Louise and Gene continued to play into the beautiful yellow sun was becoming orange.
They soon began to walk back to the room. When they walked in Linda, Bob, Tina were lying in their beds. Bob and Linda together in one. They weren't asleep, just lying down. Tina was on her phone, which was the first thing that caught Louise's eye.
"Hey! I thought you said no phone!" Louise barked.
"I did, no phone for you," Linda answered.
"What?!" Louise raised her voice.
"Louise I need my phone for school or if Jimmy Jr texts me, but mainly the school thing," Tina explained.
"Ugh that's so unfair!"
"Louise, Tina isn't a phone addict like you, so she can have her's," Linda told her.
"Can you guys shut up?!" Bob snapped. "It's been a long day, your mother made us walk around this whole ship!"
"Sorry Dad," Tina said.
"Thank you, Tina."
"Mom, this is still unfair!" Louise hissed.
Linda hopped off the bed, standing right in front of her upset daughter.
"You wanna know what's really unfair?!" Linda's voice was getting higher.
"Uh oh," Bob groaned as he realized there was going to be a fight.
Gene quickly jumped to his bed, under Bob's.
"Everything in my life!" Louise yelled.
"No, because you are so ungrateful! I and your father work our asses off to keep a roof over your head-"
"You mean a leaking roof!" Louise cut her off.
"You still got a roof! Guess where we are! We're on a freaking cruise ship! Most people would be thankful!"
"I don't want to be here!"
"For parents who will do everything for you, you act like someone who has nothing! You need to stay off that phone and open your damn eyes, look around you have everything u need! Do you know how hard we work? The restaurant is struggling. We are two steps from living with your grandparents at the sex crazy retirement home, but I thought that the family has been stressed, so I luckily won these tickets, so things could be worst!" Linda yelled.
"Linda!" Bob yelled. "Why did you tell them about that?!"
Everyone in the small room was shocked by what Linda said. Now the kids knew and every room around them.
"Dad is that true?" Louise asked worried.
"Yeah, is the restaurant in trouble?" Tina asked.
Bob nod.
The kids gasped.
Louise looked at her family's hurt faces. She didn't even think about her next move, she instantly ran out the room, running down the white hallways. She couldn't look at their sad faces. Louise couldn't handle emotions well, the only emotion she understood and liked was hate. She didn't understand pain or sadness, and she wasn't trying to. She ran all the way to the decks. Tearing were unwillingly falling from her face. She didn't know why she crying.
Was it her family's new money problem? No, they were strangers to problems with the world's best friend, money. Was it Linda's yelling? No, they fought every day. Then why? This trouble was different than any other. This trouble she did not cause. This trouble did not make her happy. But that's not why she's crying. It's because she wasn't the only one. Everyone she loved was sad, one loved one sad hurts, but all is worst.
Louise ran past the very few people still up and out to the back of the boat. There she was alone.
"Stop it!" she snapped at herself, holding on tight to the white metal railing bar. She felt the cold wind give her tear stains. Louise looked around at her surroundings, making sure no one would see her cry. "Louise don't you cry, crying is for the weak! You are not weak!" Louise put her feet on the first bar of the railing, looking down at the ocean. She suddenly got an idea, that to some would call stupid or crazy, but to her was a way to prove herself. To herself.
Louise did the most dangerous thing in the ten seconds from only two second of thinking it through. She quickly and loosely climbed onto of the railing, sitting onto, shaking. Not of fear, but the cold air pushing her and the unsteadiness of her situation. The rest of her plan was to jump off and swim home. Jumping was more than bravery, it was crazy. Swimming home was just the extra.
Now fear was coming to visit as Louise held back from jumping. She mentally counted to ten, again and again.
"You can do this," she whispered.
Soon the wind hitting her face took over her. Her only thought became jump. She felt the wind grabbing her. Louise was basically high… On the wind. She closed her eyes, letting go off the railing bar slowly.
"Louise!" she heard someone say, bringing her back to reality. She gripped the railing tightly not daring to turn around.
She heard footsteps coming closer.
Louise quickly spoke before the unknown could speak again.
"Go away!" she hissed.
Louise quickly turned to see who the unknown was.
Logan.
"Just go away," Louise hissed again.
Logan quickly took off his black suit jacket and threw it on the ground. He took a step closer.
"I'll jump, I mean it," Louise said, with tears still flowing from her eyes.
Logan came closer, finally speaking.
"No you won't."
Louise was puzzled.
"I will, you don't know me."
"Yes, I do you know. Louise Belcher," he said looking as serious as she's ever seen from a face.
"You knew the little Louise, I'm an adult and I'll do it."
"Well, if you were going to do it, you would've done it."
"You distracted me, but I'll do it. I tell you that. Now go away!"
"I can't."
"Yes, you can now go!"
"I can't, I saw this. I can't walk away. Let you kill yourself."
"This has nothing to do with you!"
"But it does," Logan took a step closer.
"Just go away!" Louise snapped again.
Logan sighed.
"I didn't want to do this."
"Do what?" Louise asked confused.
Logan began to take off his black polished dress shoes.
"What? What are you doing?" She almost lost her balance on the bar, but quickly grabbed it tight again.
"I 'ma have to jump in after you."
"What?"
"I'm a good swimmer."
"Doesn't matter, the fall alone can kill you."
"It'll hurt, but the fall doesn't worry me. The cold water, gosh. But if I have to…"
"How cold is it?" Louise asked.
"Freezing."
"I'll be fine."
"I don't know… Water that cold, it's like getting stabbed a million times."
Louise looked down at the water, rethinking her idea to jump.
"All you'll think about is the pain, the ice cold water stabbing you. You'll forget everything else," Logan continued.
"I don't care!' Louise said nervously.
"Thought you'd say that," Logan sighed. "I'm not looking forward to jumping after you, but doesn't seem like I have any choice."
Louise looked back at him, nervous to jump, holding on the railing so tight it was pinking her palms.
"That's why I'm hoping you'll come back to the other side, give me a break?"
Louise was so distracted by his words, she didn't even notice that he was coming closer and closer. She slowly put her feet on the last bar, standing now.
Louise stopped herself from turning to him.
"Stop it!"
"Stop what?"
"Go away! You're insane!"
"That may be true, but guess what?"
Louise turned her head to him.
"I'm not the hanging on the back of a ship."
Louise really thought about his words. She was crazy, not doubt there, but she wasn't trying to kill herself, just get home. All the facts he gave her, weren't on her side of survival.
"Come on, give me your hand," he reached out for her.
Louise hesitated before slowly with her right hand, grabbing his. She held his hand tight as she slowly turned around to him on the railing.
Logan grabbed her over hand as soon as she was fully facing him. Their eyes meeting each other, the shine of the night sky in both of their eyes.
It was the perfect moment, Logan smiling at Louise, who was still fearfully, but was feeling a little safer with Logan holding her. She lifting her right leg to climb over the railing, but she missed the bar and slipped. Logan lost grip for less than a second, but quickly grabbed her back.
Louise started screaming at the top of her lungs, which everyone on the decks, and maybe some in their room, heard. Some of the crew started running towards the scream.
Logan was pulling her up as the footsteps were coming closer.
"Come on, pull yourself up, you can do it," Logan yelled as he pulled.
She lost grip of one of his hands and grabbed the bar, pulling herself up.
"I got 'ca," Logan said pulling her up.
As soon as she was back on the bar, he grabbed her waist tight, pulling her over the railing. Logan, taking the steps back, lost his balance with her in his arms, making them fall. Logan on top of her, his lips inches away from her's. The loud footsteps were getting louder and closer until they all stopped.
"Hey!" A man apart of the crew yelled, standing by the fallen pair.
The sound of the man made Logan jump. Louise was still in shock. He began to get off of her, but the three men were already there.
"What the hell are you do?!" One man yelled at him.
Logan innocently put his hands up.
The men looked up and down at him. His jacket thrown and shoes off caught their eyes.
"What were you doing to her?" Another man asked.
Logan wasn't dumb, he knew what they meant and to be honest if he was in the shoes, or any, he would thought the same thing.
"Nothing," Logan quickly answered nervously.
One of the three men helped Louise to her feet. She was still in shock from the near death experience.
"Was he hurting you?" They asked her.
Louise didn't answer, she just stood there, frozen.
That was good enough for them.
The biggest man, rushed up to Logan, grabbing his collar, ready to punch him.
"Stop!"
The man turned back.
It wasn't Louise.
It was a skinny older man in a suit running towards them.
Logan recognized who he was. Lester Fletcher, Sullivan's butler.
He ran to the group.
"Stop! Do you know who this is?!" He yelled.
The man who was seconds away from punching Logan off the ship, stopped.
"This is Logan Bush!"
The man quickly let go of Logan and backed up.
"I'm so very sorry sir," the man said standing tall, looking up at the sky, to Logan.
Lester fixed Logan's shirt for him.
"You should be ashamed of yourself," Lester hissed at the man.
"I didn't know, the lady screamed and we came. I'm again so sorry for my horrible actions."
Lester looked back at Louise, then to Logan.
"Who is this?" he asked sternly to Logan.
"She was going to-" Louise quickly cut him off.
"I almost fell! I was looking at the water too closely and I almost fell overboard, if it wasn't for him!" She quickly told the men. "He saved me."
Logan was surprised by the lie that came out her mouth.
"Is this true?" Lester asked him.
Louise pleaded with her eyes.
He didn't know why she lied about this, but she clearly wanted them not to know, so he didn't tell them.
Logan nod.
Louise gave a breath of relief.
"Well, look at this hero," Lester smiled.
Logan smiled back.
"We're sorry again sir," one man said. And two of the three left them. The other stayed with Louise.
"I should get her to her room," He said.
Louise didn't even look at Logan as she followed the man away.
As soon as they were alone, Lester spoke again.
"Miss Charlotte asked me to find you."
Logan nod.
"We're having a dinner with the captain, correct?" Logan asked.
"Yes sir, tomorrow night," Lester answered.
"Invite her."
"The girl?" he asked confused.
"Yes, her. Invite her, please."
"Ok, yes sir, now we should get you out the cold and back to Miss Charlotte, she's extremely worried."
Lester grabbed Logan's shoes and jacket and they walked back to his room.
