"We've got to get to the lifeboat!" I yelled over the continued groaning of the boat. Wordlessly my sister rushed past me, hurrying up onto the deck. ...urning around I grabbed one of the survival kits my father always kept hidden in his locker then made my way back to the deck. As I stepped out onto the rain swept deck, I saw my sister pulling my reluctant mother into the small lifeboat, the two women clinging to each other in their fear. I glanced around the rocking ship, trying to see if there. Lucas was the first person to find me in my corner. I hadn’t seen him or Gwen since the incident and I stood to shake his hand. Instead, he put his hand on the back of my head and tilted his forehead until it met mine.I didn’t know if this was some sort of Nashville greeting that Liz had failed to prepare me for or what.“Damn, man,” he said when he finally released me. He used his palm to push a tear out of his eye and I wondered how much he’d already had to drink before we arrived. He shook. “Are you still sleeping?” he asked setting something down on my bed. ‘Well duh,’zipped through my head at lightning speed. Thank the gods above that my mouth was stuck in first gear when my mind was stuck in tenth. “Mm hmm,” I manage to say as I tried to convince my eyelids to open. “Well, when you do decide to wake up, the first of your presents is on the foot of your bed. You’ll have to wake up and come upstairs for the others. Speaking of which, I do believe that one has just arrived.” He. As we finished, she was doing her post cool down near me, and as I sat down for rest, she came near me and-She: hi, my name is Priyanka, can I join you in the exercise.Me: oh, hi Priyanka. Yeah, you can join me but I think you are doing well all by yourself.Priyanka: I am doing but I lack motivation, as I come all by herself.Me: oh, alright.Priyanka: you didn’t tell me your name, yet.Me: sorry, my name is Vishal.Priyanka: Vishal, you didn’t come to exercise yesterday.Vishal: I was stuck with.
