Sail Into My Heart- Chapter 10- Part 2
Ultimate sadness overwhelmed my mind, how could they go?
"How could they have gone without me Axel? If they cared about me they'd have sent out a search party for me, and found me by now…but they left." I sobbed; walking into the room for any sense of life.
"Roxas, they abandoned you. Surely you're not surprised that they left?" Axel murmured. I looked at him shocked; it was like he was saying that I wasn't worth anything.
"What?" I whispered "Are you, are you saying that I'm not worth them waiting? I'm-I'm a waste of s-space?"
"No, of course not Rox! I'm just say-"
"Don't bother Axel. If that's what you think, then I'd suppose that I should go die alone then, huh? Or am I too worthless to deserve that?" I hissed, running off while rubbing the tears away from my eyes before they had a chance to create a river on my face.
"Roxas, come back please!" I heard Axel shout, I heard his heavy steps behind me as I run. Axel was faster than me, so I couldn't run forever. Instead I ran for the lift, pushing past the lift attendant and closing the metal shutter.
"E deck, now!" I ordered, the lift attendant knew that he shouldn't do this, but the screaming redhead on the other side of the shutters forced him to pull the lever.
"What are you doing Roxas?" Axel shouted, looking at me as the lift descended.
"Getting ready to die!" I shouted. My palms were shaking vigorously due to my fear of water ever since that time when I fell in the icy water, but I forced myself to do this. Besides, no-one else thought better of me anyway.
I soon felt the freezing cold water that was already up to my knees, I screamed at the temperature; the memories flooded in faster than the water. I opened the metal shutters and ran out anyway; the lift attendant screamed at me to come back up, I walked off instead, unsurprised to see the lift go up. I looked at the water, it was filling up quickly, and there was still a door that was holding water back. This corridor is already finished with the amount of water it already had, but the tonnes of water behind the door would destroy the corridor- breaking doors and walls. Then an idea struck me, if I open that door, I'll die quicker. I'd rather die now, than later.
I walked over to the ready-to-burst doors and held the handle.
"Roxas!" Axel shouted. I turned round to see Axel behind me, staring me in the face. "What on earth do you think you are doing? Do you want to get killed?"
"It's what everyone wants isn't it?" I sob, letting go of the handle.
"Roxas, you need to let me explain before going off on one. The thing I was going to say was that your mum told you that you were no longer part of them, and your mother even said goodbye. Isn't that enough for you to understand why they weren't there when we looked for them?" Axel explained, taking my hand and holding it to his cheek. I nodded solemnly, but stroked his cheek all the same.
"Besides, we've got each other, that's all we need hm?" Axel smiled, kissing my palm. I nodded again, but more hopeful this time. "Now let's go, before that door explodes from all that water"
I was about to walk off until I heard a creaking noise from behind me…the door was about to break. Axel saw my worried expression and held my arm, running and pulling me away. It was only seconds until the water pushed through.
*CRASH*
I was engulfed by water; I was choking and was being held under by a hard object. Hang on, this was the ceiling! I wouldn't be able to get air, or get out. I decided to let death take me, but Axel wasn't going to let me go, not yet. He tugged on my shirt and swam for our lives so we could take another breath of fresh air. He succeeded, allowing me to breathe and to cough up the water I breathed in when I was choking in the water.
"Come on Roxas we need to before the water gets any higher" Axel told me, tugging at my arm. I got up and ran with him up a few flights of stairs that took me to the top deck to see a horrific scene. The last life-boat was being pulled to pieces by the waves of the Sea, me and Axel were on our own now, and we had to fend for ourselves. The ship was starting to tilt, which worried me a lot.
"Axel, what are we going to do?" I asked, cuddling up to him and hoping for a back-up plan.
"I don't know Roxas, but we're both going to get out of this alive. I promise you that Roxas, I promise you that." Axel kissed me on the lips, it was more of a longing kiss than a stupid, petty kiss. It was a kiss that we both knew was probably our last.
"You know what Roxas, despite what's happening now, spending all this time with you has been worth it, you are the most amazing person that I have ever met, and no matter what happens tonight, you need to promise me that you'll still be the incredible person you already are" Axel smiled wearily, holding onto my hand and pressing it to his heart.
"I promise you Axel" I said, letting a tear roll down my cheek to be wiped by Axel. He kissed my hand and started pulling me up the scarily tilting Ship.
"Where are we going now?" I asked, gripping tightly.
"We're gonna go up to the top and rest on the railings, we need to stay on here for as long as possible." Axel told me, hauling me up and through the crowds of people who were scrambling for dear life. I couldn't help but notice my surroundings at that point, the atmosphere smelt icy, and cold, but the people told another story, they made the atmosphere chaotic and scary.
Once we reached the railings, Axel pushed me on top of the railings. It was hard to do, considering the amount of people who were holding on to survive, but I managed to get onto it and finally rest.
"Help me up Rox" Axel said loudly, I held onto his hand and tried to pull him up, but he slipped on the railing. I was extremely alarmed and worried, as the boat was 90° in the air now.
"AXEL!" I screamed, "Don't you dare let go, I'll get you up." I tried pulling him up, but my attempts almost looked pathetic. How could I have let him down after he's got me this far?
"Roxas, it's no use. Just listen, this is my last request from you, okay?" Axel shut his eyes and swallowed. I noticed his features now, his teeth, his faint dimple and his perfect eyes. "Never give up, if life gets tough, just keep going and know that you are always going to get through it. You are going to go on, and live a good life full of happiness and whatever makes your heart content. Promise me you will never, ever give up."
"Yes, Axel. I promise, but come on, let me get you up." I cried, trying to haul Axel up.
"Roxas don't worry about me anymore. We will meet again one day you'll see, and don't forget. I love you." Axel's grip loosened, and he fell, just like that.
"AXEL!" I shouted, holding out a hand as if he could still grab it. I was on my own now.
The boat started to sink, but it didn't seem to be visible anymore as a question ploughed my brain. Was there any point in going on? I didn't have anyone to live for now, so I just shut my eyes and let Titanic sink.
Hang on, I promised Axel that I'd never give up, and he promised me that we'll meet again. I just need to make it so I can see him again. I took a deep breath as the tip of the boat sunk and held it as I was underwater. The coldness was paralyzing, but I carried on swimming and swam for air. I took a deep breath as I reached the surface and swam for a piece of debris. I found a deckchair and rested my head on arms, waiting for a life-boat.
