Love at Sea 2
Chapter 12
Growing Up
"When we land, I'm getting off this ship," Namine said, "And I'm going to home".
"Then this mean I won't be able to see Olette" Hayner thought. He stood there dumbstruck, "What?" he said quietly.
"Why?" Olette ask.
"I don't want to see Roxas" Namine said, "I don't want to get hurt again. I want to go home. I miss everyone, all our friends, the beach, the clock tower, the town, the stars"
"Okay Namine, for you" Olette began, "we'll go home".
"Thanks, Olette" Namine said. She stood up and hug her friend.
While they were hugging, Hayner left the room. He head toward the upper deck.
Everyone was still working on deck. Roxas was now sailing the ship, since Hayner left his post.
Hayner look at Roxas, Roxas look at Hayner. Hayner then realize he and Roxas had a fight, he look away and head toward the kitchen. Roxas look away and kept on sailing the ship.
Kitchen
Hayner was staring at the wall. It had a growth chart. It brought back a lot of memories.
Flashback
"Captain Turner!" yell 8 year old Hayner and Roxas as they pull Captain Turner into the kitchen.
"Boys! Boys!" Turner yell, "what do you want?"
Hayner and Roxas let go of Turner.
"Remember what you said yesterday!" Hayner yell.
"You said that you were going to measure us!" Roxas yell.
They pouted.
"I don't remember saying that" Turner joked.
"Come on, Turner!" the boys moan.
"Alright then, I'll measure you two" Turner said, "First Hayner"
Hayner stood against the wall. Turner grab a knife and crave a line on top of Hayner.
"There" Turner said.
Hayner turn around and look at how tall he was.
"My turn!" Roxas yell.
"Okay, Roxas, your turn" Turner said.
Roxas stood against the wall. Turner measure him.
"Done" Turner said.
Roxas look how tall he was. He was 2 inches shorter than Hayner.
"My how you two have grown!" Tuner said, "next thing you know you'll be as tall as me".
"I hope so" Hayner said.
"Yeah, I want to be just like you" Roxas said. He hug Turner's leg.
Hayner hug Turner's leg too.
"Well growing up is hard. You have to make the right choices in life. You need to sacrifice some things in order to get what we want" Turner said, "and hard work. I didn't become captain of a bunch of pirate by doing nothing".
"I don't care what it takes, I want to be a captain too" Roxas said.
"Is that what you really want to be?" Turner ask.
Roxas nodded.
"Well someday you will be captain" Turner said.
End of Flashback
"You were right" Hayner said to himself, "now me and Roxas are as tall as you. Roxas is now captain of a crew".
"Hayner" said a gentle voice.
Hayner turn around.
"Olette, what are you doing here?" Hayner ask.
"I forgot to bring Namine some food" Olette replied, "what are you doing here?"
"I came here to think" Hayner replied.
"Hayner, I'm sorry but I have to go home" Olette said, "for Namine's sake. She's been hurt".
"I know how Namine feels. Hurt. I have no friend. No home" Hayner said.
"Why don't you come with us?" Olette ask.
"I'm sorry, but I can't" Hayner said.
"Why?"Olette ask.
"I promise an old friend to take care of someone" Hayner replied.
"Is that someone Roxas?" Olette ask.
"Yes" Hayner replied.
"Well you gotta do what you gotta do" Olette said, "see you later". She grab some food and left the kitchen.
Hayner look back at the wall.
"Hayner, my boy, go to her. Don't lose her" said a voice.
Hayner look around. Nobody was there.
"Turner?"
He left the room and head toward the girl's room.
