Days passed in Rudy was becoming more and more sad. Knowing he had to leave his friends. James and Scott knew he had to leave soon.
Really look out the windows of his quarters and saw the gray sky moving. The clouds are rolling in and the boat was becoming shaky, Rudy instantly knew a storm was breaching. He went out to the captain's deck and saw James sleeping at the wheel.
"Hey buddy, how's it going? James asked waking up.
"Great, is there a storm coming soon?" Rudy asked.
"Yeah, but by the looks of it, it'll blow right over us"
"Okay, good"
James kneeled down and looked at Rudy in his eyes.
"Do you care about us or something?"
"Yes!" Rudy said loudly
James laughed and Pat Rudy's head. Rudy sat down on the step staring at the sky.
"You okay Rudes?" James asked.
"Yeah, I'm just thinking"
"What about, squirt?"
"I won't ever see you again"
"Awe buddy, you don't know that for sure "
"I do though, once I leave, I won't see you or Scott anymore"
"Awe, listen Rudy, maybe not so soon, but we will find paths again"
"Really?"
"Yes, and when you see me next, I'll give you the biggest of hugs."
Rudy smiled
"What if I just not leave?" And stay with you guys?" Rudy asked.
"Look, it sucks here, you know it does. But as much as I'd love to keep you around, you have to leave and discover your own adventure, find out who you are and become stronger." James adjusted his pants.
"Oh, okay, you will miss me right?"
"Of course, Scott will too. We love ya Rudy."
Rudy sighed and smiled. He looked back up to the sky and noticed the clouds becoming darker.
"Here comes the storm! Find Shelter!" Scott yelled from below.
"It's not that bad! We'll be fine!" James called back.
Scott was then seem running from the lower decks.
"Jim, the storm reader, it's going crazy! Get Rudy somewhere safe and come with me!" Scott panted.
Rudy looked at Scott then at James.
"Rudy, get to the middle deck and close the door, we'll be there momentarily"
Really didn't know if it was a good idea or not but he wasn't anyway. Clumsy walking down as the boat rocked back and forth slowly Rudy bit his lip.
James and Scott ran down to the lowest deck and Scott ripped open the curtain to the weather's room.
"Look, she's going crazy!" Scott pointed.
James sighed and shook his head.
"you idiot, you tripped up and hit the table, you made a good crazy, look." James punched tyr table.
"What?! no I didn't touch it"
"Even so, the storm isn't going to kill us."
But. James, there was just a hurricane down south this is still possibly dangerous for Rudy..."
"Not at all, we are heading east right? We should be fine."
"About that... We took a wrong turn and we're heading south"
"What what do you mean we? you bettee I mean you, Scott you're the one who steered us out of the docks!"
"Okay well sorry, my apologies man. We can just turn around right??
"That's not the point, we've been going the wrong way for four bloody days!"
"James calm down"
"no! You got us into this mess, and now we're way behind schedule, this is all your fault Scott!!"
Rudy heard yelling from where he was. He worried and went to see what was going on. He walks into the room and saw James towering over Scott with an angry expression.
"I can't believe I trusted you to the damn boat Scott. This was your one chance not to mess up and look what you did!"
Rudy bit his lip
"Uh-m, whats going on?" Rudy asked quietly.
James froze and started Rudy with a red face. Scott just sat there staring at the ground feeling bad.
"Oh, sorry, Rudy, the Scott here can't drive, we're supposed to be going east and we're..."
James took out his compass.
"Going south and he didn't even bother to turn this around while he knew!"
"I'm sorry..."
"so, is that meant that word going down to the other America?"
"What? No"
"Oh.."
"but James is so worked up over a wrong turn and obvious mistake when he should be worried about something major! This damn hurricane" Scott blurted out.
"What's a hurricane?" Rudy asked.
"It's a huge storm and it could be very dangerous"
"Oh"
James glared at Scott
"we wouldn't be in this mess if you wouldn't have slept off and took the left turn" James screamed.
"Whoa whoa whoa! I did not slack off Jim!" Scott yelled. "You're supposed to be Captain, why weren't you looking up your compass and Dead yourself Mr. Oh so responsible?!"
Scott stood up and pointed at James.
James grout and pup that his chest and punched got in the jaw. Rudy gasped and covered his mouth Scott gas and Gloria James f*** you Jim. Honestly, f*** you" Scott spit and walked out the room.
James sighed, shaking his head Rudy stared at James. James looked at Rudy.
"I'm sorry you had to see that buddy.. " James apologized.
Rudy breathed slowly "don't sorry me, sorry Scott" he said and walked out the room.
James felt horrible yet he also didn't. He was angry with Scott and angry with himself. James looked over at the storm reader and saw the lines getting sharper and sharper. He grunted and walked up to the steering wheel Scott wasn't there in fact he was in the washroom tending to his jaw. James sighed and tried at the wheel to turn it around but it wouldn't budge.
"What the?" He said to himself he tried it again, nothing happened. "Oh come on" he granted he looked ahead rain and already started to fall each yard of water they traveled, the harder it got.
"Damnit" he cursed.
James at the wheel and cursed more.
Rudy had found Scott in the washroom his jaw swollen.
"Are you okay? Rudy asked.
Scott looked up "y-yeah, I'm okay, why?"
"He hit you pretty hard"
"It's fine Rudy, I'm fine, see?" He smiled.
Rudy frowned.
"You're not fine Scott, you're hurt, and just not in your face."
Scott sighed and took a seat on the loo.
"I'm used to it. Jim has a short temper build."
"that doesn't mean he should hit you. No matter how angry he gets."
Scott smirked at Rudy.
"If only he knew that..." Scott pulled Rudy in for a hug. But before they could embrace James was yelling for Scott.
"I'll be back, unless you want to come with."
Rudy shrugged.
Scott walk to where James was;
"What?" Scott said unenthusiastically.
"What did you do to the wheel?" James asked
"Why do you assume it was me?"
"Because you were the last to touch it."
"What? No I wasn't"
James grunted "fix it."
Scott growled. The rain becoming harder in the sky becoming darker. Rudy whimpered and stayed under the roof.
"Why must you blame everything on me, James?!" Scott yeldell over the wind.
"Because everything is your fault Scott "
"no it's not! I'm sick of you always talking down on me! Yeah I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, but I can at least move heavy bundles and cargo you don't do anything!!"
"Excuse me?!"
"You heard me Jim! And I ain't repeating myself!"
"Listen hear Scott..." James stated, walking towards him, causing Scott to walk backwards.
"you're a fat lazy tub of lard and a good-for-nothing so-called worker. I'm always left to do your job and your lazy jackass self thinks I'm the bad guy because I speak my mind"
"No Jim, you're just an asshole!"
"Enough! I can't believe I have you as a crewmate!"
Scott was backed up already in to the edge of the boat, James still screaming at him. Thunder road and lightning struck somewhere. Scott kept his chest puffed and he kept a straight face.
"Jim, I hate you right now." Scott said quietly but loud enough to be heard.
"I know you don't, I know you don't" James replied.
Scott huffed.
"Nah you're right, I despise you Jim, absolutely loathe!"
James's eyes widen, she was hurt. James didn't hate Scott he felt he just being honest. Scott looked as if he were crying, but yet do the rain, it seemed as if they were both crying.
"W-well, I hate you too Scott, I always have!"
"By the way I've been treated by you Id believe it!"
James wanted to punch Scott again but held back.
"Go ahead, I know you want to..." Scott said, seeing James fist below him.
"That's all you ever want to do anymore!" Scott said.
James screamed.
meanwhile, the storm was increasing strength and Rudy, scared of thunder, hunched in the corner of the room he was in. Thunder boomed and Rudy scream II. He was scared and all he could do was hold onto himself. He could hear Scott and James constant arguing Rudy teared up water trickling on the shoulders. He was cold and scared and didn't know what to do. Rudy decided he needed a hug from either James or Scott. Rudy frowned and ran out to the main deck but slept, being barefoot and fell onto the floor and was rolled onto the edge. The wind was great and water splashed up onto the deck. Fog rolled in and the rain padded harder. Rudy couldn't see anything in front of him and his feet were sore. Rudy cried out but the only sound of crashing waves was heard. Rudy cried, he tried to get up but was pushed back down by a salty Wave.
Rudy coughed and threw up water. Now, parched and feeling dehydrated, Rudy use the edge to help himself up but he couldn't keep balanced. Rudy huffed and wind. Rudy when I give up though, he waddled his legs upward and stood up. But unfortunately, he watch as an empty crate slide in his direction. before Rudy had time to think, he attempted to jump over it, but the ship's Wade and Rudy lost his footing, flying into the water and some emerging completely. Rudy, although cannot swim, the crate had also fall into the water he tried to use it as leverage. Reddy ice cream for scar James but they cannot hear him..
waves crashed, they were large and strong, Rudy cried out for help, but yet, nothing happened and all he's so next with pitch black
