, but just couldn't do it. Finally, she got up and got ready for school. It was going to be a long day, she knew it.
………………
Lilly was sitting in Geometry, which also happened to be her homeroom, and was NOT paying any attention to the morning announcements being read off by her teacher. But one, however got her attention.
"We have a new student today, class." Her teacher said. "Please welcome Mr. Steven Yerrm. He has just arrived here from England."
Lilly's head jerked up and she stared at the boy standing in front of her class. He looked exactly like the boy from her weird dream the night before!
Lilly watched all day, but not once did she see the boy called Steven again. That is, until lunch. Lilly was sitting outside underneath a tree, when she heard someone walk up.
"Mind if I sit next to you?" A familiar male voice said.
Lilly looked up from the book she was reading and found herself staring into a pair of deep blue eyes. Something inside of her recognized those eyes, just as she had recognized the boy when she saw him that morning.
"Sure." Lilly replied, nodding. Steven sat next to her and gestured to the book she had been reading.
"What is that about?" he asked her.
She marked her place and handed him the book. It was a true story about a girl who was on the Titanic. But as Steven touched the book, Lilly found she couldn't let go and it seemed as if Steven was having the same problem. All of a sudden, Lilly relived her dream in under five seconds. Except she knew that it wasn't a dream as she had previously thought. When the visions stopped, Lilly found her-self staring at Steven again, who looked like he had just experienced something very similar to what she had.
"Did you just relive your past life just now?" She asked, waiting for him to stand up and say she was crazy. Naturally, she was surprised when Steven started nodding.
"Yes. We knew each other."
"We were betrothed to each other!" Lilly said, trying not to laugh. Like that was ever going to happen in this life. Again, she was surprised to see Steven take her book, set it on the ground and took her hand in his.
"That's right. That must be why I thought I knew you this morning." He said, staring at her intently.
"You felt that way too?" Lilly said, her stomached doing summersaults. She felt unsure of what to do or say while he was staring at her.
Steven nodded and pulled her into a hug, or an embrace to be more precise "Yeah, I did. And I also think we need to pick up where we left off when the ship sank." He said, standing and pulling her up as well.
"Do you now?" Lilly said, noticing that Steven's face was now inches from her's.
"Yes, I do. If you'll let me." Steven whispered.
Lilly nodded and felt as if she was floating when he kissed her. And at that same moment, 94 years before, two young adults known as Lilly and Steven shared their first and final kiss on a doomed ship.
