Alright we are onto Chapter 10. I never thought I would get this far for this story. I would like to thank all reviewers who took the time to put their thoughts out to me. You all get free kittens. So onto the part of answering the reviewers.
Rachel-Rabbit-RaRa: Yes being a human piñata is VERY painful I suppose. I feel bad for you if you had to go through that. Thanks for reviewing and here's a kitten. (hands her a white and gold kitten)
Ccpopstar: …Thanks Chelsea. I promised people that no one would know these are real people but you kind of blew that idea. Yes people these characters are based off actual people I live around everyday. Don't worry, your cross dressing days are not over. I'll try and make you appear more you egotist. Here's a kitten (hands her a black kitten)
I Need More Cowbell: Yes Chelsea does scare people sometimes and that was one of their moments. Let's take a second and mourn for Emma. Ok thanks for reviewing, and here's your kitten (hands her a grey one)
Ok I think that's all for the reviewers. Please guys, review for the next chapter too. Ok so on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Titanic… or any songs I might use in this story. I do own the characters though.
Now onto the story
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(last time)
"When she leaves you're following me." She said quietly to Matt who was sitting next to her. Matt looked over to Rose then turned back to Emma.
"And why would I follow you?" he asked her but she gave him one of her smirks.
"Oh I don't know THIRD CLASS BOY. Why would you be following me?" she added extra emphasis on those three words, making him sigh and sit back in his seat. It was about five more minutes before Rose got up and left.
"Stay here." Emma told Chelsea and mouthed to Courtney. Chelsea watched as her friend and the tallest guy of the group got up and left.
'Emma, whatever you're getting yourself into you'd better be ready, cause I'm not bailing you out.' Chelsea thought as she listened to Ashley choke.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chapter 10: Following the Suicidal Flower
"Emma, why are we bothering with this situation? Jack will find Rose when she runs by him on the bench and then we both know the story from there." Matt said as he ran after the girl. Surprisingly she was pretty fast for running in a dress, even though she was barefoot. As soon as they had reached the deck she had taken off her shoes and thrown them to the deck below. Matt had to shout an apology over when he heard a scream of pain from someone below.
Emma stopped in front of him and turned with a calm smile. "Because Matt when we wished this we wished to be on the Titanic, not in the movie. I believe we were put it this movie to make sure everything happened correctly." Matt opened his mouth but Emma put her hand up. "Yes Matt, even the sinking part. Besides you know me and my meddling." She said with an innocent smile. Matt shook his head in defeat but then another question popped into her head.
"Hey Emma, why did you pick me to come with you?" he asked.
Emma laughed. "Matt I doubt even you're so dense not to realize that answer." Matt rolled his eyes as he remembered the whole school years incident about Emma liking him. The two started running again after Rose, and soon they came to the bench where Jack was laying down. They stopped their quickly and Jack looked at the two.
"Hey Matt and…random first class girl?" Jack said with a questioning look on his face.
"Oh Jack this is Emma, but that's not important at the moment. You didn't happen to see a random red headed girl run by here did you?" Matt asked as Emma nodded as if saying that was the right question.
"Actually I did, and she didn't look that great. She had tears running down her face and literally flew by here. I was going to help but then I thought that she wouldn't accept help from me." Jack said as he let his head drop. Matt looked at Emma for help but she was looking toward the stern.
"Make sure it happens Matt." She said before she began sprinting toward the end of the ship. Matt just watched as she left before turning to Jack and trying to convince him to go see Rose.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Emma didn't have far to run to get to the stern, and she was lucky in that matter because Rose was standing on the suicidal side of the railing. Emma ran to a couple of feet behind her and quietly said, "You really don't want to do that Rose." Rose quietly turned her head around so she could face Emma.
"Oh Emma, what are you doing out here?" She asked while her knuckles began to turn white.
"You know Rose, I usually would answer that, but tonight I believe I have a little more right to ask you that first." Emma said with a smile. The last thing she would need is Rose jumping off this ship and ruining the story.
"Well…I-I…just needed s-some air." She said and Emma couldn't help but smirk.
"Off the back of the ship?" she walked until she was leaning on the railing and looking out to the sea. A couple of minutes passed and Emma wondered if Matt was giving a Jack a lecture on why he should stop Rose. She turned back to the confused red-head. "You're losing the game Rose." The older girl turned to her.
"What do you mean by that." She asked. 'Hurry up Matt!' Emma thought.
"Oh nothing, just a song that I learned a little while ago from the wisest in my town." Emma said, then adding to herself, 'actually from a cartoon movie but who's counting.'
"Oh well … may I hear it?" Rose asked and Emma smiled to herself at her ability to stall this suicidal girl.
"Well I won't cause your ears to bleed by my singing but I can tell you the lyrics if you want." Emma said and Rose nodded. The brunette took a breath and then began to speak.
Not just a game
We all want to win
Keep your hand a secret
Unleash the monsters within
Sometimes it's over
Before it's even begun
If someone else gets hurt then
What have you really won?
I'm always one card short
Always one day late
For once I'd like an ending
I can celebrate
I need just one more move
One final chance to prove
I can win this game
At this part of the lyrics Matt and Jack finally showed up behind them but the two didn't notice. So Emma had three listeners as she finished the lyrics.
Not just a duel
That's how the world is made
But are we really players
Or are we being played
Is what happens next in your control
Are you doing what you want or what you've been told
Do you choose the cards from your own hand
Or are we just puppets in a master plan
Emma smiled and watched as Rose seemed to calm down a little. The two stood there in silence until Matt quietly went up behind Emma and whispered "He's here." Emma turned around and saw Jack standing there, looking at the girl hanging off the railing. Emma turned back to Rose.
"Well I'll give you a couple minutes to think about this. If you need me I'll be over here." Emma pointed a thumb backwards and then left. "Give her thirty seconds." She muttered to Jack as she and Matt turned walked over to a bench about twenty five feet away. Jack waited the correct time and then quickly said, "Don't do it."
"See Matt I told you we were here to make sure everything happens correctly." Emma said with a smirk as she watched Jack and Rose talk. Matt rolled his eyes.
"My question is where you got that song from. It had absolutely nothing to do with life." He asked her right back. Emma laughed quietly.
"It's actually from a movie I saw when I was in seventh grade, and if you think while listening to it you get a few of life's little lessons." Emma said quietly as Jack threw his cigarette overboard. Emma turned her face up to the stars and looked at them. "So can you tell me why you have a large bruise on your head?" She said without looking at Matt beside her. Matt touched his head quickly before remembering.
"Oh yeah, my cousin or your friend fell off the deck today in a drunken state. She knocked both me and Dalton to the ground." He said as he quickly fixed his jacket. Emma smiled.
"Ok well that explains it." She said and then looked back at Jack who was helping Rose turn around. "Oops…time to go." She said getting up and heading over to the soon to be couple. Matt followed and asked "why?"
"To make sure Matthew." Emma said simply and watched as Rose slipped and was now screaming her head off. The two walked the last ten feet and grabbed Rose's arm, right beside Jack.
"Don't worry, I won't let you go." Jack said to the now terrified Rose.
"And neither will we." Emma said motioning to her and Matt.
It took the group about twenty more seconds before they finally got Rose over the railing, and then they all fell on deck. Right then the officers decided to appear and this is what they saw. Rose was laying flat on the deck with Jack above her. Emma and Matt had both somehow landed on her arms and in the process of getting up, looked like they were holding her down. The two youngest both knew they had the same words flying threw their heads.
"You stay right there, and don't move an inch!" The one shouted and then turned to the other. "Fetch the Master of Arms."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Was this part of making sure everything happened correctly Emma?" asked Matt.
"Umm…this part I would have to say no." Emma said as the officer locked her handcuffs. Rose was standing with a blanket around her as Matt, Emma, and Jack were all being arrested for who knows. Cal had taken out part of his anger on Emma and Matt and was now shouting at Jack.
"Well, it could be worse." Emma said as she looked at Matt.
"Oh you mean like all our friends were here to see this?" Matt said and Emma turned around to see that both groups were there with their eyebrows all raised.
"Crap." Emma said simply.
"Yeah, exactly." Matt said shaking his head. The two turned back to Rose who was explaining why she was over the ship. The officer looked at Jack and asked him if that was true, and after a moments hesitation said yes. The officer was now looking at Emma and Matt.
"And what were you two doing out here?" He asked them. Emma sighed and thought about what to say.
"We were out here for a walk." She said simply.
"Together?" the guard asked and Emma felt like punching this guy if he asked one more question.
"Yeah, together." Matt stated. "We were walking around the deck and we heard her scream so we ran to help her. When we got there she was already halfway up but we helped anyway." Emma shook her head in agreement as if saying that was what had exactly happened.
"Well then these three are heroes then, good for all of you." The master of arms said as all their handcuffs were taken off. Emma sat there, rubbing her wrists as she watched Cal try to pay Jack, but then he turned and invited all three of them to dinner with him tomorrow evening. Emma shrugged and looked at Matt to see if he wanted to and Matt nodded quickly. After Rose and Cal had left, Emma and Matt turned and started walking back to their rooms.
"We're going to keep bothering them aren't we Emma?" Matt asked and watched as Emma gave him the "You know it." Smile.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
