EVERY DAY MIGHT NOT BE GOOD... BUT THERE IS SOMETHING GOOD IN EVERY DAY.
Don't be sorry your darkness is gone. I'll carry it for you. Always. I'll keep it with mine.
“How long does it take to book a cruise on the internet?” I ask myself. I have been online for three hours and I am still not done. I enter my credit card number and enter all my information. Who knew it could take so long. I let out a sigh of relief as I press the enter button.
A blue screen pops up and says, “Congratulations you have successfully purchased one ticket. You will pick up the ticket before boarding the ship.”
“Finally.” I say. I am so excited to go on a cruise. That is what I need to stop being to stressed. I quickly run to my closet. I grab all my dress and shorts. I pack all my nice tops and then put my shoes on the bottom. “What am I forgetting?” I ask myself. “Bathing suit.” I pack thee and notice that my bags are over flowing. I jump on it and some how manage to get it to close. I am so excited I can not stand it.
If I am going to be on that ship in time, I need to get on that plane now. I have to drive all the way across the country to be there on time. I gather all my bags and head out the door. I am so excited

When I didn't find the captain on the pier, I jogged aboard the Mockingbird II to look there. Sure enough, Captain Jones was on the bridge, giving the ship a once-over.
"Will!" he exclaimed. "Nice to see you again! Your new uniform isn't in yet; it should be here before we set sail, though. Is that what you came for?"
I shook my head. "Actually, I came to redeem my sick days," I explained. "I think I'll be a passenger on this run. You know, I've been on this ship for a year, but I've never actually been on vacation."
The captain laughed. "I see," he chuckled. "Well, I'll make sure there's a ticket waiting for you."
"Thank you, sir," I said. "I'm going to go get some lunch. Can I bring you anything?"
"No, I'm fine," Captain Jones replied. "I'll see you soon."
I give out a sigh of relief as I hit the enter button on the library's computer, the screen turned blue and read 'Congratulations you have successfully purchased one ticket. You will pick up the ticket before boarding the ship.' I smiled and stretched; the library seats were so uncomfortable. "I cannot believe I am going on a cruise." "Promise me you will be careful Tallulah." My father snuck up behind me, I could feel the worry in his words. "I promise I will not tarnish your reputation Father." He raised his eyebrow and gave a look of discontentment, "I am kidding! I will be fine." I logged off of the computer and hugged my father, they can be so attached. "I will take pictures, and avoid every man I see." "That's my girl!" I rolled my eyes, "Are you all packed?" I nodded, I had packed before you even agreed to this I thought to myself. "Well we should head home before your sisters figure out where we have gone and then I will take you to the airport." He wrapped his arm over my shoulder and kissed my head as we walked out of the library, this was almost like a dream, and I swear if it is, I don't want to be pinched.
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Zipping up the last of my bags, I make sure my notebook and pen are in my jacket and rest on my desk chair for a moment. My parents had paid for my cruise in hopes that it would bring about the end to my temporary writers block. I guess seeing me sit in my room all day with no will to do anything but stare at the wall until a spark of inspiration hit me took a toll out on them.
I sigh and pick up my two bags and head for the door, passing through my gooing parents and trying to avoid more than the mandatory kiss on the cheek from my over obsessive mother. A taxi cab waits to take me to the dock, having purchased the ticket online last night. Once I get there, I have to pick it up and head aboard. I slip in the cab and my parents say their last goodbyes, paying the driver before I get the chance.
"Be careful, Reu!" Mom waves from the front porch, "Bring us back a prize winning piece!"
Waving back, I wait until the taxi peals from the curb to let out the breath I'd been holding.
"Well needed vacation, huh, son?" the driver jokes.
"Big time," I flash a smile, taking out my journal and pen.

[b Larry Stylinson ][/b] Grabbing my bags ready to go as i press the purchase button on the computer, and head straight out the door. i go outside of my apartment i whistle for a cab, "To the docks please". " Yes sir", the strange looking cab driver said to me. When i arrived at the docks i say thank you to the cab driver and give him the money i owe him. As i rush to the ticket box i go and get my tickets and head to the ship.

Ari I sit on one of the wooden seats with Simon as we wait for our parents to finish ordering the tickets. It's taking a while so I stand up and walk over to the shelf where they have been keeping out bags and grab mine, going through it carefully and making sure I haven't left anything behind. As soon as we leave here we're heading to the docks. Simon edges up behind me grabbing the handle to his bag to. "How long do you think it's gonna be?" He asks and begins to zip and unzip the top of his bag. I smile in what I hope is a comforting way. "Soon, hopefully." I tell him looking back to the service desk and feeling abundantly relieved when I see our parents at the front of the line. "Look," I point out to him, "They're almost done." He nodds, grinning and looking happier then I've seen him in a while. "This is gonna be so much fun!" he says happily, running off back in the direction of the seats and I turn back to my bag and randomly pulling my camera out of my bag, slinging the chord around my neck before I re-zip my bag and head back towards Simon and the seats. Simon
This is going to be so much fun! I hope we can leave soon. Ari walks back to the seats with her camera and starts taking random shots of the room. "What's interseting?" I ask pulling a brochure off the wall and looking at the pictures on the cover. "This building is kinda cool," she says looking around- mostly at the roof. "What'd you mean?" I ask, though I kinda know where she's going with this. Just then mum walks back over holding four small tickets. "All right guys," she says, taking our hands, "Lets get out of here." I watch towards the shelf and see dad heffing along our bags. "What do you think the boat will be like?" I ask as we walk outside and mum signals for a taxi. "Big," Ari says after a while, "And probably..." The taxi pulls to the side and motions for us to get in. One by one we climb in, dad in the front, next to the driver and me, Ari and Mum sitting in the back. Finally.
EVERY DAY MIGHT NOT BE GOOD... BUT THERE IS SOMETHING GOOD IN EVERY DAY.
Don't be sorry your darkness is gone. I'll carry it for you. Always. I'll keep it with mine.
Sundays were the best. Those were the only days, apart from the holidays, that I would spend time my brother Alex. But today for some reason he seems hell bent on ignoring me. I tried to talk to him but he was so uncooperative. So I just gave up and decided to take a nap instead, been careful not to crush my right side because it still hurt a little from my accident a month ago. Just when I was about to drift into unconsciousness, I felt something cascade down on me and jumped up. “You idiot, your way too old to pull this stuff on me, besides you could injured me further.” I yelled up a 32 year old brother who still acted like a teenager “Who’s the stupid one? You think this,” he shoved a bunch of me clothes at me face and continued, “Could injure you.” “What’s my closet doing on the floor anyways?” I asked while pushing his hand away He smiled, “pack up, you’re going on a vacation.” “Alone? Where?” I asked alarmed. It seemed like my confidence was also injured in that accident. His eyes softened when he noiticed my distress. “Don’t worry. You’ll be safe, it a cruise ship.” He patted my head and added, “This will be good for you.” After a moment I nodded, “yeah, you’re probably right.”
I've been out of this stuff for a long time so I'm still kinda trying to get back into it. Please tell me if this is bad and I'll change it.

When I finally finished packing, I wiped my forehead then stood back to admire all the bags that I had managed to stuff everything that I wanted to bring in. They bulged in every way possible, looking as though they were going to explode. I was very pre-cautious, thinking of every single possible situation I might get into. Better to pack too much than not enough. This trip was going to last a long time, so I decided to bring whatever I could.
My parents walked into the room and helped my bring my stuff to the front yard where are small yellow taxi waited for me. They had gotten my ticket on the cruise ship the day before.
They were really happy to see me get out of the house. They always worried that I wasn't social enough. I, on the other hand, wasn't so excited about this. But I guess I did kind of need time to relax. I hoped it would turn out okay.
Every exchanging many hugs and kisses, I loaded everything into the taxi and was off, waving my final goodbyes just before turning the corner. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. But at the same time, I was kind of excited. I didn't get out much, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had a feeling everything was going to be good, though.
I am aPUZZLE yet to be putTOGETHER
But at the same time, I'm just onePIECE still trying to figure out where IFIT IN
I was standing up at the front of the ship , leaning over , when I turned around I saw will talking to my father I decided to go up and talk to my father, when I got up there will was gone , I gazed down at all the people boarding the ship and said to my father , " its a nice day , and the ship is smaller, with a better turning circle then mockingbird one ," I also said " dont let this ship crash and burn like my last one okay?" , he replied " roger that" , I left my father and went to the cafe to grab a bite to eat , when i arrived there, I found will , we started chatting again , he asked me " where are we going to this time?" , I replied , " My new island , it beautiful out their , its so peaceful but deadly, I bought it last year after mockingbird 1 , I live out there now ".
Let the past live behind you not with you ,let the present live with you not behind you.
