Michael's pov:
I'd woken up weirdly at the crack of dawn, my jaw aching as i lifted myself up with my arm, wobbling as i yawned, the sun peaked through the blinds as i looked to my side, seeing Noah fast asleep, his arm around me before looking the other way to see my supposed pillow being used as Mercy's bed, i smiled as she slept soundly, kissing her forehead before pulling away and staring back at Noah, biting the inside of my mouth, contemplating, i mean technically, i have forgiven him, it just doesn't feel right, like i want to argue with him that i couldn't care less what he went through, since i went through just as much, but i also understand and see that he's going physically insane knowing that we aren't getting along, i mean me too and just as I'd gotten lost in my thoughts, Mercy woke up crying as Noah stirred and turned the other way.

"It's okay, baby." i hushed her down in my arms, rocking her slowly before she fluttered her eyes open, her eyes we're just like Noah's, she'd also gotten his dark brown hair, making a lump in my throat appear.

"Hi, baby, your so gorgeous, aren't you?" i cooed, kissing her cheek as she smiled, i hugged her the best i could, hearing a sniffle coming from Noah, confused i peeked over to him, he was still asleep, meaning it's a nightmare, i placed Mercy on my lap before trying my absolute hardest to yank Noah up and onto my chest, rubbing his arm as he slowly quietened down.

"Just like your father, huh?" i grinned at Mercy, he'd fallen back asleep, his eyebrows raising a little to show he was relaxed, i decided to just keep him on me, it wasn't like i had anything better to do anyways, spotting a tv remote, i turned it on and found something to watch as i spoke one sidedly to Mercy.

"You smell so nice." he mumbles, half delirious as he wakes up from his slumber, holding me closer as i placed Mercy back on my pillow
as she drifted off to sleep.

"You were crying in your sleep." i pointed out, he doesn't respond, he just holds onto me tighter as if I'm actively disintergrating, i decided to allow it, since it was getting a bit chilly anyways and he was always way hotter than me, nuzzling his neck.

"Your so worried, Noah relax, I'm right here." i pulled him closer to me, we stayed like that for a few hours, none of us spoke as we went on a movie marathon, which i obviously picked and looked at him as he nodded, until Mercy woke up again.

"Are you hungry?" he finally speaks up

"A little." a lot, actually, i rocked Mercy slowly in my arms as she slowly calmed down again.

"I'll get you some food." he patted my back, kissing Mercy's cheek before leaving when he puts a shirt on.

"You gotta help us, angel, me and your father aren't doing good." i sighed, leaning back on the pillows, a few moments later, Noah returned with two full plates of food.

"You remembered?" i sat up on my knees when I'd noticed he'd picked out everything i actually liked, all seperated in different
categories so they aren't touching.

"I want you to eat, of course i remembered, come on, I'll take her." i hand Mercy over to Noah as i started to eat with the fruit first, since the fruit juices might end up messing up the rest of the food, which i wouldn't end up eating then.

"Your father says we'll be reaching shore in about an hour." Noah looks up at me, i know he's trying to make a conversation start, i could tell by how desperate he looked in his eyes.

"Thank god then, i don't mind being on here, it's just i feel like it's gonna end up what it's like in the movies." i said in between bites

"What when there's a storm and then the windows break and water floods in?"

"Exactly, then it's not like we died so some would end up stuck in water, probably one idiot got eaten by a shark and we'll be stranded somewhere and then there's some crazy killer tryna get water."

"Maybe you should stop watching survival movies." he chuckles

"No, they just stick in my head too much, i think about it often and i think that's why I'm afraid of everything, cause i always think about the worst scenarios."

"It's normal to worry."

"But this is more than worrying." i flattened my gaze at him as he grabs the now empty plates and puts it to one side before pulling me onto his lap, i accepted it, leaning on his collarbone and just as i was about to say something again, the boat begins to slow down and stop.

"That's not right, we're still not near shore." i muttered, reluctantly getting off of him as i hurried off to the small circular windows, peeking through as i looked around
to see nothing but sea blue water.

"Maybe they might've just had a small malfunction." Noah tried to comply to comfort me, but it didn't work, this is exactly what i mean.

"I'm gonna go see what's going on." i grabbed his hoodie from back at the game thing, wearing it.

"No, I'll go, i don't want you to get hurt." Noah gets up as Mercy begins to stir.

"I'll be fine, i know how to defend myself if that is the circumstances, please just look after Mercy." i cupped his face, pressing our lips together as he sighed against them, agreeing as he hugs me before i pull away and kiss his cheek, opening the door as i looked over them once more before walking away as i hear the door swiftly shut by itself.

"Father?" i called out, looking
around, i made my way to where I'd suspected he would be, driving the boat, but instead i encountered Kyren struggling.

"What's going on?" i shut the door behind me, it was a lot louder outside, the wind was harsh today which could be what's going on but if that was the case then why didn't the heavy weight in my chest go?

"Someone's messing up the systems and the wind's making me lose control." Kyren groaned

"Move."

"What?"

"I said move." he got off of the seat as i sat down, pulling up what ever he was trying to deal with before, hell i can't even drive a car properly but i managed to actually stir the boat into a direction.

"Which way are we supposed to be going?" i look up at him, gosh, this was a bit hard to handle.

"North." he answered as i turned a little more straight as he let out a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, Afton."

"Whatever, where's my dad?" i swapped with him

"Downstairs trying to figure out what just happened." he shoos me away as i left him to do whatever, heading down stairs to find him fixing a few wires.

"What's happening?" i spoke up a little louder since the engines we're loud.

"Someone's malfunctioning, i swear i saw somebody but they just disappeared."

"So there's a possibility it's somebody that's on th boat, like right now?" i gulped, digging my nails into my palms, my immediate worry going onto Mercy because she's not immortal, i want her to grow and live, what if she dies and stays a baby forever?

"I don't think so, but i suggest locking up just in case, we'll be fine, hopefully, we reach shore in about half an hour now because of all of this or we'd make it by now." he shook his head, I nodded, i stayed with him for a while before heading back up to my room, locking the door behind me with the keys he'd given me.

"Why'd you lock it?" Noah's voice startles me as i turn to look at him.

"There's an intruder that might still be hiding on the boat, so we're locking up just incase." i explain before placing the keys on the nightstand, joining him in bed as he rubs my back.
