Stranded (A One Direction Fanfiction)

~Chapter 2~ Cruise Ships And New Friendships

I rubbed my temples, trying to get that stupid memory from the X-Factor out of my head. Camille was rubbing my back, telling me to calm down before I pass out or something. That was until I heard a familiar male, gruff voice say, "Well, we meet again." I looked up to see Louis' blue eyes staring back at me and he did NOT look pleased.

I coughed. I suddenly found myself having a coughing fit, and I began to dig in my purse for my inhaler. Emptying out the contents, I began to look around for it on the ground, all the while I had my fit. Louis bent down in one swift motion and picked up my inhaler. I straightened up, snatching the inhaler from his hand before inserting it into my mouth. Pressing the button down, I sighed in relief. It hasn't even been five minutes yet and I already humiliated myself.

Camille, Alana, Sabrina and Wendy were all in awe. I rolled my eyes. So what if One Direction was here? It was no big deal, they were just a bunch of big fat jerks. I cleared my throught. "So, what happens now?" I asked no one in particular curiously. Liam spoke up. "I guess we are supposed to chat for a bit and get to know each other."

I sighed in frustration. This was going to be a long cruise. Louis turned over to my friends, completely ignoring me. He soon struck up a conversation with Sabrina, who clearly wasn't interested in what he was saying because she continued to sneakily steal glances in Niall's direction. Every time they made eye contact, Niall would look away, his face red in embarrassment. 

I looked over at the four other boys. They all had looks on their faces showing some sort of sympathy. Like they were sorry or something. Zayn spoke up first. "Faith, please forgive us for what happened during the X-Factor." I looked into his pleading eyes. All of them looked sorry. I nodded, to show them that I accepted their apology. They all blew out puffs of air in relief, as if they were getting a pain off their chests.

I talked to Niall first. I found out they he was in love with food. From Zayn, I found out that he was in love with mirrors. Harry was in love with cats, and I forgot what Liam was in love with. Our time together soon came to an end. I saw Paul, their manager, come out of a room. Clapping his hands, he simply said, "Girls, please be back here tomorrow morning at seven o'clock with packed suitcases." We all nodded in unison before quickly exiting the building.

The next morning, I woke up to sunlight streaming through the blinds of one of my bedroom windows. Rolling my suitcases behind me, I quickly made my way to my car, packing away my suitcases. I met the girls over at the radio station at six forty-five. Camille quickly ran up to me, excited for the cruise. "Faith! Aren't you excited?" She happily asked me. "No." I replied. "I just want to get this over with. The only reason I'm still on board with this is because I never loose a dare. I will stick to this no matter what."

Alana shook her head. "You can just be so stubborn sometimes. If you don't want to go through with this, you don't have to do it." I sighed. "I know, Alana. But Faith Cunnings never quits!"

Sabrina was hopping from one foot to another, too excited to speak. After more waiting, the boys finally emerged through the front doors of the radio station, a crowd of fans surrounding them. Paul yelled at them to back up, before quickly hustling the five teenagers into the building. Rolling our suitcases behind us, we were quickly ushered to walk through the back door, where we found a van that would drive us to the ports.

Once we got to the ports, we all quickly went onto the cruise ship. Sliding my aviators on, I sighed. I wish this cruise was over already.

I was right. As soon as we left the ports, we enetered a dangerous area, known as Hurricane Alley. All I remember was the sound of strong winds and a hand gripping onto my forearm. After that, everything went black. But I do remember one thing. Being in water. And lots of it.

Once again, sorry for the bad chapter I'm trying as hard as I can! :$ But don't worry, the chapters are slowly getting better! I'm just having a bit of Writer's Block. Question of the chapter: If you went on a cruise with One Direction, what is the first thing that you would do?

Lots Of Carrots,
