Chapter 4: Shipwreck

One day, I decided to go to the public indoor pool of the ship. I have several bikinis and swimsuits to choose from but I wore the black two piece and place an oversized white shirt on top.

I dipped myself on the pool and practiced floating for some hours because all my life I never knew how to float and I always sink. After a couple of minutes, I rested at the pool side until this stupid boys came near me and splashed water on my face.

"What the fuck-" i shouted but they ran away before I chased them. I got completely annoyed and went out of the pool.

While I was on my way to the comfort room to shower and rinse out the chlorine from my body, I bumped into Taylor.

"God damn it."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." He apologized.

"You again. Can you just get out of my sight for once in my life?"

"I'm so sorry, I was-"

"Just stop following me because every time I see you, my whole day gets fucked up! Can you back off?!"

I shouted at him and rejected his apology and walked straight to the comfort room to take a shower. After I showered up, I dried my hair with my towel, suddenly, a huge motion was felt on the ship, everyone was stunned and it caused the lights to flash off but it eventually went back.

"What was that?"

"Oh God."

"What the hell happened?"

The people panicked a bit and asked. The personnels around said it's normal and there's nothing to worry about, but I knew there's something going on. I walked fast downstairs and sneaked to the machineries area as I try to listen to the facilitators down there.

"Pull! Raise the gears' speed to maximum!"

"Pull back!"

I calmed myself when I heard them until...

"Jesus! It is failing! Fuck! We are sinking in approximately less than sixty minutes!"

The ship is sinking and we're about to die? I panicked.

"Call the head and distribute life vests! Now!"

"Gates from this section is closing." The voice from the speaker said.

"What? Fuck. You can't! We can't fucking die!" The worker complained furiously.

The moment I knew that the gates from the machineries area will close in a couple of minutes, I tried to run away to save my life but the worker caught me, I tried to escape but he won't let me go.

"Calm down madame! Don't be unfair. We'll both die here." He informed me while his hands are tightly wrapped on my arm.

"Let go of me!" I pleaded then Taylor came and gave him a punch on the face.

"Oh my God!" I exclaimed. He grabbed my hand immediately. "Let's go! Before the last gate closes!" He informed me and pulled me.

"We will die here!" The worker shouted at us while he was lying on the floor.

"Fuck you." Taylor and I answered simultaneously as we run towards the closing gate and luckily, we were able to pass through the gate before it closed. He pulled me again and I just followed, he was heading towards a room, with maps, GPS and stuffs.

"What are you doing?" I asked but he continued studying the maps. A couple of minutes passed...

"Damn! We're at the center of the ocean? No near countries." He informed me. In a couple of seconds the lights began to spark and the electricity was shut off. I panicked and Taylor came near me and held my hand trying to calm me. In no time, just a second after the electricity was off, the ship tilted and we slid to the left side of the room.

"Fuuck! I'm dying. Jesus, save me." I panicked further.

"He will save us." Taylor told me and he pulled my hand and lead the way. We ran to the corridors despite the panicking people and tilted space, we made it out to the open area of the ship. The ship was all wrecked. Sparks made by electric wires are everywhere and everyone was crying. As minutes passes by, the ships sinks deeper and tilts and we were at the edge of the ship.

"Help!"

"Oh my God!"

"Help me!"

That's all I hear. I felt unreal, I feel like I was just dreaming but it was actually real. This is somehow like a Titanic thing and I am Rose. Jesus. Taylor reached out a life vest and placed it on me.

"What about you?" I worried but he didn't answer.

"We jump." Taylor said.

"What? Fuck no." I shouted.

"Or we die. You choose!"

He gave me no choice and I jumped with him. We fell deep the water and the moment I grasped some air and went on the surface of the water, I wasn't able to see him.

"Taylor?" I tried to call him but I'm sure it was useless because the people's yearnings were louder.

I will save my life, I'm sure he can save himself.

I told myself and swam as far as I could. After a bit, a strong sensation ran through my feet! My feet felt like a cement, it was so painful and I can't move until I lost consciousness.
