Chapter 2
-Fabrizio POV-
We all stare for a second, mouths open. We earn some weird looks but I don't care, I know we need to get off this ship quickly.
I take Helga's hand and pull her along, everyone quickly follows. Tommy, being very fast, gets in front of us and starts yelling at the guy to let us onto the lifeboat. It's empty and I can only see one woman besides Helga, Rose, and Mrs. Dahl, and she has two kids. I help her to the front, the officer quickly loads them onto the boat. A man helps his wife and two kids on there, and my heart breaks as he speaks to them, trying to comfort them.
"It's goodbye for a little while. Only for a little while. There'll be another boat for daddy but this boat is for all the mommies and children. Now you just hold mommy's hand and be good little girls." he says sadly, and I notice tears falling down his cheeks. I shove Helga gently forward toward the boat, bring Mrs. Dahl up, too. Mrs. Dahl gets into the boat, grabbing Mr. Dahl's hand. Helga stops and, like Rose, refuses to go without me.
"You go, I'll get another boat." I plead, she shakes her head.
"Nei. Not without you." she states, but Mr. Dahl points at the boat. She kisses me, still refusing and Mr. Dahl looks angrier than my mama did when I first started stealing things for food. I'm stunned, but the officer standing there can't see any other women besides Rose and Helga, so he smiles.
"Get on the boat, men! I need men!" he yells.
We would be alright.
-Helga POV-
The dad of the two girls jumps on, crying but laughing at the same time. I pull Fabrizio and pappa onto the boat, and Jack, Rose, and Tommy pile on as well. Some other men come on, and I recognize Ida and Isidor Straus get on together and I smile. They had been together... It seemed like forever. I hug Fabrizio close to me and his arm wraps around my shoulder as he leans into my ear.
"I told you I was lucky." he whispers, a smile spreading across his face as we're lowered into the water. "I want to know something, Helga..."
"Ja?" I ask, looking at him, smiling my sweetest smile.
"When we get to l'America, I want to be with you. I know I haven't known you long, but when we get to l'America..." he pauses and gets something from his pocket. It glints in the moonlight and my eyes widen as I realize what he's asking.
"Fabrizio..." Jack smirks, soon everyone is turned toward us, watching. I start blushing but he just tilts my chin to look into his eyes, holding up a small silver ring.
"Will you marry me?" he asks and I clap a hand over my mouth as I watch everyone around us smile.
"Ja! Ja! Tusen ganger ja! Jeg elsker deg! Jeg elsker deg så mye!" I scream as he slides the ring onto my finger. "Hvordan fikk du ha en ring med deg?" I ask, he tilts his head. " Sorry, how did you have the ring?"
"It was my mama's, she gave it to me for when I find the girl for me. It's you!" he says, making me blush. "I also have something I want to do, but it has to be a secret. When bigger boat picks us up, I'll tell you." he whispers, making me giggle. I lay my head on his shoulder, staring at the stars.
This was a night I would remember forever.
