You Belong To Me- Part 2 (KAYLOR)

228.

"Jesus, it's so cold. I can't feel my my body." Karlie said.

"Let's just stay close to one another, they're gonna find us."

"It's so dark Lily, they're never gonna find us out here."

"THEY WILL, TH...TH...THHHINK POS.....OSSSSITIVE." A stuttering voice from the far end of emergency raft said.

The plane had crashed in the ocean. Luckily it was already descending, which helped lessen the impact when they finally touched the water. Had it just dropped from its original altitude, it would have ripped to shreds upon impact.

The emergency rafts were inflated and most of the passengers were accounted for. They huddled their bodies together, trying to keep warm and avoid hypothermia. Each raft held about 45-50 people.

The passengers held each other tight. They prayed and cried together. Some just screamed out, trying their best for someone in the darkness to hear their cries. The fog was so thick, they knew it would be difficult for any aircraft to see them.

"I never made up with her Lily." Karlie said as she rocked herself back and forth. "I never made up with my wife. Jesus, what have I done. She's gonna panic when she sees this on the news. That's one thing about Taylor. She was angry at me but I know she'll come running if something were to ever happen to me. What if she loses the baby from the stress?"

"Karlie, the baby will be ok. Taylor will be ok and so will all of us. We're gonna get out of here. They're gonna find us........they have to."

------------

"Hello, Taylor's phone."

"No, this is Behati. Is this Karlie's mom? Hi Tracy."

"Behati, I just saw on the news about the plane. Is it true? Was Karlie on the plane?"

Tracy was a mess. She was sobbing through each of her words.

"Yes, Tracy. It's true."

"Oh dear God. Where's Taylor?"

"Taylor is here in my hotel. She was just given a sedative to keep her calm. She's a mess right now and just fell asleep."

"Behati what happened? How is this happening? I can't lose my daughter, I just can't. Why God, why. Not my Karlie. You can't take my Karlie."

Behati couldn't do anything other than cry to the sound of Tracy's pleading voice.

"They're going to be ok. They're going to find them. Karlie is a fighter. She's gonna be ok." Behati didn't know what else she could say to try and ease Tracy's mind.

"I'm coming out there. I have to be there for when Karlie comes home. Oh my God....Taylor and the baby. I have to be there."

"Tracy, I don't want to tell you what to do. If you want to come out here, you can. But what about the girls? You need to be strong for them. Scott and Andrea are already on their way. It's up to you what you'd like to do."

"Let me talk to my girls. I'll just bring them all with me. It's important for me to be there." Tracy said.

"Ok." Behati said. "We'll see you soon."

The two hung up as Behati went in the bedroom to check on Taylor. Taylor was wearing one of Karlie's favorite sweatshirts and matching sweatpants. She was curled in a ball, hugging a pillow tight. The model pulled her blanket up to her shoulders and kissed the top of Taylor's head. "Don't worry Taylor. They're gonna find her."

------------

"Scott, how much longer?" Andrea asked. "It feels like we've been on this plane forever."

"We still have three hours to go, Andrea."

"This can't be happening. What if they don't find this plane? Our daughter will never be the same." Andrea said as she became hysterical.

Scott reached over and pulled his wife in for a hug.
"That plane is going to be found." Scott said with tears in his eyes. "It has to be. We just need to pray."

---------------

"HELP US.....PLEASE......ANYONE.....CAN YOU HEAR MEEEEEE???" Karlie screamed at the top of her lungs, through the brutal cold air and pitch black night. The fog was so dense, you couldn't see a single star in the sky.

"SHHHHH, WHAT'S THAT NOISE?" A man from the other side of the raft asked.

"Shhhh, it sounds like a helicopter." Another voice cried out.

The passengers all waved their arms as  they could soon see a spotlight moving in all directions.

"OVER HERE!!!! WE'RE RIGHT HERE!! YESSSSS, RIGHT HERE. WHERE??? ..........NO....DON'T GO.........WE'RE RIGHT HERE!!!"

The screams became silent.

"They didn't see us." Lily said as she began to cry.

Karlie sat behind her friend and wrapped her long arms and legs around her, trying to keep her as warm as possible.

"I'm so cold." Lily said.

"I know you are Lil. I know you are."

----------

"Hello?"

"Hey Behati, how are you holding up? How's Taylor?"

Behati couldn't even muster any words together. She just instantly started crying.

"Hey hey, they're gonna be found. Do you think Karlie is leaving Taylor anytime soon? Jesus, she'll
cut off her own limbs if she had to, to get back to her. And Lily.... Have you ever seen her when she gets angry? She's brutal. She's not going down without a fight."

Cara tried her best to try and get a smile out of her ex-girlfriend. She was just as worried and scared as everyone else but she couldn't imagine what any of this must be like for Behati. To be somewhere, where you know no one and the only person you do know, is sedated quietly in the next room, has to be quite difficult.

"Cara, what if they're not ok? I know I shouldn't say that but I'm just so afraid. This is so unfair. Lily has a family. She has a little girl to raise. And Karlie....Jesus, they're starting a family. How is this fair? It's just so fucked up."

"Beh, I know it is. But you need to think positive. Don't give up. If it was you out there, they wouldn't give up on you."

"I know they wouldn't Cara. I know. Hold on, there's another update on the news...

*Air Italia flight 3728 is still missing. Helicopters have been circling the area, but due to the dense fog, do not have clear visibility. The coast guard is currently out and searching the waters. We will continue to pray for the passengers and their families and will keep you updated as we receive additional updates.*

"Cara, I'm gonna go check on Taylor. I'll give you a call back."

"Ok. Stay strong. Taylor needs you right now."
