This is the last Titanic chapter so after this it goes back to the Hollywood Arts school so if you didn't like the Titanic chapters then sorry but I hope it doesn't stop you from reading. lol
Two days had past and they were a day away from Alaska little did they know that this water was perfect ice berg whether for it was in the middle of December. "Jade we need to talk," Beck grabbed her hands and walked into the smoking room.
"Is something bothering you?" she asked getting a little concerned. Beck nodded without saying a word.
Tori and Cat where at the front of the ship sitting in the first class washroom. They got bored and walked to the bow. "So why don't you ask him?" Cat asked holding onto her friends arm. The moon shone brightly in the girls eyes.
"I can't it would make her even more wicked," Tori responded.
"But you love him, he needs to know," Cat replied fixing her hat.
"Your right Cat," Tori smiled hugging the young girl and running off to find Beck. She found him sitting in the smoke room with André and Robbie.
"Tori, we need to talk," he said standing up. She escorted him to the outside deck and looked at him.
"Is something bothering you?"
"I broke up with Jade," he said looking in her eyes.
"What, why?" she asked as he grabbed her arms. Without answering he kissed her for as long as he could. Tori was hoping this wasn't a dream but soon found out when the back of her head hit a pole.
"You ok?" he rubbed her head as she nodded. Cat came running half out of breath with fear in her eyes. "What's wrong with you?" he laughed as Cat panted.
"Ice berg," she pointed to the bow.
"Impossible," he snarled as they heard three bells ring out. The men in the crow's nest began screaming about an ice berg. "Ok, maybe you were right," Beck said as the three of them became fearful. Tori ran forward but Beck grabbed her wrist.
"I'll be right back, just wait for me," she said as he let go trusting her every word. She ran down the deck and found the captain quickly walking toward the bridge. "Sir, what are we going to do?" she grabbed him briefly stopping him.
"Turn the boat portside," he responded.
"No, that will make everything just like the Titanic, if people panic we may end up like them," she snarled as she grabbed his coat.
"Sir, what do you want us to do?" someone called from the bridge door. He pointed to the port side and signed reverse.
"No, Captain this is a big mistake," Tori snapped as he looked away from her. She let out a sigh in anger and ran back to her friends. "Get everyone we don't have much time," she said as Beck kissed her forehead and ran in the smoke room. "Cat come with me, we will get Trina and Jade." The two girls ran down the cold deck looking in each lounge and reading room until they found Trina sitting in a corner bighting her nails.
"Trina, get to a lifeboat," Cat said as Trina looked up in devastation and fear for she had no TV and music for a few days.
"If you don't we will begin like the Titanic," Tori replied as Trina freaked running toward the boats waiting for something to happen. "Cat, find Jade, I need to see this," Tori hugged her friend before running back up the deck slamming into Beck. She sat on the floor as he helped her up. "Come, please," she said holding his hand as they both ran up to the bow. They looked at the ice berg approaching and how the ship was slowly turning.
"See you got worked up over nothing," Beck turned Tori around and looked at her. He began to kiss her making her melt in his arms when a loud shutter shifted them off balance. Tori ran to the edge of the ship and watched the massive ice berg pass them. Beck placed his body weight over her so she would not fall. She looked down the edge and saw water splashing up. "LOOK OUT!" Beck screamed over the shriek. Tori lifted off the ground and was pulled away as ice came crashing down on the spot she just stood on. The shuttering stopped and they watched the rest of the berg travel by.
"Beck this isn't good, I fear the worst," she said as he pulled her in, she began crying in his chest. She let him go and they walked down the deck holding each other's hand. Each breath Tori let out a cloud of smoke would form. A man came running up to them.
"Sir, madam get your lifebelts on," he said handing them two life vests. He began going in each 1st class lounges and began handing the life belts out. He came out and Tori ran toward him.
"Sir, sir how bad is the damage?" she asked as he shook his head.
"Madame I am sure that it isn't that bad just precaution," he answered as he walked away.
"Of course the crew is in the dark. We…" Tori froze and Beck grabbed her shoulders.
"What's wrong?"
"If these have water tight compartments like the Titanic then the boiler room must be filled by now," she answered running for a stairwell.
"Tori, no," Beck ran after her. They ran down the stairs and down until they got to the 'E' deck and found puddles of water.
"I told you, this ship is identical to the Titanic, the Britannia was built the same way three years after," she said as they found a door for the crew, she opened it and found men covered in coal rush past them soaked to the bone, Tori could feel the death chill of the water reek off them.
"See you were right, now let us go back on deck," Beck said in fear as he grabbed her hand. They ran up the stairs but was stopped by a crowd of third class members trying to push their way up the stairs that was blocked by a closed gate. "Open this door," Beck yelled at the man who stood their doing nothing. He reached his hand out of the gate and pulled the man up to it. "You open this gate right now or I pull you through like a cheese grate," he snarled as the man shivered pulling the keys out. Beck held tightly onto the hand of feared Tori. The gate opened and the two 1st class passengers as well the 3rd ran up the stairs and into the deck.
"Women and children first," a man called walking up and down, on deck there was no fear, no one cared, the first class passengers wondered around like ghosts talking and drinking. Third class women and children ran to the boats and were escorted in, Children screamed and cried as they were separated from their fathers. Tori grabbed Jade's drink and placed it on the banister and saw the drink had a light tilt.
"We need to get people in, and I am not getting in without you," Tori looked in Beck's eyes. Beck walked Tori over to the boat, Cat, Trina, and Jade got in. A man grabbed Tori's arm and began pulling her away from Beck.
"Women and children first, come madam," he said as Tori began crying seeing her one love being ripped from her. She broke free and tears pouring from her face she kissed him. "Please get in," he pulled her harder.
"Tori, they will be fine just get in," Cat replied as she looked to see the man she kissed the day before waving to her. She stood up and began to get off the lifeboat. "Markus," she screamed reaching for him.
"Ma'am, sit down," a man pushed her back, Cat lost her balance and fell off the back of the lifeboat screaming at the top of her lungs holding onto the side. Jade and Trina leaned over the side pulling her up. She got up and Jade held onto her as she cried. The men finally broke Tori away and threw her in the boat. "Set her down," the man said as the boat began going down, as Cat began crying. Beck looked down in fear for they began placing more and more women and children in the boats. Tori stood up with tears in her eyes and she jumped to the deck one lower then Beck's.
"Tori, get back in," Trina screamed reaching for her sister. Tori turned and ran for the stairs to find Beck looking angry, but relieved she didn't leave him.
"Why would you do that?" he asked as she began kissing him.
"I couldn't leave you," she smiled as he held her in his arms. "I told you I am only getting in a boat if you are with me," she added as Robbie and André joined them. "André, Robbie wait for us in the smoking room, I know this ship has collapsible boats if we miss the main we will get one of those just make sure this is enough room for us, we will be right back," Tori said grabbing Beck's hand as they ran down the hall and found a stairwell, she began running down when she no longer felt Beck's hand she turned around. "Beck please, we must check," she said as he sighed and ran down the stairs, they came down and found the entire 'E' deck up to their knees.
"Tori, it's cold," Beck complained as a chill went up his spine. She walked up and down the halls going closer to the bow the water rose higher and higher. Tori finally picked up that the rooms were empty and they ran the other direction and found many people waiting for another gate. "People there is an open gate this way," Beck called holding onto Tori and began running with people following them. They climbed the stairwell and found the water was getting to deep. They found it and the entire third class began filling up the stairs.
"Beck, Tori this way," André called from a lifeboat, they ran for it but a man in a uniform stopped them.
"This boat is filled," he said as Beck and Tori walked around him, but he stopped them by pulling his gun out. "I said it was full. Now lower the boat," he turned to his fellow workmen and the ship began dropping. An hour passed and the ship was getting closer to its peak. People began screaming and running for the lifeboats at the stern. The boats were now leaving as if the boat was on fire.
"Beck, if we don't find an open seat we are doomed," she looked at him as people screamed falling off the side of the ship, families being ripped apart, and people just panicking.
"Where's the captain?" someone asked as Tori turned to the men talking.
"He locked himself in the bridge." Tori wasn't going to let him die like E.J. Smith did and so she ran toward the bow against the current of screaming people. But Beck knew what she was doing and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into the closest lifeboat and they finally were set down. A man grabbed Beck's collar and began pulling him out when Tori pushed him away.
"Leave him alone," she said as he backed away. Tori threw her body in Beck's arms as the small boat took them back a float. The crew began paddling the small boat away from the massive steamer and that's when Tori saw how bad the angle was and she knew it was doomed. A few moments passed and the lights went out leaving everyone screaming on the ship and people in the lifeboats in the dark.
A sound of crushing steal came next and the ship was soon split in two the back crashed to the ocean and then soon came back up at a ninety degree angle. The back began copying the Titanic with the cork bob and then began sinking, People began jumping and hanging on the edge. Tori dug her face into Beck's chest.
A few weeks had past after that horrible day and Tori finally pulled herself from her bed. Trina sat at the table eating breakfast just as zombie like as Tori. "At least we go back to school today," she sighed as Tori nodded depressed not thinking about much except that night.
