Here's the continuation. : D

Chapter 7

Last Time:

"Andrews!" Abby calls. Andrews turns around and gasps.

"Abby! What are you doing here?" Abby lets her tears to fall.

"Cal and Blue kidnapped me" Abby sobs. Andrews narrows his eyes and pulls Abby into a hug.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Now is the time for me to get you on a boat before it's too late" Andrews tells her.

Now:

Abby and Andrews runs up to the stern, looking for lifeboats... none. Andrews looks at Abby, knowing exactly who she is.

"Abby, you have your whole life ahead of you" Abby turns to Andrews, scared, "I will make sure you will survive this. I will give up my life to save you" Abby begins to cry as Andrews pull her to him. They feel the ship tip more. Andrews pulls Abby with him up to the end of the ship. He climbs over the rail and pulls Abby over.

Once over, Andrews makes sure Abby is in front of him, to make sure she doesn't fall over. They both hold tightly onto the rail as they watch the ship stand straight up. The ship holds there for a minutes before slowly sinking. The ship starts to get closer to the water.

"Abby, when I tell you, hold your breath" Andrews tells Abby. Abby nods. Abby and Andrews holds each other hand tightly and both stand up, "now!" they both take a deep breath as the water washes over them. Abby and Andrew quickly swims to the surface as the ship goes to the bottom of the ocean.

As they break the surface, they quickly swim to a door, which was taken off from the sky deck. Andrews lifts Abby on top, before lifting himself on. They sit there side by side, holding each other to stay warm.

~B&A~

Blondie is sitting in the lifeboat listening to people scream. Their lifeboat is mostly empty. There is only Rose's mom, Molly, Jack, Rose, Blondie, and a ship worker.

"We have to go back for Abby" Blondie tells Molly. Molly nods.

"I know" Molly kisses Blondie's cheek, "turn back to save those people!" the man turns around shaking his head.

"No. Now sit down and shut up, for I'll shoot you" the man pulls out a gun. Molly shuts up as she rolls her eyes. She sits down once, more and holds Blondie to her. When the man turns around, Molly quietly stands up and pushes the guy into the ice cold ocean. Jack and Molly each grab a paddle and they turn the boat around. They begin their journey back to the scene where the Titanic sank.

~A&B~

Abby shivers and her teeth chatter. Andrews has fallen asleep more than a half hour ago. Abby knows he is dead, just by him not moving or shivering. Plus he isn't breathing. Abby slips out of his frozen grip and slips him off of the door.

"Thank you for saving my life Andrews. I will remember you forever" Abby kisses his hands before letting him go to the bottom of the ocean.

Another half hour passes and everything has gone silent. Abby holds her knees to her chest and rests her head on her knees. She tries to calm her fast beating heart. Abby hears movement in the water, and she looks up. There in the water is someone swimming toward her. Abby remembered seeing the clock on the fireplace before she and Andrews went to the stern of the ship. The clock read 2:20am.

Abby hears the person come closer and their breathing pick up. Right then, the person grabs the door, pulling themselves up.

"Stop! Before you tip us over" Abby tells them. The person stops as Abby looks at them after grabbing the side of the door. There is... Blue Jones.

"Nice to see you Alexis" Blue smiles wickedly. Before anyone could react, Abby jumps into the water and swims away into the night. Abby sees a desk floating in the water. She climbs on top of it and feels her tears freeze from the cold breeze blowing through her hair. Her hair is frozen together. She just hopes that help arrives soon, before she becomes a live popsicle.

3:30am has arrived and Abby is shivering wildly.

"IS ANYONE ALIVE OUT THERE?" Abby hears a familiar voice call out, "ABBY! ABBY WHERE ARE YOU?" Abby sees a whistle in the open drawer of the desk. She pulls it out and puts it to her lips. She blows into it, listening for it to ring out. She sees a light land on her as she keeps blowing.

"THERE SHE IS!" Abby hears Rose tell her family. The boat turns to her direction and come toward her.

"Not so fast" Abby turns around in time for her to be pushed into the water by... Cal.

~B&A~

Blondie watches in horror as Cal push Abby into the water. Blondie watches Abby struggle to get to the surface. Blondie stands up and jumps into the water. It feels like you are being hit with a thousand knives. Blondie decides. Blondie swims over to Abby and grabs her hand. Blondie helps Abby to the surface and keeps her arm wrapped around her. Blondie hears Abby cough as they swim to the boat. Jack grabs Abby by the arms and lifts her up. Molly and Rose grab Blondie and lift her up before Cal could grab her. They quickly start to paddle before Cal could jump to grab the side of the boat.

Blondie watches as Rose's mom wraps a blanket around Abby than her. Blondie holds it to her and crawls to Abby. Abby is being held by Molly, who has her coat zipped up with Abby on her lap. Abby's head is buried inside the coat, trying to get warm. Rose wraps her arms around Blondie and does the same thing Molly is doing.

"Trying to get you warm" Rose whispers to Blondie. Blondie nods and rests her head on Rose's shoulder. Jack wraps his arms around Rose and Blondie, warming them up.

"Thank you" Blondie hears Abby faintly.

"I love you Abby. I will never let you get hurt" Blondie tells her.

"I love you too" Abby whispers as her teeth chatter.

"Focus getting warm Abs" Molly tells Abby as she helps rose's mom paddle. Abby nods and closes her eyes, hoping that she will open them again, but she is so tired.

~A&B~

Rocket, Sweet Pea, Amber and Baby Doll are rushing around trying to get the Lennox House cleaned up for Blue's arrival. None of the girls have met Blue at all. Gorski walks over to the girls who are all cleaning up their bedroom for the two new girls. They all look up to see Gorski crying. The day is April 15th. Right now, would be the time that the ship would be in New York.

"The Titanic sank. It hit an iceberg" Gorski tells them sobbing.

"How many died?" Amber asks.

"Around 1,517. But that is just an estimate"

"How many survived?"

"Around 706" Amber bites her lip to keep from gasping. Gorski walks away, leaving the girls to talk.

~B&A~

Abby opens her eyes to see the name "Carpathia" on the side of a boat. Abby groans and rubs her eyes.

"It's 8:30am sweetie. We are the last boat to be picked up" Abby hears Molly tell her as she rubs her back. Abby looks at Molly and closes her eyes again, "I'll carry you so you can sleep" Abby nods as Molly zips up the zipper more after moving Abby's hairs away from the front of the coat.

"Is her ok?" Blondie asks. Molly nods at Blondie with a smile.

"She's just tired" Blondie smiles, "You saved her life sweetie"

"I love you" Blondie says easily. Molly smiles at the young girl and nods.

"I know you do" Molly feels Abby move in her arms as the boat arrives to the small dock that the ship has out with ship stewards waiting. As the stewards pull the boat to the dock, they hold it in place allowing everyone to climb out. Molly lifts Abby up and steps out last. Molly puts Abby down, and wakes her up, "sweetie, I need you to wake up" Abby nods as Molly unzips her coat. She takes it off and zips it up again, but it's on Abby. Molly picks Abby up and carries her bridal style through a door that is open. Before they started to walk Abby saw a young boy with a name tag. The tag said "Joseph Jr". She recognized the boy and the name... but where?

~A&B~

"Molly, how many survived?" Abby asks a day later after the sinking. It's April 16th, and Abby has a cold. Abby ate a lot of hot soup, had hot chocolate and had hot showers.

"710 survived and 1514 died" Molly answers.

"How many were on the ship?" Blondie asks.

"2224" Jack answers this question.

"32% survived and 68% died" Rose concluded.

"Do you think Cal and Blue survived?" Blondie asks in a whisper.

"I dunno what happened at all, but I ran into Blue after Andrews saved me. He swam to the door I was sitting on, but I swam away. Then on the desk is where Cal pushed me" Abby tells them, "but I think they died... hopefully" Molly chuckles and nods.

"I agree" everyone nods in agreement. Blondie pulls Abby to her and hugs her.

"The song you wrote was amazing. Could you sing it?" Abby grins and nods.

"Ok" Abby takes a breath and begins to sing.

She dropped the phone and burst into tears
The doctor just confirmed her fears
Her husband held it and held her tight
Cancer don't discriminate or care if you're just 38
With three kids who need you in their lives
He said, "I know that you're afraid and I am, too
But you'll never be alone, I promise you"

Abby begins to sing stronger.

When you're weak, I'll be strong
When you let go, I'll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I'll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can't take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I'm gonna love you through it

Abby grabs Blondie's hand and stares at her.

She made it through the surgery fine
They said they caught it just in time
But they had to take more than they planned
Now it's forced smiles and baggy shirts
To hide what the cancer took from her
But she just wants to feel like a woman again
She said, "I don't think I can do this anymore"
He took her in his arms and said "That's what my love is for"

Abby looks at her cousin, aunt, best friend and girlfriend. This is her family.

Abby grins at her family, telling them that they are the ones that support her and will always be in her heart, mind and life.

And when this road gets too long
I'll be the rock you lean on
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I'm gonna love you through it.
I'm gonna love you through it

Molly, Rose, Jack and Blondie hug Abby as she stares to cry. The song is what Abby wrote from her heart and about her family. She lost her sister to cancer. Her brother almost died from it as well. Her mom had cancer before Abby was born. Abby wasn't even supposed to survive through the birth and the first night. Abby's mom had stomach cancer, her brother had brain cancer, and her sister had lung cancer. As for Abby, her cancer was in her heart. It spread to her lungs, but the doctors stopped it. Her uncle, Molly's husband gave Abby his heart when she was 13. That is why she has surgery. Her uncle was already dying from smoking, so he gave his heart to Abby.

Molly kisses Abby hair, before pulling away. The others soon followed and Blondie kisses her girlfriend on the lips gently. Abby rests her head on Blondie's shoulder.

And that's the chapter. What do you think? Please review.
