S.S. Queen's Holiday Cruise [2]

Katie

I frown and stare blankly at her. I grip Chance's hand tightly and stand up. "I really do hope you trust your son's judgement and relize how off point that was." I say, trying not to sound rude.

Chance

I look up at Katie in thanks and stand as well, "We should go. Thank you for the congratulations, Dad. Mom... I miss the days you approved of my decisions. But it's been a while since then, hasn't it? C'mon, K. We should go."

Katie

"I hope to see you at the wedding tomorrow." I say. I grip Chance's hand tightly and lead him out the door.

Chance

I squeeze Katie's hand and follow her out, trying to push what just happened out of my mind.

Katie

We walk down the hallway a bit and then I stop and hug him. "I am so sorry that just happened."

Chance

I hug her back and close my eyes, "Don't be. I should have expected it."

Katie

I hug him tighter and do not let go. "Still, there was no need for that." I say.

Chance

I tighten my grip when she does, taking a deep breath, "Some don't always see that. They say what they think, no matter the consequences."

Katie

I pull back to look at him, my arms still around him. "I love you no matter what people say and that will never, ever change."

Chance

I smile and rest my forehead against hers, "I know. I love you too, and nothing will ever change that."

Katie

I smile and lean into kiss him, but then my mother pulls me away. I grunt and wave goodbye to him. "See you tomorrow." I say, smiling.

Chance

I smile and nod, "Sweet dreams, K. See you tomorrow."

Katie

My mom rushes me to Chance's room and makes me grab my dress and all I will need for the big day tomorrow. I grunt as she rushes me out. We head back to the room she got and she makes me sit in the salon chair. She washes my hair and then sits me up.

She puts my hair in rollers. So when my hair is dry, it will cury perfectly. As she does a bunch of stuff, I beging to write my vows.

Chance

I hesitate before heading back to my room, giving Katie enough time to get her stuff. Walking inside, I lie on my back and begin thinking of my vows.

Katie

A while later, my mom takes the things out of my hair and it is really curly. I smile and watch her lay on the bed and fall asleep. I try to, but the bed feels so empty, lonley. I toss and turn, but have not luck.

It is midnight and I still am yet to fall asleep. I sigh and sneek out of the room and walking to Chance's room and knock on the door softly.
