9:00pm

Violet and I were tierd out, danced out and sung out so we headed to our cabins, wich were in the north part of the ship. I put Violet into bed by nine fourty five pm. I dont remember mother comming into the room to kiss me good night.
Then it happened, a knock on the door then a "madam may you please open this door?" Asked one of the staff. "Please dress warmly, put on a life vest and head out to the top deck. A boat has your name on it. We are sinking." That was around 1:25am. Rubbing the exhaustion from my eyes I slowly woke up Violet and got her dressed. but not in a elegant gown. I gave her warm velvet pants with a silver trim and fur inside. A fancy top that was as well warm. "Jenna I'm ready and really scared." Jenna whispered into my ear. We left around 2:00am toward the deck but got held up because a little boy was crying in the corner. He was a second class but it was not right to leave him so we carried him with us. "Hr jeans float," are the three words he said that hour.
2:50am. A wave struck violet and the boy ( who we were calling Justin) off the boat as they were getting on the boat. I died in afterward because no way was I leaving the two of them alone in the ocean.
        "Everyone here?" I shouted trying to find the little ones. And they were right in front of me. Violet knew how to swim and so did Justin. But I knew that no matter what we could never swim to land or swim forever. Then my instincts kicked in. Making a raft out of the jeans I told the little ones that they can float on them for hours. "Take your clothes off but leave on your underwear and top but fold the rest and hold them." I told the little ones. "Mother and father taught me to never take any clothing off unless I am in a private room." But soon enough he followed my instructions.

        We floated for a while and then Violet got hungry. We stopped paddleing and I took my soaked sack and fed them the last half of bread we were going to eat and the other half would bring us food.
