Chapter 22: Goodbye John and TJ (heh bet you can't guess who leaves)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Matt, Kristen, and Dalton had finally made it to the upper deck only to find that all the lifeboats were already gone. This was not just a saying, they had literally run around the deck twice and not seen one lifeboat. Hope was slowly draining out of them.
"This is pointless now. We're all going to die anyway." Dalton said as they stood in the middle of the chaos. Matt sighed in defeat while Kristen looked at all of the people's faces.
"Yeah I guess you're right." She said quietly. "But I still think we should be looking for Emma and the others. I mean I know she wouldn't leave, not when she knows he's still on here." Kristen said while motioning to Matt. Dalton nodded his head in agreement, thankful that Emma had a certain obsession with his tall friend.
"So what do we do?" Matt asked still wondering if having Emma like him was a good or bad thing right now. Kristen shook her head.
"That's the problem, with all this confusion I don't know. I keep asking myself what she would do." Kristen said shrugging. Dalton kept dodging people.
"Well one thing I wouldn't be doing is just standing there on a sinking ship." Emma said slyly behind the group. They all jumped and saw her standing there with Zack by her side.
"Emma!" Kristen said happily before running up and hugging her friend. Matt and Dalton nodded to Zack to acknowledge that he was there as they waited for the two girls to stop greeting each other. Kristen stepped back before looking at the two new members of the group.
"Hey where's Bri. Wasn't she with you?" she asked tilting her head slightly. Emma cast a glance at the ground while Zack sighed in defeat.
"We unfortunately ran into some complications while getting here, and Bri paid for it." He said remembering the bizarre event. Kristen's eyes got sympathetic quickly.
"Oh I'm so sorry. Tell me how did she die?" the brunette asked quietly. She was taken aback when both Emma and Zack started laughing manically. "Oh crap you killed her didn't you?"
"No…" said Emma wiping a tear from her eye. "It's just that if we told you what killed her we'd be here all night." She finished while Zack finished laughing. The other three still looked confused.
"But what killed her!" Dalton and Matt asked at the same time. Zack looked at his confused friends.
"It's undecided." He said simply. The others looked at each other before finally accepting this and shaking there heads from side to side.
"So what do we exactly do?" Kristen asked Emma who went into thought.
"Yeah and could you hurry it up because we have issues…" Matt said as he lifted his feet out of the water that had reached where they were on the deck.
"Well my best guess is we head for the stern." Emma said as a funnel fell further up from them. "Ouch I'd hate to have been under that when it came down."
"Never mind that, let's go!" Zack said as the new group took off toward the part of the ship above water.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Crap this is not good." Travis said as he stared at the last lifeboat on the ship. It was already mostly loaded and for some reason there were only a few more people standing around it, themselves included. Chelsea looked up at him.
"Why do you say that, we have a lifeboat." She asked him while Ryan and Richy helped load people into it.
"Because they are only loading women so you'd be ok but we won't." he said grimly. Chelsea looked at him, to the lifeboat, to back to him.
"Screw the lifeboat." She said turning her back to it. Travis looked at her surprised.
"Are you serious? You have this chance of living and you're just throwing it away." He asked her.
"Even if I did live Travis I'd have to deal with guilt trips my whole life. That would seem kind of unfair that I don't even like you and I have to live with leaving you here. I just decided not to deal with it." She said with her eyes closed, just as an officer tried to pull her into the boat. "HEY DIDN'T YOU JUST HEAR MY SPEECH! I'M NOT GOING!" she exclaimed while pushing him away.
"Well we have room for one more person and you're the only girl here." He said once again trying to pull her in but she wasn't going. Instead she reached back and grabbed a random girl that was running by.
"Here take her, she can have my place." Chelsea said throwing none other than Lauren in front of her. The girl was shocked as she stood there and even more so when she was thrown into the boat.
"What the heck!" she finally managed to exclaim while looking up at Chelsea, Travis, Ryan and Richy. They all shrugged slightly while the lifeboat was preparing to lower.
"Listen Lauren," Chelsea said quickly. "We will probably be in the water when the boat goes under. You have to convince your officer to let the lifeboat come back and try and find us." She finished as the lifeboat began to lower.
"Ok…I'll try Chelsea." Lauren said as she disappeared below the deck. Chelsea gave a quick smile before turning back to everyone else. The boat was tipping dramatically at the moment.
"Come on we better get to the stern." She said as they all began running again.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ashley, Courtney, John and TJ had just finished throwing Courtney's journal into a lifeboat and were now walking around trying to find someone to take their anger out on.
"I can't believe that guy wouldn't let us onto the lifeboat. Their were plenty of seats available." John complained as he kicked a lifejacket out of the way. TJ nodded his agreement while Ashley and Courtney just looked at each other. They were all going to die and they knew it.
"You know what John, if you want to keep that promise about helping me see Kirby again now would be a very good time to do so." Courtney sighed as she watched people jump off the ship.
"He promised to help you see Kirby again?" Ashley asked slightly surprised. Courtney stopped walking and nodded slowly. TJ walked by her while looking from Courtney to Ashley who was ahead of him.
"Who's Kirby?" he asked, the confusion evident on his face. The blonde girl sighed and simply waved her hand as if to say it was not important. She froze when she heard a loud creaking coming from close by.
"What the-?" she asked as she looked up to see one of the funnels falling right above her. The surprise seemed to have stopped her feet from moving. She couldn't even move when Ashley and TJ started yelling at her in horror.
"Courtney watch out!" John yelled as he gave her a hard shove in the back. She fell forward and was pushed even farther out by the pressure the funnel's collapse had. When it was all over she sat up quickly with the help of Ashley and TJ.
"John?" she called out quietly as she waited for the dust and water to subside. When it finally had the group looked around only to see what the knew to be John's hand sticking out from under the funnel.
"Ow…" Ashley grimaced as she looked at the sight. TJ just seemed to be shocked at the moment and Courtney was rubbing her head. She swore she just saw the hand twitch. "Wow he actually kept his promise Courtney. If he hadn't pushed you out of the way you'd be screwed over by now."
"Yeah I guess I owe him now…" Courtney said quietly. They continued to look at the twitching hand for another minute, before she turned around with a huge grin on her face. "Well let's not make his death in vain, so I say we go find a lifeboat." She said before she actually started skipping away. Ashley joined her but TJ just stood there with his mouth slightly opened.
"That's it! He just died to save your sorry butt and you go SKIPPING away!" he asked not believing it. Courtney stopped and turned around to face him.
"Yeah pretty much." She said shrugging. TJ shook his head quickly as he tried to comprehend this.
"You witch! (sorry people, I would swear but my parents keep walking by) He just died to save your sorry but and this is what you do? This Kirby kid must be an idiot to pick you as a girlfriend!" he exclaimed toward her. That was the thing that made Courtney stop. She turned around and for a minute TJ flinched to see that she was actually fuming, but he stood his ground.
"Don't you ever say that again! I am sad John was killed but it was his choice to do that not mine! If it was your choice I'd probably be dead right now you dumb blonde!" she screeched at his causing a random guy to fall off the ship.
"Right back at you!" TJ said with a smirk. People we have the clash of the blondes.
"I hate you, you know that?" Courtney asked actually spitting toward him. He was unfazed by it as he flipped her off in every way he could thing of.
"Oh go jump off the ship." He told her while turning his back toward her. Ashley was sitting there with popcorn watching the two go back and forth.
"Oh yeah well…you can go get abducted by aliens." Courtney shot back as she too turned around. The two stood there in silence, with their eyes closed, before a bright light started shining over TJ.
"Umm…Courtney?" Ashley asked pointing toward the blonde boy. Courtney opened one eye to see what her friend was pointing at. She turned in amazement as she saw TJ hanging onto the railing for dear life.
"What the h-AHHHH!" He yelled as he was sucked somewhere into the sky. Courtney just stood there in awe as Ashley came walking over.
"Courtney?" she asked quietly. "We should go…" she was cut off when Courtney pointed toward the sky.
"WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS EVER ABDUCT NORMAL PEOPLE?" she screamed into the night.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Welcome back…" Bri said quietly as John opened his eyes. He looked around to see that he was sitting in the middle of the upstairs hallway. Without help he stood up and saw that there were several people also awake but there were still some that looked asleep.
"So what happened to you?" Bri asked startling him from his thoughts. It was just now that he realized she was standing there. He turned to look at her while trying to understand what was going on.
"What do you mean?" he asked her and received a shrug before the answer.
"It seems that when we die we arrive back here but are still in the clothes we died in as long as showing a clue to how we died. Now your clothes seemed to be wrinkled and soaked in blood so I was wondering how you died." She finished motioning to the suit he was wearing. He thought back hard before he remembered.
"Oh yeah, I pushed Courtney out of the way of a falling funnel. It must have landed on me instead." He said rubbing his head. Bri mouthed an "Oh…" before he continued. "So wait when we die we come back here?" he asked.
"Yeah that's what it seems…" Bri said as she watched John. He stood there in thought for a minute before he made a movement as if to shout something toward the ceiling. Bri quickly put her hand over his mouth as she whispered, "Don't bother I've already shouted it…"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Well there ya go people. Hope you liked it. Now I have something to say to all of you. I want to hold a little contest for this story so here it is. At the end of it I'd like to have a written version of a music video (like the song and then what would be happening while it played) and I would like my reviewers to think of ones. There are three categories you can put music to and they are:
1: 1 person. –If you would like to make a video about one person just give me the name, the song, and how the video would happen.
2: A couple- If you just love a boy and a girl character together tell me there names, the song, and scenes you would use that shows them together.
3: The whole main character group- Pretty much that says it all. You would just need to put the song and scenes from the story for this one.
So there you people are. If you would like to try just leave the info in your review. And as always REVIEW! Arigatou.
