S.S Queen’s Holiday Cruise

Katie

I lay on his chest and look up at him.

Chance

I keep my arms around her and rest my cheek against the top of her head.

Katie

"It is amazing how much could happen in two days." I say.

Chance

I smile and nod, about to respond as my head starts throbbing again. More images pass through, and it gets worse this time. Gently, I move her off of me and make a run for the bathroom, getting there just in time to double over.

Katie

I jump up, grunting at the pain in my leg. I walk into the bathroom and rub his back.

Chance

More images come, voices of people I know and people I don't know screaming at me through memories. Taking my head in my hands, I close my eyes and try to even my breathing as the throbbing increases.

Katie

I frown, not knowing what to do. He leans over, holding his head. I rub his arms, wondering what is going on in his mind.

Chance

It stops but the pounding doesn't. Taking a deep breath, I open my eyes and look back at Katie.

Katie

I look to him, frowning. I hate this has to happen to him. "Are you okay?"

Chance

I nod, using a piece of bathroom tissue to wipe my mouth, "M-my head just hurts."

Katie

"I am so sorry. I hate things have to happen this way." I say to him.

Chance

I flash a smile, "S'okay. We can't do anything about it."

Katie

I nod and look down. Horrible thoughts are triggered in my brain. I think ifi we never went back to our relationship, he would not have to be in this much pain.

Chance

I study her, taking her hand, "Whatever you're thinking, stop. Don't blame yourself or anything like that. This happened because God willed it. It was fate for me."

Katie

I nod. "He does have strange ways of working, but all for his glory."
