Hello people I am back. Well I hope you won't mind but I think these final chapters will be shorter just because I'm running out of ideas. So please don't hate me for it. Also please give me any ideas for "music videos" (see bottom of previous chapter) I really would like to do that idea. Now onto the reviewers.
Insanity-Angel-Devil-Me: Thanks for always being there with lots of reviews. I'm glad you liked the creativity and weirdness. Please if you have any ideas for the music video please tell me in your review.
That's it now onto the story.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chapter 23: It's Over
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Incoming!" Emma yelled as she jumped out of the way of a falling person. She, Zack, Matt, Dalton, and Kristen were all trying to get to the railing while not getting hit by the unfortunate people who couldn't hang on. The railing was about twenty yards away.
"Are we all still here?" Kristen called out over the screams around her. There were multiple responses and after an extremely quick head count she verified no one had slid into the ocean yet.
"How much longer do we have until the ship sinks?" Zack asked Emma who was holding onto the benches in front of him. A low rumbling could be heard.
"We don't have to worry yet, not until the…." Emma began but just then all the light in the area disappeared. "lights go out… ok now I think we should worry." She said as she began to run toward the railing.
"Right…" Zack said as he too began to run with the rest of them following the two. They only slowed down when they saw two people falling toward them that Matt and Dalton reached out and caught.
"Uhhh…I think we know them." Matt said as he held up Ashley. Dalton nodded as he held Courtney up in the air as well. The two seemed to be bickering about something and didn't notice that they were being held up in the air.
"I want the cookie!" Courtney screamed out.
"Too bad, I know Susan so I should get the whole cookie!" Ashley replied while sticking out her tongue. She finally realized something and looked up to see her tall cousin holding her up in the air. "WHAT THE –mmph!?!" she screamed while her mouth was muffled by Matt's free hand.
"Now that's not a very nice thing to say to someone who just saved your butt." He said with as much sincerity as he could. She looked at him before hitting his hand away so she could stand on her own. Courtney did the same.
"So please tell us why you two were freefalling?" Dalton asked in a half mocking tone. Ashley had to be restrained from killing him while Courtney began to speak calmly.
"Well Ashley and I were up near the stern after John was crushed by a funnel and TJ was abducted by aliens." She chanted as if it were nothing but this remark caused the rest of the group to sweatdrop. (If you watch anime you know what I'm talking about.) She continued, "So we were almost there until Ashley dropped the greatest cookie ever made. It went sliding down the deck so we ran after that but we tripped over something and so pretty much just started falling instead of sliding." She finished while everyone was looking at her with amazement.
"So…you almost died…FOR A STUPID COOKIE?!?!" Kristen yelled while trying to not whack them upside the head at the moment. They both nodded happily. Everyone tried to restrain themselves from throwing them off the ship with the debris that was flying by.
"Come on…" Matt grumbled as he began to climb again. "We should start making it toward the top." The others nodded and started to run up the deck toward the railing. Finally they reached it and everyone grabbed onto a part of it.
"Whew… never thought we'd make it." Kristen sighed in relief. She looked back down the tilting ship until she felt someone tapping her hand. The brunette looked up to see Chelsea already standing on the railing.
"About time you got up here." She said half mockingly as she motioned to Ryan, Travis and Richy who also were standing on the railing. Kristen was about to take offence until her friend happily pulled her up onto the railing. "What I was just saying you're awfully slow when you're running for your life." Chelsea finished as Kristen stuck her tongue out. The others were pulled onto the railing as well. When it was all done they were all staring down at the ship which was at about a fifty five degree angle.
"I really don't like this…" Kristen mumbled as she watched one guy fall and hit the propellers. (you know the one) Out of all of them Travis seemed to be the one who was the calmest. The worst would have to be Emma, who had a serious problem with heights.
"Well I prefer it up here then down in that water." Richy said as the screams of people reached each of their ears. Emma shook her head.
"No trust me when I say I would prefer to be down there." She sighed as she listened to the screams. They all turned to her.
"You're insane…" Ryan mumbled but was cut off when half of the group asked her why. She made a motion out toward the sea.
"Well…" she began until a loud creaking could be heard. They all froze where they were as the watched the ship in front of them starting to break in half. "That's why." Emma said before they felt the whole ship split. A scream erupted from everyone on the ship along with everyone underneath the ship. They all held on tight but Emma, who had been motioning with her hand, felt her body leave the ship as soon as it hit the water.
"Emma!" Chelsea yelled out as she watched her friend get thrown from the stern. She reached out to grab her hand but only felt her fingers as Emma continued her descent. She closed her eyes at the sight and only opened them again once she heard cheering coming from around her. Thinking that they were cheering because Emma was gone she opened her eyes so she could yell at them. What she saw next amazed her completely. Ashley was hanging onto the railing but her feet were hanging off the ship. Attached to her feet were one of Dalton's hands, the other one clutching Emma's wrist.
"OH MY GOD!!!" Kristen yelled out in the spur of the moment. Everyone looked at her with shocked faces, each of them acknowledging that Kristen , the one that always did what the bible told her to, had just said oh my God. She looked at them and then shrugged as if saying big deal. They all helped Ashley pull Dalton and Emma back up.
"Wow that was a close one…thanks Ashley for putting aside your hatred toward Dalton to help Emma." Courtney said happily as the ship started to rise again. Ashley looked at her as if she was crazy.
"Are you insane. I wasn't trying to help her. He was in shock that she fell that he didn't notice when I kicked him off. He just grabbed onto my foot and then onto Emma." She said causing everyone to sigh while Dalton now looked scared. The ship was now almost upright again.
"I can't stand it…" Zack said as he sighed, causing everyone to look at him.
"Stand what?" Richy asked as he tightened his grip on the railing. Zack motioned to the sky.
"When this ship struck the iceberg there wasn't a star to be seen and now there's not a cloud in the sky." He exclaimed as the ship reached its upright point. They all stood in silence for a few seconds.
"That does kind of suck…" Travis said quietly and everyone nodded. They felt a jolt and watched as the water started coming toward them.
"Everyone ready for this?" Emma asked as she looked around.
"Not really." Ricky said.
"Too bad…" Emma sighed while reaching to her left to grab Courtney's hand. All the girl's in turn grabbed each other's hands in a sort of way that said friends stick together. Emma then turned to her right and not caring what they said, reached out and grabbed Zack's hand as well. He looked shocked for a moment but then realized what was happening and in a second the boys were grabbing each others hands as well.
"This is it…" Matt said as the water neared.
"Keep a tight grip onto someone." Kristen sighed.
"As soon as we come back up we look for something large enough to support each of us." Ryan said as he eyed the water. Emma looked over to Rose and Jack and suddenly felt sad as she realized this would be the last time she saw Jack alive. She had grown rather fond of him these past couple of days.
"When I say go take the deepest breath you possibly can." She said as they all nodded. The water was now mere feet below them. "Ready?!"
"One!" Ashley yelled.
"Two!" Dalton responded.
"Three!" Kristen and Travis yelled together.
"Go!" Emma screamed as all eleven of them took breaths. The next thing they felt was the water hitting their faces as they went under and slowly and unwillingly they broke apart.
The Titanic was gone.
