After CJ passed out Austin left to go and check out the shopping center inside the ship. I really wanted to go but what if he woke up?
"Want to come?" He asked.
"Yes but what if he wakes up?" I asked.
"Oh right. Better stay with him then." He said before walking out of the door.
I blew a strand of my messy hair out of my face only for it to fall back in its original place.
You know what? Who cares if he wakes up dying or whatever. It seems like he has a tempature so why don't I just cool him off? *evil smile*
I grabbed a bucket and ran outside to put sea water in it. I walked inside and looked at him.
His hair hung in damp curls over his forehead his lips where slightly parted and he looked so well peaceful. I lifted the bucket of freezing cold water.
Whoosh! I flung it all over him.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" He shouted jumping out of the bed.
I fell on the floor dying of laughter.
"I-I'm going to k-k-kill you" he chattered. I stood up and smiled.
His hair was instead of curly was now straighten and hanging way over his eyes. His shirt now that it was wet was clinging to his stomach exposing his abs and biceps and aggggggh.
I shuddered.
"Go change" I ordered pointing to the bathroom.
He rolled his eyes I think and walked into the bathroom pulling his luggage with him.
After 15 minuets he came out wearing a black leather jacket and gray skinny jeans.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Swimming in the pool" he said slinging a towel over his shoulders.
"Dressed like that?" I asked skeptically.
"My swimming shorts are under my jeans." He said heading toward the door. I hesitated.
"Wait" I said.
"What??" He whined looking over at the door and then me.
"I'm coming with you" I said grabbing my luggage and heading toward the bathroom. I didn't expect him to wait.
But sure enough as I came out of the bathroom there he was pacing and looking worried.
"What?" I asked.
"You didn't feel the boat lurch and hear the announcement" he asked.
Before I could reply I heard frantic knocking on the door.
"Guys hurry lets go!" Austin said racing down the hall. CJ and him both had the same fear stricken looks on their face.
"Come in quickly we have no time to loose" he shouted grabbing me by the wrist and tugging me along after Austin.
"WHATS GOING ON!" I shouted ya king my hand out of CJS grip.
"The ship is sinking! We have to get out to the deck!" CJ shouted grabbing my hand again.
We ran and ran turning halls and tearing after Austin.
"Do you know where we are going" CJ asked panting. T
"Yes it's just a little further" there was an edge of fear in his voice. We finally burst through the cool air.
People where shouting and screaming and grabbing their children. Others where fighting and shoving there way through the crowd. CJ scanned the area for an available life boat. I could see fear glittered in his eyes.
"Over there come on!" Austin shouted pulling me along with him. Cj quickly followed.
We stepped into the boat. It swayed and we held our breath until steady.
"I will steer this" CJ said pulling out a pocket knife and cutting the cord that attached us to the ship.
"YOU IDOT!" Austin and I screamed at the same time. But it was too late.
The boat span out of proportion knocking us around. Around at one point I almost fell off. But I felt Austin grab my hand.
We slammed into the boat.
I heard a scream and it took me a minuet to realize it was me screaming we hurled farther and farther away from the sinking shim and screaming people.
The boat flew into the sky and pop.
CJS POV
it took me a minuet to figure out what was happening. I opened my eyes as we began to hurtle towards the freezing unsympathetic sea.
"Agh!" I screamed as we inched toward it at the speed of light. Talaya was screaming and so was Austin and I began to scream too. The cold water hit me like a bullet. I screamed underwater. It was so cold.
I tried to swim up but the water wouldn't let me go. I began to sink to the bottom. I could see Austin struggling as well but at least he was floating to the top. At this point my lungs were screaming for air and I was still sinking.
Well this is how I die. I'm sorry for kicking you the other day little sister. And I'm sorry for making fun of you when you got your ears pierced and you where crying.
I was about to give up and just take a breath of the water and get it over with when it occurred to me. It was the leather jacket. I struggled to tear it off knowing I didn't have much time till my body forced me to take a breath. After what seemed like an agonizing eternity I was able to get it off. I swam as fast as I could my legs and my lungs burning. I could see my vision getting blurry. I burst into the surface of the water coughing and gasping for breath. I couldn't see anything because once again my stupid hair was hung over my eyes. I quickly smoothed it out.
"TALAYA AUSTIN" I shouted before gaging and coughing again. I struggled to tred water because I could feel the current trying to drag me down again.
Splash!
Austin burst at the surface looking worried. My heart flooded with relief.
"Oh Austin where's Talaya?" I asked.
"I can't find her!" He shouted plunging into the water once more. I quickly followed him swimming and looking around. Then I spotted her. She was laying limply all the way at the bottom her hair in her face and she was unconscious. I screamed for what seemed like the millionth time today.
I swam and quickly picked her up. I swam towards Austin who was frantically looking for her. I poked him and began to swim upward. I broke into the surface gasping for breath.
Talaya just layer in my arms limper then dead prey.
"T-Talaya" Austin stuttered. She twitched in my arms before coughing up water and gasping for air.
My heart began to beat normally.
When her breathing slowed she opened her eyes.
"Let go of me i clan swim" she snapped. I frowned and slowly let her go.  She began to tread water.
"What are we going to do?" I asked. I didn't intend for my voice to come out whiny but It did.
"First we take off our shoes and we head-" he paused.
"Right" he said.
"How do you know o wise one?" I snapped.
"I don't suppose you have a better idea?" He snapped back. I kept quiet and focused on taking off my shoes. I looked up to see Austin and Talaya had already off without me. I swam after them.
We traveled for hours and hours. And just when I was about to give up and say Austin had gotten us lost and I'm just going tto drown myself I spotted an island.
"Guys!" I shouted. They heard me but kept swimming.
I took a deep breath preparing for what I was about to say.
"SHARK GUYS FOLLOW ME SWIM FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!" I shouted. Talaya and Austin looked at each other and screamed swimming after me. I was ahead of them being the strongest and most athletic. We made it to the island.
"Where is the Sharks" Austin said between breaths. I frowned and said
"There aren't any sharks but y-" Talaya cut me off.
"WHAT YOU STUPID JERK YOU THINK THIS IS THE TIME FOR YOUR STUPID GAMES?! IN CASE YOU HAVENT NOTICED WE ARE GOING TO DIE HERE AND ITS ALL YOU FAULT!" She shouted angrily stomping off into the woods. Austin glared at me and quickly followed her. I stood there and stared after them. Is this really all my fault? B-but how?
I held back tears as I sat down on the shore. The waves crashing towards me and covering me like a blanket. I guess I'll stay by myself.
I watched the waves roll bye and I couldn't take it anymore. I let it all out.
Yes I cried because I knew I was going to die here with two people that hates my guts.
I cried because instead of making things better with Talaya I had somehow made them worse.
I cried because I knew I never got a chance to tell my family I'm sorry.
Most importantly I cried because I knew I was going to hell.
I cried for what seemed like an eternity.
